       This study gives  an estimate of river  towboat air pollution  emissions for
 the  St. Louis Air Pollution Study area.  No emissions from secondary sources or
 from recreational boating on the river of other areas are considered.   The
 emission estimate is based primarily on river  traffic data taken  by  the Corps of
 Engineers at Lock 27 near St. Louis and on  exhaust emission factors  of  similar
 engines of the Coast Guard fleet and railroad  locomotives.

       The emissions are given for each grid  of  the Environmental Protection
 Agency (EPA) St. Louis Grid Plan so that these results can be utilized  for the
 St.  Louis Regional Air Pollution Study.

       The total annual  emissions in the SLAPS region from towboats operating on
  the  135 miles of  the Mississippi river and  the 95 miles on the  Missouri river are
 estimated to be:
       Oxides of nitrogen
       Total hydrocarbons
       Carbon Monoxide
       Oxides of sulfur

                              PREFACE


     This report presents the methodology for, and results of,
estimating river towboat air pollution emissions for the St. Louis
Air Pollution Study.  The study was conducted as part of the Tech-
nology for Environmental Analysis Project (PPA-OS-522) by the DOT
Environmental Measurements Branch, Transportation Systems Center,
for the Energy and Environment Division, Office of the Secretary
of Transportation.
     The St. Louis Air Pollution Study (SLAPS) is composed of
several individual studies exploring the relationships between the
urban complex and air quality.  These studies are investigating
the sources of air pollution, the transport and transformation of
air pollutants, and the effects of air pollution upon receptors.
     This report is a revision of an earlier draft.  It includes
the following changes:
     a)  The revised EPA St. Louis Air Pollution Study grid layout
         is used.
     b)  Vessel emissions are given for the complete SLAPS area,
         including the Missouri River.  The extended coverage plus
         the grid revisions have resulted in an increase of grid
         elements with vessel traffic, from 47 in the draft report,
         to 131.
     c)  Additional river traffic volume data from the Corps of
         Engineers for a week in January and one in April, 1974
         have been used to improve the traffic data base.
     d)  A revised methodology estimates river traffic character-
         istics on the basis of a simple origin/destination
         analysis.
     e)  A simplified explanation of the methodology is given.
     The results of this study are estimates of towboat exhaust
emissions,  and thus must be treated as approximations.   However,
variations  in daily traffic volume are not large, and the emissions
                                 111

-------
estimates are considered representative of daily river towboat
emissions.  Reduced emissions occur under exceptional conditions,
when river operations are severely curtailed (during periods of
extreme flooding or icing, blockage of navigation,  work stoppage,
and so on).

1.1  OBJECTIVE
     This report describes a method for estimating river towboat
air  pollution  and  it  presents  the  estimates  of  air pollution
emissions  from river  towboats  operating in the  region of St. Louis,
Missouri.   These emissions  include:   carbon  monoxide  (CO),  oxides
of nitrogen (NO ),  total  hydrocarbon  (THC),  oxides of sulfur
(SOV) ,  and  particulates  (Part).  The  emissions  estimate will be
   A.
used by participants  of the St. Louis Air Pollution Study  (SLAPS).

1.2  SCOPE
     This study is limited to primary air pollutants emitted from
river towboat diesel engines.   Emissions originating from ship
electrical-service generating units, cargo, loading and unloading
activities, and fueling and maintenance operations are not in-
cluded .  *
     The emissions are estimated for river towboats operating on
the waterways within the SLAPS region.  This area includes the
Mississippi River, from Mile 100 below St. Louis to Mile 235**
above St. Louis; and the Missouri River from the confluence of the
Mississippi River to near Mile 95.   This area is shown in Figure
1-1.
     The method used consists  of estimating river traffic and propul-
sion  engine characteristics from limited statistical  information on
river traffic and from observations by Coast Guard and Army Corps of
  Secondary emissions are probably rather small, as compared to
  the exhaust emission.  For example, ship electrical service
  generating units have a maximum rating that is approximately three
  percent of the propulsion unit and they are normally operated well
  below capacity.
**
  River miles given here are based on Corps of Engineers river
  distance measured above the mouth of the Ohio River.  The Gateway
  Arch in St. Louis is located near Mile 180.

