1.0 INTRODUCTION

This technical support document (TSD) explains the data sources and methods used to 

prepare criteria air pollutant (CAP) and ammonia (NH3) emission projections for 2017 and 

2020 for the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic/Northeast region. The region includes the 

jurisdictions in the Mid-Atlantic / Northeast Visibility Union (MANE-VU) area plus 

Virginia. In this document, these jurisdictions will be referred to as the MANE-VU+VA 

region. The MANE-VU+VA region includes Connecticut, Delaware, the District of 

Columbia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, 

Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia. 

1.1 INVENTORY PURPOSE

The MANE-VU+VA regional inventories will be used to concurrently address national 

ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) requirements for the new ozone and fine particle 

ambient standards and to evaluate progress towards long-term regional haze goals. The 

emission inventories will support a single integrated, one-atmosphere air quality modeling 

platform, state air quality attainment demonstrations, and other state air quality technical 

analyses. 

The future year inventories account for emissions growth associated with changes in 

population, fuel use, and economic activity. The future year inventories also refect the 

emission changes between 2007 and the two future years that are projected under two 

emission control scenarios: 

Existing Controls – this scenario represents the best estimates for the future year,

accounting for all in-place controls that are fully adopted into federal or individual 

state regulations or State Implementation Plans (SIPs). In the past, this inventory is 

also referred to as the “on-the-books (OTB)” inventory. Air quality modelers often 

refer to this scenario as the “future base case.”

Potential New OTC Controls – this scenario accounts for all of the emission 

reductions from the existing control scenario plus new state or regional measures 

that are under consideration by the Ozone Transport Commission (OTC) or 

individual states. This is a “what if” scenario that assumes that all states in the 

MANE-VU+VA region except Virginia will adopt all new OTC control measures 

under consideration by 2017. Air quality modelers sometimes call this the “future 

control case.” It does not include any potential new federal control measures that 

are under consideration. 
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 2

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has provided guidance on 

developing emission projections to be used with models and other analyses for 

demonstrating attainment of air quality goals for ozone, fine particles, and regional haze 

(USEPA 1999, USEPA 2005a, USEPA 2007a). In addition, the USEPA has recently 

developed its own emission projections that provide data on growth and future controls 

that were useful in developing the MANE-VU+VA future year emission inventories 

(USEPA 2010a). The guidance and information available from USEPA was followed and 

used, as appropriate, in developing the future year emission projections. 

1.2 POLLUTANTS

The inventory includes annual emissions for carbon monoxide (CO), ammonia (NH3), 

oxides of nitrogen (NOx), particulate matter (PM), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and volatile 

organic compounds (VOC). The PM species in the inventory are categorized as: filterable 

and condensable particles with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 10 

and 2.5 micrometers (i.e., PM10-PRI and PM25-PRI); filterable particles with an 

aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 10 and 2.5 micrometers (i.e., PM10-

FIL and PM25-FIL); and condensable particles (PM-CON). Note that PM10-PRI equals 

the sum of PM10-FIL and PM-CON, and PM25-PRI equals the sum of PM25-FIL and 

PM-CON.

1.3 SOURCE CATEGORIES

Emission inventory data from six general categories are needed to support air quality 

modeling: electric generating units (EGUs), stationary nonEGU point-sources, stationary 

area-sources, on-road mobile sources, nonroad mobile sources, and biogenic/geogenic 

emissions. This report documents the development of emission projections for three of 

these sectors, as follows: 

NonEGU Point Sources are individual facilities and are further subdivided by 

stack, emission unit (“point”), and emission process (“segment”). Point source data 

include source-specific information on source location (e.g., latitude/longitude 

coordinates); stack parameters (stack diameter and height, exit gas temperature and 

velocity); type of process (source classification code {SCC}); and annual 

emissions. 

Stationary Area Sources include sources that in and of themselves are quite small, 

but in aggregate may contribute significant emissions. Examples include small 

industrial/commercial facilities, residential heating furnaces, VOCs volatizing from

house painting or consumer products, gasoline service stations, and agricultural 

fertilizer/pesticide application. 

Non-road Mobile Sources include internal combustion engines used to propel 

marine vessels, airplanes, and locomotives, or to operate equipment such as 

forklifts, lawn and garden equipment, portable generators, etc. For activities other 

than marine vessels, airplanes, and railroad locomotives (MAR), the inventory was 

developed using the most current version of USEPA’s NONROAD model as 

embedded in the National Mobile Inventory Model (NMIM). Since the 

NONROAD model does not include emissions from MAR sources, these emissions 

were estimated based on data and methodologies used in recent USEPA regulatory 

impact analyses. 

For these three sectors, emissions projections were compiled on an annual basis to 

represent conditions in 2017 and 2020. 

Emission projections for the three other sectors are being developed by the OTC under 

separate efforts: 

EGU Point Sources are units that generate electric power and sell most of that

power to the electrical grid. Emission projections for EGUs are being developed as 

part of an inter-RPO coordination effort under the direction of the Eastern Regional 

Technical Advisory Committee (ERTAC). 

On-road Mobile Sources are sources of air pollution from internal combustion 

engines used to propel cars, trucks, buses, and other vehicles on public roadways. 

Emission projections for on-road mobile sources are being developed under a 

separate effort by the OTC that will use the USEPA Motor Vehicle Emission 

Simulator (MOVES) model. 

Biogenic emissions are emitted by natural sources, such as plants, trees, and soils. 

The sharp scent of pine needles, for instance, is caused by monoterpenes, which are 

VOCs. The USEPA developed estimates of biogenic emissions from vegetation for 

natural areas, crops, and urban vegetation. The USEPA estimates take into account 

the geographic variations in vegetation land cover and species composition, as well 

as seasonal variations in leaf cover. Emission projections for biogenic sources will 

be developed under a separate effort by the OTC modeling team. 

Documentation of the emission projections for these three sectors will be available from 

the OTC.

1.4 DATA FORMATS

The annual mass emissions inventory files were prepared in the National Emissions 

Inventory (NEI) Output Format Version 3.0 (NOF 3.0). Spreadsheets summarizing 

emissions by county, sector, source classification code, and pollutant were also prepared. 

These annual emission inventories will be converted (through the emissions modeling 

process) from their original resolution (e.g., annual, county level) to input files for air 

quality models. These input files require emissions to be specified by model grid cell, 

hour, and model chemical species. The emission modelers in the MANE-VU+VA region 

are using the Sparse Matrix Operator Kernel Emissions (SMOKE) modeling system and 

data formats. Emission inventory files were prepared in SMOKE compatible format. 

1.5 INVENTORY VERSIONS

1.5.1 Version 1 Modeling Inventory

Work commenced in 2009 to assemble comprehensive 2007 and future year emission 

inventories to support air quality modeling. Using data available from state agencies and 

the USEPA, detailed point and area source emission inventories were compiled. The 

NONROAD model was used to estimate emissions for the nonroad equipment categories 

included in the model. State and USEPA data were used to assemble the inventory for 

nonroad sources not included in the NONROAD model (marine vessels, aircraft, and 

railroad locomotives, collectively referred to as the MAR sector). 

For the point, area, and MAR sectors, growth factors are applied to account for changes in 

population, fuel use and economic activity. Next, control factors are applied to account for 

future emission reductions from post-2007 control measures. The NONROAD model was 

used to project emissions for the nonroad equipment included in the model. The control 

scenario developed accounted for post-2007 emission reductions from promulgated 

federal, State, local, and site-specific control programs and proposed control programs that 

are reasonably anticipated to result in post-2007 emission reductions. A series of quality 

assurance steps are conducted to ensure the development of complete, accurate, and 

consistent emission inventories. The inventories are provided in two formats – SMOKE 

One-Record-Per-Line (ORL) format and a spreadsheet format suitable for SIP submittals. 

Finally, emission summary tables by state and pollutant were developed. 

Version 1 of the 2007 base year inventory and the emission projections for 

2013/2017/2020 were released for state and stakeholder review in late 2009 and early 

2010. 
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

1.5.2 Version 2 Modeling Inventory

Following the review of Version 1, significant efforts were made to improve the inventory 

by using more state-specific data and correcting errors or omissions that were uncovered. 

These improvements were completed in February of 2011 and are referred to as Version 2 

of the MANE-VU+VA 2007 and 2013/2017/2020 inventories. The inventories were 

documented in two TSDs (MARAMA 2011a, MARAMA 2011b).

1.5.3 Version 3 Modeling Inventories with Existing and Potential Controls

Beginning in the fall of 2011, MARAMA sponsored development of Version 3 of the 2007 

base year modeling inventory to incorporate new paved road emission estimates, revised 

modeling of nonroad and onroad sources, and other state-specific changes

(MARAMA2012). 

This report documents the development of Version 3 of the future year inventories for the 

area source, nonEGU, and nonroad sectors. The future year modeling inventories for 

EGU) are currently being developed under a separate effort lead by ERTAC. The future 

year modeling inventories for onroad sources are currently being developed by 

NESCAUM, MARAMA or individual states.

In Version 3, the state Air Directors issued guidance on the future year emission control 

scenarios to be developed, as follows: 

“A special meeting of the Air Directors was convened to discuss the controlled 

inventory. During that call many Air Directors indicated that they would not be 

able to clearly identify which of the control measures their states would adopt 

because of the uncertainty surrounding the ozone standard. Therefore, all states, 

except Virginia, requested that the contractor be instructed to calculate the effect of 

all measures being fully adopted by both 2017 and 2020. This will allow modelers 

to assess the potential effect of the measures if they were fully implemented on air 

quality. We can also then test the assumptions that we have been making about the 

cumulative percent reduction from the measures.”

Thus, these TSD discusses two future control scenarios: an “existing controls” scenario 

scenario intended to include all 2017/2020 control measaures included in an individual 

state’s regulations or SIP, and a "what if" scenario that assumes that all states adopt 

certain new control measures by 2017.

2.0 IDENTIFICATION OF EGU AND NONEGU POINT SOURCES

Only the emissions from point sources classified as nonEGUs are being projected using the 

methods and data contained in this report. Emissions from EGU point sources are being 

developed by ERTAC. 

States were asked to classify units in the 2007 MANE-VU+VA emissions inventory as 

either EGU or nonEGU. Most, but not all, of the units that are required to report hourly 

emissions to USEPA’s Clean Air Markets Division (CAMD) are classified as EGUs. 

CAMD implements USEPA’s rule found in Volume 40 Part 75 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR), which requires an hourly accounting of emissions from each affected 

unit - i.e., sources participating in an emissions cap and trade program under the Acid 

Rain Control Program, the NOx Budget Trading Program, or the Clean Air Interstate Rule. 

For the ERTAC projection methodology, the following guidance was provided to states to 

classify a unit as an EGU if it meets the following criteria:

An EGU sells most of the power generated to the electrical grid; 

An EGU burns mostly commercial fuel. Commercial fuel in this case means 

natural gas, oil, and coal. Wood is not considered a commercial fuel because some 

states identify wood as renewable. Therefore, to avoid double counting, units that 

burn wood and other renewable sources (depending on each state's own definition) 

should not be considered as an EGU (unless it is already in the CAMD database).

The following are units were not considered as EGU for emission projections: (1) a unit 

that generates power for a facility but occasionally sells to the grid; (2) emergency 

generators; or (3) distributed generation units.

States were provided with a list of units that report to CAMD (USEPA 2009a) and a list of 

units with an electric generating unit SCC (1-01-xxx-xx or 2-01-xxx-xx). States identified 

which units should be classified as EGUs and which should be classified as nonEGUs. 

Appendix A identifies the units that report emissions to CAMD and whether they are 

classified as EGUs or nonEGUs for emission projection purposes. A few states also 

identified units with SCCs beginning with 1-01 or 2-01 that do not report to CAMD but 

which should be classified as EGUs; however, for emission projection purposes these units 

will be processed using the nonEGU projection methodology described in this report. 

Exhibits 2.1 to 2.7 summarize EGU and nonEGU emissions for 2007. For these exhibits, 

EGUs are defined as units that report emissions to CAMD and have been classified as 

EGUs by the states for emission projection purposes.

3.0 GROWTH PROJECTION FACTORS FOR NONEGUs AND AREA 

SOURCES

The area and nonEGU point source growth factors were developed using six sets of data:

The Annual Energy Outlook (AEO) fuel consumption forecasts;

County-level population projections;

State-level employment projections by NAICS code; 

County-level vehicle miles travelled (VMT) projections; 

USEPA projections for livestock and residential wood combustion; and 

Other state-specific emission projection data.

The priority for applying these growth factors was to first use the state-supplied projection 

data (if available). If state-supplied data were not provided, then the AEO projection 

factors were used for fuel consumption sources, and the population/employment/VMT data 

were used for other source categories. 

3.1 AEO FUEL USE PROJECTIONS

The AEO is published annually by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). It 

presents long-term projections of energy supply, demand, and prices through 2035, based 

on results from EIA’s National Energy Modeling System (NEMS). NEMS projects the 

production, imports, conversion, consumption, and prices of energy, subject to 

assumptions on macroeconomic and financial factors, world energy markets, resource 

availability and costs, behavioral and technological choice criteria, energy technology cost 

and performance characteristics, and demographics.

AEO provides regional fuel-use forecasts for various fuel types (e.g., coal, residual oil, 

distillate oil, natural gas) by end use sector (e.g., residential, commercial, industrial, 

transportation, and electric power). Energy use projections are reported at the Census 

division level. The census divisions grouped states as follows:

South Atlantic - DE, DC, MD, VA 

Middle Atlantic – NJ, NY, PA 

New England – CT, ME, MA, NH, RI, VT

Appendices B1, B2, and B3 contain the AEO2010 fuel use projections for each of these 

three regions. Appendices B4, B5, and B6 contain the AEO2011 fuel use projections

Version 2 of the MANE-VU+VA future year inventories was developed using AEO2010 

(EIA2010). After the release of Version 2, AEO2011 was published (EIA2011). 

MARAMA reviewed the updated fuel forecasts and compared the AEO2010 and 

AEO2011 projections. Appendix B7 documents MARAMA’s analysis. MARAMA 
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 16

calculated the difference in projected fuel usage between AEO2010 and AEO2011 for the 

residential, commercial, industrial, transportation, and electric power sector for the 

distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, coal, natural gas, and renewable fuel types. MARAMA 

identified thresholds for what constitutes a major change as follows:

An increase or decrease of 1% or less is considered to be no change and did not 

warrant a change in the growth factors between Versions 2 and 3 of the inventory;

An increase or decrease of between 1% and 5% is considered to be a minor change, 

and states agreed that these differences between AEO2010 and AEO2011 did not 

warrant a change in the growth factors between Versions 2 and 3 of the inventory;

An increase or decrease above 5% is considered a major change, and warrants a 

change in the growth factors used in Version 3. 

MARAMA recommended that the AEO2010 projections be retained for all residential, 

commercial, and industrial sector fuel use, except for industrial natural gas usage, where 

the AEO2011 projections will be used for Version 3 of the future year modeling inventory. 

New Jersey elected to use the more recent growth factors from AEO2011 instead of the 

AEO2010 growth factors for all area source fossil fuel use categories. 

Exhibits 3.1 to 3.5 summarize the projected fuel use rates by source sector (residential, 

commercial, industrial, transportation) , AEO region, and fuel type for the years 2007 to 

2025. The unusual growth in commercial residual oil use in the South Atlantic region 

could not be explained; Maryland elected to use manufacturing employment instead of the 

AEO2010 growth factor for commercial residual oil combustion, while Virginia and the 

District chose to assume flat growth in this sector. 

