For areas that do not currently have a validated travel
demand model, short term VMT projections may be based on the
Federal Highway Administration's Highway Performance Monitoring
System (HPMS) (U.S. DOT, 1987). Also, EPA guidance allows the
states to use any reasonable method to project VMT growth outside
the domain of the travel demand model and/or HPMS reporting area.
HPMS was developed in the 1970s for monitoring highway
conditions, and is a continuing data base that can be .used to
determine future needs . Data are submitted annually by the
states (via their highway agencies) according to roadway
functional class. HPMS is of interest to EPA because it will be
the basis for estimating base year VMT and then for tracking
historical changes in VMT with time.
Areas that only need to project VMT through 1995 or 1996 are
allowed to use a simple, historically based extrapolation method,
if a better method is not locally available. Because, in
general, economic factors influence VMT, areas making projections
beyond 1995 or 1996 should include economic variables in their
land use and transportation network travel demand models.
b. Trend Procedures
One example of an acceptable procedure for Estimating future
year VMT, in situations for which travel demand models are not
available or required (such as nonattainment area rural fringes
not covered by HPMS or a network model) , is to apply a trend
projection method. This can be done by quantifying road mileage
and associated VMT (stratified by county, rural/urban area, and
roadway functional class) , and using the relationship between
road mileage and VMT for historical years to estimate future year
VMT. The hypothesis underlying this technique is that for each
roadway functional class within a specified geographical area
that historical trends reasonably represent short-range future
growth .
A more detailed description of this trend projection method
follows. The first step is to estimate average annual traffic
growth rates for the HPMS classified system. To do this,
available HPMS sample panel data should be employed to estimate
average annual traffic growth rates by:
. • County
• Rural/urban designation/sample site
• Functional class
30
-------
Roadway functional classes are defined as follows:
Rural Urban
Interstate Interstate
Other Principal Arterial Other Freeways and Expwys
Minor Arterial Other 'Principal Arterial
Major Collector Minor Arterial
Minor Collector Collector
Local Local
[Readers interested in more details about roadway, functional
classifications should consult the Highway Capacity Manual
(1985).]
Growth rates should be estimated using a statistically sound
procedure to avoid biases that could result from the" higher
sampling rates in HPMS for higher volume facilities. A procedure
that could be used to estimate growth rates, with or without
expanded samples (samples in addition to those normally used in
HPMS reporting), is as follows:
1. Aggregate earlier year (1985 through 1990) mileage by
category.
2. Aggregate earlier year (1985 through 1990) VMT by
category.
3. Compute historical VMT per mile in each category from
step 1 and 2 results.
4. Compute VMT growth rates using an ordinary least squares
linear regression.
The second step, after the average annual HPMS growth rates
have been calculated, is to develop traffic volume growth rates
for the local street system, which is not covered by HPMS. It is
recommended that areas use sample data from the local traffic
counting program to estimate average annual traffic growth rates
by county, municipal/rural designation, central business
district/inner city/suburbs (for municipal streets), and
major/minor local street. It may be difficult to collect
sufficient samples from within the nonattainment area. (Data
from similar counties within the state may be used.) The exact
procedure will depend on data availability.
Step three is to estimate base year VMT per mile for the
HPMS classified system. To do this, base year VMT per mile can
be obtained for each category from sample HPMS data. To ensure
that the procedure being used is statistically sound, comparisons
should be made with national estimates by urban area size group.
31
-------
For local street VMT per mile estimates, it is important
that the samples used represent the range of volumes on local
streets.
Step four is to estimate base and future year road mileage.
Base year mileage for the HPMS classified system can be obtained
from HPMS. Generally, unless additions a-re planned, future year
road mileage is the same. Base year mileage in each local system
category should be obtained from municipalities. Significant
additions to this mileage can be expected in the future for
suburban municipal streets, and possibly rural streets.
Subtractions may be needed in cases where local streets are
upgraded to higher functional classifications.
The final step is estimating future VMT. Base year VMT is
estimated by category as base mileage * VMT per mile. Growth in
VMT is estimated by category as future mileage * VMT per mile *
linear growth rate * number of years. Future VMT is obtained by
category as base VMT plus VMT growth. Areawide future VMT is
estimated by adding the totals of all categories.
Tables III.4 and III.5, along with Figure III.l, provide a
practical example using the trend projection techniques described
above. Table III.4 presents an example of historical data for
the five most recent calendar years by roadway functional class.
Urban functional classes are listed. Similar data should be
compiled for rural functional classes. Table III.5 presents the
corresponding data for road mileage (by urban functional system).
The data in these two tables are then used to compute the ratio
of annual VMT to road mileage for each year and roadway
functional class. Illustrative ratios computed from the data in
Tables III.4 and III.5 are shown in Figure III.l.
Because there is significant variability in the relationship
between VMT and road mileage from one area to another, each
nonattainment area must use data specific to the geographic area
of interest when applying this procedure.
c. Vehicle Registration Distributions
EPA's mobile source emission factor models that pre-dated
MOBILE 4.1 contained default vehicle registration mixes (vehicle
registrations by model year). These values are represented in
MOBILE4, for instance, as registration distribution fractions.
Registration distribution fractions represent the percentage of
vehicles registered from each model year, making up the entire
vehicle fleet for a given calendar year and vehicle type. These
registration distributions are then used, in turn, to develop
travel weighting fractions. Travel weighting fractions are the
model year by model year percentages of total travel within each
vehicle type.
For preparing 1990 (base year) modeling inventories, EPA is
requiring that local registration data be used to establish

registration distributions for each vehicle type in MOBILE4.1.
