1.0 INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE

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

sources), airports and rail yards. Industrial or commercial facilities having equipment that emits 

pollutants to the air have always been classified as point sources by air quality regulatory 

programs and are generally required to have permits issued by the North Carolina Division of 

Air Quality (DAQ) or Mecklenburg County Air Quality (MCAQ). Airports or rail yards are not 

required to have air quality permits for construction and operation as airports or rail yards 

(although they could have equipment such as a boiler or generator that requires a permit). They 

do have fixed and known locations and their emissions quantities can be comparable to industrial 

sources so, for purposes of the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) National 

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

previously have been considered nonroad sources. 

Although both the North Carolina state and county agencies inventory all the criteria pollutants 

and a large number of toxic air pollutants, only nitrogen oxide (NOx) and volatile organic 

compound (VOC) emissions are reported here since they are the precursor pollutants for ozone 

formation. All emissions are calculated on tons per typical (average) day basis. The emissions 

for each source classification are reported for 2014, the base year. Projected emissions for each 

source classification are calculated for 2015, 2018, 2022, and 2026, the future years.

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

Charlotte–Gastonia–Salisbury 2008 8-hour ozone marginal nonattainment area, referred to as the 

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

Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Rowan, and Union Counties and all of Mecklenburg County. Map 

coordinates were used to identify the facilities, airports, and rail yards that are located within the 

boundary of the Charlotte ozone nonattainment area. 

2.0 OVERALL METHODOLOGY

The overall approach to developing the point source base year and future year emissions 

inventories involved first identifying the sources located within the Charlotte nonattainment area 

and then identifying and reviewing the most recent data available for the sources. Once the point 

source emissions for the 2014 base year were prepared, growth and control factors were applied 

to the base year emissions to estimate future year emissions. 
Point Source Emissions Inventory Documentation 2

The following sections provide details on how point sources were identified for inclusion in the 

base year and future year emissions inventories and how the 2014 base year emissions were 

developed. In addition, details on how growth and control factors were developed to estimate 

future year emissions is provided along with tabular summaries of base year and future year 

emissions. 

2.1 SOURCE IDENTIFICATION

North Carolina stationary point sources were identified primarily through the permitting process. 

Permitted sources of emissions are required to periodically submit their emissions inventory to 

either the DAQ or MCAQ. All North Carolina facilities meeting the criteria defined in 15A 

North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 02Q.0100 are required to be permitted to operate 

sources of air pollution. Such permitted facilities are required to submit emission inventories 

according to established time intervals specified in the permit. All large permitted sources are 

required to report emissions annually. Such sources are also referred to as Title V sources. 

Smaller permitted sources are required to submit an emissions inventory upon permit renewal. 

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

stationary point sources to them on an annual basis. To ensure the quality of the emissions data 

submitted by facilities, the DAQ documentation titled “Uniform Policy and Documentation 

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

reviewers as guidance to support high-quality inventory development efforts. 

The data that facilities report to DAQ include their coordinates and county location. For each of 

the six counties for which a portion of the county is located in the Charlotte nonattainment area, 

facility coordinates were mapped with Geographic Information System (GIS) software to 

identify the facilities located within the nonattainment area. As a quality assurance and 

consistency check, the facilities identified were compared to the facilities included in the Base 

Year (2011) Emissions Inventory and Emissions Statements SIP that the DAQ submitted to the 

EPA on July 7, 2014, to fulfill the requirements of Sections 182(a)(1) and 182(a)(3)(B) of the

CAA.1 

Airports with grid coordinates within the nonattainment area were included as point sources. 

Seven airports were identified in the Charlotte nonattainment area. Airport emissions reported 

here were obtained from the EPA 2011 NEI.

Rail yards with grid coordinates within the nonattainment area were included as point sources. 

Five rail yards were identified in the Charlotte nonattainment area. Rail yard emissions reported 

here were obtained from the EPA 2011 NEI. 

2.2 BASE YEAR EMISSION ESTIMATION APPROACH

2.2.1 STATIONARY POINT SOURCE EMISSIONS

For the three Duke Energy Carolinas electricity generating unit (EGU) facilities located in the 

Charlotte nonattainment area (i.e., Allen in Gaston County, Lincoln in Lincoln County, and Buck 

in Rowan County), Duke Energy Carolinas reports emissions to the EPA’s Clean Air Markets 

Division (CAMD). Therefore, this information was used to develop actual 2014 average July 

day emissions for each facility. Actual emissions for each day in July were summed and then 

divided by the number of operating days during July to estimate the average summer July day 

emissions. 

For non-EGUs that are Title V sources, the latest data available were the 2013 emissions data 

that the sources submitted to the DAQ and MCAQ, and, for these sources, 2013 emissions were 

used to represent 2014 base year emission. For the small sources that only report emissions 

every five years, the most recently reported data was used and assumed to be equivalent to 2014 

emissions since the emissions from these sources do not vary much from year to year.2 For 

sources subject to the emissions statement requirements for marginal ozone nonattainment areas 

(i.e., which emit less than 25 tons per year of NOx or VOC), the latest data available were the 

2013 emissions data that the sources submitted to the DAQ, and, for these sources, 2013 

emissions were used to represent 2014 base year emission. The DAQ reviewed recent historical 

emissions data (i.e., 2010 - 2013) for non-EGU Title V and emissions sources subject to the 

emissions statements requirements. Based on this review, the DAQ decided that 2013 emissions 

should be used to represent 2014 emissions due to the uncertainty associated with applying 

regional growth factors to forecast emissions for one year.

The stationary point source emissions inventory information reported to the DAQ and MCAQ

was transferred to a state-developed emissions inventory program that helps ensure required data 

elements are not omitted. It also performs some calculations, thereby minimizing the occurrence 

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

 

2 North Carolina permit renewal intervals for small sources changed from every five years to every eight years, 

effective 2014.

various means. In many cases, emissions are estimated using emission factors published in the 

EPA’s AP-42, Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors, throughput data and control 

device efficiencies. In a few cases, site-specific emission factors may be used. Sometimes, a 

mass balance calculation can be employed. In some cases, there is direct continuous monitoring 

of emissions that are reported. 

Emissions reported to and maintained by the DAQ or MCAQ are annual emissions. A variety of 

detailed operating data, source configuration, and other process parameters are also reported 

according to the DAQ or MCAQ reporting guidelines. This operational data is used to estimate 

the average summer weekday emissions. The DAQ and MCAQ provide specific instructions and 

guidelines for submitting emissions data to the agency via its internal website. 

2.2.2 AIRCRAFT ENGINES AND AIRPORT GROUND SUPPORT

Aircraft engines, like other engines, emit pollutants whenever the engines are in operation. 

However, the only emissions that are of concern for this inventory are the portion of the 

operation that occurs below the atmospheric mixing layer. This is because the emissions tend to 

disperse whenever the aircraft is above the mixing layer, and, therefore have little or no effect on 

ground level air pollutants.

The aircraft operations of interest are produced during the landing and takeoff (LTO) cycle. The 

cycle begins when the aircraft approaches the airport, descending below the mixing layer, lands 

and taxis to the gate. It continues as the aircraft idles at the gate and then taxis back out to the 

runway for the subsequent takeoff and climbout as it heads back to cruising altitudes, above the 

mixing layer. Associated with these emissions are emissions from ground support equipment 

(GSE) and auxiliary power units (APU). 

Aircraft can be categorized by use into four classifications: commercial, air taxis, general 

aviation and military. Commercial aircraft include those used for scheduled service transporting 

passengers, freight or both. Air taxis and commuter aircraft also fly scheduled service carrying 

passengers and/or freight but usually are smaller aircraft and operate on a more limited basis than 

commercial carriers. Air taxis may also be used for unscheduled on-demand flights. General 

aviation includes all other non-military aircraft used for recreational flying, personal 

transportation and various other activities. Military aircraft cover a wide range of sizes, uses and 

operating missions. Military operations at civilian airports (as in the Charlotte area) are often 

associated with National Guard, Army Reserve and Air Force Reserve training.
Point Source Emissions Inventory Documentation 5

Charlotte-Gastonia-Salisbury, NC 2008 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area Appendix B.1

Redesignation Demonstration and Maintenance Plan April 16, 2015

Emission estimates were developed by the EPA for year 2011 for all airports in North Carolina 

as part of the NEI. Emission calculations for commercial aircraft were made using the Emissions 

and Dispersion Modeling System (EDMS), version 5.1.4.1 model developed by the EPA and the 

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Emissions for air taxi and general aviation (both 

subgrouped into piston engine and turbine engine categories) and for military aircraft operating 

at civilian airports were made using emission factors developed by the EPA working with the 

FAA. More detail about this process is found in Documentation for Aircraft Component of the 

National Emissions Inventory Methodology, ERG No.: 0245.02.302.001, Contract No.: EP-D-07-

097 prepared by Eastern Research Group under contract to E.H. Pechan for the EPA. Emissions 

were converted from tons per year to tons per day by dividing by 365.

The EDMS model calculates emissions from GSE and APUs both associated with certain 

aircraft. GSE consists of equipment such as tractors used to tow airplanes to the gate or catering 

trucks that bring food to large airliners. APUs are typically small engines on aircraft that provide 

power for electricity or air conditioning when the main engines are shut off. Since this 

equipment is mostly associated with large commercial aircraft, GSE and APU emissions were 

included and projected with the same factors as the commercial aircraft.

Factors to project from 2011 to base year 2014were developed by the DAQ using activity 

projections from the FAA’s Terminal Area Forecast (TAF) model for North Carolina. The TAF 

estimates future activity at seven airports in the seven Charlotte nonattainment area counties. 

Growth factors specific to these airports were developed. Composite projection factors were 

developed using TAF projections for the 72 airports in North Carolina included in the TAF and 

applied to the other small airports in the seven Charlotte nonattainment area counties. See the 

Section 2.3.2 below for more detail concerning aircraft growth factors for future years.

2.2.3 RAILROAD LOCOMOTIVES

Rail yard 2014 base year emissions were grown from the 2008 NEI by the EPA. These 2008 

emissions were developed by Eastern Regional Technical Advisory Committee (ERTAC) with 

data provided by the railroad companies. Additional information may be found in 2011 NEI

Technical Support Document, Documentation for Locomotive Component of the methodology, 

and a memorandum titled Development of 2011 Railroad Component for National Emissions 

Inventory. An emissions data report was downloaded from the EPA Emissions Information 

System (EIS) web site. The rail yards inside the Charlotte nonattainment area were identified 

and the data summarized. See the Section 2.3.3 below for more detail concerning aircraft growth 

factors for future years.

2.3 EMISSION PROJECTIONS

2.3.1 STATIONARY POINT SOURCE EMISSIONS GROWTH

For the three Duke Energy Carolinas EGU facilities located in the Charlotte area (i.e., Allen in 

Gaston County, Lincoln in Lincoln County, and Buck in Rowan County), Duke Energy 

Carolinas provided the DAQ with the projected emissions for July for each facility for each 

future year. Projected emissions for July were divided by the number of operating days during 

July to estimate the average summer July day emissions. The emissions that Duke Energy 

Carolinas provided for each facility are shown in the tables in Section 4.2 of this appendix that 

summarize emissions by county and facility. 

 

For non-EGU facilities, the DAQ applied the growth factors shown in Table 2.1 to the 2014 base 

year emissions to estimate emissions for 2015, 2018, 2022, and 2026. These growth factors were 

developed from a combination of data sources. The growth factors were developed at the North 

American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code level from the following references. 