3.2 POPULATION PROJECTIONS

States provided county-level 2007 populations and projections for future years. The 

historical and projection years varied from state-to-state, so values were interpolated, when 

necessary, to create population estimates for each year from 2007 to 2025. The population 

data were normalized to create growth factors from 2007 for each future year. For 

example, Delaware had a population of 861,087 in 2007 and the projected population in 

2017 is 953,204, then the growth factor for 2017 is 953,204 / 861,087 = 1.107. 

Population projections are provided in Appendix C. Exhibit 3.6 summarizes the 

population growth factors by state and AEO2010 region. Population is projected to grow 

in every state between 2007 and 2025. The population growth in the New England states 

varies significantly by state. Population growth in the South Atlantic states is projected to 

be much higher than in the New England and Mid-Atlantic states.

3.3 EMPLOYMENT PROJECTIONS 

Every two years, the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics produces long-term industry and 

occupation forecasts for ten future years and states are asked to do the same for their

respective economies. The most recent projections from state Department’s of Labor of 

for the period 2006 to 2016, most of which were published in 2008. These 10-year 

forecasts are updated every other year. The next set of state-specific projections will be for 

the period 2008 to 2018. Only the District of Columbia and Delaware were able to provide 

employment projections for 2008 to 2018; the 2008 to 2018 projections were not available 

for other states in time for use on this project. The employment projections are state-wide 

by 3-digit NAICS code. Employment projections are provided in Appendix D. Exhibit 3.7 

summarizes the manufacturing employment (NAICS sector 31-33) growth factors by state

and AEO2010 region. States in the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic region show a marked 

decrease in manufacturing employment from 2007 forward. 

3.4 VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED PROJECTIONS

States developed projections of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) for 2007, 2017 and 2020 

which were used as the growth factor for projecting emissions from re-entrained road dust 

from travel on paved roads (SCC 22-94-000-000). The 2007 and future year VMT are 

identical to those used in the MOVES modeling. Exhibit 3.8 shows the state level VMT 

growth between 2007 and 2020. Growth factors for years where VMT were not directly 

provided by states were estimated by a linear interpolation of available data. Countyspecific VMT projections are provided in Appendix E. 

3.5 NO GROWTH ASSIGNMENT FOR CERTAIN AREA SOURCE 

CATEGORIES 

For several area source categories, it seems reasonable that emissions would not change 

from the 2007 values. No growth was applied to the 2007 emissions for the area source 

categories shown in Exhibit 3.9.

3.6 EPA 2020 PROJECTIONS FOR RESIDENTIAL WOOD AND 

LIVESTOCK 

EPA’s Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) made available its 2020 

emissions projections associated with its 2005-based v4 modeling platform. MARAMA 

used the OAQPS emission projection parameters for two area source sectors –livestock 

and residential wood combustion. OAQPS’s methodology and data sources are 

summarized below (USEPA 2008a). 

OAQPS projected residential wood combustion emissions are based on the expected 

increase in the number of low-emitting wood stoves and the corresponding decrease in 

other types of wood stoves. As newer, cleaner woodstoves replace older, more polluting 

stoves, there will be an overall reduction of emissions from this category. The approach 

used by OAQPS was developed as part of a modeling exercise to estimate the expected 

benefits of the woodstove changeout program. This methodology uses a combination of 

growth and control factors and is based on activity not pollutant. The growth and control 

are accounted for in a single factor for each residential wood SCC (certain SCCs represent 

controlled equipment, while other SCCs represent uncontrolled equipment). Control

factors are indirectly incorporated based on which stove is used. The specific assumptions 

OAQPS made were:

Fireplaces, SCC=2104008001: increase 1%/year; 

Old woodstoves, SCC=2104008002, 2104008010, 2104008051: decrease 2%/year;

New woodstoves, SCC=2104008003, 2104008004, 2104008030, 2104008050,

2104008052 or 2104008053: increase 2%/year.

For the general woodstoves and fireplaces category (SCC 2104008000) OAQPS computed 

a weighted average distribution based on 19.4% fireplaces, 71.6% old woodstoves, 9.1% 

new woodstoves using 2002 Platform emissions for PM2.5. These fractions are based on 

the fraction of emissions from these processes in states that did not have the “general 

woodstoves and fireplaces” SCC in the 2002 NEI. This approach results in an overall 

decrease of 1.056% per year for this source category. Appendix F contains the residential 

wood projection data from OAQPS. 

OAQPS based growth in emissions from livestock on projections of growth in animal 

population. Except for dairy cows and turkeys, the animal projection factors are derived 

from national-level animal population projections from the U.S. Department of Agriculture 

(USDA) and the Food and Agriculture Policy and Research Institute (FAPRI). 
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 28

For dairy cows and turkeys OAQPS assumed that there would be no growth in emissions. 

This assumption was based on an analysis of historical trends in the number of such 

animals compared to production rates. While productions rates have increased, the number 

of animals has declined. In particular, the dairy cow population is projected to decrease in 

the future as it has for the past few decades; however, milk production is expected to 

increase over the same period. Thus, OAQPS does not believe that production forecasts 

provide representative estimates of the future number of cows and turkeys. Therefore, 

OAQPS did not use these forecasts for estimating future-year emissions from these 

animals. Note that the ammonia emissions from dairies are related to both animal 

population and nitrogen excretion. Appendix G contains the livestock projection data from 

OAQPS. 

3.7 SCC, SIC, NAICS AND GROWTH PARAMETER CROSSWALK 

Since the employment projections were based on 3-digit NAICS code, it was necessary to 

map NAICS codes to SCCs and SIC codes that were used by states. Employment 

projections at the more specific 4-digit or 6-digit NAICS codes were not available. 

The first step for developing a comprehensive crosswalk between the different source 

classification codes (SCC, SIC, and NAICS codes) and emission activity growth indicators 

was to compile a complete list of the NAICS codes in the 2007 point source inventory. 

Some states use the SIC code while other use the NAICS code. Still other states use both 

the SIC and NAICS codes. When the NAICS code was not available SIC codes were 

converted to NAICS codes. The 6-digit NAICS code was truncated to a 3-digit code, 

which represents major industry subsectors of the economy. A U.S. Census Bureau 

document was used to perform this conversion (CENSUS 2000). 

The next step was to review parameters that could be used as the emission activity growth 

indicator for each SCC or NAICS. We initially relied on two USEPA crosswalks (USEPA 

2004a, USEPA 2004b) to match area and nonEGU point source SCCs to AEO2010 

categories, employment NAICS codes, and population. The sector specific spreadsheets

identify the growth parameter used to project emissions for each SCC.

3.8 FINAL GROWTH FACTORS FOR NONEGU / AREA SOURCES

The previous section described the growth factors initially recommended to project future 

year emissions inventories for area and non-EGU sources. Draft growth and control 

factors, and a draft technical support document, were circulated for review by MARAMA 

and state agencies. During the review, it was noted that several emissions categories show 
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 29

negative growth into the future, particularly categories related to fossil fuel combustion 

and manufacturing employment. 

Many of the growth factors used to project emissions for area and non-EGU sources were 

based on the AEO2010 fuel consumption forecasts and state-level employment projections. 

The AEO2010 forecasts show declining trends for many fuel consumption sectors, 

especially industrial, residential, and commercial distillate fuel oil use. Similarly, the 

employment projections show declines in the predicted number of employees for many 

sectors of the economy. This is particularly true for the manufacturing sector, which is of 

interest because this sector is often associated with higher emissions than those for other 

sectors. By contrast, the employment projections show increasing trends in retail and 

service-related sectors. However, these sectors are not typically associated with 

significant emissions.

Predicted declines in fuel use and employment resulted in growth factors less than unity 

(i.e., represent negative growth) for many area and non-EGU point source categories. 

Consequently, for some categories, emissions are lower for the projected future years than 

for the base year, even before the application of control assumptions (i.e. the future 

"growth only" emissions are lower than the base year emissions). The MARAMA 

emissions inventory workgroup met on several occasions via conference calls and email 

exchanges to discuss whether the negative growth projections were realistic, and what 

additional assumptions should be made. A topic of particular concern is negative growth 

for non-EGU point sources versus the treatment of Emissions Reduction Credits (ERCs) in 

the future year inventories (see Section 3.9 for a discussion of how ERCs were handled). 

One conclusion the workgroup reached is that growth methods and assumptions for area 

sources and non-EGUs should be as consistent as possible with those that are being used 

by the Eastern Regional Technical Advisory Committee (ERTAC) for the projection of 

emissions from EGUs. ERTAC is using AEO2010 as a starting point for estimating 

projected future year emissions, and their preliminary analysis shows some indications of 

negative growth. But their analysis is still on-going, and it is too early in the process to 

draw firm conclusions or make solid recommendations at this time regarding their work 

and its relationship to the area and non-EGU projections.

A few states cited the importance of the negative growth issue for non-EGUs and how it 

relates to their ERC programs which are critical to new businesses being able to locate in 

those states. Because businesses could apply for and sell ERCs at the level of the base 

year inventory, it would not be realistic to show negative growth for non-EGU point 

sources. During an economic downturn, a facility could shut down and sell its ERCs, 
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 30

making the effective level of future year emissions equal to (i.e. no lower than) the base 

year. Therefore, a recommended conservative approach for addressing negative growth for 

non-EGU point sources is to set a minimum growth rate of 1 (no growth).

During the July 23, 2010 conference call held to discuss the negative growth issue, state 

and agency representatives on the call were polled as to whether or not they felt that the 

current set of proposed growth factors - including the negative growth factors - were 

realistic for their state or district. In reply, some representatives mentioned that they have 

observed historic state-specific data that supports the trends displayed by the proposed 

growth factors. Other representatives mentioned that they feel comfortable with the 

growth factors and don't have a technical basis to change them or suggest others. 

As a result of these discussions, each state provided guidance on how to handle projections 

when negative growth is indicated. Exhibit 3.10 shows the state recommendations for 

nonEGU point source, and Exhibit 3.11 shows the state recommendations for area sources. 

The sector specific spreadsheets identify the growth parameter used to project emissions 

for each SCC.

3.9 EMISSION REDUCTION CREDITS

Mulitple states (Connecticut, Maryland, Massachesetts, New Hampshire and New Jersey) 

added county level records account for account emission reduction credits (ERCs) issued 

to stationary sources pursuant to state regulations. States provided ERCs on a county-bycounty basis. Fictitious facilities with an identifier of “OFFSET99999” were created for 

each county using SCC 23-99-000-000 (miscellaneous industrial processes: not elsewhere 

classified). Stack data were developed that assumed that emissions were released at the 

county centroid with an assumed release height of 10 feet. For the 2017 and 2020 

inventories, ERC emissions were set to the amount of banked emissions available in 2007. 

Delaware included the banked credits at the specific locations that they were generated. 

Virginia does not have a formal banking and trading program. Virginia used growth rates 

of 1 for those SCCs in the point source emissions inventory that showed a negative growth. 

In addition, for units that have or are projected to have shut down, Virginia preserved the 

2007 emissions in the inventory to account for potential use as offsets or credits.

Other states did not provide any additional information on how to account for ERCs.

4.0 AREA SOURCE CONTROL FACTORS 

Control factors were developed to estimate post-2007 emission reductions resulting from 

on-the-books regulations and proposed regulations/actions. Control factors were 

developed for the following national and regional measures:

Federal Rules Affecting Area Sources

Federal MACT Rules 

Control Technique Guidelines

OTC Model Rules 

These control programs are discussed in the following subsections. The control factors 

used for area sources are provided in V3_3 Area_07_17_20.xlsx

4.1 FEDERAL RULES AFFECTING AREA SOURCES 

USEPA made available its 2020 emissions projections associated with its 2005-based v4 

modeling platform (USEPA 2010b). USEPA accounted for control strategies for four area 

source categories. These categories, and their treatment in the emission projection 

inventories, are described below: 

Woodstoves - As noted in Section 3.6, USEPA developed projection factors to 

account for the replacement of retired woodstoves that emit at pre-new source 

performance standard (NSPS) levels with lower-emitting woodstoves. We used

USEPA’s latest methodology which uses a combination growth and control factor 

and is based on activity and not pollutant. The growth and control are accounted 

for in a single factor for specific SCCs that account for the turnover from pre-NSPS 

to post-NSPS woodstove. 

Landfills: USEPA estimated a 75% reduction in VOC emissions from municipal 

solid waste landfills. However, since the compliance date for this standard was 

January 2004, no post-2007 reductions were applied to the MANE-VU+VA 

projection inventory since the emission reductions from this MACT standard 

should be reflected in the 2007 inventory and not as an additional post-2007 credit. 

Vehicle Refueling (Stage II): VOC emissions from the gasoline Stage II (vehicle 

refueling) are affected by two emission control programs. Many areas in the region 

have Stage II vapor recovery rules that were in effect prior to 2007 that require the 

capture of gasoline vapors generated when a motor vehicle fuel tank is filled at a 

gasoline station. The vapors are transferred from the fuel tank in the vehicle to the 

storage tank at the station as the vehicle fuel tank is filled. Beginning with the 

1998 model year, USEPA established a phase-in schedule requiring vehicles to 
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 34

incorporate on-board equipment to capture the gasoline vapor emissions from 

refueling. These controls, referred to as on-board refueling vapor recovery 

(ORVR), have been required on the vast majority of gasoline powered motor 

vehicles since the 2006 model year. VOC emissions for 2020 from vehicle 

refueling were estimated by NESCAUM using the MOVES model 

(NESCAUM2011). VOC emissions for 2017 were estimated by interpolating 

between the MOVES 2007 and 2020 results. Appendix H contains the VOC control 

efficiencies by county used in the MOVES modeling for displacement losses and 

for spillage losses.

Portable fuel containers (PFCs): VOC emissions from PFCs will be reduced due to 

the federal regulation controlling air toxic emissions from mobile sources 

promulgated in 2007. Most northeastern and mid-Atlantic states had already 

adopted similar regulations prior to the federal rule. Refer to the OTC 2006 model 

rules subsection later in this document (Section 4.4.6) for a discussion of the 

approach for accounting for VOC emission reductions from PFCs.

4.2 FEDERAL MACT RULES

USEPA developed guidance for estimating VOC and NOx emission changes from MACT 

Rules (USEPA 2007b). We reviewed the guidance to identify possible area source 

controls associated with the federal maximum achievable control technology (MACT) 

standards for controlling hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Although designed to reduce 

HAPs, many of the MACT standards also provide a reduction in criteria air pollutants. 

The USEPA document provides an estimate of the percent reduction in VOC and NOx 

from each standard, and the compliance date for the standard. This information was used 

to determine whether the MACT standard provided post-2007 emission reductions. For 

example, if a compliance period of a MACT standard was 2007 or earlier, then we 

assumed that the emission reductions from the MACT standard should be reflected in the 

baseline year and not as an additional post- 2007 credit. 

Only one area source category was listed in the USEPA guidance document - municipal 

solid waste landfills. Since the compliance date for this standard was January 2004, no 

post-2007 reductions were applied since the emission reductions from the MACT standard 

should be reflected in the 2007 inventory and not as an additional post-2007 credit. 

USEPA has or will soon develop MACT standards for about 70 area source categories. 

