                     USER'S MANUAL FOR THE BLIS BBS

                              Part 1 - Introduction
      Welcome to the BACT/LAER Information System (BLIS)! BLIS is a product of the
RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse (RBLC). EPA established the RACT/BACT/LAER
Clearinghouse to assist State and local air pollution control personnel in making control
technology determinations and in sharing technology information.  This user's manual
describes the purpose and function of BLIS.

      The basic purposes of the RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse are:

      •     To  provide  State  and local  agencies  with current control technology
            determinations.

      •     To summarize recent determinations for sources of similar size and nature.

      •     To provide data on the specific emission limits imposed on existing, new, or
            modified sources across the country.

By presenting a representative sample of control determinations, the Clearinghouse should
serve as a reference or a starting point for State and local agencies when making RACT,
BACT, or LAER determinations.

      Initially, the RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse was a manual system, and EPA
Regional Offices and State and local agencies submitted summaries of their determinations
to the Control Programs Development Division (CPDD). The CPDD then categorized the
determination by source type or category and compiled and duplicated the determinations
for periodic transmittal to the State  and local agencies.

      Discussions with State and  local agency personnel, EPA Regional staff,  and
representatives of the Association of Local Air Pollution Control Officials (ALAPCO) and
the State and Territorial Air Pollution Program Administrators (STAPPA) resulted in the
design of an automated system to provide up-to-date information regarding RACT, BACT,
and  LAER determinations.   In accordance with this  automated system design, the
RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse Information System (BLIS) was created. BLIS is a
data  base system that performs the following three functions:

      •     Allows rapid updating  of RACT/BACT/LAER determinations.

      •     Allows rapid production of RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse reports.


                                     1-1

       •      Allows EPA Regional Offices and State and local agency representatives to
             have more direct computer access to the data in the RACT/BACT/LAER
             Clearinghouse.

Regulatory Basis

       The Clean Air Act (CAA) of 1970 gave the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) the responsibility and authority to control air pollution in the United States and its
territories. One of the responsibilities given to EPA under Section 108 of the CAA is to
publish information on air pollution control techniques. This information includes data on
available technology and methods for prevention and control of air pollution.

       One of the goals of the CAA is regulation by States of their own sources of air
pollution. Section 110 of the CAA requires each State to adopt and submit to EPA a State
Implementation Plan (SIP) for attaining and maintaining the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) in all regions of the State. Each State, therefore, must decide which
existing emission sources should be controlled and to what extent.  Quite often this control
for existing sources represents Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT).

       Section 111 of the CAA gives EPA the authority to establish performance standards
for various emissions sources at a national level. These New Source Performance Standards
(NSPS) apply to both new and modified sources; they must reflect the degree of emission
reduction achievable through the application of the best system  of continuous emission
reduction as determined by the EPA Administrator.  NSPS takes into consideration the cost
of achieving such emission reduction, any non-air quality, health, and environmental impacts,
and energy requirements.

       The Clean Air  Act Amendments  of 1977 added to  EPA's  authority and
responsibilities. The Amendments required that certain control technologies be  imposed
by the States.  Section 165 allows no construction of major stationary sources  in an area
subject to the Prevention of Significant Air Quality Deterioration (PSD) requirements unless
the source uses Best Available Control  Technology (BACT). For these sources, BACT
applies for each pollutant subject to regulation under the CAA. BACT applies to emissions
resulting from any major source that the permitting authority determines (on a case-by-case
basis)  can achieve the limitation.  The BACT limit takes  energy,  environmental, and
economic impacts, as well as other costs, into account NSPS is; the baseline for BACT; in
no event shall the application of BACT result in emissions of any pollutants in excess of the
emissions allowed by any applicable NSPS.

       Section 172 states that each SIP for an area that does not currently attain NAAQS
must require, among other things, permits for the construction and operation of new or
modified stationary sources. Before a permit to construct may be issued, the proposed new
source must comply with the Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER). LAER refers to
the emission rate that reflects the most stringent emission limitation contained  in any SIP

for a  source  category (unless  the  source demonstrates  that such limitations are not
achievable) or the most stringent emission limitation achieved by a source in the source
category, whichever is more stringent LAER does not take economic factors into account.
LAER should never  be less stringent than the emission limit stipulated in an applicable
NSPS  for the source  category.

       Although the  specific criteria governing RACT, BACT, LAER, or NSPS vary, the
general underlying approach is to require "best control11  on  all  major  existing, new, or
modified sources. The complexity and number of new source review (NSR) decisions has
increased over the past several years, and more State and local programs  are accepting the
complete  responsibility for issuing PSD and nonattainment permits. Thus, it is extremely
important that information be available to assist control agencies in making the necessary
control technology determinations in a nationally consistent manner. The Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990 made submittal of LAER to the RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse
Information System mandatory.

The BLIS Bulletin Board System

       From 1986 to  1992, BUS was housed on the National Computer Center's IBM 3090
computer and used the System 2000 Software. In 1991 in response to a planned phase-out
of System 2000, EPA began the task  of choosing a new  system to house BLJS.  After
reviewing various options,  (including  mainframe,  PC-based bulletin board,  and hybrid
options) EPA chose  to move BLJS to a PC-based bulletin board system (BBS).  Since
October 1992, BUS has been part of the Technology Transfer Network.  The BUS BBS
uses "tbbs" for its bulletin  board software and "tdbs" for its data base software.  The system
is written  primarily in "tdbs" or a dBase-based language.

BUS Features

       Coinciding with the move of BUS to a BBS is an upgrade of BUS. The BUS BBS
includes two different search processes. In the first process, a menu-driven search, users
respond to a series of questions in order to design a search  and view the results on screen.
The second process, a more advanced search, is designed for the more sophisticated BUS
user. Users of the advanced search can design a search, recall and reselect subsets, and edit
the search criteria on one screen.