 AEO2014 South Atlantic Division, Value of Output (Billions of Fixed 2005 Dollars): This 

forecast was obtained from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) via special 

request.3 The forecast is prepared for the EIA’s South Atlantic Division which is a regional 

forecast that includes the following states: DE, DC, FL, GA, MD, NC, SC, VA, and WV. 

The EIA uses its own industrial classification system (i.e., REVIND followed by a number) 

that was mapped to NAICS codes by matching the growth factor reference description to the 

NAICS code description. For industries for which there was not a direct match between the 

REVIND and NAICS codes, a growth factor was developed and applied based on the total 

value of output for all industries included in the AEO2014 forecast. 

For some industries, the regional forecast showed declining growth (i.e., less than one) from 

2014 to 2026. For these cases, the DAQ reviewed the data and decided to set the growth 

factor to 1.00 to avoid underestimating future-year emissions for these industries. 

 AEO2014 South Atlantic Division, Employment: One of the NAICS codes (811310 -

Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment (except Automotive and Electronic) 

 

3 Annual Energy Outlook 2014, released May 7, 2014, http://www.eia.gov/forecasts/aeo/. Forecast obtained via 

email request from Kevin Ours, DAQ, to Kay Smith, EIA, regarding AEO2014 South Atlantic Division, Value of 

Output ($) and industrial employment forecast. Data provided includes annual historical data from 1990 to 2014 and 

annual forecast from 2014 to 2040.

Redesignation Demonstration and Maintenance Plan April 16, 2015

Repair and Maintenance) for a few facilities located in the Charlotte nonattainment area 

could not be mapped to a REVIND code; therefore, the AEO2014 employment forecast was 

applied for this industrial category. The growth factor reference for this category is 

EMPSER9 (Other Services (Millions of Persons)). 

 County Population Forecast: The Charlotte Department of Transportation developed a 

county-level population forecast for each county using the transportation demand model 

(TDM) it used to develop vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and vehicle speed data used as 

inputs to the on-road model. Population-based growth factors were developed from the data 

produced by the TDM and applied to categories for which their growth activity is correlated 

to population (i.e., Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools; General Medical and 

Surgical Hospitals; School and Employee Bus Transportation; Sewage Treatment Facilities; 

and Water Supply and Irrigation Systems). 

 No Growth: The DAQ reviewed the growth factors for industrial categories developed from 

the regional AEO2014 forecast as well as permit activity that has taken place in the state over 

the past few years. For some industries, it was clear that the regional forecast did not reflect 

industrial growth activity observed in North Carolina and the Charlotte nonattainment area. 

For these industries, the DAQ assumed no growth instead of using growth factors developed 

from the AEO2014 value of output regional forecast.

2.3.2 AIRCRAFT EMISSIONS GROWTH

Factors to grow aircraft emissions for future years were produced by running the FAA’s TAF 

model to produce estimates of aircraft operations from 2011 to 2015, 2018, 2022, and 2026. For 

each aircraft category, the 2011 operations estimate was divided into the operations estimate of 

later years to calculate the growth factor. The 2011 emissions were then multiplied by the 

appropriate factor to get the future year projection. For the seven airports of the seven Charlotte 

nonattainment area counties that appear in the TAF, growth factors unique to each of these 

airports were produced. For the rest of the airports in the seven Charlotte nonattainment area 

counties composite growth factors for each aircraft category were produced from the combined 

TAF projections for all of North Carolina. Growth factors for the air carrier aircraft were used to 

project GSE and APU since GSE’s and APU’s are most commonly associated with these larger 

aircraft. The growth factors are shown in Table 2.2.

2.3.3 RAIL YARD EMISSION GROWTH

Rail yard growth factors were calculated using national fuel use estimates for freight and for 

intercity passenger service found on table 46 of the Energy Information Administration’s 

AEO2014. National level estimates of fuel used in 2011 were divided into estimates of fuel used 

in future years to get projection factors. Fuel estimates provided were for freight service and 

passenger service. For the partial county nonattainment areas, the population fraction in the 

nonattainment area was used to adjust the county-wide rail yard emissions. The energy inputs 

and the calculated growth factors are provided in Table 2.3.

2.4 FUTURE EMISSION REDUCTIONS

2.4.1 STATIONARY POINT EMISSIONS CONTROLS

The emissions forecast that Duke Energy Carolinas provided for the three EGU facilities located 

in the Charlotte nonattainment area reflect compliance with the North Carolina Clean 

Smokestacks Act and the MATS rule. The forecast does not reflect any additional controls to 

comply with CSAPR. Therefore, if additional controls are installed to comply with CSAPR the 

emissions forecast may be lower than reflected in the forecast for the three EGU facilities. 

As noted in the SIP narrative, because of delays associated with the EPA’s promulgation of the 

boiler NESHAP, North Carolina adopted and implemented equivalent emission limitations by 

permit under Section 112(j) of the CAA.4 The inventory includes 20 natural gas fired boilers 

that are subject to the state’s equivalent emission limitations that became effective starting in 

2014. The base year emissions for these boilers do not include the effects of complying with the 

equivalent emission limitations. Although the focus of the Section 112(j) permit limitations is to 

reduce hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), some of the HAPs are also VOCs and compliance with 

the limitations will also reduce VOC emissions. The DAQ reviewed documentation that the 

EPA prepared for the NESHAP as well as other information sources and, based on the 

information reviewed, applied a 4% VOC emission reduction to the future year VOC emissions 

for each of the 20 boilers. In 2019, these facilities will need to comply with the EPA’s Section 

112(d) requirements; however, for natural gas fired boilers, the state’s Section 112(j) 

requirements are similar to the 112(d) requirements. Therefore, the DAQ did not assume any 

additional VOC emissions reductions associated with the Section 112(d) requirements starting in 

2019. A NOx control factor was not applied to the future year emissions for the boilers because 

the NESHAP is not expected to significantly affect NOx emissions. 

The Charlotte nonattainment area also includes small natural gas fired boilers that will be subject 

to the Section 112(d) requirements. These facilities will be required to conduct a tune-up and an

energy audit each year. After reviewing the available data and consulting with the DAQ’s permit 

engineers, it was estimated that these requirements may reduce VOC emissions by 1%. 

However, due to the uncertainty associated with this estimate, the DAQ decided not to apply any 

control efficiency assumptions in the forecast for small boilers. 

No other control factors were applied to stationary point source emissions for the future year 

inventories.

2.4.2 RAIL YARD EMISSIONS CONTROLS

The control factors shown in the Table 2.4 were calculated by using recommended emission 

factors for NOx and hydrocarbons (virtually the same as VOC) from Emission Factors for 

Locomotives, EPA-420-F-09-025. The control factors were calculated by dividing base year 

emission factors into the future year emission factors. Improving control factors are due to 

requirements for reduced emissions from new and rebuilt locomotive diesel engines. Future 

emissions were calculated by multiplying the base year emissions (2011) by the associated 

growth factor and by the associated control factor.

3.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE

The North Carolina emissions inventory has undergone a number of quality assurance checks so 

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

inventory database program helps insure that important data elements are present. Where the 

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

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

are careful that the tons-per-year emissions reported are accurate.

The detailed quality assurance and quality control procedures and measures, as outlined in the 

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

were applied to ensure the data meets specific data indicator goals and objectives.

5.0 DISCUSSION OF INDUSTRIAL POINT SOURCE CATEGORIES

Industrial processes in the inventory are identified by NAICS codes which is the standard used 

by Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the purpose of 

collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data related to the U.S. business economy. In 

general, the first two digits of the NAICS code describe the process and the remaining digits 

provide more detail regarding the fuel used, size of source, etc. The sections that follow 

organize the NOx and VOC emissions estimates for the Charlotte nonattainment area by the first 

two digits of the NAICS code. 

A listing of NAICS codes with descriptions may be found in http://www.census.gov/cgibin/sssd/naics/naicsrch?chart=2012. 

5.1 MINING, QUARRYING, AND OIL AND GAS EXTRACTION

(i.e., mobile homes), and prefabricated wood buildings. The production processes of the Wood 

Product Manufacturing subsector include sawing, planning, shaping, laminating, and assembling 

of wood products starting from logs that are cut into bolts, or lumber that then may be further 

cut, or shaped by lathes or other shaping tools. The lumber or other transformed wood shapes 

may also be subsequently planed or smoothed, and assembled into finished products, such as 

wood containers. The wood product manufacturing subsector includes establishments that make 

wood products from logs and bolts that are sawed and shaped, and establishments that purchase 

sawed lumber and make wood products. With the exception of sawmills and wood preservation 

establishments, the establishments are grouped into industries mainly based on the specific 

products manufactured.

Table 5.3.2 tabulates the emissions for the NAICS codes 32-xxxx, wood product manufacturing.

5.3.3 PRIMARY METAL MANUFACTURING 

Industries in the primary metal manufacturing subsector smelt and/or refine ferrous and 

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

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

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

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

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

products.

Table 5.3.3 tabulates the emissions for the NAICS codes 33-xxxx, primary metal manufacturing.

5.5 RETAIL TRADE

The retail trade sector comprises establishments engaged in retailing merchandise, generally 

without transformation, and rendering services incidental to the sale of merchandise. The 

retailing process is the final step in the distribution of merchandise; retailers are, therefore, 

organized to sell merchandise in small quantities to the general public. This sector comprises 

two main types of retailers: store and non-store retailers.

5.6 TRANSPORTATION AND WAREHOUSING

The transportation and warehousing sector includes industries providing transportation of 

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

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

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

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

water, road, and pipeline.

Industries in the pipeline transportation subsector use transmission pipelines to transport

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

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

refined petroleum products, and other products).

5.9 HEALTH CARE AND SOCIAL ASSISTANCE

The health care and social assistance sector comprises establishments providing health care and 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

based on the educational degree held by the practitioners included in the industry.

Table 5.9 tabulates the emissions for the NAICS codes 62-xxxx, health care and social 

assistance.

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE

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

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

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

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

The county is the geographic area for which emissions activity from area sources is typically 

compiled, primarily because counties are the smallest areas for which activity data is readily 

available for use in estimating emissions. Although both the North Carolina state and county 

agencies inventory all the criteria pollutants and a large number of toxic air pollutants, only 

nitrogen oxide (NOx) and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions are reported here since 

they are the precursor pollutants for ozone formation. 

The area source NOx and VOC emissions inventories detailed in this section were developed for 

the Charlotte-Gastonia-Salisbury, North Carolina marginal 2008 8-hour ozone nonattainment 

area, referred to as the Charlotte nonattainment area, as part of the process of redesignating the 

area from nonattainment to attainment/maintenance for the 2008 8-hour Ozone National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). The Charlotte nonattainment area includes the entire 

county of Mecklenburg and the nonattainment portions of Cabarrus, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, 

Rowan and Union Counties. The emissions for each of the six partial counties (i.e., the portion 

of the county that is included in the nonattainment area) were estimated using the ratio of the 

population for the nonattainment area to the total county population. The emissions for each area 

source category are reported for the 2014 base year and the 2015, 2018, 2022 and 2026 future 

years representing a typical, average summer day emission for the month of July. The base year 

and future year emissions were calculated by applying growth factors to the 2011 National 

Emissions Inventory, version 2 (NEI) emissions and projecting the 2011 emissions to 2014, 

2015, 2018, 2022 and 2026.

2.0 OVERALL METHODOLOGY

2.1 SOURCE CATEGORY IDENTIFICATION

The area source categories were identified from two United States Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) guidance documents: Procedures for the Preparation of Emission Inventories of 

Carbon Monoxide and Precursors of Ozone, Vol. 1, EPA-450/4-91-016, (hereafter referred to as 

the Procedures document), and the Emissions Inventory Improvement Program (EIIP) Technical 

Report, Vol. 3, Area Sources (hereafter referred to as EIIP Technical Report). 