We reviewed USEPA’s 2020 emissions projections described in the previous section and 

found that USEPA did not include emission reductions from recent area source MACT 

standards. We conducted a review of USEPA’s air toxic website and found that USEPA 
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 35

determined that many area source MACT standards would result in nationwide reductions 

in criteria air pollutants in addition to the reductions in HAP emissions. However, many 

states in the MANE-VU+VA region already have emission standards for many categories 

that are as stringent as the Federal area source MACT standards. For example, many states 

in the MANE-VU+VA region already have requirements as stringent as the Gasoline 

Distribution MACT and GACT (generally achievable control technology) standards, and 

little additional VOC reductions would be realized in the region. Given the resources 

allocated to this project, it was beyond the scope to conduct an analysis of the area source 

MACT requirements and state-by-state emission regulations to determine whether there 

would be emission reductions resulting from the area source MACT standards. 

The only exception to the above discussion of area source MACT standards pertains to the 

recently promulgated rules for reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE). USEPA 

made available an estimate of the percent reduction in emissions attributable to the RICE 

MACT rule in 2012 and 2014 (USEPA 2010c). The USEPA 2014 estimates shown in 

Exhibit 4.1 were used for the MANE-VU+VA 2017 and 2020 inventories. 

4.3 RECENT CONTROL TECHNIQUE GUIDELINES

Control Techniques Guidelines (CTGs) are documents issued by USEPA to provide states 

with recommendation on VOC controls from a specific product or source category in an 

ozone nonattainment area. USEPA issued new or updated CTGs for 13 VOC categories in 

3 groups during 2006, 2007 and 2008 (USEPA 2008b). The categories are:

2006 CTGs

 Flat Wood Paneling Coatings

 Industrial Cleaning Solvents

 Flexible Package, Lithographic and Letterpress Printing 

2007 CTGs

 Large Appliance Surface Coating

 Metal Furniture Coatings

 Paper Film and Foil Coatings

2008 CTGs

 Miscellaneous Metal Parts Coatings

 Plastic Parts Coatings 

 Auto and Light-duty Truck Assembly Coatings

 Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing

 Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesives

States indicated that they expected very littleadditional reductions from these new or 

amended CTGs. Therefore, no emission reductions were included in the inventory.

4.4 OTC MODEL RULES FOR AREA SOURCES 

The Ozone Transport Commission (OTC) developed model rules for member states in 

2001 for several area source categories: consumer products, architectural and industrial 

maintenance (AIM) coatings, portable fuel containers (PFCs), mobile equipment repair and 

refinishing, solvent cleaning, and industrial boilers. In 2006 the OTC introduced model 

rules for two additional area source categories (adhesives/sealants and asphalt paving), 

more stringent requirements for consumer products, portable fuel containers, and industrial 

boilers. In 2009/2010, the OTC recommended additional controls for autobody refinishing 

operations, consumer products, AIM coatings, and small new natural gas-fired boilers. In 

addition, MANE-VU states committed to the use of low sulfur home heating, distillate and 

residual fuel oil. Exhibit 4-2 briefly describes the OTC and MANE-VU control measures 

affecting area sources that have been recommended for adoption by the states in the OTR. 

Individual states are in various stages of adopting the OTC recommendations into their 

rules and SIPs. OTC’s status reports were reviewed to identify each state’s adoption status 

(OTC 2009, OTC 2011a, OTC2011b). To obtain further clarification, states were polled to 

determine whether they have adopted a rule that would achieve reductions equivalent to 

the OTC model rule or recommendation and whether credit for each rule was already 

accounted for in the 2007 inventory. 

To evaluate the impact of the rules currently in place as well as the potential adoption of all 

control measures by all states except Virginia, the state Air Directors specified that two 

emission control scenarios should be developed as follows: 

Existing Controls - this scenario represents the best estimates for the future year,

accounting for all in-place controls that are fully adopted into federal or individual 

state regulations or SIPs. 

Potential New OTC Controls – this scenario accounts for all of the emission 

reductions from the existing control scenario plus new state or regional measures 

that are under consideration by the OTC or individual states. This is a “what if”

scenario that assumes that all states in the MANE-VU+VA region except Virginia 

will adopt all new OTC control measures under consideration by 2017. It does 

not include any potential new federal control measures that are under consideration. 

The following paragraphs describe the control factors applied for each control measure by 

state and future year.

4.4.1 OTC Model Rule for Adhesives/Sealants

VOC emissions in this category are primarily from commercial applications such as floor 

covering installation (carpet and wood flooring), roof installations and repair and 

upholstery shops. The category also includes industrial applications such as wood product 

manufacturers. Adhesives in small containers are not included in this category but are 

regulated under the consumer products regulations. 

The OTC 2006 model rule for industrial adhesives and sealants is based on the reasonably 

available control technology (RACT) and best available retrofit control technology 

(BARCT) determination by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) developed in 

1998. The OTC model rule regulates the application of adhesives, sealants, adhesive 

primers and sealant primers by providing options for appliers to either use a product with a 

VOC content equal to or less than a specified limit or to use add-on controls to achieve an 

equivalent reduction. The emission reduction benefit estimation methodology for area 

sources is based on information developed and used by CARB as discussed in their 1998 

RACT report. A 64.4 percent reduction in VOC emissions was estimated for SCC 24-40-

020-000. 

States were polled to determine whether they have adopted a rule that would achieve 

reductions equivalent to the 2006 OTC recommendations and whether the estimated 

reduction in VOC emissions should be applied in 2017 and 2020. State-by-state

recommendations are shown in Exhibit 4.3. 

It should be noted that not all states account for emissions from this category in a separate 

area source inventory. Some states, based on information received from USEPA, excluded 

this category because the emissions to some extent may be accounted for in the area source 

commercial and consumer products category or in the nonEGU point source inventory.

4.4.2 OTC Model Rules for Architectural and Industrial Maintenance Coatings

On August 14, 1998, USEPA issued the final version of their National Volatile Organic 

Compound Emission Standards for Architectural Coatings under Section 183(e) of the 

Clean Air Act. This final rule applied only to manufacturers and importers of architectural 

coatings, and set VOC content limits for 61 coating categories. This rule specifically 

allowed states or local governments to adopt more stringent coating limits.

The OTC adopted an AIM model rule more stringent than the national rule, and based 

primarily on the 2000 CARB suggested control measure (SCM) for AIM coatings. The 

2001 OTC model rule was estimated to provide a 31 percent incremental reduction in VOC 

emissions compared to the Federal Part 59 rule and was applied to the following SCCs:

24-01-001-000 All Architectural Coatings

24-01-002-000 Architectural Coatings Solvent Based

24-01-003-000 Architectural Coatings Water Based

24-01-008-000 Traffic Markings

24-01-100-000 Industrial Maintenance Coatings

24-01-200-000 Other Special Purpose Coatings

The OTC 2009/2010 model rule is an update of the 2001 model rule. It is based the 2007 

CARB suggested control measure. The OTC 2009/2010 rule includes new categories 

which were defined in the 2007 CARB measure and revised limits for several coating

Page 41

categories In addition to the revised limits in the 2007 CARB SCM, the OTC model rule 

also includes a more stringent VOC limit for the Industrial Maintenance (IM) coating 

category that was included in the 2000 CARB SCM. The 2000 CARB SCM proposed a 

limit of 250 g/L with an optional limit of 340 g/L for colder climates. The 2002 OTC 

model rule included the 340 g/l due to concerns about the ability to comply in the colder 

northeast. Because of the success of implementing the revised limit throughout California 

and the advent of t-butyl acetate as a delisted solvent, OTC believes a 250 g/L VOC limit 

is now feasible and has included this new lowered limit in the 2010 model rule. 

The CARB SCM data was used to estimate a 34.4 percent reduction for architectural 

coatings and a 9.7 percent reduction for traffic markings. For industrial maintenance 

coatings, a 26.5 percent reduction was estimated based on lowering the VOC content limit 

from 340 g/L to 250 g/L. Other specialty coatings are another form of industrial high 

performance maintenance coatings (IM), so the IM control factor was also used for the 

other specialty coatings SCC.

States were polled to determine whether they had adopted a rule that would achieve 

reductions equivalent to the 2006 OTC recommendations and whether the estimated 

reduction in VOC emissions should be applied in 2017 and 2020. Many states adopted the 

rule prior to 2007 and have already accounted for the reductions attributable to the rule in 

their 2007 inventories. Other states had compliance dates after 2007 and the effect of the 

rule was not accounted for in their 2007 inventory. State-by-state recommendations to 

account for the AIM rule are shown in Exhibit 4.4.

4.4.3 OTC Model Rule for Asphalt Paving

OTC Resolution 06-02 recommends that states establish rules to achieve a 20 percent 

reduction in VOC emissions from the application and use of emulsified and cutback 

asphalt. The reductions apply to the following SCCs:

24-61-021-000 Cutback Asphalt

24-61-022-000 Emulsified Asphalt

States were polled to determine whether they have adopted a rule that would achieve

4.4.4 OTC Model Rules for Consumer Products

Several states began regulating the VOC content of consumer products in the early 1990s. 

The USEPA promulgated a national rule in 1998 (40CFR, Part 59, Subpart C). Both the 

California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the OTC states have periodically updated 

their state rules to obtain VOC reductions beyond those required by the federal rule. 

Following the lead of CARB, the OTC 2001 model rule for consumer products adopted 

more stringent VOC content limits for certain categories. The OTC 2006 model rule 

modified the OTC 2001 model rule based on amendments adopted by CARB in July 2005

to include additional products and more stringent VOC limits for certain products. CARB 

amended their rules again in 2006 and the OTC 2010 model rule is based on those 

amendments. 

The OTC 2010 model amendments have more restrictive VOC limits for 14 existing 

consumer product categories (15 including subcategories) and three new categories (five 

including subcategories) will be regulated for the first time with VOC limits. The OTC 

2010 model rule amendments also clarify or modify previously defined or regulated 

categories. The model rules also contained optional prohibitions on the use of chlorinated 

toxic compounds in certain consumer product categories. CARB adopted these provisions 

simultaneous with their VOC limits to address the use of non-VOC chlorinated solvent use 

increasing as they are used as replacement compounds.

The VOC percentage reduction from the various rules and amendments are summarized in 

Exhibit 4.6. The emissions reductions from the latest OTC consumer products rule update 

used information developed by CARB for its 2006 amendments. The OTC estimated a 4.8 

percent reduction of the total consumer products inventory for states that included CARB’s 

ban of chlorinated toxic compounds in brake cleaners, and an estimated 3.3 percent 

reduction of the total consumer products inventory for states that did not include this ban.

States reported VOC emissions from consumer products inventory in two different 

manners – using an aggregated SCC or subcategory SCCs, as follows:

Aggregated SCC: 24-60-000-000 Consumer Products, All Products

24-65-000-000 Consumer Products, All Products

Disaggregated SCCs: 24-60-100-000 Consumer Products, Personal Care Products

24-60-200-000 Consumer Products, Household Products

24-60-400-000 Consumer Products, Auto Aftermarket Products

24-60-500-000 Consumer Products, Coatings

24-60-600-000 Consumer Products, Adhesives and Sealants

24-60-800-000 Consumer Products, FIFRA Products

24-60-900-000 Consumer Products, Misc. Products

The reductions shown above were applied to the above SCCs based on each state’s 

adoption of the various rules and amendments as well as the decision with respect to the 

ban on chlorinated toxic compounds used in brake cleaners. States were polled to 

determine whether they have adopted a rule that would achieve reductions equivalent to 

the OTC 2006 recommendations and whether the estimated reduction in VOC emissions 

should be applied in 2017 and 2020. For the 2001 OTC rule, some states adopted the rule 

prior to 2007 and have already accounted for the reductions attributable to the OTC 2001 

rule in their 2007 inventories. Other states had compliance dates after 2007 and the effect 

of the OTC 2001 rule was not accounted for in their 2007 inventory. None of the states 

have accounted for the OTC 2006 rule in their 2007 inventories. State-by-state

recommendations to account for both the OTC 2001 and 2006 consumer products rules are 

shown in Exhibit 4.7.

4.4.5 OTC Model Rules for Mobile Equipment Repair and Refinishing

The USEPA promulgated a national rule in 1998 (40CFR, Part 59, Subpart B) to limit the 

VOC content of coatings usedin the refinishing of automobiles. The federal standards 

were estimated to reduce nationwide emissions of VOC by about 37 percent compared to 

uncontrolled 1998 emissions. The 2002 OTC model rule established requirements for 

using higher efficiency coating application equipment, such as high volume-low pressure 

paint guns, using spray gun cleaning equipment that minimizes solvent loss, and enclosed 

spray gun cleaning. The Federal VOC limits on the paints was maintained in the model 

rule. An incremental control effectiveness of 38 percent was estimated for the OTC 2001 

model rule (post-1998 federal standard emissions). 
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 47

The 2009 OTC model rule for Motor Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Non-assembly Line 

Coating Operations (2009 OTC MVME model rule) seeks to limit the VOC content in 

coatings and cleaning solvents used in motor vehicle and mobile equipment non-assembly 

line coating operations. The 2009 OTC MVME model rule is an update of the 2002 OTC 

MERR model rule. The OTC developed the 2009 OTC MVME Model Rule using the 

CARB 2005 Suggested Control Measure (SCM) for Automotive Coatings as a guideline. 

The CARB 2005 SCM estimated a 65 percent reduction in VOC emissions from 2002 

CARB baseline emissions, which are post-1998 federal standard emissions. Similar 

reductions of 65 percent are expected from implementation of the 2009 OTC MVME 

Model Rule. 

A few OTC states adopted the 2002 OTC model rule and accounted for the 38 percent 

reduction in the 2007 MANEVU+VA inventory. Other states adopted the 2002 OTC 

model rules after 2007, so the reduction was not included in 2007 but was included in the 

2017/2020 “on-the-books” inventory. Still other states have not yet adopted the 2002 OTC 

model rule. Exhibit 4.8 summarizes the percent reductions that will be applied based on 

the adoption status of each state:

4.4.6 OTC Model Rules for Portable Fuel Containers 

In 2001, the OTC developed a model rule to control VOC emissions from portable fuel 

containers. The 2001 model rule was based on the technical work conducted by California 

Air Resources Board (CARB) for developing California’s 2000 fuel container rule. 

Several, but not all, of the MANEVU+VA states adopted regulations which became 

effective prior to 2007. 

After OTC developed its model rule in 2001, CARB realized that its original study and 

rule had some defects and decided to conduct further studies and research on fuel 

containers. Based on its new studies, CARB revised its rule twice. In 2006, the OTC 

developed a second model rule for PFCs to reflect the CARB revisions. Thereafter, 

USEPA developed a federal rule in 2007 which included, among other things, 

requirements for portable fuel containers equivalent to OTC’s 2006 requirements. 

The federal requirements became effective on January 1, 2009. States have analyzed the 

federal rule and determined that the federal rule has requirements that are essentially 

equivalent to the OTC 2006 model rule. These new federal requirements will reduce 

hydrocarbon emissions from uncontrolled fuel containers by approximately 75 percent. 

Assuming a 10-year turnover to compliant cans, only 10 percent of the existing inventory 

of PFCs will comply with the new requirements in 2010. Therefore, only 10 percent of the 

full emission benefit estimated by USEPA will occur by 2010 – the incremental reduction 

will be about 7.5 percent in 2010. In 2013, there will be a 40 percent turnover to compliant 

cans, resulting in an incremental reduction of about 60 percent. By 2017, the will be 80 

percent penetration to compliant PFCs, resulting in an incremental reduction of 58 percent 

in 2018. By 2020, there will be 100 percent penetration to compliant PFCs, resulting in an 

incremental reduction of 75 percent in 2020.

