Attached is a copy of the water9 inputs used for the 2007 Emissions

Inventory.

I am working on the tank data needed. I will get that to you next week

as discussed.

Let me know if you have any questions regarding this info.

Brenda,

Does 9:30 central tomorrow work for you? If so, we will call your

office.

Paula LaRocca, new site Air Team Leader, will be on the call tomorrow

with me.

Carrie was our interim Air Team Leader and has handed this torch off to

Paula so please email her as well for requests. Her contact info is

Jerry and Carrie,

I sent this note to Bob, but I haven't heard anything from him. He

might be on vacation.

I need to get the remainder of this information as quickly as possible.

Would it be possible to discuss over the phone sometime today or

tomorrow?

Also, we've also noted that the BP documentation recently sent includes

information on Tanks 127, 128, 22, 23, and 56, but it does not include

information on Tanks 501, 502, 503, 504, 43, and 60. We need these same

data for all the tanks measured during the DIAL study.

Could you guys please give me a call at your convenience?

Bob,

We've been looking at the data package and there are still some gaps--

neither the tanks documentation nor the wastewater documentation

contains detailed input information, so we're having difficulty

duplicating the calculations; If we were certain of the model inputs,

we could not only duplicate the calculations, but we could vary

parameters to match the conditions during the test days to see how close

the emissions estimates are with the DIAL testing; its difficult to do

that if you don't have the initial characterization right. For example,

the wastewater information that was sent consists only of a 2 page

emission summary report-- we have no information on the wastewater

treatment system that was modeled or on the site specific biokinetic

parameters that were inputted. The WATER9 project run would contain all

of this information, though, so your staff does have it available, they
just didn't send it. It might be easier for them to send the actual 6

WATER9 project files if they don't want to print out a bunch of pages.

Re the tanks, we have no information on the site specific fittings and

actual tank parameters, all we have are interim calculations. We ran

defaults inputs but couldn't duplicate the interim calcs so we really

need the actual inputs. Again, I'm sure these inputs are readily

available, your staff just didn't send them. Finally, I know I've asked

before, but do you have actual material composition for what was in the

tanks on the days of DIAL measurements? We can use the speciated

information you supply in the emission estimates, but if that really

wasn't representative of the crude composition on the day of the

testing, then it doesn't help us understand differences in the

estimating methodologies and the DIAL measurements.

I'd be happy to discuss further. Maybe it makes sense to have a call.

Let me know what your availability is.

Brenda

Brenda - Did the data package show up? Is it what you need? If it's

everything, we can think of moving into Phase 2 soon.
