Introduction
1.1
Background
The
Clean
Air
Act
(
CAA),
as
amended
in
1990
is
the
most
recent
version
of
a
law
first
passed
in
1970.
The
1990
Amendment
made
some
major
changes
in
the
act,
by
empowering
the
US
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
to
set
up
permitting
and
enforcing
programs
for
larger
sources
that
release
pollutants
into
the
air.

In
addition,
the
EPA's
principal
responsibilities
under
the
Clean
Air
Act
were:

 
to
set
National
Ambient
Air
Quality
Standards
(
NAAQS)
for
pollutants
considered
harmful
to
the
public
health
and
the
environment
(
Primary
Standards
limits
to
protect
public
health,
including
the
health
of
"
sensitive"
population
such
as
asthmatics,
children
and
the
elderly;
Secondary
Standards
limits
to
protect
public
welfare,
including
protection
against
decreased
visibility,
damage
to
animals
and
crops,
vegetation
and
buildings)
 
to
ensure
that
air
quality
standards
are
met
or
attained
 
to
ensure
that
the
sources
of
toxic
air
pollutants
are
controlled
 
to
monitor
the
effects
of
the
program
On
July
17,
1997,
the
EPA
promulgated
revised
National
Ambient
and
Air
Quality
Standards,
addressing
changes
in
the
Ozone
and
Particulate
Matter.
Soon
after,
the
American
Trucking
Association
sued
the
EPA
in
the
U.
S.
Court
of
Appeals
for
the
DC
Circuit
disputing
the
legality
of
how
the
standard
was
set
and
how
it
would
be
implemented.
In
May
of
1999
the
Appeals
Court
ruled
against
the
EPA
finding
that
the
Agency
had
acted
in
an
unconstitutional
manner
in
setting
the
standards
and
that
the
implementation
approach
improperly
ignored
CAA
requirements
dealing
with
ozone
non­
attainment
areas.
The
EPA
appealed
to
the
Supreme
Court.
In
a
decision
dated
March
26,
2001,
the
Supreme
Court
found
that
the
EPA's
setting
of
the
standards
was
constitutional,
and
that
the
Agency
could
set
NAAQS
at
levels
necessary
to
protect
public
health
and
welfare
without
considering
costs,
however
the
EPA
could
not
ignore
Subpart
2
of
the
CAA
when
implementing
the
8
hour
ozone
standard.
The
final
designation
of
non­
attainment
for
the
8­
hour
ozone
standard
will
take
place
on
April
15,
2004.

On
June
19,
2002,
EPA
Region
6
endorsed
Texas'
Protocol
for
an
"
Early
Action
Compact"
(
EAC).
The
protocol
described
attainment
of
the
8­
hour
NAAQS
for
ozone
and
it
provided
for
Early
Reduction
Compacts.
The
purpose
of
the
Compact
would
be
to:

 
Develop
early
voluntary
8­
hour
air
quality
plans
between
Local,
State
government
and
the
EPA
 
Apply
to
areas
that
are
in
attainment
for
the
1­
hour
ozone
standard,
but
approach
or
monitor
exceedances
of
the
8­
hour
standard
 
Designed
to
develop
and
implement
control
strategies,
account
for
growth,
and
achieve

hour

standard

2002)

After
review
of
the
proposed
Compact,
the
EPA
decided
to
extend
participation
in
the
EAC
to
the
entire
country.
Each
area
that
met
the
criteria
was
to
have
an
Early
Action
Compact
Memorandum
of
Agreement
signed
by
December
31,
2002.

Since
the
introduction
of
the
revised
8­
hour
ozone
standard,
Cumberland
County
has
registered
values
that
will
make
this
area
non­
attainment
for
ozone.
There
are
two
monitoring
sites
in
Cumberland
County:
one
in
Wade
and
one
in
Golfview
(
Hope
Mills).
To
establish
if
an
area
will
be
designated
as
non­
attainment
for
ozone,
the
North
Carolina
Department
of
the
Environment
and
Natural
Resources
(
NC
DENR)
Division
of
Air
Quality
(
DAQ)
averages
the
fourth
highest
reading
during
an
ozone
season
(
May
through
September)
for
three
consecutive
years.
If
the
average
is
of
0.085
ppm
or
above,
the
area
will
be
designated
as
non­
attainment.
Cumberland
County
has
registered
a
reading
of
0.087
for
the
years
2001­
2003
for
both
monitoring
sites,
which
is
a
"
marginal"
reading,
making
participation
in
the
EAC
a
logical
step
for
this
area.

1.2
Stakeholders
Involvement
The
Cumberland
County
Board
of
Commissioners
approved
the
EAC
and
then
Chairman
Baggett
signed
the
Memorandum
of
Agreement
on
December
13,
2002.
During
the
following
months,
every
municipality
within
the
then
Metropolitan
Statistical
Area
signed
a
resolution
of
support
of
and
participation
in
the
Early
Action
Compact.
Fort
Bragg
Military
Reservation
and
the
Fayetteville
Area
MPO
also
agreed
to
support
this
effort.
Commissioners
instructed
the
Planning
and
Inspections
Director
to
oversee
the
EAC
process
and
the
Fayetteville
Area
Metropolitan
Planning
Organization
(
FAMPO)
Staff
to
provide
administrative
and
logistical
support.
FAMPO
staff
immediately
began
to
solicit
volunteers
to
participate
in
the
process.
Efforts
were
made
to
contact
environmental
and
health
groups
to
join
in
this
effort.
Both
the
Sierra
Club
and
the
American
Lung
Association
could
not
find
individuals
interested
in
participating,
because
there
are
no
local
chapters
in
this
area,
and
volunteers
would
have
to
commute
from
the
Raleigh/
Durham
area.
One
of
the
volunteers
is
a
member
of
the
Sandhills
Area
Land
Trust
(
SALT)
Board
of
Directors,
but
agreed
to
serve
as
a
citizen
Stakeholder,
and
not
as
a
SALT
representative.
Thus
no
major
environmental
group
is
a
member
of
the
Cumberland
County
Stakeholders.

and

On
April
3,
2003,
the
first
Cumberland
County
Air
Quality
Stakeholders'
Meeting
took
place
in
the
Pate
Room
of
the
Library
Headquarters.
The
purpose
of
the
meeting
was
to
give
the
newly
appointed
Stakeholders
an
opportunity
to
familiarize
themselves
with
the
compact
efforts
and
to
communicate
with
representatives
of
NC
DENR
and
US
EPA.

held
the
first
regular

At
that
time
the
Committee
unanimously
agreed
to

and
adopted
the
goal
to
provide
"
A
healthful
environment
for
all
current
and
future
citizens
of
Cumberland
County"

The
Stakeholders
met
monthly
for
the
first
three
months
and
now
meet
quarterly
at
a
minimum,
or
as
required.

The
Stakeholders'
Committee
is
supported
by
an
Air
Quality
Technical
Committee,
which
meets
more
often
and
provides
the
Stakeholders
with
technical
information
and
administrative
assistance.
The
Public
Involvement
does
not
end
with
the
Stakeholders.
An
aggressive
process
of
education
and
outreach
into
the
community
has
been
documented
since
the
beginning
of
this
endeavor,
to
include
involvement
of
the
Public
School
Systems
(
Cumberland
County
and
Fort
Bragg/
Pope

utility
providers,
and
of
any
Organization

1.3
Cumberland
County
Characteristics
The
Cumberland
County
landscape
is
a
mixture
of
urban
and
rural
lands.
The
2000
census
population
for
Cumberland
County
was
of
302,963,
of
which
20,540
is
rural
population
and
282,423
is
within
the
Urbanized
Area
Boundary.
Population
density
is
also
varied,
as
shown
in
Table
2.
Because
of
the
difference
in
land
use
and
densities,
care
was
exercised
when
proposing
and
selecting
strategies
to
be
implemented
by
such

The
Cantonment
Area
of
Fort
Bragg
Military
Reservation,
one
of
the
largest
military
installations
in
this
country,
and
Pope
Air
Force
Base
are
also
located
within
Cumberland
County,
as
shown
on
Figure
1.
The
presence
of
such
a
large
military
facility
is
an
additional
factor
in
the
population
makeup
of
our
area.
Cumberland
County
has
a
combined
minority
population
of
approximately
45%,
with
34.9%
African­
American.
Statistical
information
shows
that
12.8%
of
the
overall
population
is
below
the
poverty
level
(

All
of
these
factors
were
taken
into
consideration
when
preparing

the
implementation
of
the
Early
Action
Plan.

Local
and
Regional
Efforts
In
April
2001,
inspired
in
part
by
Governor
James
Hunt's
1998
challenge
on
sustainability
and
smart
growth,
Fort
Bragg
Military
Reservation
embarked
on
the
difficult
journey
to
become
a
sustainable
installation.
As
part
of
this
effort,
several
individuals
within
the
surrounding
counties
began
working
with
the
Military
Installation
to
aid
in
the
process,
including
the
planning
and
implementation
schedule
of
air
quality
initiatives
for
the
metropolitan
area.
At
that
point,
a
sustainable
region
was
the
next
logical
and
necessary
step.
In
partnership
with
the
North
Carolina
Department
of
Environment
and
Natural
Resources
and
stakeholders
from
the
surrounding
counties
and
communities,
Sustainable
Sandhills
began
in
February
2003,
covering
the
environmental
needs
and
wants
of
a
six
county
region.
Subsequently,
a
Steering
Committee
of
interested
participants
was
formed.
Later,
the
Steering
Committee
became
the
Leadership
Council
and
many
of
the
individuals
involved
in
this
endeavor
are
also
members
of
the
Cumberland
County
Air

Modeling
Background
The
modeling
analysis
is
a
complex
technical
evaluation
that
begins
by
selection
of
the
modeling
system
and
selection
of
the
meteorological
episodes.
North
Carolina
Division
of
Air
Quality
(
NCDAQ)
decided
to
use
the
following
modeling
system:

 
Meteorological
Model:
MM­
5
 
This
model
generates
hourly
meteorological
inputs
for
the
emissions
model
and
the
air
quality
model,
such
as
wind
speed,
wind
direction,
and
surface
temperature.
 
Emissions
Model:
Sparse
Matrix
Operator
Kernel
Emissions
(
SMOKE)
­
This
model
takes
daily
county
level
emissions
and
temporally
allocates
across
the
day,
spatially
locates
the
emissions
within
the
county,
and
transfers
the
total
emissions
into
the
chemical
species
needed
by
the
air
quality
model.
 
Air
Quality
Model:
MAQSIP
(
Multi­
Scale
Air
Quality
Simulation
Platform)
 
This
model
takes
the
inputs
from
the
emissions
model
and
meteorological
model
and
predicts
ozone
hour
by
hour
across
the
modeling
domain,
both
horizontally
and
vertically.

The
modeling
system
being
used
for
this
demonstration
and
the
episodes
being
modeled
were
discussed
in
detail
in
the
June
30,
2003
progress
report
(
see
Appendix
D).
The
following
historical
episodes
were
selected
to
model
because
they
represent
typical
meteorological
conditions
in
North
Carolina
when
high
ozone
is
observed

Overview
of
Air
Quality
In
Cumberland
County
The
U.
S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA),
under
the
authority
of
the
Federal
Clean
Air
Act,
regulates
outdoor
air
pollution
in
the
United
States.
The
EPA
sets
National
Ambient
Air
Quality
Standards
(
NAAQS)
for
six
"
criteria
pollutants"
that
are
considered
harmful
to
human
health
and
the
environment.
1
These
six
pollutants
are
carbon
monoxide,
lead,
ozone,
nitrogen
dioxide,
particulate
matter
and
sulfur
dioxide.
Particulate
matter
is
further
classified
into
two
categories:
PM
10,
or
particles
with
diameters
of
10
micrometers
or
less,
and
fine
particulate
matter
(
PM
2.5),
particles
with
diameters
of
2.5
micrometers
or
less.
Levels
of
a
pollutant
above
the
health­
based
standard
pose
a
risk
to
human
health.
The
NCDAQ
monitors
levels
of
all
six
criteria
pollutants
in
Cumberland
County
and
reports
these
levels
to
the
EPA.
According
to
the
most
recent
data,
Cumberland
County
is
meeting
national
ambient
standards
for
five
of
the
pollutants,
but
is
not
meeting
the
Federal
8­
hour
standard
for
ground­
level
ozone.
Federal
enforcement
of
the
ozone
NAAQS
is
based
on
a
3­
year
monitor
"
design
value".
The
design
value
for
each
monitor
is
obtained
by
averaging
the
annual
fourth
highest
daily
maximum
8­
hour
ozone
values
over
three
consecutive
years.
If
a
monitor's
design
value
exceeds
the
NAAQS,
that
monitor
is
in
violation
of
the
standard.
The
EPA
may
designate
part
or
all
of
the
metropolitan
statistical
area
(
MSA)
as
nonattainment
even
if
only
one
monitor
in
the
MSA
violates
the
NAAQS.
There
are
two
ozone
monitors
in
Cumberland
County.
One
of
the
monitors
is
located
northeast
of
Fayetteville
(
Wade)
and
the
other
is
southeast
of
Fayetteville
(
Golfview),

Ozone
And
Its
Health
Effects
And
Sources
3.1
Overview
of
Ozone
Ozone
(
O3)
is
a
tri­
atomic
ion
of
oxygen.
In
the
stratosphere
or
upper
atmosphere,
ozone
occurs
naturally
and
protects
the
Earth's
surface
from
ultraviolet
radiation.
Ozone
in
the
lower
atmosphere
is
often
called
ground­
level
ozone,
tropospheric
ozone,
or
ozone
pollution
to
distinguish
is
from
upper­
atmospheric
or
stratospheric
ozone.
Ozone
does
occur
naturally
in
the
lower
atmosphere
(
troposphere),
but
only
in
relatively
low
background
concentrations
of
about
30
parts
per
billion
(
ppb),
well
below
the
NAAQS.
The
term
"
smog"
is
also
commonly
used
to
refer
to
ozone
pollution.
Although
ozone
is
a
component
of
smog,
smog
is
a
combination
of
ozone
and
airborne
particles
having
a
brownish
or
dirty
appearance.
It
is
possible
for
ozone
levels
to
be
elevated
even
on
clear
days
with
no
obvious
"
smog".
In
the
lower
atmosphere,
ozone
is
formed
when
airborne
chemicals,
primarily
nitrogen
oxides
(
NOx)
and
volatile
organic
compounds
(
VOCs),
combine
in
a
chemical
reaction
driven
by
heat
and
sunlight.
These
ozone­
forming
chemicals
are
called
precursors
to
ozone.
Man­
made
NOx
and
VOC
precursors
contribute
to
ozone
concentrations
above
natural
background
levels.
Since
ozone
formation
is
greatest
on
hot,
sunny
days
with
little
wind,
elevated
ozone
concentrations
occur
during
the
warm
weather
months,
generally
May
through
September.
In
agreement
with
EPA's
guidance,
North
Carolina
operates
ozone
monitors
from
April
1
through
October
31
to
be
sure
to
capture
all
possible
events
of
high
ozone.

3.2
Ozone
Health
Effects
The
form
of
oxygen
we
need
to
breathe
is
O2.
When
we
breathe
ozone,
it
acts
as
an
irritant
to
our
lungs.
Short­
term,
infrequent
exposure
to
ozone
can
result
in
throat
and
eye
irritation,
difficulty
drawing
a
deep
breath,
and
coughing.
Long­
term
and
repeated
exposure
to
ozone
concentrations
above
the
NAAQS
can
result
in
reduction
of
lung
function
as
the
cells
lining
the
lungs
are
damaged.
Repeated
cycles
of
damage
and
healing
may
result
in
scarring
of
lung
tissue
and
permanently
reduced
lung
function.
Health
studies
have
indicated
that
high
ambient
ozone
concentrations
may
impair
lung
function
growth
in
children,
resulting
in
reduced
lung
function
in
adulthood.
In
adults,
ozone
exposure
may
accelerate
the
natural
decline
in
lung
function
that
occurs
as
part
of
the
normal
aging
process.
Ozone
may
also
aggravate
chronic
lung
diseases
such
as
emphysema
and
bronchitis
and
reduce
the
immune
system's
ability
to
fight
off
bacterial
infections
in
the
respiratory
system.
Asthmatics
and
other
individuals
with
respiratory
disease
are
especially
at
risk
from
elevated
ozone
concentrations.
Ozone
can
aggravate
asthma,
increasing
the
risk
of
asthma
attacks
that
require
a
doctor's
attention
or
the
use
of
additional
medication.
According
to
the
EPA,
one
reason
for
this
increased
risk
is
that
ozone
increases
susceptibility
to
allergens,
which
are
the
most
common
triggers
for
asthma
attacks.
In
addition,
asthmatics
are
more
severely
affected
by
the
reduced
lung
function
and
irritation
that
ozone
causes
in
the
respiratory
system.
There
is
increasing
evidence
that
ozone
may
trigger,
not
just
exacerbate,
asthma
attacks
in
some
individuals.
Ozone
may
also
contribute
to
the
development
of
asthma.
A
recent
study
published
in
the
British
medical
journal
The
Lancet
found
a
strong
association
between
elevated
ambient
ozone
levels
and
the
development
of
asthma
in
physically
active
children.

All
children
are
at
risk
from
ozone
exposure
because
they
often
spend
a
large
part
of
the
summer
playing
outdoors,
their
lungs
are
still
developing,
they
breathe
more
air
per
pound
of
body
weight,
and
they
are
less
likely
to
notice
symptoms.
Children
and
adults
who
frequently
exercise
outdoors
are
particularly
vulnerable
to
ozone's
negative
health
effects,
because
they
may
be
repeatedly
exposed
to
elevated
ozone
concentrations
while
breathing
at
an
increased
respiratory
rate.