The reductions apply to the following SCCs:

25-01-011-xxx Residential PFCs

24-01-012-xxx Commercial PFCs

States were polled to determine the status of PFC regulations in each state. Some states 

have adopted a rule that would achieve reductions equivalent to the 2001 or 2006 OTC 

rules. Other states will rely exclusively on the Federal rule. State-by-state

recommendations to account for the OTC and federal PFC rules are shown in Exhibit 4.10.

4.4.7 OTC Model Rule for Solvent Cleaning

The OTC model rule establishes hardware and operating requirements for specified vapor 

cleaning machines, and solvent volatility limits and operating practices for cold cleaners. 

An incremental control effectiveness of 66 percent was estimated for the OTC model rule 

relative to the base case. The reductions apply SCCs in the 24-15-xxx-xxx series 

(Degreasing All Industries and Processes). States were polled to determine whether they 

have adopted a rule that would achieve reductions equivalent to the 2001 OTC 

recommendations and whether the estimated reduction in VOC emissions should be 

applied in 2017 and 2020. Many states adopted the rule prior to 2007 and have already 

accounted for the reductions attributable to the rule in their 2007 inventories. Other states 

had compliance dates after 2007 and the effect of the rule was not accounted for in their 

2007 inventory. State-by-state recommendations to account for the solvent cleaning rule 

are shown in Exhibit 4.11.

4.4.8 OTC Model Rules for ICI Boilers

In Resolution 06-02, the OTC Commissioners recommended that OTC member states

pursue as necessary and appropriate state-specific rulemakings or other implementation

methods to establish emission reduction percentages, emission rates or technologies for ICI

boilers based on guidelines that varied by boiler size and fuel type. 

States were polled to determine whether they have adopted a rule that would achieve 

reductions equivalent to the 2006 OTC recommendations and whether the estimated 

reduction in NOx emissions should be applied in 2017 and 2020. All but one state

indicated that they have not adopted rules for area sources equivalent to the 2006 OTC 

recommendations. New Jersey specified that they have post-2007 ICI boiler rules that 

reduce NOx emissions and provided the estimates of the reductions in NOx emissions by 

SCC resulting from boiler tuneup requirements, as shown in Exhibit 4.12: 
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Other states indicated that they will likely depend on USEPA national rule for possible 

inclusion in the BOTW inventory. OTC Resolution 10-01 (June, 2010) called on USEPA

for national regulations for ICI boilers. The guidelines from OTC Resolution 06-02 shown 

in Exhibit 4.13 were used to estimate potential area source NOx reductions for the “what 

if” control scenario for all states in the MANE-VU+VA inventory except New Jersey and 

Virginia.

of similar size.” The OTC Commissioners have not yet recommended an emission rate or percent 

reduction for EGUs. As a result, no reductions for ICI boilers > 250 mmBtu/hour were included in 

the potential controls inventory.
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 53

Since the above guidelines vary by boiler size and fuel type, the specific percent reduction

applied to an area source category depends on the SCC and design capacity of the source.

The SCC identifies the fuel type (for example, SCC 21-02-004-xxx describes distillate 

oilfired industrial boilers, SCC 21-02-006-xxx describes natural gas-fired industrial 

boilers). The area source inventory does not contain any information on the sizes of the 

units included in the inventories. To apportion area source emissions to the boiler size 

ranges listed above, we used data from an Oak Ridge National Laboratory study (EEA 

2005). We used the national estimates of boiler capacity by size range to calculate the 

percentage of total boiler capacity in each size range. Since the Oak Ridge report 

distinguished between industrial boilers and commercial/institutional boilers, we 

developed separate profiles for industrial boilers and for commercial/institutional boilers. 

We used these boiler size profiles to calculate weighted average percent reductions 

industrial boilers by fuel type and commercial/institutional boilers by fuel type, as follows:

34.5 percent reduction in NOx emissions from industrial boilers, all fuel types

28.1 percent reduction in NOx emissions from commercial/institutional boilers, all 

fuel types

Appendix I contains the data used to develop the NOx control factors for area source ICI 

boilers. 

4.4.9 OTC Model Rule for New, Small, Natural Gas-fired Boilers

The provisions of this model rule limit NOx emissions from new natural gas-fired ICI and 

residential boilers, steam generators, process heaters, and water heaters greater than 75,000 

BTUs and less than 5.0 million BTUs. This model rule may be implemented as a 

manufacturing restriction, a sales restriction, a use restriction, or a combination of these 

restrictions. Each implementing state agency will choose the entities to regulate after 

consideration of the agency’s compliance assurance and enforcement practices and 

policies. 

The emission limits of this model rule were developed from requirements now in effect in 

certain jurisdictions, including: (1) San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Rule 

4308 for boilers, steam generators, process heaters and water heaters with maximum rated 

heat input capacity equal to or greater than 75,000 Btu/hr and up to but less than 2.0 

million Btu/hr; (2) San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Rule 4307 for gasfired and liquid fuel-fired boilers, steam generators, and process heaters with maximum 

rated capacity of 2.0 million Btu/hr up to and including 5.0 million Btu/hr; and (3) similar 

rules adopted by other California Air Pollution Control Districts and the State of Texas.
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 54

Since the OTC model rule is based on SJVAPCD Rules 4307 and 4308, one method for 

estimating potential NOx reductions for the OTC states from both Rule 4307 and Rule 

4308 is to compare the natural gas usage in the San Joaquin Valley to the natural gas usage 

in the OTC states and calculate the proportional NOx reductions. 

The SJV 4308 Rule, Final Staff Report estimated NOx reductions of 2.0 annual average 

tons per day (730 tons per year), and the 2008 SJV 4307 Rule Proposal estimated NOx 

reductions of 1.15 annual average tons per day (420 tons per year). The total reduction 

from both rules was estimated to be 3.15 tons per day (1,150 tons per year) after a 15-year 

period for complete turnover to compliant equipment. These SJV data were used to 

calculate a ton per year emission reduction, assuming implementation begins in 2014, as 

summarized in Exhibit 4.14 and further documented in Appendix J.

4.4.10 MANE-VU Low Sulfur Fuel Oil Strategy

MANE-VU developed a low sulfur fuel oil strategy to help states develop Regional Haze 

SIPs (MANE_VU 2007). The sulfur in fuel oil recommendations are shown in Exhibit 

4.15 and vary by state, type of fuel oil, and year of implementation.

Each state was polled and asked to provide guidance as to when, if at all, the MANE-VU 

strategy would be incorporated into their state rules. States were also asked to provide the 

2007 sulfur contents for each fuel type by county in order to calculate the percent reduction 

in emissions for the future years. Three states (MD, NJ, and NY) have adopted or are 

committed to adopting the strategy into their rules. The reductions for these three states 

were accounted for in the “existing controls” inventory. All other jurisdictions indicated 

that not enough regulatory development progress has been made to include the reductions 

in future years with absolute certainty. The potential reductions for these states were 

accounted for in the “potential new controls” inventory. One state (VA) has no plans to 

adopt the low sulfur fuel oil strategy. The percent reductions by fuel type and county are 

contained in Appendix K.

5.0 NONEGU POINT SOURCE CONTROL FACTORS

Control factors were developed to estimate post-2007 emission reductions resulting from 

on-the-books regulations and proposed regulations/actions. Control factors were 

considered for the following national and regional measures:

Federal Rules Affecting NonEGU Point Sources

Control Technique Guidelines

OTC Model Rules 

These control programs are discussed in the following subsections. The control factors 

used for nonEGU point sources are provided in V3_3 NonEGU_07_17_20.xlsx.

5.1 FEDERAL ACTIONS AFFECTING NONEGU POINT SOURCES

USEPA made available its 2020 emissions projections associated with its 2005-based v4 

modeling platform (USEPA 2010a). These categories, and how they were accounted for in 

the MANE-VU+VA emission projection inventories, are described below: 

MACT Standards - USEPA developed guidance for estimating VOC and NOx

emission changes from MACT Rules (USEPA 2007b). We reviewed the guidance 

to identify nonEGU source controls associated with MACT standards for 

controlling HAPs. The information concerning MACT compliance periods was 

used to determine whether the MACT standard resulted in post-2007 emission 

reductions. Because major source categories had a compliance period of 2007 or 

earlier, we assumed that the emission reductions from the MACT standard should 

be reflected in the baseline year and not as an additional post- 2007 credit. The 

only exception to the above discussion of area source MACT standards pertains to 

the recently promulgated rules for reciprocating internal combustion engines. 

USEPA made available an estimate of the percent reduction in emissions 

attributable to the RICE MACT rule in 2012 and 2014 (USEPA 2010b). These 

reductions by SCC are shown in Exhibit 5.1. The USEPA 2014 estimates were 

used for the MANE-VU+VA 2017, 2020 and 2025 inventories. 

Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters MACT 

Standard - USEPA’ s 2020 control factor file identified a number of solid fuelburning SCCs for which they estimated an 87% reduction in both PM10 and 

PM2.5. These were used for 2025 also for the affected SCCs.

Petroleum refinery enforcement settlements - For the facilities identified by 

USEPA located in New Jersey and Pennsylvania we applied post-2007 estimated 

reductions for NOx, PM10, PM2.5, and SO2 to affected units. 

5.2 RECENT CONTROL TECHNIQUE GUIDELINES 

Control Techniques Guidelines (CTGs) are documents issued by USEPA to provide states 

with the USEPA’s recommendation on how to control the emissions of VOC from a 

specific type of product or source category in an ozone nonattainment area. USEPA issued 

new or updated CTGs for 13 VOC categories in 3 groups during 2006, 2007 and 2008

(USEPA 2008b). The categories are:

2006 CTGs

 Flat Wood Paneling Coatings

 Industrial Cleaning Solvents

 Flexible Package Printing

 Lithographic Printing

 Letterpress Printing 

2007 CTGs

 Large Appliance Surface Coating

 Metal Furniture Coatings

 Paper Film and Foil Coatings

2008 CTGs

 Miscellaneous Metal Parts Coatings

 Plastic Parts Coatings 

 Auto and Light-duty Truck Assembly Coatings

 Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing

 Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesives

States indicated that they expected very little additional reductions from these new or 

amended CTGs. Therefore, no emission reductions were included in the inventory.

5.3 OTC MODEL RULES FOR NONEGUs

The OTC developed NOx control measures for industrial, commercial, and institutional 

(ICI) boilers and distributed generation units in 2001 (OTC 2001). We reviewed the 

OTC’s status reports to identify states status in adopting the OTC 2001 model rules (OTC 

2009). Most states have adopted the OTC model rules with compliance dates in 2007 or 

earlier. As a result, we assumed that the emission reductions from the 2001 OTC model 

rules for nonEGUs are already reflected in the 2007 inventory and no post- 2007 

reductions were applied. 
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 60

In 2006, the OTC introduced model rules (OTC 2007) for one nonEGU VOC source 

category (adhesives/sealants) and new/more stringent requirements for several NOx source 

categories (asphalt production plants, cement kilns, glass/fiberglass furnaces, and

industrial, commercial, and institutional {ICI} boilers). 

These model rules and recommendations provided a consistent framework for air pollution 

regulation throughout the region. In addition, MANE-VU provided recommendations to 

require low sulfur home heating, distillate and residul fuel oil. Exhibit 5-2 briefly 

describes the OTC and MANE-VU control measures affecting point sources that have been 

recommended for adoption by the states in the OTR. Recommendations for EGUs are not 

addressed in this section since the projection of EGU emissions is being accomplished by 

ERTAC under a separate agreement. 

Individual states are in various stages of adopting the OTC recommendations into the rules 

and SIPs. We reviewed the OTC’s status reports to identify each state’s adoption status 

(OTC 2009, OTC 2011a, OTC2011b). To obtain further clarification, states were polled to 

determine whether they have adopted a rule that would achieve reductions equivalent to 

the OTC model rule or recommendation and whether credit for each rule was already 

accounted for in the 2007 inventory. 

Not all states have adopted all rules. In order to evaluate the impact of both the rules 

currently in place as well as the potential adoption of all control measures by all states, the 

state Air Directors specified that two emission control scenarios should be developed. 

Existing Controls - this scenario represents the best estimates for the future year,

accounting for all in-place controls that are fully adopted into federal or individual 

state regulations or SIPs. 

Potential New OTC Controls – this scenario accounts for all of the emission 

reductions from the existing control scenario plus new state or regional measures 

that are under consideration by the OTC or individual states. This is a “what if”

scenario that assumes that all states in the MANE-VU+VA region except Virginia 

will adopt all new OTC control measures under consideration by 2017. It does not 

include any potential new federal control measures that are under consideration. 

The following paragraphs describe the control factors applied for each control measure by 

state and future year.

5.3.1 OTC 2006 Model Rule for Adhesives and Sealants

The 2006 OTC model rule is intended to achieve VOC emission reductions from adhesive 

application sources. The OTC 2006 model rule for adhesives and sealants is based on the 

reasonably available control technology (RACT) and best available retrofit control 

technology (BARCT) determination by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) 

developed in 1998. The emission reduction benefit estimation methodology is based on 

information developed and used by CARB for their RACT/BARCT determination in 1998. 

The vast majority of the emissions regulated by this rule are in the area source inventory.

For point sources, we first identified those sources applying adhesives and sealants (using 

the SCC of 4-02-007-xx, adhesives application). Next, we reviewed the 2007 inventory to 

determine whether these sources had existing capture and control systems. Most of the 

sources did not have control information in the NIF database. However, several sources 

reported capture and destruction efficiencies in the 70 to 99 percent range, with a few 

sources reporting capture and destruction efficiencies of 99+ percent. Sources with 

existing control systems that exceeded an 85 percent overall capture and destruction 

efficiency would comply with the OTC 2006 model rule provision for add-on air pollution 

control equipment; therefore, no additional reductions were calculated for these sources. 

For point sources without add-on control equipment, we used a 64.4 percent reduction 

based on the CARB determination.

States were polled to determine whether they have adopted a rule that would achieve 

reductions equivalent to the 2006 OTC model rule and whether the estimated reduction in 

VOC emissions should be applied in 2017 and 2020. New Hampshire indicated that they 

have no existing rule in place and no reductions should be applied. Virginia indicated that 

reductions from existing rules only apply in three regions: 

Northern Virginia (Arlington, Alexandria, Manassas, Manassas Park, Prince 

William, Loudon, Fairfax, Fairfax City, Falls Church, and Stafford), 

Fredericksburg (Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania), and 

Richmond (Charles City, Colonial Heights, Chesterfield, Hopewell, Hanover, 

Petersburg, Henrico, City of Richmond, and Prince George). 

All other states have existing rules in place that will require VOC reductions before 2017. 

Exhibit 5.3 shows the reduction that were applied by state under both the existing controls 

inventory and the “what if” inventory.

5.3.2 OTC 2009/2010 Model Rule for Large Storage Tanks

The OTC model rule addresses high vapor pressure VOCs, such as gasoline and crude oil, 

stored in large aboveground stationary storage tanks, which are typically located at 

refineries, terminals and pipeline breakout stations. The OTC model rule is based on 

recent revisions to New Jersey’s VOC storage tank rules located at N.J.A.C. 7:27-16.2. 

