SECOND ANNUAL EPA/AWMA CONFERENCE ON
EMISSION INVENTORIES BEING PLANNED
After the highly successful first
emission inventory conference last
September (see the October
Newsletter), EPA and the Air And
Waste Management Association are
planning a repeat effort. J. David
Mobley, Chief of the Emission
Inventory Branch (EIB), will be
general conference chair. The meeting,
scheduled for October 19 through 22,
1992 will examine emission
estimation tools, current research and
issues, and possible problem areas for
future inventories. On the 19th, there
will be a one-day training course on
inventory and estimation
fundamentals, and actual conference
proceedings will begin the 20th.
The call for papers has been
issued, and everyone interested in
speaking at the conference should
contact EPA's Larry Jones or John
O'Connor of Radian (see below under
"Upcoming Meetings And
Conferences"). Session topics and
other details are still being configured.
As soon as possible, the latest
information on the specialty
conference will be made available
through the CHIEF bulletin board,
this Newsletter and the AW MA
Journal. Watch for it. (Elsewhere in
this Newsletter, you can find out how
to get on the bulletin board.) *&
FULL REVISION OF AP-42's STATIONARY SOURCE VOLUME
is WELL UNDER WAY
The Emission Factor And
Methodologies Section has undertaken
a complete update of the stationary
source volume of AP-42 this fiscal
year. Much of the material in our
recent Supplement D, announced in
the last Newsletter, was the result of
the initial six-month review and
revision of AP-42 as mandated by the
Clean Air Act Amendments. But
we're not stopping there. Over the
next several months, our efforts will
encompass the review and revision of
the entire stationary source volume.
The work will also add to AP-42 any
sufficiently representative emission
factors we can develop for air toxics,
greenhouse gases, or stratospheric
ozone depleters, as well as new
information for the six criteria
pollutants.
Source test programs will be
planned, to resolve any data
deficiencies we can identify.
Here's the approximate schedule
we are planning to follow:
Data gathering: Through February
1992.
Data evaluation: Through March
'92.
Revisions and documentation
drafts: Through mid-May '92.
Internal reviews: April - June '92.
External reviews and placement of
drafts on CHIEF: May and June '92.
Acceptance and resolution of
comments: July - September '92.
Publication of Supplement E of
AP-42: November '92.
Resolution of more complicated
issues and completion: May '93.
Completion of this phase:
November '93.
As you can see, there will likely
be a Supplement F before we are fully
through with the "wholesale" revision.
After that publication, we expect to be
folding all the pieces of AP-42 into a
new edition. The ingredients of this
Fifth Edition will still look familiar in
format and content, but the increasing
amounts of both new and revised
material may lead to the chapters'
being published as separate reports. In
this form, users not interested in the
entire AP-42 will be able to get copies
of only the parts they need.
Work assignments for various
chapters in AP-42 have been assigned
This newsletter is printed on recycled paper.
-------
to several contractors. Each contractor
has to 1) gather all available existing
data, 2) review these data, 3) propose
revised factors and any other section
improvements, 4) distribute the revised
proposals to external reviewers, 5)
incorporate any comments, and 6)
prepare final AP-42 sections and
background documentation. In
addition, each contractor will propose a
source testing strategy for future years.
We would appreciate hearing
from our readers - state and
local agencies, industry,
consultants and others - about
all aspects of this process. We
want your comments or
critiques of existing sections,
but more importantly, you can
also provide test data,
volunteer to be a reviewer,
volunteer your plant for
testing, or assist in other ways
you think would be useful. We
will base operations on priority and
perceived need on our part
Other significant activities
overlaid on this operation make it even
more complicated. For example, we
are including several improvements in
the consistency of AP-42. These
relate to VOC reporting consistency,
PM-10 data, and general information
on toxics, CO2 emissions, methane,
etc. We plan also to add Source
Classification Codes into the tables
and to make other changes to facilitate
the computerized version on the Air
CHIEF compact disk. We also have
active cooperative test programs going
with the petroleum, wood products,
crushed aggregate, and asphalt batching
industries, and others.
