## 1 ES.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Eastern Research Group, Inc. (ERG) completed the development of a comprehensive suite of growth factors for point and area sources. The growth factors were based upon a base year of 2005 and were developed for each ye ar between 2006 and 2035. Various demographic and economic data were used to develop the grow th factors, including: energy projections from the Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Annual Energy Outlook , economy forecasts from Economy.com, Texas-specific population projections, etc. In addition, an alysis was conducted to demonstrate growth factor variances.

The developed growth factors were submitted to TCEQ along with the final report. The point source growth factors and associated data were provided in Microsoft Access. The area source growth factors and associat ed data were provided in a TexAER loadable format, as well
as in a Microsoft Access format, where all fields are complete and all mandatory fields have been quality assured. All result ing TexAER loadable files will be entered into TexAER. Any errors or discrepancies identified in the TexAER loadable format or loading process will be corrected by ERG, or otherwise addr essed in consultati on with the TCEQ.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Emission inventories are a core component of air quality analyses. Inventories are used to estimate the quantity of emissions generated by a wide range of s ource types (i.e., point
sources, area sources, on-road motor vehicles, and nonroad mobile sources ) and pollutants (e.g., criteria air pollutants, hazardous ai r pollutants, etc.). Inventories are used as input s to air quality models for simulating air quality concentrations based on “business as usual” and/or control scenarios for determining future-year complian ce with federal National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) within Stat e Implementation Plans (SIPs).

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) uses base year inventories and future year projections to de velop SIPs. In general, future year inventory projections are estimated by applying growth and control factors to base year emissions. As part of a project completed in 2005, Eastern Research Group, Inc. (E RG) developed a suite of area source growth factors through 2020 (and backcas ting factors for years dating b ack to 1990) based upon a 2002 base year. For ongoing SIP develo pment, TCEQ now needs to estimate future year emissions out to 2035 for both point and area sources. As a result, the purpose of this project is theTCEQ, Projection Factors Final, August 16, 2010 

## 2 development of growth factors for cale ndar years 2006 through 2035 based upon a 2005 base

year.

The remainder of this report describes in detail the steps involved with developing the Texas county-level point and ar ea source growth factors. Th e remainder of the report is presented in the following sections:

• Section 2.0 describes the collect ion of data used to deve lop the point and area source growth factors;

• Section 3.0 explains the development of the point source growth factors;

• Section 4.0 explains the development of the area source growth factors;

• Section 5.0 briefly describes the data an alysis that was conducted following the development of the preliminary growth factors;

• Section 6.0 explains the final growth factor formatting;

• Section 7.0 identifies a number of important caveats associated with the use of growth factors; and

• Section 8.0 lists all references used in th e development of the point and area source growth factors.

2.0 DATA COLLECTION

As part of the previous 2005 project, area source growth fact ors were developed using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (U.S. EPA) Economic Growth Analysis System (EGAS) (U.S. EPA, 2006) using data and model inputs from the following sources:

• Policy Insight model from Regional Economic Growth, Inc. (REMI);

• Economy.com economic projections; and

• Energy Information Administration (EIA) Annual Energy Outlook (AEO)

. The development of point source and area sour ce category growth factors for calendar years 2006 through 2035 for this project built upon the 2005 project.

The project work plan (ERG, 2010) specifically indicated that the following data sources would be obtained and analyzed:

• Economy.com economic data and projections;

• Texas Industrial Production Index (TIPI);

• Annual Energy Outlook (AEO) ; and

• Internal data mappings from the EGAS model.