       Users of BUS can view the results of a search on screen and download the results
to their PCs.  While  viewing determinations on screen, users  can remove any unwanted
determinations from  their download set.  As users view information on  screen, they will
notice that the BUS BBS contains many fields which provide valuable information to permit
writers. The view process also allows users to select the  specific facilities, processes, and
pollutants which they would like to see; users no longer have to scroll through the entire set
of selected determinations.
                                       1-3

-------
       The third noticeable BUS feature is the User Edit and Update. Before development
of the BLIS BBS, only EPA Headquarters staff could add RACT, BACT, or LAER
determinations to BUS. With the BUS BBS, designated users now have the opportunity
to input their agency's determinations directly. Each agency's designated users with update
responsibility must obtain update authority and use a BUS password in order to take
advantage of this feature.

    s   These features, as well as other features planned for future development, are all
explained in this manual.  The manual is organized in a three-ring binder to allow for easy
addition of information as new features are developed.

Gainin Access   BQ
      To access  the  BUS BBS you will need a PC, a modem  and phone line, and
communications software.  Additionally, you will need to register for the TIN.  In order to
register for the TIN, follow these steps:

             Call (919) 541-5742 at 1200, 2400, or 9600 baud.

      •      Set communication parameters to 8 data bits, a parity of N, and  1 stop bit.

      •      Go through the automated  registration process and you will be a registered
             user.

See Appendix E for more information on the TIN.

      If you are the agency's designated user with update responsibility, you will also need
a BUS password.  To receive a BUS password, call EPA at (919) 541-2736; the EPA staff
person will assign you a BUS password  as well as your security clearance for inputting
determinations.

                      USER'S MANUAL FOR THE BLIS BBS

                           Part 2 — Information in BLJS

      The primary product  of the RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse is  a  report of
information that has been obtained from RACT, BACT, and LAER determinations made
by various pollution control agencies. The report contains information on process types, the
facility that applied for the construction permit, the basis for the limit (RACT, BACT, or
LAER), pertinent source operating parameters such as capacity, pollutant emission rates,
control technology, control agency contacts, and scheduling data.

Organization of BLIS Data

      BLIS maintains information on a variety of data elements.  This information is
separated into three main categories: facility data, process data, and pollutant data.  The
data are organized so that each facility determination may have multiple processes and each
process may emit multiple pollutants. Each facility has at least one process and at least one
pollutant. The information that EPA maintains in BLJS on each of the three levels (facility,
process, and pollutant) is listed below. Together these files make up the primary BLJS data
base.  See Table 2.1 (beginning p. 2-6) for the format for each field mentioned below.

1.     Facility Information

      •     FACILITY  NUMBER:   A  unique  number  given to  each  BLJS
            determination by BLJS. This numeric field is used only by the BLJS
            staff for tracking purposes and does not appear on-screen.

      •     BLJS LD:  The  unique identification number assigned to each BLJS
            determination by EPA staff.   The  number  consists of the state
            abbreviation  and a four digit number,  i.e. AK-0001  is  the  first
            determination entered from Alaska.   A suffix may exist  for old
            determinations for clarification.

      •     COMPANY ADDRESS INFORMATION: The actual location of the facility
            including company (facility) name, street address, city, county, State,
            zip code, and EPA Region.

      •     STATUS OF THE FACILITY:  A one-letter field describing whether the
            permit is for a new or modified source.
                                      2-1

-------
PERMIT NUMBER:  A number which the permit issuing agency assigns
the permit.  If the permit is issued by the EPA Regional office, this
number would be entered in the Region file number.

AGENCY INFORMATION: Four fields which provide information on the
issuing agency.  The first field is the agency name  (automatically
assigned based on the agency code); the second is the agency code (see
Appendix A).  The third and fourth fields provide a name and phone
number  for permitting personnel  to  use  if they have  questions
regarding the determination.

NOTES:  This field  allows the BUS  user to include explanatory
information about the determination which he or she enters into BLIS.

LAST UPDATE: A field which allows BLIS users to see when the last
changes were made to each determination.

DETERMINATION  ENTRY/COMPLETE   DATE:    Date   that  the
determination was first entered into the BLIS permanent data base.

ADDITIONAL IDs: Other ID numbers which can be found at this level
when applicable are the EPA ID, the AIRS ID, and the SIC code.

SCHEDULING INFORMATION:  Permitting scheduling dates stored  in
BUS are:

      date application is received
      control technology determination complete (estimated and actual)
      air quality analysis complete (estimated and actual)
      other impact analysis complete (estimated and actual)
      draft permit issued (estimated and actual)
      public notice (estimated and actual)
      final permit issued (estimated and actual)
      start construction (estimated and actual)
      start-up date (estimated and actual)

BUS also includes a logical field with information on whether the
permitting agency held a public hearing.
                          2-2

-------
2.    Process Information

      •      PROCESS  NUMBER:    A  unique number  given  to  each  BLIS
             determination process by BUS.  This numeric field is used only by the
             BLIS staff for tracking purposes and does not appear on-screen.

      •      PROCESS TYPE CODE: A code assigned to each process (see Appendix
             B) used to categorize determinations.

      •      PROCESS DESCRIPTION: The name of the process which describes the
             process listed (examples in Appendix B).

      •      THROUGHPUT CAPACITY AND  UNITS:  For each process listed in a
             determination, BLIS  contains information of the throughput capacity
             of the process unit, i.e. boiler size is often specified using a throughput
             capacity measured in MMBTU per hour.

      •      STANDARD BOILER SIZE: This field is used to compare boiler sizes in
             BUS. All boiler sizes are converted to MMBTU per hour and entered
             into this field.  A size of 999,999 MMBTU per hour is used if the
             boiler size could not be converted or is unknown.

      •      SCC CODE: This code is the standard source classification for processes used
             throughout the Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) at EPA.

      •      COMPLIANCE VERIFICATION:   This series of fields allows  users to
             enter a yes or no response to the following questions:

             *     Compliance verified?
             *     Method of confirmation
                        Stack testing?

listed in the permit.

ALTERNATE EMISSION LIMIT AND UNITS:  If provided on the permit,
these numbers represent any alternate emission measurements which
the facility may make.

BLJS STANDARDIZED LIMIT AND UNITS: This limit allows comparison
with other  similar determinations in BLJS.   If standard units are
provided for the process type  in which the user is  searching  (see
Appendix C), BUS users  can  compare the entries in  this field to
determine the most stringent limits.

BASE-LINE EMISSION RATE AND UNITS: A base-line figure provided
by the permit issuing  agency.   This figure can be used to calculate
percent efficiency.