3.3
Ozone
Sources
Ozone­
forming
pollutants,
or
precursors,
are
nitrogen
oxides
(
NOx)
and
volatile
organic
compounds
(
VOCs).

3.3.1
Volatile
Organic
Compounds
Volatile
organic
compounds
(
VOCs)
are
a
class
of
hydrocarbons,
and
therefore
are
sometimes
referred
to
as
hydrocarbons.
However,
it
is
important
to
note
that
hydrocarbons,
as
a
class
of
chemical
compounds,
include
less­
reactive
compounds
not
considered
VOCs.
In
other
words,
although
all
VOCs
are
hydrocarbons,
not
all
hydrocarbons
are
VOCs.
In
North
Carolina,
large
portions
of
precursor
VOCs
are
produced
by
natural,
or
biogenic,
sources,
which
are
primarily
trees.
Man­
made,
or
anthropogenic,
VOCs
also
contribute
to
ozone
production,
particularly
in
urban
areas.
Sources
of
anthropogenic
VOCs
include
unburned
gasoline
fumes
evaporating
from
gas
stations
and
cars,
industrial
emissions,
and
consumer
products
such
as
paints,
solvents,
and
the
fragrances
in
personal
care
products.

3.3.2
Nitrogen
Oxides
Nitrogen
oxides
(
NOx)
are
produced
when
fuels
are
burned,
and
result
from
the
reaction
of
atmospheric
nitrogen
at
the
high
temperatures
produced
by
burning
fuels.
Power
plants,
highway
motor
vehicles,
the
major
contributor
in
urban
areas,
and
off­
road
mobile
source
equipment,
such
as
construction
equipment,
lawn
care
equipment,
trains,
boats,
etc.,
are
the
major
sources
of
NOx.
Other
NOx
sources
include
"
area"
sources
(
small,
widely­
distributed
sources)
such
as
fires
(
forest
fires,
backyard
burning,
house
fires,
etc.),
and
natural
gas
hot
water
heaters.
Other
residential
combustion
sources
such
as
oil
and
natural
gas
furnaces
and
wood
burning
also
produce
NOx,
but
these
sources
generally
do
not
operate
during
warm­
weather
months
when
ground­
level
ozone
is
a
problem.
In
general,
area
sources
contribute
only
a
very
small
portion
of
ozone­
forming
NOx
emissions.
Generally,
North
Carolina,
including
the
Fayetteville
area,
is
considered
"
NOx­
limited"
because
of
the
abundance
of
VOC
emissions
from
biogenic
sources.
Therefore,
current
ozone
strategies
focus
on
reducing
NOx.
However,
VOC
reduction
strategies,
such
as
control
of
evaporative
emissions
from
gas
stations
and
vehicles,
could
reduce
ozone
in
urban
areas
where
the
biogenic
VOC
emissions
are
not
as
high.

Emissions
Inventories
4.1
Description
Emissions
modeling
performed
by
NCDAQ
estimates
NOx
and
VOC
emissions
for
an
average
summer
day,
given
specific
meteorological
and
future
year
conditions
and
using
emission
inputs
based
on
emission
inventories
that
include
anticipated
control
measures.
The
biogenic
emissions
are
kept
at
the
same
level
as
the
episodic
biogenic
emissions
since
these
emissions
are
based
on
meteorology
and
the
meteorological
conditions
in
the
future
years
are
kept
the
same
as
the
episodic
meteorology.
There
are
various
types
of
emission
inventories.
The
first
is
the
base
year
or
episodic
inventory.
This
inventory
is
based
on
the
year
of
the
episode
being
modeled
and
is
used
for
validating
the
photochemical
model
performance.
The
second
inventory
used
in
this
project
is
the
"
current"
year
inventory.
For
this
modeling
project
it
will
be
the
2000
emission
inventory,
which
is
the
most
current.
This
inventory
is
processed
using
all
of
the
different
meteorological
episodes
being
studied.
The
photochemical
modeling
is
processed
using
the
current
year
inventory
and
those
results
are
used
as
a
representation
of
current
air
quality
conditions
for
the
meteorological
conditions
modeled.
Next
is
the
future
base
year
inventory.
For
this
type,
an
inventory
is
developed
for
some
future
year
for
which
attainment
of
the
ozone
standard
is
needed.
The
future
base
year
projections
for
2007
take
into
account
all
State
and
Federal
control
measures
expected
to
operate
at
that
time,
including
Federal
vehicle
emissions
controls,
NOx
SIP
Call
controls,
and
North
Carolina
Clean
Smokestacks
controls.
For
this
modeling
project
the
attainment
year
is
2007
and
the
additional
years
for
which
a
showing
of
continued
maintenance
of
the
8­
hour
ozone
standard
are
2012
and
2017.
An
additional
year,
2010,
was
modeled
since
this
is
the
year
for
which
the
Charlotte/
Gastonia
and
Raleigh/
Durham
areas
must
demonstrate
attainment
of
the
8­
hour
ozone
standard.
It
is
the
future
base
year
inventories
that
control
strategies
and
sensitivities
are
applied
to
determine
what
controls,
to
which
source
classifications
must
be
made
in
order
to
attain
the
ozone
standard.
The
base
year
inventories
used
for
each
source
classifications
are
discussed
in
Appendix
D.
In
the
sections
that
follow,
the
inventories
used
for
the
current
and
the
future
years
are
discussed.

4.2
Current
Year
Inventories
For
the
large
utility
sources,
year
specific
Continuous
Emissions
Monitoring
(
CEM)
data
is
used
for
base
year
episode
specific
modeling.
However,
it
did
not
make
sense
to
use
2000
CEM
data
for
the
current
year
inventory
since
the
meteorology
used
for
the
current
year
modeling
runs
are
the
1995,
1996,
and
1997
episode
specific
meteorology.
The
concern
is
that
the
utility
day
specific
emissions
for
2000
would
not
correspond
to
the
meteorology
used
in
the
modeling.
After
discussing
this
issue
with
EPA,
the
decision
was
made
to
continue
to
use
the
episodic
CEM
data
for
the
current
year
inventory.
Since
only
CEM
NOx
emissions
are
reported
to
the
EPA,
Acid
Rain
Division
(
ARD),
the
CO
and
VOC
emissions
are
calculated
from
the
NOx
emissions
using
emission
factor
ratios
(
CO/
NOx
and
VOC/
NOx)
for
the
particular
combustion
processes
at
the
utilities.

The
inventory
used
to
model
the
other
point
sources
is
the
1999
National
Emissions
Inventory
(
NEI)
release
version
2.0
obtained
from
the
EPA's
Clearinghouse
for
Inventories
and
Emission
Factors
(
CHIEF)
website
(
http://
www.
epa.
gov/
ttn/
chief/
net/
1999inventory.
html).
In
addition,
North
Carolina
emissions
for
forest
fires
and
prescribed
burns
are
treated
as
point
sources
and
are
episode
specific
similar
to
CEM
data.
These
emissions
were
kept
the
same
as
the
episodic
emissions.

Similar
to
the
other
point
source
emissions
inventory,
the
inventory
used
to
model
the
stationary
area
sources
is
the
1999
NEI
release
version
2.0
obtained
from
the
EPA's
CHIEF
website.
The
exception
to
this
is
for
North
Carolina
where
a
2000
current
year
inventory
was
generated
by
NCDAQ
following
the
current
methodologies
outlined
in
the
Emissions
Inventory
Improvement
Program
(
EIIP)
Area

For
the
nonroad
mobile
sources
that
are
calculated
within
the
NONROAD
mobile
model,
a
2000
current
year
inventory
was
generated
for
the
entire
domain.
The
model
version
used
is
the
Draft
NONROAD2002
distributed
for
a
limited,
confidential,
and
secure
review
in
November
2002.
A
newer
draft
version
of
this
model
was
released
by
the
EPA
in
June,
2003.
A
comparison
was
done
between
the
results
from
the
two
models
and
the
differences
were
not
significant
for
NOx
emissions,
however
they
were
large
for
CO.
Since
CO
does
not
play
a
large
role
in
ozone
formation,
it
is
not
believed
that
these
differences
will
impact
the
ozone
concentrations
in
the
air
quality
model.
However,
since
there
are
differences,
when
the
final
State
Implementation
Plan
(
SIP)
modeling
is
carried
out
the
updated
emissions
will
be
used.

The
nonroad
mobile
sources
not
calculated
within
the
NONROAD
model
include
aircraft
engines,
railroad
locomotives
and
commercial
marine
vessels.
The
2000
current
year
inventory
used
for
these
sources
is
the
1999
NEI
release
version
2.0
obtained
from
the
EPA's
CHIEF
website.
The
exception
to
this
is
for
North
Carolina
where
a
2000
current
year
inventory
was
generated
by
NCDAQ
following
the
methodologies
outlined
in
the
EPA
guidance
document
EPA­

Volume
IV:
Mobile

In
order
to
accurately
model
the
mobile
source
emissions
in
the
EAC
areas,
the
newest
version
of
the
MOBILE
model,
MOBILE6.2,
was
used.
This
model
was
released
by
EPA
in
2002
and
differs
significantly
from
previous
versions
of
the
model.
Key
inputs
for
MOBILE
include
information
on
the
age
of
vehicles
on
the
roads,
the
speed
of
those
vehicles,
what
types
of
road
those
vehicles
are
traveling
on,
any
control
technologies
in
place
in
an
area
to
reduce
emissions
for
motor
vehicles
(
e.
g.,
emissions
inspection
programs),
and
temperature.
The
development
of
these
inputs
is
discussed
in
detail
in
Appendix
D.

Biogenic
emissions
used
in
the
2000
current
year
modeling
are
the
same
as
those
used
in
the
base
year
episodic
modeling.
This
is
due
to
the
use
of
the
same
meteorology
for
the
current
year
modeling
runs.
The
development
of
this
source
category
is
discussed
in
Appendix
D.

The

summary
for
the
2000

Future
Year
Inventories
The
inventory
used
for
the
preliminary
2007
point
source
inventory
is
the
EPA's
May
1999
release
of
the
NOx
SIP
call
future
year
modeling
foundation
files,
obtained
from
the
EPA
Office
of
Air
Quality
Planning
and
Standards
(
OAQPS).
This
is
a
2007
emissions
inventory,
projected
from
a
1995
base
year
inventory
and
controlled
in
accordance
to
the
NOx
SIP
call
rule.
The
decision
to
use
this
inventory
for
initial
2007
future
year
modeling
runs
was
made
since
all
of
the
point
sources
required
to
have
controls
due
to
the
NOx
SIP
call
rule
making
are
reflected
in
this
inventory.
The
exception
to
this
is
for
North
Carolina.
For
the
major
North
Carolina
utility
sources,
NCDAQ
obtained
estimated
future
year
hour
specific
data
for
the
two
largest
utility
companies
within
North
Carolina,
Duke
Energy
and
Progress
Energy.
Additionally,
the
day
specific
forest
fires
and
prescribed
fires
inventory
were
the
episodic
emissions.

The
final
modeling
run
for
the
2007
future
year
point
source
inventory
uses
the
EPA's
1999
NEI
inventory
grown
to
2007
using
growth
factors
from
the
EPA's
Economic
Growth
Analysis
System
(
EGAS)
version
4.0.
The
exception
to
this
is
for
North
Carolina,
where
State
specific
growth
factors,
and
where
available
source
specific
growth
factors,
were
used
to
grow
the
North
Carolina
1999
inventory.
Additionally,
NCDAQ
created
a
new
control
file
that
reflect
how
the
states
surrounding
North
Carolina
plan
to
implement
the
NOx
SIP
call
rule
as
well
as
all
other
rules
that
are
on
the
books.
The
2012
future
year
point
source
inventory
was
generated
using
this
same
methodology.

The
inventory
used
to
model
the
stationary
area
sources
for
2007
and
2012
is
the
1999
NEI
release
version
2.0
obtained
from
the
EPA's
CHIEF
website
and
were
grown
to
2007
using
growth
factors
from
the
EPA's
Economic
Growth
Analysis
System
(
EGAS)
version
4.0.
The
exception
to
this
is
for
North
Carolina,
where
the
2000
current
year
inventory
was
grown
using
a
mixture
of
EGAS
growth
factors
and
state­
specific
growth
factors
for
the
furniture
industry.
For
the
nonroad
mobile
sources
that
are
calculated
within
the
NONROAD
mobile
model,
a
2007
and
2012
future
years
inventories
were
generated
for
the
entire
domain
using
the
same
model
used
to
generate
the
current
year
inventory.
In
the
final
modeling,
the
NONROAD2002a
model
will
be
used
to
create
the
nonroad
inventory.
The
remaining
nonroad
mobile
source
categories,
the
1999
NEI
release
version
2.0
obtained
from
the
EPA's
CHIEF
website
and
were
grown
to
Fayetteville
MSA

­
2007
and
2012
using
growth
factors
from
the
EPA's
Economic
Growth
Analysis
System
(
EGAS)
version
4.0.
The
exception
to
this
is
for
North
Carolina,
where
the
2000
current
year
inventory
was
grown
with
EGAS
growth
factors.

The
same
MOBILE
model
was
used
to
create
the
2007
and
2012
future
years
highway
mobile
source
inventories.
The
vehicle
miles
traveled
(
VMT)
were
projected
using
the
methodologies
prescribed
by
EPA.
The
exception
to
this
was
for
North
Carolina.
In
the
urban
areas
of
North
Carolina
VMT
from
travel
demand
models
(
TDM)
for
future
years
was
available.
The
future
years
VMT
were
estimated
by
interpolating
between
the
TDM
future
year
estimates.
Additionally,
estimated
future
year
speeds
were
obtained
from
the
North
Carolina
Department
of
Transportation
(
NCDOT).

Biogenic
emissions
used
in
the
future
years
modeling
are
the
same
as
those
used
in
the
base
year
episodic
modeling.
This
is
due
to
the
use
of
the
same
meteorology
for
the
future
year
modeling
runs.
The
development
of
this
source
category
is
discussed
in
Appendix
D.

The
emissions
summary
for
the
2007

Comparison
of
2000
and
2010
Inventories
North
Carolina
developed
the
2010
future
year
emissions
inventory
as
an
intermediate
year
between
2007,
where
attainment
of
the
8­
hr
Ozone
standard
is
to
be
demonstrated,
and
2012
where
continued
maintenance
of
the
standard
is
required.
This
year
was
chosen
since
it
is
the
year
that
the
Charlotte/
Gastonia
and
Raleigh/
Durham
areas
must
show
attainment
of
the
8­
hour
ozone
standard.

The
inventory
used
for
the
2010
point
source
inventory
is
EPA's
2010
emission
inventory
used
for
their
heavy­
duty
diesel
rule
making.
The
decision
to
use
this
inventory
for
the
2010
future
year
modeling
runs
was
made
since
all
of
the
point
sources
required
to
have
controls
due
to
the
NOx
SIP
call
rule
making
are
reflected
in
this
inventory.
The
exception
to
this
is
for
North
Carolina.
For
the
major
North
Carolina
utility
sources,
NCDAQ
obtained
estimated
future
year
hour
specific
data
for
the
two
largest
utility
companies
within
North
Carolina,
Duke
Energy
and
Progress
Energy.
Additionally,
the
day
specific
forest
fires
and
prescribed
fires
inventory
were
the
episodic
emissions.
The
inventory
used
to
model
the
stationary
area
sources
is
also
the
EPA's
emission
inventory
used
for
the
heavy­
duty
diesel
engine
rule
making.
The
exception
to
this
is
for
North
Carolina,
where
the
2000
current
year
inventory
was
grown
using
a
mixture
of
EGAS
growth
factors
and
state­
specific
growth
factors
for
the
furniture
industry.
For
the
nonroad
mobile
sources
that
are
calculated
within
the
NONROAD
mobile
model,
a
2010
future
year
inventory
was
generated
for
the
entire
domain
using
the
same
model
used
to
generate
the
current
year
inventory.
The
remaining
nonroad
mobile
source
categories,
EPA's
2010
emission
inventory
used
for
their
heavy­
duty
diesel
engine
rule
making
was
used.

The
same
MOBILE
model
was
used
to
create
the
2010
future
year
highway
mobile
source
inventory.
The
vehicle
miles
traveled
(
VMT)
were
projected
using
the
methodologies
prescribed
by
EPA.
The
exception
to
this
was
for
North
Carolina.
In
the
urban
areas
of
North
Carolina
VMT
from
travel
demand
models
(
TDM)
for
future
years
was
available.
The
2010
VMT
was
estimated
by
interpolating
between
the
TDM
future
year
estimates.
Additionally,
estimated
future
year
speeds
were
obtained
from
the
North
Carolina
Department
of
Transportation
(
NCDOT).

Biogenic
emissions
used
in
the
2010
future
year
modeling
are
the
same
as
those
used
in
the
base
year
episodic
modeling.
This
is
due
to
the
use
of
the
same
meteorology
for
the
future
year
modeling
runs.

The
emissions
summary
for
the
2010
future
year
modeling
inventories
for
the
Fayetteville

area
is

Control
Measures
Several
control
measures,
already
in
place
or
being
implemented
over
the
next
few
years,
will
reduce
point,
highway
mobile,
and
nonroad
mobile
sources
emissions.
State
and
federal
control
measures
were
modeled
for
2007,
and
are
discussed
in
the
Sections
below.