2.2 EMISSION ESTIMATION APPROACH

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

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

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

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

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

source emissions: per capita emission factors, employment-related emission factors, commodity 

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

factors and emissions estimation methods used were obtained from the EIIP Technical Report, 

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

AP-42), or the emissions methods developed by the EPA for the 2011 NEI. The 2011 NEI 

methods were based upon the emission factor development work conducted by the Eastern 

Regional Technical Advisory Group (ERTAC) in conjunction with the EPA.

The area source emissions were calculated based on the emissions methods developed for the 

2011 NEI or the EIIP Technical Report and AP-42. The majority of the area source categories 

were calculated with the methods developed for the 2011 NEI because they incorporate the most 

recent emissions estimation methods that include the most up-to-date emission factors and 

activity data at the time this inventory was prepared. The remaining area source categories were 

calculated using the EIIP Technical Report and AP-42 because these categories were not 

included as part of the area source categories updated for the 2011 NEI, version 2. The 

following outlines the area source categories calculated using the emissions estimation methods 

developed for the 2011 NEI:

 Residential Combustion

 Commercial Combustion

 Industrial Combustion

 Paved and Unpaved Roads

 Charbroiling

 Architectural Surface Coating

 Autobody Refinishing

 Traffic Markings

 Industrial Surface Coating

 Dry Cleaning

 Graphic Arts Printing

 Consumer and Commercial Solvents

 Asphalt Paving (emulsified)

 Aircraft Refueling

 Agricultural Burning

 Forest Fires

 Open Burning – Land Clearing and Yard Trimmings.

The emissions for the following remaining area source categories were calculated using the EIIP 

Technical Report and AP-42:

 Asphalt Roofing

 Truck Transit

 Underground Storage Tank Breathing Loss

 Agricultural Pesticide

 Solvent Cleaning and Degreasing

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

Some of these methods include treating area sources as point sources, apportioning national or 

statewide activity totals to local (county or sub-county) inventory areas, or using population and

employment data. All of these methods were employed to determine the activity data needed for 

the various area source categories. 

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

available data were utilized, generally 2010. For truck transit, underground storage tank 

breathing loss, aircraft refueling and emulsified asphalt paving, the activity data used to calculate 

the emissions for these categories were purchased by the EPA for the development of the 2008 

NEI. For the 2011 NEI, the EPA did not update the activity data for these categories; therefore, 

the 2008 NEI emissions were pulled forward for the 2011 NEI. For agricultural pesticide, the 

2007 harvested acres and 2008 pesticide application activity data were the latest available for the 

2011 NEI emissions development. All of the stationary source solvent evaporation categories 

and charbroiling emissions were calculated with the 2010 population or employment because 

2010 was the latest available data.

For the fuel combustion categories, overlap between point and area source activity data which 

can lead to double counting of emissions. To avoid double counting of emissions, the emissions 

for area sources fuel combustion categories were adjusted to remove potential double counting of 

point source emissions. 

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

on employment. The latest available county-wide employment was obtained from the 2010 US 

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

Classification System (NAICS) codes at the county level. 

Additionally, many of the categories for the area source emissions use county population or the 

rural population portion of the county for the activity data. In order to calculate the emissions for 

these categories, the latest population data available, the 2010 population, was obtained from the 

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

US census data.

Table 2.2-1 contains the population for the Charlotte nonattainment area.

Table 2.2-2 shows the population percentages that were used to determine emissions 

contributions for the nonattainment portion of each partial county (except for Mecklenburg 

County). The population percentages were obtained from transportation demand modeling

(TDM) that the Charlotte Department of Transportation completed to develop vehicle miles 

traveled (VMT) and vehicle speed data used as inputs to the on-road model for the base year and 

each of the future years.

The 2011 NEI was the latest and most comprehensive area source emissions inventory available

to use as the starting point for preparing the area source emissions inventories for the Charlotte 

area. The Microsoft EXCEL software tool was used to project the 2003-2012 activity data for 

the various area source categories to the future years. Table 2-2.3 summarizes the growth factors 

used for the area sources categories. Due to some categories not expecting growth in future 

years and to maintain consistency with the EPA’s 2018 Emissions Modeling Platform (EMP), 

some area source categories have growth factors equivalent to 1.0.

3.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE MEASURES

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

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

references used in preparing this list for the emissions inventory. To ensure the accuracy of the 

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

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

Assurance Project Plan (QAPP). 

As part of the quality assurance process, emission sources whose contribution was either at the 

high- or low-end of the range of estimates were scrutinized more closely for reasonableness. The 

accuracy was addressed by performing independent checks of the emissions calculations and 

verifying the activity data and emission factors. As a quality assurance check for consistency 

and reasonableness, the 2014 base year area source emissions for each category were compared 

to the facilities included in the Base Year (2011) Emissions Inventory and Emissions Statements 

SIP that the DAQ submitted to the EPA on July 7, 2014, to fulfill the requirements of Sections 

182(a)(1) and 182(a)(3)(B) of the CAA.1

4.0 DISCUSSION OF AREA SOURCE CATEGORIES

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

source subcategories. Sections 4.1 through 4.3 addresses each of these categories and include 

subsections that correspond to that category. The objective of each subsection is to describe each

subcategory and the emission estimation and/or projection procedures. The latest available area 

source emission inventory is the 2011 NEI, version 2. The 2014 base year emissions and future 

year emissions for 2015, 2018, 2022 and 2026 were calculated by projecting the 2011 NEI area

source emissions

4.1 GASOLINE DISTRIBUTION

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

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

are included in the point source inventory, the area source category is limited to fuel handling, 

storage and distribution operations associated with gasoline service stations and refueling of 

aircraft.

4.1.1 Gasoline Dispensing Facilities

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

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

emissions that occur at each of the following operations: 1) losses during gasoline service 

station unloading, 2) truck transit losses and 3) underground storage tank breathing and emptying

losses.

Gasoline Service Station Unloading - Stage I Balanced Submerged Filling

For gasoline service station unloading, Stage I controls capture the displacement of gasoline 

vapors from the storage tanks during the transfer of gasoline from tank trucks to storage tanks at 

the service station. As part of the air toxics program, Stage I controls for gasoline dispensing

facilities was adopted by the state, effective May 1990 with final compliance by January 1, 1994. 

Stage I is the vapor recovery technology on the underground storage tanks and reduces the 

emissions during the tank filling operations at service stations.

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

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

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

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

verifying if a facility has properly maintained control equipment. If a facility is not found to be 
Area Sources Emissions Inventory Documentation

Redesignation Demonstration and Maintenance Plan April 16, 2015

10

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

facility that the controls are required and gives the facility time to correct the violation before 

fines are accessed. From this information the rule effectiveness and rule penetration can be 

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

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

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

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

the Mooresville Region Stage I vapor recovery reports supplied by the DAQ’s Mobile Sources 

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

entire state. The Stage I compliance factors are listed in Table 4.1.1-1.

Table 4.1.1-1 Compliance Factors for Gasoline Service Station Unloading - Stage I Controls

Rule Effectiveness Rule Penetration Control Efficiency

1.00 0.99 0.95

The emissions calculation was obtained from AP-42, Chapter 5.2-Transportation and Marketing 

of Petroleum Liquids, equation 1. Equation 4.1.1-1 was used to calculate the VOC emission 

factor. 

EF = 12.46 * S * P * M x [1-(RE * CE * RP)] 4.1.1-1

 T 

where

EF = emission factor in (lbs VOC/1,000 gallons)

S = Saturation factor

P = True vapor pressure (psi)

M = Molecular weight of vapors (lb/lb-mole)

T = Temperature of bulk liquid 540 Rankin (80o F = temperature of gasoline in July)

RE = Rule Effectiveness (decimal)

CE = Control Efficiency (decimal)

RP = Rule Penetration (decimal)

All of the variables used to calculate the emission factor for gasoline service station unloading

are listed in Table 4.1.1-2.

EM = EF * TGD * (1 year/365 days)

2,000 lbs/ton 4.1.1-2

where EM = total daily emissions in tons/day

EF = emission factor, equation 4.1.1-1

TGD = total gasoline consumed per county (gallons/year)

The 2011 county-level gasoline consumption was unavailable; therefore, the 2008 county-level

gasoline consumption from the 2011 NEI was used because that is the latest data available. 

Since the 2011 county-level gasoline consumption was unavailable, a 2011/2008 ratio was 

developed to apply to the 2008 county-level gasoline consumption to estimate 2011 county-level 

gasoline consumption. The 2010 Annual Energy Outlook (AEO) for the South Atlantic Region 

transportation motor gasoline energy consumption values for 2008 and 2011 were used to 

develop this ratio. A ratio was calculated by dividing the 2011 AEO transportation motor 

gasoline energy consumption, which is 3.399344 quadrillion British thermal units (BTU), by the 

2008 AEO transportation motor gasoline energy consumption, 3.466931 quadrillion BTU. The 

resulting ratio is 0.9805052. This ratio was applied to the 2008 county-level gasoline 

consumption to estimate the 2011 county-level gasoline consumption. The 2010 AEO for the 

South Atlantic Region was utilized to determine the ratio for 2011/2008 because the 2011 AEO 

did not contain the transportation motor gasoline energy consumption for 2008. The 2008 and 

2011 county-level gasoline consumption is shown in the table below.

For the 2014 base year and 2015, 2018, 2022 and 2026 future years, growth factors based on the 

2014 AEO for the South Atlantic Region was used to determine the growth factors. The 2014 

AEO was utilized because it contained transportation motor gasoline energy consumption for the

future years as well as the base year. The calculated growth factors were then applied to the 

2011 county-level gasoline consumption. The growth factors are shown in Table 4.1.1-4 below.

Truck Transit

Truck transit emissions are the emissions that emanate from gasoline trucks in transit. The 

emissions equation is from the EIIP Tech. Report, Chapter 11-Gasoline Marketing, 

Equation 4.1.3-3. 

EM = [TGD * EF * (1+0.09)] * (1 yr/365 days)

 2,000 lbs/ton 4.1.1-3

where:

EM = total daily emissions in tons/day

TGD = total gasoline dispensed per county per 1,000 gallons

LEF = loaded tank truck EF = 0.005 lbs/1,000 gallons

UEF = unloaded tank truck EF = 0.055 lbs/1,000 gallons

EF = LEF + UEF = 0.060 lbs/1,000 gallons

1+0.09 = 1+proportion of gasoline transported twice

The LEF and the UEF factors were obtained from the EIIP Tech. Report, Table 11.3-1. 

Underground Storage Tank (UST) Breathing and Emptying

The emissions equation is from the EIIP Tech. Report, Chapter 11-Gasoline Marketing, 

Section 3. The emission factor was obtained from EIIP Tech. Report, Table 11.3-1. The NEI

emissions were calculated using Equation 4.1.1-4.

EM = TGD * EF * (1 year/365 days)

4.1.2 Aircraft Refueling

Like vehicle refueling, aircraft refueling results in VOC emissions. There are two processes, 

Stage I and StageII, which generate VOC emissions. Stage I is the displacement of vapors 

during the transfer of gasoline from tank trucks to storage tanks and vice versa. The other 

process is Stage II that involves the transfer of fuel from the tanker trucks into general aviation 

aircraft. 