BASIS FOR  LIMIT: The statutory basis  for the pollutant limit.  The
choices which may be entered into BLJS are:

*     BACT-PSD - Prevention of Significant Deterioration
*     BACT-OTHER - Other BACT (ie. T-BACT, Toxks-BACT,
      etc.)
*     Lowest Available Control Technology (LAER)
*     Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT)
*     Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT)
*     Generally Available Control Technology (GACT)
*     New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)
*     National  Emission  Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
      (NESHAP)

fields which provide specific information on the control equipment

PROCESS MODIFICATION:  Any required process  modification or
management practice designed to decrease pollutant emissions.
                         2-4

-------
       •     TYPE OF EMISSION CONTROLLED:  A one-character field indicating
             whether the emission is fugitive, point-source, or area-source.

       •     OVERALL EFFICIENCY:   The design efficiency  expected from a
             particular type of control equipment or method.   This figure is
             expressed as a percentage.

       •     CALCULATED EFFICIENCY: The efficiency of control calculated using
             the base-line emission rate and the emissions limit.

       •     CAS  NUMBER:   The Chemical Abstract  Service number  which
             represents each individual pollutant in the determination.

       •     CONTROL TECHNOLOGY RANKING DATA:  The ranking of the control
             technology  chosen, when ranked according  to the level of control.
             Information includes the number of options considered and the rank
             of the option selected.

       •     COST DATA: Control costs contained in BUS include:

             *     Capital cost of control equipment
             *     Annual operation and maintenance cost of control equipment
             *     Annualized cost
             *     Cost effectiveness in dollars per ton
             *     Cost verified by the permitting agency (yes or no)
             *     Year of the dollar used in cost calculations

The BUS Data Bases

       The BLIS BBS stores  determinations in three separate data bases.  The permanent
data  base  contains  the  last  five years' completed  BUS determinations.   These
determinations have been reviewed by BUS staff to ensure that the data are complete and
correct The second data base is the transient data base.  The transient data base provides
a  work space  for  users to  enter  and update determinations.   Transient  data  base
determinations could include  determinations for permits which are not yet issued (still in
the review stages), determinations which have necessary information for BUS still missing,
or determinations which have not been verified for corrections and completion by the BUS
staff. The third data base is  the historical data base. The historical data base contains
completed BUS determinations which are more than five years old. Data organization for
all three data bases is the same.

      Additional data scheduled to be maintained in BUS are data on Federal and State
regulations.  BUS will have a separate data base for this information; this data base will be
implemented on-line at a later date.

                             USER'S MANUAL FOR THE BLIS BBS

                              Part 3 - Conducting a Search in BLIS
              When you enter BLIS you may choose to Query or Edit.  This section of the BLIS
        User's Manual describes the Query option. Upon selection of Query from the Main menu,
        you must choose which of the BLIS data bases you wish to query. The choices are:  the
        BOS main data base (permanent), the BLIS transient data base, the BLIS historical data
        base, and the Federal/State Regulations data base. Please note that all of the data bases
        may not be available at this time. Throughout BLIS any menu option that is not available
        will be low-lighted on the screen (you will notice this lowlighting in the manual also). You
        must remember to press the Enter key after each menu response.  Figures 3.1 and 3.2
        represent the BLIS Main menu and the data base selection menu, described above.

              It is also important to note that BLJS has an enhanced  HELP  system which will
        provide assistance at any point during a search. Simply by pressing Fl, you will access the
        HELP system which explains the screen at which you are currently looking. HELP is also
        context-sensitive; users will not have to scroll through long lists of inappropriate values in
        order to find the one appropriate to them.

              Once a valid data base has been selected for Query, you will proceed to the BLIS
        Query Menu. Users of BUS have two options when conducting a search in the BUS BBS.
        You may choose the Standard Query option, a menu-driven search, or the Advanced Query
        option which provides the more sophisticated user with a flexible search procedure. Both
        search options provide the ability to specify more than one criterion per search.

              The Query Menu (as it  appears when the user first enters BLIS) is displayed in
        Figure 33.

              When a search is performed, BLIS creates a subset of the data base. This subset is
        then available to view, to download, or to further reduce by creating a subsequent subset.
        A maximum of three subsets may be created during any search. Each subset is specified by
        a search criteria list. The search criteria list is composed of one to three separate search
        criteria. The three criteria are joined by a connector - 'and' or 'or'.  One criteria list may
        onfy utilize one connector.
        For example: You may specify a subset by:

              Search field       Operator

              STATE
              PROCESS        CONTAINS
              PROCESS CODE  <

        but you may not specify a subset by:

              STATE
              PROCESS        CONTAINS
              PROCESS CODE  <

        In order to perform the previous search, you would first create a subset using

              STATE           =                CA,

        then you would reduce the subset (creating a second subset) using

                                                           OR

              Following selection of a search field (data element), BLIS will prompt you for an
        appropriate operator. Operator values are: contains ($) (for word searches), equal to (=),
        less than (<), greater than (>), less than or equal to (< =), greater than or equal to (> =),
        or not equal to (<>).  BUS will validate the operator which you have chosen and then
        prompt you for a value. BUS  aids you in  selecting an operator by highlighting valid
        operator options. You also may learn which values are appropriate for each search field
                                           3-4

-------
        by pressing Fl (HELP) or by reading Appendix E of the BOS Users Manual. The Operator
        Selection Menu and the Values Entry screen are displayed in Figures 3.5 and 3.6.

              Any of the operators can be used with text fields, as well as date and numeric fields.
        By using the operator" >" with a text field, you will be searching for any name which follows
        alphabetically.   For example, by choosing "POLLUTANT  >  SO2," you will retrieve
        pollutants which include sulfuric acid, TRS (total reduced sulfur), and VOC (volatile organic
        compounds). If you selects "=" as an operator, BLJS will retrieve any determination in
        which the field begins with the selected value. For example, by choosing "FACILITY NAME
        = THE PA," you will get a subset which includes "THE PAPER CUP FACTORY," THE
        PA  ELECTRIC  PROJECT," and "THE PASTRY SHOP," but not "PASTEURIZATION
        INC."