Engineers personnel familiar with river vessel operations.  The
traffic volumes and engine types are then used to calculate emis-
sions, based on measurements of emissions factors for similar
diesel engines used on Coast Guard vessels and rail locomotives.
No emission testing of towboats was undertaken during this study.
     The emissions are calculated and presented for the EPA St.
Louis grid plan.*  This layout divides the 10 county area into
grids of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 10 km squares, depending upon the
level of expected air pollutant emissions.

1.3  LIMITATION OF RESULTS
     Emissions estimates presented are made from the averages of
daily river traffic volume and towboat engine characteristics.  The
volume of traffic is low and the range of vessel characteristics
is large, so that an estimate of hourly emission rates is not
practical; therefore, the emissions are expressed only as daily
estimations.  No error estimate or sensitivity analysis was made,
as a greater level of effort would be required to establish the
distribution and accuracy of all the variables.   While no verifica-
tion of the emissions inventory accuracy was possible, the estima-
tion is sufficiently accurate to determine the relative contribu-
tion of towboats to St. Louis air pollution and to serve as input
data for the urban atmospheric dispersion model under development
by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for their
Regional Air Pollution Study (RAPS).

              2,  RIVER TRAFFIC - ST, LOUIS, MISSOURI
2.1  HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
     The American river system has provided a vital right-of-way
for transportation.  It contributed to the Western expansion of a
century ago and today continues to promote the economic well-being
of our nation.
     In the early 19th century, keelboats were the primary mode of
river traffic.  Transportation downstream was relatively easy; but
to move upstream, laborers had to walk the river bank, pulling the
boat with ropes while others aboard pushed with poles which
reached the river bottom.  Although steam-powered towboats became
dominant around the time of the Civil War, freight movements were
still usually with the river flow.  Not until the development of
propeller towboats, around World War I, was there significant bi-
directional freight traffic.  In 1930, the diesel engine began
replacing the steam engine as the primary propulsion for towboats,
and by 1974 there were no steam-powered towboats on the Mississippi
River system.
     Since the introduction of the diesel engine and the develop-
ment and improvement of existing waterways by the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers, total ton mileage has increased from 9 billion in
1930 to 210 billion in 1970.
(1)*
     The Mississippi River constitutes the major link for the 6,000
navigable miles of the Mississippi Valley's system of inland water-
ways.  The river is navigable from Minneapolis, MN to New Orleans,
LA, a distance of 1,837 miles.  St. Louis lies near the mid-point.
Above St. Louis are 28 locks and dams constructed by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers to aid navigation.  Open waters lie south of St.
Louis and extend below New Orleans to the delta at the Gulf of
Mexico.

2.2  ST. LOUIS - PRESENT
     The Port of Metropolitan St. Louis consists of 70 miles of
Mississippi River frontage between mile 138.8 and mile 208.8.
Included in this stretch are Lock 27 on the Chain-of-Rocks Canal,
a ten-mile canal built to bypass a low-water area approximately
6 miles above St. Louis, and Lock 26, further upstream near Alton,
111.
     St. Louis is one of the busiest inland ports in the United
States.  It serves as a major transfer point for both upstream and
downstream traffic on the Mississippi River System.  However, port
freight volume has increased only about 10 percent since 1960 while
other port cities along the Mississippi have sometimes doubled or
tripled their freight volume over that same period.^ '
     St. Louis is still the third largest port on the river and the
river itself in the St. Louis area handles approximately 50,000,000
tons per year in terminal and thru traffic.  This freight volume
generates a significant amount of river traffic.
     The vessel traffic in the St. Louis area consists of long-
distance transit tows, originating and terminating long-distance
tows, intra-port traffic, switcher boat fleeting operations (making
and breaking tows) and the operations in passing through Lock 26 to
Lock 27.  Approximately 50 barges are either loaded or unloaded per
day and about 700-800 barges are handled each day in making and
braking tows in the St. Louis port area. *• '
     Tows vary in size from one to as many as fifty or sixty
barges.  A typical tow is about 1,000 ft. long.   Tows above the
St. Louis area are restricted by the Army Corps  of Engineers to
17 barges.  The lock width restrictions dictate  that tows be
split into smaller tows with a minimum size of two barges in width
by six barges in length.  Below St.  Louis, tows  are generally
larger.  Typical tows are usually five barges in length by six
barges in width.
                                2-2