(Heavy-duty diesel vehicles may be an exception because so much
of heavy-duty diesel truck travel is long haul traffic, and local
registrations by county or MSA may not be an accurate, or
statistically significant, indicator of travel in an area.
National distributions may be better for HDDVs.) Note that
MOBILE4.1 assumes that registration distributions reflect the
vehicle population operating on July 1. Care should be taken to
remove duplicate vehicles from the registration data in compiling
the registration distribution. R.L. Polk, Inc. provides this
service commercially.
Table III.6 illustrates a methodology that may be followed
for projecting vehicle registration fractions from a 1990 base
year for input into the MOBILE emission factor model. This
analysis, which is amenable to using a spreadsheet, shows how a
1996 ozone .(July) projection for light-duty gasoline vehicles .
would be made for a sample area. Parallel methods may be used
for other vehicle types or other projection years. The
information in the box below indicates the most important
information needed for estimating future vehicle registration
distributions.
INFORMATION NEEDED FOR REGISTRATION
DISTRIBUTIONS
1990 vehicle registrations by model year (derived from
local data)
January 1 or July 1 survival rates by model year
An estimate of post-1990 model year vehicle
registrations
The first column (A) of Table III.6 shows the model years
included in the 1990 calendar year registration distribution.
(Note that registration data from 25 model years should be used
for MOBILE4.1 and its successors, while MOBILE4 required the use
of only 20 model years.) Column B shows the number of vehicles
registered on July 1, 1990, by model year, which would have been
input to MOBILE4.1 to produce a 1990 inventory. These should be
local registration data, rather than the default registration
data often used in developing inventories for previous base
years. Information on registration by model year may be obtained
from the state's Department of Motor Vehicles. The age of
vehicles from each model year, as of July 1, 1990, is listed in
column C.
Data on vehicle survival rates are needed to estimate the
number of vehicles registered in 1990 that will still be in
operation in the projection year. The survival rate is defined
as the probability that a vehicle will be in operation at any
given year of age. In contrast, the scrappage rate is defined as
the probability that a vehicle that has reached a given age will

be scrapped within a year. For the vehicle registration
projections described here, only survival rates are used.
Survival rates for automobiles, all trucks, and light trucks were
researched by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory for vehicles from
0 to 25 years old (Miaou, 1990) . Survival rates will change
somewhat over time, as well as by area. Factors influencing
these rates include climate, vehicle construction, and economic
conditions. Because of these local differences, state or
regional survival rates should be used if they are available, but
the derivation and source of these local rates must be thoroughly
documented. One method of estimating local survival rates is to
track vehicle identification numbers through an operating I/M
program over the years the program has been in operation. Such a
method, however, must allow for the transition of vehicles into
and out of the area.
Since the car model year begins October 1, rather than July
1, the base survival rates must be adjusted to reflect the
survival rates on July 1. The July survival rate for a car of
age n (JSRn) can be calculated as follows:
JSRn = BSR^ - (BSRn., - BSRJ * 0.75
The terms BSRn and BSRn_3 are the base (October 1) survival rates
for vehicles of age n and n-1, respectively. For a CO
nonattainment analysis, 0.25 should replace 0.75 in the equation
above. Since the truck model year begins January 1, no
adjustment to the base survival rates needs to be made for a CO
nonattainment analysis, but the 0.75 in the equation above should
be replaced with 0.5 for an ozone nonattainment analysis.
To determine the number of vehicles in a given model year
that have survived from 1990 to the projection year, given a 1990
registration distribution, the survival rate for a vehicle of age
n in the projection year should be divided by the survival rate
for a vehicle of age n-6. (For projection years other than 1996,
replace 6 with the number of years from 1990 to the projection
year.) For example, a 1987 model year car. will be 4 years old in
July 1990 and 10 years old in 1996, so the probability that the
car will survive from 1990 to 1996 is 0.6965/0:9712, or 71.7
percent. The age of each pre-1991 model year car on July 1,
1996, is listed in column E, while column F shows the July 1990
to 1996 survival rates. The number of cars in each model year
surviving to the projection year was calculated in column G by
multiplying the survival rates of column F by the corresponding
1990 registrations shown in column B.
The number of 1990 model year cars registered in 1996, as
shown in column G, is greater than the number of cars registered
in 1990, shown in column B. This occurs because the entire 1990
model year fleet has not been sold and registered by July 1.
Therefore, a projection of the total number of 1990 model year
cars should be made before multiplying by the 1990 to 1996
survival rate in column F.
38
-------
When projecting the registration distribution to 1996, all
vehicles from the 1972 and earlier model years are aggregated in
the 25 year-or-older category. The total number of 1990
registrations for 1972 and earlier model years should be added
together before multiplying by the July 1990 to 1996 survival
rate. This aggregation is emphasized by the shading near the
bottom of the spreadsheet.
The model years included in the July 1, 1996 vehicle
registration calculation are listed in column H, with the age of
each model year car listed in column I. The shift from the 1990
base year to the 1996 projection year is illustrated with the
lines connecting columns G and H.
The registrations of column G for the pre-1991 model years
are repeated in column J, and the registrations for the 1991
through 1996 model years are added to the top of column J.
Projections of future model year new vehicle registrations can be
made assuming that annual percentage increases in new vehicle
sales will reflect the local annual percentage increases in VMT
(generally, about 2-3 percent per year).
The projections for this example indicate no increase in new
car registrations from 1989 to 1990, so the number of car
registrations for the 1989 model year in column B was divided by
the survival rate for a car of age 2 in column C and then
multiplied by the 1990 to 1996 survival rate for a vehicle aged 7
years in 1996 (from column F). This gives the estimated
passenger car registrations for the 1990 model year in 1996 (in
column G).