              As you develop your search criteria, the data element, operator, and value will be
        printed on the screen. This listing should help to familiarize you with the various elements
        and operators and will hopefully aid you in the transition to advanced BLJS.

        criterion, search the data base, or respecify the entire criteria list (see Figure 3.7). To add
        another search criterion, you must select the connector to be used between criterion (see

               If you choose to search the data base, BLIS will perform the search and create a
         subset. For example, you may create a search criterion such as:

               Search field        Operator           Value

               Process code          > =             70.001

         This search criterion will direct BLIS to subset all determinations containing a process code
         greater than or equal to 70.001. In order to reduce search times, you should try to reduce
         the subset as much as possible. By including several search criteria in a list, you will create
         a smaller subset and, thus, reduce search time.

               Following the creation of each search criteria list, BLIS will search the data base and
         present the results of the search. BUS will present on screen the number of determinations,
         processes, and pollutants which matched the search criteria list (see Figure 3.8).

         must first reactivate the preceding subset by selecting Reactivate Subset from the Query
         Menu, selecting the preceding subset and repeating the previous steps to respecify the new
         subset's search criteria list. Following the search, any previous subsets will remain the same;

        The Advanced Query

              The Advanced Query is similar to the Standard Query in several ways.  The search
        criteria lists have the same structure as the lists in the Standard Query.  Searchable fields
        are also identical. The main differences between the Standard Query and the Advanced
        Query are the way in which search criteria lists are built and the flexibility to edit a criteria
        list which is provided by the Advanced Query.

              Advanced Query allows you to build each criteria list on one screen. You are not
        prompted repeatedly for information. Figure 3.12 displays the screen which the Advanced
        Query user encounters. In order to create a subset using the Advanced Query, you would
        first enter  to create a criteria list. Once you have entered all criteria, you should
        enter    to save the criteria list.  These steps are demonstrated in Figures 3.12
        and 3.13.

      Following the creation of a search criteria list, you must choose to search the data
base to create a subset and continue your search (see Figures 3.15 and 3.16). However, you
may select to edit the existing criteria list before searching.  If, after the creation of the
criteria list, you decide the list is not correct, you may select  to edit the criteria list
before you perform the search.  The editing process may only be done using the Advanced
Search menus. Once the search is performed and the results are displayed, you may choose
to create a new search criteria list (this option would be used to further reduce the current
subset), edit the existing criteria list (to rebuild the current subset), scroll through previous
criteria lists (this automatically reactivates previous subsets) or exit to the Query Menu in
order to View or Download the subset.

         subset by searching the data base again.

               Editing the existing  search criteria list is  one of the features that separates the
         Advanced Query from the Standard Query.  Following a search, you may choose to recall
         and edit any one of the three search criteria lists by using   to scroll up or
           to scroll down.  All previous subsets will remain the same, but all subsets
         following the edited criteria list will be replaced by new subsets.  For example, you create
         three subsets (and three corresponding criteria lists), 1, 2, and 3. Following the creation of
         the third subset, you decide that  you  must rebuild subset 2 in  order to  gather the
         information you needs. The Advanced Query user can perform this function in two ways.
         From  the Advanced Query screen, you may simply scroll up () or down
         ( ) to criteria list 2 and edit it; or you may return to the Query Menu, select
         < Reactivate Subset >, and reactivate subset 2. Upon reselection of Advanced Query, BLIS
         presents you with the original criteria list for subset 2, which you may now edit. Once the
         editing is done, you must select to search the data base.  Subset 1 will remain the same; Subset
         2 will reflect the editing changes, and BLIS will delete the original subset 3 (see Figure
         3.17).

         Viewing a Subset

                After you choose the View option, ELLS presents a list of facilities in the current
         subset (Figure 3.18).   You must choose a  facility; a listing of processes for the  facility
         follows. The process list (Figure 3.19) allows you to either view the facility level information
         (see Figure  3.20), or choose a process.  Each process which met the selection criteria will
         be marked with an '*' in the process listing. If you chooses to view the facility level data,
         you may then choose to remove this particular facility from your download set (Figures 3.21
         and  3.22).  If you exercise  this option, BLIS will remove the marked facility  before
         downloading the set to the your computer.   A facility  may  only be removed from
         downloading from the View Facility screen.

                      USER'S MANUAL FOR THE BLIS BBS

                   Part 4 — Downloading Information to Your PC

       BLIS allows you to download selected data to the your PC.  Note that if the main
data base is the current selected data file, the Download Subset option produces an error
message stating that you must create a valid subset at least once in order to download. You
may download a maximum of 50 determinations at one time.

       BLIS allows you to select the format of the downloaded data. The available format
options for downloading data are free format (all data elements, with data field names),
Lotus  or dBASE ready format (most data elements in a  data base ready for dBase or
translation into Lotus), and the following standard report formats:

       •      Appendix F:  A summary listing, in alphabetical order by facility name, which
             includes the following information:  facility name, year of the compilation in
             which the determination appears, BLIS ID number and suffix, process code
             number, date of permit issuance, process name.

       •      Appendix G: A summary listing, in order of process code, which includes the
             following information: facility name, year of the compilation in which the
             determination appears, BLIS ID number and  suffix, date of permit issuance,
             agency name, agency contact name, agency telephone number.

       •      Appendix H:   A detailed listing of all new  and  revised individual source
             information

       •      Scheduling report: A detailed listing of the scheduling data stored in BLIS.
             This data allows pollution control officials to track the progress  of RACT,
             BACT, and LAER determinations.

       After you choose the Download Subset option from the Query Menu, BOS presents
you with a list of the  available formats for downloading and an option to return to  the
Query  Menu (Figure 4.1).  For an example of each downloading format, see Appendix G.

       A statistical analysis reports will be available from BUS in the future.

               Once you have selected the amount of data to download, the program will process
         the subset sequentially.  First, a facility record is read and formatted as specified. The
         record is written to a file for downloading during the format process.  After the facility
         information is formatted, the program loops through all process records for the facility
         (described below) and reads the next selected facility record. When all the facilities have
         been written to the download file, the program returns to the Query Menu.