The OTC model rules requires: 1) retrofiting floating roof tanks to reduce emissions from 

deck fittings; 2) retrofitting external floating roof tanks with domes; 3) controlling roof 

landing losses; and 4) adding controls for degassing and interior tank cleaning. New Jersey 

estimated reductions for tanks located in New Jersey would total approximately 2,000 tons 

per year by 2020. In making these estimates, New Jersey developed the following VOC 

percent reduction estimates for the following categories of storage tanks:

Only New Jersey has existing rules in place, and the above percent reductions were applied 

to the existing controls inventory. 

For all other states with affected sources, the potential reductions from the OTC rule were 

applied in the “what if” inventory. 

5.3.3 OTC 2006 Model Rule for Asphalt Production Plants

The OTC recommended that member states pursue state-specific rulemakings or other 

implementation methods that would achieve a 35 percent reduction in NOx emissions. 

States were polled to determine whether they have adopted a rule that would achieve 

reductions equivalent to the 2006 OTC model rule and whether the estimated reduction in 

NOx emissions should be applied in 2017 and 2020. Only Maine, New Jersey and New 

York indicated that the reductions should be applied. A 35 percent reduction in NOx 

emissions for fuel burning SCCs in the 3-05-002-xx series was applied to the existing 

controls inventory for Maine, New Jersey, and New York. 

All other states indicated that the NOx reductions should not be applied in the existing 

controls inventory. The 35 percent reduction for other states was applied in the “what if”

inventory.

5.3.4 OTC 2006 Model Rule for Cement Manufacturing Plants

Cement kilns are located in Maine, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The 

OTC recommended state-specific rulemakings or other implementation methods that 

would result in about a 60 percent reduction in uncontrolled levels NOx emissions or meet 

the following emission limits based on kiln type: 

Wet: 3.88 lb/ton clinker

Long Dry: 3.44 lb/ton clinker

Preheater: 2.36 lb/ton clinker

Precalciner: 1.52 lb/ton clinker
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 65

Cement kilns are already subject to NOx controls as part of Phase I of the NOx SIP call or 

state-specific RACT requriements. The emission reductions resulting from the NOx SIP 

call or RACT requirements are already accounted for in the 2007 inventory. 

The following methods were used to calculate the additional reductions from the OTC 

2006 Control Measure in each state:

Maine has a single kiln that was converted from an existing wet process cement 

kiln to a dry process (preheater/precalciner type) kiln and underwent a BACT 

review around 2005. The permitted emission rate is 1,533 tons per year with an 

annual capacity of 766,500 tons of clinker (e.g., about 4 lbs/ton of clinker). Maine 

does not plan on any additional controls, so no incremental reductions were applied 

for the either the existing controls or “what if” inventory. 

Maryland indicated controls will become effective in 2011 for the two facilities in 

the state. Maryland specified a 25 percent reduction for the Holcim facility and a 

40 percent reduction for the Lehigh facility for the existing controls inventory. No 

reductions were specified for the two kilns at the Essroc facility for the existing 

controls inventory. No additional reductions were specified for any cement kiln for 

the “what if” inventory. 

New York three cement plants: Each has a different RACT requirement effective 

7/1/2012. The three limits are; 6.59 lb/ton, 2.88 lb/ton and 1.5 lb/tom (30 day 

rolling average). For this inventory, we have assumed that these post-2007 RACT 

requirements have an incremental control efficiency of 40 percent and we have 

applied this reduction in the existing controls inventory. No additional reductions 

were specified for any cement kiln for the “what if” inventory. 

Pennsylvania provided kiln-specific projected future year NOx emissions for 2017 

and 2020 based on existing post-2007 state requirements. A kiln-specific control 

factor was calculated based on the ratio of the future year emissions to the 2007 

emissions and was applied for the existing controls inventory. No additional 

reductions were specified for any cement kiln for the “what if” inventory. 

Virginia has a single preheater/precalciner kiln that is not located in the OTR. 

Virginia does not plan on any additional controls since the facility is not in the 

OTR, so no incremental reductions were applied for the either the existing controls 

or “what if “ inventories.

5.3.5 OTC 2006 Model Rule for Glass and Fiberglass Furnaces

The OTC recommended state-specific rulemakings or other implementation methods to 

achieve an approximately 85 percent reduction in NOx emissions from uncontrolled levels. 

Emission reductions for glass and fiberglass furnaces were calculated using the 

methodology previously developed and documented in the OTC report (OTC 2007). Glass 

and fiberglass furnaces are located in Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, 

Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The following methods were used to calculate the additional 

reductions from the OTC 2006 Control Measure in each state:

Maryland indicated that a 48 percent reduction should be applied to the single glass 

manufacturing facility in Maryland. 

Massachusetts indicated that they have a single facility with two furnaces furnaces; 

one furnace installing oxy-firing at 1.3 lb NOx per ton of glass, and the other at 5.3 

lb/ton. The facility will be complying with EPA NSR enforcement Consent Decree 

by 2017. Massachusetts indicated that plant-wide emissions are expected to 

decrease by 35 percent in 2017 and 2020. 

New Jersey indicated that a 50 percent reduction in NOx emissions should be 

applied to glass and fiberglass furnaces in 2013, 2017, 2020 and 2025.

New York did not provide guidance regarding glass and fiberglass furnaces. We 

used the percent reductions developed and documented in the previous round of 

emission projections developed for MARAMA (MARAMA 2007). An 

incremental control efficiency of 70 percent was used for New York glass and 

fiberglass furnaces in that inventory.

Virginia indicated that they have no plans to implement the OTC measure, and no 

NOx reductions were applied to glass/fiberglass furnaces in Virginia. 

All of the above reductions for glass and fiberglass furnaces were accounted for in the 

existing controls inventory. No additional reductions were specified for any glass or 

fiberglass furnace for the “what if” inventory. 

5.3.6 OTC 2006 Model Rule for ICI Boilers

In Resolution 06-02, the OTC recommended that OTC member states pursue as necessary 

and appropriate state-specific rulemakings or other implementation methods to establish 

emission reduction percentages, emission rates or technologies for ICI boilers based on 

guidelines that varied by boiler size and fuel type.. 
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 67

States were polled to determine whether they have adopted a rule that would achieve 

reductions equivalent to the 2006 OTC recommendations and whether the estimated 

reduction in NOx emissions should be applied in 2017 and 2020. Most states have not 

adopted rules equivalent to the 2006 OTC recommendations. These states indicated that 

they will likely to depend on USEPA national rule for possible inclusion in the BOTW 

inventory. Specifically, the OTC Resolution 10-01 (June, 2010) called on USEPA for 

national regulations for ICI boilers.

Three states specified that that have adopted post-2007 ICI boiler rules to reduce NOx 

emissions. The percent reductions for ICI boilers were for these states were calculated as 

describe in the following paragraphs.

New Jersey provided NOx percent reductions that varied by heat input rate and fuel/boiler 

type and included an 80 percent rule effectiveness adjustment, as shown in Exhibit 5.4. 

The NIF file submitted by New Jersey for this project did not include the boiler design 

capacity. This data gap was filled using the boiler design capacities previously developed 

for the OTC study in 2006, if available; otherwise the SCC description was used to assign 

a default boiler design capacity. No additional reductions were specified for the “what if” 

inventory for New Jersey.

Page 68

New York specified that a 50 percent reduction should be applied in the existing controls 

inventory for all boilers with greater than 25 mmBtu/hour design capacity. The NIF file 

submitted by New York for this project did not include the boiler design capacity. This 

data gap was filled using the boiler design capacities previously developed for the OTC 

study in 2006, if available; otherwise the SCC description was used to assign a default 

boiler design capacity. No additional reductions were specified for the “what if” inventory 

for New York.

New Hampshire specified that reductions should be applied to boilers in the 50-100 and 

100-250 mmBtu/hour size ranges. We used the methodology previously developed and 

documented in the OTC report (OTC 2007). Reductions vary by size range and fuel type. 

State-by-state emission reduction percentages were developed by comparing the state 

emission limit in lbs/mmBTU to the OTC 2006 recommended limit. There are no coalfired ICI boilers in New Hampshire. For other fossil fuels used in New Hampshire, the 

NOx percent reduction was as follows:

Natural gas, 50-100 mmBtu/hr: 50% reduction

Natural gas, 100-250 mmBtu/hr: 0% reduction

Residual/distillate oil, 50-100 mmBtu/hr: 33.3% reduction

Residual/distillate oil, 100-250 mmBtu/hr: 33.3% reduction

No additional reductions were specified for the “what if” inventory for New Hampshire.

All other states do not have existing rules that would result in post-2007 emission 

reductions. These states indicated that they will likely to depend on USEPA national rule 

for possible inclusion in the BOTW inventory. Specifically, the OTC Resolution 10-01 

(June, 2010) called on USEPA for national regulations for ICI boilers. However, in order 

to estimate the potential NOx emission reductions for the “what if” control scenario, the 

guidelines from OTC Resolution 06-02 shown in Exhibit 5.5 were used to estimate 

potential NOx reductions in the “what if” inventory for those states without existing rules, 

except Virginia.

>250 **   ** 

* Resolution 06-02 did not specify a percent reduction for coal; for modeling purposes, the same 

percent reduction specified for #4/#6 fuel oil was used for coal.

** Resolution 06-02 specified the reduction for > 250mmBtu/hour boilers to be the “same as EGUs 

of similar size.” The OTC Commissioners have not yet recommended an emission rate or percent 

reduction for EGUs. As a result, no reductions for ICI boilers > 250 mmBtu/hour were included in 

the potential controls inventory.

Since the above guidelines vary by boiler size and fuel type, the specific percent reduction 

applied to an individual source depends on the SCC and design capacity of the source. The 

SCC identifies the fuel type, while the design capacity identifies the boiler size. In many 

cases, the design capacities in the MANE-VU NIF database were missing. The following 

hierarchy was used in filling in gaps where design capacities were missing:

Use the design capacity field from the NIF EU table, if available;

Use the design capacities provided by agencies to fill in the data gaps in the 

MANE-VU 2002 inventory;

Use design capacity as reported either the Unit Description field in the NIF EU

table or the Process Description field from the NIF EP table, if available;

Use design capacity from the source’s Title V permit, if the Title V permit was 

online;

Use the SCC description to determine the design capacity (for example, SCC 1-02-

006-01 describes a >100 mmBtu/hr natural gas-fired boiler, SCC 1-02-006-02

describes a 10-100 mmBtu/hr natural gas-fired boiler).

After performing this gap-filling exercise, each boiler was assigned to one of the size 

ranges and fuel types shown in the above table. The emission reduction percentages by 

boiler size range and fuel type were then applied.

5.4 FUEL OIL SULFUR LIMITS 

MANE-VU developed a low sulfur fuel oil strategy to help states develop Regional Haze 

SIPs (MANE-VU 2007). As previously discussed in Section 4.5, Each state was polled 

and asked to indicate when, if at all, the MANE-VU strategy would be incorporated into 

their state rules. States were also asked to provide the 2007 sulfur contents for each fuel 

type by county in order to calculate the percent reduction in emissions for the future years. 

Three states (MD, NJ, and NY) have adopted or are committed to adopting the strategy 

into their rules. The reductions for these three states were accounted for in the “existing 
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 70

controls” inventory. All other jurisdictions indicated that not enough regulatory 

development progress has been made to include the reductions in future years with 

absolute certainty. The potential reductions for these states were accounted for in the 

“potential new controls” inventory. One state (VA) has no plans to adopt the low sulfur 

fuel oil strategy. The percent reductions by fuel type and county are contained in 

Appendix K. 

5.5 STATE-SPECIFIC NONEGU CONTROL FACTORS 

The following state-specific nonEGU control factors were provided:

Bellefield Boiler Plant, Allegheny County. Allegheny County indicated that this 

facility changed their fuel source from coal to natural gas in July 2009 and future 

year emissions were changed to reflect the fuel switch. 

USS Clairton Works, Allegheny County. The facility will remove Batteries 7-9 

and have Battery C operational by 2013, resulting in a change in PM emissions in 

2013. Also, USS Clairton Works will remove Batteries 1-3 and have Battery D 

operational in 2015, resulting in a change in PM emissions in 2017 and 2020. 

Chrysler, Delaware. The Chrysler facility (ID 1000300128) shut down in 2009. 

Delaware specified that only a 25 percent reduction should be taken for all 

pollutants since some emissions will be banked for future use by other sources. 

O S G Ship Management (ID 1000500093), Delaware. Delaware provided 

source-specific growth factors and percent reductions in VOC emissions for 2017 

and 2020 from the lightering operations at O S G Ship Management (ID 

1000500093).

Control Technology Guidance (CTG) Documents, Delaware. Delaware 

determined that VOC emission reductions from new CTG recommendations would 

be very small. Although the new CTGs set up new recommendations for higher 

control efficiencies, the actual VOC reductions would be minimum, if not none, 

because most DE’s existing facilities are not affected by the new requirements and 

emissions from those facilities are relatively small (based on 2002 inventory). 

Unit Shutdowns, Delaware. Delaware identified several emission units that have 

shut down at the following facilities: Dow Reichhold Specialty Latex (ID 

1000100016), SPI Poly-Ols (ID 1000300426), and Invistas (ID 1000500002). 

Emissions for all pollutants were set to zero for these units. 
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 71

Dover Air Force Base, Delaware. Delaware identified four boilers at Dover Air 

Force Base (ID 1000100001) that ceased using fuel oil in March 2010. SO2 

emissions for these boilers were set to zero. 

Premcor Refinery NOx Plantwide Cap, Delaware. The refinery was sold to the 

Delaware City Refining Company and an agreement was reached with DNREC's 

Secretary that allows plant-wide applicability limit (cap) for NOx. To project 

emissions, as well as for modeling purposes, Delaware decided to spread out the 

NOx-cap to each stack. Delaware estimated a plantwide reduction of 10.05 percent 

in 2013 and 41.22 percent in both 2017 and 2020. 

Wausau Paper Specialty Products, Maine. The Wausau Paper Specialty 

Products facility (ID 2300700007) closed in 2009. All emissions were set to zero 

for this facility in the 2017 and 2020 projection inventories.

2009 NJ Rule for NOx for Municipal Solid Waste Incinerators, New Jersey. 

This rule will achieve a 27 percent reduction from one facility - Camden County 

Energy Recovery Associates, L.P. (ID 3400751614).

NJ rule for VOC Storage Tanks, New Jersey. New Jersey provided expected 

VOC emission reductions resulting from post-2007 rules for VOC storage tanks. 

For refinery floating roof storage tanks (SCC 4-03-011-xx), the reductions are 75 

percent for 2013, 82 percent for 2017, and 85 percent for 2020. For bulk terminal 

tanks (SCC 4-04-001-xx), the reductions are 20 percent for 2013, 40 percent for 

2017, and 50 percent for 2020. For pipeline breakout stations (SCCs 4-04-002-xx 

and 4-06-005-xx), the reductions are 26 percent for 2013, 52 percent for 2017, and 

65 percent for 2020. 

International Paper – Franklin Mill, Virginia. The International Paper –

Franklin Mill (ID 5109300006) closed effective 2010. All emissions were set to 

zero for this facility in the 2017 and 2020 projection inventories.