-------
     Towboat engines range in size from around 100 hp to over
10,000 hp.   Towboats with engine sizes under 500 hp have proved
inefficient for transporting barges over large distances and are
generally utilized in the immediate port vicinity for preparation
of larger tows.  Engine sizes substantially over 10,000 hp are
unlikely in the near future, since engines in 7,000-9,000 hp range
can handle as large a tow as is possible to maneuver on the
Mississippi with present navigation technology. *• -*

                     3,  EMISSIONS ASSESSMENT


3.1  METHODOLOGY
     The air pollutants emitted by river vessel propulsion systems
are calculated by the following expression:
     Emissions = Horsepower-Hours x Emission Factor
where:
     Emissions (grams per day per grid element)
     Horsepower-Hours  (Number of towboats per grid per day) x
                       (average HP x average throttle position) x
                       (grid distance/average speed)
     Emission Factors  (grams per HP-hour for carbon monoxide  (CO),
                       oxides of nitrogen (NO ), total hydrocarbon
                       (THC), oxides of sulfur (SO ), and particu-
                                                  j\.
                       lates (Part)).

     River traffic data (the number of towboats and engine horse-
power,  average throttle settings and average speeds) are estimated
in  Section 3.2.  The selection of emission factors is presented in
Section 3.3.  In Section 4, the emissions are calculated by grid
and in Section 5 per mile of navigable waterway in the SLAPS
region.
     The following methodology was used to determine river vessel
exhaust emissions.
     Step 1 -  River Vessel Traffic Characteristics
               Examine available statistical data and qualitative
               information on river traffic in order to divide the
               river and traffic into zones, where, within each
               zone, traffic characteristics can be assumed to be
               uniform.  (Sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.2)
     Step 2 -  EPA Grid Locations and Travel Distance for each Grid
               Draw grids on U.S. Geological Survey Maps using the
                                3-1

-------
          Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) system coordin-
          ates specified by EPA.  Vessel travel distances for
          each grid are then measured along the river center.
Step3 -  Determine River Traffic Volume Counts
          Determine average traffic flow for the assumed types
          of traffic and zones determined in Step 1.  (Sections
          3.2.2, 3.2.3, 3.2.4, 3.2.5, 3.2.6)
Step 4 -  River Vessel Horsepower
          Determine average river vessel engine horsepower
          for the assumed traffic and zones.  (Sections 3.2.2,
          3.2.3, 3.2.4, 3.2.5)
Step 5 -  Vessel Average Engine Duty Cycle
          Determine average river engine throttle setting and
          times of operation  (utilization factors) based on
          estimates made by the Corps of Engineers, for up-
          bound and downbound traffic and switcher boats.
          (Sections 3.2.5, 3.2.6, 3.2.7)
Step 6 -  Vessel Average Speeds
          Determine vessel speeds, upbound and downbound, for
          the various zones of operations based on estimates
          made by the Corps of Engineers.  (Section 3.2.7)
Step 7 -  Vessel Horsepower-Hours Per Grid Per Day
          Calculate river vessel horsepower-hours per grid
          per day by the expression;
          Horsepower-Hours =  (Number of towboats per grid per
                             day) x (average HP x average
                             throttle)  x (grid distance/
                             average speed)

Step 8 -  Emission Factors
          Identify river vessel engine  types by manufacturer
          and model representative of the towboat population.
                            3-2

-------
               Determine emission factors for engines identified
               for the proper horsepower utilization factor.  In-
               corporate a frequency weighting factor for each
               engine to determine the average emission factor for
               the pollutants CO, NO   THC, SO  and particulates.
                                    A         A
               These emission factors are in grams per brake horse-
               power-hour.   (Section 3.3)
     Step 9 -  Emissions
               Calculate the river vessel exhaust emissions by the
               equation:
               Emissions = Horsepower-Hours x Emission Factor where
                           emissions are in grams per day per grid
                           element.  The emissions are calculated
                           separately for upbound and downbound;
                           through and local traffic and for the
                           switcher boats in the terminal areas.
     Step 10 - Yearly Distribution
               Determine the estimated distribution of river
               traffic over the year so that the emissions calcu-
               lated in Step 9 may be adjusted for time of year.