For Stage I and Stage II, the national-level emissions were calculated by multiplying the

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

the emissions. Once the national-level emissions were calculated, they were allocated to the 

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

for each PAD district. The PAD district for North Carolina is PAD district 1, which comprises 

17 states along the Atlantic Coast. The emissions were then allocated to the county-level based 

on the number of landings and takeoffs (LTOs) for general aviation flights per county. The 

amount of aviation gasoline consumed for PAD district 1 was obtained from the US Department 

of Energy, Energy Information Administration. The number of 2008 LTOs was obtained from 

the US Federal Aviation Administration by the EPA. The 2011 LTOs were not available for the 

PAD districts or the counties. For the 2011 emissions estimates, the PAD district LTOs were

grown from the 2008 PAD district LTOs. Since North Carolina is in PAD district 1, a growth 

factor was applied to the 2008 PAD district 1 LTO. The growth factor was calculated by 

dividing the 2011 PAD district 1 AvGas consumption by the 2008 PAD district 1 AvGas 

consumption. This growth factor were applied to the 2008 PAD district 1 LTO to estimate the 

2011 PAD district 1 LTO. The PAD district 1 growth factor is 1.3349.

The 2008 LTOs were also used for the Charlotte nonattainment counties because that is the only 

data that were available; therefore, it is assumed the LTOs remain constant between 2008 and 

2011. The VOC emission factors are shown in Table 4.1.2-1 and the 2008 LTOs are shown in

For Stage I, the US aviation gasoline consumed is generated for each VOC emission factor and 

the total consumption is calculated by summing these emissions. The NEI emissions estimate is 

shown in Equation 4.1.2-1.

EM = US VOC Emissions * (PAD 1 consumption/ US AvGas Consumption) * 

(County LTOs/PAD 1 LTOs) * (1 ton/2,000 lbs/year) * (1 year/365 days) 4.1.2-1

4.1.3 Portable Fuel Containers

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

of gasoline-powered equipment.

State-level VOC emissions were allocated to residential and commercial components for six 

categories: 1) vapor displacement while refilling containers at the pump, 2) spillage while 

refilling at the pump, 3) spillage during transport, 4) vapor displacement while refueling 

equipment, 5) spillage while refueling equipment, and 6) permeation and evaporation. Total 

state-level PFC emissions were allocated to the categories by using national level residential and 

commercial emissions for each of the six categories. After allocating the VOC emissions to the 

six categories, the commercial and residential permeation and evaporation categories were split 

into commercial permeation, commercial evaporation, residential permeation, and residential

evaporation. The state emissions were allocated to the counties by using the ratio of county to 

state fuel consumption. State emissions were multiplied by the county specific ratio to yield a 

county specific VOC emission for each category.

For the 2011 NEI, EPA used the PFC emissions generated for Mobile Sources Air Toxics Rule; 

therefore, the emissions are for the year 2010. Table 4.1.3-1 below shows the emissions from the 

2011 NEI.

4.2 STATIONARY SOURCE SOLVENT EVAPORATION

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

They include: dry cleaning, graphic arts, solvent cleaning, automotive refinishing, architectural 

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

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

the emissions from each of these sources is described in detail in each subsection.

4.2.1 Dry Cleaning

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

the most part, dry cleaning facilities (coin-operated and conventional) are small business entities. 

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

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

collectively. 

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

at dry cleaning establishments by a national per-employee emission factor, 10 pounds (lbs) of 

VOC/employee/year. The number of dry cleaning employees per county was obtained from the 

2010 USCBP. Table 4.2.1-1 below shows the 2010 dry cleaning employment, latest data 

available, used in the emissions estimation.

4.2.2 Graphic Arts/Printing

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

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

technology. Over the last decade ink-jet and offset lithography have emerged as the dominant 

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

solution and in the cleanup solutions have resulted in notable reductions in emissions for offset 

lithography. Ink-jet printing results in essentially no VOC emissions. 

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

arts operations at plants that are in non-printing industries. The emission factor of 201 lbs 

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

from the 2010 USCBP. The graphic arts employment per county for 2010, latest employment 

available, is in Table 4.2.2-1.

4.2.3 Solvent Cleaning and Degreasing

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

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

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

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

phase. Generally, these solvents have high vapor pressures which emit VOC emissions. 
Area Sources Emissions Inventory Documentation

Charlotte-Gastonia-Salisbury, NC 2008 8-hour Ozone Nonattainment Area Appendix B.2

Redesignation Demonstration and Maintenance Plan April 16, 2015

24

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

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

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

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

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

factor for degreasing is 36.965 VOC/employee/year.

Employment data was derived from the 2010 USCBP. The following table shows the 2010

employment per county for degreasing.

4.2.4 Auto Body Refinishing

Auto body refinishing operations consist of vehicle preparation, primer application, topcoat 

application and spray equipment cleaning. These operations result in significant VOC emissions. 

The emissions estimation is based on a per employee emission factor, 94.69 lbs/VOC/employee. 

The number of employees for 2010 was obtained from the USCBP, which are listed in 

Table 4.2.4-1.

4.2.6 Traffic Markings

The paint used in traffic markings operations (the painting of center lines, shoulders, etc.) emits 

VOC emissions during the drying process. 

The emission estimation used to calculate the traffic marking emissions is based upon the 

number of lane miles for each county. The number of lane miles was obtained from the North 

Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) for 2010 as shown in Table 4.2.6-1.

4.2.7 Industrial Surface Coating

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

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

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

during the drying or curing process. 

Two of the industrial surface coating subcategories, industrial maintenance coatings and other 

special purpose coatings, utilize per capita emission so the population shown in Table 2.2-1 is 

utilized to estimate the emissions. 

The emissions for the remaining industrial surface coating subcategories were estimated using 

per employee emission factors. For these subcategories, the 2010 employment per county were 

used to estimate the emissions. The emission factors are shown below in Table 4.2.7-1. The 

2010 county employment are in Table 4.2.7-2.

Most of the industrial surface coating subcategories are not expected to grow at a rate based on 

their employment projections; therefore, the growth remains constant for all years. For the 

remaining categories, the growth factors are based on USCBP employment data from 2003 -

2012 that was projected using the Microsoft EXCEL FORECAST tool. The employment data 

growth factors are based on fabricated metal product manufacturing (NAICS Code 332) for 

metal containers, transportation equipment manufacturing (NAICS Code 336) for new 

automobiles and aircraft manufacturing, and miscellaneous manufacturing (NAICS Code 339) 

for miscellaneous manufacturing. Table 4.2.7-4 shows the growth factors for each industrial 

surface coating subcategory that were applied to the 2011 NEI emissions to obtain the emissions 

for base year and future years.

4.2.8 Emulsified Asphalt Paving 

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

parking lots, driveways, walkways or airport runways. Asphalt concrete is a composite material 

comprised of a binder and a mineral aggregate. The binder, referred to as asphalt cement, is a byproduct of petroleum refining and contains the semi-solid residual material left after the more 

volatile chemical fractions have been distilled off.

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

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

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

operations for pavements up to several inches thick. 

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

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

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

Equation 4.2.8-1.

Asphalt Usage Factor = (tons of asphalt * 2,000 lbs / 8.34 lbs/gal) / 42 gal/barrel *

(county paved roads/state paved roads) 4.2.8-1

The 2010 county paved miles is from the 2010 Highway and Road Mileage Report from 

NCDOT. The number of paved miles per county for 2010 is listed in Table 4.2.8-1.

The VOC emissions were calculated using the emission factor for emulsified asphalt, 9.2 lbs 

VOC/barrel and the number of gallons of emulsified asphalt per barrel 42 gallon/barrel from 

Table 17.5-2 of the EIIP Technical Report. 

The 2011 NEI emissions for this category were not utilized because the EPA did not update this 

category for the 2011 NEI but used the emissions from the 2008 NEI. Therefore, the emissions 

for this category were estimated using the latest activity data available at the time, 2010. The 

emissions for 2011 were calculated using Equations 4.2.8-2. 

EM = asphalt usage factor * EF * (1 year/365 days)

 2,000 lbs/tons 4.2.8-2

where:

EM = total daily emissions in tons/day 

EF = emission factor

The 2011 VOC emission estimates from asphalt paving are listed in Table 4.2.8-2. The future 

years emissions for emulsified asphalt roofing remain constant. The VOC emission estimates, in 

tons/day, from asphalt paving for the Charlotte nonattainment area are listed in Table 4.2.8-3.

4.2.9 Agricultural Pesticide Applications

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

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

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

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

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

emissions associated with the application, regardless of the amount of solvent contained in the 

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

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

It is expected that little, if any, evaporation of solvent occurs in this type of application. The 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

active ingredient (pounds of active ingredient per acre) as a range of values.

The pounds of active ingredients for each crop were calculated by using Equation 4.2.9-1. 

(lbs AI/acre)CROP = ∑ (% acres treated) x (lb AI/acre)pesticide 4.2.9-1

where AI = active ingredient.

The emission factors for each crop were calculated by multiplying the 90% evaporation rate, 

obtained from the EPA, Pesticides - Agricultural and Nonagricultural, Vol. 3, Ch. 9, Section 5.1, 

Emissions Inventory Improvement Program, June 2001, by the weighted average VOC content, 

0.8349 lbs VOC/lbs AI, calculated using data from California's Department of Pesticide 

Regulation's Pesticide Product Emission Potential Database. 

VOC EF = (0.8349 lbs VOC/lbs AI) * (0.90) = 0.751 lbs VOC/lbs AI 4.2.9-2

The latest available harvested crop data, 2007, was obtained from U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, Census of Agriculture, 2007 and the application rate of active ingredient per treated 

acre was obtained from the 2008 Crop Life Foundation's Fungicides, Herbicides, and 

Insecticides database. The 2008 application data was latest available. The active ingredient 

applied was calculated from the Equation 4.2.9-3,

active ingredient applied = Σcrop,pesticide harvested acres × percent of harvested acres treated with 

active ingredient × application rate of active ingredient per treated acre 4.2.9-3

Table 4.2.9-1 shows the 2007 total harvested acres per county and the calculated pesticide active 

ingredient applied in 2008 per county.

4.3 OTHER MAN MADE AREA SOURCES

Other man made area sources include forest fires, commercial cooking and open burning. 

Agricultural burning is not included because, according to the NC Department of Agriculture and 

Consumer Services, Agronomics Division, the minimal agricultural burning in NC is performed 

in the coastal plains prior to soybean planting. The methodology used to calculate the emissions 

from these sources are described in detail in each subsection.

4.3.1 Forest Fires

There are two types of forest fires; wild fires, which are accidental or felonious fires and 

prescribed burns, which are intentionally set for the purpose of forest and/or grassland 

management practice. The number of acres burned in 2011 for each of these categories was 

obtained from the North Carolina Forest Service (NCFS) and are listed in Table 4.3.1-1.

The makeup of the plant life burned in each fire can vary from woodland to brush to grassland. 

The emission factors and fuel loading were obtained from the Development of the 2007 Base 

Year and Typical Year Fire Emission Inventory for the Southeastern States Air Resources 

Managers, Inc. – Final Report, May 22, 2012. The emission factors and fuel loading are based 

on the type of vegetation that was burned per fire for both the prescribed fires and wildfires. The 

VOC and NOx emissions were generated for each fire per county. 

The daily emissions are estimated by dividing by 365 days per year. The 2011 NEI emissions 

were calculated using Equation 4.3.1-1.

EMpol = (no. acres burned * fuel loading * EFpol) * (1 year/365 days) 4.3.1-1

2,000 lbs/ton

where:

EMpol = total daily emissions, in tons/day, per pollutant

Fuel loading = fuel consumption values, tons/acre

EFpol = emission factors per pollutant, lbs/ton

For forest fires, no growth factor is applied for the future years. The VOC and NOx emission 

estimates, in tons/day, from forest fires for the Charlotte nonattainment area are listed in 

Table 4.3.1-2.

4.3.2 Commercial Cooking

Commercial cooking emissions are for five source categories based on equipment type. 

