## BASE YEAR EMISSIONS INVENTORY AND EMISSIONS

STATEMENTS

1.0 Introduction

On April 30, 2012 , the United States Env ironmental Protection Agency ( EPA) designated areas

as nonattainment for the 2008 8

- hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard or NAAQS

(77 F R 30088) . The final ozone designations were based primarily on certified air quality

monitoring data from calendar years 2008

- 2010

. The Charlotte

- Gastoni a

- Salisbury, North

Carolina area (referred to as the Charlotte nonattainment area) was designated marginal

nonattainment for the 2008 8

- hour ozone NAAQS by the EPA , effective on July 20, 2012

. In

accordance with section 182 (a)(1) of the Clean Air Act, the State of North Carolina is required to

submit a base year inventory for emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic

compounds (VOC) in this nonattainment area within 24 months of designation. Also within 24

months of designation, CAA section 182(a)(3)(B) requires the state to ensure adequate

provisions are in place that require the owner or operator of each stationary source of NOx and

VOC emissions to provide the state with a statement showing actual emissions.

Th e Charlotte nonattainment area includes the entire coun ty of Mecklenburg and parts of

Cabarrus, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Rowan and Union Counties (see Figure 1

- 1 )

. The partial

counties include the townships listed in Table 1

- 1. Note that the EPA also designated the portion

of Yo rk County, South Carolina that is adjacent to the Charlotte

- Gastonia

- Salisbury, North

Carolina as marginal nonattainment for the 2008 8

- hour ozone NAAQS

. The S outh Carolina

Department of Health & Environmental Control is responsible for submitting a plan that

documents the base year inventory for emissions of NOx and VOC and includes emissions

statements requirements for the South Carolina portion of the nonattainment area.Narrative 2

- 2 displays the population percentages per county that were used to determine the

nonattainment portion for each county except Mecklenburg. The population percentages were

obtained by determining the population density in each township using geographic info rmation

system ( GIS ) mapping

. The population percentages are based on 2010 census data. The total

county emissions were multiplied by the population p ercentages to calculate the emissions for

the nonattainment portion only for each county. This methodol ogy was applied to the emissions

for the on

- road mobile, nonroad mobile, and area source sector s

. For point source s, the location

coordinates were mapped using a GIS to identify the facilities located within the nonattainment

portion of each county

. For Mecklenburg County , the emissions associated with all emission

sources are included in this SIP because the nonattainment area includes all of Mecklenburg

County

2.0 Current Air Quality

The North Carolina Division of Air Quality (DAQ) and the Mecklenburg County Air Quality

( MCAQ ) have collected ambient monitoring data for the Charlotte area since the late seventies.

At the time of the 2008 8

- hour ozone designations, there were seven ozone monitors located

throughout the Charlotte nonattainment area

. These monitors were installed in accordance with

the procedures specified in the Code of Fe deral Regulations (CFR) 40 CFR 58.

Figure 2

3.0 Emission s Inventories

There are four different man

- made emission inventory source classifications: (1) stationary point,

(2) area, (3) on

- road mobile

, and (4) nonroad mobile sources. The emissions for each source

classification are calculated on a ton per summer day basis . All emissions are reported for the

2 011 base year representing typical (average) day emissions for the month of July. The

emissions reported for Cabarrus, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Rowan

, and Union Counties reflect the

emissions for the nonattainment portion only. The nonattainment portion emissions , except for

point sources, were determined based on the population of the nonattainment townships for each

partial county. For point source emissions, the nonattainment portion was based on whether theNarrative 7

North Carolina Emissions Inventory & Emissions Statements SIP facility is located inside the nonattainme nt area by utilizing GIS mapping. For Mecklenburg

County, the emissions for the entire county are provided.

The point source inventory consists of emissions from individual facilities ( permitted point

sources, aircraft and related ground support equipme nt at airports and locomotives at rail yards).

In general, the point source emissions inventory includes stationary sources with air permits that

have the potential to emit more than 5 tons per year of a criteria pollutant or its precursors from a

single facility

. 1 The se facilities report source

- specific emissions data to the DAQ and MCAQ

according to each agenc y’ s emissions reporting rules. The ir emissions are tabulated from data

collected through direct on

- site emissions measurements systems or mass balance calculations

utiliz ing emission factors from the EPA’s AP

- 42 or stack test results. 2 The DAQ and MCAQ

submitted facility

- specific emissions data to the EPA as part of the agency’s triennial National

Emissions I nventory (NEI) development efforts. As such, the base year 2011 point source

emissions inventory for the Charlotte nonattainment area is identical to the 2011 NEI version 1.0.

Airports and rail yards are not required to have air quality permits for construction and operation

, although t hey could have equipment such as a boiler or generator that require a n operating

permit. The se source types have fixed and known locations and their emissions quantities can be

com parable to industrial sources . T herefore, for purposes of the EPA ’ s NEI, they are reported as

industrial point sources. In the past, these source s were reported with nonroad mobile sources.

In order to be consistent with the NEI, the base year 2011 airports and rail yards are summarized

with the point sources emissions inventory

.

Although both the DAQ and MCAQ inventory includes all of the criteria air pollutants and a

large number of toxic pollutants, only the NOx and VOC emissions are reported since they are

the precursor pollutants for ozone formation.

Fo r detailed discussion on how the point sources emission inventory was developed, see

Appendix B.1. A summary of the point source NOx and VOC emissions is presented in Table 3

-

1 and Table 3

- 2 , respectively

.

1 Stationary point sources with the potential

- to

- emit 5 tons per year or less are included in the area source emissions

inventory.

2 Continuous emissions monitoring (CEM) data were available for all three electricity generating stations (G.G.

Allen, Buc k, and Riverbend) located in the nonattainment area; therefore, the CEM data for July 2011 were used to

calculate typical summer day emissions for NOx.Narrative 8

Area sources are those stationary sources whose emissions are relatively small but due to the

large number of these sources, the collective e missions could be significant (e

. g ., dry cleaners,

service stations). For area sources, emissions are estimated by multiplying an emissio n factor by

some indicator of collective emissions activity such as production, number of employees, or

population. These types of emissions are estimated at the county level. For detailed discussion

on how the area source emission inventory was develope d, see Appendix B.2. A summary of the

- road mobile sources are defined as those vehicles that travel on public roadways. Emissions

from motor vehicles occur throughout the day while the vehicle is in motion, at idle, parked and

during refueling. All of these emissions processes need to be estimated in order to properly

reflect the total emissions from this source category. For on

- road mobile sources, the EPA’s

MO tor Vehicle Emissions Simulator (MOVES) mobile model is run to generate emissions. Note

that the EPA 2011 NEI version 1.0 used a representative county approach to estimate emissions

for all counties contained in a given state. As part of the DAQ’s official comments on EPA’s

version 1.0, it was determined that county level on

- road modeling using count y

- specific vehicle

population, mix, and other local data are the best method for creating an emissions inventory.

The base year 2011 on

- road emissions inventory presented here represents results from the

DAQ’s MOVES modeling for each ozone nonattainment county. For a detailed discussi on on

how the on

- road mobile emission inventory was developed, see Appendix B.3. A summary of

. The emissions from most of the

nonroad mobile sources are calculated using the EPA’s NONROAD model. The r ailroad

locomotive emissions are calculated with fuel use data, track miles and emission factors.

Nonroad mobile sources also include commercial marine vessels but no commercial marine

vessels operate in the Charlotte area. For detailed discussion on how the nonroad mobile

4.0 Emission s Statements

Section 182(a)(3)(B) of the CAA and subsequent EPA rules and memorand a require stationary

source facilities located within m arginal and above nonattainment areas to submit an emissions

statement within 2 ye ars of ozone nonattainment designation . Specifically, an owner or operator

of each stationary source of NOx and VOC emissions must pro vide the state with a statement

showing the actu al emissions from that source.

North Carolina already has an emissions statement progr am due to a previous nonattainment

designation. North Carolina’s last SIP revision related to meeting the emissions statement

requirement for the Charlotte area was approved through a direct final action taken by EPA on

April 24, 2012 (77 FR 24382). The EPA rule approve d North Carolina’s annual emissions

reporting requirement s into the SIP on June 25, 2012. North Carolina continues to operate underNarrative 11

### 1.0 INTRODUCTION A ND SCOPE

The point source inventory consists of emissions from individual facilities (point sources)

, airports, and rail yard s . I ndustria l or commercial facilities having equipment that emits pollutants

to the air have always been classified as point sourc es by air quality regulatory programs and are

generally required to have permits issued by the North Carolina Division of Air Quality (DAQ)

and the Mecklenburg County Air Quality (M CA Q ). Airports or rail yards are not required to

have air quality permits for construction and operation as airports or rail yards (although they

could have equipment such as a boiler or generator that requires a permit). They do have fixed

and known locations and their emissions quantities can be comparable to industrial sourc es so,

for purposes of the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) National Emission

Inventory (NEI), they are included in the point source inventory even though t hey are

traditionally considered nonroad sources.

Although both the state and c ounty agencies inventory all the criteria pollutants and a large

number of toxic air pollutants, only the nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds

(VOC) are reported here since they are the precursor pollutants for ozone formation. All

emiss ions are calculated on a ton per summer day basis. The emissions for each source

classification are reported for the 2011 base year representing typical (average) summer day

emissions for the month of July.