5.1
Local
EAC
Control
Measures
Through
the
Stakeholders'
and
Public
involvement
process,
the
Fayetteville
Metropolitan
Statistical
Area
submitted
to
all
of
the
County's
jurisdictions
and
Fort
Bragg
a
list
of
proposed
strategies
to
be
implemented
in
the
efforts
to
decrease
NOx
and
VOC
emissions.

While
reviewing
the
strategies
to
be
implemented,
the
Early
Action
Compact
and
Milestones
were
carefully
reviewed.
This
area
is
very
supportive
of
this
process
and
wishes
for
a
healthful
environment
for
its
citizens
and
a
high
quality
of
life.
Logistically,
many
of
the
strategies
that
could
be
selected
and
implemented
require
more
time
to
develop
and
enforce
than
the
two
years
outlined
in
the
Milestones
of
the
EAC.
For
this
reason
some
of
the
following
strategies
have
a
deadline
of
December
2005,
whereas
efforts
to
develop
new
or
amended
ordinances
and
documents
are
already
on­
going.
It
is
the
hope
of
all
of
the
jurisdictions
within
the
Fayetteville
MSA
that
several
Strategies
will
be
implemented
and
enforced
during
this
year,
however,
knowing
that
ordinances
and
new
program
implementations
take
time,
we
will
maintain
the
December
2005
deadline,
to
assure
that
all
of
our
efforts
will
be
fully
completed
by
the
deadline.

Upon
implementation
of
the
strategies,
the
EAC
binds
local
areas
to
submit
semi­
annual
reports
to
the
EPA
until
2007
and
to
perform
modeling
for
the
year
2012.
The
EAC
signed
by
this
area
includes
modeling
for
the
year
2017,
ten
years
after
designation.

The
Fayetteville
MSA
will
continue
to
monitor
and
report
on
accomplishments
beyond
2007
and
will
compile
and
submit
such
report
during
the
review
and
update
of
the
MPOs
Long
Range
Transportation
Plan,
whether
required
every
five
years,
as
currently
set,
or
every
three
years,
if
modified
in
the
Reauthorization
of
TEA­
21,
the
current
Transportation
Bill,

the
year
2019.

The
physical
characteristics
and
patterns
of
land
development
in
a
region
can
affect
air
quality
by
influencing
the
travel
mode
choices
citizens
have
available
to
them.
Development
patterns
that
locate
jobs,
housing
and
recreation
in
closer
proximity
to
each
other,
can
mean
shorter
and
fewer
car
and
truck
trips,
thus
reducing
vehicle
miles
traveled
(
VMT)
and
likely
reducing
motor
vehicle
emissions.
Other
development
patterns
have
the
potential
to
improve
or
mitigate
air
quality
problems
by
providing
and
promoting
alternatives
to
vehicular
travel,
such
as
mass
transit,
walking,
or
biking.
The
most
significant
urban
form
features
that
can
affect
travel
activity
are:

 
Density
=
infill
 
Land
Use
Mix
 
incorporating
different
land
uses
(

as
well
as
the
relationship
of

involves
the
interrelationships
between

and
the
transportation
connection
between
sets
of
origin
and

The
air
quality
impacts
of
land
use
activities
on
transportation
depend
on
numerous
factors,
including
density
and
location
of
development,
amount
of
development,
mix
of
uses,
and
access
to
transportation
alternatives.
The
interaction
of
these
factors
is
complex,
and
due
to
the
variations
from
one
development
project
to
another,
each

needs
to
be
analyzed
individually.

State
Control
Measures
5.2.1
Clean
Air
Bill
The
1999
Clean
Air
Bill
expanded
the
vehicle
emissions
inspection
and
maintenance
program
from
9
counties
to
48,
and
improved
the
testing
method.
Vehicles
are
being
tested
using
the
onboard
diagnostic
system,
which
indicates
NOx
emissions,
among
other
pollutants.
The
previously
used
tailpipe
test
did
not
measure
NOx.
The
inspection
and
maintenance
program
was
instituted
in
Cumberland
County
on
July
1,
2003
and
is
quantifiable
and
enforceable.
This
is
not
a
federally
mandated
program
therefore
we
take
credit
for
it
in
the
SIP
and
it
results
to
a
4%
of
mobile
NOx
reduction
in
Cumberland
County.

5.2.2
NOx
SIP
Call
Rule
North
Carolina's
NOx
SIP
Call
rule
will
reduce
summertime
NOx
emissions
from
power
plants
and
other
industries
by
68%
by
2006.
The
North
Carolina
Environmental
Management
Commission
adopted
rules
requiring
the
reductions
in
October
2000.

5.2.3
Clean
Smokestacks
Act
In
June
2002,
the
N.
C.
General
Assembly
enacted
the
Clean
Smokestacks
Act,
requiring
coalfired
power
plants
to
reduce
annual
NOx
emissions
by
78%
by
2009.
These
power
plants
must
also
reduce
annual
sulfur
dioxide
emissions
by
49%
by
2009
and
by
74%
in
2013.
The
Clean
Smokestacks
Act
could
potentially
reduce
NOx
emissions
beyond
the
requirements
of
the
NOx
SIP
Call
Rule.
One
of
the
first
state
laws
of
its
kind
in
the
nation,
this
legislation
provides
a
model
for
other
states
in
controlling
multiple
air
pollutants
from
old
coal­
fired
power
plants.

5.2.4
Open
Burning
Bans
In
June
2004,
the
Environmental
Management
Commission
should
approve
a
new
rule
that
would
ban
open
burning
during
the
ozone
season
on
code
orange
and
code
red
ozone
action
days
for
those
counties
that
NCDAQ
forecasts
ozone.
NCDAQ
will
determine
what
rule
penetration
and
rule
effectiveness
would
be
most
appropriate
to
use
for
this
rule.

Federal
Control
Measures
5.3.1
Tier
2
Vehicle
Standards
Federal
Tier
2
vehicle
standards
will
require
all
passenger
vehicles
in
a
manufacturer's
fleet,
including
light­
duty
trucks
and
Sports
Utility
Vehicles
(
SUVs),
to
meet
an
average
standard
of
0.07
grams
of
NOx
per
mile.
Implementation
will
begin
in
2004,
and
most
vehicles
will
be
phased
in
by
2007.
Tier
2
standards
will
also
cover
passenger
vehicles
over
8,500
pounds
gross
vehicle
weight
rating
(
the
larger
pickup
trucks
and
SUVs),
which
are
not
covered
by
current
Tier
1
regulations.
For
these
vehicles,
the
standards
will
be
phased
in
beginning
in
2008,
with
full
compliance
in
2009.
The
new
standards
require
vehicles
to

the
road
today.
Tier
2
rules
will
also
reduce
the
sulfur
content
of
gasoline
to
30
ppm
by
2006.
Most
gasoline
currently
sold
in
North
Carolina
has
a
sulfur
content
of
about
300
ppm.
Sulfur
occurs
naturally
in
gasoline
but
interferes
with
the
operation
of
catalytic
converters
in
vehicle
engines
resulting
in
higher
NOx
emissions.
Lower­
sulfur
gasoline
is
necessary
to
achieve
Tier
2
vehicle
emission
standards.

5.3.2
Heavy­
Duty
Gasoline
and
Diesel
Highway
Vehicles
Standards
New
EPA
standards
designed
to
reduce
NOx
and
VOC
emissions
from
heavy­
duty
gasoline
and
diesel
highway
vehicles
will
begin
to
take
effect
in
2004.
A
second
phase
of
standards
and
testing
procedures,
beginning
in
2007,
will
reduce
particulate
matter
from
heavy­
duty
highway
engines,
and
will
also
reduce
highway
diesel
fuel
sulfur
content
to
15
ppm
since
the
sulfur
damages
emission
control
devices.
The
total
program
is
expected
to
achieve
a
90%
reduction
in
PM
emissions
and
a
95%
reduction
in
NOx
emissions
for
these
new
engines
using
low
sulfur
diesel,
compared
to
existing
engines
using
higher­
content

such
as
those
used
in

agricultural,
and
industrial
equipment,
to
be
phased
in
between
2008
and
2014.
The
proposed
rules
would
also
reduce
the
allowable
sulfur
in
nonroad
diesel
fuel
by
over
99%.
Nonroad
diesel
fuel
currently
averages
about
3,400
ppm
sulfur.
The
proposed
rules
limit
nonroad
diesel
sulfur
content
to
500
ppm
in
2007
and
15
ppm
in
2010.
The
combined
engine
and
fuel
rules
would
reduce
NOx
and
particulate
matter
emissions
from
large
nonroad
diesel
engines
by
over
90
%,
compared
to
current
nonroad

5.3.4
Nonroad
Spark­
Ignition
Engines
and
Recreational
Engines
Standard
The
new
standard,
effective
in
July
2003,
will
regulate
NOx,
HC
and
CO
for
groups
of
previously
unregulated
nonroad
engines.
The
new
standard
will
apply
to
all
new
engines
sold
in
the
US
and
imported
after
these
standards
begin
and
large
spark­
ignition
engines
(
forklifts
and
airport
ground
service
equipment),
recreational
vehicles
(
off­
highway
motorcycles
and
allterrain
vehicles),
and
recreational
marine
diesel
engines.
The
regulation
varies
based
upon
the
type
of
engine
or
vehicle.

The
large
spark­
ignition
engines
contribute
to
ozone
formation
and
ambient
CO
and
PM
levels
in
urban
areas.
Tier
1
of
this
standard
is
scheduled
for
implementation
in
2004
and
Tier
2
is
scheduled
to
start
in
2007.
Like
the
large
spark­
ignition,
recreational
vehicles
contribute
to
ozone
formation
and
ambient
CO
and
PM
levels.
They
can
also
be
a
factor
in
regional
haze
and
other
visibility
problems
in
both
state
and
national
parks.
For
the
off­
highway
motorcycles
and
all­
terrain­
vehicles,
model
year
2006,
the
new
exhaust
emissions
standard
will
be
phased­
in
by
50%
and
for
model
years
2007
and
later
a
100%.
Recreational
marine
diesel
engines
over
37
kW
are
used
in
yachts,
cruisers,
and
other
types
of
pleasure
craft.
Recreational
marine
engines
contribute
to
ozone
formation
and
PM
levels,
especially
in
marinas.
Depending
on
the
size
of
the
engine,
the
standard
for
will
begin
phase­
in
in
2006.

When
all
of
the
standards
are
fully
implemented,
an
overall
72%
reduction
in
HC,
80%
reduction
in
NOx,
and
56%
reduction
in
CO
emissions
are
expected
by
2020.
These

of
ozone,

Geographic

Needing
Further
Controls
The
current
draft
version
of
EPA's
attainment
test
was
applied
to
the
modeling
results.
In
very
basic
and
general
language
the
attainment
guidance
states
if
the
future
year
design
value
for
a
given
monitor
is
below
0.085
parts
per
million
(
ppm)
then
the
monitor
passes
the
attainment
test.
The
future
year
design
value
of
a
monitor
is
calculated
by
multiplying
the
current
year
design
value
of
a
monitor
by
a
relative
reduction
factor
(
Equation
6.3­
1).

Equation
6.3­
1
DVF
=
DVC
x
RRF
Where
DVF
is
the
Future
year
Design
Value,
DVC
is
the
Current
year
Design
Value,
and
RRF
is
the
relative
reduction
factor.
The
Current
year
Design
Value
(
DVC)
in
the
attainment
test
framework
is
defined
as
the
higher
of:
(
a)
the
average
4th
highest
value
for
the
3­
yr
period
used
to
designate
an
area
"
nonattainment",
and
(
b)
the
average
4th
highest
value
for
the
3­
yr
period
straddling
the
year
represented
by
the
most
recent
available
emissions
inventory.
In
this
exercise,
the
DVC
used
to
designate
an
area
nonattainment
will
be
2001­
2003
and
the
DVC
straddling
the

represented

The
higher
of
those
two
values
is
shown
in
Table
6.3­

as
the

The
relative

factor
(

is
calculated
by
taking
the
ratio
of
the

to

concern
is
the
funding
needed
to

both
looking
for

EARLY
ACTION
COMPACT
Application
of
the
Early
Action
Compact
for
8­
hour
State
Implementation
Plan
Development
in
the
Fayetteville
Metropolitan
Statistical
Area
North
Carolina
An
Agreement
of
Partnership
by
USEPA
Region
4,
North
Carolina
Department
of
Environment
and
Natural
Resources,
and
the
Cumberland
County
Board
of
Commissioners
December

I.
Purpose
of
the
Early
Action
Compact
The
Early
Action
Compact
(
EAC)
is
an
agreement
between
the
North
Carolina
Department
of
Environment
and
Natural
Resources
(
DENR),
local
governments
and
organizations,
and
the
United
States
Environmental
Protection
Agency
Region
4
(
EPA)
office.
This
EAC
represents
a
partnership
of
Local,
State,
and
Federal
agency
efforts
to
develop
a
State
implementation
plan
(
SIP)
for
the
Fayetteville
Metropolitan
Statistical
Area.
The
SIP
is
the
technical
analysis
showing
what
control
measures
are
necessary
to
attain
the
8­
hour
ozone
standard,
as
well
as
the
adopted
rules
for
those
measures.
The
SIP
will
be
a
combination
of
Local,
State,
and
Federal
rules.
This
EAC
includes
the
memorandum
of
agreement
by
all
parties,
the
protocol
for
the
local
Early
Action
Plan
(
EAP)
and
the
overall
SIP
development
and
the
schedule
the
plan
development
will
follow.
The
result
of
this
EAC
is
that
the
SIP
will
be
developed
early,
the
control
measures
implemented
sooner,
and
the
8­
hour
ozone
standard
achieved
in
a
more
expeditious
manner
than
following
the
normal
SIP
development
timeline.
Under
the
EAC
schedule,
the
SIP
is
due
no
later
than
December
31,
2004.
Under
the
normal
schedule,
the
SIP
is
due
three
years
after
the
nonattainment
designation
(
expected
in
2004,
so
the
SIP
would
be
due
in
2007).
The
ultimate
result
of
the
EAC
approach
is
that
North
Carolinians
will
breathe
clean
air
sooner.
If
any
party
to
the
EAC
fails
to
achieve
a
milestone,
then
the
nonattainment
designation
becomes
effective
upon
EPA
finding
that
failure,
and
all
consequences
of
nonattainment
designation
apply
to
the
area.
The
EAC
contains
necessary
and
appropriate
mechanisms
to
return
the
area
to
the
regular
nonattainment
planning
process
should
any
party
fail
to
meet
the
agreed
upon
milestones
contained
in
the
EAC.

II.
Background
and
History
of
Air
Quality
Ozone,
or
O3,
is
formed
in
the
atmosphere
when
two
primary
pollutants,
volatile
organic
compounds
and
oxides
of
nitrogen
react
in
the
presence
of
sunlight.
DENR
operates
the
ozone
monitors
from
April
1
through
October
31
of
each
year,
though
most
exceedances,
or
days
above
the
ozone
standard,
occur
in
the
May
through
September
timeframe.
There
are
currently
two
ozone
standards
that
have
been
set
by
EPA
to
protect
the
public's
health.
The
first
standard
is
a
1­
hour
standard,
which
was
set
in
1977.
The
standard
is
set
at
0.12
parts
per
million
(
ppm)
ozone
in
the
air.
The
Fayetteville
Metropolitan
Statistical
Area
has
always
met
the
1­
hour
ozone
standard.

The
second
standard
is
the
new
8­
hour
ozone
standard,
set
by
EPA
in
1997.
This
new
standard
is
based
on
the
maximum
8­
hour
average
concentration
and
is
set
at
.08
ppm.
This
compact
is
intended
to
address
the
new
8­
hour
standard
and
how
the
Fayetteville
Metropolitan
Statistical
Area
(
MSA)
will
­
58
­
attain
this
new
standard.
There
are
two
monitors
in
the
Fayetteville
MSA
 
one
in
the
Town
of
Wade,
and
one
in
the
Town
of
Hope
Mills
(
Golfview),
both
of
which
are
in
Cumberland
County.
Both
monitors
currently
violate
the
8­
hour
ozone
standard.

III.
Current
Air
Quality
Levels
Ozone
data
is
evaluated
over
a
three
year
period
to
determine
compliance
with
the
ozone
standard.
The
current
design
value
based
on
2000
to
2002
ozone
season
data
is
as
follows:
Wade
monitor
­
.087
ppm,
Golfview
monitor
­
.087
ppm.
Table
1
presents
the
number
of
days
that
each
monitor
exceeded
the
8­
hour
ozone
standard
over
the
most
recent
three
years.

Components
of
the
Early
Action
Compact
A.
Area
Covered
by
the
Compact
The
area
covered
by
this
compact
is
the
Fayetteville
Metropolitan
Statistical
Area,
which
includes
all
of
Cumberland
County.

B.
Participating
Agencies
in
the
Compact
The
State
agency
will
be
the
Department
of
Environment
and
Natural
Resources.
USEPA
will
be
represented
by
the
Region
4
office.
At
a
minimum,
the
local
agencies
will
be
represented
by
the
Chair
of
the
Board
of
County
Commissioners.
(
or
designee)
for
the
county.
Other
local
organizations
are
invited
to
participate.