We also plan to update the Air
CHIEF CD-ROM annually each
March, to include the most recent new
and updated emission factor material
we have, for AP-42 as well as for the
other data bases on the compact disk.
Please give us a hand with all of
this work. If you have data, would
like to be a reviewer, or help in any
other way, get in touch with us. You
may send data and other information,
in writing please, to the person in
EFMS who is responsible for the
specific chapter in AP-42. If you send
test data or literature citations, please
include sufficient information for it to
be evaluated. For example, test data
should specify methods, process data
taken at the same time, etc. <&>
HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE CLEARINGHOUSE!
As we roll into CY 1992 (The
Year Of The Emission Inventory!),
let's have a quick review of some
important things that transpired in the
Emission Inventory Branch in ole '91.
The Newsletter press run moved past
4000 copies, the CHIEF bulletin board
began, AP-42 Supplement D was
printed, and several emission factor and
inventory guidance documents were
published. And as detailed below, EIB
has used modern electronic
prestidigitation to put many thousands
of pages of guidance material onto one
neat 12 cm plastic disk, the Air
CHIEF CD-ROM. All these
documents are on the CHIEF Bulletin
Board, too. Also, we began testing a
considerable number of source types,
such as wood products and crushed
stone, to get data for developing new
emissions factors, especially for
priority data gaps in the AP-42 series.
This testing will continue for some
time, and we expect it to bear fruit in
1992 in one of our largest projects, the
complete review and revision we've
begun of the AP-42 stationary source
volume.
We are always interested in the
needs of our readers and in your views
on the work we do here at the
Emission Inventory Branch. Write, E-
mail or call us with your questions,
suggestions and opinions, and share
what you know with the emission
factor and inventory community by
submitting articles to this Newsletter.
The deadline for the next issue is 1
March. Thanks for all your help in
the past. <&

THE LOCATING AND ESTIMATING ... SERIES ON Toxic SUBSTANCES
Styrene Report Available —
EIB has recently produced another
report in its well-known "L&E" series
on toxic air pollutants, Locating And
Estimating Air Emissions From
Sources Of Styrene: Interim Report,
EPA-450/4-91-029. This report, the
24th in the series, is to assist in
locating possible sources of air toxics
and then making preliminary estimates
of the emissions produced by these
sources.
The Styrene report describes
processes, variations and release points
within these sources, along with
available emissions data and emission
factor estimates that indicate the
potential for the release of air toxic
compounds from styrene operations.
Overviews are also provided of
procedures for source sampling and
analysis of emissions from these
sources. The report is being released
as an interim document, pending
incorporation of further expected test
data. OAQPS's Emission Measure-
ment Branch, on behalf of EIB, is
currently testing several unsaturated
polyester resin fabricators of cultured
marble bathroom fixtures, and when
the results are available, a final report,
with these data, will be published.
Single copies of the report are
available from EPA Library at MD-35,
Research Triangle Park, NC, 27711 or
by calling (919) 541-2777 or (FTS)
629-2777. The report is also available
from the National Technical
Information Service (NTIS) for a fee,
NTIS stock no. PB92-126788.
A list of all the air toxic emission
reports in this series is included in our
brochure, "Tools For Estimating Air
Emissions Of Criteria And Toxic
Pollutants". For further information
on the Styrene report, or for copies of
the Tools brochure, contact Anne Pope
at the Newsletter, commercial phone
(919) 541-5373/FTS 629-5373.

Do YOUR DATA BITE?
{FACTS ABOUT AP-42 DATA QUALITY REQUIREMENTS }
How can you tell if your source
test data would be helpful in AP-42
section development? Of course, it
would be great if every emission factor
in AP-42 had our highest quality
rating, an "A". If we discarded all
information that is less than perfect,
we wouldn't need the A through E
quality rating system, but AP-42
would then be a much smaller book.
All data must pass common sense
and reasonableness tests. Beyond that,
here's what we scrutinize when
deciding what to use in an A rated AP-
42 section:
1) We must have full document-
ation of the process tested, the control
devices and their condition, the
equipment used to perform the test,
and load/operating rates;
2) The test methods must be
established and approved;
3) A formal quality assurance
program must have been in effect and
evidence provided on how it was
successfully followed; and
4) Information must be provided
on how representative the given
source is of the population.