               If you have selected to download all processes, or if the selection criteria only
         specified information at the facility level, the program reads a process record based  on
         Facility number. Otherwise the program reads a process record based on the subset of data
         specified.  The process  information is then formatted and written to the download file if
         appropriate. Following the formatting of the process data,  the program loops through  all
         pollutants for the process (described in the following paragraph).  Then the next selected
         process record is read. When all the processes for the current facility have been read and
         formatted, the program reads the next selected facility and  continues processing.

               If you have selected to download  all pollutants, or if the selection criteria only
         specified information at the facility or process level, the program reads the pollutant record
         based on the Facility number and Process number.  If only pollutants specified in the search
         criteria are to be downloaded, the program reads the pollutant record based on the subset
         of data selected. The pollutant information is then formatted and written to the download
         file.  When all the pollutants for the current process have  been read and formatted, the
         program reads the next  selected process and  continues processing.

              Since the number of determination that may be downloaded at one time is limited
        to fifty, the download process should not be too time-consuming. Some of the download
        formats, such as Free Format, Appendix H, and Lotus/dBase, take longer because more
        information is  included.  Any download may be stopped by pressing  during the

                            Part 5 - Submitting Information to BLIS

             Upon entering BLIS you may choose to Query or Edit.  This section of the BLIS
       User's Manual describes the Edit option.  The first screen in BLIS which you will see is
       displayed in Figure 5.1. To edit, simply press . As with the Query section of BUS,
       you must press the enter key after each menu selection.

             It is important to note that BLIS has an enhanced HELP system which will provide
       assistance at any point during an edit session.  Just press Fl to access the HELP system
       which explains the screen at  which you are  currently looking.  HELP  is also context-
       sensitive; you will not have to scroll through long lists of values in order to find the one
       appropriate to your situation.

             Upon selection of Edit from the Main menu, BUS will ask you for a password. In
       order to edit or add any information to the BUS data base, you must have a valid BUS ID
       and password (see Figure 5.2). For information on obtaining a BUS ID see Part 1 of this
       User's Manual.

Figure 55 - Record Selection Menu

              Throughout this section of the User's Manual we will refer to determinations in three
        ways; new, edited, and old. New indicates a determinaton that does not exist in the master
        data base. It has been recently entered into BLIS and has not been promoted.  Edited
        indicates a determination that exists in the master data base, has recently been edited, and
        the current copy resides in the transient data base. Old indicates a determination that exists
        onfy in the master data base. No edits exist for this record in the transient data base.

              At the Record Selection Menu you have several options.  As mentioned earlier, the
           option will take you directly to a facility listing (similar to the list seen in the List
        Facilities View Screen). From this listing you may choose to edit one of the facilities on the
        list

              Another option is  Enter BLIS ID. If you choose this option, BLIS will display
        a pop-up box and prompt you to enter the BLIS ID of the record which you would like to
        update (Figure 5.6). If you do not have authority to update the records for the BLIS ID
        entered, a message is displayed and you will be denied access (Figure 5.7).  Alternately, if
        you enter a BLIS ID that does not exist, BLIS will display an error message (Figure 5.8).

         Editing the Data Base

               Editing the data base is a BLIS option which allows you to track the progress of your
         determinations or correct any mistakes you may find in your determinations.

               After you choose  List BUS IDs at the Record Selection Menu, you will be
         presented with a list of the facilities which you are authorized to edit. Once BLIS identifies
         the records to be updated, the BLIS ID  and facility name for each record is displayed in
         order by facility name.  Any new or edited determinations listed here will have a letter
         displayed to the left of the BLIS ID which describes the status of the  record. If no letter
         is displayed, then the determination is old (see Figure 5.13 for an example of "C" and T).

         case. (3), and BLIS will display the process list for that particular facility. Figure 5.11 shows
         this process list.

               Selecting  Enter BLIS ID at the Record Selection Menu will bring you directly
         to the process list.

-------
              At the process list, you must know whether you are editing facility level information,
        process level information, or pollutant level information.  To determine which level your
        data is, see Part 2 of this User's Manual. A very common area of editing is Scheduling
        Information, which is used for tracking the progress of a determination and permit; this
        information is stored at the facility level.

              Although it is possible to edit almos/ all of the information for a determination, it
        is important to note two areas in which editing is restricted.  First, it is possible to edit
        process information for a determination, but it is not possible to add a process to or to
        delete a process or pollutant from an existing determination. For tracking purposes, it is
        necessary for any new processes to be added as part of a new determination. In this case,
        you must choose   Add New Facility at the Record Selection Menu and reenter the
        facility information and the information for the new process.
                                            »
              Agency Codes and Agency Names are the second area in which the edit function is
        restricted.  You may not change these fields once they have been entered into the data base.
        If a determination has an error or if an agency name is changed due to  reorganization,
        please contact  the BUS System Administrator at  (919)  541-2736.   He or she has the
        authority to make this change for you.

              The last area is the BLIS ID (and suffix where applicable). Since this information
        is system generated it is never entered or edited.

             If you choose  Facility Level Data at the Process List, BLJS will display the
        facility level information as seen in Figure 5.12. You can choose to edit or delete the data,
        toggle the data ready for promotion (complete) or not ready for promotion (incomplete),
        or view the notes.

             Toggling 'complete' or 'incomplete'  tells the BUS  System Administrator (SA)
        whether you believe that the determination is complete and ready to be moved to the BLJS
        permanent data base.  Periodically, the BLJS SA will  review the  determinations in the
        transient data base which have been marked 'complete'. If all of the required fields are
        complete, the BLJS SA will promote the determination to the permanent BLJS data base.
        Alternatively, if the BLJS SA decides that the determination is not complete, he or she will
        toggle it back to incomplete and send a notice to the person authorized to edit  the
        determination. See Figure 5.13.

             A second option which you may choose at the Facility Data screen (Figure 5.13) is
        to   Delete Facility.  This option allows the facility data and any processes and
        pollutants associated with the facility to be deleted from the transient data base (see Figure
        5.15).

             Selecting to delete a determination from the transient data base actually flags all the
        records for that determination as deleted. You can still see the determination but cannot
        edit it The word "DELETED" will appear in the upper right corner of the screen. For
        edited determinations, you can choose to copy the original data from the master data base
        to the transient data base  instead of flagging the determination as deleted. Any deleted
        records are permanently removed from the transient data base when records are promoted
        to the master data base. If you have chosen to delete a determination in error,  you may
        undelete. This simply removes the flags from each record and the records can be edited as
        before.