The point source inventories detailed in this do cument are for the North Carolina portion of the

Charlotte

– Gastonia

– Salisbury 2008 8

- hour ozone marginal nonattainment area, referred to as the

Charlotte nonattainment area. The Charlotte nonattainment area includes a portion of Cabarrus

,

Gaston

, Iredell, Lincoln

, Rowan

, Union Count ies and all of Mecklenburg County. Only the

facilities determined from their map coordinates to be inside the boundary of the nonattainment

area were summarized and reported.



### 2.0 OVERALL METHODOLOGY

Permitted sources of emissions a re required to periodically submit their emissions inventory to

either the DAQ or MCAQ. All large permitted sources are required to report emissions annually.

Smaller permitted sources are required to submit an emissions inventory every five years.

Additionally, the EPA requires the DAQ and the MCAQ to submit emissions data for large

stationary point sources to them on an annual basis. The latest year available for the point source

inventor y submitted to the EPA is 2011 . For the smaller sources that report emissions every five

years, the most recent emissions inventory available was used and was assumed to be e quivalent

to 2011 emissions since these smaller sources’ emissions do not vary much from year to year

- Gastonia

- Salisbury, 2008 Ozone Marginal Nonattainment Area Appendix B.1

North Carolina Emissions Inventory & Emissions Statement s SIP July 7 , 2014 The emissions data upon which this docu ment is based were fro m files maintained by the DAQ

and the MCAQ.

The EPA developed emission inventories for airports and rail yards as part of the 2011 NEI.

Airport and rail yard emissions reported here were obtained from the 2011 NEI.

2.1 SOURCE IDENT IFICATION

All facilities required to have permits to operate sources of air pollution are known and are

required to submit emission inventories.

The EPA used data from the Federal Aviation Administration to identify airport locations and

develop airport inventories. Rail yard emissions data was developed by growing data from the

2008 NEI. Further information may be found in 2011 National Emissions Inventory, version 1

Technical Support Document which can be downloaded from

http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/net/2011nei/2011_neiv1_tsd_draft.pdf

.

2.2 EMISSION ESTIMATION APPROACH

The documentation of emission s estimat ion methods used for emission inventories is a very

important aspect of the inventory. The documentation is used as basis for quality assurance and

verification of the validity of information submitted on the DAQ forms or via NCDAQ’s internet

based data system. The DAQ documentation titled “Uniform Policy and Documentation

Standards for Emission Estimates” is provided to reporting facilities and the DAQ inventory

reviewers as a guide to support quality inventory development efforts.

The emission inventory information reported to the DAQ and the local county air quality

agen cies was transferred to a state

- developed emissions inventory program that helps ensure

required data elements are not omitted. It also performs some calculations, thereby minimizing

the occurrence of errors. Depending on the particular process and facility, emissions may be

calculated by various means. In many cases, emissions are estimated using emission factors

published in the EPA’s AP

- 42, Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors . In a few cases,

site

- specific emission factors may be used. Sometimes, a mass balance calculati on can be

employed. In some cases, there is direct continuous monitoring of emissions that are reported.

Emissions reported to and maintained by the DAQ or the M CA Q are annual emissions. A

variety of detailed operating data, source configuration, and o ther process parameters are also

reported according to DAQ reporting guidelines. This operational data is used to estimate thePoint Source Documentation 3

- Salisbury, 2008 Ozone Marginal Nonattainment Area Appendix B.1

North Carolina Emissions Inventory & Emissions Statement s SIP July 7 , 2014 average summer weekday emissions. The DAQ provides specific instructions and guidelines for

submitting emissions data to the agen cy via its website.

Rail yard emissions were grown from the 2008 NEI by the EPA. These 2008 emissions were

developed by ERTAC (Eastern Regional Technical Advisory Committee) with data provided by

the railroad companies. Additional information may be found in 2011 National Emissions

Inventory, version 1 Technical Support Document, Documentation for Locomotive Component of

the National Emissions Inventory Methodology, and a memorandum titled Development of 2011

Railroad Component for National Emissions Inven tory. An emissions data report was

downloaded from the EPA Emissions Information System (EIS) web site. The rail yards inside

the nonattainment area were identified and the data summarized.

Airport emissions were developed by the EPA using procedures descr ibed in the document

Development of 2011 Aircraft Component for National Emissions Inventory . In general, if

detailed data for aircraft operations by aircraft type was available, emissions were calculated

with the Emissions and Dispersion Modeling System (EDMS) . Appropriate auxiliary power unit

(APU) emissions and ground support equipment (GSE) emissions for these particular aircraft

types were also calculated. Where only landing and takeoff counts were available for categories

of aircraft (e.g. general av iation), assumptions were made for suitable emission factors to

calculate emissions. A detailed report of aircraft emissions at all airports was obtained and the

airports in the nonattainment area were identified. These data were summarized for presentatio n

in this appendix.



### 3.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE

The emission inventory has undergone a number of quality assurance checks so that it meets the

standards for submitting the annual inventory to the EPA. The state emissions inventory

database program helps insure tha t important data elements are present. Where the program

performs calculations, it helps avoid calculation errors. In addition, since the State began

collecting annual fees for emissions from Title V sources, both the State and the sources are

careful th at the tons

- per

- year emissions reported are accurate.

T he detail quality assurance and quality control procedures and measures , as outlined in the

DAQ ’s Emissions Inventory Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) and approved by the EPA

, were applied to ensu re the d ata meets specific data indicator goals and objectives

### 5.0 DISCUSSION OF INDUSTRIAL POINT SOURCE CATEGORIES

Industrial processes in th e inventory are identified with North American Industry Classification

System (NAICS) . NAICS is the standard used by Federal statistical agencies in classifying

business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data

related to th e U.S. business eco nomy. The following is the 2011 inventory reported by NAICS

code. In general, the first two digits of the NAICS code describe the p rocess and rest of the digits

give more detail as to the fuel used, size of source, etc. The sections tha t follow are grouped by

the first two digits of the NAICS code.

A listing of NAICS code with descriptions may be found in http://www.census.gov/cgi

bin/sssd/naics/naicsrch?chart=2012 . Occasionally, new NAICS are defined so it may be useful to

search the US Census Bureau website for the most up

5.2 U TILITIES

The Utilities sector comprises establishments engaged in the provision of the following utility

services: electric power, natural gas, steam supply, water supply, and sewage removal. Within

this sector, the specific activities associated with the utility services provided vary by utility:

electric power includes generation, transmis sion, and distribution; natural gas includes

distribution; steam supply includes provision and/or distribution; water supply includes treatment

and distribution; and sewage removal includes collection, treatment, and disposal of waste

through sewer systems and sewage treatment facilities.

Industries in the Primary Metal Manufacturing subsector smelt and/or refine ferrous and

nonferrous metals from ore, pig or scrap, using electrometallurgical and other process

metallurgical techniques. Establishments in this subsector also manufacture metal alloys and

super alloys by introducing other chemical elements to pure metals. The output of smelting and

refining, usually in ingot form, is used in rolling, drawing, and extruding operations to make

sheet, strip, bar, rod, or wire, and in molten form to make castings and other basic metal

products.

The Transportation and Warehousing sector includes industries providing transportation of

passengers and cargo, warehousing and storage for goods, scenic and sightseeing transportation,

and support activities related to modes of transportation. Establishments in these industries use

transportation equipment or transportation related facilities as a productive asset. The type of

equipment depends on the mode of transportation. The modes of transportation are air, rail,

water, ro ad, and pipeline.

Industries in the Pipeline Transportation subsector use transmission pipelines to transport

products, such as crude oil, natural gas, refined petroleum products, and slurry. Industries are

identified based on the products transported (i.e ., pipeline transportation of crude oil, natural gas,

refined petroleum products, and other products).Point Source Documentation 23

sectors of the economy. The establishments in this sector specialize in one or more of these

support activities and provide these services to clients in a variety of industries and, in som e

cases, to households. Activities performed include: office administration, hiring and placing of

personnel, document preparation and similar clerical services, solicitatio n, collection, security

5.7 H EALTH CARE AND SOCIAL ASSISTANCE

The Health Care and Social Assistance sector comprises establishments providing health care

and social assistance for individuals. The sector includes both health care and social assistance

because it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the boundaries of these two activities.

The industries in this sector are arranged on a continuum starting with those establishments

providing medical care exclusively, continuing with those providing health care and social

assistance, and finally finishing with those providing only social assistance. The services

provided by establishments in this sector are delivered by trained professionals. All indus tries in

the sector share this commonality of process, namely, labor inputs of health practitioners or

social workers with the requisite expertise. Many of the industries in the sector are defined based

on the educational degree held by the practitioners i ncluded in the industry.

### 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE

Area sources represent a collection of many small, stationary sources of air pollution emissions

within a specified geographical area that individually emit less than the minimum emission

level s prescribed for point sources. Because these sources are too small and/or too numerous to

be surveyed and characterized individually, all area source activities are collectively estimated.

The county is the geographic area for which emissions from area sources are compiled, primarily

because counties are the smalle st areas for which data used for estimating emissions is readily

available.