The factor rating system we use is
discussed in more detail in the
introductory pages of AP-42 and in
EIB's procedures guidance document on
how to develop AP-42 sections. The
standards that tests must meet to gain
NEW INVENTORY GUIDANCE
an "A" rating are tough. For many
source categories, there may be few
available data of such quality, or none,
yet AP-42 users still need the
information. In these cases, the above
criteria become a "low hurdle". Less
formalized and stringently documented
data may still be found useful for
approximations, and the quality ratings
then assigned will be commensurate
with the quality of the input
information. We still need to hear
from anyone having possibly useable
emissions data. If you have questions
on specific data criteria, please contact
someone on the EFMS staff here at
the Newsletter. &
EIB's Inventory Guidance And
Evaluation Section and the National
Air Data Branch announce the
publication of the National Air
Pollutant Emission Estimates, 1940 -
1990, EPA-450/4-91-026, November
1991. This year's report contains
several useful innovations. Because of
a new method for making early
estimates, the report is appearing
considerably ahead of schedule. Also,
it now features emission projections to
the years 2000 and 2010 for SOX,
NO,, NMOCs and CO. Trends are
shown by EPA Region, disaggregated
from national values. And the report
now conveys fugitive PM-10
information from agricultural tilling,
construction activity, mining and
quarrying, paved and unpaved roads,
and wind erosion. Beginning with this
-------
volume, EIB takes up the
responsibility for producing these
annual publications. For more
information, contact Mary Ann
Stewart at the Newsletter, commercial
phone (919) 541-4340/FTS 629-4340.
Also now available is
Atmospheric Monitoring Site
Selection - Procedures Development
Project Plan, which describes the
techniques to be investigated in
developing more efficient use of
emissions data when choosing
locations for ambient air monitors.
Using emissions data in conjunction
with existing ambient air information
should enhance our ability to select
sites that will properly reflect exposure
changes both for humans and for
ecosystems. It follows that these
better sites should then demonstrate
the effects of the emission reductions
which have been required by the Clean
Air Act Amendments.
The product of this effort will be a
set of procedures involving use of
emissions data, air concentration data,
and computer visualization techniques
to assist in locating/relocating ambient
air monitoring sites. For more
information on this effort, contact
Steve Bromberg at the Newsletter,
commercial phone (919) 541-
1000/FTS 629-1000. &
After 50 weeks of operation
(through December 1991), the CHIEF
BB has become a familiar source of
information and communication for
many of our readers. CHIEF now has
411 registered users, and incidence of
access has been as high as 250 per
week. We like to see these numbers
climb, since it's part of our job to
provide you with this information
Remember all of the good things
you can access and download from
CHIEF - All of the AP-42 stationary
source volumes, the updated versions
of SPECIATE and XATEF,
MOBILE4.1, the Surface
Impoundment Modeling System
(SIMS), previous numbers of this
CHIEF BULLETIN BOARD
Newsletter, the AIRS Facility
Subsystem Emission Factors
(AFSEF), E-mail, and others.
Planned for the BB soon are all of
the parts of AP-42 now undergoing
revision. Draft AP-42 sections will be
available to you as soon as they have
undergone internal review. We
encourage you to download these drafts
for perusal and then to let us have any
comments or reactions you have to
them. Keep in mind that they are still
drafts at this stage of things and could
be substantially changed before being
finally published.
Tell us what you think about the
BB — suggestions, comments, advice,
likes and dislikes, or anything else that
would help us make it more useful to
you. E-mail your comments to
EFMS through the CHIEF at (919)
541-5742 (300, 1200 or 2400
baud)/541-1447 (9600 baud).