C.
Requirements
of
the
Early
Action
Compact
There
are
certain
key
requirements
that
will
be
addressed
in
the
EAC
and
in
the
SIP
development.
These
requirements
are
described
in
more
detail
below:
i.
Milestones
and
Reporting
The
EAC
must
identify
key
milestones
and
an
associated
schedule.
The
milestones
include
the
development
of
the
emissions
inventories,
base
case
modeling
evaluation,
identification
of
local
measures,
evaluation
of
local
measures,
adoption
of
local
measures,
and
submittal
of
SIP
incorporating
local
measures.
Status
reports
are
required
every
six
months.
The
status
reports
­
59
­
must
contain
information
regarding
the
completion
of
the
milestones,
or
progress
on
an
upcoming
milestone.

ii.
Emissions
Inventory
The
NC
Department
of
Environment
and
Natural
Resources
(
NCDENR)
will
be
responsible
for
developing
several
emissions
inventories
for
the
project.
Episode
specific
inventories
will
be
developed
for
the
July
1995,
June
1996,
and
July
1997
events.
Additionally,
a
current
year
inventory
will
be
developed
for
2000
or
2001
for
purposes
of
applying
the
attainment
test.
Finally,
future
year
inventory
for
2007,
2012
and
2017
will
also
be
developed.

iii.
Modeling
The
NCDENR
will
be
responsible
for
conducting
the
meteorological
and
air
quality
modeling
analysis.
The
NCDENR
will
conduct
the
modeling
analysis
based
on
USEPA's
"
Draft
Guidance
on
the
use
of
Models
and
Other
Analyses
in
Attainment
Determinations
for
the
8­
hour
Ozone
NAAQS",
May
1999
(
EPA­
454/
R­
99­
004).
The
technical
analysis
will
follow
the
guidance
as
facilitated
by
the
EPA
Regional
office.

iv.
Control
Strategies
All
of
the
signatories
will
participate
in
the
evaluation
and
selection
of
control
strategies.
The
Local
agency
signatories
will
primarily
be
responsible
for
the
identification
of
the
local
measures.
The
NCDENR
will
be
responsible
for
the
state
measures
and
for
the
development
of
the
complete
SIP
including
state
and
local
measures.

v.
Maintenance
for
Growth
A
key
component
of
the
plan
is
the
annual
check
of
growth
from
the
mobile
and
stationary
source
sector.
In
addition,
a
projection
of
growth
to
2012
is
required
by
the
protocol.
An
additional
projection
of
growth
to
2017
will
also
be
performed.

vi.
Public
Involvement
The
development
of
the
control
measures
and
the
SIP
will
be
done
through
a
public
involvement
process.
Stakeholders
from
throughout
the
community
will
be
invited
to
participate
in
this
open
process.

Fayetteville
Area
Early
Action
Compact
Memorandum
of
Agreement
This
Early
Action
Compact
(
EAC)
is
a
Memorandum
of
Agreement
between
the
local
government
representing
the
county
of
Cumberland,
the
North
Carolina
Department
of
Environment
and
Natural
Resources
(
NCDENR)
and
the
United
States
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA).
It
is
for
the
express
purpose
of
developing
and
implementing
an
Early
Action
Plan
(
EAP)
that
will
reduce
ground­
level
ozone
concentrations
in
the
Fayetteville
Metropolitan
Statistical
Area
to
comply
with
the
8­
hour
ozone
standard
by
December
31,
2007,
and
maintain
the
standard
beyond
that
date.
Failure
to
meet
these
obligations
results
in
immediate
reversion
to
the
traditional
nonattainment
process.

I.
General
Provisions
A.
The
signatory
parties
commit
to
develop,
implement
and
maintain
the
EAP
according
to
EPA
Protocol
for
Early
Action
Compacts
issued
June
19,
2002,
and
adhere
to
all
terms
and
conditions
stated
in
the
guidelines.
See
Appendix
A
for
EPA
Protocol
for
Early
Action
Compacts
Designed
to
Achieve
and
Maintain
the
8­
Hour
Ozone
Standard.

B.
If
the
region
does
not
meet
all
the
terms
of
the
EAC,
including
meeting
agreed­
upon
milestones,
then
it
will
forfeit
its
participation,
deferral
of
the
area's
non­
attainment
designation
will
be
withdrawn
and
its
non­
attainment
designation
for
the
8­
hour
ozone
NAASQ
will
become
effective.

C.
Before
formal
adoption
into
the
SIP,
this
agreement
may
be
modified
or
terminated
by
mutual
consent
of
all
signatory
parties,
or
any
party
may
withdraw
from
the
agreement.
The
local
government
signatories
will
approve
the
local
control
measures
before
they
are
submitted
to
NCDENR
for
inclusion
in
the
SIP.
Once
the
EAP
is
incorporated
into
the
SIP,
any
modifications
will
be
treated
as
SIP
revisions.

D.
The
signature
date
of
the
EAC
is
the
start
date
of
the
agreement's
term
and
the
agreement
remains
in
effect
until
December
31,
2007.
­

II.
Local
Government
Responsibilities
The
local
government
agrees
to
develop
and
implement
a
local
EAP
that
will,
when
combined
with
State
and
Federal
measures,
demonstrate
attainment
by
year's
end
2007
of
the
8­
hour
ozone
standard
and
maintenance
until
at
least
2012.
The
local
government
will
develop
this
plan
in
coordination
with
NCDENR,
EPA,
stakeholders
and
the
public.
The
EAP
will
include
a
process
to
monitor
and
maintain
long­
term
compliance
with
the
standard.
The
local
government
will
develop
and
submit
a
list
of
control
measures
being
considered
for
adoption
as
part
of
the
EAP
by
June
16,
2003.
The
EAP
will
be
submitted
to
NCDENR
and
EPA
for
review
by
January
31,
2004,
and
finalized
by
March
31,
2004,
for
inclusion
in
the
SIP
by
December
31,
2004.

In
the
event
a
development
or
issue
arises
that
may
impact
performance
or
progress
toward
milestones
(
including
if
a
milestone
will
be
or
has
been
missed
and/
or
if
a
termination
or
modification
has
been
requested),
the
Fayetteville
Area
Metropolitan
Planning
Organization
Staff,
serving
as
the
Lead
Planning
Agency,
or
the
signatory
party
responsible
will
notify
all
other
signatories
as
soon
as
possible.

III.
The
North
Carolina
Department
of
Environment
and
Natural
Resources
The
state,
represented
by
NCDENR,
will
provide
support
to
areas
throughout
the
planning
and
implementation
process,
including:
1.
Development
of
emission
inventories,
modeling
process,
trend
analysis
and
quantification
and
comparison
of
emission
reduction
strategies;

2.
Necessary
information
on
all
Federal
and
State
adopted
emission
reduction
strategies
which
affect
the
area;

3.
Technical
and
strategic
assistance,
as
appropriate,
in
the
selection
and
implementation
of
emission
reduction
strategies;

4.
Technical
and
planning
assistance
in
developing
and
implementing
processes
to
address
the
impact
of
emissions
growth
beyond
the
attainment
date;

5.
Maintenance
of
monitors
and
reporting
and
analysis
of
monitoring
data;

6.
Support
for
public
education
efforts;

7.
Coordinate
communication
between
local
areas
and
EPA
to
facilitate
continuing
EPA
review
of
local
work;
­
62
­
8.
Expeditious
review
of
the
locally
developed
EAP,
and
if
deemed
adequate,
propose
modification
of
the
SIP
to
adopt
the
EAP;

9.
Adoption
of
emission
reduction
strategies
into
the
SIP
as
expeditiously
as
possible.
The
final
complete
SIP
revision
must
be
completed,
adopted,
and
submitted
by
the
state
to
EPA
by
December
31,
2004.

IV.
The
Environmental
Protection
Agency
1.
The
EPA
will
provide
technical
assistance
to
the
state
and
local
area
in
the
development
of
the
early
action
plan.

2.
The
EPA
will
take
final
action
by
September
30,
2005
on
any
SIP
revisions
submitted
by
December
31,
2004
pursuant
to
the
compact
3.
When
EPA's
8­
hour
implementation
guidelines
call
for
designations,
if
the
area
has
met
the
first
two
milestones
(
signed
compact
by
December
31,
2002
and
list
of
measures
being
considered
for
local
adoption
by
June
16,
2003),
EPA
will
defer
the
effective
date
of
nonattainment
designation
and
related
requirements
for
participating
areas
that
fail
to
meet
the
8­
hour
ozone
standard
until
September
30,
2005,
contingent
upon
the
area's
submission
of
local
control
measures
by
March
31,
2004.
As
part
of
the
SIP
approval
mentioned
in
item
2
above
and
assuming
the
SIP
is
approvable,
EPA
will
propose
as
part
of
the
SIP
approval
action,
the
second
deferral
of
the
effective
date
of
non­
attainment
designation
until
December
31,
2006.
If
the
June
30,
2006
progress
assessment
is
submitted,
implementation
of
the
SIP
measures
have
occurred,
and
air
quality
improvement
is
taking
place,
EPA
will
propose
and,
if
appropriate,
take
final
action
on
the
third
deferral
of
the
effective
date
until
April
15,
2008.

4.
Provided
that
the
monitors
in
the
area
reflect
attainment
by
December
31,
2007,
EPA
will
move
expeditiously
to
designate
the
area
as
attainment
and
impose
no
additional
requirements.

5.
If
at
any
time
the
area
does
not
meet
all
the
terms
of
this
EAC,
including
meeting
agreed­
upon
milestones,
then
it
will
forfeit
its
participation,
deferral
of
the
area's
non­
attainment
designation
may
be
withdrawn
and
its
non­
attainment
designation
will
become
effective.
The
EPA
will
offer
such
an
area
no
delays,
exemptions
or
other
favorable
treatment
because
of
its
previous
participation
in
this
program.

6.
If
the
area
violates
the
standard
as
of
December
31,
2007,
and
the
area
has
had
a
nonattainment

Reporting
In
order
to
facilitate
self­
evaluation
and
communication
with
EPA,
NCDENR,
stakeholders,
and
the
public,
the
region
will
assess
and
report
progress
towards
milestones
in
a
regular,
public
process,
at
least
every
six
months.

B.
Emissions
Inventories
1.
An
initial
modeling
emissions
inventory
will
be
developed
by
May
31,
2003.
This
inventory
will
include:
a.
Emissions
modeling
data
for
a
July
1995,
June
1996
and
July
1997
episode,
all
of
which
are
representative
of
a
typical
ozone
season
event
and
meets
EPA
episode
selection
guidance;
b.
MOBILE6
data
with
link
based
Travel
Demand
Model
(
TDM)
mobile
data
in
urban
areas;
c.
NONROAD
model
data
adjusted
for
local
equipment
populations
and
usage
rates
where
available;
d.
Area
source
data,
based
on
local
survey
data,
when
possible.

2.
A
2007
future
year
modeling
emissions
inventory
will
be
developed
by
July
31,
2003.
This
inventory
will
sufficiently
account
for
projected
future
growth
in
ozone
precursor
emissions
through
2007,
particularly
from
stationary,
non­
road
and
on­
road
mobile
sources.

3.
Selection
of
specific
episode
inventories
was
partially
determined
by
the
conceptual
model,
which
reflects
an
analysis
of
meteorological
conditions
typical
of
high
ozone
events.
The
conceptual
model
will
be
updated
by
May
31,
2003.

4.
Emissions
inventories
will
be
compared
and
analyzed
for
trends
in
emission
sources
over
time.
The
emissions
inventory
comparison
and
analysis
will
be
completed
by
October
31,
2003.

C.
Modeling
1.
Base
case
modeling
will
be
completed
by
May
31,
2003
and
future
case
modeling
will
be
completed
by
October
31,
2003.
One
or
more
modeled
control
cases
will
be
completed
by
January
31,
2004,
with
final
revisions
completed
by
March
31,
2004.
All
modeling:
a.
Will
be
SIP
quality,
consistent
with
the
latest
EPA
modeling
guidance,
and
performed
within
EPA's
accepted
margin
of
accuracy;
­
65
­
b.
Will
be
carefully
documented;
c.
Will
sufficiently
account
for
projected
future
growth
in
ozone
precursor
emissions;
d.
Will
be
accomplished
by
NCDENR
and
reviewed
by
EPA;
e.
Will
be
used
to
determine
the
effectiveness
of
NOx
and/
or
VOC
reductions.
The
control
case(
s)
will
be
used
to
determine
the
relative
effectiveness
of
different
emission
reduction
strategies
and
to
aid
in
the
selection
of
appropriate
emission
reduction
strategies.

D.
Emission
Reduction
Strategies
1.
All
adopted
Federal
and
State
emission
reduction
strategies
that
have
been
or
will
be
implemented
by
the
December
31,
2007
attainment
date
will
be
included
in
base,
future
and
control
case
modeling.
2.
Additional
local
emission
reduction
strategies
needed
to
demonstrate
attainment
for
the
Fayetteville
MSA
by
December
31,
2007
will
be
selected
by
January
31,
2004,
with
final
revisions
completed
by
March
31,
2004.
The
selected
local
strategies
will
be
implemented
as
soon
as
practical,
but
no
later
than
December
31,
2005.

3.
Local
emission
reduction
strategies
will
be
specific,
quantified,
permanent
and
enforceable.
The
strategies
will
also
include
specific
implementation
dates
and
detailed
documentation
and
reporting
processes.

4.
Voluntary
strategies
can
play
a
supporting
role
in
the
EAP.
If
emission
reductions
from
voluntary
strategies
are
quantified
and
credit
is
taken
for
them
in
the
EAP,
those
emission
reductions
will
be
enforceable.
Additional
strategies
must
be
implemented
to
meet
those
quantified
reduction
requirements
if
quantified
voluntary
strategies
fail.
This
is
true
for
all
quantified
emission
reductions,
which
must
be
made
part
of
the
SIP.

5.
Local
emission
reduction
strategies
will
be
designed
and
implemented
by
the
community
with
stakeholder
participation.

6.
Local
emission
reduction
strategies
will
be
incorporated
by
the
state
into
the
SIP.
In
the
event
that
the
region
desires
to
add,
delete
or
substitute
strategies
after
SIP
submittal,
the
region
will
request
a
modification.
EAP
modifications
will
be
treated
as
SIP
revisions
and
facilitated
by
the
state.

E.
Maintenance
for
Growth
1.
The
EAP
will
include
a
component
to
address
emissions
growth
at
least
five
years
beyond
December
31,
2007,
ensuring
that
the
area
will
remain
in
attainment
of
the
8­
hour
standard
during
that
period.
Attainment
­
66
­
maintenance
analysis
will
be
completed
by
January
31,
2004,
with
final
revisions
completed
by
March
31,
2004.
The
analysis
will
employ
one
or
more
of
the
following
or
any
other
appropriate
techniques
necessary
to
make
such
a
demonstration:
a.
Modeling
analysis
showing
ozone
levels
below
the
8­
hour
standard
in
2012;
b.
An
annual
review
of
growth
(
especially
mobile
and
stationary
source)
to
ensure
emission
reduction
strategies
and
growth
assumptions
are
adequate;
c.
Identification
and
quantification
of
federal,
state,
and/
or
local
measures
indicating
sufficient
reductions
to
offset
growth
estimates.

2.
A
continuing
planning
process
that
includes
modeling
updates
and
modeling
assumption
verification
(
particularly
growth
assumptions)
will
be
conducted
concurrent
with
the
tracking
and
reporting
process
for
the
EAP.
This
update
and
verification
will
be
an
ongoing
process
between
the
signatories,
stakeholders
and
the
public.
Modeling
updates
and
planning
processes
must
consider
and
evaluate:
a.
All
relevant
actual
new
point
sources;
b.
Impacts
from
potential
new
source
growth;
and
c.
Future
transportation
patterns
and
their
impact
on
air
quality
in
a
manner
that
is
consistent
with
the
most
current
adopted
Long
Range
Transportation
Plan
and
most
current
trend
and
projections
of
local
motor
vehicle
emissions.

3.
If
the
review
of
emissions
growth
in
conjunction
with
the
continuing
planning
process
demonstrates
that
adopted
emission
reduction
strategies
are
inadequate
to
address
growth
in
emissions,
additional
measures
will
be
added
to
the
EAP.

4.
In
the
event
that
the
continuing
planning
process
identifies
the
need
to
add,
delete,
or
substitute
emission
reduction
strategies
after
the
EAP
has
been
incorporated
into
the
SIP,
the
local
area
will
initiate,
and
NCDENR
will
facilitate
a
SIP
revision
to
accommodate
changes.

F.
Public
Involvement
1.
Public
involvement
will
be

advertising
and
radio.

2.
Public
education
programs
will
be
used
to
raise
awareness
regarding
issues,
opportunities
for
involvement
in
the
planning
process,
implementation
of

INTRODUCTION
As
a
requirement
of
the
Fayetteville
Early
Action
Compact
(
EAC),
the
progress
report
due
June
30,
2003,
must
include
a
status
report
regarding
the
air
quality
modeling.
This
report
satisfies
this
requirement.
Discussed
in
this
report
are
the
photochemical
model
selection,
episode
selection,
meteorological
model
development,
emissions
inventory
development,
and
the
modeling
status.

The
modeling
system
being
used
for
this
demonstration
and
the
episodes
being
modeled
are
discussed
below
in
further
detail
in
Sections
2
and
3.

The
modeling
analysis
is
a
complex
technical
evaluation
that
begins
by
selection
of
the
modeling
system
and
selection
of
the
meteorological
episodes.
North
Carolina
Division
of
Air
Quality
(
NCDAQ)
decided
to
use
the
following
modeling
system:

 
Meteorological
Model:
MM­
5
 
This
model
generates
hourly
meteorological
inputs
for
the
emissions
model
and
the
air
quality
model,
such
as
wind
speed,
wind
direction,
and
surface
temperature.