Emissions estimates are for all types of meat cooked in a particular piece of equipment. Deep fat 

frying of french fries is also included. 

The emission factors were generated by taking the 2002 NEI emissions and dividing by the 2002 

population to develop per capita emission factors. The emission factors were developed and 

reviewed by an ERTAC advisory panel that was composed of state and EPA personnel. The 

charbroiling emission factors are shown in Table 4.3.2-1

4.3.3 Open Burning – Land Clearing and Yard Trimmings

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

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

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

emissions for this category assumes no growth for future years, therefore, no growth factors are 

applied.

Land Clearing

The amount of material burned was estimated using the county-level total number of acres 

disturbed by residential, non-residential and road construction. The acres disturbed reflect 

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

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

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

include Cabarrus, Gaston and Mecklenburg Counties, were assumed not to practice any open 

burning. Emission factors were developed by the EPA in consultation with the ERTAC and 

based primarily on the AP-42 report. The NOx emission factor is 5 lbs/ton and the VOC 

emission factor is 11.6 lbs/ton. 

The Table 4.3.3-1 shows the total number of acres disturbed by residential, non-residential and 

road construction.

Yard Waste

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

United States: Facts and Figures for 2010, residential waste generation accounts for 55% to 

65% of the total waste from the residential and commercial sectors. For the calculation of per 

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

was used to calculate a daily estimate of the per capita yard waste of 0.36 lbs/person/day. Of the 

total amount of yard waste generated, the yard waste composition was assumed to be 25%

leaves, 25% brush, and 50% grass by weight. 

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

estimates for leaf burning and brush burning were developed. Approximately 25% to 32% of all 

waste that is subject to open burning is actually burned. A median value of 28% is assumed to 

be burned in all counties in the United States. Table 4.3.3-3 shows the 2010 leaf burned per 

county.

Since it is illegal to burn within the corporate city limits, only the rural portion of the population 

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

2010 census rural population percentage to the total 2010 county population as shown in 

Table 2.2-2. 

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

given municipality or county. Counties that were more than 80% urban (Cabarrus, Gaston and 

Mecklenburg Counties) were assumed not to practice any open burning. Therefore, criteria 

pollutant emissions from residential yard waste burning are zero in these counties. 

Emission factors were developed by the EPA in consultation with the ERTAC. The VOC 

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

To avoid double counting, the 2011 point sources throughput is subtracted from the total 

throughput for each combustion source per county (i.e., industrial coal, industrial distillate oil, 

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

these sources have a potential to emit threshold of 5 tons/year or greater of NOx, VOC, carbon 

monoxide, particulate matter, and/or sulfur dioxide from a single facility. Point sources that 

meet this criterion are accounted for in the point source emissions inventory. The point source 

throughputs were obtained from the 2011 NEI for all of the counties except Mecklenburg 

County. The point sources throughput for Mecklenburg County was obtained from the MCAQ. 

If the point source throughput is greater than the area source throughput, the area sources

throughput is assumed to be zero.

The throughput for the industrial and commercial/institutional combustion (ICI) sources are 

shown below in Tables 4.3.4-2 and 4.3.4-3.

The ICI combustion sources emissions were calculated from the EPA 2011 NEI ICI emissions 

calculations spreadsheet. The emissions for this category assumes no growth for future years, 

therefore, no growth factors are applied. The 2011 NEI emissions for ICI combustion sources 

are shown below in Tables 4.3.4-4 and 4.3.4-5. The NOx and VOC emissions estimates, in 

tons/day, for the industrial and commercial combustion sources are shown in Tables 4.3.4-6 

through 4.3.4-18.

The residential combustion sources emissions were calculated from the EPA 2011 NEI emissions 

calculations spreadsheet, except for residential wood combustion. The residential wood 

combustion emissions were estimated from a tool that was created by EPA to generate the 

emissions from this category. The growth factors used for residential combustion assume the 

same growth factors used for the EPA’s 2018 EMP. The only residential combustion category 

that does not have growth factors applied is the coal combustion, which assumes no future 

growth. The growth factors that were applied to distillate oil, natural gas, LPG and kerosene,

were derived from the 2014 AEO. The growth factors for the wood combustion were derived by 

EPA from the residential wood combustion emissions estimation tool. The following table

shows the growth factors for residential combustion.

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE

This appendix documents the development of on-road mobile source emissions inventories and 

motor vehicle emissions budgets (MVEBs) for the Charlotte-Gastonia-Salisbury 2008 8-hour 

ozone marginal nonattainment area (hereinafter referred to as the “Charlotte area”) for the 

Redesignation Demonstration and Maintenance Plan for the area.

This appendix covers the emissions modeling procedures and results used to develop the oxides 

of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions inventories for the 

Charlotte area on-road mobile sources. The procedures and results for calculating the MVEBs 

are also covered.

2.0 OVERALL METHODOLOGY

2.1 INTERAGENCY CONSULTATION

Interagency consultation meetings with all involved transportation partners, coordinated by the 

North Carolina Division of Air Quality (DAQ), were held to develop the emissions inventory 

development project plan and schedule. The primary transportation partners involved in the 

Charlotte area redesignation interagency consultation process included the North Carolina 

Department of Transportation (NCDOT), the EPA, the Federal Highway Administration 

(FHWA), the Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization (CRTPO), the CabarrusRowan Metropolitan Planning Organization (CRMPO), the Gaston-Cleveland-Lincoln 

Metropolitan Planning Organization (GCLMPO), the Rocky River Rural Planning Organization 

(RRRPO), and the Charlotte Department of Transportation (CDOT). CDOT agreed to perform 

travel demand modeling (TDM) using the latest version of the Metrolina Regional Model 

(MRM14v1.0) to provide the speed and vehicle mile traveled (VMT) data for the areas within 

the Charlotte area. All planning organizations coordinated with CDOT to ensure that all planned 

transportation projects were accurately represented in the TDM modeling. The NCDOT also 

provided vehicle registration data and vehicle mix data for all Charlotte area counties.

The transportation partners agreed to the following general specifications for the inventory 

development process.

2.2 EMISSIONS INVENTORY YEARS

The following emission inventory years were selected: 2014, 2018, 2022, and 2026. MVEBs 

were developed for 2014 and 2026. 

Emissions inventories were also developed for 2015 to evaluate the sensitivity of emissions 

associated with relaxing the summertime Reid vapor pressure (RVP) gasoline standard in Gaston 

and Mecklenburg Counties from 7.8 to 9.0 pounds per square inch (psi) (See Attachment 1 to the 

redesignation request and maintenance plan).

2.3 MOTOR VEHICLE EMISSION BUDGET AREAS

The transportation partners unanimously agreed to the development of MVEBs for areas 

consistent with the jurisdictional boundaries of the metropolitan planning organizations and the 

rural planning organizations (MPOs/RPOs) as shown in the table below.

2.4 EMISSIONS MODELING APPROACH

Mobile source emissions were estimated by the methodologies suggested in the following EPA 

guidance documents: draft Emissions Inventory Guidance for Implementation of Ozone and 

Particulate Matter National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and Regional Haze 

Regulations, (EPA encourages states to follow the recommendations in this draft guidance until 

an updated version is released), Policy Guidance on the Use of MOVES2014 for State 

Implementation Plan Development, Transportation Conformity, and Other Purposes (EPA-420-

B-14-008, July 2014), and Technical Guidance on the Use of MOVES2010 for Emission 

Inventory Preparation in State Implementation Plans and Transportation Conformity (EPA-420-

B-10-023, April 2010).

The EPA guidance requires the use of the latest approved mobile source emissions model. The 

DAQ used the latest version of the MOtor Vehicle Emissions Simulator (MOVES) model

(MOVES2014) which was released on October 23, 2014. The guidance also recommends using 

local input data in lieu of the MOVES2014 default data to more accurately represent local 

vehicle fleet and emissions characteristics. The DAQ used local data wherever possible as 

described in Section 4.2 of this appendix.

MOVES-based emission inventories were developed for the maintenance plan base year (2014), 

the plan interim years (2018, 2022), and the plan future year (2026). Emission inventories for 

2015 were also generated for possible future use. Each inventory represents the estimated 

emissions for a typical summer day, specifically a July weekday.

Redesignation Demonstration and Maintenance Plan April 16, 2015

3.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE MEASURES

The quality assurance (QA) for the on-road mobile source category can be broken into two 

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

detailed in the paragraphs below.

After the speed and VMT information is acquired from the NCDOT, the speed information is 

checked for reasonableness against previous sets of speeds for the areas. Once the speeds are 

deemed reasonable, the DAQ enters the speed information into MOVES2014 input files. In 

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

and activity information. All input files are checked against a “key” with the original source of 

the information. This QA step is always performed by a person other than the one who 

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

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

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

the input files have passed through the QA procedure, MOVES2014 is run to generate emissions.

4.0 DISCUSSION OF MOBILE SOURCE EMISSIONS MODELING

On-road mobile sources produce NOx, and VOC, along with a host of other pollutants. 

Emissions of these two pollutants are estimated in the on-road mobile source inventory for the 

maintenance plan. The objective of the following section is to describe the source category, the 

input files, and the emissions estimation procedures. This section also includes tables 

summarizing the estimated emissions for the projection years by county. 

4.1 INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE

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

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

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

reflect the total emissions from this source category. 

4.2 MOVES MODEL INPUTS

All input data for MOVES2014 modeling is first compiled into county-level MySQL databases 

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

MOVES2014modeling runs are also created as MySQL databases. Due to their size and 

complexity, the MOVES2014input and output database files will be provided electronically.

4.2.1 ON-ROAD VEHICLE SPEED DATA

Emissions modeling using MOVES2014 requires vehicle speed input data formatted as fractions

of vehicle hours traveled (VHT) in each of 16 speed ranges, called “speed bins”, for each 

combination of clock hour/day type (week day or weekend day), vehicle type, and road type.

Speed Bin 1 represents speeds from 0 to 2.5 miles per hour (mph), and Speed Bin 16 represents 

speeds of 72.5 mph and greater. Speed Bins 2 through 15 each represent 5 mph speed ranges

between 2.5 mph and 72.5 mph. The fractions for each combination of vehicle type, road type, 

and hour/day type sum to one. To generate these average speed distribution input tables, the 

DAQ used spreadsheet-based data converters developed by the EPA to process the speed and 

VMT data provided by CDOT.

Raw Speed Data

CDOT provided the speed and VMT data covering all of Mecklenburg County and the portions

of the Charlotte non-attainment area within Cabarrus, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Rowan and Union

counties. The data were categorized by roadway functional class as defined in the FHWA

Average Speed Distribution Calculations

To generate the MOVES average speed distribution tables from the speed and VMT data 

provided, the DAQ used spreadsheet-based tools (developed by the DAQ and the EPA) to 

perform the calculation procedures described below.

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

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

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

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

unrestricted access roads category. In MOVES, the EPA recommends that the average speed 

distribution for local roadway activity be included as part of a weighted distribution of average 

speed across all unrestricted roads along with the distribution of average speeds for arterials and 

connectors. 

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

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

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

two adjacent speed bins. 