T he Charlotte

- Gastonia

- Salisbury , N orth C arolina marginal nonattainment area , referred to as

the Charlotte nonattainment area, is comprised of the entire county of Mecklenburg and the

nonattainment portions of Cabarrus, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Rowan and Union Counties

. County

- level emissions for each of the six counties for which a portion of the county is included

in the nonattainment area were estimated using the ratio of the population for the nonattainment

area to the total county population. All emissions are calculated on a ton per summer day basis.

The emissions for each source classification are reported for the 2011 base year representing

typical (average) summer day e missions for the month of July.Area Sources Documentation

2.2 EMISSION ESTIMATION APPROACH

Area source emissions were estimated by multiplying an emission factor by some known

indicator of collective activity for each source category within the inventory area. An indicator

is any parameter associated with the activity level of a source that can be correlated with the air

pollutant emissions from that source, such as production, number of employees or population.

In general, one of the following emissions estimation approaches was used to calculate the area

source emissions: p er capita emission factors, employment

- related emission factors, commodity

consumption

- related emission factors, and level of activity based emission factors. The emission

factors and emissions estimation methods used were obtained from the EIIP Tech. Rep ort , the

EPA’s Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors, 5 th Edition (hereafter referred to as

AP

- 42 )

, or the emissions methods developed by the EPA for the 20 11 National Emissions

Inventory (NEI) , Version 1 . The 2011 NEI methods were based up on the emission factor

development work conducted by the Eastern Regional Technical Advisory Group (ERTAC) in

conjunction with the EPA

.

T he area source emissions were calculated based on the emissions methods developed for the

2011 NEI or the EIIP Tech. Report an d AP

- 42 . The majority of the area source categories were

calculated with the methods outlined by Pechan because they incorporate the most recent

emission factors and activity data available. The remaining area source categories were

calculated using the EIIP Tech. Report and AP

- 42 because these categories were not included as

part of the area source categories updated for the 2011 NEI . The following outlines the area

source categories calculated using the emissions methods developed for the 2011 NEI,

 Asphalt Roofing

 Truck Transit

 Underground Storage Tank Breathing Loss

 Agricultural Pesticide

 Structure Fires

 Vehicle Fires

 Solvent Cleaning and Degreasing

.

There are several methods for estimating the activity level for a specific area source category.

Some of these methods include treating area sources as point sources, surveying local activity

levels, apportioning national or statewide activity totals to l ocal (county or sub

- county) inventory

areas, or using population and employment data. All of these methods were employed to

determine the activity data needed for the various area source categories

.

For some of the area source categories, the 2011 activ ity data were unavailable so the latest

available data were utilized

. For gasoline distribution, aircraft refueling and emulsified asphalt

paving, the activity data used to calculate the emissions for these categories were pur chased by

the EPA for the dev elopment of the 2008 NEI. For the 2011 NEI, the EPA did not update the

activity data for these categories

, therefore, the 2008 NEI was pulled forward for the 2011 NEI.

For agricultural pesticide, the 2007 harvested acres and 2008 pesticide application ac tivity data

were the latest available for the 2011 NEI emissions development. All of the stationary source

solvent evaporation categories, charbroiling and structure fire emissions were calculated with theArea Sources Documentation

sources were projected from the 2007 Southeastern States Air Resources Managers, Inc.

(SESARM) emissions inventory because their emissions we re the best available at the time the

Charlotte nonattainment area source emissions inventory was development.

For certain categories, there can be overlap between the point source s and the area source s,

which can lead to double counting of emissions

. To avoid double counting of emissions

, point

source emissions were identified so they could be subtracted from the applicable area source

emissions

.

There are a number of categories where emissions were calculated with emission factors based

on employment. The latest available countywide employment was obtained from the 2010 US

C ensus Bureau

, County Business Patterns (USCBP) for the various North American Industry

Classification System ( NAICS ) codes at the county level for North Carolina.

Additionally, m any of the categories for the area sour ce emissions use county population or the

rural population portion of the county for the activity data

. In order to calculate the emissions for

these categories, the latest population data available, the 20 10 population

, was obtained from the

US Census Bureau

. The rural portion of the county population was also obtained from the 2010

US census data.

### 3.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE MEASURES

The first step in the quality assurance process is to develop a list of area sources in the

nonattainment area . The Procedures document and the EIIP Tech. Report were the primary

reference s used in preparing th is list for the emissions inventory. T o ensure the accuracy of the

emissions estimates, the area source e missions inventory team followed the quality assurance

measures as outlined in the NC Division of Air Quality (DAQ) Emissions Inventory Quality

Assurance Project Plan (QAPP)

.

Under the direction of the quality assurance coordinator, emission sources whos e contribution

was either at the high

- or low

- end of the range of estimates were scrutinized more closely for

reasonableness. The accuracy was addressed by performing independent checks of the emissions

calculations , verifying the activity data and emission factors as well as plotting all of the area

source categories vs. pollutants

### 4.0 DISCUSSION OF AREA SOURCE CATEGORIES

There are three major a rea source categories comprised of a number of individual types of area

source categories . Sections 4.1 through 4. 3 address each of these categories and include

subsections that correspond to the category . The objective of each subse ction is to describe each

category and the emission estimation and/or projection procedures.

4.1 GASOLINE DISTRIBUTION

The area source emissions attributed to this category are associated with various operations

related to gasoline and aircraft fuel handling and distribution. Since tank farms and bulk plants

are specifically addressed in the point source inve ntory, the area source category is limited to

fuel handling, storage, and distribution operations associated with the service stations and in the

refueling of aircrafts.

4.1.1 Gasoline Dispensing Facilities

Since service stations are so numerous, they are collectively considered as an area source. The

area source emissions that are derived for this subsection involve determining the estimated

emissions that occur at each of the following operations: 1) losses during storage tank filling,

2) storage tank b reathing and working losses and 3 ) truck transit losses. The emissions from

vehicle refueling are captured in the on

- road mobile source emissions inventory (see

Appendix B.3) and are not estimated as part of the area source s inventory.

Delivery to Outle ts

- Stage I Balanced Submerged Filling

Stage I controls capture the displacement of gasoline vapors from the storage tanks during the

transfer of gasoline from tank trucks to storage tanks at the service station. As part of the air

toxics program, Stage I controls for gasoline dispensing facilities was adopted by the State,

effective May 1990 with final compliance by January 1, 1994. Stage I is the vapor recovery

technology on the underground storage tanks and reduces the emissions during the tank fillin g

operations at service stations.

The North Carolina Department of Agriculture, Standards Division is responsible for going to all

gasoline dispensing facilities and testing the fuels to ensure that it meets the qualit y standards of

the State. The DAQ has an agreement with the Standards Division to also check for Stage I

contr ols. A notice is sent to the DAQ for every facility checked by the Standards Division

verifying if a facility has properly maintained control equipment. If a facility is not found t o be

properly maintaini ng the control equipment, the DAQ sends a notice of violation informing the

facility that the controls are required and gives the facility time to correct the violation beforeArea Sources Documentation

- 6 fines are accessed. From this information the rule effec tiveness and rule penetration can be

estimated. The rule effectiveness is the percentage of facilities complying with the rule, whereas

the rule penetration is the percentage of facilities requiring Stage I controls. Control efficiency is

the expected pe rcent reduction from this control technology. The compliance and rule

effectiveness rates for Stage I controls for the Charlotte nonattainment area were obtained from

the Mooresville R egion Stage I vapor recovery reports supplied by the DAQ ’s Mobile Sourc es

Compliance Branch. The control efficiency rate, 0.95, is a conservative estimate used for the

entire State. The Stage I compliance factors are listed in Table 4.1.1

4.1.2 Aircraft Refueling

Like vehicle refueling, aircraft refueling results in VOC emissions

. There are two processes that

generate VOC emissions. Stage I is the displacement of vapors during the transfer of gasoline

from tank trucks to storage tanks and vice versa. The other process is Stage II that involves the

transfer of fuel from the tanker trucks into general aviation aircraft.

For Stage I and Stage II

, the national

- level emissions were calculated by multiplying the

nationwide aviation gasoline (AvGas) consumption by the VOC emission factor s and summing

the emissions. Once the national

- level emissions were calculated, they were allocated to the

Petroleum Administration for Defense (PAD) Districts based on the amount of gasoline reported

for each PAD . The PAD for North Carolina is PAD 1, which comprises 17 states along the

Atlantic Coast. The emissions were then allocated to the county

- level based on the number of

landing s and take offs (LTO s ) for general aviation flights per county. The amount of aviation

gasoline consumed for PAD 1 was obtained from t he US Department of Energy, Energy

Information Administration. The number of 2008 LTO s was obtained from the US Federal

Aviation Administration by the EPA

. The 2011 LTOs were not available for the PAD Districts

or the counties. For th e 2011 emissions estimates, the PAD District LTOs w ere grown from the

2008 PAD District LTOs because that is the latest data available. Since North Carolina is inArea Sources Documentation

was calculated by dividing the 2011 PAD District 1 AvGas con sumption by the 2008 PAD

District 1 AvGas consumption. Th is growth factor w ere applied to the 2008 PAD District 1 LTO

to estimate the 2011 PAD District 1 L TO

. The PAD District 1 growth factor is 1.3349.