Once the local annual growth rates in new car registrations
have been established, the 1996 registrations for 1991 through
1996 model year cars can be estimated. The following equation
can be used to calculate the number of registrations in 1996 for
these cars:
Jn = (1 + %growth/100)*Jn+1*(Dn/Dn+1) '
J and D in this equation refer to the columns in Table III.6, n
is the vehicle age, and %growth is the annual percentage increase
in new car registrations for the applicable model year. The
final model year (1996 in this example) should be calculated in
the same way and then multiplied by 0.75 since only, three-
quarters of the 1996 model year cars are assumed to be registered
by July 1, 1996. The registration fractions shown in column K,
which are the necessary inputs for the MOBILE emission factor
model, were calculated by dividing each model year's July 1996
registrations from column J by the July 1996 registration total
shown at the bottom of column J.

2. Aircraft
Air travel has experienced strong growth in the past several
years, and that growth is expected to continue for the
foreseeable future. As a result, many existing airports are near
traffic capacity and others will reach their capacity limits in
the near future. This may cause air traffic at small feeder
airports and regional hubs to grow, while current hubs experience
additional congestion. Increased congestion increases taxi/idle
times (and emissions), but expanded use of smaller airports may
relieve some of this congestion.
EPA recommends that major commercial airports be queried
individually to determine their specific growth, plans {if any),
and suggests that thin information be incorporated in emission
projections. It is not recommended that national trends in
aircraft activity be used in urban scale analyses because growth
is likely to be site-specific. For example, older, urban area
airports such as Washington National are less likely to grow than
airports with newly expanded facilities such as Raleigh-Durham.
Projections of increased passenger miles may not be a good
indicator of future aircraft activity, as more passengers may be
accommodated by adding larger planes to the commercial fleet.
These larger planes may be more efficient and cleaner burning
than the smaller.planes they replace. Projections of landings
and take offs are needed.
3. Railroads
Potential growth in rail travel is a function of many
different variables, including competition with the trucking
industry. For any individual area, activity growth is related to
track density and expected operations. The best source of
information on likely changes during the projection period is the
railroads themselves, either the companies that operate in the
metropolitan area* or through the American Association of
Ra'ilroa'dsf T^e A^J--^^ Association of Railroads publishes
historical fleet statistics. These are of interest for
projections in cases where a short-term trend analysis is the
best indicator of future railroad activity.

contacting the Information and Public Affairs Department of the
Association of American Railroads, 50 F Street, NW, Washington,
DC, Telephone (202)639-2550.]
4. Gasoline Marketing
Expected growth in gasoline marketing activity is closely
tied to projected fuel consumption. A number of national fuel
consumption models have been developed over the years, and the
most recent results from those models can be used as indicators
of growth in activity for the variety of source types that
40
-------
constitute the gasoline marketing category. EPA's Office of
Mobile Sources has its own fuel consumption model, and it is
designed to be compatible with MOBILE4.1 and MOBILES. Table
III.7 lists the expected fleet fuel efficiency ratios by calendar
year for each gasoline vehicle class in MOBILE4.1, normalized to
1990. Total fuel consumed by gasoline vehicles is the sum of
that consumed by each gasoline vehicle class. That, in turn, is
the product of the number of vehicles in each class and the
average number of miles driven by those vehicles divided by the
average fuel economy (mpg) of those vehicles.
Forecast the amount of gasoline marketed by:
a. Estimating the amount of 1990 gasoline marketed by
vehicle class from available state and local sales
data.
b. Multiplying that amount by the appropriate fleet fuel
economy factors for the forecast year listed in Table
III.7. This product is the amount of gasoline that
would be marketed in that year in the absence of any
change in vehicle miles traveled (VMT).
c. Multiply the result obtained in (b) by. the anticipated
change in VMT from 1990 to the forecast year expressed
as a ratio of forecast year VMT/1990 VMT. This product
is the amount of gasoline marketed that includes both
fuel economy changes due to fleet turnover and changes
in the total number of vehicle miles traveled in the
area under consideration.

IV MEASURING THE EFFECTS OF CURRENT AND FUTURE CONTROLS
This chapter describes how ozone and CO nonattainment areas
can include the probable effects of current and future controls
on precursor emissions in their projections. The information
presented here is organized by pollutant/(VPC, NOX, and CO, in
that order) and by major emitting-source category for each. The
focus of the chapter is on new control initiatives spurred by the
CAAA. Because mobile source controls affect all three of the
pollutants of interest, they are discussed in a separate section.
A. VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
The discussion of CAAA requirements affecting VOC emissions
is organized according to the following:
(1) National stationary measures
(2) Motor vehicle measures
(3) Area-specific measures
(4) Discretionary measures
The first three types of measures are those considered mandatory
under the CAAA or other legislation, unlike discretionary
measures, which are elective, as explained below.
National stationary measures are those that affect all
sources nationwide, whether or not they are located in
nonattainment areas. Source categories affected by national
stationary measures in the CAAA or other legislation include the
following:
• Hazardous Waste Treatment Storage and Disposal Facilities
(TSDFs)
• Municipal Landfills
• Consumer/Commercial Solvents
• Architectural Coatings
• Marine Vessels (loading and unloading)
In modeling of the above categories, it can be assumed that
VOC emission reductions from all of these categories except
consumer/commercial solvents will have occurred by 1995.
Consumer product rules are scheduled to be issued in four 2-year
intervals beginning in the period from 1994 to 1995, and ending
in the period from 2000 to 2001.
Motor vehicle measures include a mix of national and area-
specific measures. National measures (those that affect all
areas) include gasoline Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) limits,
evaporative/running loss controls, tailpipe/extended useful life
standards, and onboard vapor recovery systems. Area-specific
measures include stage II (service station) controls, fleet clean
43
-------
fuels programs, and reformulated gasoline. (The only general
vehicle clean fuels program mandated is for California only.)