Beyond these identified data sources, ERG al so examined and analyzed a number of other supplemental sources of data under Task 2 (Obtain, Analyze, and Compile Growth Factor Data) of the project scope. A ll data sources reviewed for this project are described below.TCEQ, Projection Factors Final, August 16, 2010 

## 3 2.1 Economy.com Economic Data and Projections

Historical economic data a nd future year economic projections were obtained from Moody’s Economy.com (Economy.com, 2010). Econom y.com’s future year projections are recalibrated each month based upon the most recent monthly economic indicators. As a result, economic changes are gradually reflected over time in the future year projections. For instance, at the national level, future ye ar projections are currently bein g adjusted every month to account for the ongoing economic recession and other regional impacts. At the local level, the economic and demographic impacts of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 first appeared in the future year projections for New Orleans and southern Louisiana, only. Over time, the long-term ripple

effects of the resultant economic downturn and population shifts graduall y appeared in Texas and the broader region. Likewise, the effects of the ongoing Deepwater Ho rizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico have just starte d to appear in the future foreca sts for metropolitan areas located in Southern Louisiana (i.e., New Orleans, Houma, Lafayette, and Lake Charles) and the Florida Panhandle (i.e., Pensacola, Panama City, and Cres tview). It is possible that there may be potential long-term effects on the oil and petrochemical industry in Houston and Louisiana due to reduced drilling and production, more stringent off-shore permitting, and overall higher costs, but these have not been quantif ied in Economy.com’s future year projections (Di Natale, 2010).

The particular Texas data set obtained from Economy.com was county-level gross product expressed in millions of constant 2000 dol lars for each 4-digit North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code. These data were obtained in April 2010 at no cost through TCEQ’s existing Data Buffet license with Econo my.com. Product output data were obtained because U.S. EPA and the Emission Inventory Impr ovement Program (EIIP) have indicated that the use of product output as a gr owth indicator is preferred over the use of employment, earnings, or value added statis tics (EIIP, 1999). Although econo mic data from REMI‘s Policy Insight model are similar to Economy.com’s data, the Policy Insight model was prohibitively expensive and, therefore, not utilized for this project.

2.2 Texas Industrial Production Index
The project work plan identif ied the Texas Industrial Producti on Index (TIPI), produced by the
Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, as a potential source of projections data. Re search found that the TIPI measures the changes in output levels in th e Texas economy for the ma nufacturing (i.e., durable and nondurable goods), mining, and utility sectors on a monthly basis (FRB, 2010). Historical dataTCEQ, Projection Factors Final, August 16, 2010 

## 4 are available from 1969 to the present. The TIPI is not intended to be used for forecasting and, thus, projection data were not available from TIPI. Therefore, the TIPI wa s not utilized for this project.

2.3 Annual Energy Outlook
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Information Administration (EIA) annually publishes the Annual Energy Outlook (AEO) ; the 2010 version with pr ojections out to 2035 was released in April 2010 (EIA, 2010). The AEO provides sector-specific consumption projections, as well as production projections, at the regional level. Information regarding regional petroleum refining capacity projections is al so available. U.S. EPA staf f working on emission projections

have indicated that AEO is considered to be reliable source of projections data for combustion sources (Chappell and Bollman, 2008; Chappell, 2010). Therefore, the AEO was used extensively for this project.

2.4 EGAS Model
Although the EGAS model was not di rectly used to calculate gr owth factors, the internal data mappings of the EGAS Version 5.0 model we re reviewed. These internal data mappings were used as the starting point for the assignmen t of activity data surrogates to specific Source Classification Codes (SCCs) (Pechan, 2004).

2.5 U.S. EPA Projections-Related Research
The project work plan indicated that any U. S. EPA research into the relationship of energy- and non-energy-based emissions and the pot ential for growth factor development would be investigated. Since 2007, U.S. EPA has been analyzing a long-held fundamental assumption that economic growth is an appr opriate surrogate for emissions gr owth. In particular, U.S. EPA has been conducting a sect or-level analysis of energy (i.e ., combustion) emissions versus nonenergy (i.e., process) emissions for 10 ke y industries, which included the following:

• Petroleum refining;

• Pulp and paper;

• Iron and steel;

• Cement;

• Primary aluminum;

• Secondary aluminum;

• Black carbon;

• Copper;

• Sulfuric acid; and

• GlassTCEQ, Projection Factors Final, August 16, 2010 

## 5 At the time when the project work plan was de veloped, it was expected that the results of U.S. EPA’s analysis would be ava ilable for use in this project. However, this analysis has been undergoing internal U.S. EPA review for the past six months and is still not available for public use (Chappell, 2010). Although U.S. EPA’s analysis could potentially contain some significant findings related to growth factors, these findings could not be incorporated into the Texas growth factors due to the timing of this project.