3.2  RIVER TRAFFIC

3.2.1  Daily Mississippi Towboat Traffic
     Towboat operation in the SLAPS area is estimated by analyzing
a combination of (1) vessel traffic records collected by the St.
Louis Corps of Engineers at Lock 27, (2) estimates (by the Coast
Guard and the Corps of Engineers personnel at St. Louis and at
Omaha) of river traffic characteristics, and (3) from aggregate
statistics of waterborne commerce issued by the Corps of Engineers
at New Orleans.
The only actual count of river towboat activity is that taken at
Lock 27.  No other traffic records  are taken at any other location
in the SLAPS region.  Passage through Lock 27 is recorded by the
                                 3-3

         A  value  of  32  towboats** per day  through Lock  27  is
 selected for  the average  river  traffic above St. Louis.***

 3.2.2   Towboat Route and  Horsepower Size  Distribution  at  Lock  27
     The averages of traffic  and horsepower in  Table 3-1  were  con-
 sidered insufficiently disaggregated for  estimating emissions.
 Therefore,  traffic  through  the  Lock was divided by origin and
 destination to provide some indication of traffic volume  and

   68.
   This  does not include towboat  activity at the docks and termin-
   als making and breaking tows,  see  Sections 3.2.3,  3.2.4, 3.2.5.

     Examination of the towboat "horsepower distribution" for the
ten day sample indicated:  (1) 1000-2000 HP class towboats are in
considerable use  in the St.  Louis/Alton area; (2) through traffic
consists of many sizes of towboats (3200 HP is the most frequent
size; some are in the 5000-7000 HP range); and (3) smaller towboats
of less than 2000 HP are generally used for moving small tows to
the Ohio River or short distances below the St. Louis SLAPS region.
The analysis also showed that the average size of towboats was
smaller above St. Louis than below.
     In addition to the Mississippi River System traffic above St.
Louis, there are additional distinct segments of river traffic
activity not shown in the Lock 27 data.  These are:   (1) traffic
                                3-5

-------
below St. Louis; (2) Missouri River traffic; (3) St. Louis port
activity associated with barge terminals; and (4) activity
associated with Lock 26 and 27.  For making the emissions calcula-
tions, a traffic flow split was established on the basis of the
distribution shown in Table 3-2 and on the contribution of traffic
from other activity described below.  The traffic flow is shown
in Figure 3-1.

3.2.3  Traffic Below St. Louis
     The greatest uncertainty in estimating river vessel emissions
is that portion contributed by towboats below St. Louis which do
not go through Lock 27.  Since Lock 27 is the only point in the
SLAPS region where river traffic is counted, the river traffic
which stays either above or below the Lock is not counted.  As
most of the St. Louis port activity is below the Lock, the assump-
tion was made that little traffic stayed above the Lock 27 and
therefore the emissions for such traffic could be neglected.
Traffic below Lock 27 consists of:   (1) traffic between ports
above the lock and the port area, (2) local switcher boat activity,
(3) traffic between ports above the lock and below St. Louis and
(4) traffic on the lower Mississippi which either originates or
terminates below Lock 27.  Of these four categories, the vessels
which go through the lock are counted and averaged for this calcu-
lation and the port activity is based upon Coast Guard estimates.
     The Corps of Engineers annual  inland waterway statistical
summary^ ' indicates that the annual number of towboats on the
Mississippi River below St. Louis averages 20 vessels per day. For
our calculations, we have assumed that 24 vessels per day use the
Mississippi below St.  Louis.   The routes of sixteen of these in-
clude passage through Lock 27 and are counted.   An additional
eight are assumed to either start or end their journeys below Lock
27.  This is only half the number observed that either start or
end their journeys below Lock 27 and whose trips are above St.
Louis.  The tows below St. Louis are normally larger than those
going above St. Louis, and below the city there is likely to be no
                                3-6

-------
 concentration of inter port activity similar to that between the
 city and the Alton area.  Therefore, a smaller number of tows but
 of average larger size is assumed below St. Louis.*

 3.2.4  Missouri River Traffic
      Traffic information on the Missouri River was provided by the
 Corps of Engineers at Omaha.     They estimated that during the
 navigation season approximately 3 tows per day (total, both direc-
 tions) are on the lower end of the Missouri River.** For this esti-
 mate 1-1/2 tows, each direction per day were used.  Speeds esti-
 mated by the Coast Guard are 6 mph upbound and 10 mph downbound.
 Average horsepower from Omaha Corps of Engineers information was
 2400 HP.