The 2 008 LTOs were also used for the Charlotte nonattainment counties because that is the only

data that was available , therefore, it is assumed the LTOs remain constant between 200 8 and

20 11

Portable fuel containers (PFCs, or gas cans) are consumer products used to refuel a wide variety

of gasoline

- powered equipment.

T he EPA has generated emissions for portable fuel containers for 2002

, 2010 , 2015, 2020 and

2030 . The activity data used in the development of the se emission inventories were obtained

from the EPA’s Nonroad Model, which uses a variety of variables like equipment size,

equipment population, equipment age, R eid Vapor Pressure (RVP) and air temperature to

estimate activity. The 2011 PFC emissions were calculated by linear interpolation using the

Microsoft EXCEL FORECAST tool. The base year 2011 emissions were interpolated from the

PFC emissions for 2002, 2010 and 2015.

4.2 STATIONARY SOURCE SOLVENT EVAPORATION

There are eleven subcategories that involve stationary source solvent evaporative emissions.

They include: dry cleaning , graphic arts, solvent cleaning, automotive refinishing, archite ctural

coatings, traffic markings, industrial surface coating, asphalt paving, roofing operations,

pesticide application and consumer/commercial solvent use. The methodology used to calculate

the emissions from these sources are described in detail in eac h subsection.Area Sources Documentation

The VOC emissions from dry cleaning vary with the type of process and the solvent used. For

the most part, dry cleaning facilities (coin

- operated and conventional) are small business entities.

As a re sult of their size, dry cleaning emissions are not captured as point sources. However, dry

cleaning operations can be a significant emission source for VOC emissions, when taken

collectively.

The emissions from dry cleaning are estimated by multiplying the average number o f employees

at dry cleaning establishments by a national per

- employee emission factor, 93 lbs of

VOC/employee/year

. The number of dry cleaning employees per county was obtained from the

2010 USCBP

4.2.2 Graphic Arts/Printing

Graphic arts include operations that are involved in printing of newspapers, magazines, books,

and other printed materials, which can be divided into several subsets based upo n printing

technology. Over the last decade ink

- jet and offset lithography have emerged as the dominant

technologies. The use of oils as ink solvents and the reduction of alcohols in the fountain

solution and in the cleanup solutions have resulted in not able reductions in emissions for offset

lithography. Ink

-

jet printing results in essentially no VOC emissions.

A number of establishments that generate emissions in this source category are in

- house graphic

arts operations at plants that are in non

- prin ting industries. The emission factor of 201 lbs

VOC/ employee /year was used to calculate the VOC emissions. The employment was obtained

Solvent cleaning operations are integral to many businesses and industries and are conducted for

the purpose of removing grease, oils, waxes, carbon deposits, etc. from metals, plastic, or glass

surfaces. Solvent cleaning is usually perfor med prior to painting, plating, inspection, repair,

assembly, etc. The solvents used in the cleaning operations can be either in a liquid or vapor

phase. Generally, these solvents have high vapor pressures which emit VOC emissions.

There are two basic t ypes of solvent cleaning techniques, cold cleaning and vapor cleaning.

Cold cleaning machines use solvents in the liquid phase to clean and remove foreign material

such as oils and grease from the surface of materials. C leaning operations include

sprayin g/flushing solvent or parts agitation, wipe cleaning, brushing, and immersion.

The vapor cleaning technique can be divided into open

- top degreasing and in

- line cleaning. The

open

- top degreasing machines are tanks designed to generate and contain solvent vapor. The

tank is equipped with a heating system that boils the liquid solvent. As the solvent boils, dense

solvent vapors rise and displace the air in the tank. Coolant is circulated in condensing coils on

the top of the tank to create a controlled v apor zone within the tank. Condensing solvent vapors

dissolve the contaminants on the surface of the workload and flush both the dissolved and

undissolved contaminants from the workload.

In

- line cleaning machines employ automated loading on a continuous basis. These machines are

often custom made for large

- scale operations. A continuous or multiple

- batch loading system

greatly reduces or even eliminates the manual parts handling associated with batch cleaning. In

line cleaning machines are enclosed to prevent solvent losses; however, entry and exit openings

cannot be sealed.

The VOC emissions for this category are estimated by using per employee factors

. The emission

factor for degreasing is 36.965 VOC/employee/year

.

Employment data was derived from the 2010 USCBP

. The following table shows the 2010

employment per county for degreasing

4.2.7 Industrial Surface Coating

Surface coating operations involve applying a thin layer of coating (e.g. paint, lacquer, enamel,

varnish, etc.) to the surface of an object for decorative or pro tective purposes. The coating

products, which are solvent based, emit VOC emissions as the result of solvent evaporation

during the drying or curing process.

T wo of the industrial surface coating subcategories, industrial maintenance coatings and other

s pecial purpose coatings, utilize per capita emission factors instead of per employment emission

factors

. For industrial maintenance coatings and other special purpose coating emissions

calculation, the population used is shown in Table 2.2

- 1.

The employ ment used for the remaining subcategories is shown in Table 4.2.7

4.2.8 Emulsified Asphalt Paving

Asphalt paving is the process of applying asphalt concrete to seal or repair the surface of roads,

parking lots, driveways, walkways or airport runways. A sphalt concrete is a composite mate rial

comprised of a binder and a mineral aggregate. The binder, referred to as asphalt cement, is a

byproduct of petroleum refining and contains the semi

- solid residual material left after the more

volatile chemical fractions have been distilled off.

Asph alt cements are thinned with water and an emulsifying agent known as emulsified asphalts.

Th e thinning reduces the viscosity of the asphalt making it easier to work with the mixture. The

primary uses of emulsified asphalt include tack and seal operations , priming roadbeds and paving

operations for pavements up to several inches thick.

Emulsified asphalt may contain up to 12 % organic solvents by volume. Emissions from

emulsified asphalt result from the evaporation of VOCs after the mixture is laid down.

The asphalt usage factor , used to convert tons of asphalt to barrels of asphalt, is shown in

E quation 4.2.8

- 1.

Asphalt Usage Factor = (tons of asphalt * 2000 lbs / 8.34 lbs/gal) / 42 gal/barrel *

4.2. 9 Agricultural Pesticide Application s

Pesticides broadly include any substance used to kill or retard the growth of insects, rodents,

fungi, weeds or microorganisms. Formulations of organic pesticides are commonly made by

combining synthetic materials with various petroleum products. The petroleum products, or inert

ingredients, act as a carrier of the active component and usually evaporate into the atmosphere.

Agricultural pesticides are applied in various manners, which directly affect the possible

emissi ons associated with the application, regardless of the amount of solvent contained in the

pesticide. There are basically three types of pesticide/herbicide application methods. One is the

"incorporated" type, in which the product is applied and immediate ly incorporated into the soil.

It is expected that little

, if any

, evaporation of solvent occur s in this type of application. The

next type, "pre

- emergence", is where the product is put on the ground immediately after the crop

is planted. This provides a protective layer. Some evaporation of solvent would be expected

with this type of application. The largest emissions would occur from "over the top" application

of pesticides. These pesticides are sprayed directly on the foliage to kill weeds or insect s. This

application would provide an opportunity for a great deal of solvent to evaporate.

The individual crop profiles outline the current agricultural pesticide practices, i.e.

, the pesticide

agents (insecticides, herbicides, fungicides), the percentage of acres treated and the pounds of

active ingredient pesticide applied per acre. The crop profiles often report the application of the

active ingredient (pounds of active ingredient p er acre) as a range of values.Area Sources Documentation

Other man made area sources include forest fires, slash burning and prescribed burning,

agricultural burning, structure fires and vehicle fires . Some of these sources, such as orch ard

heaters and certain kinds of agricultural burning, are not active during the ozone season. The

methodology used to calculate the emissions from these sources are described in detail in each

subsection.

4. 3 .2 Structure Fires

The structure fires category is based on both residential and non

- residential structures. The U.S.

Fire Administration (USFA) maintains statistics on the number of national residential and non

residential fires. A fire per person factor was calculated for the residential structures based on

the nati onal number of residential fires divided by the national population for 20 11. A fire per

employee factor was also calculated for the non

- residential structures based on the national

number of non

- residential fires divided by the national employment for 20 11

. Both the US

population and employment were obtained from the US Census Bureau. The US residential fires

totaled 364,500 and the non

- residential fires totaled 85,400. The US population was

311,591,917 and the US employment was 113,425,965. Therefore , the fire per person factor for

residential structures is 0.0012 and the fire per employee factor for non

- residential structures is

0.0008. The structure fires emissions were allocated to the county level by the county population

and employment. The 20 1 0 county population and employment w ere obtained from the US

Census Bureau

. The fire per person factor for residential structures was applied to the 20 10

county population to determine the number of residential structure fires per county.