Reformulated gasoline is mandated in the nine cities with
the most severe ozone pollution beginning in 1995. Those cities
are listed in Table IV.1. States can elect to have the
requirements apply in other cities. ' •
Reformulated gasoline will be required to reduce VOC and
toxic emissions by 15 percent by 1995. Higher reductions (of 20
percent or more) are required by 2000.
The fleet vehicle clean fuels program is designed to include
areas in serious, severe, and extreme ozone nonattainment with
populations of at least 250,000 and areas with a CO design value
greater than or equal to 16.0 ppm with a population of at least
250,000. A list of the fleet clean fuels target areas are
included in Table IV. 1. Clean fuel vehicle phase-in requirements
for fleets are as follows:
Vehicle Type MY1998 MY1999 MY2000
LDVs and LDTs 30% 50% 70%
HDTs 50% 50% 50%
(Standards that must be met by clean fuel vehicles are
listed in Sec.. 243 of the CAAA.)
Area-specific measures include RACT for stationary sources
that emit at least 50 tons per year of VOC in serious ozone
nonattainment areas, with the cutoff dropping to 25 tons in
severe nonattainment areas, and to 10 tons in extreme
nonattainment areas (Los Angeles). Control technique guidelines
for VOC sources are to be issued for 11 stationary source
categories. These new CTGs are to be applied in moderate,
serious, severe, and extreme ozone nonattainment areas. Table
IV.2 lists the specific new CTGs that are expected as of this
writing. Table IV.3 lists existing CTGs applied in ozone
nonattainment areas. Table IV.4 lists VOC RACT controls applied
as listed above. Enhanced inspection and maintenance programs
are also required in the CAAA for serious, severe, and extreme
ozone nonattainment areas. Basic inspection and maintenance
(I/M) is to be required in moderate ozone nonattainment areas.
The other area-specific measures are those for attainment
areas within the ozone transport region. The ozone transport
region includes CT, DE, ME, MD, MA, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI, VT, and
the Washington, DC CMSA. Ozone transport region controls include
enhanced I/M (if the MSA population is 100,000 or more), existing
and new CTGs, RACT to greater than 50 tons per year VOC sources,
and .a study to determine whether stage II vehicle refueling
controls should be required.

Discretionary measures, as defined here, are measures that
areas might choose to undertake to supplement mandatory measures
(described above). Areas may chose additional measures in the
interest of reaching attainment or to meet progress requirements.
Depending on problem severity, ozone nonattainment areas must
attain the standards within 5, 10, 15, or 17 years (20 years for
Los Angeles). VOC emissions must be reduced by 3 percent per
year until the standard is attained. For the purposes of
attainment demonstrations, discretionary measures are important
to identify for areas not expected to meet the standard with
mandatory measures alone.
Table IV.5 summarizes all of the above for VOC emission
related Title I and II requirements of the CAAA. Dates when each
of these measures are scheduled to start affecting VOC emissions
are also listed in this table. [Appendix B of EPA's
"Implementation Strategy for the Clean Air Act Amendments of
1990" (U.S. EPA, 1991a) shows timelines for Titles I through IV
of the Amendments.]
Two parts of the nonattainment program that are difficult to
quantify, but which have an effect on future VOC emissions, are
offsets and new source review. Offsets differ for each category
(moderate, serious, etc.) of ozone nonattainment area.
Presumably, offsets either act to restrict growth in
nonattainment areas, or they force new emitters to assist
existing facilities in achieving emission reductions.
Title III of the CAAA calls for controls of many new toxic-
compound-emitting source categories. Most of these controls will
affect VOC emissions. From a modeling standpoint, the potential
reductions can be quantified by matching source categories to be
regulated with AIRS Facility Subsystem SCCs. The Emissions
Standards Division of OAQPS is responsible for developing a list
of potentially affected categories and associated emission
reductions.
There are also potential VOC reductions that will be
observed at companies that have agreed to make voluntary
reductions in their toxic emissions. These agreements were made
before the CAAA were passed, and are part of EPA's Early
Reduction Program, so it may be that reductions will be close in
magnitude to those that will now be required under Title III.
Each state agency with a nonattainment area needs to determine
whether there are firms in its area that are planning voluntary
reductions and what the timing of those reductions might be.
B. OXIDES OF NITROGEN
NOX emissions are also affected by the CAAA. Titles I
(Nonattainment), II (Motor Vehicles), and IV (Acid Rain) all come
in to play. Title I requires RACT on major stationary-source NOX
emitters in moderate, serious, severe, and extreme nonattainment

-------
areas, where the definition of major source is the same as it is
for VOC emitters. In addition, RACT is required for greater than
100 ton per year NOX sources in ozone transport regions. The
controls considered NOX RACT for prior CAA analyses, along with
estimated control efficiencies, are listed in Table IV.6. There
are increasingly stringent motor vehicle NOX emission standards
in Title II, which should provide significant reductions in
emissions for that sector. For example, thie 0.4 gram-per-mile
NOX emission standard for light-duty gas vehicles and light-duty
gas trucks begins to be phased in with 1994 model year vehicles,
and is fully phased in by the 1996 model year. Finally, utility
NOX emissions are affected by Title IV provisions.
1. Electric utilities
In addition to limiting the amount of SO2 emitted by
electric utilities, Title IV of the CAAA also limits the amount
of NOX emitted by electric utilities. The overall targeted NOX
reduction from Title IV, in combination with other provisions of
the Act, is approximately 2 million tons from 1980 emission
levels in the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia.