To register, you must give
information to the system through a
series of steps. The system operator
(Sysop) then reviews the information
to safeguard against unauthorized
users. Upon Sysop approval, usually
the next working day, full access to
the system is allowed. For further
information, contact Michael Hamlin
at EIB, commercial phone (919)
541-5232/FTS 629-5232. A
EIB RELEASES AIR CHIEF CD-ROM
EIB's newest emission estimating
product, the Air CHIEF Compact
Disk-Read Only Memory (CD-ROM),
is now available after months of
preparation. The Air CHIEF offers on
one small disk the literally thousands
of paper pages contained in some of
EPA's most widely used and asked for
documents. Air CHIEF contains:
— the entire contents of the AP-42
series,
— all of the Locating And
Estimating... reports,
— the VOC/PM Speciation data base
management system, SPECIATE, and
— the Crosswalk/Air Toxic Emission
Factor data base system, XATEF.
Air CHIEF is a powerful data
retrieval tool. It's designed to allow
easy access and retrieval of emission
estimation data, by pollutant or source
description, and it can be scanned and
searched in fine detail. Information
searches can be very broad or tightly
focused. For example, coal
combustion is mentioned in about
2000 "records", or places, on the disk.
Asking specifically for arsenic from
bituminous coal combustion in utility
boilers will lead the user to 8 records.
Also, all chemical elements and
compounds mentioned on the CD that
have Chemical Abstract Services
numbers can be scanned and searched.
Air CHIEF and its user's manual
will be updated annually, beginning in
Spring 1992. Single copies of the CD
can be obtained by writing Anne Pope
at the Newsletter. Shortly after the
Spring '92 revision, Air CHIEF will
be available through the Government
Printing Office (GPO). GPO expects
to vend the disk for about $13.00, a
noticeable economy over buying paper
copies of it all (-$900.00).
Users need an IBM'™' compatible
personal computer with EGA or VGA
monitor, MS-DOS™ version 3.0 or
later, 640 KB of free RAM, 2 MB
expanded memory, a CD-ROM drive,
interface card, and Microsoft DOS CD-
ROM Extensions (MSCDEX). Users
can help by sending any comments or
suggestions regarding Air CHIEF to
Anne, here at the Newsletter. <&>

NEW VERSIONS OF XATEF AND SPECIATE
Version 1.4 of SPECIATE, the
VOC/PM Speciation data base
management system, and Version 1.2
of XATEF, the Crosswalk/Air Toxic
Emission Factor data base
management system, are both now
available. These systems are for use
on an IBM(TM) compatible personal
computer. Each system is distributed
on one 5.25" high density disk, and
both may be downloaded from the
CHIEF Bulletin Board.
SPECIATE contains 700 species
profiles, for both volatile organic
compounds (VOC) and paniculate
matter (PM). By applying the species
profiles to either total VOC or PM
emission estimates, then either the
weight percentage of specific VOCs or
the elemental composition of PM can
be estimated for the source categories
covered in the manual. SPECIATE
presents data by compound and by
source category, and the data base is
updated annually. The Volatile
Organic Compound (VOC)IParticulate
Matter (PM) Speciation Data System
User's Manual, Version 1.4, EPA-
450/4-91-027, accompanies the disk
and explains the uses and limitations
of the data and the use of the data
management software.
SPECIATE users will need an
IBM*™ compatible personal computer
with MS-DOS*™) version 3.0 or later,
640 KB free RAM, a fixed disk with at
least 8 MB of storage, and a high
density 5.25" second disk drive.
XATEF contains toxic air
pollutant/source crosswalk data and air
toxic emission factors. The crosswalk
data identify the types of compounds
that may be emitted from a source
category. Crosswalk indicates the
possible pollutant/source associations,
based on literature information,
existing inventories and other available
data. The crosswalk data in XATEF
include pollutant names, CAS
numbers, Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) codes, and
emitting Source Classification Codes
(SCC). XATEF also contains 7600
emission factor citations for over 300
compounds and more than 500 source
categories. The data base is updated
annually. The Crosswalk/Air Toxic
Emission Factor Data Base
Management System User's Manual,
Version 1.2, EPA-450/4-91-028,
accompanies each disk and explains the
uses and limitations of the data and the
use of the data management software.
XATEF users will need an
IBMt™) compatible personal computer
with MS-DOS™ version 3.0 or later,
640 KB free RAM, a fixed disk with at
least 20 MB of available storage, and a
high density 5.25" extra disk drive.