 3.2.5  Port Area Traffic
      In the St. Louis port area, switcher boats are responsible
 for "spotting" barges when making and breaking tows and moving
 barges to docks and yards.
      Estimates of port area activity from the U.S. Coast Guard
 Office in St. Louis was that 15 towboats operating as switcher
 boats were within the port area.  Since this was the only informa-
 tion available, switcher boat traffic density was assumed to be 15
 vessels per day in the port area.
  A check on the traffic estimate is given by estimating the number
  of barges handled per day in the St. Louis area (see Figure 3-1).
  The traffic estimate check consists of calculating total barges
  for:  (1) 16 tows/day between St.  Louis and the upper Mississippi
  River System (18 barges/tow), (2)  10 tows/day originating or
  terminating in the Alton area (18  barges/tow),  (3) 8 tows/day
  between St. Louis and the lower reaches of the  Mississippi River
  (30 barges/tow).  This calculation shows 708 barges per day
  handled in the St. Louis port area.  This total number of barges
  is in agreement with that indicated by Kearney  (3), who estimated
  50 barges loaded and unloaded per  day and 700-800 barges handled
  in making and breaking tows per day.
**
  See Section 3.2.8.1 for monthly variation.
                                  3-!

-------
     Switcher boats operate part of the day with their engines at
idle because of the nature of their operations; therefore, the
following duty cycle was assumed:
     1/2 of the operating period at idle
     1/2 of the operating period at 50 percent power setting.
The duty cycle was assumed to be applicable for all switcher boats
in the port area, and that the duty cycle for switcher boats was 8
hours for a normal working day.
     Switcher boat engines usually range from 300 to 500 horse-
power.     An average of 400 hp was used for this analysis.  There-
fore, the 15 port area switcher boats contribute an estimated
12,000 hp-hr daily.
     The distribution of port activity was determined from an Army
Corps of Engineers' publication listing Mississippi River terminals,
docks, mooring locations and warehouses which located the terminals
and docking areas within each grid element.  '  Table 3-3 cites
those grids (Column 1) and gives the number of terminals within
that grid (Column 2).   Column 3 lists the weighting factors arrived
at by dividing the number of terminals within each grid element by
the 67 total number of terminals.  Column 4 gives horsepower-hours
contributed by switcher boats to each grid.

3.2.6  Passage through Locks 26 and 27
     River traffic on the Mississippi River must traverse two locks
in the SLAPS region, Lock 26 at Alton and Lock 27 on the Chain-of-
Rocks Canal.  Frequently the tow must be broken into two segments
before entering the lock and additional time is required for re-
assembling it.  Corps  of Engineers personnel estimate an average
combined time of delay while waiting to enter the locks, possibly
breaking the tow, lock passage, and re-making the tow at three
hours for Lock 27 and  five hours for Lock 26.  The emissions for
each lock are calculated on the basis of the waiting periods
(engines at idle) without consideration for     short periods of
propulsion used in positioning the tows and traversing the locks.
The lock traffic data  are shown in Table 3-4.

3.2.7  Towboat Speedj and Throttle Settings
     Towboat speeds are influenced primarily by the river current
and difficulty of navigation.  For this study the river system is
broken into three zones of different speed operation:
     1.  Chain-of- Rocks Canal,
     2.  Missouri River,
     3.  Mississippi River.
     The Chain-of-Rocks Canal is essentially a constant level pool
with no current.  Narrowness of the waterway restricts speeds to
5-7 mph.  Six mph was used for our calculations.  Towboat speeds
on the Missouri River are 6 mph upbound and 10 mph downbound.
These speeds were suggested by the St. Louis Coast Guard Office.
     The Mississippi River towboat speeds used are 5 mph upbound
and 10 mph downbound.  This is the average speed indicated by the
American Waterways Operators, Inc. for traffic between St. Louis
and New Orleans.
     Average horsepower utilization factors (throttle settings)
were obtained from personnel of the U.S.  Coast Guard Marine In-
spection Office in St.  Louis.     Their estimates were based on
personal experience and information obtained from the towboat
industry.   Throttle settings used in this study are shown in Table
3-5.