Unlike the SO2 control requirements of the CAAA, NOX utility
emissions are not capped; the Act only imposes emission rate
limits based on utility boiler type.
When projecting electric utility NOX emissions from a 1990
base year inventory,. emission estimates from existing units,
planned units, and new sources not yet in the planning stages
must all be compiled. Calculating future emissions from existing
sources involves determining: (1) state-level growth factor by
fuel type, (2) future year unit-level capacity factors, and (3)
new NOX control requirements from the CAAA, as well as any state-
or local-level control requirements. Calculating future
emissions from planned units includes the following steps: (1)
obtaining a listing of planned units, their capacities, and start"
dates, (2) determining the likely site for units with
undesignated locations, and (3). determining applicable defaults
for all of the unknown variables needed for the NOX emission
calculation. Finally, to calculate NOX emissions from any
additional generation requirements within the state, the
following steps must be followed: (1) determine the amount of
additional generation needed that will not be supplied by
existing or planned units., (2) determine the likely fuel mix to
be used, and (3) site the additional generation. These are
summarized in the chart on the page following Table IV.6.

ELECTRIC UTILITY NOX
PROJECTIONS SUMMARY
1. Estimate emissions from existing units:
- determine state-level growth factors
- estimate unit-level future year capacity factors
- determine unit-level NOX control requirements
2. Estimate emissions from planned units:
- obtain listing of planned units
- determine most likely siting for undesignated units
- determine applicable unit-level NOX emission rates
(and default data)
3. Estimate emissions from generic units:
- determine amount of additional generation needed (if any)
- estimate NOX emission rate
- determine siting for generic units
To project 1990 utility NOX emissions to a future year, the
expected growth in electricity generation at existing units from
1990 to the projection year must be determined. A state-level
growth factor can be calculated based on historical growth in
generation at existing utility units in the state, or from
estimates provided by utilities within the state. Growth factors
may differ for coal, oil, and gas-fired utility units. These
growth factors should be multiplied by each unit's 1990 capacity
factor (the ratio of, a unit's actual 1990 generation to the
potential generation if operated for 8,760 hours per year), to
produce a unit-specific capacity factor in the projection year.
If the calculated projection year capacity factor is greater than
0.80, 0.80 should be used as the projection year capacity factor,
unless the 1990 capacity factor also exceeds 0.80 (in which case
the 1990 capacity factor should be used in the projection year).
(Capacity factors for utility units are rarely above 0.8.) For
states with a growth factor of less than 1, the projection year
capacity factors will be less than the 1990 capacity factors.
Once the future year capacity factors for each existing unit
have been calculated, the most stringent of the Federal, state,
and local NOX emission rate requirements must be determined for
each unit. The.NOx emission control requirements of Title IV of
the CAAA become effective for a given unit when that unit becomes
an "affected" SO2 unit. Phase I affected SO2 units are those
that must apply SO2 controls beginning in 1995. These units,
which are specifically listed in the CAAA, are also listed in
Table A-2. The NOX control requirements (including the
compliance dates for these affected units) are as follows:
54
-------
Controlled NOX
Emission Rate Date of
Boiler Type (lb/106 Btu) - Compliance
Tangentially-fired 0.45 1/1/95
Dry Bottom Wall-fired 0.50 1/1/95
All Other Boiler Types 1.00 • 1/1/97
Using the emission rates listed above, the future year
capacity factor, the capacity, and the heat rate (the amount of
energy needed to produce a given unit output) of a given unit,
the projected NOX emissions can be calculated with the.following
equation:
Future NOX Controlled Capacity Future Heat Rate i
Emissions = NOX Rate * (MW) * Capacity * (Btu/kWh) * 4.38 * 10'6 Bti
(k tons/yr) (lb/106 Btu) Factor
The final term in this equation is a conversion factor that
converts the units used for the variables in the equation to a
resultant emissions figure in kilotons per year. Units for the
conversion factor are (kWh * k tons)/(MW * year * Ib).
Beginning in 2000, Phase II SO2 units (all utility boilers
not included in Phase I) become "affected." Therefore, the NOX
control requirements listed above will apply to all Phase II S02
units starting in the year 2000. In Phase I and Phase II, if the
current (1990) NOX emission rate for a unit is already below that
unit's control requirement, the 1990 emission rate should be
used.
Retirements of existing units must also be taken into
consideration. When information on the planned year of
retirement for a specific unit is not available, an assumption of
55 to 65 years in service is acceptable. The higher figure has
been used by EPA in a number of analyses of the CAAA to represent
a "high emissions case" for fossil fuel units, while 55 years has
been used to depict a "low emissions case" (ICF, 1990).
After NOX emissions from existing units have been
calculated, the next step is to estimate NOX emissions from
planned or announced units. Information on units that are
expected to begin operation over the next 10 years are published
annually in the "Inventory of Power Plants in the United States"
(DOE, 1991). [This publication is available from the
Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office --
see Reference section of this document.] The current listing of
units projected to begin operation from 1990 to 1999 from Table
21 of this publication is reproduced in Appendix A of this
report.
The NOX emission rate that applies to each new unit depends
on the start-up year and the fuel type, since the NOX regulations
55
-------
that apply to these units will either be the current New Source
Performance Standard (NSPS) or a more stringent NSPS, revised by
1994 as set forth in the CAAA. All NOX emission rate
requirements from the CAAA for utility boilers are listed in
Table IV.7. For these units, when no more detailed information
is available, a default capacity factor of 0.65 can be assumed
for a baseload unit, 30 percent for an intermediate load unit,
and 10 percent for a peaking unit. Default heat rates by unit
technology and fuel type can be found in EPRI's "Technical
Assessment Guide" (EPRI, 1986).