             Note that only new  or edited determinations may be deleted/undeleted.

               Using the current example of the James River Corporation, you have now viewed the
         facility list, chosen the first facility, and edited the facility level information. Now it is time
         to edit  the process level information.  After saving the changes to the facility level
         information, BUS returns you to the Process List.  You may now Eit to Facility List

              Figure 5.18 displays the screen used to edit process information (BLIS will highlight
        all fields which may be edited). As with the facility information, by pressing Fl you may
        access HELP at any point while editing process information.

              Deleting a process from a new determination flags the process record and all the
        associated pollutant  records the same as deleting from the facility  level.  For edited
        determinations, the original process and pollutant data from the master data base is copied
        to the transient data base. Undeleting a process works exactly the same at the process level
        as it does at the facility level.

              Remember, only new or edited determinations may be deleted/undeleted.

              To edit pollutant information, follow the same steps as you did to edit facility and
        process level information. First, you must choose a pollutant from the Pollutant List. BLIS
        will then display the Pollutant Data screen (see Figure 5.19). At this point, you may choose
        to  Delete Pollutant or  Edit Pollutant information. If you choose to edit the
        information, the Edit Pollutant screen will appear with the appropriate fields highlighted
        (see Figure 5.20). As with facility and process level information, you can access HELP at
        any point while editing pollutant data by pressing Fl.

              You may continue to edit processes and pollutants for a facility determination until
        all edits are complete.  Once the edit process is complete for the first determination, you
        will return to the Facility List At that point, you may choose to Eit to Edit Menu or
        select another facility for which you have update authorization.
        Adding Determinations to the Data Base

              At the Record Selection Menu (Figure 5.5), you may choose to  Add New
        Determination to the BLIS data base. Using this information, BLIS will assign a unique
        BLIS ID to the new determination.

              In order to add a determination to BLJS, the information for the determination does
        not have to be complete.  BLIS can be used as a tracking tool while a determination or
        permit is being developed. The scheduling data, stored at the facility level in BLIS, is
        designed specifically as a tracking aid for air pollution control personnel.

              Although the information for a determination does not have to be complete, BLIS
        does  have certain  restrictions with regard  to minimum information.  For each BLJS
        determination, you  must input at least one process and one pollutant.  Only the facility
        name, process name, and a pollutant name are needed to save the new determination. Also,

                                            5-18

-------
you should not input information until you are certain that you have listed all processes for
the facility.  You may not add processes to  an existing facility  determination.  If, for
example, a facility makes a modification and adds a process, you must reenter all facility
information and add the process information to this new BLIS determination.

       Once BLIS has assigned a unique BOS ID to the facility, you are ready to input the
information for  the  determination.   Remember,  BUS  has context-sensitive HELP
throughout the Add process. If you do not understand the type of information which BLIS
requires, just press Fl to view an appropriate HELP screen.

       After choosing to add a new facility at the Record Selection Menu, BLIS will prompt
you whether a determination exists from which it should copy facility information. Often,
several determinations exist for one facility. BLIS allows you to copy the facility information
to the new determination.  If you answer 'yes' to the prompt, BUS  will ask for a BUS ED.
From this ED,  BUS will copy the information into the Add Facility screen.

       After receiving an answer, 'yes' or 'no', BUS will display the Add Facility screen with
or without the copied information (see Figure 5.21). Note the new BUS ED in the upper
left-hand comer.  Unless facility information was copied, all fields on this screen are blank
except the following:

       •     State abbreviation
       •     U.S. EPA Region
       •     Date of determination entry (current date)
       •     Agency Code and Name
       •     Date of last update (current date)

Enter all facility information for the determination and save the information.  BUS will
provide a message stating that the user must now enter process data for the facility (Figure
5.22).

       Information may be submitted to BUS by filling out an Input form and mailing it to
the BLIS SYSOP. If you would prefer to enter information this way, you may obtain Input
forms  by  calling the BUS  SYSOP, Joe  Steigerwald at  (919) 541-2736.  The following
instructions explain how to complete the Input form and how to submit it.
      INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING BACT/LAER CLEARINGHOUSE

                               INPUT SUMMARY

1.     Company Name/Site Location;  Insert name and address of the proposed facility.
       The address should be the location of the proposed facility not the address of the
       parent company unless they are the same.
                                      4
2.     Determination; Circle "New" or "Modified," depending on the nature of the permit.
       If the permit covers a new unit at a new or existing source, it should be marked as
       "New." If the addition of a new unit to an existing source triggers a new permit for
       the entire source, then it should be circles "Modified."  If the permit is only for a
       single unit, but the unit was modified, then it should be circled,  "Modified."

3.     Permit Number; This should be the identification number assigned by the agency
       that issued the permit.

4.     Determination Made by; Designate the agency and the person to whom telephone
       requests should be directed. This should be the person most capable of responding
       to factual questions about the permit decision. Please include the area code with the
       phone number.

5.     Scheduling Information; Permitting scheduling dates stored in BLIS are:

            - date application is received
            - control technology determination (estimated and actual)
            - air quality analysis complete (estimated and actual)
            - other quality analysis complete (estimated and actual)
            - draft permit issued (estimated and actual)
            - public notice (estimated and actual)
            - final permit issued (estimated and actual)
            - start construction (estimated and actual)
            - start-up date (estimated and actual)
            - compliance verification (estimated and actual)

       Please enter all of the scheduling information available. BUS also includes a logical
       field with information on whether the permitting agency held a public hearing.
                                      5-24

-------
6.     Permit Parameters;  List all processes subject to this permit by name (e.g., kiln,
       boiler) for which a throughput limit, operating limit, emission limit, control strategy,
       performance or equipment standard has been specified.