6.0 NONROAD MODEL CATEGORIES

The USEPA’s NONROAD model estimates emissions from equipment such as 

recreational marine vessels, recreational land-based vehicles, farm and construction 

machinery, lawn and garden equipment, aircraft ground support equipment (GSE) and rail 

maintenance equipment. This equipment is powered by diesel, gasoline, compressed 

natural gas (CNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) engines. 

The National Mobile Inventory Model (NMIM) was developed by USEPA to develop 

county-level emission estimates for certain types of nonroad equipment. NMIM uses the 

current version the NONROAD model to develop emission estimates and was used to 

develop the projection inventories discussed here. The NMIM national county database 

contains monthly input data to reflect county specific fuel parameters and temperatures. 

Most of the work associated with executing NMIM involved updating the NMIM county 

database with State-specific information. For this analysis, we used the NMIM2008 

software (version NMIM20090504), the National County Database (version 

NCD20090531), and NONROAD2008a (July 2009 version) as a starting point. Changes 

were made to the NCD20090531 based on review of data by the States. The purpose of 

this review was to create a new NCD specific to the 2007 base year model runs and the 

three projection year model runs. Changes were made to a copy of the NCD20090531 to 

create a new NCD used for the emission inventory runs. That NCD is called 

NCD20090910MARAMA. 

6.1 STATE REVIEW OF NMIM FUEL CHARACTERISTICS 

For the 2017 and 2020 projection year inventories, AMEC provided data on fuel 

characteristics from the NCD20090531 to the States to determine if they had additional 

changes required for the fuel characteristics for future year inventories. None of the States 

had changes to the fuel characteristics, except for CT which provided revisions to the six 

fuels that they had provided for the 2007 base year inventory to account for a number of 

changes including changes to RVP and fuel sulfur.

Connecticut provided updated values for the volume and market share components for 

ethanol which is used by NMIM to determine the oxygen percentage for NONROAD runs. 

Complete data replacement records were obtained for CT for the following tables: gasoline 

inputs, diesel inputs, countymonthyear inputs, and datasource inputs. CT added six new 

fuels which were given NRGasolineIds of 5000-5005 inclusive. Data was provided for 

both the base year (2007) and projection years (2013, 2017, and 2020).
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 73

The diesel fuel sulfur values for the projection years were maintained at their default 

values for all other States since they matched the USEPA recommended values.

6.2 USE OF EXTERNAL FILES IN THE PROJECTION YEAR NMIM 

RUNS

For the 2007 base year inventory (MARAMA 2012), revisions were made to the allocation 

files for several categories. These files are used to allocate emissions calculated at the state 

level down to the county level and to add entries to the countynrfile NCD table. States 

were asked if they would like to revise this table for future years. No revisions were 

recommended. Thus external files used for the 2007 base year runs were used in the runs 

for the projection years.

6.3 NMIM RUN SPECIFICATIONS

The specifications for each NMIM run were developed for groups of States within the 

MANE-VU+VA region. All States except for CT, NY, NJ and PA were run together for 

each year. CT was run alone for 2007, 2017, and 2020 because changes were requested for 

the base year. NY, NJ and PA were run together for each individual projection year. The 

settings for each specification panel within the NMIM model for the projection year runs 

are detailed below.

Description: A short descriptive term for the run was entered for each specific run.

Geography: The “county” option was selected for each run. All counties within the 

State were selected.

Time: Every month in the Months check box area was selected. On the time panel, 

the year (2017 or 2020) was selected in the drop down box and added to the year 

selections area. With the exception of the CT, all runs were performed for only one 

year. The Use Yearly Weather Data check box was selected; however, year 

specific data was not available within NMIM for the projection years. The only 

years included within the NMIM model for NCD20090531 are 1999-2008 

inclusive. If the specific year requested is not available, then NMIM uses 20 year 

average data for the estimates. Thus while the Use Yearly Weather Data box was 

checked, since the specific year was not there (except for the CT 2007 base year rerun), the 20 year average data in the countymonthhour table are used. However, 

because the meteorology data for future years will be assumed to be the same as 

was used for 2007, AMEC revised the AverageTemp and AverageRelHumidity 

values in the countymonthhour table of the NCD20090910MARAMA to reflect 

actual 2007 values. Thus the values in that table are 2007 values not 20 year 

average values and thus causes the NMIM model to run with the same data used for 

the 2007 base year runs.

Vehicles/Equipment: Only the nonroad vehicle/equipment area was selected. All 

fuels and all vehicle types were selected for each State run. Aircraft ground support

Page 74

equipment was included in the run specifications but those records were removed 

during post-processing steps.

Fleet: No selections or information was entered in this panel.

Pollutants: Exhaust PM10, PM2.5, and Criteria pollutants (with HC reported as 

VOC) were selected except for CO2.

Advanced features: Only the server and database were selected in this panel.

Output: Under the Geographic Representation panel the County selection was 

made. In the General Output area, a new database was selected on the server for 

the output.

All added external files for use in each State run were placed in the externalfiles directory 

of the NCD. Entries for all external files included were included in the countynrfiles table 

of the NCD.

6.4 REMOVAL OF AIRPORT GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT

The NMIM/NONROAD model calculates emissions from airport ground support 

equipment. As discussed in Section 7 of this TSD, emissions from airport ground support 

equipment is also included in USEPA’s aircraft inventory prepared using the Federal 

Aviation Administration’s Emissions and Dispersion Modeling System (EDMS). 

Correspondence with USEPA indicated that USEPA considers the emissions calculated by 

EDMS to be better than those calculated by NONROAD. For this reason, all emissions 

calculated by NMIM/NONROAD for airport ground support equipment were removed 

from the inventory to avoid double counting. 

6.5 STATE AND STAKEHOLDER REVIEW AND COMMENT

New York state provided the results of their own NONROAD model runs for 2017 and 

2020. These model results were provided by month and were used instead of the NMIM 

model runs made by MACTEC. 

6.6 CHANGES MADE FOR VERSION 3 MODEL RUNS

Two sectors of the inventory were updated in version 3. First, Virginia and New York 

requested that their emissions be recalculated using the information developed through 

Version 2 of the inventory for the MARAMA States. The Virginia reruns were performed 

for all categories except for ground support equipment and for recreational marine vessels. 

Recreational marine vessel emissions for Virginia were calculated along with those for 

other states (see below). Those values replaced the SEMAP supplied values used in 

versions prior to Version 3. In addition, estimates for all sectors of the inventory for New 

York other than ground support equipment and recreational marine vessels were calculated

using NMIM default data for the MARAMA area. New York had originally provided data 

from NONROAD model runs that they performed separately. For Version 3 of the 

inventory, New York emissions were calculated using NMIM runs set up using the same 

criteria as those for other states in earlier versions of the inventory. Both New York and 

Virginia were provided with the opportunity to review fuel characteristics prior to their 

runs. Only Virginia made changes to the fuels, however the only changes that were made 

were to assign alternative default fuels to counties. The fuel characteristics were not 

modified from the NMIM defaults, only the fuel IDs associated with a particular 

county/month combination were changed to another default fuel. Those changes were 

instituted in the NCD developed specifically for MARAMA. New York did not request 

any changes to the default values. In addition, the revisions made to the housing 

population allocation files were instituted for both states.

The second change in version 3 was to modify the recreational marine vessel populations 

for all states except Vermont and Maine. A revised population file was prepared for 

Virginia but not utilized in the version 3 runs. Estimates for Virginia, Vermont and Maine 

were prepared using the growth algorithm built into the NMIM/NONROAD model. For 

all other states, revised population data was estimated for the years 2017 and 2020. EPA 

had recommended that rather than use the default growth algorithm of the model for those 

states that had their 2007 base year data updated for this category, separate population 

estimates for each projection year should be prepared and included in the population files. 

The 2007 population data was provided by the National Marine Manufacturers Association 

(NMMA). Total state populations for each of the three major categories contained in the 

NONROAD model (outboard, inboard/sterndrive and personal watercraft) were provided 

for each state. Because the population files used by the NONROAD model (and thus 

NMIM) were configured with population values for various horsepower categories, AMEC 

(formerly AMEC) determined the fraction of the total for each marine vessel type in each 

horsepower category from the NONROAD default population files. These fractions were 

then used to allocate the total state population obtained from NMMA to the various 

horsepower categories.

The only exception to this was that some states added in data for sailboats. The sailboat 

populations were split among two of the default categories. In addition, New Hampshire 

provided their own revised population file. Their population data for New Hampshire was 

provided by the New Hampshire DMV and is not from NMMA.

AMEC then used the national growth factors supplied in the default NMIM/NONROAD 

model to estimate populations for each year. Each horsepower/population category in the 

2007 population file was grown to either 2017 or 2020 using the ratio between the 2005 
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 76

and 2015 growth factors (to represent growth between 2007 and 2017) and between the 

2005 and 2025 growth factors (to represent growth between 2007 and 2020). Those ratios 

were used to grow the 2007 population to 2017 and 2020 respectively. The only exception 

to this was Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania presented data indicating that there was little 

growth expected during the time periods that were considered and thus maintained the 

2007 population estimates for both 2017 and 2020. 

Pennsylvania presented information showing from historical data that indicated a 

downward trend in the overall motorized pleasure craft population in 6 of the last 9 years. 

The data also indicated that the population was essentially unchanged in the last three years 

due to an adverse economic environment. Populations of all motorized pleasure craft in 

Pennsylvania as tracked by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission showed nearly a 6 

percent decline from 2001 to 2007 or an average annual decline of 1.0 percent over that 

period. Pleasure craft populations remained nearly unchanged from 2008 to 2010. 

As a consequence, they forecaste zero percent growth for pleasure craft is from 2007 to 

2017 and 2007 to 2020. The types of pleasure craft affected by this growth rate are:

2282005010, 2-stroke outboard, 

2282005015, 2-stroke personal water craft,

2282010005, 4-stroke inboard/sterndrive, 

2282020005, diesel inboard/sterndrive, and 

2282020010, diesel outboards

6.7 NMIM/NONROAD GROWTH AND CONTROL INFORMATION

In estimating future year emissions, the NMIM/NONROAD model includes growth and 

scrappage rates for equipment in addition to a variety of control programs. It is not 

possible separate out the future year emissions due to “growth only” or “control only” in a 

single run. That is, the model run provides a single future year estimate that is a “growth 

and control” scenario.

The growth data used in the NMIM/NONROAD model is documented in a USEPA report 

(USEPA 2004c). The GROWTH packet of the NONROAD model cross-references each 

SCC to a growth indicator code. The indicator code is an arbitrary code that identifies an 

actual predicted value such as human population or employment that is used to estimate 

the future year equipment population. The GROWTH packet also defines the scrappage 

curves used to estimate the future year model year distribution.

Page 77

The NMIM/NONROAD model also accounts for all USEPA emission standards for 

nonroad equipment. There are mulitiple standards that vary by equipment type, rated 

power, model year, and pollutatant. Exhibit 6.1 is a summary of the emission control 

programs accounted for in the NMIM/NONROAD model. A complete summary of the 

nonroad equipment emission standards can be found on the USEPA nonroad emission 

standards reference guide website (USEPA 2011).

Control of Emissions From Nonroad 

Large Spark-Ignition Engines and 

Recreational Engines (Marine and 

Land-Based); Final Rule

67 FR 68241

November 8, 2002

This rule establishes exhaust and evaporative standards 

for several nonroad categories: 

1) Two tiers of emission standards are established for large 

spark-ignition engines over 19 kW. Tier 1 includes exhaust 

standards for HC+NOx and CO and is phased in from 

2004-2006. Tier 2 becomes effective in 2007 and includes 

exhaust standards for HC+NOx and CO as well as 

evaporative controls affecting fuel line permeation, diurnal 

emissions and running loss emissions.

2) Exhaust and evaporative emission standards are 

established for recreational vehicles, which include 

snowmobiles, off-highway motorcycles, and all-terrain 

vehicles (ATVs). For snowmobiles, HC and CO exhaust 

standards are phased-in from 2006-2012. For off-highway 

motorcycles, HC+NOx and CO exhaust emission 

standards are phased in from 2006-2007. For ATVs, 

HC+NOx and CO exhaust emission standards are phased 

in from 2006-2007. Evaporative emission standards for 

fuel tank and hose permeation apply to all recreational 

vehicles beginning in 2008.

3) Exhaust emission standards for HC+NOx, CO, and PM 

for recreational marine diesel engines over 50 hp begin in 

2006-2009, depending on the engine displacement. These 

are “Tier 2” equivalent standards.

nonroad diesel fuel will be limited to a maximum of 500 

ppm, the same as for current highway diesel fuel. Second, 

starting in 2010, fuel sulfur levels in most nonroad diesel 

fuel will be reduced to 15 ppm.

Control of Emissions From Nonroad 

Spark-Ignition Engines and 

Equipment; Final Rule (Bond Rule)

73 FR 59034

October 8, 2008

This rule establishes exhaust and evaporative standards 

for small SI engines and marine SI engines:

1) Phase 3 HC+NOx exhaust emission standards are 

established for Class I NHH engines starting in 2012 and 

for Class II NHH engines starting in 2011. There are no 

new exhaust emission standards for handheld engines. 

New evaporative standards are adopted for both handheld 

and nonhandheld equipment. The new evaporative 

standards control fuel tank permeation, fuel hose 

permeation, and diffusion losses. The evaporative 

standards begin in 2012 for Class I NHH engines and 2011 

for Class II NHH engines. For handheld engines, the 

evaporative standards are phased-in from 2012-2016.

2) More stringent HC+NOx and CO standards are 

established for marine SI PWC/OB engines beginning in 

2010. In addition, new exhaust HC+NOx and CO 

standards are established for sterndrive and inboard (SD/I) 

marine SI engines also beginning in 2010. High 

performance SD/I engines are subject to separate 

HC+NOx and CO exhaust standards that are phased-in 

from 2010-2011. New evaporative standards were also 

adopted for all marine SI engines that control fuel hose 

permeation, diurnal emissions, and fuel tank permeation 

emissions. The hose permeation, diurnal, and tank 

permeation standards take effect in 2009, 2010, and 2011.

7.0 NONROAD MAR SOURCE CATEGORIES

The USEPA’s NONROAD model does not estimate emissions for three nonroad source 

categories: commercial marine vessel, aircraft, and railroad locomotives. The emission 

projection methodology and data sources for these three categories (collectively referred to 

as marine, airport, railroad {or MAR}) are discussed in this section. The data used to 

calculate the growth and control factors for MAR sources are included in Appendix L.

7.1 COMMERCIAL MARINE VESSELS

For the purpose of emission calculations, marine vessel engines are divided into three 

categories based on displacement (swept volume) per cylinder. Category 1 and Category 2 

marine diesel engines typically range in size from about 500 to 8,000 kW (700 to 11,000 

hp). These engines are used to provide propulsion power on many kinds of vessels 

including tugboats, pushboats, supply vessels, fishing vessels, and other commercial 

vessels in and around ports. They are also used as stand-alone generators for auxiliary 

electrical power on vessels. Category 3 marine diesel engines typically range in size from 

2,500 to 70,000 kW (3,000 to 100,000 hp). These are very large marine diesel engines used 

for propulsion power on ocean-going vessels such as container ships, oil tankers, bulk 

carriers, and cruise ships.

The majority of marine vessels are powered by diesel engines that are either fueled with 

distillate or residual fuel oil blends. For the purpose of emission inventories, USEPA has 

assumed that Category 3 vessels primarily use residual blends while Category 1 and 2 

vessels typically use distillate fuels. 