The information on announced units in the "Inventory of
Power Plants in the United States" (U.S. DOE, 1990) includes the
county that the unit will be located in, if this information is
known. When it is necessary to site an undesignated unit at the
county or MSA level, it can be assumed that the maximum new unit
generation that would be sited within a nonattainment MSA would
be used to compensate for units that were recently retired in the
MSA. Any additional new units, that do not have a county or MSA
designation, can be assumed to be sited outside of any
nonattainment MSAs.
The last step that must be taken is to determine whether the
generation supplied by existing and announced units will meet the
state's generation needs in the projection year. The total.
projected generation demand could possibly be obtained from the
public utility commission in the state, utilities located within
the state, or a computer model capable of making this projection
based on state-specific information. The generation that will be
supplied by existing and planned units in the projection year
must then be compared with the projected total generation demand
from in-state utilities. If projected demand exceeds supply, the
emissions from additional new units must be accounted for.
The amount of additional generation required to meet the
electricity demands within the state in the projection year
should be assumed to be supplied by new "generic" units. All new
generating units will be subject to the NSPS requirements.
Unless this demand, is expected to be met using a single fuel
type, the NSPS for coal, oil, and gas must be weighted together
according to'the amount of generation supplied by each fuel type
in the projection year at existing and announced units. This
weighting should be performed as follows:
Proj. Yr. Proj. Yr. Proj. Yr. Proj. Yr.
Fuel-Wtd = Coal Gen.*0.5 + Oil Gen. *0.3 + Gas Gen. *0.2
NOX NSPS Total Generation from Existing + Announced Units
In the above equation, 0.5, 0.3, and 0.2 are the NSPS
requirements for coal, oil, and gas, respectively, in lb/106 Btu .
in the projection year. The projection-year coal, oil, and gas
generation are calculated by finding the product of the overall
.capacity, the future capacity factor, and 8,760 hr/yr for
existing and planned units in each primary fuel category.

Using this NOX emission rate, the NOX emissions from the
"generic" new units can be calculated, as for the other types of
units, by substituting the generation required by generic units
(in MWh) for the term capacity * future capacity factor * 8,760
in the equation given above for calculating future year NOX
emissions, and using the same heat rate as .is assumed for
announced units. The same siting assumptions should be used for
generic units as the one discussed above for the undesignated
announced units.
2. Non-Utility Generators .
Now electric utilities meet the demand for power not just by
building new generating units, but also by buying power from
others. It is therefore important to consider the potential new
emissions from co-generators and independent power producers when
performing emissions projections. It is also important to
determine whether any of the shortfall between projected
electricity demand for a region and projected new utility unit
construction will be filled by "purchased power." Any NOX
emission projections should account for this source sector, and
should ensure that new demand being met by these units be
subtracted from that expected to be met by the utilities
themselves. From a modeling standpoint, the location of the
source providing generation is very important. If the co-
generator or independent power source is located within the
boundaries of the area being modeled, then the NOX emissions from
the source must be included. On the other hand, if the source is
located outside of the modeling boundaries, its NOX emissions
should not be included.
3. Industrial Sources
The most straightforward method for estimating future
industrial NOX emissions in an area is to apply the RACT-level
controls noted in Table IV.6 to.the population of units above the
applicable source-size cutoff for the nonattainment area. Then,
state-level, 2-digit SIC BEA earnings projections can be used to
estimate growth in emissions to future years. More complex
analyses would include the effects of fuel prices on the
decisions that plants with boilers make about whether to install
hardware to reduce emissions while continuing to burn the same
fuel, or whether to switch fuels to avoid incurring the hardware
costs. Decisions about how to fuel newly constructed units may
also be influenced by new RACT requirements. This may make it
more likely that new units will be smaller (to avoid installing
controls) or that they will be sited outside the nonattainment
area boundaries. Requirements for NOX RACT controls for greater
than 100 ton-per-year emitters in the Northeast Ozone Transport
Region probably eliminates concerns about siting outside
nonattainment area boundaries for that region since NOX RACT
control requirements are uniform throughout this entire region,
regardless of the attainment status.
. 58
-------
C. CARBON MONOXIDE
Future carbon monoxide emissions are affected by both the
Title I nonattainment provisions for CO nonattainment areas and
the motor vehicle related provisions in Title II. CO
nonattainment areas are classified as either moderate or serious,
with serious areas being those with design values of 16.5 ppm and
above. Primary standard attainment dates are December 1995 for
moderate areas, and December 2000 for serious areas. Basic I/M
programs are required in moderate areas that do not already have
them. Enhanced I/M programs are required for areas with a CO
design value greater than 12.7 ppm. Oxygenated gasoline is
required in all CO nonattainment areas. More specifically,
Sections 187(b)(3) and 211(m) together require that a state
containing a CO nonattainment area must require that, by November
15, 1992, fuel sold or supplied (or offered for sale or supply)
within the larger of the Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical
Areas (CMSAs) or MSAs must contain 2.7 percent oxygen by weight
during the period of high CO concentrations.
(Title II provisions affecting CO emissions include new
emission standards for light-duty trucks and cold temperature CO
standards.)
In some CO nonattainment areas, wood burning stove emissions
contribute to CO ambient standard exceedances. In 1988, the wood
stove NSPS was promulgated ("New Residential Wood Heaters" 53 FR
5860, 1988) . Thus, new wood stoves manufactured after this date
will be much cleaner burning than previous ones. AP-42 emission
factors for combustion in residential wood stoves show the
difference between Phase II unit (wood heaters meeting NSPS after
July 1, 1990) emission rates and those of conventional units
(U.S. EPA, 1990). CO emission reductions of 70 to 80 percent are
expected for catalytic and pellet fired Phase II units.