       Process name  or process  equipment should be listed using one of the process
       categories listed in Appendix C (Detailed Listing of Proposed Process Categories).
       A descriptor may be added behind the generic category name. For example,

             Boiler, coal-fired, 3  each
             Kiln, 3 each
             Conveyors, coal/limestone
             Furnace, arc
             Boiler, recovery
             Boiler, power              ^
             Engines, gas-fired

7.     Throughput Capacity: Indicate the maximum design capacity of the unit. Use the
       same units of measure used in the NSPS to describe the size of a source.  Wherever
       possible, use the list of standardized abbreviations for process and emission limit -
       Appendix A.

8.     Process Type Code:  A code assigned to each process (see Appendix  B) used to
       categorize determinations.

9.     SCC Code;  This code is the standard source classification for the processes used
       throughout the  Office of Air at EPA.

10.    Compliance Verification;  This series of fields allows you to enter a yes or no
       response to the following questions:

             - Compliance verified?
             - Method of confirmation
                   Stack testing?
                   Other testing?
                   Inspection?
                   Calculations?

      You may also enter a narrative description of other types of confirmation methods.

11.   Pollutant(s) Emitted;  An entry should be made for each pollutant or parameter for
      which a control requirement or other restraint has been specified (PM, SO2 CO2 NOj,
      opacity, or others).  Use a separate block for each entry and identify the pollutant.
      Use the following standard abbreviations for  these common  pollutants whenever
      possible:


                                       5-25

-------
             PM         Particulate Matter

             CO         Carbon Monoxide
             VOC        Volatile Organic Compounds
             VE         Visible Emissions
             TRS         Total Reduced Sulfur
             F           Fluoride
             Be          Beryllium
             H2S         Hydrogen Sulfide
             Hg          Mercury
             VC         Vinyl Chloride

      Abbreviations for other pollutants aye listed in Appendix A.

12.    Emission Limit(s):  For consistency and ease of comparison, list the emission limit
      or rate in the units of measure listed in Appendix D  or those used in AP-42.
      Wherever possible use the list of standard abbreviations (Appendix A).
      There are multiple emission limits in the Clearinghouse, they are:

            Primary emission limit and units:  The primary emission limit listed hi the
            permit.

            Alternate emission limit and units:  If provided on the permit, these numbers
            represent any alternate emission measurements which the facility may make.

            Standardized limit and units:  This limit allows comparison with other similar
            determinations in BUS.  If standard units are provided for process types,
            BUS users  can compare the entries  in this field to  determine  the most
            stringent limits.

            Base-line limit and units: A base-line figure provided by the permit issuing
            agency. This figure can be used to calculate percent efficiency.  The units
            must be the same as the Standardized limit.

13.    Regulatory Requirements Associated with Omit: Indicate the regulatory requirement
      that precipitated establishing the limit presented, i.e., BACT-PSD, BACT-Other,
      LAER, MACT, RACT,

      GACT, NSPS, NESHAPS, or Other.  Do not list such items as stack test, design or
      others. These items generally represent the supporting information that  may have
      been used to document or establish the given limit.  Such items should be included

             - BACT-PSD (Prevention of Significant Deterioration)
             - BACT-Other (regulated by State/local rules, not PSD)
             - LAER (lowest Available Control Technology)
             - MACT (Maximum Achievable Control Technology)
             - RACT (Reasonably Available Control Technology)
             - GACT (Generally Available Control Technology)
             - NSPS (New source Performance Standards)
             - NESHAP (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants)
             - Other

 14.    Control Equipment  or  Process Modification  Description;   Describe  control
       equipment (ESP, fabric filter, etc.O, Qperational modifications, limits in the type and
       amount of raw  materials used, limits on  throughout  or hours  of operation,
       maintenance  requirements,  equipment  specifications,  or  other  limitations.
       Information in this section may be supplemented under the "Notes" section.

 15.    Control Equipment Manufacturing and Model Number: Two fields which provide
       specific information on the control equipment. Please provide this information if it
       is available.

 16.    Type of Emission controlled; A one-character field indicating whether the emission
       is fugitive, point-source, or area-source.

 17.    Overall Efficiency %;  Enter the overall system efficiency, consisting of capture
       (hoods, ductwork, ect.) and collection (control device) efficiency. Any breakdown of
       efficiencies for capture of collection individually should be  shown under "Notes."

 18.    Calculated Efficiency: The  efficiency  of  control calculated using  the base-line
       emissions and the standardized emissions limit

 19.    Control Option Ranking  Information;  Two  pieces of information are requested:
       The number of control options examined and the rank of the control option selected.
       The "rank" is the number os the control option selected when the options are ordered
       according to the performance of the control system.  Number 1 would be the best
       control system, number 2 would be the next best, ect.

20.    Cost Data; Control costs contained in BLIS include:

             - Capital cost of control equipment

                         USER'S MANUAL FOR BUS BBS

                   Appendix E — Information on the OAOPS TTN
                       From the OAQPS TIN Brochure 12/91

 What is OAOPS TTN?

 OAQPS, the EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, provides information and
 technical support on air pollution control.  Its four divisions - Air Quality Management,
 Emission  Standards, Technical Support, and Stationary Source Compliance ~  provide
 services to EPA Regional Offices, State and local agencies, consultants, industry,  and the
 general public.   These services include clearinghouses, conferences, reports, manuals,
 newsletters, support centers, workshops, classroom training, self-instructional courses, and
 TTN.

 TIN, Technology Transfer Network, is  a network of electronic bulletin boards developed
 and operated by OAQPS. The network provides information and technology exchange in
 different areas of air pollution control, ranging from emission test methods to regulatory air
 pollution models. The service is free except for the cost of the phone call.

 How does it work?

 You access the network from your own computer through the  use of a  modem and
 communications software. Your computer connects with a computer at EPA through the
 phone lines.  Once  you're  on the network,  you've got all the  tools,  technology, and
 information in any of the bulletin boards available at your fingertips. You can find  tools to
 estimate air pollutant emissions, download computer code for regulatory air models, read
 a Title summary of the 1990  Clean Air Act Amendments, find a course offered by  the Air
 Pollution Training Institute, or request technical support in implementing an air pollution
 control program. You can transfer files, communicate with other users, leave a question for
 others to answer, or upload a file for others to use.

 Who can use it?

Anyone in  the world wanting to exchange  information about air pollution,  including
personnel in State and local agencies, the private sector, EPA, and foreign countries.

How do I access it?

