Please refer to the following steps when using these spreadsheets.

Boiler Information Worksheet

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

2. Please enter the control device configuration.

Emission Data Worksheets

The emission data worksheets are provided for each constituent or constituent family required for th

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

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

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

Boiler Operation Information

1. Please provide the values of all requested parameters for each of test run/sample.

2. Please provide any other supporting information or comments in the Other Supporting Informatio

Fuel Information

1. Please enter what types of fuel are being used in your boiler using the drop

You may enter up to 4 fuel types. If you are not burning one or more of the fuel types entered in one 

then enter an input rate of zero. 

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

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

Emission Data
1. Some constituents ask for the emission rate results of each run in two different units of measure, 

If emission rate results are requested in two different units of measure (ex. lb/MMBtu (Pounds per m