The general formula is: 

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

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

VHT Fraction A(low bin) = 1 – [(observed average speed – average speed of lower speed bin) / 

(average speed of higher speed bin – average speed of lower speed bin)] 

VHT Fraction B(high bin) = 1- [(average speed of higher speed bin – observed average speed) / 

(average speed of higher speed bin – average speed of lower speed bin)] 

Or more simply: VHT Fraction B = 1 – VHT fraction A 

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

roadway is 58 mph, the average speed distribution will be split between the 55 and 60 mph speed 

bins. The appropriate VHT fractions are found with the following equations: 
On-road Mobile Source Inventory Documentation 15

Charlotte-Gastonia-Salisbury, NC 2008 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area Appendix B.3

Redesignation Demonstration and Maintenance Plan April 16, 2015

VHT fraction A(low bin) = 1 – [(58 mph Avg. Speed – 55 mph (Bin Speed)) / (60 mph (Bin Speed)

– 55 mph (Bin Speed)] = 0.4

VHT fraction B(high bin) = 1 – [(60 mph (Bin Speed) – 58 mph Avg. Speed) / (60 mph (Bin Speed) 

– 55 mph (Bin Speed)] = 0.6

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

0.4 + 0.6 = 1

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

unrestricted access, urban restricted access and urban unrestricted access. This means that the 

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

create the speed bin fractions for combined roadways, the VMT for each roadway is used to 

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

access road types:

Road type Speed

(mph)

VMT

(hourly miles)

Urban Interstate 63 250,000

Urban Freeway 56 100,000

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

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

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

respectively. Similarly, the speed for the urban freeway road type (56 mph) is split between the 

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

The next step requires road type VMT to weigh the VHT fractions so that the final MOVES 

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

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

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

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

combined speed bin fractions:

VHT(Speed Bin X) = [∑(VHT Fraction(RT) × hourly VMT(RT))] ÷ [∑hourly VMT(RT)]

where:
On-road Mobile Source Inventory Documentation 16

Charlotte-Gastonia-Salisbury, NC 2008 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area Appendix B.3

Redesignation Demonstration and Maintenance Plan April 16, 2015

RT = the HPMS road type

In this example, the HPMS road types are urban interstate (UI) and urban freeway (UF) and the 

speed bins are 55, 60 and 65. The table below summarizes the speed bin fractions for this 

example.

Table 4.2.1-9 Example Speed Bin Fractions

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

Urban Interstate 0.0 0.4 0.6

Urban Freeway 0.8 0.2 0.0

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

restricted access road type.

VHT(Speed Bin X) =

[(VHT Fraction(UI) * hourly VMT(UI)) + (VHT Fraction(UF) * hourly VMT(UF))]

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

VHT(Speed Bin 55) =

[(0.0 * 250,000) + (0.8 * 100,000)]

(250,000 + 100,000)

VHT(Speed Bin 55) = 0.2286

VHT(Speed Bin 60) =

[(0.4 * 250,000) + (0.2 * 100,000)]

(250,000 + 100,000)

VHT(Speed Bin 60) = 0.3428

VHT(Speed Bin 65) =

[(0.6 * 250,000) + (0.0 * 100,000)]

(250,000 + 100,000)

VHT(Speed Bin 65) = 0.4286

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

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

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

4.2.2 VEHICLE AGE DISTRIBUTION

Local vehicle age distributions were developed from county-level annual registration data 

obtained from the NCDOT. For this analysis, the age distribution was generated based on 2013

data. The data includes the number of registered vehicles categorized by nine vehicle types and 

by model year, with individual model years listed from 2013 through 1974 and a combined 
On-road Mobile Source Inventory Documentation 17

Redesignation Demonstration and Maintenance Plan April 16, 2015

listing for all vehicles of model year 1973 and older. The vehicle count information is provided 

for nine vehicle types; light duty gas vehicles (LDGV), light duty diesel vehicles (LDDV), light 

duty gas trucks 1 (LDGT1), light duty gas trucks 2 (LDGT2), light duty diesel trucks 1 

(LDDT1), light duty diesel trucks 2 (LDDT2), heavy duty gas vehicles (HDGV), heavy duty 

diesel vehicles (HDDV) and motorcycles (MC). LDDT1 and LDDT2 are combined and labeled 

as light duty diesel trucks (LDDT). The DAQ used a customized version of an EPA vehicle age 

distribution data converter tool to convert the local county-level data to the appropriate age 

distribution input tables for MOVES.

4.2.3 VEHICLE MIX DATA

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

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

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

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

VMT by road type distribution. 

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

types. These road types are listed above in the speed assumptions section. It is critical for 

estimating on-road mobile emissions in an area to use data that accurately reflects the vehicles 

types traveling on each of these different road types. 

In August 2004, the EPA released the guidance document EPA420-R-04-013, Technical 

Guidance on the Use of MOBILE6.2 for Emission Inventory Preparation, which outlines how to 

convert HPMS traffic count data to MOBILE6.2 vehicle mix data. Outlined below is the 

methodology used to convert the 13 HPMS vehicle types count data reported to FHWA and 

generate a state specific vehicle mix.

The North Carolina HPMS data used to generate the statewide vehicle mix was based on 2013 

for the 2014, 2015, 2018, 2022 and 2026 modeling years. Table 4.2.3-1 shows the percent of 

VMT per vehicle type for each of the 12 road classes.

4.2.4 DISAGGREGATING STATE SPECIFIC VEHICLE MIX DATA FOR MOVES

The procedures in Section 4.1.4 and 4.1.5 of the Technical Guidance on the Use of MOBILE6.2 

for Emission Inventory Preparation were used to create vehicle mix tables used as inputs for 

VMT converter applications provided by the EPA. The procedures map the vehicle mixes 

shown in Section 4.2.3 (12 roadway functional classes, 13 vehicle types) to the mix matrix 

required for the VMT converter applications (12 roadway functional classes, 16 vehicle types).

The process also provides calculation of projected mixes for future years.

The resulting vehicle mix tables are presented in Section 5.1.

4.2.5 VEHICLES/EQUIPMENT: ON-ROAD VEHICLE EQUIPMENT

For MOVES emissions modeling, vehicle fleet characteristics must be specified from among 13 

source use types and five different fuel types (gasoline, diesel, compressed natural gas (CNG), 

ethanol, and electricity).

As per EPA guidance for state implementation plans and regional conformity analyses, the DAQ 

selected the appropriate fuel and vehicle type combinations that reflect the full range of vehicles 

that will operate in each county. All valid diesel, gasoline, CNG, ethanol, and electric vehicle 

and fuel combinations were selected.

4.2.6 ROAD TYPE

The MOVES model defines five different road types to categorize the roadways used in a 

particular MOVES modeling run. The five road types are:

 Off-Network (road type 1) – all locations where the predominant activity is vehicle starts, 

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

 Rural Restricted Access (2) – rural highways that can only be accessed by an on-ramp 

 Rural Unrestricted Access (3) – all other rural roads (arterials, connectors, and local 

streets) 

 Urban Restricted Access (4) – urban highways or freeways that can only be accessed by 

an on-ramp 

 Urban Unrestricted Access (5) – all other urban roads (arterials, connectors, and local 

streets).

The DAQ included all five road types in each modeling run as per EPA guidance. Including the 

off-network road type was necessary in order to account for NOx and VOC exhaust emissions 

from vehicle starts and extended idle activity, and VOC emissions from evaporative processes.

4.2.7 POLLUTANTS AND PROCESSES

County-level emissions for a typical summer day, specifically a July weekday, were modeled for 

each year of interest. Emissions from all processes that generate NOx or VOC, such as running 

exhaust, start exhaust, and evaporative processes, were included to ensure that all emissions of 

these pollutants from on-road sources were accounted for as required for state implementation 

plans (SIPs) or regional conformity analyses.

4.2.8 TEMPERATURE AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY DATA

Local temperature and humidity data are required inputs for SIP and regional conformity 

analyses with MOVES. For the Charlotte area on-road mobile source emission estimates, the 

DAQ used the average July 2014 24-hour temperature profile from the Automated Surface 

Observing System at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport. The temperature and relative 

humidity profiles used in the MOVES input files are listed in section 5.2. 

4.2.9 SOURCE TYPE POPULATION

Source type (i.e., vehicle type) population data are used within MOVES to calculate off-network 

emissions, which include exhaust emissions from vehicle starts and evaporative emissions from 

parked vehicles. Off-network emissions are based on both the number and type of vehicles in

the modeling domain. MOVES source type population input data consists of the number of each 

of 13 types of vehicles within the modeled area, which is typically a single county. Descriptions 

of the categories, which are subsets of the six HPMS vehicle classes, are shown in Table 4.2.9-1. 

The DAQ developed source type population input tables from the latest available (2013) countylevel vehicle registration dataset described in Section 4.2.2. The original data was processed in

three steps to provide source type population data to accurately represent the correct source 

types, geographic areas, and future years as described below.

Converting Source Type Categories

The DAQ used a customized spreadsheet tool, based on the EPA source type distribution tools 

and data, to convert the local county-level source type population data from nine vehicle types to 

the required 13 MOVES source types. This is the same process that was used for the source type 

age distribution data processing described in Section 4.2.2

Projecting Source Type Population Data to Future Years

For future year MOVES runs, it was necessary to project the source type population data for 

each county. The DAQ has determined that growth in human population is a suitable indicator 

of growth in vehicle ownership. This is illustrated in the FHWA Highway Statistics graph of 

Licensed Drivers, Vehicle Registrations, and Resident Population shown in Figure 4.2.9-1.

Charlotte-Gastonia-Salisbury, NC 2008 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area Appendix B.3

Redesignation Demonstration and Maintenance Plan April 16, 2015

Figure 4.2.9-1 Federal Highway Association Statistics Graph

The EPA has also indicated that using human population growth as a surrogate to project vehicle 

population growth is acceptable. To forecast future year vehicle populations, a reliable source of 

county population was needed. To ensure consistency, the same future year human population 

estimates used in the MRM TDM modeling were used to project county-level source type 

population data. An example of how a 2013 vehicle population was grown to 2018 based on this 

surrogate of projected county population follows:

Vehicle Pop 2018 = Vehicle Pop 2013 * (Human Pop 2018/ Human Pop 2013)

Scaling Source Type Population Data to Partial County Areas

The nonattainment area only partially covers six of the seven Charlotte area counties. To 

accurately reflect the source type populations in these partial county areas, the total county 

source type populations were scaled based on the ratio of the human population within the 

nonattainment area of the county to the whole county population, as shown in the following 

equation:

Vehicle Pop partial county = Vehicle Pop whole county * (Human Pop partial county / Human Pop whole county)

The human population data from the MRM TDM modeling was also used for these calculations.

4.2.10 VEHICLE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM PARAMETERS

In 2002, North Carolina implemented a vehicle emissions inspection and maintenance (I/M) 

program based on vehicle onboard diagnostics (OBDII). This program covers all light duty 

gasoline powered vehicles (designated in MOVES as source type IDs 21, 31, and 32) that are 

model year 1996 and newer. The program was initially implemented in 9 counties and was 

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

Gaston, Mecklenburg, and Union were phased-in July 1, 2002 followed by Iredell and Rowan 

Counties in July 1, 2003 and Lincoln County in January 1, 2004.

All MOVES modeling runs were executed with the appropriate I/M program parameters to 

properly account for the emissions reductions resulting from implementation of the program.

The magnitude of the reductions is scaled by the I/M compliance factor parameters, which are 

calculated based on I/M compliance rates and waiver rates. Also, the number of latest model 

years of vehicles to exclude from the I/M program testing requirements must be specified. These 

three parameters (I/M compliance rate, waiver rate, and number of model years excluded) are 

defined in the North Carolina I/M SIP. Due to upcoming changes to North Carolina’s I/M rules 

triggered by a state law, MOVES modeling for years 2015 and later used different parameters 

than for 2014. The law exempted all plug-in vehicles and the three newest model year vehicles 

with less than 70,000 miles on their odometers from emission inspection in all areas in North 

Carolina where I/M emissions testing is required. To allow for the exemption of these additional 

newer vehicles without increasing emissions, the compliance rate was raised from 95% to 96%. 