EPA developed national emission inventories for Category 1 and 2 vessels and Category 3 

vessels for calendar years 2002 through 2040 as part of its effort to develop emission 

standards for these vessels. The methodologies used to develop the emission projections

(for both a baseline and controlled scenario) are documented in a regulatory impact 

assessment (USEPA 2008c). We used the USEPA data and methodologies from these 

RIAs to develop separate growth and control factors for Category 1 and 2 vessels (diesel) 

and Category 3 vessels (residual). 

7.1.1 CMV Diesel Growth Factors

For Category 1 and 2 diesel vessels, USEPA used projection data for domestic shipping 

from the AEO2006 (EIA 2006). The annual growth rate reported in the RIA is 0.9%. 

More recent growth data for domestic shipping is available in the AEO2010 (EIA 2010). 

Since Category 1 and 2 vessels primarily accounts for activity data for ships that carry 

domestic cargo, we decided to use the recent growth data for domestic shipping available 
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 81

in the AEO2010. We used Table A-7 of the AEO2010 for international shipping to 

calculate the growth factor for 2007-2013 to be 0.975, for 2007-2017 to be 1.003, and for 

2007-2020 to be 1/033. These growth factors were used for for CMV diesel port emissions 

(SCC 22-80-002-100) and CMV diesel underway emissions (SCC 22-80-002-200). 

7.1.2 CMV Diesel Control Factors

In developing their emission projections, USEPA developed two scenarios that accounted 

for both the 2004 nonroad diesel rule and the 2008 diesel marine vessel rule: 

The USEPA’s baseline (pre-control) inventory accounted for:

1. the 0.9 percent annual growth in fuel use, 

2. the impact of existing engine regulations that took effect in 2008, 

3. the 2004 Clean Air Nonroad Diesel Rule that will decrease the allowable 

levels of sulfur in fuel beginning in 2012, and 

4. fleet turnover. 

The USEPA’s controlled inventory accounted for:

1. the 0.9 percent annual growth in fuel use;

2. the reductions included in the baseline inventory, and the reductions from

USEPA’s 2008 rule Final Locomotive-Marine rule for Tier 3 and 4 engines; 

and 

3. The 2008 final rule that includes the first-ever national emission standards 

for existing marine diesel engines, applying to engines larger than 600kW 

when they are remanufactured. The rule also sets Tier 3 emissions 

standards for newly-built engines that are phasing in from 2009. Finally, 

the rule establishes Tier 4 standards for newly-built commercial marine 

diesel engines above 600kW, phasing in beginning in 2014.

To calculate a control factor that accounts for reductions included in the USEPA controlled 

inventory, it was necessary to first calculate a “growth only” scenario applying USEPA’s 

0.9 percent annual growth rate to the 2006 base emissions. Once the growth rate was 

applied, then a control factor for each pollutant was calculated by dividing the future year 

controlled emissions by the future year “growth only” emissions. Exhibit 7.1 shows the 

control factors for 2017 and 2020 for diesel commercial marine vessels.

2020 0.801 0.537 0.460 0.460 0.032 0.586

7.1.3 CMV Residual Oil Growth Factors

For Category 3 residual oil vessels, data from an USEPA-sponsored study was used to 

develop an annualized growth factor of 4.5 percent for the region. A few states considered 

the growth rate to be extremely high and not reflective of recent economic conditions. 

Since USEPA’s Category 3 vessel inventory is primarily based on activity data for ships 

that carry foreign cargo, we decided to use the recent growth data for international 

shipping available in the AEO2010. We used data from Table A-7 of the AEO2010 for 

international shipping to calculate the growth factor for 2007-2013 to be 0.940, for 2007-

2017 to be 0.946, and for 2007-2020 to be 0.950. These growth factors were used for 

CMV residual oil port emissions (SCC 22-80-003-100) and CMV residual oil underway 

emissions (SCC 22-80-003-200).

7.1.4 CMV Residual Oil Control Factors

On December 22nd, 2009, USEPA announced final emission standards under the Clean 

Air Act for new marine diesel engines with per-cylinder displacement at or above 30 liters 

(called Category 3 marine diesel engines) installed on U.S.-flagged vessels. The final 

engine standards are equivalent to those adopted in the amendments to Annex VI to the 

International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (a treaty called 

"MARPOL"). The emission standards apply in two stages: near-term standards for newlybuilt engines will apply beginning in 2011, and long-term standards requiring an 80 

percent reduction in NOx will begin in 2016. USEPA also adopted changes to the diesel 

fuel program to allow for the production and sale of diesel fuel with no more than 1,000 

ppm sulfur for use in Category 3 marine vessels. The regulations generally forbid 

production and sale of fuels with more than 1,000 ppm sulfur for use in most U.S. waters, 

unless operators achieve equivalent emission reductions in other ways. 

On March 26, 2010, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) officially designated 

waters off North American coasts as an emissions control area (ECA) in which stringent 

international emission standards will apply to ships. In practice, implementation of the 

ECA means that ships entering the designated area would need to use compliant fuel for 

the duration of their voyage that is within that area, including time in port and voyages

whose routes pass through the area without calling on a port. The North American ECA 
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 83

includes waters adjacent the Atlantic extending up to 200 nautical miles from east coast of 

the United States. The quality of fuel that complies with the ECA standard will change 

over time. From the effective date in 2012 until 2015, fuel used by vessels operating in 

designated areas cannot exceed 1.0 percent sulfur (10,000 ppm). Beginning in 2015, fuel 

used by vessels operating in these areas cannot exceed 0.1 percent sulfur (1000 ppm). 

Beginning in 2016, NOx aftertreatment requirements become applicable.

To calculate a control factor that accounted for reductions included in the USEPA 

controlled inventory, it was necessary to first calculate a “growth only” scenario applying 

USEPA’s 4.5 percent annual growth rate to the 2006 base emissions. Once the growth rate 

was applied, then a control factor for each pollutant was calculated by dividing the future 

year controlled emissions by the future year “growth only” emissions. 

Exhibit 7.2 shows the control factors for 2017 and 2020 for residual oil commercial marine 

vessels.

7.1.5 Military Vessels Growth and Control Factors

Virginia reported emissions for military vessels, but did not distinguish between diesel or 

residual fuels. We assumed that there would be “no growth” for military vessel activity 

and emissions in Virginia would remain at 2007 levels in 2017 and 2020. Virginia was the 

only state to report emission from military vessels.

7.2 AIRCRAFT

Aircraft emissions in the 2007 MANE-VU+VA inventory are available on either a countyby-county or airport-by-airport basis for six types of aircraft operations:

Air carrier operations represent landings and take-offs (LTOs) of commercial 

aircraft with seating capacity of more than 60 seats;

Commuter/air taxi operations are one category. Commuter operations include 

LTOs by aircraft with 60 or fewer seats that transport regional passengers on 
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 84

scheduled commercial flights. Air taxi operations include LTOs by aircraft with 60 

or fewer seats conducted on non-scheduled or for-hire flights;

General aviation represents all civil aviation LTOs not classified as commercial;

Military operations represent LTOs by military aircraft; 

Ground Support Equipment (GSE) typically includes aircraft refueling and baggage 

handling vehicles and equipment, aircraft towing vehicles, and passenger buses; 

and 

Auxiliary power units (APUs) provide power to start the main engines and run the 

heating, cooling, and ventilation systems prior to starting the main engines.

7.2.1 Aircraft Growth Factors

Aircraft operations were projected to future years by applying activity growth using data 

on itinerant (ITN) operations at airports as reported in the Federal Aviation 

Administration’s (FAA) Terminal Area Forecast (TAF) System for 2009-2030 (FAA 

2010). The ITN operations are defined as aircraft take-offs or landings. This information is 

available for approximately 3300 individual airports. Actual LTOs are reported for 2007 

and projected LTOs are provided for all years up to 2030.

We aggregated and applied this information at the county level for the four operation 

types: commercial, general, air taxi, military. We computed growth factors for each 

operation type by dividing future-year ITN by 2007-year ITN. We assigned factors to 

inventory SCCs based on the operation type, as shown in Exhibit 7.3.

7.2.2 Aircraft Control Factors

The NOx aircraft engine emissions standards adopted by USEPA in November 2005 

(USEPA 2005b) were reviewed. The standards are equivalent to the NOx emission 

standards (adopted in 1999 for implementation beginning in 2004) of the United Nations 

International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and will bring the United States aircraft 

standards into alignment with the international standards. The standards apply to new 

aircraft engines used on commercial aircraft including small regional jets, single-aisle and 
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 86

twin-aisle aircraft, and 747s and larger aircraft. The standards also apply to general 

aviation and military aircraft, which sometimes use commercial engines. For example, 

small regional jet engines are used in executive general aviation aircraft, and larger 

commercial aircraft engines may be used in military transport aircraft. 

Nearly all previously certified or in-production engine models currently meet or perform 

better than the standards USEPA adopted in the November 2005 rule. In addition, 

manufacturers have already been developing improved technology in response to the 

ICAO standards. According to USEPA’s recent analysis for the proposed transport rule 

(USEPA 2010a), this rule is expected to reduce NOx emissions by approximately 2 percent 

in 2015 and 3 percent in 2020. Because of the relatively small amount of NOx reductions, 

our aircraft emission projections do not account for this control program.

EPA has also issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) on lead 

emissions from piston-engine aircraft using leaded aviation gasoline (USEPA 2010d). 

However, this rule has not yet been adopted and co-benefits for criteria air pollutants are 

likely to be small. Therefore, the effects of this rule were not included in the future-year 

emissions projections.

7.3 RAILROAD EQUIPMENT

Railroad locomotive engine emissions in the 2007 MARAMA inventory are classified into 

the following categories:

Class I line haul locomotives are operated by large freight railroad companies and 

are used to power freight train operations over long distances (SCC 22-85-002-

006);

Class II/III line haul locomotives are operated by smaller freight railroad 

companies and are used to power freight train operations over long distances (SCC 

22-85-002-007);

Inter-city passenger train locomotives are operated primarily by Amtrak to provide 

inter-city passenger transport (SCC 22-85-002-008);

Independent commuter rail systems operate locomotives provide passenger 

transport within a metropolitan area (SCC 22-85-002-009); and 

Yard/switch locomotives are used in freight yards to assemble and disassemble 

trains, or for short hauls of trains that are made up of only a few cars (SCC 22-85-

002-010).

7.3.1 Railroad Growth Factors

In March 2008, USEPA finalized a three part program that will dramatically reduce 

emissions from diesel locomotives of all types -- line-haul, switch, and passenger rail. As 

part of this work USEPA developed a national emission inventory for calendar years 2002 

through 2040. Emission projections methodologies for a baseline and controlled scenario 

were developed and documented (USEPA 2008c). USEPA used projection data from the 

AEO2006 (EIA 2006). Table A-7 of AEO2006 showed that freight rail energy use will 

grow 1.6 percent annually. 

More recent growth data is available in the AEO2010 which was published in May 2010. 

There are separate projections for passenger rail and freight rail energy use. For the 

MANE VU+VA inventory we relied on the more recent AEO2010 growth projections.

Passenger rail data from AEO2010 Table A-7 was used to calculate the growth factor for 

2007-2013 to be 1.046, for 2007-2017 to be 1.121, and for 2007-2020 to be 1.171. These 

growth factors were applied to inter-city passenger train locomotives (SCC 22-85-002-

008) and independent commuter rail systems (SCC 22-85-002-009). 

For freight rail, the data from AEO2010 Table A-7 was used to calculate the growth factor 

for 2007-2013 to be 0.969, for 2007-2017 to be 1.018, and for 2007-2020 to be 1.053. We 

used the freight rail annual growth factors for Class I line haul (SCC 22-85-002-006), 

Class II/III line haul (SCC 22-85-002-007), and yard switch (SCC 22-85-002-010) 

locomotives. 

7.3.2 Railroad Control Factors

USEPA developed two scenarios that accounted for both the 2004 nonroad diesel rule and 

the 2008 diesel locomotive rule: 

The USEPA baseline (pre-control) inventory accounted for 

1. AEO2006 annual growth in fuel use, 

2. The impact of existing regulations for Tier 0, 1, and 2 locomotive engines 

that take effect in 2008, 

3. The 2004 Clean Air Nonroad Diesel Rule that will decrease allowable 

levels of sulfur in locomotives fuel beginning in 2012, and 

4. Fleet turnover.

The USEPA controlled inventory accounted for 

1. AEO2006 annual growth in fuel use, 

2. Reductions included in the baseline inventory, and 
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 88

3. Reductions from USEPA’s 2008 rule Final Locomotive-Marine rule for 

Tier 3 and 4 engines. This rule lowered diesel sulfur content and tightened 

emission standards for existing and new locomotives. 

4. Voluntary retrofits under the National Clean Diesel Campaign are not 

included in our projections.

To calculate a factor that accounted for reductions included in the USEPA controlled 

inventory, it was necessary to first calculate a “growth only” scenario applying USEPA’s 

1.6% annual growth rate to the 2006 base emissions. Once the growth rate was applied, 

then a control factor for each pollutant was calculated by dividing the future year 

controlled emissions by the future year “growth only” emissions. 

Exhibit 7.5 shows the control factors for 2017 and 2020 for the five locomotive 

classifications and pollutants.

8.0 SUMMARY OF PROJECTED EMISSIONS

8.1 AREA SOURCE PROJECTED EMISSIONS

Exhibits 8.1 to 8.7 summarize the 2007 and projected future year area source emissions by 

state for each criteria air pollutant. Seven values are listed for each pollutant:

2007 emissions

2017 projected emissions with growth only (GO)

2017 projected emissions with growth and existing controls (GC)

2017 projected emissions with growth, existing and potential new OTC controls (GX)

2020 projected emissions with growth only (GO)

2020 projected emissions with growth and existing controls (GC)

2020 projected emissions with growth, existing and potential new OTC controls (GX)

Detailed summaries by County and SCC are provided on MARAMA’s ftp site.

CO emissions in most states decline between 2007 and 2020, primarily due to decreases in 

residential wood combustion emissions resulting from the turnover to NSPS-compliant 

wood stoves. The two exceptions are DC and NY, where there is a slight increase in CO 

emissions from 2007 to 2020. There are no additional reductions expected from potential 

new OTC control measures. 

NH3 emissions are projected to increase in most states between 2007 and 2020. This is 

due primarily to the growth predicted for fertilizer application on cropland and certain 

livestock waste products. There are no additional reductions expected from any existing 

control program or any potential new OTC control measures. 

Under the “growth only” scenario, NOx emissions are projected to decline by about 5 

percent between 2007 and 2017 due to AEO fuel use projections that generally show 

decreases in residential, commercial, and industrial fuel consumption. Under the “existing 

controls” scenario, NOx emissions in 2017 are projected to decrease by about 6.7 percent 

regionwide from 2007 levels due primarily to RICE MACT controls. Under the “potential 

new OTC controls” scenario, NOx emissions are projected to decrease by about 17 percent 

between 2007 and 2017 due to potential new controls on ICI boilers and new, small, 

natural gas-fired units. 

PM10-PRI emissions are projected to increase slightly in all states between 2007 and 2017. 

Reentrained road dust on paved roads is a large source of PM10-PRI emissions and is 

directly proportional to the projected increases in VMT on paved roads. These increases 

from paved road dust are somewhat offset by decreases resulting from the turnover to 

NSPS-compliant wood stoves and the AEO fuel use projections that generally show 
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 90

decreases in residential, commercial, and industrial fuel consumption, especially for coal 

and oil. There are no additional reductions expected from potential new OTC control 

measures.