3.2.8  Temporal Distribution of Traffic

3.2.8.1  Daily and Monthly - The traffic data acquired for this
study displayed little variation on a daily or monthly basis. From
other information sources, it is known that ice on the Missouri
River and on the upper reaches of the Mississippi curtail vessel
movements during the winter months.  Likewise, periods of high
water, i.e., flooding, also reduce (if not completely stop) tow-
boat operations.  The Illinois River and the Mississippi River
throughout the SLAPS region are normally open to river traffic all
year long.  Short periods of cold weather may cause ice on the
                               f 0~\
Mississippi pool above Lock 26.  J  Stoppages in towboat operations
are infrequent and thus no emission reduction is assumed for this
area.  The Missouri River is normally closed to navigation from
the beginning of December to the first of March.     (The actual
dates are a function of the weather conditions.)  Therefore,
                                3-12

-------
vessel  emissions  are  considered to be  zero for the Missouri River
from  1  December to  1  March each year.

3.2.8.2  Hourly - River  vessel traffic  cannot be  estimated on  an
hourly  basis.  Therefore, there can be  no disaggregation of emis-
sion  rates  on  an  hourly  time  scale and  have  it remain meaningful.
Actual  hourly  emissions  per grid range  from  zero  (when no towboat
is  in the grid) to  as much as five times the hourly average based
on  daily  emission rates  when  a large towboat is traveling upbound.

3.2.9   Summary of River  Traffic Data Used for Emissions Calculations
      In Figure 3-1  values used for the  river traffic data in calcu-
lating  horsepower-hours  are illustrated.  Values  of vessel traffic
and engine  characteristics are shown in Table 3-6.

3.3  EMISSION  FACTORS
      As shown  in  section 3.1, towboat  emissions are calculated by
taking  the  product  of horsepower hours  and emission factors, the
latter  are  expressed  in  mass  of pollutant per horsepower-hour.
      An emission  factor  is a  statistical average, or a quantitative
estimate, of the  rate at which a pollutant is emitted as a result
of  a  particular activity, divided by the level of that activity.
Emission  factors  are  estimated by a variety  of techniques, includ-
ing measurements  of typical sources, process material balances and
engineering estimates.   As such, they  are not precise indicators of
single  source  emissions; they are more  valid when estimating emis-
sions from  an  aggregation of  sources.   In addition, the accuracy of
emissions calculated  by  emission factors improves as the similarity
increases between the source used when  establishing the emission
factors and the source (s) being estimated.
      In this study,  emission factors are based on measurements  taken
of  diesel engines used on both Coast Guard vessels and on railroad
locomotives.   )'11'12-'   The towboat prime movers are similar to
the engines  of the Coast Guard fleet  and locomotives.   The  two
variables  used in  determining  the  emission factors are:

(1) manufacturer and type of engine, (2) the percentage of throttle
opening since emissions are non-linear with throttle load.  Infor-
mation on towboat engine types was obtained from the Inland River
Records,  ' which documents approximately 3500 river vessels.  Data
available for each vessel include:  vessel size and power plant
type and size, age, manufacturer and model type.
     A simple random sample of 250 observations was taken (refer-
ence, 4). Essential information about each observation was docu-
mented for analysis; e.g., total engine horsepower, engine manu-
facturer, engine type, etc.
     According to reference 4, the manufacturers of towboat diesel
engines are:
        56 percent manufactured by General Motors Corporation (CMC)
        21 percent by Caterpillar
        6 percent by Cummins
        5 percent by Superior
        3 percent by Copper-Bessomer
The remaining 9 percent of the engines are manufactured by compa-
nies having less than 1 percent of the market.
     Further analysis of the CMC data indicated that the three most
common types of CMC engines present in the sample were:
     1.   CMC 567
     2.   CMC 645
     3.   CMC 71 Series.
     The emission factors for these three engine series were aggre-
gated to form composite emission factors.  These three engine
types propel the majority of the towboat fleet and their emission
factor data are readily available.  Figure 3-2 illustrates the
total horsepower of the three engine series for the established
sample;  the figures were derived by multiplying the horsepower per
engine by the number of engines in the sample.  GM engines were
                                3-15