2.6 Texas State Comptroller Data
The Texas State Comptroller has published hist orical and projected state product data for the period from 1990 to 2039 (TexasAhead, 2009). Although this time frame corresponds with the required growth factor pe riod (i.e., 2005 to 2035), the data were only provided at the state level. In addition, the product da ta were only provided at a fairly high level of aggregation (e.g., agriculture, mining, construction, manuf acturing, etc.). Therefore, these data were not utilized for this project.

2.7 Texas Workforce Commission
The Texas Workforce Commission published a lim ited set of employment projections for the 28 Workforce Development Areas (WDAs) lo cated in Texas (TWC, 2010). The employment projections covered a 10-year period of time from 2006-2016 and we re disaggregated to the 3- digit NAICS level (with some lim ited details down to the 4-digit NAICS level). Because of the short projection time frame, these data were not used for this project.

2.8 Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas

The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas was cont acted about long-term industry projections. Specific sector-level projections were not avai lable. However, Federal Reserve Bank staff indicated that over the last 30 years, annual Te xas growth has been approximately 1 percent higher than the national average and it is expected that this trend will continue for the next 20 years (Davalos, 2010; Saving, 2009).

2.9 Industry Associations
As part of ERG’s research effort, various i ndustry trade associati ons were contacted to identify potential sources of projections data. In particular, focus was given to five major industry sectors (i.e., electric power generation, transmission, and distribution; oil and gasTCEQ, Projection Factors Final, August 16, 2010 

## 6 extraction; basic chemical manufacturing; pe troleum and coal products manufacturing; and natural gas pipeline transportation).

For the electric power generation, transmission, and distribution sector, ERG contacted the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) . However, the PUCT does not address electricity generation and sugge sted contacting the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). The PUCT is involved with electricity transmission and distribution companies, but does not develop long-term transmission and dist ribution growth projections (Gilbertson, 2010). The ERCOT was also contacted regarding availa ble long-term projections (Gage, 2010). However, ERCOT’s forecast is limited to a 10-year plan that was developed using a set of econometric model utilizing weathe r, economic, and demographic data to project the trends of historical load data for the past 6 years (ERCOT, 2009).

For the remaining four major industry sectors (i .e., oil and gas extraction; basic chemical manufacturing; petroleum a nd coal products manufacturing; and natural gas pipeline transportation), ERG contacted the following industry groups:

• Texas Energy Group;

• Texas Alliance of Energy Producers;

• Society of Petroleum Engineers;

• Texas Oil and Gas Association;

• Texas Chemical Council (TCC);

• Clean Coal Technology Foundation of Texas;

• Natural Gas Supply Association (NGSA); and

• Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (INGAA).

No projections information was obtained from any of these industry groups.

3.0 DEVELOPMENT OF POINT SOURCE GROWTH FACTORS

The development of point source growth f actors was also conducted under Task 2 - Obtain, Analyze, and Compile Growth Factor Data of the project scope. Because of the large number of industry sectors associated with TCEQ’s point source in ventory, a prioritized approach was used to assess the importance of i ndividual point source sectors. Since one of the primary uses of future year projected inventories in Texas will be for ozone SIPs, ERG ranked the existing 2005 TCEQ point source inventor y by volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen oxide (NO x 

## ) emissions for each sector (as define d by 4-digit NAICS code). The mostTCEQ, Projection Factors Final, August 16, 2010

The difference between the growth factors was calculated by subtracting the output-based growth factor from the employment-based gr owth factor. Thus, a positive difference represents a larger employ ment-based growth factor, while a negative difference represents a larger output-based growth factor. The maximum and minimum

differences are shown in Table 3-3.

