Rory et al., 

Please find the attached documentation regarding recent changes to Managed Burning and Disposal emissions, as they 

are reflected in the 2015 San Joaquin Valley PM2.5 SIP. 

Additionally, here are some links to the detailed methodologies used to derived estimates for these categories. 

Agricultural Burning:

Forest Management:

Please note that the example calculations in the detailed methodologies reflect year 2006 or 2007 emissions. However, 

newer 2012 activity data were used, with the above methodologies and emission factors, to come up with the estimates

in the 2015 SIP. 

Let’s plan to walk through this material at tomorrow’s 10am conference call. However, if you have any questions in the 

meantime, please let me know. 

Thanks, 

Steve

Hi Steve, 

We don’t have a conference line available here – they are all booked. Do you have access to a 

conference line on your end? Thanks!

Hi Rory, 

I’m not sure if the phone where we are meeting accepts incoming calls, so can we call in to your 

conference line? 

Also, I plan to send out some background materials today for the call tomorrow. 

Thanks, 

Steve