Additionally, a fire per employee factor for non

- residential structures was applied to the 20 10

total county employment to determine the non

- residential structure fires per county. To

determine the total emissions from structure fires, the sum of the residential and non

- residential

structure fires were totaled for each county. The county population , shown in Table 2.2

- 1 , was

used to estimate the emissions for the residential portion and t he county employment

, shown in

Table 4. 3 .2

- 1 , was used to estimate the emissions for the non

- residential portion. The estimates

of the residential and nonresidential portions were summed to obtain the total emissions for the

structure fires.Area Sources Documentation

. 4 Open Burning

– Land Clearing and Yard Trimmings

Open burning of land clearing debris is the purposeful burning of debris, such as trees, shrubs,

and brush, from the clearing of land for the construction of new buildings and highways. Open

burning of yard waste is the purposeful burning of leaf and brush species in outdoor areas.

Land Clearing

The amount of material burned was estimated using the county

- level total number of acres

disturbed by residential, non

- residential, and road construction. The acres disturbed reflect

different years due to the latest availability of data from the various sources used to obtain the

data. County

- level weighted loading factors were applied to the total number of construction

acres to convert acres to tons of available fuel. Counties that were more than 80% urban were

assumed not to practice any open burning. Emission f actors were developed by the EPA in

consultation with the ERTAC and based primarily on the AP

- 42 report. The NOx emission

factor is 5 lbs/ton and the VOC emission factor is 11.6 lbs/ton.

Yard Waste

According to the EPA report, Municipal Solid Waste Generation, Recycling, and Disposal in the

United States: Facts and Figures for 2010

, residential waste generation accounts for 55

- 65

percent of the total waste from the residential and commercial sectors. For the cal culation of per

capita yard waste subject to burning, the median value of 60 percent was assumed. This

information was used to calculate a daily estimate of the per capita yard waste of 0.36

lbs/person/day. Of the total amount of yard waste generated, th e yard waste composition was

assumed to be 25 percent leaves, 25 percent brush, and 50 percent grass by weight.

Open burning of grass clippings is not typically practiced by homeowners, and as such only

estimates for leaf burning and brush burning were d eveloped. Approximately 25 to 32 percent of

all waste that is subject to open burning is actually burned. A median value of 28 percent is

assumed to be burned in all counties in the United States. Table 4.3. 4

Since it is illegal to burn within the corporate city limits, only the rural p ortion of the p opulation

was used in the emissions calculations . The rural population was calculated by applying the

20 1 0 census rural population percentage to the total 20 10 county population as shown in

Table 2.2

- 2

.

Controls for yard waste burning are generally in the form of a ban on open burning of waste in a

given municipality or county. Counties that were more than 80% urban were assumed not to

practice any open burning. Therefore, criteria pollutant emissions f rom residential yard waste

burning are zero in these counties.

Emission factors for were developed by the EPA in con sultation with the ERTAC

. The VOC

emission factor is 28 lbs/ton burned and the NOx emission factor is 6.2 lbs/ton burned.

The base year e missions were calculated using Equation 4. 3

Point sources are those stationary sources that require an air permit to operate. In general, these

sources have a potential to emit threshold of 5 tons per year or greater of CO, NO

x , PM, SO 2

and/or VOC from a single facility. Point sources that meet this criterion are accounted for in the

point source emissions inventory. The 20 1 1 point source emissions data was subtracted from the

This source subcategory covers burning practices used to clear and/or prepare land for planting.

These operations include stubble burning, burning or agricultural crop residues, and the burning

of stand field crops as part of harvesting (e.g., wheat ). According to the North Carolina

Department of Agriculture, when soybeans are double cropped with wheat, the wheat stubble is

usually burned back after harvest about one fourth of the time. According to Dr. J. Dunphy, a

soybean specialist at North Caro lina State University, the acres of soybean double cropped with

wheat in North Carolina is approximately equal to the acres of wheat planted. Therefore, 1⁄4 ofArea Sources Documentation

practic es in North Carolina.

The fuel loading and emission factors were obtained from the SESARM Report, Development of

the 2007 Base Year and Typical Year Fire Emission Inventory for the Southeastern States Air

Resources Managers Inc . The fuel loading factor is 1.9 tons of fuel consumed per acre burned

,

the VOC emission factor is 9.22 lbs/ton and the NOx emission factor is 4.48 lbs/ton

.

According to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture, field burning occurs only during

June and July , t herefore, the dai ly emissions for agricultural burning were calculated by dividing

the annual emissions by 61 days. No seasonal adjustment is needed since all of the burning

occurs during the ozone season.

The number of acres of wheat planted was obtained from the North Carolina Agriculture Statistic

Division and is tabulated in Table 4. 3

### 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE

This appendix describes the procedures used to develop the inventor ies of NOx and VOC

emissions from o n

- road mobile source s , which comprise nearly half of the total man

- made NOx

and VOC emissions for this area

.



### 2.0 OVERALL METHODOLOGY

2.1 EMISSION ESTIMATION APPROACH

Inventories of NOx and VOC emissions from on

- road mobile sources we re developed using the

MO tor V ehicle E missions S imulator (MOVES ) model

, the United States Environmental

Protection Agenc y’s ( EPA’s ) current official model for estimating air pollution emissions from

on

- road vehicles. MOVES2010b, the latest version of MOVES (released April 2012), was used

for all modeling runs. All model input data development and modeling runs were conducte d

according to the methods and procedures outlined in the EPA documents : Emissions Inventory

Guidance for Implementation of Ozone and Particulate Matter National Ambient Air Quality

Standards (NAAQS) and Regional Haze Regulations ( EP A

- 454/R

- 05

- 001. August 2005, updated

November 2005 )

, Policy Guidance on the Use of MOVES2010 for State Implementation Plan

Development, Transportation Conformity, and Other Purposes ( EPA

- 420

- B

- 09

- 046, December

2009), and Technical Guidance on the Use of MOVES2010 for Emission Inventory Preparation

in State Implementation Plans and Transportation Conformity ( EPA

- 420

- B

- 10

- 023, April 2010).

Daily inventories were developed to represent the estimated on

- road NOx and VOC emissions

for a typical summer day, specifically a July 2011 weekday. First, MOVES modeling runs were

executed to generate county

- level emissions inventories for the seven Charlotte nonattainment

area counties . These modeling runs used the MOVES input databases o riginally developed for

the 2011 National Emissions Inventory (NEI)

, V ersion 1

. Inventories for each of the six partial

county areas were then calculated by scaling the county

- wide inventory values by the fraction of

the county human population within the nonattainment area portion of the county



### 3.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE MEASURES

The quality assurance (QA) for the on

- road mobile source category is broken into two

components: 1) input files and 2) MOVES outputs/summaries. Each of these components is

det ailed in the paragraphs below.

S peed and vehicle miles traveled ( VMT ) data sets for the areas to be modeled (typically county

level data) are acquired from the transportation partners responsible for the travel demand modelOn

- Gastonia

- Salisbury, 2008 Ozone Marginal Nonattainment Area Appendix B.3

North Carolina Emissions Inventory & Emissions Statement s SIP Ju ly 7

, 2014 (TDM) output

. T he speed information for each modeled area is checked for reasonableness

against previous sets of speeds for that area . Once the speeds are deemed reasonable, the North

Carolina Division of Air Quality ( DAQ ) enters the speed information into MOVES input fi les.

In addition to the speed information, the user enters data to characterize local meteorology, fleet

and activity information (e.g., VMT) . All input files are checked against a “key” with the

original source of the information. This QA step is alway s performed by a person other than the

one who generated the files. If any discrepancies are found, they are noted back to the person

who generated the input files for correction. Additionally, a report is kept that identifies the

person who produced the input file, the person that QA’d the file, and where the data originated.

Once the input files have passed through the QA procedure, MOVES is run to generate

emissions data which is then compiled and summarized as needed

. The MOVES output data and

corre sponding summaries are checked for reasonableness by comparison to historical data. The

accuracy and completeness of the summarized data are independently verified by a person other

than the one who created the summaries.



### 4.0 DISCUSSION OF ON

- ROAD MOBILE SOUR CE S

On

- road mobile sources produce the ozone precursor pollutants NOx and VOC, along with a

host of other pollutants. This e missions inventory specifically focuses o n these two pollutants.

The objective of the following section is to describe the source c ategory, the input files, and the

emissions estimation procedures

.

4.1 INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE

On

- road mobile sources are defined as those vehicles that travel on public roadways. Emissions

from motor vehicles occur throughout the day while the vehicle s are in motion, at idle, parked,

and during refueling. All of these emissions processes are estimated in order to properly reflect

the total emissions from this source category.

A very important component of the highway mobile emission estimation proce ss is interagency

consultation. The primary transpor t ation partners in volved in the Charlotte nonattainment area

interagency consultation process included: NCDOT, EPA, Federal Highway Administration

(FHWA), Cabarrus

- Rowan M unicipal P lanning O rganization ( CR MPO )

(MCAQ). Specifically

, MUMPO perform ed travel demand mode ling (TDM) for the area and

provide d speeds and VMT

. The DAQ consulted with the transportation partners for the

appropriate speeds and VMT to use to develop these inventories

. The NCDOT provided vehicle

registration data and vehicle mix data for all Charlotte nonattainment area counties

.

4.2 MOVES INPUT ASSUMPTIONS

All input data for MOVES modeling is first compiled into county

- level MySQL databases which

include separate tables for each type of input data needed. Output data from MOVES modeling

runs are also created as MySQL databases. Due to the ir size and complexity

, the MOVES input

and output database files are provided electronically.