From Table 3-3, it can be seen that there is a wide disparity be tween the employmentbased growth factors and the out put-based growth factors. Si nce there are both positive and negative differences for most 3-digit NAICS code s, it is not clear whet her the employment-based growth factors or output-based growth factors are more accurate. For the positive differences (i.e., larger employment-based gr owth factors than output-based growth factors), one plausible explanation is an expected incr ease in administration and other s upport staff that do not directly impact output production. For negative differences (i.e., larger out put-based growth factors than employment-based growth factor s), a possible explanation is e xpected increases in sector efficiency which boost output without requiri ng additional employment. Based upon the wide variability of differences shown in Table 3-3, and since U.S. EPA and the Emission Inventory Improvement Program have indicated that the us e of product output as a growth indicator is preferred over the use of employment, earni ngs, or value added st atistics (EIIP, 1999), the Economy.com output data were used to develop gr owth factors for 15 of the 20 most significant point source sectors (i.e., all sectors listed in Table 3-1, except for 2211, 3241, 4861, 4862, and 4869).TCEQ, Projection Factors Final, August 16, 2010

## Economy.com output based growth factors we re not used for NAICS 2211 (Electric Power Generation, Transmission, and Distribution) b ecause of the availability of Texas-specific projections in the AEO (EIA, 2010). Fuel-specific genera tion projections for the ERCOT electricity market module region (or power pool) were obtained fr om the Main Reference Case

Tables of the AEO (Table 73: Electric Power Projections for Electricity Mark et Module Regions – Electric Reliability Council of Texas) (EIA , 2010). The ERCOT region covers the vast majority of Texas; only small portions of the st ate fall in other regions (i.e., portions of the

Panhandle and northeast Texas in th e Southwest Power Pool [SPP], portions of east Texas in the Southeastern Electric Reliability Council [SERC] , and far west Texas in the Rocky Mountain Power Area [RA]). It was assumed that the ERCOT region was applicable for the entire state.

These AEO generation projections were previously used by ERG for development of 2018 projected inventories for the Western Regional Air Partnership and are generally assumed to beTCEQ, Projection Factors Final, August 16, 2010 

## 11 of high quality. It should be noted that although the Texas po pulation is expected to grow steadily, there appear to be some slight decreas es in the electricity generation projections. Definitive answers cannot be provided without an extensive analysis of the AEO modeling, but the decreases in the electricity generation projections may be due to conservation efforts and demand-side management.

Originally, ERG intended to use the Economy.com output data for NAICS 3241 (Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing) (i .e., including refineries). However, TCEQ review of the initial projections based on Economy.com output data indicated a decrease, in spite of an increase in output data in a number of relate d sectors (e.g., organic chemicals, carbon black, plastics, petroleum bulk st ations, special warehousing and storage, etc.) (Muldoon, 2010). Thus, instead of Economy.com output data, ERG used AEO domestic refining capacity data (Table 102: Domestic Refinery Distillation Base Capacity and Expansion) for Petroleum Administration for Defense (PAD) District III (i.e., Alabama, Ar kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Texas) to project NAICS 3241 (EIA, 2010).

ERG also originally intende d to use Economy.com output data for NAICS 4861 (Pipeline Transportation of Crude Oil), 4862 (Pipeline Tran sportation of Natural Gas), and 4869 (Other Pipeline Transportation). However, after co mpiling the Economy.com output data, it was unexpectedly determined that Economy.com output da ta were entirely unavailable for these three NAICS codes. Economy.com staff were contacted in an effort to identify the reason for the unavailability of output data fo r these three NAICS code. The Economy.com staff response was that for specialized industries (i .e., pipeline transportati on) that there is ty pically one of three underlying reasons for data unavailability: a small industry sample size, a poor industry response, or one dominant establishment. If one of these reasons occurs, then the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), whose data Economy.com uses, will not publish employment estimates in order to maintain data quality and to pr otect the privacy of su rvey respondents (McGee, 2010a). Another potential reason is that pipelines , unlike most other trad itional point sources, stretch across multiple counties. As a result, it is probably very difficult to allocate output, employment, and other economic data associated with pipelines to individual counties. Instead of Economy.com data, AEO crude oil and natural gas production data (Table 113: Lower 48

Crude Oil Production and Wellhead Prices by Supply Region; Tabl e 114: Lower 48 Natural Gas Production and Wellhead Prices by Supply Region) for the Gulf Coast and Southwest Oil andTCEQ, Projection Factors Final, August 16, 2010 

## 12 Gas Supply Model Regions were used to project NAICS codes 4861 and 4862, respectively (EIA, 2010). Since the specific definition of NAICS 4869 (Other Pipeline Transportation) is ambiguous, Economy.com data for NAICS 3251 (Basic Chemical Manufacturing) were used as a
surrogate.