Set up your computer, call the network, and  register on-line.  Once your registration is
accepted, you're free  to use the network whenever you need to. Follow the steps below.

Step 1  Install  a modem and  communications software on your  computer, if you don't
already have them. There are a wide variety to choose from.


                                      E-l

-------
Step 2 Set th6 following parameters on your communications; software:

       Data Bits:   8
       Parity:       N
       Stop Bits:    1

Step 3 Call the network using your communications software:

       (919) 541-5742 for a 1200 or 2400 bps modem
       (919) 541-1447 for a 9600 bps modem

Step 4 Log on to the system and answer the questions on the screen, first about yourself,
then about your computer. Press ENTER after each response, except single characters like
Y (yes) or N (no).

       First Name?  (Type your first name.)
       Last Name?  (Type your last name.)
       Calling from (City, State)? (Type your city and state, for example, Raleigh, NC.)
       You are asked to verify this information. (Y or N)

Next select a password, keeping in mind that passwords are CaSe sensitive. After this, you
will see notes and news.  Press ENTER until you reach the main menu for unregistered
users.  As a nonregistered user, you have 30 minutes to browse the menu options.  To select
an option, type the character within brackets < >.

Step 5 Select Registration and answer the questions. After confirming the information you
have entered you will see the main menu for registered users. At this point you can select
other options or exit the system. Descriptions ofOAQPS TTNBulletin Board System contains
a brief description of the different bulletin boards available on the network.  System Utilities
contains various option, which are also available after you become a registered user.

What's on the network?

Eight bulletin boards are currently available on the network, with more to come.

OAQPS - Office of Air Quality Planning and  Standards explains the structure and function
of the four divisions that make up this office, including names and numbers of management
staff.

EMTIC - Emission Measurement Technical Information Center provides access to emission
test methods and testing information for the development and enforcement of national,
State, and local emission prevention and control programs.  It includes computer programs,
stack testing information, regulations, EMTIC  documents, the latest changes to  methods,
bulletins, contact names within EMTIC, and public domain  software.  It  offers  technical

                                       E-2

-------
guidance  on  stationary source  testing  issues  in  support  of the  development and
implementation of emissions standards, emission factors, and State Implementation Plans.
SCRAM - Support Center for Regulatory Air Models provides regulatory air quality model
computer code. It contains newly-developed air quality models as well as existing ones that
are adapted and improved.  You can download computer code, test data, output results,
instructions on  how  to  run  models,  modeling  analysis,  meteorological  data,  and
documentation.  Model Change Bulletins describe changes made to each model.

CHIEF - Clearinghouse for Inventories/Emission Factors contains the latest information
on air emission inventories and emission factors.  It provides access to tools for estimating
emissions of air  pollutants and performing air emission inventories for both criteria and
toxic pollutants. It includes emission estimation data bases, newsletters, announcements, and

 TRANSFER R TNH FTT .F.S
 Download a file

 1      Access the BBS containing the file you want to download, for example, < E > CAAA.
 2      Select the category from which you want to download, for example, <6> Title VI:
       Stratospheric Ozone, then  Title VI Text/Summaries.
 3      Once you see a list of files, note the name of the file you want to transfer.
 4      Type P to  select the protocol that  allows  the BBS to send a file and  that your
       communications software supports.  For example type P 4 for XMODEM protocol.
       If you don't know which protocol to select, look in your communications software
       documentation. This protocol is used for all files you download for the remainder
       of your call, unless you change it with the P command. (To skip this step, see hint
       below.)
 5      Type the name of the file you want to download. For example, SUMM6.TXT. If you
       can't remember the name of the file, type L to see the list of files again, then enter
       the file name. You will see an estimate of how much time it will take to transfer the
       file. You can stop the procedure by pressing the CONTROL and X keys together.
 6      Select the protocol for your communications software, the same protocol you used
       before.  Depending on the communications  software you have, you follow different
       procedures.  For example, if you have PROCOMM, press the PAGEDOWN key to
       see the protocol menu, select the protocol,  in this example, 1 for XMODEM, and
       enter path and name of the file you want to create on your computer, for example,
       C:\BBSDIR\BBSFILE.TXT.   The  procedure  indicates  when the  transfer  is
       completed.
 7      Now you can transfer another file or return to the menu.

       Hint: Assign a default protocol to be used every time you download a file. Select
            hange Terminal Config from the System Utilities Menu. Select D - Set
            File Download Protocol. Then choose a default protocol.  Now whenever you
            .download a file, simply enter the file name, such as SUMM6.TXT.  You do
            not have to specify the P command first, except to change the default.

 Decompress files
 Files with the file name extension ARC or ZIP are compressed (archived) to save space and
 time when downloading. These files must be decompressed (unarchived) to save space and
 time when downloading. These files must be decompressed (unarchived) after downloading
 to be used.

 1      Select ystems Utilities from the Top Menu.
2      Select rchivers/Dearchivers from the Systems Utilities Menu.
3     Download ARCE.COM, ARCE.DOC, DEARCH.TXT, and PKZ110.EXE.  Do this
      step only one time for all files you need to decompress.
4     Download any ARC or ZIP file you want to decompress from any of the BBS's.


                                     E-7

-------
5     When you exit the network and return to DOS, create a new directory and copy the
      downloaded files to it.  In this way, files you decompress are not mixed in with your
      other files.
6     For ARC files, types ARCE filename were filename is the name of an ARC file you
      want to decompress, for example, ARCE PCRAMTIARC.
      For ZIP files, type PKZ110 to decompress the PKZ110 file, which generates
      additional files.  Then use the PKUNZIP command to  decompress any of the ZIP
      files you downloaded, for example, PKUNZIP CALINE3.ZIP.

      More information about dearchiving files is in DEARCH.TXT, one of the files you
      downloaded.

Upload a file

In some BBS's you can upload a file for general use. Enter the appropriate area and follow
the instructions provided. The procedure is similar to downloading a file, except for minor
differences.  For example,  in PROCOMM, press PAGEUP to upload a file (instead of
PAGEDOWN) to download.  In CROSSTALK, type XX (instead of RX).

For additional help and directions, select < H > elp Downloading/Uploading from the System
Utilities Menu.