4.2.1 Speed Assumptions

Vehicle power, speed, and acceleration have a significant e ffect on vehicle emissions. The

MOVES model allocates those emission effects by assigning activity to specific drive cycles or

operating mode distributions. The distribution of vehicle hours traveled (VHT) by average speed

was used to determine an appropriate operating mode distribu tion. The Average Speed

Distribution importer in MOVES calls for a speed distribution in VHT in 16 speed bins, by each

road type, source type, and hour of the day included in the analysis. The methodology used to

develop the average speed distribution in puts is documented below.

The speeds were generated from the region ’ s TDM for years 2010 and 2013 with speed data

provided for the following four time periods during the day : AM Peak, Midday, PM Peak and

Night

. The 2011 s peeds were interpolated based on 2010 and 2013 data

. Table 4.2 .1 provide s a

summary of the speeds in miles per hour (mph) for the Charlotte nonattainment area. The

column headings in these tables represent the road types used in the modeling and are listed

below.

MOVES uses four different road type categories that are affected by the average speed

distribution input: rural restricted access, rural unrestricted access, urban restricted access, and

urban unrestricted access (these road types are discussed in more detail in Section 4.2.6) . In

MOVES, local roadways are included with arterials and collectors in the urban and rural

unrestricted access roads category. T he EPA recommends that the average speed distribution forOn

- road Mobile Sources Documentation 5

- Salisbury, 2008 Ozone Marginal Nonattainment Area Appendix B.3

North Carolina Emissions Inventory & Emissions Statement s SIP Ju ly 7

, 2014 local roadway activity be included as part of a weighted distribution of average speed across all

unrestricted roads along with the distribution of average speeds for arterials and connectors

.

When only a single average speed is available for a specific road type and that average speed is

not identical to the average speed in a particular speed bin, MOVES guidance stipulates that

users should apply the following formula for creating the appropriate speed distribution among

two adjacent speed bins.

The general formula is:

VHT Fraction A in Speed Bin with closest average speed lower than observed average speed +

VHT Fraction B in Speed Bin with closest average speed higher that observed average speed = 1

VHT Fraction A (low bin) = 1

– [(observed average speed

– average speed of lower speed bin) /

(average speed of higher speed bin

– average speed of lower speed bin)]

VHT Fraction B (high bin) = 1

- [(average speed of higher speed bin

– observed average speed) /

(average speed of higher speed bin

– average speed of lower speed bin)]

The following is an example of applying the above equations. If the single average speed for a

roadway is 58 mile s per hour, the average speed distribution will be split between the 55 and 60

mph speed bins. The appropriate VHT fractions are found with the following equations:

VHT fraction A (low bin) = 1

– [(58 mph Avg. Speed

– 55 mph (Bin Speed)) / (60 mph (Bin Spe ed)

– 55 mph (Bin Speed)] = 0.4

VHT fraction B (high bin) = 1

– [(60 mph (Bin Speed)

– 58 mph Avg. Speed) / (60 mph (Bin Speed)

– 55 mph (Bin Speed)] = 0.6

VHT Fraction A (low bin) + VHT Fraction B (high bin) = 1

0.4 + 0.6 = 1

As stated above, MOVES uses only four different roadway types: rural restricted access, rural

unrestricted access, urban restricted access

, and urban unrestricted access. This means that theOn

- road Mobile Sources Documentation 6

Charlotte

- Gastonia

- Salisbury, 2008 Ozone Marginal Nonattainment Area Appendix B.3

North Carolina Emissions Inventory & Emissions Statement s SIP Ju ly 7

, 2014 speeds for multiple roadway types need to be combined into the appropriate speed bins. To

c reate the speed bin fractions for combined roadways the VMT for each road way is used to

weight the speed bin fraction. For example, below are speeds and VMT for urban restricted

access road types:

Road type Speed

(miles/hour) VMT

(hourly miles)

Urban Interstate 63 250,000

Urban Freeway 56 100,000

The first step is to determine the speed bin fractions for each road type separately. For the urban

interstate road type, the speed 63 is split between the MOVES speed bins of 60 and 65 as

described above, which results in the VHT fractions of 0.4 and 0.6 for speed bins 60 and 65,

respectively. Similarly, the speed for the urban freeway road type (56 miles/hour) is split

between the MOVES speed bins of 55 and 60 and results in the VHT fractions of 0.8 and 0.2,

respectively.

The next step requires road ty pe VMT to weigh the VHT f ractions so that the final MOVES

speed bin fractions can be developed. The VHT f raction s , specific to the road type and speed

bin, are multiplied by the corresponding hourly VMT. These hourly totals are divided by the

total VMT f

or that hour for the road type category (in this example, urban restricted access

includes urban interstate and urban freeway). The following equation is used to calculate the

combined speed bin fractions:

( ) [ ∑ ( ( ) ( ) ) ] [ ∑

( ) ]

Where:

RT = the HPMS road type

In this example, the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) road types are urban

interstate (UI) and urban freeway (UF) and the speed bins are 55, 60 and 65. The table below

summarizes the speed bin fractions for this example.

HPMS Road Type Speed Bin 55 Speed Bin 60 Speed Bin 65

- Salisbury, 2008 Ozone Marginal Nonattainment Area Appendix B.3

North Carolina Emissions Inventory & Emissions Statement s SIP Ju ly 7

, 2014 Using the equation below, the final MOVES speed bin fractions are calculated for the urban

restricted access road type.

VHT (Speed Bin X) = [(VHT Fraction (UI) * hourly VMT (UI) ) + (VHT Fraction (UF) * hourly VMT (UF) )]

(hourly VMT (UI) + hourly VMT (UF) )

VHT (Speed Bin 55) = [(0.0 * 250,000) + (0.8 * 100,000)]

(250,000 + 100,000)

VHT (Speed Bin 55) = 0.2286

VHT (Speed Bin 60) = [(0.4 * 250,000) + (0.2 * 100,000)]

(250,000 + 100,000)

VHT (Speed Bin 60) = 0.3428

VHT (Speed Bin 65) = [(0.6 * 250,000) + (0.0 * 100,000)]

(250,000 + 100,000)

VHT (Speed Bin 65) = 0.4286

The sum of the VHT fractions for all speed bins within a road type category must add up to 1.0.

The hourly VHT fractions by speed bin and road type are then processed through a MOVES

supplied converter to develop the speed dist ribution file by hour and road type.

4.2.2 Vehicle Age Distribution

The age distribution of vehicle fleets can vary significantly from area to area. Fleets with a

higher percentage of older vehicles will have higher emissions for two reasons. Older vehicles

have typically been driven more miles and have experienced more deterioration in emission

control systems. A dditionally, a higher percen tage of older vehicles imply there are more

vehicles in the fleet that do not meet newer, more stringent emissions standards. S urveys of

registration data indicate considerable local variability in vehicle age distributions.

For SIP and conformity purposes, the EPA recommends and encourages states to develop local

age distributions. A typical vehicle fleet includes a mix of vehicles of different ages. MOVES

covers a 31 year range of vehicle ages, with vehicles 30 years and older grouped together. The

MOVES model allows the user to specify the fraction of vehicles in each of 30 vehic le ages for

each of the 13 source types in the model.On

- road Mobile Sources Documentation 8

Charlotte

- Gastonia

- Salisbury, 2008 Ozone Marginal Nonattainment Area Appendix B.3

North Carolina Emissions Inventory & Emissions Statement s SIP Ju ly 7

, 2014 Local age distributions can be estimated from local vehicle registration data. The v ehicle age

distribution comes from annual registration data from NCDOT . For this analysis, NCDOT

provided county

- lev el vehicle age data which included the number of registered vehicles by

model year for the years 1974 through 2011, along with the total number of vehicles from model

year 1973 and earlier. Since MOVES categorizes the vehicle fleet into different vehicle c lasses

and more model years, EPA has created data converters that take registration distribution input

files created for MOBILE6.2 and converts them to the appropriate age distribution input tables

for MOVES. Vehicles greater than 25 years old were combin ed and included as the 25 th model

year. The vehicle count information is provided for nine vehicle types; light duty gas vehicles

(LDGV), light duty diesel vehicles (LDDV), light duty gas trucks 1 (LDGT1), light duty gas

trucks 2 (LDGT2), light duty diese l trucks 1 (LDDT1), light duty diesel trucks 2 (LDDT2),

heavy duty gas vehicles (HDGV), heavy duty diesel vehicles (HDDV) and motorcycles (MC).

LDDT1 and LDDT2 are combined and labeled as light duty diesel trucks (LDDT).

4.2.3 Vehicle Mix Assumptions

Ve hicle mix or VMT mix is used by MOVES to convert annual VMT to VMT by HPMS class,

VMT fractions by hour, and VMT by road type distribution. The vehicle mix is developed by the

same method used in MOBILE6.2, as outlined below. The resulting file is used in a MOVES

supplied converter to develop the VMT by HPMS class, VMT fractions by hour, and VMT by

road type distribution.

