### MATS Final Rule Case Study Air Quality Modeling Data Drive

EPA has placed in the docket a data drive containing certain air quality modeling data files, and

codes that were used for the final MATS rule for the case studies in the Appropriate and Necessary analyses . Information on the air quality modeling performed for this rule including a

descr iption of the model inputs, emissions

, and results can be found in the Non

- Hg Case Study Technical Support Document that is located in the MATS Rule docket.

The fol lowing information is contained on this data drive. All air quality model inputs, outputs,

run scripts, and source code are listed in Appendix A.

EPA will respond to specific requests for subsets of the data or for specific additional inputs and

outputs o f the modeling process, depending on the availability of the data. These and all the

relevant data and inputs used in the air quality modeling are incorporated into the docket. Requests for electronic copies of the air quality modeling data used for this r ule should be sent to Tyler Fox ( fox.tyler@epa.gov ).

### Appendix A: Modeling Inputs and Outputs

File: emissions _prop .zip Description: Annual emissions of HAPs by facility and source group. The zipfile contains a folder for each facility. Within each fac ility’s folder is a file called annual_ emissions.txt, which lists annual emissions (tons/year) for each HAP by source group.
Format of annual_emissions.txt

Column Description

Anchor HAP Integer indicating that HAP is the HAP whose emissions are in the h ourly AERMOD input

emissions files. If the number is 1, then the HAP is the anchor HAP. Otherwise, the number is

zero
HAP NAME Pollutant name

SOURCE ID AERMOD source identifier

EMISSIONS Annual emissions (tons/year) for HAP and SOURCE ID

URE HAP’s un it risk estimate for cancer

Rfc HAP’s reference concentration for non

- cancer effects

ORGANS Text string of numbers to indicate if a HAP affects a particular organ system. A 1 indicates the

HAP affects the organ system, a 0 indicates it does not. Order of organs are : respiratory, liver, neurological, developmental, reproductive, kidney, ocular, endocrine, hematological, immunological, skeletal, spleen, and thyroid



### File: emis_hourly_prop.zip Description: Hourly emissions of anchor HAP by facility and source group. The zipfile contains a SAS dataset for each facility covering 2005

- 2009.