3.2 Less Significant Point Source Sectors
For the less significant point source sectors (i.e., the bottom 10 percent of the VOC and

NO x 

## point source inventories), the Economy.com output data were used as the starting point for the development of growth factors for all sector/county combinations. The sector-specific growth factor for a particular year was estimated by dividing the sector-specific output for that year by the sector specific output for the 2005 base year. A gr owth factor greater than 1.0000 indicates (positive) growth, while growth factor less than 1.0000 indicates a contracting sector. A growth factor of exactl y 1.0000 represents no growth.

3.3 All Point Source Sectors
One particular area of concern associated w ith the use of Economy.com output data for both the more and less significant point sour ce sectors was that fo r certain NAICS/county combinations the derived growth factors may be ove rly large. In some cases, this may, in fact, represent an industry sector that is growing rapidly. However, in other instances, these growth factors may be the result of insignificant county- level outputs. County-level output estimates are based upon detailed county-level employment estim ates and the Bureau of Economic Analysis’ (BEA) state- and metropolitan area -level output data. For the larger countie s, actual output data
exist; however, for the smaller counties, Economy.com gap-fills the output estimates by allocating the state-level output (minus actual output data fo r the large counties) based upon employment estimates. For some NAICS/county combinations, the output estimates are as small

as 1 x 10 -8 

## million dollars (i.e., 1 cent). These small output estimates are not realistic and are simply an artifact of Economy.com’s gap-filling process. After consulting with TCEQ staff, it was decided that for any NAICS/county combinations (both more and less significant sectors) with 2005 output values less than $1,000,000 that growth factors w ould be based on county-level population growth instead of output data from Ec onomy.com. The basis of this decision was that BEA does not report any data less than $1,000,000 (McGee, 2010b). This substitution of county-level population growth instead of Ec onomy.com output data was used for 48,939 point source NAICS/county combinations out of a total of 72,136.TCEQ, Projection Factors Final, August 16, 2010 

## 13 4.0 DEVELOPMENT OF AREA SOURCE GROWTH FACTORS

The development of area source growth factor s was also conducted under Task 2 (Obtain, Analyze, and Compile Growth Factor Data) of the project scope. After analyzing all of the collected data, the specific data assignment s for each area source category were developed. These data assignments are presented in Table 4-1. Table 4-1 includes a comprehensive listing of all area source categories in cluded in TCEQ’s existing area source inventory. At the request of TCEQ, some additional area sour ce categories have been added, including: disaggregated oil and gas categories, gas cans, and various minor point source categories developed by ERG under previous projects (ERG, 2009a; ERG, 2009b).

The project work plan indicated that the EGAS internal data mappings would be used as the starting point for the data assignments of gr owth factors to specific area source categories (ERG, 2010). Some of the EGAS internal data mappings were followed exactly, but significant adjustments were made to other mappings. Thes e adjustments included adjustment from SIC codes to NAICS codes, expanded use of Econom y.com output data (adj usted with population growth data for NAICS/county combinati ons with less than $1,000,000 output in 2005), expanded use of AEO data, use of Texas-spec ific population projections , and use of flat/no growth factors. These adju stments are described below.

4.1 Adjustment from SIC Codes to NAICS Codes
For many industrial categories, the EGAS mode l utilized SIC-specific output data from

REMI’s Policy Insight model. However, economic data ha ve transitioned from SIC-based reporting to NAICS-based reporting over the last couple of years. Therefore, the available Economy.com data were all in te rms of NAICS. In general, th e equivalence between SIC codes and NAICS codes was fairly st raightforward, but a few cases required some engineering judgment to assign an appropriate NAICS code.