The vehicle mix refers to the percentage of different vehicle types on each of the 12 FHWA road

types. These road types are listed ab ove in section 4.2.1. It is critical for estimating on

- road

mobile emissions in an area to use data that accurately reflects the vehicles types traveling on

each of these different road types.

T he EPA guidance document Technical Guidance on the Use of MOBILE6.2 for Emission

Inventory Preparation ( EPA420

- Road Vehicle Equipment

The Vehicles/Equipment menu item and panel is used to specify the vehicle types that are

included in the MOVES run. MOVES allows the user to select from among 13 “source use

types” (the terminology that MOVES uses to describe vehicle types), and four different fuel

types (gasoline, diesel, compressed natural gas (CNG), and electricity).

U sers must select the appropriate fuel and vehicle type combinations in the On Road Vehicle

Equipment panel to reflect the full range of vehicles that will operate in the county. In general,

users should simply select all valid diesel, gasoline, and CNG (o nly transit buses) vehicle and

fuel combinations, unless data is available showing that some vehicles or fuels are not used in

the area of analysis.

4.2.6 Road Type

The Road Type Panel is used to define the types of roads that are included in the run. MOVES

define five different Road Types:

 Off

- Network (road type 1)

– all locations where the predominant activity is vehicle starts,

parking and idling (parking lots, truck stops, rest areas, freight or bus terminals)

 Rural Restricted Access (2)

– rural h ighways that can only be accessed by an on

- ramp

 Rural Unrestricted Access (3)

– all other rural roads (arterials, connectors, and local

streets)

 Urban Restricted Access (4)

– urban highways or freeways that can only be accessed by

an on

- ramp

 Urban Unres tricted Access (5)

– all other urban roads (arterials, connectors, and local

streets)

Users should select the road types present in the area being analyzed. The determination of rural

or urban road types should be based on the HPMS classification of the r oads in the county being

analyzed.

- type

p opulation input, which is described in Section 4.2.9 of this document. Some evaporative

emissions are estimated on roadways (i.e., road types 2, 3, 4, and 5) to account for evaporative

emissions that occur when vehicles are driving. All roads types are automatically selected when

Refueling emission processes are selected.

MOVES uses Road T ype to assign default drive cycles to activity on road types 2, 3, 4, and 5.

For example, for unrestricted access road types, MOVES uses drive cycles that assume stop and

go driving, including multiple accelerations, decelerations, and short periods of idl ing. For

restricted access road types, MOVES uses drive cycles that include a higher fraction of cruise

activity with less time spent accelerating or idling, although some ramp activity is also included.

4.2.7 Pollutants and Processes

In MOVES, pollutant refers to particular types of pollutants or precurs ors of the pollutant, such

as NOx or VOCs , while process refers to the mechanism by which emissions are created, such as

running exhaust or start exhaust. Users must select all processes associated with a particular

pollutant in order to account for all emissions of that pollutant. For example, there are 11

separate pollutant processes in MOVES for VOC, i.e. hydrocarbon emissions; all 11 must be

selected wh en estimating VOC emissions. For this inventory the pollutants under consideration

were NOx and VOC

.

4.2.8 Temperature and Relative Humidity Assumptions

Local temperature and humidity data are required inputs for MOVES. Ambient temperature is a

key fact or in estimating emission rates for on

- road vehicles with substantial effects on most

pollutant processes. Relative humidity is also important for estimating NOx emissions from

motor vehicles. The MOVES model requires a temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit ) and relative

humidity (in percent, 0 to 100 scale) for each hour selected in the Run Spec. For example,

MOVES requires a 24

- hour temperature and humidity profile to model a full day of emissions on

an hourly basis. For mobile source emission estimates, the DAQ used 201 1 month ly averages

for the 24

- hour temperature and relative humidity profile s from the Charlotte

- Douglas

International Airport ( KCLT )

. Data were obtained from the North Carolina State Climate

Retrieval and Observations Network of the Southeast Database (CRONOS). The temperature

and relative humidity profiles as presented in the M OVES input files are listed in S ection 5. 2

North Carolina Emissions Inventory & Emissions Statements SIP Ju ly 7 , 2014 4.2.9 Source

- Type Population

Source

- type ( i.e., vehicle type) population is used by MOVES to calculate start and evaporative

emissions. In MOVES, start and resting evaporative emissions are related to the population of

vehicles in an area. Since vehicle type population directly determines start and evaporative

emission, users must develop local data for this input.

MOVES uses a vehicle classification system based on the way vehicles are classified in the

Federal Highway Administration’s HPMS rather than on the way they are classified in the EPA

emissions regulations; thus making it easier for users to develop local data for MOVES. The

MOVES model categorizes vehicles into 13 source types, which are subsets of 6 HPMS vehicle

types in MOVES, as shown in the crosswalk in Table 4.2.9

- 1

. The EPA be lieves that states

should be able to develop populatio n data for many of these source

- type categories from state

motor vehicle registration data (e.g., motorcycles, passenger cars, passenger trucks, light

commercial trucks) and from local transit agencies, school districts, bus companies, and refuse

haulers (intercity, transit, and school buses, and refuse trucks). The NCDOT supplied the DAQ

with source population data as described in the following section.

– Local Data

The MOVES model uses allocation factors to distribute emissions and activity (such as vehicle

lieu of MOVES default values

. The use of local data is the preferred method since MO VESOn

North Carolina Emissions Inventory & Emissions Statements SIP Ju ly 7 , 2014 default allocation factors are derived from VMT and vehicle populations allocated to counties

are proportional to the VMT being allocated to that county. The DAQ corresponded with the

EPA O ffice of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ) to arrive at an acceptable method to

develop current and future year source

- type populations based on the local vehicle registration

data available from NCDOT

. The DAQ believes that using MOVES default vehicle population

fraction s is the best method of allocating state

- specific county level vehicle registration data to

the specific vehicle source types.

MOVES uses 13 source

- type categori es which are subsets of 6 HPMS vehicle types. Presently

DAQ is unable to develo p county source

- type populatio n data for many of these source

- type

categories based on how NCDOT collect s vehicle registration data. The latest vehicle

registration data broken down by county and towns is available by January of each year. Since

the vehicle type database available from NCDOT differs from wha t MOVES2010 a expects, the

DAQ relies on MOVES default fractions and appl ies these fractions to county total vehicle

population

, minus trailers. It is assumed that trailers do not have engines and do not generate

VMT.

4.2.10 Vehicle Inspection and Maintena nce Program Assumptions

In 2002, North Carolina implemented a new vehicle emissions inspection program referred to as

onboard diagnostics (OBDII). This program covers all light duty gasoline powered vehicles that

are model year 1996 and newer. The progra m was initially implemented in 9 counties and was

expanded to include a total of 48 counties between July 2002 and January 2006. Cabarrus,

Gaston, Mecklenburg and Union Counties were phased in July 2002

, Iredell a nd Rowan were

phased

- in July 1, 2003 and L incoln was phased in January 2004

.

Inspection and maintenance ( I/M ) programs continue to be important local control programs in

many nonattainment areas. The MOVES model includes the capability of modeling all the

aspects of an I/M program that have a significant impact on vehicle emissions. The EPA

recommends that users modeling an existing I/M program in MOVES begin by examining the

default I/M program description incl uded in MOVES for the particular county in question. The

DAQ modified the default data in MOVES to reflect county specific compliance factors.

4.2.11 Reid Vapor Pressure and Fuel Assumptions

In general, users should first review the MOVES default fuel for mulation and fuel supply data,

and then make changes only where local volumetric fuel property information is available. The

only exception to this guidance is in the case of Reid Vapor Pressure ( RVP ) where a user shouldOn

- road Mobile Sources Documentation 17

Charlotte

- Gastonia

- Salisbury, 2008 Ozone Marginal Nonattainment Area Appendix B.3

North Carolina Emissions Inventory & Emissions Statements SIP Ju ly 7 , 2014 change the value to reflect the re gulatory requirements and differences between ethanol

- and

non

- ethanol blended gasoline fuel s . The current version of MOVES does not allow the user to

create new fuel identification numbers. Thus, per current EPA guidance, the DAQ edited the

default fuel supply tables for the individual counties to reflect the county

- specific monthly RVP

data.

The RVP reflects a gasoline’s volatility. Lower RVP leads to lower VOC emissions from

gasoline handling and lowers vapor losses from motor vehicles. Gasoline with a n RVP of 7.8

pounds per square inch (psi) is required to be used during May through September for Gaston

and Mecklenburg Counties. Gasoline with an RVP of 9.0 psi is sold in Cabarrus, Iredell,

Lincoln, Rowan and Union Counties year round

.

4.2.12 Diesel Sulfur Content Assumptions

The diesel fuel sulfur content for conventional diesel fuel is required in MO VES to generate fine

particulate matter emission factors because the amount of sulfur in diesel fuel directly correlates

to sulfate particulate emissio ns. T he EPA recommends a diesel fuel sulfur content of 43 parts

per million (ppm) for the period June 2006

- May 2010 and 11 ppm for June 2010

- 2015. The

default fuel sulfur content (11 ppm) for conventional diesel fuel in MOVES was used for this

analysis

.

