Instructions for filling the Emission Test Template

This Information Collection Request (ICR) spreadsheet is intended to collect information about emission data fro

fuel burning power plants and which test methods were used to do so for cases where the test methods are not 

supported by the Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT). This spreadsheet should only be used if the method is not in t

if you do not have access to a lab which performs methods that are in the ERT. Constituents of concern are: Car

Monoxide, Formaldehyde, Methane, Speciated Volatile Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs), Speciated Semi

HAPs, Sulfer Dioxide, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Hydrogen Cyanide, Nitrogen Oxides, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), 

Suspended Solids (TSS). You must complete 3 separate sampling events for each of the requested constituents. 

spreadsheet is intended to be used for one boiler of one facility. Data for multiple boilers should be handled b

separate copies of this spreadsheet. Fields shaded in yellow are required. All cells that are shaded in light gree

populated using drop-down lists. You do not need to populate cells shaded in gray, as they are automatically po

from the Boiler Information worksheet. Please Do Not modify the structure of this spreadsheet by adding or su

rows, columns, cells. Please name each resulting spreadsheet with the following naming convention: 

[FacilityID]_Unit_[BoilerID]_EmisTestMethods.xls (example: 8100_Unit_2_EmisTestMethods.xls).

Please refer to the following steps when using these spreadsheets.

Boiler Information Worksheet

1. Please enter the the EIA Facility Code, Facility Name and Boiler ID of your boiler on the Boiler Information wo

2. Please enter the control device configuration.

Emission Data Worksheets

The emission data worksheets are provided for each constituent or constituent family requred for this analysis. 

spreadsheet, you must enter boiler operating information during sampling, fuel input information, and emission 

results. There are generally 1 to 3 emission test results records to be entered depending on the constiuent or co

family. For example, CO only requires 1 record with 3 sample events, while Mercury requires that you enter bot

Hg+2, or if the Ontario-Hydro Method was used, you would need to enter Hg0, HgP, and Hg

Specieated Volatile Organic HAP and Speciated Semi-Volatile Organic HAP worksheets allow you to use a drop

provided in the Constituent field to define as many records as needed to record each HAP that you have results f

General instructions follow for these worksheets:

Boiler Operation Information

1. Please determine which units of measure (acfm or dscfm) were used for Exhaust Flow Rate and which units o

(deg C or deg F) were used for Exhaust Temperature. Fill these units of measure into the Units of Measure field.

2. Please provide the values of all requested parameters for each of the 3 sample testing periods in the Sample 

2, and Sample 3 fields.

3. Please provide any other supporting information or comments in the Other Supporting Information field.

Fuel Information

1. Please enter what types of fuel are being used in your boiler using the drop-downs in the Fuel Type Selection 

You may enter up to 4 fuel types. Then, enter the input rate of each fuel in the Sample 1, Sample 2, and Sample 

If you are not burning one or more of the fuel types entered in one or more samples, then enter an input rate of

2. Please enter the unit of measure using the drop down provided.

3. Please enter the test method used to determine the fuel input rate.

4. Please provide any other information that you feel may be important in the Other Supporting Information fie

Emission Data

1. Some constituents ask for the emission rate results of each of the 3 samples in two different units of measure

others do not. If emission rate results are requested in two different units of measure (ex. lb/MMBtu (Pounds p

BTU) and ppmvd @ 7% O2 (parts per million by volume dry basis at 7 percent oxygen)), you are required to prov