4.2 Expanded Use of Ec onomy.com Output Data
In some instances, the Economy.com NAICS-based output data were more detailed than

the Policy Insight SIC-based output data. Th is allowed output data to be used for additional source categories. Some examples included commercial cooking (SCC 2302xxxxxx), construction (SCC 2311xxxxxx), gra phic arts (SCC 2425000000), etc.TCEQ, Projection Factors

## 31 Economy.com output data were obtained for all ar ea source categories indicated in Table 4-1. These include individual 4-digit NAICS (e.g., 3121, etc.) and multiple aggregated NAICS (e.g., 3xxx, etc.). For the multiple aggregated NAICS, output data for all the indi vidual NAICS within the group were aggregated together fo r each county, by year, before ca lculating the growth factors.

As discussed in Section 3.3 for point sour ces, any NAICS/county combinations with 2005 output values less than $1,000,000 used county-leve l population growth instead of Economy.com output data. The basis for this d ecision was that one particular area of concern associated with the use of Economy.com output data was that fo r certain NAICS/county combinations the derived growth factors may be overly large. In some cases , this may, in fact, represent an industry sector that is growing rapidly. However, in other instances, th ese growth factors may be the result of insignificant county-level outputs. County-level output estimates are based upon detailed countylevel employment estimates and the Bureau of Economic Analysis’ (BEA) state- and metropolitan area-level output data. For the la rger counties, actual output data exist; however, for the smaller counties, Economy.com ga p-fills the output estimates by alloca ting the state-level output (minus actual output data for the large counties) ba sed upon employment estimates. For some NAICS/county combinations, the output estimates are as small as 1 x 10 -8 

## million dollars (i.e., 1 cent). These small output estimates are not realis tic and are simply an artifact of Economy.com’s gap-filling process. After cons ulting with TCEQ staff, it was decided that for any NAICS/county combinations with 2005 output values less than $1,000,000 that growth factors would be based on county-level population growth instead of output data from Economy.com. The substitution of Economy.com output data with population is show n in Table 4-1 by indicating the number of counties for which Economy.com output data were maintained and the number of counties for which population data were substituted.

4.3 Expanded Use of Annual Energy Outlook Data

The EGAS model utilized AEO consumption data for the industrial,
commercial/institutional, and residential fuel combustion area source categories (i.e., SCC 2102xxxxxx, 2103xxxxxx, and 2104xxxxxx). These assignments we re maintained in Table 4-1. As part of this project, use of the AEO data were expanded to additiona l area source categories. In particular, total fuel-specific (e.g., gasoline, distil late, residual, kerosene) consumption data were applied to the petroleum storage and tran sport categories (i.e., SCC 2501xxxxxx and 2505xxxxxx).TCEQ, Projection Factors Final, August 16, 2010 

## 32 In addition, AEO oil and gas production data were applied to oil and gas production categories (i.e., SCC 2310xxxxxx). The consumption data were not available at the state-level; instead, consumption data for the West S outh Central census division (i.e ., Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas). Given the relative size of Texas consumption activity compared to the other three states the application of the We st South Central census divisi on to Texas is a reasonable assumption. Likewise, the AEO oil and gas production data were not available at the state-level either. Instead, production data were reported at the oil and gas supply model regions level. The two relevant oil and gas supply model regions that included Texas were the Gulf Coast and Southwest regions.

4.4 Use of Texas-Specific Population Projections
The most recent Texas-specific population projec tions were obtained from the Texas State Demographer at the Texas State Da ta Center (TSDC, 2008). Compar ed to other types of activity data used for area source projec tions, population projecti ons are considered to typically be more accurate. This accuracy is due to birth and death rates being fairly well understood and quantified.
In addition, birth and death rates us ually have considerable inertia and do not change significantly from year to year. The uncertainty of population projections is primarily due to immigration and sudden population influxes (e.g., the evacuation of New Orleans in th e wake of Hurricane Katrina, etc.). As shown in Figure 4-1, the county-le vel population projection fa ctors from 2005 to 2035 ranged from a minimum of 0.7812 for Llano Coun ty to 1.7110 for Webb County. The population projection factor for Loving County was even lower (i.e., 0.7463), but with a starting 2005 population of 67, it was considered to be an out lier. A total of 43 counties had decreasing population between 2005 and 2035; however, most of these counties were comparatively small with the largest county having a 2005 popul ation of 42,725 (i.e., Kerr County).

