•Compoaition calculated. 

"Estimate baaed on plant-vide material balance. 

•••Combustion products from a liquids Incinerator also exist. In addition to "other emissions". These combustion products 

present no emissions inventory contribution (the NOx and CO are so lov that they have no si gi.i f Icance as pollutants). 

••••Compoaition & flov estimated from material balance and estimated pneumatic conveyor hi over capacity. 

•••••"Compoaltion based on process composition - flov estimated". 

Note: For non-polluting streams, please see Simplified Flow Diagram Figure LD-1 (Drawing R-209) and Table IV.