These revised I/M program requirements will become effective pending approval of the latest 

I/M SIP revisions by EPA. Table 4.2.10-1 lists the applicable I/M program parameters.

4.2.11 REID VAPOR PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS

RVP is a measurement of gasoline volatility. The use of lower RVP gasoline leads to lower 

VOC emissions from gasoline handling and evaporative VOC emissions from motor vehicles. 

Gasoline with an RVP of 9.0 psi is required during May through September for Cabarrus, Iredell, 
On-road Mobile Source Inventory Documentation 24

Charlotte-Gastonia-Salisbury, NC 2008 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area Appendix B.3

Redesignation Demonstration and Maintenance Plan April 16, 2015

Lincoln, Rowan, and Union Counties. Gasoline with an RVP of 7.8 psi is required in Gaston and 

Mecklenburg Counties during June through September.

To evaluate the sensitivity of NOx and VOC emissions to gasoline RVP levels, MOVES 

modeling runs for Gaston and Mecklenburg Counties were completed using both the current 7.8 

psi summertime RVP requirements and the 9.0 psi summertime RVP requirement common to all 

other North Carolina counties.

4.2.12 DIESEL SULFUR CONTENT

All diesel fuel formulations used the default diesel fuel sulfur content values, which are within 

the ultra-low sulfur diesel limit of 15 ppm.

4.2.13 FUEL SUPPLY AND FUEL FORMULATION

MOVES default fuel supply and fuel formulation data are categorized by fuel region ID –

counties with the same fuel region ID have the same fuel supply and formulation for a given 

year. The Charlotte area counties are covered by two fuel region IDs – 178000000 (Gaston and 

Mecklenburg) and 100000000 (Cabarrus, Iredell, Lincoln, Rowan, and Union). The default fuel 

supply and fuel formulations were used for all model runs based on the current gasoline RVP 

requirements described in Section 4.2.11.

Emissions for Gaston and Mecklenburg were also modeled to show the effects of revising the 

summertime gasoline RVP requirement to 9.0 psi. To accomplish this, the fuel supply and fuel 

formulation tables for those counties were modified to match those of the fuel region ID 

100000000 counties.

4.2.14 VMT DATA

The MRM VMT data for the Charlotte nonattainment area were generated by CDOT using the 

MRM14v1.0 and were provided to the DAQ on November 11, 2014. The MRM modeling 

incorporated the latest available socioeconomic, population and highway planning data. 

Tables 4.2.14-1 through 4.2.14-8 list the VMT data for all Charlotte area counties. The values 

represent the average annual daily vehicle miles traveled (AADVMT) for the specified 

county/road type/travel period designation.

4.4 MOTOR VEHICLE EMISSIONS BUDGETS FOR CONFORMITY

Transportation Conformity

The purpose of transportation conformity is to ensure that federal transportation actions 

occurring in a nonattainment areas do not hinder the area from maintaining the 2008 8-hour 

ozone standard. This means that the level of emissions estimated by the NCDOT or the MPOs 

for the Transportation Implementation Plan and Long Range Transportation Plan must not 

exceed the MVEBs as defined in this maintenance plan.

Safety Margin

A safety margin is the difference between the attainment level of emissions from all source 

categories (i.e., point, area, nonroad mobile and on-road mobile) and the projected level of 

emissions from all source categories. The State may choose to allocate some of the safety 

margin to the MVEBs, for transportation conformity purposes, so long as the total level of 

emissions from all source categories remains below the attainment level of emissions for 2014.

The DAQ has decided to allocate a portion of the safety margin to the MVEBs to allow for 

unanticipated growth in VMT, changes to vehicle mix assumptions and model uncertainty that 

will influence the emission estimations. The DAQ has developed and implemented a five-step 

approach for determining the amount of safety margin to apply to the MVEBs. 

Step 1 Percentage below the standard 

This component of the methodology takes into account the current (2012-2014) monitored ozone 

design value in the nonattainment area relative to the level of the standard. In the Charlotte area, 

the highest current ozone design value is 0.073 ppm. Therefore, based on the latest monitored 

ozone data, the area is 2.6% below the standard. For purposes of establishing for 2026, the 

mobile source emissions were increased by 2%.

Step 2 Account for unanticipated model input data changes and continued rapid growth and 

provide flexibility for counties that are small contributors to on-road mobile NOx and VOC

emissions inventory

All counties get an additional 5% of their emissions allocated to MVEB in 2026 to account for 

model input data changes that can impact the emissions. The model inputs include, but are not 

limited to, the vehicle mix assumptions and the vehicle age distribution. Additionally, 

occasionally there are updates to the mobile model which may impact the emissions. This 5% 

allocation will account for this type of change and added to the percentage in Step 1 in 

determining the final allocation to the MVEBs for 2026
On-road Mobile Source Inventory Documentation 35

Charlotte-Gastonia-Salisbury, NC 2008 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area Appendix B.3

Redesignation Demonstration and Maintenance Plan April 16, 2015

Step 3 - Provide flexibility and account for rapid growth for counties that are determined to be 

medium to small contributors to the on-road mobile NOx emissions inventory

 Counties with <8% of total on-road mobile source NOx and VOC emissions received an 

additional 5% of their emissions allocated to MVEB in 2026 (Iredell and Lincoln)

 Counties with 8% to 25% of total on-road mobile source NOx and VOC emissions received

an additional 3% of their emissions allocated to MVEB in 2026 (Cabarrus, Gaston, Rowan 

and Union)

Step 4 Account for input uncertainty in final year of the maintenance plan

An additional increase of 10% is applied to the 2026 MVEBs to account for potential changes in 

VMT, vehicle mix and vehicle age distribution. This additional percentage is added to the 

current percentages outlined in the steps above. The DAQ believes this additional 10% is 

appropriate for the 2026 because ozone values will continue to drop as NOx levels in 2026 are 

projected to be less than half of what they are currently in the nonattainment area. 

Step 5 Ensure the sum of the safety margins applied to the MVEB does not exceed 50% of the 

total safety margin available

The DAQ will implement a cap to the safety margin applied to the MVEBs. The sum of the 

safety margins applied to the MVEBs in the entire nonattainment area cannot exceed 50% of the 

total safety margin available. In this analysis, steps 1-4 accounted for 5% of the total NOx safety 

margin and 22% of the total VOC safety margin.

Table 4.4-1 summarizes the percent increase to the MVEB for purposes of transportation 

conformity for each county in the Charlotte nonattainment area.

The DAQ established 2014 and 2026 MVEBs for transportation conformity purposes based on 

the jurisdictional boundaries on the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) and/or Rural 

Planning Organizations (RPO) within the Charlotte maintenance area. Tables 4.4-4 through 4.4-

6 below list the NOx and VOC MVEBs. For 2026, MVEBs based on both the current and 

revised RVP requirements were established for the two affected MPOs (Gaston-ClevelandLincoln MPO and Charlotte Regional TPO-Rocky River RPO). Upon the EPA’s affirmative 

adequacy finding for these MVEBs, these MVEBs will become the applicable MVEBs for each 

MPO/RPO county grouping.

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE

This document (Appendix B.4) discusses the nonroad mobile source emissions inventory 

development for the Charlotte-Gastonia-Salisbury, North Carolina 2008 ozone marginal 

nonattainment area. The Charlotte-Gastonia-Salisbury 2008 8-hour ozone nonattainment area 

includes all of Mecklenburg and parts of Cabarrus, Gaston, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, and 

Union counties in North Carolina. The nonattainment area also includes York County, South 

Carolina. The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) has

developed a maintenance plan for the South Carolina portion of the nonattainment area. Contact 

the SCDHEC for a copy of the South Carolina redesignation demonstration and maintenance 

plan.

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

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

such as lawn mowers, chain saws, tractors, all-terrain vehicles, forklifts, and construction 

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

NONROAD2008a model developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA). This category also includes railroad locomotives and commercial marine vessels. No 

commercial marine vessels operate in Cabarrus, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, 

or Union counties so none are reported. Aircraft emissions, traditionally a nonroad category, are 

reported as point sources (see Appendix B.1) in keeping with the EPA practice for the National 

Emissions Inventory (NEI) where they are reported to occur at the locations of the airports where 

they are generated. Emissions from railroad locomotives operating at rail yards are now also 

reported as point sources since they occur at a fixed location (see Appendix B.1).

For this redesignation demonstration and maintenance plan, emissions of oxides of nitrogen 

(NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) were estimated for the base year of 2014 and 

future years of 2015, 2018, 2022, and 2026. Reported values developed from NONROAD2008a 

data are stated in tons per July weekday. Emissions from railroads are stated in tons per day.

2.0 OVERALL METHODOLOGY

2.1 SOURCE CATEGORY IDENTIFICATION

Nonroad mobile sources were identified from the EPA guidance document EPA-450/4-91-016, 

Procedures for the Preparation of Emissions Inventories for Carbon Monoxide and Precursors 

of Ozone (Procedures document). Nonroad mobile source emissions are estimated by the 

methodologies suggested in the EPA document, EPA-454/R-05-001, Emissions Inventory

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

Standards (NAAQS) and Regional Haze Regulations; EPA-450/4-81-026d (Revised) Procedures 

for Emission Inventory Preparation, Volume IV; Mobile Sources (Mobile Source Procedures); 

and from the EPA’s nonroad mobile model NONROAD2008a released July 6, 2009.

2.2 EMISSION ESTIMATION APPROACH

For the majority of nonroad mobile source categories, emissions were estimated using the EPA’s

NONROAD2008a model. Model runs were performed for each of the seven counties for each of 

the four years. The model runs were developed for a typical July weekday. For each of the six 

counties for which a portion of the county is included in the nonattainment area, population 

percentages were obtained from Transportation Demand Modeling that the Charlotte Department 

of Transportation used to develop vehicle miles traveled and vehicle speed data for the base year 

and each of the forecast years. The total county emissions were multiplied by the population 

percentages to calculate the emissions for the nonattainment portion only for each county. 

Railroad emissions for 2011 (Class I, II, III, and passenger railroad) were downloaded from the 

2011 NEI version 2. This inventory (other than passenger railroad emissions) was developed by

the EPA based on work done for the 2008 NEI by the Eastern Regional Technical Advisory 

Committee (ERTAC) . Passenger railroad emissions were developed by the DAQ for 2011. 

Growth factors were based on projected railroad fuel use. Future emission reductions due to 

emission control measures were calculated based on future emission factors published in the 

EPA document Emission Factors for Locomotives, EPA-420-F-09-025. 

For each of the six counties for which a portion of the county is included in the Charlotte 

nonattainment area, total county emissions from railroad equipment from the NONROAD model 

(used for maintenance) and locomotives were multiplied by the human population fraction for 

the nonattainment area to estimate partial county emissions. 

3.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE MEASURES

For the NONROAD model runs, the options files (files that display the variables used to setup a 

model run) and calculations were reviewed by a second person who did not perform the actual 

runs. The model results were also evaluated by comparing one county to another to see that the 

results were reasonable taking into consideration the differences between the counties.

Information about the quality assurance measures taken in developing the 2011 railroad 

inventory may be found in the EPA documentation about that project (Documentation for 

Locomotive Component of the National Emissions Inventory Methodology, ERG No.:

0245.03.402.001, Contract No.: EP-D-07-097). Passenger railroad emissions for 2011 were 

developed by the DAQ based on activity data from the North Carolina Department of 

Transportation. Work was carefully reviewed and passed the EPA requirements for inclusion in 

the NEI.

For railroads, since the nonroad inventory emissions originated from the EPA’s 2011 NEI 

version 2, they were developed with the NEI quality assurance measures. Documentation of the 

EPA’s quality assurance measures and additional information about the 2011 NEI may be found 

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

Emission Inventory, version 2 Technical Support Document. 