The statewide population growth projection factor from 2005 to 2035 was 1.1809, while the growth projection factor for the 10 most populous counties (i.e., Bexar, Co llin, Dallas, Denton, El Paso, Fort Bend, Harris, Hidalgo, Tarrant, and Travis counties) was slightly higher at 1.2025. These 10 counties comprised over 57 percent of the state popul ation in 2005. The individual county-level population projections for these 10 most populous count ies are shown in Figure 4-2. As shown in Figure 4-2, the population projections for 8 of these 10 counties (i.e., Bexar, Collin,
Dallas, Denton, Fort Bend, Harris, Tarrant, and Travis counties) track fairly closely with state andTCEQ, Projection Factors Final, August 16, 2010 

## 33 aggregated 10 county projections with 2035 pr ojection factors ranging from 1.1392 to 1.1922. The two counties that significantly vary from the stat e and aggregated 10 county projections are Hidalgo and El Paso counties with 2035 projecti on factors of 1.5579 and 1.3474, respectively.

4.5 Use of Flat/No Growth Factors
For a few source categories, th e EGAS model assigned flat or no growth factors (i.e., 1.0000). These source categories included a number of categories that either were not expected to vary significantly from year to year or appropriate activity data could not be reasonably assigned. Some examples included forest w ildfires, catastrophic/ accidental releases, and ammonia emissions
from wild animals. For this effort, the flat factor was also assigned to all of the agricultural source categories (SCC 2801xxxxxx) a nd livestock ammonia cat egories (SCC 2805xxxxxx). The agricultural source categories were previously assi gned value added data from farms, but since total agricultural acreage does not signifi cantly change over time it was deci ded that a flat factor would be more appropriate. Various types of livestock va ry from year to year, but these variations are often cyclical in nature and are in response to market forces. As a result, a flat fa ctor was assigned to the livestock ammonia categories.

## 5.0 DATA ANALYSIS

After developing preliminary growth factors fo r Texas point and area sources as described
in Sections 3.0 and 4.0, ERG conducted a data anal ysis by applying the comp iled growth factors to the point source and area source 200 5 base year emissions inventor ies (provided by TCEQ and used “as is” with no changes) and developing futu re year emissions inventories for 2008, 2017, 2020, 2026, and 2035. This analysis was conducted under Ta sk 3 (Data Analysis) of the project scope. ERG analyzed the future emissions inventories by comparing and contrasting differences between the 2005 base year inventory and th e five future year inventories. The data analysis included comparisons at the following levels of disaggr egation: county, attainment status area (i.e., including nonattainment, near nona ttainment, Early Action Compact [EAC], and attainment), and

state. The attainment status areas are as follows:

• Houston-Galveston-Brazoria Ozone Nonattainment Area;

• Dallas-Fort Worth Ozone Nonattainment Area;TCEQ, Projection Factors Final, August 16, 2010 

## 35 • Beaumont/Port Arthur Ozone Nonattainment Area;

• El Paso Nonattainment Area;

• Austin Ozone EAC Area;

• Northeast Texas EAC Area;

• San Antonio EAC Area;

• Corpus Christi Near Nonattainment Area;

• Victoria Near Nonattainment Area; and

• All attainment counties.