 
Emissions
Model:
Sparse
Matrix
Operator
Kernel
Emissions
(
SMOKE)
­
This
model
takes
daily
county
level
emissions
and
temporally
allocates
across
the
day,
spatially
locates
the
emissions
within
the
county,
and
transfers
the
total
emissions
into
the
chemical
species
needed
by
the
air
quality
model.

 
Air
Quality
Model:
MAQSIP
(
Multi­
Scale
Air
Quality
Simulation
Platform)
 
This
model
takes
the
inputs
from
the
emissions
model
and
meteorological
model
and
predicts
ozone
hour
by
hour
across
the
modeling
domain,
both
horizontally
and
vertically.

The
following
historical
episodes
were
selected
to
model
because
they
represent
typical
meteorological
conditions
in
North
Carolina
when
high
ozone
is
observed
throughout
the
State:

 
July
10­
15,
1995
 
June
20­
24,
1996
 
June
25­
30,
1996
 
July
10­
15,
1997
The
meteorological
inputs
were
developed
using
MM5
and
are
discussed
in
detail
in
Section
4.

The
precursors
to
ozone,
Nitogen
Oxides
(
NOx),
Volatile
Organic
Compounds
(
VOCs),
and
Carbon
Monoxide
(
CO)
were
estimated
for
each
source
category.
These
estimates
were
then
spatially
allocated
across
the
county,
temporally
adjusted
to
the
day
of
the
71
week
and
hour
of
the
day
and
speciated
into
the
chemical
species
that
the
air
quality
model
needs
to
predict
ozone.
The
development
of
the
emission
inventories
are
discussed
in
detail
in
Section
5.

The
status
of
the
modeling
work
and
the
issues
that
have
been
encountered
are
discussed
in
Section
6.

MODEL
SELECTION
2.1
Introduction
To
be
useful
in
a
regulatory
framework,
photochemical
grid
models
and
their
applications
must
be
defensible.
Not
only
must
the
U.
S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
be
convinced
of
this,
but
members
of
the
regulated
community
(
stakeholders)
as
well.
Failure
to
convince
EPA
can
result
in
rejection
of
an
implementation
or
maintenance
plan.
Failure
to
convince
the
regulated
community
can
lead
to
diminished
rule
effectiveness
and
litigation.
In
none
of
these
cases
are
the
state's
air
quality
goals
advanced.

To
ensure
that
a
modeling
study
is
defensible,
care
must
be
taken
in
the
selection
of
the
models
to
be
used.
The
models
selected
must
be
scientifically
appropriate
for
the
intended
application
and
be
freely
accessible
to
all
stakeholders.
Scientifically
appropriate
means
that
the
models
address
important
physical
and
chemical
phenomena
in
sufficient
detail,
using
peer
reviewed
methods.
Freely
accessible
means
that
model
formulations
and
coding
are
freely
available
for
review
and
that
the
models
are
available
to
stakeholders,
and
their
consultants,
for
execution
and
verification
at
no
or
low
cost.

In
the
following
sections
we
outline
the
criteria
for
selecting
a
modeling
system
that
is
both
defensible
and
capable
of
meeting
the
study's
goals.

2.2
Selection
of
Photochemical
Grid
Model
2.2.1
Criteria
For
a
photochemical
grid
model
to
qualify
as
a
candidate
for
use
in
an
attainment
demonstration
of
the
8­
hour
ozone
National
Ambient
Air
Quality
Standards
(
NAAQS),
a
State
needs
to
show
that
it
meets
several
general
criteria.

 
The
model
has
received
a
scientific
peer
review
 
The
model
can
be
demonstrated
applicable
to
the
problem
on
a
theoretical
basis
 
Data
bases
needed
to
perform
the
analysis
are
available
and
adequate
 
Available
past
appropriate
performance
evaluations
have
shown
the
model
is
not
biased
toward
underestimates
 
A
protocol
on
methods
and
procedures
to
be
followed
has
been
established
 
The
developer
of
the
model
must
be
willing
to
make
the
source
code
available
to
users
for
free
or
for
a
reasonable
cost,
and
the
model
cannot
otherwise
be
proprietary
73
2.2.2
Overview
of
MAQSIP
The
photochemical
model
selected
for
this
study
is
the
Multiscale
Air
Quality
SImulation
Platform
(
MAQSIP).
MAQSIP
is
a
fully
modularized
three­
dimensional
system
with
various
options
for
representing
the
physical
and
chemical
processes
describing
regional­
and
urban­
scale
atmospheric
pollution.
The
governing
model
equations
for
tracer
continuity
are
formulated
in
generalized
coordinates,
thereby
providing
the
capability
of
interfacing
the
model
with
a
variety
of
meteorological
drivers.
The
model
employs
flexible
horizontal
grid
resolution
with
multiple
multi­
level
nested
grids
with
options
for
one­
way
and
two­
way
nesting
procedures.
In
the
vertical,
the
capability
to
use
nonuniform
grids
is
provided.
Current
applications
have
used
horizontal
grid
resolutions
from
18­
80
km
for
regional
applications
and
2­
6
km
for
urban
scale
simulations,
and
up
to
30
layers
to
discretize
the
vertical
domain.

The
MAQSIP
framework
with
the
detailed
gas­
phase
and
aerosol
model
provides
a
modeling
system
that
can
be
used
for
investigating
the
various
processes
that
govern
the
loading
of
chemical
species
and
anthropogenic
aerosols
at
various
scales
of
atmospheric
motions
from
urban,
regional
to
intercontinental
scales.
For
example,
MAQSIP
has
been
used
to
support
the
Southeastern
States
Air
Resources
Management
(
SESARM)
project
to
produce
seasonal
simulations
of
ozone
over
eastern
United
States.
The
gas­

version
of
the
MAQSIP
(
hereinafter
the
MAQSIP­
PM)
has
been
used
in
urban­
toregional
scale
applications
over
the
eastern
and
western
United
States,
and
western
Europe,
to
study
the
production
and
distribution
of
fine

PM,
and
its
effects
on
visibility
and
the
radiation
budget.

For
regulatory
application,
a
specific

of
MAQSIP
has
been
used
in
this
study.
This

2.3
Selection
of
Meteorological
Model
2.3.1
Criteria
Meteorological
models,
either
through
objective,
diagnostic,
or
prognostic
analysis,
extend
available
information
about
the
state
of
the
atmosphere
to
the
grid
upon
which
photochemical
grid
modeling
is
to
be
carried
out.
The
criteria
for
selecting
a
meteorological
model
are
based
on
both
the
models
ability
to
accurately
replicate
important
meteorological
phenomena
in
the
region
of
study,
and
the
model's
ability
to
interface
with
the
rest
of
the
modeling
systems
­­
particularly
the
photochemical
grid
model.
With
these
issues
in
mind,
the
following
criteria
were
established
for
the
meteorological
model
to
be
used
in
this
study:

 
Non­

2.3.2
Overview
of
MM5
The
meteorological
model
selected
for
this
study
is
the
nonhydrostatic
PSU/
NCAR
Mesoscale
Model
Version
5
(
MM5).
MM5
(
Dudhia
1993;
Grell
et
al.
1994)
is
one
of
the
leading
three­
dimensional
prognostic
meteorological
models
available
for
air
quality
studies.
It
uses
an
efficient
split
semi­
implicit
temporal
integration
scheme
and
has
a
nested­
grid
capability
that
can
use
up
to
ten
different
domains
of
arbitrary
horizontal
resolution.
This
allows
MM5
to
simulate
local
details
with
high
resolution
(
as
fine
as
~
1
km),
while
accounting
for
influences
from
great
distances,
using
horizontal
resolutions
ranging
to
about
200
km.

MM5
uses
a
terrain­
following
nondimensionalized
pressure,
or
"
sigma",
vertical
coordinate
similar
to
that
used
in
many
operational
and
research
models.
In
the
nonhydrostatic
MM5,
the
sigma
levels
are
defined
according
to
the
initial
hydrostatically
balanced
reference
state
so
that
these
levels
are
also
time­
invariant.
The
meteorological
fields
also
can
be
used
in
other
photochemical
grid
models
with
different
coordinate
systems
by
performing
a
vertical
interpolation
followed
by
a
mass­
consistency
reconciliation
step.

The
model
contains
two
types
of
planetary
boundary
layer
(
PBL)
parameterizations
suitable
for
air­
quality
applications,
both
of
which
represent
subgrid­
scale
turbulent
fluxes
of
heat,
moisture,
and
momentum.
A
modified
Blackadar
PBL
(
Zhang
and
Anthes
1982)
uses
a
first­
order
eddy
diffusivity
formulation
for
stable
and
neutral
environments
and
a
nonlocal
closure
for
unstable
regimes.
The
Gayno­
Seaman
PBL
(
Gayno,
1994)
75
uses
a
prognostic
equation
for
the
second­
order
turbulent
kinetic
energy,
while
diagnosing
the
other
key
boundary
layer
terms.
This
is
referred
to
as
a
1.5­
order
PBL,
or
level­
2.5,
scheme
(
Mellor
and
Yamada
1974).

Initial
and
lateral
boundary
conditions
are
specified
for
real­
data
cases
from
mesoscale
3­
D
analyses
performed
at
12­
hour
intervals
on
the
outermost
grid
mesh
selected
by
the
user.
Surface
fields
are
analyzed
at
three­
hour
intervals.
A
Cressman­
based
technique
is
used
to
analyze
standard
surface
and
radiosonde
observations,
using
the
National
Meteorological
Center's
spectral
analysis,
as
a
first
guess
(
Benjamin
and
Seaman
1985).
The
lateral
boundary
data
are
introduced
using
a
relaxation
technique
applied
in
the
outermost
five
rows
and
columns
of
the
coarsest
grid
domain.

For
most
traditional
(
1­
hour
standard)
high­
ozone
episodes,
precipitation
is
not
the
dominant
factor.
On
the
other
hand,
precipitation
events
may
have
a
greater
impact
on
8­
hour
average
ozone
episodes.
The
MM5
contains
five
convective
parameterization
schemes
(
Kuo,
Betts­
Miller,
Fritsch­
Chappell,
Kain­
Fritsch,
and
Grell).
It
also
has
an
explicit
resolved­
scale
precipitation
scheme
(
Dudhia
1989)
that
solves
prognostic
equations
for
cloud
water/
ice
(
qc)
and
larger
liquid
or
frozen
hydrometeors
(
qr).
In
addition
the
model
contains
a
short­
and
long­
wave
radiation
parameterization
(
Dudhia
1989).

2.4
Selection

The
principal
criterion
for
an
emissions

system
is
that
it
accurately
prepares
emissions

in
a
format
suitable
for
the
photochemical

being
used.
The

2.4.2
Overview
of
SMOKE
The
emissions
processing
system
selected
for
this
study
is
the
Sparse
Matrix
Operator
Kernel
Emissions
(
SMOKE).
SMOKE
was
developed
to
reduce
the
large
processing
times
required
to
prepare
emissions
data
for
photochemical
grid
models.
SMOKE
processes
both
anthropogenic
and
biogenic
emissions.
Biogenic
emissions
are
processed
using
an
implementation
of
BEIS­
3.

The
modular
structure
of
SMOKE
(
see
Appendix
A)
removes
much
of
the
redundant
processing
found
in
other
systems.
This
will
provide
even
greater
savings
of
CPU
time
and
disk
space
when
SMOKE
is
used
to
process
control
strategies.
Unlike
other
emission
processing
systems,
SMOKE's
structure
makes
each
process
(
i.
e.,
gridding,
speciation,
temporal
allocation,
and
control
application)
independent
from
the
others.
For
example,
to
run
a
new
control
strategy,
only
the
control
model
must
be
rerun,
and
the
time­
stepped
emissions
multiplied
by
the
matrices.
This
whole
process
takes
only
a
few
minutes
to
process
a
new
point
source
strategy
and
a
few
additional
minutes
if
area
and
mobile
sources
are
also
changed.

SMOKE
has
undergone
an
extensive
process
of
testing
and
validation.
It
has
been
validated
on
a
regional
scale
against
EMS­
95
using
the
OTAG
1990
inventory,
and
on
a
large
urban
scale
against
EPS
2.0
using
North
Carolina's
State
Implementation
Plan
(
SIP)
inventory.
SMOKE
can
be
driven
with
inputs
in
either
EMS­
95,
EPS
2.0
or
IDA
format,
and
it
can
produce
photochemical
grid
model­
ready
emissions
in
forms
suitable
to
drive
UAM­
IV,
UAM­
V,
MAQSIP,
CMAQ
and
SAQM.
SMOKE
has
adopted
the
Models­
3
Input/
Output
Application
Program
Interface
(
I/
O
API)
so
the
emissions
files
created
by
SMOKE
are
directly
readable
by
Models­
3,
MCNC's
MAQSIP,
and
the
supporting
analysis
tools
developed
for
these
systems.

3
EPISODE
SELECTION
3.1
Introduction
The
episode
selection
process
is
critical
to
the
success
of
the
modeling
study.
Correctly
identifying
representative
ozone
episodes
to
model
for
several
areas
in
North
Carolina
allows
us
to
evaluate
with
confidence
various
control
strategies
for
maintaining
the
NAAQS
for
ozone.
Several
factors
influenced
episode
selection
for
this
modeling
study.
In
the
following
sections
we
outline
the
factors
and
considerations
for
episode
selection,
and
then
outline
in
detail
the
episodes
selected
for
this
modeling
study.

3.2
Factors
Influencing
Episode
Selection
Several
factors
influenced
episode
selection
for
this
modeling
study.
The
primary
factor
influencing
episode
selection
was
the
promulgation
of
an
8­
hour
standard
for
ozone
and
the
litigation
that
followed.
This
led
to
uncertainties
surrounding
the
implementation
of
the
standard.
Also,
the
form
of
the
new
8­
hour
standard
makes
it
less
dependent
on
extreme
events
than
the
1­
hour
standard.
Therefore,
meteorological
scenarios
associated
with
8­
hour
exceedances
were
reviewed
and
considered
for
modeling.
A
combination
of
these
factors
led
to
choosing
episodes
where
both
the
1­
hour
and
8­
hour
standards
were
exceeded.

The
EPA
issued
a
new
ambient
air
quality
standard
based
on
the
daily
maximum
8­
hour
averaged
concentration
for
ozone
in
July
1997.
In
June
of
1998,
EPA
revoked
the
1­
hour
standard
in
North
Carolina
since
all
areas
of
the
state
had
attained
that
standard.
However,
in
the
1998
ozone
season,
North
Carolina
experienced
its
first
violation
of
the
1­
hour
ozone
standard
since
1990
in
the
Charlotte
area.
Later,
in
May
1999,
a
D.
C.
District
Court
ruling
instructed
EPA
that
an
intelligible
principle
for
the
setting
of
the
new
8­
hour
standard
had
to
be
defined
and
that
enforcement
of
the
8­
hour
standard
was
prohibited
by
the
court
until
EPA
had
done
so.
In
1999,
EPA
reinstated
the
old
1­
hour
standard.
The
result
of
all
of
the
changing
policy
and
litigation
is
that
the
modeling
study
must
shift
its
primary
focus
from
a
traditional
analysis
solely
targeted
at
1­
hour
averaged
ozone
values,
to
an
analysis
of
both
1­
hour
and
8­
hour
averaged
values.
Analysis
of
episodes
with
exceedances
of
1­
hour
and
8­
hour
standards
will
also
allow
an
assessment
of
the
differences
that
two
standards
may
have
on
control
strategy
development
and
will
indicate
whether
control
strategies
designed
to
meet
the
8­
hour
standard
will
also
be
effective
at
reducing
ozone
levels
below
the
1­
hour
standard.
The
"
dual"
need
to
model
1­
hour
and
8­
hour
exceedances
was
a
primary
criterion
in
the
episode
selection
process.

A
second
factor
affecting
the
selection
process
was
the
form
of
the
new
standard.
The
1
hour
standard
allowed
1
exceedance
per
year
in
a
region
on
average
with
the
design
value
being
the
4th
highest
1
hour
value
in
that
region
over
3
years.
This
means
that,
in
theory,
only
the
3
worst
case
episodes
in
a
3­
year
period
can
be
removed
from
consideration
for
78
modeling.
The
design
value
under
the
8­
hour
standard
is
calculated
differently.
It
is
the
yearly
4th
highest
8­
hour
value
at
each
monitor,
averaged
over
3
years.
With
the
new
standard
it
is
possible
to
"
throw
out"
the
3
worst
case
episode
days
of
each
year,
or
approximately
9
days
over
3
years
for
each
monitor.
Because
the
4th
high
value
is
determined
for
each
individual
monitor,
discarding
days
with
higher
values
can
result
in
the
removal
of
more
than
9
worst
case
days
if
the
high
readings
for
all
monitors
do
not
occur
on
the
same
days.
For
example,
exceedances
may
be
measured
north
of
a
city
during
days
when
the
wind
blows
predominately
from
the
south,
but
measured
at
monitors
south
of
the
city
on
other
days
when
winds
are
northerly.
Discarding
days
above
the
4th
highest
measurement
in
this
example
could
result
in
removal
of
more
than
9
worst
case
episode
days
in
three
years.
This
makes
the
standard
less
dependent
on
extreme
events.

3.3
Episode
Selection
Considerations
The
methodologies
suggested
in
EPA's
draft
guidance
for
episode
selection
is
the
same
for
both
the
1­
hour
and
8­
hour
standards.
These
methodologies
were
applied
to
the
extent
possible
when
attempting
to
choose
episodes.
The
episode
selection
criterion
was
compromised
to
some
extent
by
the
need
to
simultaneously
model
multiple
areas
in
North
Carolina.

