describes
a

zip
which
includes
utility
emissions
for
the
2010
Base
Case
(
pre­
CAIR),
as
projected
by
EPA
using
the
Integrated
Planning
Model
(
IPM)
using
updated
information
for
units
in
Minnesota,
based
on
comments
from
Minnesota

Data
files
on
this
CD
include
Inventory
Data
Analyzer
(
IDA)
format
files
that
can
be
processed
with
the
Sparse
Matrix
Operator
Kernal
(
SMOKE)
emissions
processor
to
create
emissions
inputs
for
air
quality
modeling.

EPA
used
these
data,
along
with
other
emissions
inputs,
in
air
quality
modeling
of
the
contribution
of
SO2
and
NOx
emissions
in
Minnesota
to
PM2.5
nonattainment
in
other
States
as
part
of
the
CAIR
Reconsideration
process.

To
use
these
files
and
directory
structures
with
SMOKE
scripts
for
modeling
purposes,
we
recommend
using