Both of these systems are designed
for easy access and retrieval of
emission estimation data, by pollutant
or source description. The purpose of
XATEF and SPECIATE is to assist
air pollution control agencies and
others who are interested in locating
potential sources of air toxics and in
making preliminary estimates of the
emissions from these sources.
XATEF and SPECIATE are
available to government agencies and
by contacting Anne Pope at the
Newsletter. Both systems can also be
downloaded from the CHIEF Bulletin
Board. SPECIATE and XATEF soon
will be available through the National
Technical Information Service (NTIS)
for a fee. No NTIS stock numbers
have yet been assigned to them.
For further information, contact
Anne Pope at the Newsletter. <&>
DIRECT ASSISTANCE To STATES IN PREPARING 1990 Os/CO INVENTORIES
EIB has issued a Work
Assignment to provide direct
assistance to state and local agencies as
they prepare their 1990 O3/CO
inventories. This effort will make
assistance available in the use of EPA
software, emission inventory
techniques, emission factor selection,
and general problem solving, and it
can be in the form of telephone contact
or direct onsite assistance. The EPA
Regional Offices are coordinating this
support for each of their States. The
CHIEF Bulletin Board will be used to
share information of general interest
that may be useful, and all state and
local agencies are encouraged to check
CHIEF regularly for the latest
information on preparing 1990
inventories for ozone and carbon
monoxide. For more details on
contractor assistance with the
inventories, contact Sharon Bruno
here, commercial phone (919) 541-

QMS NONROAD EMISSION INVENTORY
REPORT is PUBLISHED
The EPA Office of Mobile
Sources (QMS) has released its
November 1991 Nonroad Engine And
Vehicle Emission Study - Report,
which gives emission inventories for
24 geographic areas in the country,
with discussion of how the inventories
were derived. These inventories
showed much larger contributions
from nonroad sources than expected,
and OMS is working on new proposed
regulations for some of these sources.
The 24 areas are:
Atlanta, GA MSA
Baltimore, MD MSA
Baton Rouge, LA MSA
Boston-Lawrence-Salem-Lowell-
Brockton, MA NECMA
Chicago-Gary-Lake County IL-IN-
WI CMSA

San Diego, CA Air Basin
San Joaquin, CA Air Basin
Seattle-Tacoma, WA CMSA
South Coast, CA Air Basin
Spokane, WA MSA
Springfield, MA NECMA
Washington, DC-MD-VA MSA
The inventories for these 24 areas
will be slightly revised by OMS, to
exclude the portions which are in
attainment of ozone and carbon
monoxide standards (as listed in the
November 6, 1991 Federal Register
notice titled "Designation Of Areas
For Air Quality Planning Purposes").
The New York area will probably be
the first area examined.
OMS also is developing specific
nonroad inventories for all serious and
above ozone (0.160 ppm and greater),
and for all moderate-2 and above CO
(12.8 ppm and above) nonattainment
areas. These new inventories can be
incorporated into the areas' 1990
inventories with little effort. General
guidance will also be developed on
how to compile nonroad inventories
for other areas. For further
information on these matters, contact
Greg Janssen at OMS, commercial
phone (313) 668-4285/FTS 374-8285.

NOTES ....
36 — Surface Coal Mining - Section 234 of the 1990 CAAA requires that emission factors and models applicable to
surface coal mining activities be reviewed and revised, to assure that they don't overpredict emissions. EIB, with the Source

— BIB'S SUPER TEES! —
The Baddest Around,
Exhorting The 1992 Call To Arms
At the EPA/AWMA Emission Inventory
Specialty Conference last September, keynote speaker
John Seitz, Director of the Office Of Air Quality
Planning And Standards, made specific mention of the
tee shirts being sported by members of the Emission
Inventory Branch. EIB's slogan, 1992 - EPA
Year Of The Emission Inventory, is
emblazoned in white on the navy blue shirts, to
denote the enhanced priority and focus on the
emission inventory program this year.
There have been inquiries about the great EIB tee
shirt, and people are talking, so here it is!
It goes equally well in a paper mill or an art
gallery! For further information, contact the