4.2.13 VMT Assumptions

As input, MOVES requires annual VMT by HPMS vehicle class. The EPA has created a tool

that allows users to input average annual daily VMT as well as monthly and weekend day

adjustment factors to create the annual VMT by HPMS class a nd appropriate monthly and daily

adjustments needed by MOVES. The EPA has also created a set of software tools that can

import VMT tables by MOBILE6.2 vehicle types (either 8, 12, 16, or 28 MOBILE6.2 vehicle

types) and facility types, as well as MOBILE6.2 hourly VMT fractions, VMT mix, and ramp

fractions and convert these to the equivalent MOVES tables of VMT by HPMS class, VMT

fractions by hour, and road type distribution. Mapping MOBILE6.2 vehicle types to their

equivalent MOVES source types is a comple x process. The EPA strongly encourages states to

use the converter tools to create the appropriate MOVES input tables from MOBILE6.2 data to

avoid errors.

The VMT data were provided for each year and each time period (i.e., AM Peak, Midday, PM

Peak, and Night). Table 4.2.13

### 1. INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE

Nonroad mobile sources are equipment that can move but are not licensed to use public roads

and highways. The nonroad mobile source category includes a diverse collection of equipment

such as lawn mowers, chain saws, tractors, all terrain vehicles, forkli fts, and construction

equipment. The majority of the emissions from this equipment are calculated using the

NONROAD2008a model developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA). This category also includes aircraft, railroad locomotives, and commercial marine

vessels. No commercial marine vessels operate in Cabarrus, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln,

Mecklenburg, Rowan, or Union counties so none are reported. Aircraft emissions, traditionally a

nonroad category, are reported as point sources (see Appendix B. 1) in keeping with the EPA

practice for the National Emissions Inventory (NEI) where they are reported to occur at the

locations of the airports where they are generated

. Emissions from railroad locomotives

operating at rail yards are now also reported as point sources since they occur at a fixed location

(see Appendix B.1)

.

For this Charlotte marginal ozone nonattainment area inventory, emissions of oxides of nitrogen

(NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC ) are reported for the base year of 2011. Reported

values developed from NONROAD2008a data are stated in tons per July day. Emissions from

railroads are stated in tons per day. All emissions reported here from the 2011 NEI version 1.

### 2.2 EMISSION ESTIMATION APPROACH

For this inventory, the starting point was version 1 of the 2011 NEI. Reports of emissions for

railroads (including rail yards) and aircraft at airports were downloaded from the NEI at theNonroad Source Documentation 2

Charlotte

- Gastonia

- Salisbury, 2008 Ozone Marginal Nonattainment Area Appendix B.4

North Carolina Emissions Inventory & Emissions Statement s SIP Ju ly 7 , 2014 EPA’s Emission Inventory System Gateway (EIS Gateway). The North Carolina NONROAD

model output was obtained from a n EPA file transfer protocol ( FTP ) site

( ftp://ftp.epa.gov/EmisInventory/2011v6/v1platform/2011emissions/ nonroad_by_state/ ).

Since airports and railyards have a fixed location their map coordinates were use d to determine if

they are inside or outside the partial count y nonattainment areas. Those inside the nonattainment

areas were then summarized at the county level and the values reported in the point emissions

inventory (see Appendix B.1)

.

Emissions for the NONROAD model equipment categories and for railroad locomoti ve

emissions on railroad tracks (i.e. other than rail yards) were obtained at the county level. Since

parts of all but one of the nonattainment counties are classified as attainment, the population

fraction that is in the nonattainment part of the county w as used to determine the emissions for

the nonattainment part. More information about the population fractions may be found in the

narrative.

The 2011 N

ational E mission I nventory, version 1 Technical Support Document

, found at

http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/net/2011inventory.html#inventorydoc

, should be consulted for

additional information about inventory development.



### 3. QUALITY ASSURANCE MEASURES

Sin ce the nonroad inventory emissions originated from the EPA’s 2011 NEI version 1 , they were

developed with the NEI quality assurance measures. Documentation of the EPA’s quality

assurance measures and additional information about the 2011 NEI may be found a t

http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/net/2011inventory.html#inventorydoc and in the 2011 N ational

E mission I nventory, version 1 Technical Support Document

.

Once inventory data was gathered from the EPA it was summarized for the tables produced in

the following pages. Summaries and calculations were performed using Access databases and

Excel files. These files were examined by a person not involved in their production. No proble ms

were identified.

### 4.2 CATEGORIES FROM THE NONROAD MODEL

The EPA included more than 80 different types of equipment in the NONROAD model. To

facilitate analysis and reporting, the EPA grouped the equipment types into eleven equipment

categories. These include:

Agricultural equipment Lawn and garden equipment , commercial

Commercial equipment Logging equipment

Construction and mining equipment Pleasure craft (recreational marine)

Industrial equipment Railroad maintenance equipment

Lawn and garden equipment, residential Recreational equipment

The eleventh categ ory, aircraft ground support equipment, was not calculated with the

NONROAD model because the method of calculation performed by EDMS 5.1 (also used for

aircraft emissions) was judged to be superior. Additionally, the emissions are estimated for five

diffe rent engine types , t hese include: 2

- stroke and 4

- stroke spark ignition engines, diesel engines,

liquid propane gas and compressed natural gas fueled engines.

The NONROAD2008a model was run by the EPA within the National Mobile Inventory Model

(NMIM ) as i t simplifies the calculation process when emissions for a large number of counties

are calculated at the same time. This latest version of the model was released to the public on

July 6, 2009.

NONROAD2008a is the latest release of the EPA NONROAD model tha t was first released in

June 2000, and incorporates many revisions to improve the model’s predictive ability. This

model revision accounts for emission reductions from the Diesel Recreational Marine standards

in the Locomotive Engines and Marine Compressi on

- Ignition Engines Less Than 30 Liters per

Cylinder final rule published in the Federal Register (FR) (73 FR 25098) and the Small Spark

Ignition Engines and Spark Ignition Recreational Marine Engines final rule (73 FR 59034).Nonroad Source Documentation 4

North Carolina Emissions Inventory & Emissions Statement s SIP Ju ly 7 , 2014 There are a number of additi onal improvements including the ability to model the effects of

ethanol blends on fuel tank and hose permeation losses.

Instead of options files (wherein all the modeling variables are set) used in the NONROAD2008a

model when run by itself, NMIM uses relat ional database files that specify temperatures and fuel

properties to be used for each county for each month of the year. The EPA developed fuel

specifications for all counties and months for North Carolina. For Mecklenburg and Gaston

Counties for July, th e gasoline RVP was 8.71, the ethanol percent was 10 and the ethanol market

share was 0.91. For the other counties the RVP was 9.61, the ethanol percent was 10, and the

ethanol market share was 0.91. For all counties, nonroad gasoline sulfur was 30 parts pe r million

and nonroad diesel sulfur was 31 parts per million. The seasonal file for the model was modified

to place North Carolina in the Southeast states group rather than the Mid

- Atlantic group. This

change was made because the North Carolina Division o f Air Quality ( DAQ ) had reviewed

temperature data for North Carolina compared to states in the Southeast and the Mid

- Atlantic.

The results of this comparison indicated that North Carolina temperatures are more in

- l ine with

the Southeast States.

The nonroa d results file for North Carolina posted by the EPA at

ftp://ftp.epa.gov/EmisInventory/2011v6/v1platform/2011emissions/nonroad_by_state/ was

downloaded and placed in an ACCESS database file for manipulation. The emissions data was

reported by county, equipment type , and pollutant with annual values and monthly values. A file

of source classification codes (SCC) for each of the equipment cat egories was produced and used

for grouping the emissions of NOx and VOC by county and equipment category for the month of

July. Division by 31 produced daily emissions values which were then adjusted by the

population fraction in the nonattainment portions of the counties

.

The summary of the model results expressed in tons emitted per typical Jul y day are tabulated in

Transportation (NCDOT) Rail Division provide passenger service.

Railroad locomotive emissions for classes I, II, and III plus rail yards were calculated for all of

North Carolina for 2008 as part of the Eastern Regional Technical Advisory Committee

( ERTAC ) railroad emission inventory developed for the 2008 NEI . Some of the details of the

ERTAC work are based on proprietary information provided by the railroad companies. The

calculation methodologies followed procedures accepta ble to the EPA. Additional detail can be

found in Documentation for Locom otive Component of the National Emissions Inventory

.

Passenger railroad emissions were developed by the DAQ for 2011 . This was done using

information supplied by the NCDOT Rail Division , maps of rail links and their lengths provided

by the EPA (Federal Railway Administration data), and emission factors f rom Emission Factors

- 025. These 2011 emissions were a dded to the 2011 NEI to

supplement the grown ERTAC estimates reported by the EPA. This was done for Amtrak routes

and for the trains run by the NCDOT.

Reports of railroad e missions in the 2011 NEI were downloaded from the EPA’s EIS Gateway

web site. Emissions at rail yards operating in the nonattainment area (identified by map

coordinates) were separated, summarized, and reported in the point source inventory (see

Appendix B .1) . Emissions from the class I, II, and III railroads plus the passenger railroad

emissions in the nonattainment counties were summarized, adjusted to ton per day values, and

then adjusted by county population fraction in the nonattainment portion. Railro ad e missions are