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

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

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

problems were identified.

4.0 EMISSIONS AND DETAILED METHODOLOGY

4.1 TOTAL NONROAD EMISSIONS

Emissions of nonroad sources reported as nonroad emissions are shown in Table 4.1. Airport 

emissions (aircraft and ground support equipment) and rail yard emissions are reported in the 

point source appendix. The asterisk (*) indicates a partial county. 

Modeling was performed to evaluate the sensitivity of emissions associated with relaxing the 

summertime gasoline Reid vapor pressure (RVP) standard in Gaston and Mecklenburg Counties 

from the current standards of 7.8 pounds per square inch (psi) to 9.0 psi. For the other five 

counties included in the Charlotte nonattainment area, the summertime RVP standard is 9.0 psi. 

The results of the modeling for the nonroad model categories and railroad locomotives indicates 

that the relaxation of the summertime RVP standard in the two counties does not change NOx 

emissions but does increase VOC emissions slightly. Therefore, the following tables show two 

sets of VOC emissions: one set shows July day VOC emissions associated with the current RVP 

standard and the other set shows July day VOC emissions associated with relaxing the RVP 

standard in Gaston and Mecklenburg Counties from 7.8 to 9.0 psi to be consistent with the RVP 

standard for the other counties included in the Charlotte area.

4.2 CATEGORIES FROM THE NONROAD MODEL

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

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

equipment categories. These include: 

Agricultural equipment Lawn and garden equipment, commercial

Commercial equipment Logging equipment

Construction and mining equipment Pleasure craft (recreational marine)

Industrial equipment Railroad maintenance equipment

Lawn and garden equipment, residential Recreational equipment

Additionally, the emissions are estimated for five different engine types, these include: 2-stroke 

and 4-stroke spark ignition engines, diesel engines, liquid propane gas and compressed natural 

gas fueled engines. 

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

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

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

in the Locomotive Engines and Marine Compression-Ignition Engines Less Than 30 Liters per 

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

Ignition Engines and Spark Ignition Recreational Marine Engines final rule (73 FR 59034). 

There are a number of additional improvements including the ability to model the effects of 

ethanol blends on fuel tank and hose permeation losses.

Redesignation Demonstration and Maintenance Plan April 16, 2015

The EPA has incorporated NONROAD2008a into the MOVES2014 model. There were 

problems with the initial release. Since there was not time to test the latest model release and 

become familiar with it, the DAQ elected to use NONROAD2008a. 

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

model were tailored to reflect North Carolina specific information. Copies of the options input 

files are in Section 6.0 of this document. The model was run for a typical July weekday for the

years 2014, 2015, 2018, 2022, and 2026. The seasonal file for the model was modified to place 

North Carolina in the Southeast states group rather than the Mid-Atlantic group. This change 

was made because the DAQ had reviewed temperature data for North Carolina compared to 

states in the Southeast and the Mid-Atlantic. The results of this comparison indicated that North 

Carolina temperatures are more in-line with the Southeast States. Future year estimates of fuel 

oxygen (due to Federal ethanol mandates) and fuel sulfur (due to the EPA requirements) were 

incorporated. Default data were used for the remaining input files used in the NONROAD 

model.

For reporting purposes, the resulting emissions from the NONROAD2008a model were totaled 

for each equipment category by county. The results for most of the equipment categories by 

county indicate a reduction in emissions with time into the future years. These reduced emission 

projections are influenced by several factors, including expected future changes in engine 

standards, fuel specifications, scrappage of old equipment, and activity levels. These future 

engine standards and activity levels are accounted for in the model.

The summary of the model results expressed in tons emitted per typical July weekday are 

tabulated in Table 4.2 through Table 4.11. As mentioned previously, emissions shown for the * 

marked counties are those for the nonattainment portion. They were determined by the fraction 

of the county population residing in the nonattainment area.

4.3 RAILROAD LOCOMOTIVES

Railroad companies are categorized by size (Class I, Class II, or Class III) and passenger service 

(Amtrak and North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Rail Division). Class I 

railroad companies are long haul operations, consisting of Norfolk Southern Corporation and 

CSX Corporation. Class II and Class III railroad companies are short lines serving localized 

markets. Amtrak and the NCDOT Rail Division provide passenger service. 

Railroad locomotive emissions for classes I, II, and III plus rail yards were developed by the 

EPA for the 2011 NEI. This EPA effort was based on the ERTAC inventory developed for the 

2008 NEI. Some of the details of the ERTAC work are based on proprietary information 

provided by the railroad companies. The calculation methodologies followed procedures 

acceptable to the EPA. Additional detail can be found in Documentation for Locomotive 

Component of the National Emissions Inventory Methodology, ERG No.: 0245.03.402.001, 

Contract No.: EP-D-07-097. As previously described, these freight railroad emissions were 

downloaded from the 2011 NEI. 

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

information supplied by the NCDOT and emission factors from Emission Factors for 

Locomotives, EPA-420-F-09-025. These 2011 emissions were added to the 2011 NEI to 

supplement the ERTAC estimates for the EPA. Information about track miles for passenger 

service for each applicable county were provided by NCDOT Rail Division. This was done for 

Amtrak routes and for the trains run by the NCDOT. Fuel usage and total miles for the NCDOT 

train were provided. Number of locomotives for each train was known. Assuming that the 

Amtrak locomotives had fuel usage like the NCDOT locomotive, fuel burned per year and 

emissions per year (applying the applicable emission factors) were calculated for each county 

traversed by passenger trains. The passenger railroad emissions for 2011 (submitted by NC) 

were also downloaded from the 2011 NEI for the seven counties. Emissions were converted 

from tons per year to tons per day by dividing by 365.

The 2011 emissions were adjusted by growth and control factors to the years 2014, 2015, 2018, 

2022, and 2026. For the partial counties, the population fraction in the nonattainment area was 

used to adjust the county-wide railroad emissions. Railroad emissions are shown in Table 4.12.

Railroad growth factors were calculated using national fuel use estimates for freight and for 

intercity passenger service found on table 46 of the Energy Information Administration’s Annual 

Energy Outlook,2014. National level estimates of fuel used in 2011 were divided into estimates 

of fuel used in future years to get projection factors. Fuel estimates provided were for freight 

service and passenger service. The energy inputs and the calculated growth factors are provided 

in Table 4.13.

Control factors shown in the Table 4.14 were calculated by using recommended emission factors 

for NOx and hydrocarbons (virtually the same as VOC) from Emission Factors for Locomotives, 

EPA-420-F-09-025. The control factors were calculated by dividing base year emission factors 

into the future year emission factors. The control factors in future years reflect federal 

requirements for new and rebuilt locomotive diesel engines that are phased in over time. Future 

emissions were calculated by multiplying the base year emissions (2011) by the associated 

growth factor and by the associated control factor.

5.0 NONROAD2008a OPTIONS FILES

Commercial gasoline for highway use is expected to be the fuel commonly used in nonroad 

gasoline engines. Most gasoline now sold contains 10% ethanol. It was assumed that this type 

gasoline will be chosen in the future years for nonroad use. Gasoline with 10% ethanol is 

allowed a 1 psi waiver for its RVP specification. For all years modeled with NONROAD2008a,

the gasoline RVP of 8.8 psi was used in Mecklenburg and Gaston counties where RVP of 7.8 psi 

is required. RVP of 9.7 psi was used in the remaining five counties where RVP of 9.0 is 

required. These values reflect current federal requirements and are consistent with the gasoline 

specifications for most gasoline vehicles modeled by the MOVES 2014 model for on-road 

vehicles. The results are displayed in Table 4-2 through Table 4-11. 

Note that the options files were prepared to also examine the sensitivity of emissions to gasoline 

RVP. Specifically, the RVP of 7.8 psi in Mecklenburg and Gaston Counties was relaxed to 9.0 

psi (9.7 psi commercial practice) as for the five other counties in the area for the years 2014,

2015, 2018, 2022 and 2026.

 REGION PACKET

This is the packet that defines the region for which

emissions are to be estimated.

The first record tells the type of region and

allocation to perform.

Valid responses are:

US TOTAL - emissions are for entire USA without state

 breakout.

50STATE - emissions are for all 50 states

 and Washington D.C., by state.

STATE - emissions are for a select group of states

 and are state-level estimates

COUNTY - emissions are for a select group of counties

 and are county level estimates. If necessary,

 allocation from state to county will be performed.

SUBCOUNTY - emissions are for the specified sub counties

 and are subcounty level estimates. If necessary,

 county to subcounty allocation will be performed.

The remaining records define the regions to be included.

The type of data which must be specified depends on the

region level.

US TOTAL - Nothing needs to be specified. The FIPS

 code 00000 is used automatically.

50STATE - Nothing needs to be specified. The FIPS

 code 00000 is used automatically.

STATE - state FIPS codes

COUNTY - state or county FIPS codes. State FIPS

 code means include all counties in the

 state.

This is the options file for the NONROAD program.

The data is sperated into "packets" bases on common

information. Each packet is specified by an

identifier and a terminator. Any notes or descriptions

can be placed between the data packets.

9/2005 epa: Add growth & tech years to PERIOD packet

 and Counties & Retrofit files to RUNFILES packet. 

------------------------------------------------------

 PERIOD PACKET

This is the packet that defines the period for

which emissions are to be estimated. The order of the

records matter. The selection of certain parameters

will cause some of the record that follow to be ignored.

The order of the records is as follows:

1 - Char 10 - Period type for this simulation.

 Valid responses are: ANNUAL, SEASONAL, and MONTHLY

2 - Char 10 - Type of inventory produced.

 Valid responses are: TYPICAL DAY and PERIOD TOTAL

3 - Integer - year of episode (4 digit year)

4 - Char 10 - Month of episode (use complete name of month)

5 - Char 10 - Type of day

 Valid responses are: WEEKDAY and WEEKEND

 OPTIONS PACKET

This is the packet that defines some of the user

options that drive the model. Most parameters are

used to make episode specific emission factor

adjustments. The order of the records is fixed.

The order is as follows.

1 - Char 80 - First title on reports

2 - Char 80 - Second title on reports

3 - Real 10 - Fuel RVP of gasoline for this simulation

4 - Real 10 - Oxygen weight percent of gasoline for simulation

5 - Real 10 - Percent sulfur for gasoline

6 - Real 10 - Percent sulfur for diesel

7 - Real 10 - Percent sulfur for LPG/CNG

8 - Real 10 - Minimum daily temperature (deg. F)

9 - Real 10 - maximum daily temperature (deg. F)

10 - Real 10 - Representative average daily temperature (deg. F)

11 - Char 10 - Flag to determine if region is high altitude

 Valid responses are: HIGH and LOW

12 - Char 10 - Flag to determine if RFG adjustments are made

 Valid responses are: YES and NO

 REGION PACKET

This is the packet that defines the region for which

emissions are to be estimated.

The first record tells the type of region and

allocation to perform.

Valid responses are:

US TOTAL - emissions are for entire USA without state

 breakout.

50STATE - emissions are for all 50 states

 and Washington D.C., by state.

STATE - emissions are for a select group of states

 and are state-level estimates

COUNTY - emissions are for a select group of counties

 and are county level estimates. If necessary,

 allocation from state to county will be performed.

SUBCOUNTY - emissions are for the specified sub counties

 and are subcounty level estimates. If necessary,

 county to subcounty allocation will be performed.

The remaining records define the regions to be included.

The type of data which must be specified depends on the

region level.

US TOTAL - Nothing needs to be specified. The FIPS

 code 00000 is used automatically.