Conventional versus Phase II unit emission factors are scheduled
for inclusion in AP-42, Supplement D (September, 1991) .
There are also certain state and local regulations that
restrict growth in wood stove emissions that should also be taken
into account in CO emission projections. For example, the State
of Colorado regulations limit CO emissions to 200 g/h.
D. MOBILE SOURCES
1. Highway Vehicles
EPA issued MOBILE4.1, an updated version of its motor
vehicle emission factor model, in July 1991. States are required
to use MOBILE4.1 in determining 49-state and territories motor
vehicle emission factors for all base year emission inventories
under the CAAA, adjusted base year inventories, and CO projection
inventories. (MOBILE4.1 does not apply to California vehicles.)
MOBILES is scheduled to be issued November 1991 or as soon as
59
-------
possible thereafter. MOBILES will incorporate assumptions about
the VOC and NOX emission reductions of the mandated motor vehicle
measures of the CAAA (MOBILE4.1 already -includes the CO
reductions), as well as the benefits of the current Federal Motor
Vehicle Control Program. Specific guidance about estimating
future year motor vehicle emission rates will accompany the
release of MOBILES.
An updated version of Procedures For Emission Inventory
Preparation. Volume IV: Mobile Sources is scheduled for release
in Summer 1991 and will contain information relevant to
projecting both on-road and off-road mobile source emissions.
2. Railroads
Diesel engine equipment used by major Class A railroads has
undergone significant modernization in the last decade. Emission
rates have decreased, so EPA is publishing new emission factor
guidance. Downward trends in HC and CO emissions have been
observed, while NOX emissions have stabilized or increased
slightly. New engines are cleaner and more fuel efficient, and
are serviced more frequently. Another trend is toward higher
horsepower engines; soon two locomotives may be able to perform
the work of three. These trends are reflected in the recently
revised base year emission inventory guidance for this category.
Decisions are scheduled to be made by EPA over the next five
years about how to regulate new locomotives. Because fleet
turnover is slow, new standards will not have much of an
emissions impact before 2000. The State of California is
examining the possibility of using smoke to detect violations of
emissions standards. High diesel engine smoke levels are
indicative of a malfunctioning engine, which is typically caused
by malmaintenance and/or tampering. High smoke levels can be
closely correlated with high PM emission levels (Jacobs et al,
1991)
(Alternatives to diesel fuel are also being investigated by
the railroad industry and may affect future year emission rates.)
3. Aircraft
Aircraft HC emission standards for newly manufactured
engines were established in 1984 and have led to declines in
fleet average emission factors. This trend is reflected in the
recently revised base year emission inventory guidance for this
category.
Airlines continually acquire newer aircraft, gradually '
phasing out older models. While commercial aircraft often remain
in service for more than 25 years, fleet turnover phases out
aircraft using engines that do not meet the federal HC emission
standard.
60
-------
Airport noise regulations also are forcing changes to the
commercial aircraft fleet. National noise regulations, which
were recently passed by Congress, are forcing airlines to phase
out the use of loud aircraft by 2000. This can be accomplished
by retiring the loud, older aircraft; replacing their engines
with newer, quieter ones; or modifying the engines to muffle the
noise. The first two alternatives result In aircraft with
reduced emissions. Because this legislation is so new, the
airlines have yet to formulate plans for addressing these
requirements. However, as the equipment is updated, changes to
the fleet will be reflected in the Federal Aviation
Administration's reports on aircraft activity. Since-there is .a
significant engineering and development leadtime for producing
new aircraft engines, most of the commercial aircraft to be added
to the fleet in the next five to seven years will be powered by
engines whose emissions are characterized in Supplement D to AP-
42.
4. Non-Road Engines and Vehicles
The CAAA require EPA to study non-road engine and vehicle
emissions to determine whether they cause or significantly
contribute to air pollution episodes. The CAAA require that this
study be completed by November 1991 and be used by EPA to
determine whether non-road engines and vehicles contribute to
nonattainment problems. It is further required that EPA
promulgate, by November 1992, any appropriate emission
regulations for non-road engines and vehicles.
The categories of non-road engines to be regulated will be
determined after the comment period for the November 1991 study.
By the following November, more specific information should be
available on expected control techniques and their control
effectiveness. In the meantime, the State of California is
currently developing regulations for non-road engines and
vehicles (CARB, 1990) . The California Air Resources Board (CARB)
has issued guidance containing estimates of control effectiveness
for those future California regulations to. local air quality
planning authorities in that state. California's estimates may
be useful in anticipating the benefits from any future EPA
regulations. EPA's base year emission inventory guidance for
estimating off-road equipment populations should also be
consulted for information relevant to projections.

V COMBINING GROWTH AND CONTROL EFFECTS
A. OPTIONS
When a state or MPO gets to the point where it needs to
estimate the combined effects of activity growth and emissions
control on air pollution emissions for a projection year, choices
need to be made about the level of detail at which it is
desirable to perform the calculations and report the results.
Three options can be identified (there are certainly others) that.
are representative of approaches that have been tested. They are
listed below.
(1) Aggregating all base year emissions and control
information at the county level and performing all
projections on that basis.
(2) Allocating all base year emissions to grid cells
compatible with the Urban Airshed Model, and estimating
future changes in emissions for each grid cell/source
category combination.
(3) .Retaining source-specific information in the base year
inventory and performing point source projections, on a
source-by-source basis (with area source emission
projections performed at the county level).
Advantages and disadvantages to each of these three
approaches do exist, so a selection among the approaches should
be made by considering them separately, as well as by using the
criteria described in the Overview section of Chapter I of this
report as a guideline. It is also important to consider the
potential projection approach when compiling the base year
emission inventory, so that any data needed for a projection
approach can be efficiently collected at that time.