First,
we
considered
a
mix
of
episodes
reflecting
a
variety
of
meteorological
scenarios
which
frequently
correspond
with
observed
8­
hour
daily
maxima
>
84
ppb
at
different
monitoring
sites.
An
analysis
of
each
ozone
episode
was
made
using
several
sources
of
air
quality
and
meteorological
data
to
determine
the
episodes
that
would
contribute
the
most
to
the
modeling
effort.

Secondly,
we
considered
periods
in
which
observed
8­
hour
daily
maximum
concentrations
were
within
±
10
ppb
of
each
area's
design
value.
Because
modeling
for
the
new
8­
hour
standard
may
capture
some
1­
hour
exceedances,
8­
hour
averaged
ozone
concentrations
were
given
primary
consideration.
The
8­
hour
design
values
were
calculated
statewide,
with
a
focus
on
the
three
major
urban
areas
of
NC;
Charlotte/
Gastionia,
Greensboro/
Winston­
Salem
(
the
Triad),
and
Raleigh/
Durham
(
RDU),
using
monitored
values
from
1994­
2002.
The
average
of
each
year's
fourth
highest
daily
8­
hour
averaged
maximum
concentration
for
each
monitor
statewide
was
calculated
and
used
as
a
guide
for
determining
the
episodes
with
concentrations
within
±
10
ppb
of
the
area's
design
value.

Finally,
the
temporal
and
spatial
distribution
of
ozone
throughout
NC
was
also
an
important
consideration.
The
new
8­
hour
standard
brings
areas
such
as
Asheville,
Fayetteville,
Greenville/
Rocky
Mount/
Wilson
(
Down
East),
Hickory,
and
other
various
areas
into
non­
attainment.
Therefore,
it
was
necessary
to
choose
episodes
affecting
those
areas
as
well
as
the
three
major
urban
areas
mentioned
above.
Episodes
containing
widespread
ozone
exceedances
were
given
priority
over
those
containing
isolated
exceedances.
Also,
the
need
to
study
the
cumulative
effects
of
ozone
build­
up
over
a
79
number
of
days
was
recognized,
so
episodes
of
extended
duration
were
given
preference
over
single
day
exceedances.

Meeting
all
of
the
criteria
in
all
areas
is
sometimes
difficult.
The
episode
selection
criterion
was
compromised
to
some
extent
by
the
need
to
simultaneously
model
multiple
areas.
For
example,
during
many
"
moderate"
ozone
events,
ozone
exceedances
are
not
widespread
throughout
NC.
Selection
of
these
episodes
can
dramatically
increase
the
number
of
modeled
episodes
needed
to
complete
a
thorough
analysis
of
all
nonattainment
areas
across
the
state.
On
the
other
hand,
episodes
with
exceedances
in
all
non­
attainment
areas
often
contain
scattered
extreme
values.

To
reduce
the
number
of
episodes
to
a
manageable
number,
while
also
performing
a
complete
analysis
on
each
major
urban
area
of
NC,
we
made
some
compromise
in
the
selection
criteria.
Ideally,
no
days
with
concentrations
well
above
an
area's
design
value
would
have
been
included
in
the
selected
episodes.
However,
on
some
days
concentrations
in
one
or
two
areas
were
found
to
be
ideal
for
modeling
while
another
area
had
observed
concentrations
well
above
its'
ozone
design
value.
Days
such
as
these
were
included
in
the
selected
episodes
due
to
the
days'
overall
positive
attributes.

3.4
Episode
Selection
Procedures
Ambient
data
was
used
to
determine
the
days
that
exceedances
of
the
1­
hour
and/
or
8­
hour
standard
occurred
in
any
of
the
major
urban
areas
of
NC
from
1995
through
1997.
These
days
were
grouped
into
episodes
and
evaluated
using
the
selection
criteria
discussed
in
the
preceding
section.
An
analysis
of
each
ozone
episode
was
made
using
several
sources
of
air
quality
and
meteorological
data
to
determine
the
episodes
that
would
contribute
the
most
to
the
modeling
effort.

Sets
of
ambient
ozone
data
from
1995­
1997
for
the
eastern
US
were
plotted
using
Voyager
Viewer
software.
The
data
were
plotted
for
the
eastern
US
using
both
hourly
and
8­
hour
peak
ozone
concentrations.
This
permitted
easy
assessment
of
the
spatial
and
temporal
distribution
of
ozone
throughout
North
Carolina
as
well
as
other
areas
of
the
eastern
US
and
made
it
possible
to
easily
determine
whether
the
event
was
regional,
subregional
or
local
in
nature.
These
plots
combined
with
meteorological
plots
also
indicated
the
potential
for
recirculation.
In
one
episode,
shifts
in
wind
direction
corresponded
to
shifts
in
the
location
of
ozone
peaks
in
the
Charlotte
area,
suggesting
that
recirculation
may
have
contributed
to
exceedances
of
both
ozone
standards.

In
addition
to
the
ambient
data
plots,
several
surface
and
upper
air
meteorological
data
sets
were
used
to
assess
the
atmospheric
conditions
contributing
to
the
build­
up
of
ozone
in
each
episode.
Local
Climatological
Data
sheets
were
used
to
collect
diurnal
data
on
temperatures,
precipitation,
and
wind
speed
and
direction.
Daily
weather
maps
were
used
to
determine
the
location
of
surface
fronts,
troughs,
and
ridges
as
well
as
daily
peak
temperatures,
precipitation,
and
the
location
of
high
and
low
pressure
areas.
Analysis
charts
(
0000
Z
and
1200
Z)
for
the
surface,
850
mb,
700
mb,
and
500
mb
levels
from
the
80
NOAA­
NCEP
ETA
meteorological
computer
model
were
also
used
to
assess
conditions
such
as
surface
and
upper
air
wind
fields,
temperatures,
moisture,
and
the
location
of
ridges
and
troughs.
The
conditions
contributing
to
high
levels
of
ozone
were
determined
through
chart
analysis,
and
the
type
of
meteorology
was
used
to
group
episodes.

3.5
Episode
Selection
All
days
with
ozone
exceedances
in
any
of
the
major
urban
areas
of
NC
were
considered
in
the
episode
selection
process.
These
days
were
divided
into
episodes
based
on
the
distribution
of
measured
ozone
and
the
meteorological
conditions
that
occurred
throughout
the
period
of
exceedance.
The
meteorological
characteristics
of
each
episode
were
studied
using
the
tools
outlined
in
the
previous
section.
All
episodes
will
have
some
common
characteristics.
Warm
temperatures,
little
or
no
precipitation,
and
relatively
light
winds
are
needed
to
produce
ozone
episodes.
Typically,
those
conditions
are
characteristic
of
a
surface
high­
pressure
area.
The
differences
in
the
position,
strength,
and
movement
of
the
surface
high­
pressure
areas,
along
with
differences
in
the
mid­
toupper
level
wind
patterns,
allow
us
to
discern
several
meteorological
scenarios
in
which
ozone
episodes
are
likely.
These
meteorological
scenarios
are
discussed
in
the
following
paragraphs.

Conditions
that
traditionally
lead
to
large­
scale
exceedances
of
the
1­
hr
standard
result
from
the
development
of
a
broad
surface
high
pressure
area
sprawled
over
the
eastern
third
of
the
US
and
a
large
mid­
to­
upper
level
high
pressure
area
near
the
Midwest
(
Scenario
1
 
Eastern
Stacked
High).
The
mid­
to­
upper
level
ridge
blocks
the
movement
of
fronts
into
the
Eastern
US
and
often
results
in
very
hot
temperatures,
little
precipitation,
and
the
buildup
of
high
1­
hr
and
8­
hr
ozone
concentrations
over
much
of
the
Midwest,
Northeast,
and
South.
As
the
mid­
to­
upper
level
ridge
slowly
slides
eastward,
it
situates
itself
over
the
surface
high­
pressure
creating
a
"
stacked
high"
over
the
Eastern
US.
The
resulting
large­
scale
subsidence
leads
to
very
low
vertical
mixing
heights
prohibiting
dispersion
of
precursor
pollutants.
The
stagnant
air
mass
from
the
"
stacked
high"
scenario
is
prime
for
ozone
episodes
in
the
Eastern
US.
A
trough
can
develop
in
east/
central
NC
during
this
scenario
producing
south­
southwesterly
flow
east
of
the
trough
and
causing
a
large
ozone
concentration
gradient.
The
presence
of
the
trough
can
limit
ozone
readings
east
of
the
trough
axis
below
the
1­
hour
and
8­
hour
standards
throughout
the
episode.
(
An
example
of
these
conditions
is
recorded
in
the
July
14,
1995
Daily
Weather
Map
[
Figure
3.5­
1].
The
500­
mb
chart
clearly
shows
the
presence
of
a
large
high
pressure
area
over
the
Midwest.)

The
most
frequently
occurring
meteorological
scenario
(
Scenario
2
 
Frontal
Approach)
is
characterized
by
the
movement
of
cold
fronts
toward
NC
and
the
presence
of
high
pressure
to
the
south
or
southwest
of
the
state.
Cold
fronts
often
move
toward
NC
during
the
summer
months
but
are
typically
not
strong
enough
to
move
completely
through
the
state.
They
commonly
become
east­
west
oriented
and
stall
as
far
south
as
southern
Virginia
or
northern
sections
of
NC.
The
front
may
dip
into
northern
portions
of
NC
and
then
retreat
as
a
warm
front
creating
wind
shifts
or
re­
circulation
patterns.
A
81
southwesterly
surface
flow
predominates
as
the
front
approaches,
but
as
the
front
moves
into
northern
sections
of
NC,
winds
become
more
northerly.
When
the
front
retreats
back
to
the
north
as
a
warm
front,
southwesterly
winds
return
to
the
entire
state.
In
the
meantime,
a
zonal
flow
exists
in
the
mid­
to­
upper
levels.
High
temperatures
range
from
the
low
to
upper
90'
s
and
dew
points
are
in
the
upper
60'
s
to
mid
70'
s.
Scattered
exceedances
of
the
1­
hour
standard
and
widespread
exceedances
of
the
8­
hour
standards
may
be
realized
in
NC
during
these
conditions.
(
These
conditions
can
be
seen
in
the
June
23,
1996
Daily
Weather
Map
in
[
Figure
3.5­
2].
Note
the
presence
of
a
stationary
front
along
the
NC/
VA
border.)

A
third
meteorological
scenario
(
Scenario
3
 
Canadian
High)
resulting
in
high
buildups
of
ozone
in
NC
is
characterized
by
a
surface
high­
pressure
area
building
in
from
the
north,
and
a
mid­
to­
upper
level
ridge
that
builds
and
sprawls
to
the
west
of
NC
in
the
Mid­
Mississippi
Valley
area.
The
position
of
the
mid­
to­
upper
level
ridge
produces
a
northerly
flow
aloft
throughout
this
scenario.
As
the
Canadian­
born
surface
highpressure
builds
into
NC,
it
brings
with
it
milder
and
drier
air
by
means
of
a
northnortheasterly
breeze.
These
conditions
can
lead
to
scattered
exceedances
of
the
8­
hour
standard
in
NC.
Temperatures
are
typically
in
the
low
to
mid
80'
s
(
with
dew
points
in
the
low
to
mid
60'
s)
during
the
beginning
of
this
type
of
episode.
However,
as
the
center
of
the
surface
high­
pressure
slides
into
NC,
and
the
winds
become
light
and
variable,
highs
may
reach
the
upper
80'
s
to
low
90'
s
(
with
dew
points
in
the
upper
60'
s
to
low
70'
s).
Scattered
exceedances
of
the
1­
hour
standard
and
widespread
exceedances
of
the
8­
hour
standards
may
be
realized
in
NC
during
these
conditions.
(
An
example
of
these
conditions
is
shown
in
Figure
3.5­
3
[
June
28,
1996].)

The
fourth
meteorological
scenario
(
Scenario
4
 
Modified
Canadian
High
with
slight
Tropical
Influence),
initially,
is
very
similar
to
Scenario
3
above.
Canadian
born
surface
high­
pressure
builds
into
NC
delivering
lower
dew
points
and
milder
temperatures
with
a
light
north­
northeasterly
wind.
This
cool
down
is
short­
lived
however.
As
the
highpressure
center
moves
south
of
NC,
a
light
southwesterly
flow
dominates,
temperatures
soar,
and
dew
points
increase.
A
mid­
to­
upper
level
ridge
slowly
sprawls
eastward
across
the
country,
resulting
in
a
very
weak
flow
aloft.
Occasionally,
when
the
mid­
toupper
level
flow
is
very
weak
along
the
East
Coast
during
the
mid­
to­
late
summer,
tropical
systems
that
work
their
way
across
the
Atlantic
Ocean
can
approach
the
Southeast
US.
Although
it
does
not
occur
frequently,
a
tropical
system
lurking
off
the
Carolina
coast
may
influence
conditions
over
NC
in
the
form
of
subsidence
in
the
mid­
toupper
levels.
Subsidence
is
usually
distributed
over
a
wide
area
away
from
tropical
systems,
and
leads
to
cloudless
skies
and
hot
dry
weather.
The
strength
and
proximity
of
the
tropical
system
will
influence
the
magnitude
and
extent
of
the
subsidence
and
its'
role
in
ozone
formation
in
NC.
(
An
example
of
these
conditions
is
shown
in
Figure
3.5­
4
[
July
14,
1997].)

Meteorological
scenarios
other
than
the
four
identified
above
can
result
in
ozone
episodes.
These
"
other"
episodes,
however,
commonly
do
not
meet
the
temporal
or
spatial
requirements
of
the
episode
selection
criteria
for
modeling
defined
in
the
U.
S.
EPA
Draft
Modeling
Guidance
for
Ozone
Attainment
Demonstrations.
One­
day
ozone
82
episodes
can
occur
during
a
progressive
meteorological
pattern
(
Scenario
5
 
Continental
High
in
a
progressive
pattern).
A
surface
high­
pressure
area
moving
across
the
US
and
into
NC
for
one
day
characterizes
this
scenario.
This
results
in
clear
skies,
light
winds,
and
isolated
8­
hour
ozone
exceedances.

An
initial
analysis
of
ambient
data
and
Daily
Weather
Maps
was
used
to
place
each
of
the
ozone
episodes
into
one
of
the
four
meteorological
scenarios
identified
above.
A
list
of
the
number
of
monitors
with
exceedances
of
the
8­
hour
standard
in
each
of
the
major
urban
areas
was
compiled
and
reviewed.
This
information
was
used
to
exclude
those
episodes
from
each
category
that
did
not
have
sufficient
spatial
or
temporal
distribution
to
justify
further
study.
A
more
detailed
analysis
of
each
of
the
remaining
episodes
was
made
using
all
sources
of
air
quality
and
meteorological
data
to
select
the
episodes
that
would
best
meet
modeling
objectives.

To
better
understand
the
impact
of
emission
controls
under
the
full
range
of
meteorological
conditions,
one
episode
from
each
meteorological
scenario
was
selected
for
modeling.
The
four
episodes
were
selected
because
they
represented
a
good
crosssection
of
events
from
both
an
air
quality
and
meteorological
perspective.
They
were
also
selected
because
observed
ozone
concentrations
were
close
to
the
areas
design
value,
and
high
ozone
values
were
widespread
throughout
NC.
One
episode
was
selected
from
1995
(
Scenario­
1),
two
from
1996
(
Scenario­
2
&
Scenario­
3),
and
one
from
1997
(
Scenario­
4).
The
two
episodes
selected
from
1996
were
separated
by
only
two
days
during
which
time
a
strong
cold
front
cleaned
out
the
atmosphere
as
it
passed
through
the
state.
The
two
episodes
will
be
modeled
simultaneously.
This
presents
a
good
opportunity
to
test
the
ability
of
the
air
quality
model
to
produce
clean
conditions
in
the
middle
of
an
episode.

These
episodes
provide
a
wide
range
of
conditions
that
will
provide
the
basis
for
a
thorough
analysis
of
the
variety
of
factors
that
lead
to
ozone
exceedances
in
NC.
Control
strategies
can
be
tested
under
conditions
that
range
from
short
duration
ozone
peaks
above
the
1­
hour
standard
to
extended
periods
of
moderate
levels
of
ozone
producing
widespread
exceedances
of
the
8­
hour
standard.
These
episodes
also
range
from
multiregional
to
exceedances
confined
primarily
to
the
state
of
NC.

The
first
episode
(
Episode­
E1)
is
a
3­
day
episode
that
occurred
from
June
13
 
15,
1995.
(
See
the
July
14
Daily
Weather
Map
in
Figure
3.5­
1.)
This
episode
was
modeled
by
the
Northeast
Modeling
Center
as
part
of
the
OTAG
study
of
ozone
transport.
This
episode
is
a
traditional
ozone
episode
with
high
1­
hour
and
8­
hour
averages
throughout
almost
all
areas
of
the
South,
East,
and
Midwest.
A
very
strong
upper
level
ridge
developed
to
the
west
of
NC
and
moved
slowly
to
the
east
throughout
the
episode.
On
July
15th,
the
1­
hour
peak
reached
166
ppb
in
Atlanta,
179
ppb
in
Baltimore,
and
154
ppb
near
Chicago.
The
highest
readings
were
recorded
in
NC
on
July
14th;
129
ppb
in
Charlotte
(
99
ppb
8­
hour)
and
130
ppb
in
the
Triad
area
(
112
ppb
8­
hour).
A
trough
developed
in
eastern
NC
on
July
14th
producing
south­
southwesterly
flow
east
of
the
trough
and
causing
a
large
ozone
concentration
gradient.
Although
a
1­
hour
peak
of
129
ppb
was
measured
in
Charlotte,
the
peak
ozone
was
only
39
ppb
100
miles
to
the
east.
The
presence
of
the
83
trough
kept
ozone
readings
in
the
Raleigh/
Durham
area
below
the
1­
hour
and
8­
hour
standards
throughout
the
episode.
The
trough
moved
to
the
west
on
July
15th
and
dropped
1­
hour
averages
in
Charlotte
and
the
Triad
below
the
standard;
however,
8­
hour
concentrations
remained
above
0.085
ppm.