Based on conversation with TCEQ project staff, it was decided to limit further analysis to

NO x 

## , VOC, and carbon monoxide (CO) only. The analysis identified SCCs and Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes that had the greatest and least variation of emissions estimates with the degree of variation indicated in units of tons per day and pe rcent change. ERG compiled the differences between the 2005 base year emissions inventory and the five future year inventories in a spreadsheet and submitted these to TCEQ for their review. Figures 5-1 and 5-2 show the top five state-level VOC source categories (based on 2005 emissions) for point and area sources along with their future year emissions. Additional analys is was conducted for oil and gas source category emissions within the point and ar ea source types. Figures 5-3 and 5-4 present the state-level base year and future year VOC emissions for point source and area source oil and gas categories, respectively. Figures 5-5 through 5-12 pres ent a similar set of charts for CO and NO x 

## emissions.

Based upon TCEQ staff’s review of the analysis results, several revisions were made to the projection factors whic h are listed below:

• For NAICS 3241 (Petroleum and Coal Pr oducts Manufacturing) (i.e., including refineries) point sources, replacement of Economy.com output data with AEO domestic refining capacity data (described in detail in Section 3.1).

• For NAICS 4861 (Pipeline Transportation of Crude Oil), 4862 (Pipeline Transportation of Natural Gas), and 4869 (Other Pipeline Transportation) poin t sources, use of alternative data when Economy.com output data were unavailable (i.e., AEO crude oil and natural gas production for NAICS 4861 and 4862 and use of Economy.com output data for NAICS 3251 [Basic Chemical Manufact uring] as a surroga te for NAICS 4869) (described in detail in Section 3.1).

• For both point and area sources, replacement of Economy.com output data with countylevel population data for those NAICS sect or/county combinati ons with a 2005 output value less than $1,000,000 (described in detail in Section 3.3).

Since these changes were made after TCEQ sta ff’s review of the analysis results, these changes are not reflected in Figures 5-1 through 5-12.TCEQ, Projection Factors Final, August 16, 2010

## 42 6.0 FORMATTED GROWTH FACTORS

The final step of the projects was the devel opment of the formatted growth factors which was conducted under Task 4 (Develop the Formatted Growth Factors) of the project scope. These formatted growth factors were submitted to TCEQ along with the final re port. ERG provided the developed growth factors and associated data in Microsoft Access format for point sources. For area sources, ERG provided the developed growth fact ors and associated data in TexAER loadable format as well as in Microsoft Access format, where all fields are complete and all mandatory fields have been quality assured. All resulting TexAER loadable files will be entered into TexAER. Any errors or discrepancies identified in the TexAER loadable format or loading process will be corrected by ERG, or otherwise addr essed in consultati on with the TCEQ.

7.0 CAVEATS ASSOCIATED WITH USE OF GROWTH FACTORS

Although a comprehensive suite of point and ar ea source growth factors were developed under this project, there are a numbe r of caveats that should be cons idered when using these growth factors to develop projected emission invent ories. These caveats include the following:

• Growth factors developed under this project do not account for the effects of controls (e.g., regulation control, rule effectiveness, rule penetra tion, fuel switching, technology improvements, etc.). As part of the deve lopment of future emi ssions, the effects of controls should also be considered.

• Growth factors developed under this proj ect are based upon the most recent data projections available (i.e., spri ng/summer 2010) from Economy.com, AEO , Texas state demographics, etc. In the future, thes e data projections will be updated based upon newly available data and/or revised projecti ons. Therefore, as these growth factors become dated, increased care and considera tion should be exercised when using them.

• Growth factors developed under this projec t were developed rela tive to a 2005 base year. Use of these growth factors for a ba se year other than 2005 requires the use of growth factor ratioing. For instance, th e 2013 growth factor for a 2008 base year inventory would be the ratio of the 2013 grow th factor (2005 base year) divided by the 2008 growth factor (2005 base year).

• Growth factors developed under this project were based upon national- or regional-level data that were extrapolated down to individual counties. Care should be exercised when applying growth factors to point sectors with a small number of facilities. Local conditions (e.g., new construction, expansion, closings, etc.) may not be accurately represented. Information regarding local “on-the-ground” conditions should take precedence over this project’s growth factors.

• Growth factors developed under this project may not fully re present short-term and/or regional disruptions, such as economic recessions , natural disasters, etc. The full effect of these events typically takes time to permeate through all data projections.TCEQ, Projection Factors Final, August 16, 2010
