into a grid coordinate system and the ~ilission quantities were reported
in terms of tons of pollutant per grid on an average annual day, average
summer day, and average winter day.
.'"
The pollutants considered in this survey are sulfur oxides, parti-
culates, .and carbon monoxide.
The emissions of other pollutants were
, '. not estimated due to a limrt'at'ion of time, personnel, and available data.
Data presented herein are representative of 1967 and were mainly gathered
by the acknowledged State and local agencies.
'.
STUDY AREA
The Study Area, as presented in Figure 1, consists' of the City and
'"
, .
County of Denver, and the Counties of Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Jefferson,
Larimer, and Weld.
This area occupies lO~305 square miles and contains
an estimated 1967 population of 1,235,000.
Table 1 shows the land areas
and the 1960 and 1967 populations for each of the major political
jurisdictions.
Approximately 63% of the State population resides in this area which
comprise$ about 10% of the land area of the State.

The Colorado Springs ~~~A is located approximately 68 miles South of
Denver.
Due to the direction of prevailing winds and tbe sheltering effect
of the foothills bet'.,reen the metropolitan areas, Colorado Springs "las

Most of the Study Area is situated east of the foothills of the'Rocky
Hountains.
This area is fairly level with an elevation of 5,000 to 5,500
feet above mean sea level.
The foothills are located 18 miles west of
. Denver and rise from the plateau area to greater: .,than 13,000 feet, in the
main ranges, along the western extremities of the Study Area.
Denver,
itself, is approximately 40 miles east of the main range of the Rocky
M . 3
ounta1ns .
Grid Coordinate System
For the purposes of this survey, the Study Area was divided into 81
grids based on latitude and longitude.
Five grid sizes of 2 minute, 4 min-
ute, 8 minute, 16 minute, and 32 minute grids were utilized depending upon
,;
the extent of urbanization of the area.
Figure 2 indicates the grid
system used for reporting the emissions.
In those cases where sections
of outlying counties are omitted, the air pollutant emissions arc consid-
ered negligible.
Sm~~RY OF PillSULTS
The estimated annual emissions of the three surveyed pollutants, in
the Study Area, are 31,400 tons ?f sulfur oxides, 33,400 tons of particulates,

emission rate of particulates and carbon monoxide. and Adams County the
highest emission rate of sulfur oxides.
Table 3 lists the breakdo~~ of pollutant emissions by source cate-
gory in the Study Area.
The following is a brief summary of pollutant
emissions and sources:
(1)
Of the 31,'tOO tons of sax emit ted annually. 67% originate from
fuel combustion sources, 28% from industrial process losses, and
5% from mobile sources.
The contribution from solid waste dis-
---.. - - .
posal is negligible.
The combustion of coal, mainly in steam
electric power plants, produces 62% of'the total sulfur oxides
,in the areq..
(2)
Particulate emissions from fuel combustion contribute 54%,
solid waste disposal 4%, industrial process losses 27%, and
, .
mobile sources 15% of the 33,400 tons of particulates emitted
in the Study Area.
"The combustion of coal produces 50% 'of the
total particulate endssions.
(3)
Mobile sources contribute 94% of the 616,000 tons of CO emitted
/
per year.
Other sources are the combustion of fuels in station-
ary sources which contribute less than 1%, solid waste disposal
1%, and industrial process losses 4%.

In the following sections, each of the categories is discussed and a
summary of the resulting emissions is presented.
Fuel Combustion in Stationary Sources
Although all of the three major fuels are consumed within the Study
Area, natural gas is by far the most important. In 1967, natural gas