PM25-PRI emissions are projected to increase slightly from 2007 to 2020. Increases from 

paved road dust are somewhat offset by decreases resulting from the turnover to NSPScompliant wood stoves and the AEO fuel use projections that generally show decreases in 

residential, commercial, and industrial fuel consumption, especially for coal and oil. There 

are no additional reductions expected from potential new OTC control measures.

Under the “growth only” scenario, SO2 emissions are projected to decline by about 16

percent between 2007 and 2017 due to AEO fuel use projections that generally show 

decreases in residential, commercial, and industrial fuel consumption, especially for coal 

and oil. Under the “existing controls” scenario, SO2 emissions in 2017 are projected to 

decrease by about 42 percent regionwide from 2007 levels due primarily to low sulfur fuel 

oil limits in MD, NJ, and NY. Under the “potential new OTC controls” scenario, SO2

emissions are projected to decrease by about 68 percent between 2007 and 2017 due to the 

potential implementation of low sulfur fuel oil limits in other MANE-VU states. 

Under the “growth only” scenario, VOC emissions are projected to decrease slightly due to 

the turnover to NSPS-compliant wood stoves and the turnover over of vehicles equipped 

with on-board vapor recovery canisters. Under the “existing controls” scenario, VOC 

emissions in 2017 are projected to decrease by about 10 percent regionwide from 2007 

levels due implementation of various OTC control measures in multiple states. Under the 

“potential new OTC controls” scenario, VOC emissions are projected to decrease by about 

15 percent between 2007 and 2017 due to the continued implementation of both OTC 

control measures.

8.2 NONEGU POINT SOURCE PROJECTED EMISSIONS

Exhibits 8.8 to 8.14 summarize the 2007 and projected future year area source emissions 

by state for each criteria air pollutant. Seven values are listed for each pollutant:

2007 emissions

2017 projected emissions with growth only (GO)

2017 projected emissions with growth and existing controls (GC)

2017 projected emissions with growth, existing and potential new OTC controls (GX)

2020 projected emissions with growth only (GO)

2020 projected emissions with growth and existing controls (GC)

2020 projected emissions with growth, existing and potential new OTC controls (GX)

Detailed summaries by County and SCC are provided on MARAMA’s ftp site.

Regionwide, CO emissions increase slightly between 2007 and 2020. Maryland shows a 

significant decline due to a source closure. Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont show 

significant increases due to projected increases in nonEGU wood combustion. There are no 

additional reductions expected from potential new OTC control measures.

NH3 emissions are projected to increase slightly between 2007 and 2020. There are no 

additional reductions expected from any existing control program or any potential new 

OTC control measures. 

Under the “growth only” scenario, regional NOx emissions are projected to increase by 

about 12 percent from 2007 to 2017. This is due partially to the projected increases in fuel 

consumption and the addition of ERCs to the inventory. Under the “existing controls” 

scenario, NOx emissions are projected to be about 2 percent lower in 2017 than in 2007 

because of petroleum refinery enforcement settlements; source shutdowns; ICI boiler 

controls in New Hampshire, New Jersey, and New York; and additional controls on glass 

furnace and cement kilns. Under the “potential new OTC controls” scenario, NOx 

emissions are projected to be about 5 percent lower in 2017 than in 2007 because of ICI 

boiler controls in additional states. 

Under the “growth only” scenario, regional PM10-PRI and PM2.5-PRI emissions are 

projected to increase slightly. Under the “existing controls” scenario, PM10-PRI and 

PM2.5-PRI are project to be about 5 percent lower in 2017 than in 2007 due primarily to 

reductions the ICI boiler MACT standard and source closures. There are no additional 

reductions expected from potential new OTC control measures.

Under the “growth only” scenario, regional SO2 emissions are projected to remain 

relatively constant from 2007 to 2017. Under the “existing controls” scenario, SO2

emissions are projected to be about 5 percent lower in 2017 than in 2007 because of 

petroleum refinery enforcement settlements; source shutdowns; and low sulfur fuel oil 

requirements in Maryland, New Jersey, and New York. Under the “potential new OTC 

controls” scenario, SO2 emissions are projected to be about 8 percent lower in 2017 than 

in 2007 because of low sulfur fuel oil limits in additional states. SO2 emission are 

projected to be about 12 percent lower in 2020 than in 2007 because of additional low 

sulfur fuel oil limits in outer zone states that are projected to take effect in 2018.. 

VOC emissions are projected to increase slightly between 2007 and 2020 under the 

“growth only” scenario due primarily to the inclusion of ERCs in the future year 

inventories. Under the “existing controls” scenario, VOC emissions are projected to be 

less than 1 percent lower in 2017 than in 2007, with reductions resulting from the RICE 

MACT standard and OTC adhesives application rule. Under the “potential new OTC 

controls” scenario, VOC emissions are projected to be about 1.5 percent lower in 2017 

than in 2007 due to the projected implementation of the OTC rule on large storage tanks.

8.3 NONROAD NMIM SOURCE PROJECT EMISSIONS

Exhibits 8.15 to 8.21 summarize the 2007 and projected emissions for NONROAD model 

sources by state for each criteria air pollutant. Seven values are listed for each pollutant:

2007 emissions

2017 projected emissions with growth only (GO)

2017 projected emissions with growth and existing controls (GC)

2017 projected emissions with growth, existing and potential new OTC controls (GX)

2020 projected emissions with growth only (GO)

2020 projected emissions with growth and existing controls (GC)

2020 projected emissions with growth, existing and potential new OTC controls (GX)

Detailed summaries by County and SCC are provided on MARAMA’s ftp site.

It is not possible to isolate the emission changes due to growth versus the emission changes 

due to future controls in a single NMIM run. Therefore, the emissions under the growth 

only (GO) and growth and existing controls (GC) scenarios are the same. There are 

currently no potential new OTC control measures for sources whose emissions are 

estimated by the NONROAD model. Therefore, the emissions under the growth and 

existing controls (GC) and with growth, existing and potential new OTC controls (GX) 

scenarios are the same. 

Exhibit 8.15 presents a state-level comparison of 2007, 2017 and 2020 annual CO 

emissions for NMIM/NONROAD sources. Emissions decrease by about 21% between 

2007 and 2013, but remain relatively flat from 2017 to 2020.

Exhibit 8.16 shows that annual NH3 emissions are very small relative to other source 

sectors (e.g., agricultural ammonia) and generally increase slightly from 2007 to 2020.

Exhibit 8.17 shows that annual NOx emissions decrease by about 42% between 2007 and 

2020 and by about 49% between 2007 and 2020 due to the turnover to newer engines 

subject to more stringent national emission standards.

Exhibits 8.18 and 8.19 shows that PM10-PRI and PM25-PRI emissions decrease about 

33% between 2007 and 2020 and by about 41% between 2007 and 2020.

Exhibit 8.20 shows that annual SO2 emissions are virtually eliminated by 2017 due to 

lower national limits on the sulfur content of nonroad diesel fuel. 

Exhibit 8.21 shows that annual VOC emissions decrease by about 41% between 2007 and 

2020 and by about 46% between 2007 and 2020 due to the turnover to newer engines 

subject to more stringent national emission standards.

8.4 NONROAD COMMERCIAL MARINE VESSEL EMISSIONS

Exhibits 8.22 to 8.28 summarize the 2007 and projected future year commercial marine 

vessel emissions by state for each criteria air pollutant. Seven values are listed for each 

pollutant:

2007 emissions

2017 projected emissions with growth only (GO)

2017 projected emissions with growth and existing controls (GC)

2017 projected emissions with growth, existing and potential new OTC controls (GX)

2020 projected emissions with growth only (GO)

2020 projected emissions with growth and existing controls (GC)

2020 projected emissions with growth, existing and potential new OTC controls (GX)

Detailed summaries by County and SCC are provided on MARAMA’s ftp site.

Emissions of all pollutants except NH3 are projected to decrease as a result of Federal 

rules affecting Category 1 / 2 and Category 3 marine engines, including more stringent 

engine emission standards and sulfur in fuel limitations. There are currently no potential 

new OTC control measures for commercial marine vessels. 

Exhibit 8.22 presents a state-level comparison of 2007, 2017 and 2020 annual CO 

emissions for commercial marine vessels. Emissions decrease by about 13 percent from 

2007 to 2017, and 12 percent from 2007 to 2020.

Exhibit 8.23 shows that there are very little NH3 emissions from this sector.

Exhibit 8.24 shows that annual NOx emissions from commercial marine vessels decrease 

by 32 percent from 2007 to 2017 and 40 percent from 2007 to 2020.

Exhibits 9.25 and 9.26 show that annual PM10-PRI and PM2.5-PRI emissions from 

commercial marine vessels decrease substantially after 2007. For both pollutants, 

emissions are reduced by about 57 percent from 2007 to 2017 and 66 percent from 2007 to 

2020.

Exhibit 8.27 shows that that annual SO2 emissions from commercial marine vessels 

decrease dramatically after 2007. SO2 emissions are reduced by about 89 percent from 

2007 to 2017 and 93 percent from 2007 to 2020.

Exhibit 8.28 shows that annual VOC emissions from commercial marine vessels decrease 

by 15 percent from 2007 to 2017, and 20 percent from 2007 to 2020.

8.5 NONROAD AIRPORT EMISSIONS 

Exhibits 9.29 to 9.35 summarize the 2007 and projected future year airport emissions by 

state for each criteria air pollutant. Seven values are listed for each pollutant:

2007 emissions

2017 projected emissions with growth only (GO)

2017 projected emissions with growth and existing controls (GC)

2017 projected emissions with growth, existing and potential new OTC controls (GX)

2020 projected emissions with growth only (GO)

2020 projected emissions with growth and existing controls (GC)

2020 projected emissions with growth, existing and potential new OTC controls (GX)

Detailed summaries by County and SCC are provided on MARAMA’s ftp site.

There were no NH3 emissions reported for airport operations. Emissions of other 

pollutants are projected to change as a result of changes in airline activity levels. No state

or Federal rules were identified that would reduce emissions from aircraft operations in the 

future. There are currently no potential new OTC control measures for airports.

CO, PM10, PM2.5 and VOC emissions are projected to remain relatively constant between 

2007 levels by 2017. By 2020, the will be a slight increase in emissions from 2007 due to 

increased operations by 2020. 

NOx and SO2 emissions are projected to increase by 7 percent from 2007 levels by 2017 

and by 13 percent by 2020 due to increased air traffic.

8.6 NONROAD RAILROAD LOCOMOTIVE EMISSIONS 

Exhibits 9.36 to 9.42 summarize the 2007 and projected future year railroad locomotive 

emissions by state for each criteria air pollutant. Seven values are listed for each pollutant:

2007 emissions

2017 projected emissions with growth only (GO)

2017 projected emissions with growth and existing controls (GC)

2017 projected emissions with growth, existing and potential new OTC controls (GX)

2020 projected emissions with growth only (GO)

2020 projected emissions with growth and existing controls (GC)

2020 projected emissions with growth, existing and potential new OTC controls (GX)

Detailed summaries by County and SCC are provided on MARAMA’s ftp site.

Emissions of all pollutants except CO and NH3 are projected to decrease as a result of 

Federal rules affecting railroad locomotive engines, including more stringent engine 

emission standards and sulfur in fuel limitations. There are currently no potential new 

OTC control measures for railroad locomotives.

Exhibit 8.36 presents a state-level comparison of 2007, 2017 and 2020 annual CO 

emissions for railroad locomotives. CO emissions show small changes (< 7 percent) 

between 2007 and 2017/2020.

Exhibit 8.37 shows that there are very little NH3 emissions from this sector.

Exhibit 8.38 shows that annual NOx emissions from railroad locomotives decrease by 33

percent from 2007 to 2017, and 39 percent from 2007 to 2020.

Exhibits 9.39 and 9.40 show that annual PM10-PRI and PM2.5-PRI emissions from 

railroad locomotives decrease substantially after 2007. For both pollutants, emissions are 

reduced by about 49 percent from 2007 to 2017, and 57 percent from 2007 to 2020.

Exhibit 8.41 shows that SO2 emissions from railroad locomotives are virtually eliminatd 

by 2017. 

Exhibit 8.42 shows that annual VOC emissions from railroad locomotives decrease by 42

percent from 2007 to 2017 and 50 percent from 2007 to 2020.

9.0 PREPARATION OF SMOKE MODEL FILES

Air quality modelers in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern states use the SMOKE 

Modeling System to create gridded, speciated, hourly emissions for input into a variety of 

air quality models. This section describes how the SMOKE inventory files were 

developed. It also describes how the SMOKE the temporal allocation, speciation, and 

spatial allocation profiles, respectively, were developed. . SMOKE inventory files were 

created for the following types of sources (which are described in Section 1.3):

9.1 NONEGU POINT SOURCE SMOKE EMISSION FILES

Annual nonEGU point source inventories were prepared in SMOKE PTINV ORL format. 

9.2 AREA SOURCE SMOKE EMISSION FILES

Annual area source inventories for 2017 and 2020 were prepared in SMOKE ARINV ORL 

format. In developing the SMOKE ARINV ORL files for area sources, the USEPA 

“transport factor” was applied to reduce fugitive dust emissions to account for the removal 

of particles near their emission source by vegetation and surface features. The transport 

factor was NOT applied to the NIF-formatted annual emissions, but only to the SMOKE 

ARINV ORL-formatted file. 

The standard transport fractions and SCC assignments from the USEPA CHIEF website 

(USEPA 2007c) were used to reduce the PM10-PRI and PM25-PRI emissions in the area 

source inventories. Two files were used. The first file contains a list of SCCs for which 

the transport factor was applied. The major source categories included paved and unpaved 

roads, construction activity, agricultural crop land tilling, and agricultural livestock 

operations. The second file contains the transport factor which varies by county. For 

example, in Connecticut the transport fraction ranges from 0.21 in Tolland County to 0.44 

in New Haven County. 

Applying the transport factor to area source fugitive dust emissions significantly reduces 

that amount of particulate matter included in the air quality modeling. Region wide, 

PM10-PRI emissions are reduced by about 54 percent and PM25-PRI emissions are 

reduced by about 25 percent by applying the transport fraction. The percent reduction 

varies by state due to the relative importance of the area source fugitive dust emissions 

compared to non-fugitive dust source emissions. 

9.3 NONROAD NMIM SMOKE EMISSION FILES

As discussed in Section 7, the NMIM/NONROAD model was executed using 

specifications to generate monthly emission files. Monthly SMOKE ARINV ORL files 
Documentation for the 2017/2020 Emission Inventories for the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Region January 23, 2012

Page 140

were created. Average day emissions were calculated by dividing the NONROAD 

generated monthly emissions by the number of days in each month. Summary reports 

were prepared to verify agreement between the average day, monthly, and annual 

emissions.

9.4 NONROAD MAR SMOKE EMISSION FILES

Annual inventories for marine vessels, airport operations and railroad locomotives were 

prepared in SMOKE ARINV ORL format for each county in the region. Average day 

emissions were calculated by dividing the annual emissions by 365 days. The ORL files 

for Category 3 commercial marine vessels include only the emissions that occur in state

waters (generally from the shoreline to 3–10 nautical miles from shore).
