All emissions processing for the re vised 2002 OTC regional and urban 12 km base case simulations was performed with SMOKE2.1 compiled on a Red Hat 9.0 Linux operating system with the Portland group fo rtran compiler version 5.1. The emissions processing was performed on a month-by-m onth and RPO-by-RPO basis, i.e. SMOKE processing was performed for each month fo r each of the RPOs (MANE-VU, VISTAS, CENRAP, MRPO) individually as well as for Canada. For each month/RPO combination, a separate SMOKE ASSIGNS file was created, and the length of the episode in each of these ASSIGNS files was set to the entire m onth. Also, as discussed in Section 3, there was no difference between “episode-averag e” temperatures and “monthly-average” temperatures for the Mobile6 simulations that used the option of te mperature averaging.

This document is structured as follows: A listing of all emission inventories is given in Section 2, organized by RPO and source category. Section 3 discusses the Mobile6 processing approach employed for the different RPOs, while Section 4 describes the processing of biogenic emissions w ith BEIS3.12. Finally, Sections 5 through7 describe the temporal allocation, speciati on, and spatial allocation of the emissions inventories, respectively.

2. Emission Inventories

• Fugitive dust correction: This was applied as county-specific correction factors for SCC’s listed at http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/e mch/invent/index.html#dust ; the correction factor file gcntl.xportfrac. txt was obtained from EPA’s CAIR NODA ftp site http://www.airmodelingftp.com (password protected).; this adjustment was performed using the SMOKE programs cntlmat and grwinven to generate an adjusted IDA inventory file used for subsequent SMOKE processing

• Corrected the omission of 2,100 tons/year VOC emissions from several point sources in NJ. NJDEP provided updated IDA files on June 30 that were used for modeling.

2.2 CENRAP
The inventory data were obtained from the CENRAP ftp site in March 2006 and reflect version BaseB of the CENRAP inventory.

• Note about area and nonroad source SMOKE processing for the CENRAP region: All area source inventories (both annual and month-specific) were processed in6 one step through SMOKE. SMK_AVEDAY_ YN was set to N, so seasonal profiles were used to apportion the annua l inventories numbers by month. This setting was also used for the nonroad pr ocessing performed in a separate step. This was necessary since the month-specifi c files had zero in their ‘average-day’ column and the annual tota l column reflects the “monthly emissions as annual totals” as per header line. Therefore, seasonal profiles are used to apportion both the annual and month-specific f iles. As described below, we utilized the temporal profiles and cross-reference files gene rated by CENRAP. However, we did not verify that this approach indeed lead s to the intended monthly allocation of ammonia and nonroad emissions.

2.4 MRPO
MRPO emissions for SMOKE modeling were generated by Alpine Geophysics through a contract from MARAMA to convert the MRPO BaseK inventor y from NIF to IDA format. The files were downloaded from the MARAMA ftp site ftp.marama.org (username mane-vu, password exchange) between April and June 2006.

• Note about area source SMOKE processi ng: SMOKE processing was performed separately for the annual and month-sp ecific files. For the annual inventory processing, SMK_AVEDAY_YN was set to N, so seasonal profiles were used to apportion the annual inventories numb ers by month. For the month-specific inventory processing, this variable was set to Y so that no seasonal profiles would be applied and the inventory numbers in th e ‘average day’ column would be used. To save a SMOKE processing ste p, the annual “marine” inventory “arinv_mar_mrpok_2002_27apr2006.txt” was pro cessed together with the annual “other area source” inventory “arinv_other_mrpok_2002_20jun2006.txt” even though it technically is part of the nonroad inventory.

2.5.4 Point Sources
There has long been difficulty in obtai ning an up-to-date Canadian criteria emissions inventory for point sources. This is due largely to confidentiality rights afforded to Canadian facilities. Thus far, the most recent invent ory of Canadian point sources is rooted in the 1985 NAPAP data and is close to two decades old. Because there are a number of high emitting indus trial facilities in southern Canada it is of particular importance to have a reasonably accurate i nventory of these sources especially when modeling air quality over the Northeast and Midw est United States. Toward this end, an effort was made to obtain more recent Canadian point source data and incorporate it into an inventory database, which could then be used for the 2002 OTC air quality modeling.

Perhaps the most accurate and publicly acce ssible source of Canadian pollutant data is now available from the National Po llutant Release Inventory (NPRI) database. This database contains 268 substances. Faci lities that manufacture, process or otherwise use one of these substances and that meet re porting thresholds are required to report these emissions to Environment Canada on an annua l basis. The NPRI data are available at Environment Canada’s website and can be found at the link http://www.ec.gc.ca/pdb/npri/npri_home_e.cfm . The page hosts an on-line search engine where one can locate emissions by pollutant or location. In addition, the entire database is available for download as an MS Access or Excel file. The NPRI database contains10 numerous pages with a rather comprehensive lis t of information. Detailed information is available about each facility, including lo cation, activity and annual emissions. In addition, facilities having stacks with a height of 50 meters or more are required to report stack parameters.

Unfortunately, one of the limitations of th e NPRI database for modeling purposes is that the data are only available at the fac ility level. Emissions models require process level information, so in order to use this data , a few generalizations had to be made. Each facility has a Standard Industrial Classificat ion (SIC) code associated with it; however, emissions models require Source Classifica tion Codes (SCC’s). SCC’s are of critical importance as the emissions models use thes e codes for assignment of temporal and speciation profiles. SIC codes describe the ge neral activity of a facility while SCC codes describe specific processes taking place at each facility. While no direct relationship exists between these two codes, a general al beit subjective associa tion can be made.

For the purposes of creating a model-ready inventory file it was necessary to obtain the whole NPRI database. After merging all the necessary components from the NPRI database required in the SMOKE inventory file, the SIC code from each facility was examined and assigned an SCC code. In most cases, only a SCC3 level code was assigned with confidence. While this is admittedly a less than desirable process, it does allow for the use of the most recent emissions from the NPRI database to be used in modeling. Furthermore, having some level of SCC associated with these emissions will ensure that they will be assigned a temporal and speciation profile by the model, other than the default. Once the model-ready inve ntory file was devel oped, it was processed through SMOKE.

• Following the setting in the MANEVU_2002_mvref.txt files, the following procedures were used by SMOKE for tem poral and spatial temperature averaging in the calculation of emission factors:

o Spatial averaging: temperatures were averaged over all counties that share a common reference county (i.e. Mobile6 input file)

o Temporal averaging for May – Se ptember emissions processing: no temporal averaging was used, i.e. day- specific temperatures were used to calculate emission factors for each day.

o Temporal averaging for non-summer -months emissions processing: Temporal averaging over the duration of the episode (i.e. the entire month, see introduction) was used, i.e. monthl y average temperatures were used to calculate the emission factors.

4. Biogenic Emission Processing
Hourly gridded biogenic emissions for the 12 km and 36 km modeling domains were calculated by BEIS3.12 through SMOKE, using MCIP-processed MM5 fields for temperature (“TA”, layer-1 temperature), so lar radiation (“RGRND” ), surface pressure (“PRES”), and precipitation (“RN” and “RC”). A ‘seasonal switch’ file was generated by the SMOKE utility metscan to determine whether winter or summer emission factors should be used for any given grid cell on a ny given day. Winter emission factors are used from January 1 st through the date of the last frost a nd again from the data of the first frost in fall through December 31 st . Summer emission factors are used for the time period in between. This calculation is perfor med separately for each grid cell.