accounted for 110 x 1012 BTUs or approximately 63 percent of the total
energy input.
.'
As sho~~ in Table 4, approximately 2,330,000 tons of coal,
210,000 barrels of residual fuel oil, 350,000 barrels of distillate fuel
'oil and 131.2 billion cubic feet of natural gas were consumed in the Study
. Area.
~1ereas the coal and natural gas consumption data. are fairly
accurate, the fuel oil data is a rough estimate, based partially on 1962
d t 4,5
a a .
Much of the difficulty with respect to defining fuel oil use
data is due. to the fact that oil, especially residual fuel oil, is used
as standby fuel for interruptible gas consumers.
Because of variability /
in climatic conditions, the annual consumption of fuel oil may therefore
vary
significantly from one year to the next.
The sulfur and ash contents of the fuels used in the Study Area are
summarized in Table 5.
The sulfur contents of both coal and fuel oil are
relatively 1m...,
There are five steam - electric generating plants Hithin the Study
'Area.
Fuel combustion for each of these is summarized in Table 6.
These
. plants used 85% of the total coal consumed in the Study Area.

The primary fuel used by industry is natural gas.
Except for a few
large consumers of coal and fuel oil, these fuels. are used primarily for
standby purposes.
Six plants collectively consumed over 170,000 tons of
coal or 747. of the total coal used in all industrial operations.
Fuel use
in the co~nercial and institutional category is not well defined.
Here
again, interruptible gas supplemented by fuel oil-residual and distillate.
is used.
The largest knO\m users of the heavy fuels are public schools
(4,000 tons of coal), Lowry Air Force Base (14,000 tons of coal) and the
Federal Center (24,000 tons of coal),
~""
Close to 100 percent of the residences in the urbanized portion of
the Study Area are ~erved by natural gas.
The outlying areas as well as
major housing developments throughout the Area are .partially heated by
distillate fuel oil and to lesser extent - by coal.
An estimated 270,000
"barrels of fuel oil and 20,000 tons of coal are used for these purposes.

Emissions from Fuel Combustion
The air pollutant emissions resulting from fuel.combustion in station-
ary sources are listed ~n Table 7.
The emissions are presented for
.."
industrial, commercial and institutional, residential., and steam-electric
utility sources.
Although the combustion of coal accounts for 357. of the BTU comSUDp-
tion within the Studv Area, coal contributes 94% of the SO , 927. of the
.. . x
particulates, and 98% of the CO resulting from the combustion of fuels.
The majority of these emissions are isolated in a fe,~:large fuel consumers

The co~bustion of fuels, m~inly coal, in the five steam-electric
'--
,.
utilities accounts for 48% of the SOx and 177. of the particulates generated
in the Study Area.
The particulate contribution is low since the majority
of the plants have electrostatic precipitators.
The emissions resulting from the combustion of fuel oil and natural
gas are minor compared to tnat from coal combustion.
A unique problem is
the 550 tons per year of sulfur oxides resulting from the burning o.f surplus
mustard gas at one of the federal facilities in Adams County.

~nsportation
Three ty~es of transportation sources of air pollution are considered
"

in this survey - motor vehicles; aircraft, and railroads.
The emissions
caused by the operation of motor vehicles is furtner subdivided according
to type of fuel - gasoline or diesel.
Motor Vehi.cles
On the basis of gasoline sales data, it is estimated that approximately
~ 10 11
~7S million gallons of gasoline' were sold in the Study Area during
1967.
Gasoline sales and automobile registrations by major political sub-
divisions are presented in Table 8.
The total of 475 million gallons
includes both hig}nvay and non-high~.;ray uses.
Because the non~highway uses
account for only S to 7 percent, they were considered together ~.;rith the
high~vay uses.
Approximately 1.S to 2.0 percent of gasoline is lost through evapora-
tion resulting in annual losses of about 9.S'million gallons.
The
consumption of gasoline by political subdivisions is presented in Table 9.
The apportionment of gasoline consumption ,vas accomplished on the basis of
traffic. information (vehicle miles) obtained from the Colorado State
Department of Highways.12
An estimated 24.5 million gallons of diesel fuel is burned by buses
/
and trucks, operating or passing through the Study Area.
This accounts
. for approximately 40 percent of the total amount of diesel fuel consumed
in the State of Colorado.
The overall estimate as well as the apportion-
ment by counties is based on registration data12 of diesel powered
vehicles in these areas.