The
first
1996
episode
(
Episode­
E2)
occurred
June
21
 
24
1996.
It
is
primarily
a
NC
episode.
(
See
the
June
23
Daily
Weather
Map
in
Figure
3.5­
2.)
Concentrations
in
most
other
areas
of
the
South
and
East
were
lower
than
those
in
NC.
This
episode
is
dominated
by
the
presence
of
a
front
to
the
north
and
high
pressure
to
the
southwest
of
the
state.
The
movement
of
the
front
and
the
monitored
ozone
readings
indicate
possible
recirculation
during
the
episode.
Light
southwesterly
flow
was
present
on
22
June
and
resulted
in
a
1­
hour/
8­
hour
peak
of
133/
110
ppb
and
113/
99
ppb
northeast
of
Charlotte
and
Durham,
respectively.
As
the
front
moved
into
northern
portions
of
NC
on
the
23rd,
winds
became
more
northerly
and
concentrations
in
the
Triad
and
Raleigh/
Durham
area's
fell.
Ozone
and
precursor
pollutants
were
pushed
back
into
Charlotte
and
resulted
in
exceedances
of
the
1­
hour
and
8­
hour
standard
at
all
three
Mecklenburg
county
ozone
monitors.
On
the
24th,
the
front
retreated
north
as
a
warm
front
and
southwesterly
winds
returned
to
the
entire
state.
Ozone
levels
increased
throughout
northern
portions
of
NC
and
8­
hour
averaged
concentrations
between
90
and
100
ppb
were
recorded
in
the
major
urban
areas
of
the
Piedmont.
One
exceedance
of
the
1­
hour
standard
(
134
ppb)
was
measured
at
the
Rockwell
site,
northeast
of
Charlotte.

A
stronger
front
moved
toward
NC
on
the
25th
touching
off
storms
and
dropping
ozone
readings.
The
front
passed
through
the
state
by
the
26th
and
concentrations
remained
low.
An
upper
level
ridge
began
to
build
to
the
west
of
NC
and
surface
high
pressure
over
Canada
moved
southward
throughout
episode
(
Episode­
E3)
(
June
27
 
29,
1996)
and
settled
into
western
NC
by
the
29th.
(
See
the
June
28
Daily
Weather
Map
in
Figure
3.5­
3.)
Northerly
winds
were
predominant
at
the
surface
and
upper
levels.
High
temperatures
remained
90
and
below
in
NC
and
much
of
the
eastern
half
of
the
US
during
this
period.
Dew
point
temperatures
were
relatively
low
and
winds
were
light
enough
to
produce
8­
hour
exceedances
in
many
areas
of
NC
on
the
28th
and
29th.
As
high
pressure
remained
over
western
NC,
ozone
concentrations
continued
to
rise
throughout
the
episode.
Exceedances
of
the
1­
hour
standard
were
measured
at
two
monitors
in
Charlotte
on
the
29th.

The
final
episode
selected
for
analysis
(
Episode­
E4)
occurred
July
11
 
15,
1997.
(
See
the
July

Daily
Weather
Map
in
Figure
3.5­
4.)
The
previous
three
episodes
did
not
capture
typical
ozone
behaviors
in
the
center
city
areas
of
the
Triad
and
the
Triangle.
The
selection
of
this
episode
also
was
driven
by
the
need
to
model
an
episode
that
captured
ozone
events
in
areas
such
as
Greenville,
Fayetteville,
and
Hickory.
The
most
distinctive
aspect
of
this
episode,
however,
is
that
a
1­
hour
exceedance
occurred
in
the
Triangle
area
on
the
July
14th.
No
other
episode
captures
a
1­
hour
exceedance
in
this
region.
On
the
first
three
days
of
the
episode,
meteorological
conditions
were
very
similar
to
those
in
episode
E3.
On
the
14th
and
15th,
however,
the
surface
high­
pressure
center
moved
over
NC,
the
mid­
to­
upper
level
flow
relaxed,
and
a
tropical
depression
off
the
NC
coast
strengthens
into
Tropical
Storm
"
Claudette".
It
is
possible
that
the
tropical
84
system
influenced
conditions
in
NC
(
especially
Eastern
NC)
on
the
14th
and
15th.
Temperatures
soared
into
the
mid
90'
s
with
dew
points
in
the
mid­
to­
upper
60s.
The
backward

from
Rocky

NC
(

the
possible
influence
from
the
tropical
system
(
Note
the
subsidence
at
midlevels
from
0Z
 
20Z
on
the
14th.)
Exceedances
of
the
8­
hour
standard
were
recorded
in
North
Carolina,
South
Carolina
and
Virginia
as
the
surface
high­
pressure
center
moved
over
NC,
the
mid­
to­
upper
level
flow
aloft
weakened,
and
the
tropical
system
made
it's
nearest
approach.

METEOROLOGICAL
MODELING
4.1
Introduction
Meteorological
data
needed
for
the
MAQSIP
application
were
obtained
from
the
MM5
modeling
system.
Numerical
meteorological
models
solve
the
governing
equations
of
atmospheric
physics
over
time
and
space
in
order
to
provide
cell­
specific
meteorological
inputs
into
the
photochemical
model.

Prognostic
models
such
as
MM5
are
particularly
advantageous
(
as
opposed
to
objective/
diagnostic
techniques
for
meteorological
input
development)
over
domains
in
which
atmospheric
circulation
not
adequately
characterized
by
existing
data
networks
play
an
important
role
in
pollutant
transport.
Within
the
modeling
domain
topographical
flow,
sea
breeze
circulation,
and
the
effects
of
differential
UV
attenuation
due
to
clouds
will
need
to
be
accurately
simulated
in
order
to
successfully
model
ozone
formation,
transport,
and
destruction
within
the
airshed.

4.2
Grid
Definition
Table
4.2­

lists
the
specifications
of
each
of
the
four
MM5
nested
grids.
Figure
4­
1
through
4­
3
illustrates
the
MM5
domains
utilized
for
the
modeling.
Grids
01
(
108
km)
and
02
(
36
km)
are
more
expansive
than
the
outermost
MAQSIP
grid
and
are
intended
to
capture
the
broad,
synoptic
scale
meteorological
features
of
the
episodes.
Grids
03
(
12
km)
and
04
(
4km)
encompass
the
corresponding
fine­
mesh
domains
within
MAQSIP
and
are
required
to
capture
the
mesoscale
elements
of
pollutant
transport
within
the
airshed.
Since
the
4km­
domain
configuration
varies
with
each
episode,
the
numbers
in
Table
4.2­

for
D
04
represent
the
differing
specifications,

Given
that
the
emphasis
of
the
meteorological
modeling
is
mid­
latitudinal,
a
Lambert
Conformal
map
projection
has
been
chosen.
The
horizontal
grid
uses
an
Arakawa­
Lamb
B­
staggering
of
the
wind
vector
components;
scalar
variables
are
defined
at
cell
centers.
In
the
vertical,
26
layers
are
modeled
using
terrain
following
coordinates
(
sigma
coordinates).
With
the
exception
of
vertical
velocity,
all
state
variables
are
defined
at
half­
sigma
levels
(
i.
e.,
the
midpoint
of
layer
depth).
The
pressure
at
the
top
of
the
model
is
100
millibars.

The
meteorological
model
used
for
the
1995
modeling
episode,
MM5
version1,
used
the
postprocessor
Meteorology
Chemistry
Interface
Processor
(
MCIP)
to
prepare
the
MAQSIP
model
inputs.
This
post­
processor
could
collapse
some
of
the
meteorological
layers
so
that
the
MAQSIP
model
could
run
with
fewer
layers
and
reduce
the
processing
time.
North
Carolina
ran
a
number
of
sensitivity
runs,
collapsing
some
of
the
upper
layers,
to
see
if
the
air
quality
predictions
were
adversely
affected.
From
this
analysis,
it
was
determined
that
the
minimum
number
of
layer
that
the
MAQSIP
model
could
run
with
was
16
layers
without
differing
significantly
from
running
the
model
with
all
26
layers.
The
first
12
layers
of
the
meteorological
model
are
mapped
directly
and
the
upper
14
MM5
layers
are
collapsed
into
4
MAQSIP
layers.
The
estimated
vertical
grid
resolution
for
the
MAQSIP
model
for
the
1995

episode
is

For
the
1996
and
1997
modeling
episodes,
newer
versions
of
the
meteorological
model
were
used.
The
post­
processor
for
the
new
versions
is
Meteorology­
Coupler
(
MCPL)
and
it
cannot
collapse
the
meteorological
data
into
a
format
that
the
MAQSIP
model
can
use.
Therefore,
the
photochemical
model
runs
with
26
layers,
mapping
the
meteorological
data
directly,
for
the
1996
and
1997
episodes.

standard
set
of
objective
metrics
to
evaluate
model
performance
for
various
meteorological
parameters
were
generated
for
this
project.
The
basic
methodology
employed
used
the
base
variables
that
were
available
for
observational
nudging.
These
variables
include
temperature,
water
vapor
mixing
ratio,
east­
west
wind
and
south­
north
wind.
Note
that
only
the
wind
components
are
actually
used
for
observational
nudging.
The
observed
winds
have
been
rotated
to
the
model
projection
(
Lambert
Conformal).
The
model/
obs
pairs
are
matched
on
a
grid
cell
basis;
no
bilinear
interpolation
is
performed.
If
more
than
one
observation
lies
within
a
cell,
the
observations
are
averaged
and
the
value
is
treated
as
if
it
were
a
single
observation.
For
the
wind
components
and
mixing
ratio,
layer
1
(~
38m)
values
are
used.
Temperatures
are
adjusted
to
1.5
meters
by
logarithmically
interpolating
between
the
layer
1
temperature
and
the
"
skin"
temperature.
The
results
of
this
interpolation
were
compared
with
a
more
sophisticated
methodology
in
which
the
interpolation
varies
with
stability
class,
and
we
found
little
significant
differences
between
the
two.
Since
observational
nudging
was
employed
only
at
12­
km
and
4­
km
resolutions,
performance
statistics
were
produced
only
for
those
grids.

A
limited
sample
of
the
performance
metrics
for
each
episode
is
provided
in
Figures
4.5­

Currently,
there
is
no
accepted
standard
by
which
to
judge
meteorological
model
performance.
Modelers
usually
calculate
the
basic
statistics
such
as
bias,
error,
or
index
of
agreement
and
compare
their
results
with
the
same
quantities
from
prior
and
similar
modeling
exercises.
The
problem
with
such
an
approach
is
that
these
numbers
are
a
function
of
the
domain
size
modeled,
the
length
of
the
simulation,
and
the
meteorology
being
modeled.
In
this
modeling
study,
the
modeling
team,
including
a
number
of
air
quality
meteorologists,
examined
all
of
the
meteorological
modeling
output
both
quantitatively
through
statistical
metrics
and
qualitatively
through
a
series
of
graphical
metrics.

When
passing
final
judgment
regarding
the
accuracy
of
a
meteorological
simulation,
the
modeling
team
concluded
that
the
results
satisfactorily
address
the
following
questions:

A.
Do
the
model
results
fit
our
conceptual
understanding?
The
model
replicates
the
observed
synoptic
pattern,
placing
surface
pressure
systems
in
the
proper
location
and
matches
the
upper
air
pattern.
102
B.
Are
diurnal
features
adequately
captured?
The
diurnal
cycle
is
adequately
represented
in
the
model.
For
example,
the
mixing
heights
increase
during
the
day
and
collapse
at
night
in
a
reasonable
way.
Similarly
temperatures,
summertime
convection,
and
winds
show
diurnal
variation.

C.
Is
the
vertical
mixing
appropriate?
The
PBL
depth
and
evolution
is
well
modeled.

D.
Are
clouds
reasonably
well
modeled?
Secondary
quantities
such
as
clouds
are
particularly
useful
to
analyze
since
they
are
not
"
nudged"
to
the
observations.
We
see
that
on
a
synoptic
scale
the
model
clouds
will
generally
match
the
observations.
Convective
clouds
are
unlikely
to
occur
precisely
in
the
right
place
and
at
the
right
time,
but
the
general
region/
time
of
convective
development
is
adequate.

E.
Do
the
wind
fields
agree
with
the
observations?
The
model
adequately
captures
the
observed
wind
fields
so
that
transport
in
the
subsequent
air
quality
runs
is
done
correctly.

G.
Do
the
temperature
and
moisture
fields
generally
match
the
observations?
These
first
order
scalar
quantities
are
well
captured
by
the
model.

H.
Do
the
meteorological
fields
produce
acceptable
air
quality
results?
While
air
quality
models
can
have
problems
of
their
own,
many
times
poor
air
quality
modeling
results
occur
due
to
problems
with
the
input
meteorological
fields.
This
is
often
a
good
test
to
determine
whether
the
meteorological
model
adequately
predicts
the
fields
to
which
the
air
quality
model
is
most
sensitive.
A
number
of
air
quality
runs
were
conducted
to
test
the
sensitivity
to
different
meteorological
inputs.

EMISSIONS
INVENTORY
5.1
Introduction
There
are
five
different
emission
inventory
source
classifications,
stationary
point
and
area
sources,
off­
road
and
on­
road
mobile
sources,
and
biogenic
sources.

Stationary
point
sources
are
those
sources
that
emit
greater
than
a
specified
tonage
per
year
and
the
data
is
provided
at
the
facility
level.
Stationary
area
sources
are
those
sources
whose
emissions
are
relatively
small
but
due
to
the
large
number
of
these
sources,
the
collective
emissions
could
be
significant
(
i.
e.,
dry
cleaners,
service
stations,
etc.)
These
type
of
emissions
are
estimated
on
the
county
level.
Off­
road
mobile
sources
are
equipment
that
can
move
but
do
not
use
the
roadways,
i.
e.,
lawn
mowers,
construction
equipment,
railroad
locomotives,
aircraft,
etc.
The
emissions
from
these
sources,
like
stationary
area
sources,
are
estimated
on
the
county
level.
On­
road
mobile
sources
are
automobiles,
trucks,
and
motorcycles
that
use
the
roadway
system.
The
emissions
from
these
sources
are
estimated
by
vehicle
type
and
road
type
and
are
summed
to
the
county
level.
Biogenic
sources
are
the
natural
sources
like
trees,
crops,
grasses
and
natural
decay
of
plants.
The
emissions
from
these
sources
are
estimated
on
a
county
level.

In
addition
to
the
various
source
classifications,
there
are
also
various
types
of
emission
inventories.
The
first
is
the
base
year
or
episodic
inventory.
This
inventory
is
based
on
the
year
of
the
episode
being
modeled
and
is
used
for
validating
the
photochemical
model
performance.

The
second
inventory
used
in
this
project
is
the
"
current"
year
inventory.
For
this
modeling
project
it
will
be
the
2000
emission
inventory,
which
is
the
most
current.
This
inventory
is
processed
using
all
of
the
different
meteorological
episodes
being
studied.
The
photochemical
modeling
is
processed
using
the
current
year
inventory
and
those
results
are
used
as
a
representation
of
current
air
quality
conditions.

Next
is
the
future
year
base
inventory.
For
this
type,
an
inventory
is
developed
for
some
future
year
for
which
attainment
of
the
ozone
standard
is
needed.
For
this
modeling
project
the
future
years
will
be
2007
and
2012.
It
is
the
future
year
base
inventories
that
control
strategies
and
sensitivities
are
applied
to
determine
what
controls,
to
which
source
classifications,
must
be
made
in
order
to
attain
the
ozone
standard.

In
the
sections
that
follow,
the
base
year
inventories
used
for
each
source
classifications
are
discussed.
Emission
summaries
by
county
for
the
entire
State
are
in
Appendix
A.

5.2
Stationary
Point
Sources
Point
source
emissions
are
emissions
from
individual
sources
having
a
fixed
location.
Generally,
these
sources
must
have
permits
to
operate
and
their
emissions
are
inventoried
on
a
regular
schedule.
Large
sources
having
emissions
of
100
tons
per
year
(
tpy)
of
a
criteria
104
pollutant,
10
tpy
of
a
single
hazardous
air
pollutant
(
HAP),
or
25
tpy
total
HAP
are
inventoried
annually.
Smaller
sources
have
been
inventoried
less
frequently.
The
point
source
emissions
data
can
be
grouped
into
the
large
electric
utility
sources
and
the
other
point
sources.

5.2.1
Large
Utility
Sources
The
inventory
used
for
the
large
utility
sources
is
the
May
1999
release
of
the
NOx
SIP
call
base
year
modeling
foundation
files
obtained
from
the
USEPA
Office
of
Air
Quality
Planning
and
Standards
(
OAQPS).
The
base
year
for
this
utility
data
is
1996.
This
data
is
provided
in
EMS
95
format.
The
emissions
data
for
the
utilities
is
episode
specific
CEM
data
and
is
specific
for
each
source
for
each
hour
of
the
modeling
episode.
This
data
comes
from
the
USEPA
Acid
Rain
Division
(
ARD).
Since
only
NOx
emissions
are
measured,
the
CO
and
VOC
emissions
are
calculated
from
the
NOx
emissions
using
emission
factor
ratios
(
CO/
NOx
and
VOC/
NOx)
for
the
particular
combustion
processes
at
the
utilities.