used exclusively because the GM engine represents over 75 percent
of the total horsepower in the statistical sample taken from The
Inland River Record.
     Table 3-7 shows the data used to determine the emission fac-
tors for CO, NO , and THC for upward.bound towboats.  The emission
               Jv.
factors are for the three GM engines and are the values for 85
percent of full power which represent most of the upward-bound
traffic (see Table 3-6).  Similarly Table 3-8 presents the data
used to determine the emission factors for CO, NO , and THC for
                                                 A.
downward-bound towboats, based on 50 percent of full power.  The
final emissions for CO, NO , and THC for upward-bound and downward-
bound towboats are shown in Table 3-9.
     Emission factors for SO  and particulates were not available
                            J\.
from actual measurements as were the other primary pollutants.
                          f 121
Therefore, an EPA document     was used which gives these emission
factors for heavy-duty truck and locomotive diesel engines.  Since
towboat engines are essentially the same as truck and locomotive
engines, with slight modifications, these emission factors were
considered acceptable for this study.   Factors of 1.4 grams per
horsepower-hour for SO  and .6 grams per horsepower-hour for
particulates were derived from the calculations presented in
Table 3-10.
     The emission factors for the upward-bound towboats are based on
85 percent of full power.  They are assumed to be the same for the
towboats at 75 percent of full power (upward-bound on the Missouri
River and "local traffic" on the Chain-of-Rocks Canal).  The emis-
sion factors for downward-bound towboats are based on 50 percent
of full power.  They are assumed to be the same for those towboats
at 33 percent of full power (through traffic on the Chain-of-Rocks
Canal).
     In actual measurements of exhaust emissions little difference
is noted between emissions in gm/hp-hr at 75 and 85 percent of full
power.   Also, some measurements show little difference between 33
and 50 percent of full power.   Therefore, while some error may be
introduced by using a single emission factor for upward-bound
                                 3-17

the uncertainty is less than for other factors and assumptions.
The horsepower-hour calculations are based on the actual estimated
percentages of engine loads to account for some of the possible
differences in emissions due to different loadings.
     The emission rates in grams per hour for an engine at idle
are given in Table 3-11.

     This section presents the emission estimates in tabular form.
Table 4-1 is an index of the tables showing the table numbers for
the various sections of waterway.
     Tables 4-2 through 4-17 show the estimated river vessel horse-
power-hours and emissions.  The emissions are given for CO, THC,
N0x,  SO  and particulates for each grid and are in units of grams
per day.
     Table 4-18 summarizes the river vessel emissions for all the
sections of waterway and for the entire SLAPS area.  The emissions
associated with the switcher boats at idle were calculated for a
400 hp GM-71 Series engine.   This engine is considered representa-
tive  of the total switcher boat population operating in the port
area.  Emissions of the larger towboats at idle waiting at the locks
are taken in proportion to their horsepower and to the values shown
in Table 3-11.

                   5,  SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS


5.1  DATA BASE
     Vessel exhaust emissions estimates in this study are consid-
ered to be sufficiently comprehensive for the specific area in-
volved.  Limitations encountered which influence the conclusions
include the availability of river vessel traffic information,
appropriate vessel duty cycles, and operational characteristics.
     Towboat traffic estimates south of St. Louis were based on
aggregate estimates of traffic on the Mississippi between the
Missouri and Ohio Rivers, and are not as accurate as actual vessel
counts.  Corps of Engineers Lock Number 27 has served as the source
of information for vessel traffic north of St. Louis.  Port traffic
allocations are based upon the total port traffic estimates from
industry spokesmen and the fact that traffic density within each
port grid element is based on the number of terminals within that
grid.  If these assumptions differ substantially from the actual
conditions, the grid elements emission estimates will be erroneous.
It was the author's intent to show the significance of switchboat
operations, and the methodology and data used were considered the
best available.
     The critical assumption affecting the calculated emissions are
the towboat power setting (duty cycles).   Any major deviation from
the assumed values of power settings for towboats will cause an
almost direct proportional change in exhaust emissions.   Similarly,
any change in the assumed duty cycle for port traffic will affect
the calculated emissions for the respective grids.

5.2  RESULTS
     In Table 5-1 vessel emissions per mile of the  various zones
of waterway in the SLAPS region are shown.   The effects  of waiting
periods with the towboat engine at idle and time going through the
locks result in high THC and CO emissions for zone  6 (Lock 27)  and
zone 10 (Lock 26).   The emission rates per mile allow quick
                                5-1

-------
comparison with other point and area emission sources.
     In Table 5-2, vessel emissions relative to other emission
sources are shown.  On a percentage basis for the entire AQCR,
towboat emissions are minor.  Upon the completion of the EPA-RAPS
emission inventory, the relative towboat emissions on a per-grid
will be available.