County are the three major airports in the Study Area.
The air traffic
. .
activity by type of operation at both of these locations is summarized in
Table' 10.
Collectively, a total of 742,000 operations (take off and
landing) Here performed during 1967.
According to local FAA representa-
~ives, about 70% of air carrier flights and 50 percent of the military
flights were due to jet powered aircraft.
Railroads
Railroads conSU!:1C about 5.5 million gallons of diesel 011 annually
within the Denver area.
This value was. derived from an estimate made in
19623.

Emissions from Transportation.Sources
Mobile sources account for 1,600 tons of SOx, 5,000 tons of Particu-
lates, and 576,000 tons of CO in the Study Area.
Approximately 94% of the
sulfur oxides, 72% of the particulates, and 98% of the CO from mobile sources
are attributed to motor vehicles. As shown in Table.ll, the largest
concentration of. pollutants is located in the counties surrounding Denver
and the least concentration in the outlying jurisdictions.
/
. Gasoline powered automobiles and trucks collectively account for 67%,
64%, .and 99% respectively, of the 1,500tons of SOx' 2,600 tons of Parti-:-
culates, and 576,000 tons of CO emitted annually by motor vehicles.
The
remainder is attributed to diesel powered trucks and buses.
The emissions from railroads in the Denver area are negligible.
Most of these emissions are concentrated along the South Platte River.
Aircraft activities account for more than 1,100 tons of particulates
and 11,500 tons of CO annually in the Study Area.

Solid - Waste Disuosa1
,
Approximately one million tons of combustible refuse are generated
annually within the Denver Study Area.
The bulk of this refuse is
collected and disposed of by means of modified sanitary land fills, which
.' rarely become a source of air pollution.
According to a survey conducted
by the U.S. Public Health Service in 196713, about 870,00~ tons or 'almost
90 percent, are disposed of in this manner.
The remainder, as shmm in
Table 12, is either composted, incinerated, or burned openly indlli~ps and
on-site.
There are no municipal incinerators !n the Study Area.
Open
burning is prevalent only in the two rural counties -Larimer and Weld,
where some 80,000 tons of refuse are burned annually.
There are no major individual sources of refuse burning in the Study
Area.
The burning of refuse in dumps is spread amoung 20 locations ,,,ith
yearly burning ranging from 30 tons to 3,000 tons.
These, although not
considered as point sources, were identified and located within the grid
system.
The burning of automobile components has been a localized nuisance /
. in the past.
This practice is presently banned and is no longer a problem
in the Study Area.
Emissions from
Solid - Waste Disposal
A total of 50 tons of sax, 1,300 tons of particulates, and 9,800 tons
of CO are emitted annually from solid \"aste disposal practices.
The break-
down of emissions is presented in Table 13.
The majority of emissions are
due to on-site incineration 8n4 backyard burning of refuse in Denver and

Industrial Process Losses
Table 14 presents the number and type of selected manufacturing'
establishments in the Study Area.
Although the Study Area is notably void
of any large heavy industrial complexes, it does contain a significant
"number of industries that generate air pollution emissions from their
. processes.
These include some 30 foundries, a cement plant, 2 refineries,
10 asphalt batching and roo~ing p1~nts, 6 sand and gravel operations, 13
grain storage and processing facilities, a sulfuric acid manufacturing
plant, 6 sugar producing' plants and a number of-miscellaneous operations.
t.Jhere adequate, informat.ion was available, el.1iss~on estimates ,,,ere made and
are included in this survey.
As is the case in any emission inventory,
the lack ofemissionc factors15 for some industrial processes did not allow
a complete estimation of process emissions.
There are 14 iron and steel foundries and 16 non-ferrous foundries
operating in the Study Area.
Based on a 5-day week, an estimated 500 tons
. of metal per day are produced in the ferrous foundries.
The distribution
of production by type.of furnace and air pollution control equipment is
/
summarized in Table 15.'
Seven asphalt batching plants produce approximately 890,000 tons of
asphalt per year.
The plants range in size from 50,000 to 400,000 tons per
year.
All of the plants are equipped with air pollution cont!ol devices,
primarily cyclone separators and scrubbers.
Three asphalt roofing plants
bave a collective production rate of 37,000 tons per year.
The t\'l0 largest
plants (31,000 tons per year) are equipped ,wit!l scrubbers, whereas the