5.2.2
Other
Point
Sources
The
inventory
used
to
model
the
other
point
sources
is
the
May
1999
release
of
the
NOx
SIP
call
base
year
modeling
foundation
files
obtained
from
the
USEPA
OAQPS.
This
data
is
based
on
1995
emissions
and
is
provided
in
EMS
95
format.
For
the
1996
and
1997
modeling
episode,
emissions
were
grown
using
Bureau
of
Economic
Analysis
(
BEA)
growth
factors.
The
North
Carolina
sources
were
an
exception.
These
emissions
are
true
1996
emissions
for
the
larger
VOC
and
NOx
sources.
In
addition,
emissions
for
forest
fires
and
prescribed
burns
are
treated
as
point
sources
and
are
episode
specific
similar
to
CEM
data.

The
emissions
summary
for
the
1996
episodes
for
the
Fayetteville
EAC
area
is
listed
in
Table
5.2­
1.
These
emissions
represent
a
typical
weekday,
Thursday's
(
June
20th),
emissions
and
are
in
tons
per
day.
In
some
instances
a
county
may
not
have
had
emissions
for
the
20th
but
did
have
emissions
during
the
modeling
episode
due
to
forest
fires
or
prescribed
burns
that
were
treated
as
point
sources.

Stationary
Area
Sources
The
base

inventory
for
the
stationary
area
sources
is
the
May
1999
release
of
the
NOx
SIP
call
base

foundation
files
obtained
from
the
USEPA
OAQPS.
This
data
is
based
on
1995
and
is
provided
in
EMS
95
format.
For
the
1996
and
1997
base
years,
the
NOx
SIP
call
foundation
files
will
be
grown
to
the
respective
year
by
use
of
Bureau
of
Economic
Analysis
(
BEA)
growth
factors
or
projected
population
growth
obtained
from
the
US
Census
Bureau.

The
exception
to
this
is
for
North
Carolina
where
a
2000
base
year
inventory
was
generated
by
NCDAQ
following
the
current
methodologies
outlined
in
the
Emissions
Inventory
Improvement

Development
Documents,
Volume
III
(
http://

was
backcasted
to
the
base
years
via
growth
factors
developed
with
EPA's
Economic
Growth
Analysis
System
(
EGAS)
version
4.0.

The
emissions
summary
for
the
1996
episodes
for
the
Fayetteville

is
listed
in
Table

Off­
Road
Mobile
Sources
The
off­
road
mobile
sources
can
be
broken
down
into
two
types
of
sources;
those
calculated
within
the
USEPA
NONROAD
mobile
model
and
those
that
are
not.
For
the
sources
that
are
calculated
within
the
NONROAD
mobile
model,
a
base
year
inventory
was
generated
for
the
entire
domain
for
each
of
the
base
years.
The
model
version
used
is
the
Draft
NONROAD2002
distributed
for
a
limited,
confidential,
and
secure
review
in
November
2002.
If
the
final
version
or
any
newer
draft
versions
of
this
model
is
released
by
the
USEPA,
an
assessment
of
the
difference
in
the
emission
estimations
will
be
made
to
determine
if
a
new
inventory
must
be
generated
and
processed
through
the
photochemical
model.

The
sources
not
calculated
within
the
NONROAD
model
include
aircraft
engines,
railroad
locomotives
and
commercial
marine
vessels.
The
base
year
inventory
for
these
sources
was
the
May
1999
release
of
the
NOx
SIP
call
base
year
modeling
foundation
files
obtained
from
the
USEPA
OAQPS.
This
data
is
based
on
1995
and
is
provided
in
EMS
95
format.
For
the
1996
and
1997
base
years,
the
NOx
SIP
call
foundation
files
were
grown
to
the
respective
year
by
use
of
Bureau
of
Economic
Analysis
(
BEA)
growth
factors.

The
exception
to
this
was
for
North
Carolina
where
a
1995
base
year
inventory
was
generated
by
NCDAQ
for
aircraft
engines
and
railroad
locomotives.
This
data
was
then
grown
to
the
other
base
years
via
BEA
growth
factors
or
other
State
specific
data.

The
emissions
summary
for
the
1996
episodes
for
the
Fayetteville
EAC
area
is
listed
in
Table
5.4­

These

represent
a

and
are
in

Mobile
Sources
In
order
to
accurately
model
the
mobile
source
emissions
in
the
EAC
areas,
the
newest
version
of
the
MOBILE
model,
MOBILE6.2,
was
used.
This
model
was
released
by
EPA
in
2002
and
differs
significantly
from
previous
versions
of
the
model.
Key
inputs
for
MOBILE
include
information
on
the
age
of
vehicles
on
the
roads,
the
speed
of
those
vehicles,
what
types
of
road
those
vehicles
are
traveling
on,
any
control
technologies
in
place
in
an
area
to
reduce
emissions
for
motor
vehicles
(
e.
g.,
emissions
inspection
programs),
and
temperature.
Baseline
estimates
were
created
for
the
episode
June
19
 
July
1,
1996.

5.5.1
Speed
Assumptions
Emissions
from
motor
vehicles
vary
with
the
manner
in
which
the
vehicle
is
operated.
Vehicles
traveling
at
65
mph
emit
a
very
different
mix
of
pollutants
than
the
car
that
is
idling
at
a
stoplight.
In
order
to
estimate
emissions
from
vehicles
for
a
typical
day,
North
Carolina
Department
of
Transportation
(
NCDOT)
provided
speeds
for
each
of
the
urban
areas
across
the
state
and
in
some
cases
for
different
times
of
the
day.
To
reflect
the
most
current
assumptions
on
the
speed
of
vehicles
in
different
areas
across
the
state,
the
latest
conformity
report
was
used
which
reflected
speeds
developed
through
travel
demand
modeling
for
the
urban
areas.
Separate
speed
profiles
were
created
for
Wake
County
(
covering
Durham
and
Orange
Counties)
Greensboro,
Winston­
Salem,
Mecklenburg
County
(
covering
Gaston
County),
and
"
rest
of
state".
In
Wake,
Durham,
Orange,
Mecklenburg
and
Gaston
Counties,
a
profile
was
created
based
on
a
morning
traffic
peak,
an
afternoon
traffic
peak,
and
an
offpeak
for
the
remainder
of
the
day.
In
Wake,
Durham,
and
Orange
Counties
the
morning
peak
covered
the
period
from
6
am
 
10
am,
and
the
afternoon
peak
from
4
pm
 
8
pm.
In
Mecklenburg
and
Gaston
Counties
the
morning
peak
covered
the
period
from
6
am
 
9
am,
and
the
afternoon
peak
covered
the
period
from
4
pm
 
7
pm.
These
assumptions
were
provided
by
the
Metropolitan
Planning
Organizations
(
MPOs)
in
each
of
the
areas.
For
the
rest
of
the
state,
NCDAQ
chose
to
use
the
Wake
County
speed
profile
developed
in
1998.
This
was
assumed
to
be
a
conservative
estimate
of
speeds
in
areas
that
do
not
have
a
travel
demand
model.

Table
5.5­
1
provides
a
summary
of
the
speeds
used

5.5.2
Vehicle
Age
Distribution
The
vehicle
age
distribution
comes
from
annual
registration
data
from
the
NCDOT.
NCDOT
has
provided
registration
data
specific
to
the
area.
For
this
analysis,
the
data
was
from
2000.
NCDOT
provides
the
data
by
vehicle
type;
however,
these
types
do
not
match
the
EPA
MOBILE
types.
Therefore,
the
data
is
manipulated
to
match
the
input
requirements
as
follows:

 
NCDOT
provides
at
least
25
years
for
all
vehicle
types,
however
MOBILE5
only
recognizes
12
years
for
motorcycles.
Therefore,
the
first
13
years
are
combined
into
one
number.
 
If
more
than
25
years
are
provided,
the
early
years
are
combined
and
included
in
the
25th
model
year.
 
NCDOT
does
record
model
years
beyond
the
year
of
the
report,
for
this
set
of
data,
2001
model
year
was
added
to
the
2000
model
year
information.
 
The
same
registration
distribution
by
age
must
be
entered
for
Light
Duty
Gasoline
Vehicles
(
LDGV),
Light
Duty
Diesel
Vehicles
(
LDDV),
and
for
Light
Duty
Gasoline
Trucks
1
and
2
(
LDGT1
and
LDGT2)
according
to
the
MOBILE5
User's
Guide.

Then
using
the
MOBILE6.2
utility
provided
by
EPA
the
vehicle
types
were
distributed
across
the
16
types
in
MOBILE6.2.
A
separate
age
distribution
was
created
for
each
of
the
urban
areas
and
for
the
rest
of
the
state
(
see
Appendix
B).

5.5.3
Vehicle
Mix
Assumptions
For
all
of
North
Carolina,
vehicle
mix
has
incorporated
the
increase
in
sales
of
sport
utility
vehicles
and
minivans
for
all
years
of
evaluation.

To
calculate
the
vehicle
mix
to
account
for
the
large
percentage
of
sport
utility
vehicles
and
minivans
being
purchased,
NCDAQ
used
the
following
documentation
from
EPA:
Fleet
Characterization
Data
for
MOBILE6:
Development
and
Use
of
Age
Distributions,
Average
Annual
Mileage
Accumulation
Rates,
and
Projected
Vehicle
Counts
for
Use
in
MOBILE6
(
EPA420­
P­
99­
011).
This
document
includes
a
breakdown
by
year
from
1983
to
2050
of
the
number
of
light
duty
vehicles
(
according
to
MOBILE6
five
vehicle
types)
on
the
roads
on
a
national
basis.
NCDAQ
used
this
data
and
combined
vehicle
types
to
reflect
the
three
110
MOBILE5
light
duty
vehicle
types.
These
calculated
values
for
LDGT1
and
LDGT2
are
used
for
all
road
types.
No
changes
were
made
to
this
file
for
this
modeling
effort
because
of
the
way
in
which
the
SMOKE
model
has
incorporated
MOBILE6.2.

5.5.5
Vehicle
Inspection
and
Maintenance
Program
Assumptions
In
the
early
1990'
s,
North
Carolina
adopted
emissions
inspection
requirements
for
vehicles
in
9
urban
counties.
This
program
tests
emissions
at
idle
for
1975
and
newer
gasoline
powered
light
duty
vehicles.
The
program
is
a
basic,
decentralized
tailpipe
test
for
Hydrocarbon
(
HC)
and
CO
only.
The
waiver
rates
are
consistent
with
the
SIP.
However,
the
compliance
rates
have
been
changed
to
more
accurately
reflect
what
is
happening
at
the
stations.
Compliance
rates
have
been
changed
from
98
percent
in
the
SIP
to
95
percent.
In
addition,
the
inspection
stations
are
required
to
administer
an
anti­
tampering
check
to
ensure
that
emissions
control
equipment
on
any
vehicle
1968
and
newer
has
not
been
altered.
111
5.5.6
RVP
Assumptions
Reid
vapor
pressure
(
RVP)
reflects
a
gasoline's
volatility,
so
as
a
control
measure
North
Carolina
has
adopted
the
Phase
II
RVP
of
7.8
psi
in
the
1­
hour
ozone
maintenance
counties.

The
emissions
summary
for
the
1996
episodes
for
the
Fayetteville
EAC
area
is
listed
in
Table
5.5­
4.
These
emissions
represent
a
typical
weekday,
Thursday's
(
June
20th),
are
in
tons
per
day.

Biogenic
Emission
Sources
Biogenic
emissions
will
be
prepared
with
the
SMOKE­
BEIS3
(
Biogenic
Emission
Inventory
System
version3)
preprocessor.
SMOKE­
BEIS3
is
basically
the
Urban
Airshed
Model
(
UAM)­
BEIS3
model
but
also
includes
modifications
to
use
Meteorological
Model
version
5
(
MM5)
data,
gridded
land
use
data,
and
one
important
science
update.
The
emission
factors
that
are
used
in
SMOKE­
BEIS3
are
the
same
as
the
emission
factors
in
UAM­
BEIS3.

The
emission
rates
within
SMOKE­
BEIS3
are
adjusted
for
environmental
conditions
prevailing
during
the
episode
days
with
meteorological
data
supplied
by
the
MM5
model.
The
gridded
data
used
from
MM5
include
the
estimated
temperature
at
10
meters
above
the
surface
and
short­
wave
radiation
reaching
the
surface.
Ten
meters
temperatures
will
be
used
instead
of
the
ground
temperatures
because
it
is
believed
that
10
meters
above
the
surface
is
a
good
approximation
of
the
average
canopy
height.
The
use
of
10
meters
temperatures
was
discussed
with
and
approved
by
the
USEPA
Office
of
Research
and
Development
(
ORD).

The
gridded
land
use
data
has
been
obtained
from
Alpine
Geophysics
at
the
4­
km
resolution
for
the
entire
domain.
The
basis
for
the
gridded
data
is
the
county
land
use
data
in
the
Biogenic
Emissions
Landcover
Database
version
3
(
BELD3)
provided
by
the
USEPA.
A
separate
land
classification
scheme,
based
upon
satellite
(
AVHRR,
1
km
spatial
resolution)
and
census
information,
aided
in
defining
the
forest,
agriculture
and
urban
portions
of
each
county.
The
12­
km
and
36­
km
domains
will
be
created
by
aggregating
the
4­
km
resolution
data
up
to
the
respective
grid
sizes.

The
emissions
summary
for
the
1996
episodes
for
the
Fayetteville
EAC
area
is
listed
in
Table
5.6­

MODELING
STATUS
6.1
Status
of
Current
Modeling
NCDAQ
realized
that
the
May
31,
2003
date
for
completing
the
base
case
model
evaluation
was
not
realistic
due
to
the
issues
described
in
Section
6.2
below.
Sheila
Holman
sent
a
letter
to
Kay
Prince
requesting
an
adjustment
to
the
modeling
schedule
due
to
these
issues.
Ms.
Holman's
letter
and
Ms.
Prince's
response
are
included
in
Appendix
C.
NCDAQ
continues
to
believe
that
completing
the
four
2007
base
year
modeling
runs
is
achievable
by
August
29,
2003.

6.2
Issues
Being
Encountered
There
have
been
a
number
of
issues
encountered
during
this
modeling
effort.
The
first
was
the
integration
of
MOBILE6.2
into
SMOKE.
It
is
a
requirement
of
the
EAC
that
MOBILE6.2
be
used
to
estimate
the
mobile
emissions
and
if
transportation
conformity
is
ever
needed
in
the
EAC
areas,
it
will
be
based
on
the
emission
estimates
from
this
modeling
effort.
It
took
much
longer
than
anticipated
to
get
the
integration
completed.

Another
issue
was
porting
SMOKEv1.5
to
the
NCDAQ
HP
UNIX
workstation.
Compiling
on
the
HP
was
not
very
straight
forward
and
actually
turned
up
some
errors
in
the
SMOKEv1.5
code.
It
took
several
weeks
before
the
code
was
completely
compiled
and
tested
on
the
HP
workstation
and
was
ready
for
the
NCDAQ
emissions
staff
to
use.

The
next
issue
encountered
dealt
with
the
installation
and
use
of
MIMS.
MIMS
is
a
gui
interface
that
aids
the
user
in
choosing
the
files
that
will
be
used
in
SMOKE
to
process
the
emissions.
Since
most
of
the
NCDAQ
emissions
staff
is
not
very
familiar
with
the
UNIX
environment,
it
was
believed
that
the
MIMS
interface
would
aid
in
processing
the
emissions.
NCDAQ
was
never
able
to
get
MIMS
to
work
on
their
system
and
therefore
had
to
use
scripts
to
process
the
emissions.

Another
issue
was
the
discovery
of
errors
in
the
mobile
and
point
source
emissions
during
the
quality
assurance
(
QA)
of
the
emissions
data.
For
the
mobile
inventory,
VMT
was
inadvertently
left
off
for
two
of
the
urban
counties,
Guilford
and
Forsyth
Counties.
For
the
point
source
inventory,
it
was
discovered
that
stack
data
for
some
of
the
utilities
did
not
read
in
correctly
and
default
stack
parameters
were
used.
This
would
result
in
the
emissions
being
dumped
into
the
lower
layer
of
the
model.
These
errors
resulted
in
the
emissions
having
to
be
reprocessed
through
SMOKE
and
re­
merged
with
the
other
data.

6.3
Geographic
Area
Needing
Further
Controls
At
this
point
in
the
project,
NCDAQ
is
unable
to
identify
the
geographic
area
that
will
need
controls
beyond
what
is
already
in
North
Carolina's
rules.
The
controls
that
will
be
included
113
in
the
base
2007
emissions
inventory
are
the
NOx
SIP
Call,
a
NOx
Inspection
and
Maintenance
(
I/
M)
program
that
will
cover
48
counties
in
North
Carolina
and
the
North
Carolina
Clean
Smokestacks
Act
that
requires
year­
round
controls
on
the
major
utilities
in
North
Carolina.

By
the
December
2003
Progress
Report,
NCDAQ
should
be
able
to
provide
modeling
results
that
show
where
additional
controls
are
needed
over
what
geographic
area.

6.4
Anticipated
Resource
Constraints
The
resource
constraint
of
most
concern
is
the
funding
needed
to
implement
some
of
the
local
control
measures.
NCDAQ
and
the
local
EAC
areas
are
both
looking
for
grant
opportunities
to
help
fund
EAC
initiatives.