A portland cement plant lobated in Larimer County produces 1,430
tons of cement per day by the dry process.
The rotary driers are equipped
with ,fabric baghouses and the clinker kilns are equipped ,.,ith cyclones and
electrostatic precipitators.
Six sand and gravel operations produce a total of 1,300 tons of
aggrcgate per day.
Much of the crushing, screening aDd handling activi-
ties are controlled by baghouse and cyclone collectors.
T\-1O petroleum refineries and a small re-refining operation are
located in Adams County.
The two refineries have a collective throughput
rate of 33,000 barrels per day of sweet crude and 3,500 barrels per day
of asphalt crude.
The sulfur content of the crude oil is approximately
0.3%.
, .
The operation at both of these plants includes vacuum di.stillation,
catalytic cracking, and reforming.
The comb-ined catalytic cracking rate
is about 14,800 barrels per day fresh feed. One of these uses a Thermofor
unit ",hereas the other employs a fluid catalytic cracker.
The Denver Metropolitan Area is a major grain handling, processing
and storage center.
There are 13 major grain handling and storage
,,'
establishments located in the Study Area.
In addition to handling and
,~toring, five of these establishments have milling facilities.
Table 16
presents the annual storage as 'veIl as milling capacities by type of grain.
Hore than 50 million bushels of grain, primarily corns miio and wheat,
were handled during 1967.

A fertilizer pla~t in
Boulder operates for a period of 4 months producing 50 tons per day.
Among the other types of industries located in the Study Area are
six beet sugar plants, several lumber and paperboard Dills, and numerous
fabricated metal shops.
The six beet sugar plants located in Adams,
Larimer, and Held Counties process more than 8,500 tons per day during
seasonal peak.
There are numerous establishments in the Study Area that manufacture
or utilize organic solvents in their operations.
These include dry clean-
-,'
ing plants, paint shops, wood preservative operations, and printing and
publishing establishments.
The hydrocarbons generated by these establish-
ments have not been included in this study,
Emissions from Industrial Process Losses
Air pollutants from industrial process losses account for 8,800 tons
of the SOx, 8,900 tons of the particulates, and 24,700 tons of the CO emitt-
ed annually in the Study Area.
The breakdovm of emissions by industry
. types is shown in Table 17.
;'
The two petroleum refineries in the Study Area generate 77% of the
sulfur oxides emitted by process loss sources.
Approximately four-fifths
of this is due to the burning of plant fuel containing hydrogen sulfide.
Two chemical plants producing sulfur and sulfuric-acid account for the
remainder of the SOx emissions.
The storage and processing of grain in the Study Area account for 57%
of the particulates from process losses.
Although most of the plants are
equipped with cyclones, fine particles are released into the atmosphere.

EMISSIONS BY GRIDS
For the purpose of nJodeling the air pollutant emissions in the Study
Area, the resulting emissions are apportioned on the gri~ coordina'te
system.
Sixteen point sources of SOx, 15 point sources of particulates,
and 2 point sources of CO are identified individually ,~ith respect to
location and' emissions.
The emissions for SOX) ,particulates , and CO are
presented in Tables l8A and l8B as average summer day, average winter day,

Fuel combustion was aivided into space
heating and constant emissions.
Space heating was apportioned on the basis
of degree day variations.
-Residential emissions were assumed to occur through-
out the year.
Unless specific data was obtained from individual sources,
industrial, commercial, and institutional sources were assumed to operat~
from 250 to 310 days per year.