Option 1 is the most computationally efficient method for
performing projections, but is likely the. most problematic for
preparing inputs to a grid-based modeling approach. Advantages
of this approach include the ability to quantify the effects of
some-policies, such as new source review and emission offsets,
that are not amenable to analyses when source-by-source detail is
used to estimate emissions. Another advantage is the ability to
incorporate assumptions about plant retirement rates in the
emission calculations. Offsetting these advantages is the loss
of detail about source characteristics, including current
controls and their control effectiveness, that occurs when
emissions are aggregated at the source category/county level.
Aggregating information also creates potential problems for
performing quality control functions, in that errors may be
difficult to pinpoint. Cost per ton values can be used to
estimate control costs with this approach.
62
-------
Option 2 is an approach that has been used by the South
Coast Air Quality Management District (see Chapter VII for a more
detailed example). For an area interested in grid-based
modeling, this approach produces emission forecasts that are
compatible with data input requirements. An accurate application
of such an approach relies on the ability of the emissions
modeler to select source categories in a way that minimizes
differences in control levels and control techniques with the
modeling domain. It also relies on there being little change in
the spatial distribution of emissions from the base year to the
projection year. In this approach, growth and control factors
are the same for each source category (see Tables VII.1 and VII.2
for examples). If control costs are of interest, the detailed
cost computations at the source level have to be made outside the
modeling framework. The resulting cost effectiveness values
(cost per ton) can then be used in the modeling approach to
estimate total areawide costs for different combinations of
control options.
Option 3 is similar to option 2 in that the basic
relationship used to estimate future emissions is simply:
Base Year Emissions * Growth Factor * Control Factor =
Future Year Emissions
Option 3 is of value where retaining source-specific
information is desirable. For many control strategy
applications, this information may be essential. Having source-
specific information is always preferable when control costs are
to be estimated. It also allows one the opportunity to drop
individual sources or plants from the data file if plant closures
are planned. In addition, source sizes are beneficial when
estimating the effect of applying controls down to a specific
size cutoff. Finally, the requirement to use allowable emission
rates in emission projections may make it necessary to retain
source-specific information, unless source categories can be
defined in a way that makes all allowable emission rates the same
within a category. While retaining source-level data has its
advantages, it also increases computation time (probably of
little concern for urban-scale analyses) and forces an analyst to
derive more complex routines for simulating new source growth at
other than existing facilities or for modeling the new offset
requirements for ozone nonattainment areas.
B. GROWTH AND RETIREMENT RELATIONSHIPS
Changes in stationary source activity levels are accounted
for in the general projection modeling approach as represented by
option 1 above, by a combination of growth and retirement rates.
This is done because regulations affecting new sources differ
from those affecting existing sources. Therefore, different
control assumptions are identified for each. Growth rates and
controls are applied to estimate new source emissions.
63
-------
Retirement rates are applied to estimate how emissions from
existing sources will decrease.
The most recent industry-by-industry projections of growth
applicable to an air pollution analysis are 'those performed by
the BEA (BEA, 1990a; 1990b; 1990c) and discussed in detail in
Chapter III. These growth rates were calculated based on
earnings and, therefore, are assumed to represent net growth for
an industry. In other words, retirement of existing sources is
taken into account. Retirement rates for existing sources are
shown in Table V.I. These estimates of plant retirement rates
were developed by Data Resources, Inc. (U.S. DOE, 1979) in
support of an industrial sector technology model development
effort.
Table V.2 presents retirement rates developed from Internal
Revenue Service Depreciation Guidelines. Annual retirement rates
for this table are estimated as the reciprocal of two times the
depreciation period in years. As the average depreciation
periods are on the order of 10 to 20 years, most of the annual
retirements range from 2.5 to 5.0 percent per year. A choice
between using the retirement rates in Table V.I versus Table V.2
is probably best made by selecting the one with the categories
that match best with the base year inventory being used.
The equation which should be used, to incorporate the growth
and retirement rate data in an emissions projection is as
follows:
Qn = Q0 {[(1 + Gi)6 - 1] Fn + (1 - Ri)c Fe + [1 -(1 - Ri)'] Fn} (1)
where :
Qn = emissions in projection year
Q0 = emissions in base year
R; = retirement rate
Fe = emission factor ratio for existing sources
Gj = growth rate
F = emission factor ratio for new sources
n
The first term in the equation represents new source growth
and controls, the second term accounts for retirement and
controls for existing sources, and the third term accounts for
replacement source controls. It should be noted that. the Gi term
in equation (1) represents net growth. If a total growth rate
(G'i) is used, the first term in equation (1) should be changed
to [(1 + G'i - Ri)c - 1] Fn.
Emission factor ratios are specified separately for new and
existing sources because regulations affecting new sources can
differ from those affecting existing sources. Therefore,
different control assumptions are identified for each. Emission
factor ratios for any projection year can be defined as the
estimated average emission rate within a source category for that

future year divided by the average emission rate for that same
category in the base year. Emission factor ratios are also
referred to in some references as control factors.
As part of the process in estimating how future year
emissions might be different from base year emissions, it is
important to consider the potential effects of technology changes
on emission rates. Because a large fraction of organic emissions
are from evaporation, control approaches can result in different
product formulations, which in turn can produce dramatically
different emission rates and reactivity profiles. Examples
include the substitution of water-based for oil-based paints, new
lower emitting less reactive solvents, and elimination of some
high emitting products, such as cutback asphalt, in ozone
nonattainment areas. The provisions in the CAAA that require
nonattainment regulations for consumer or commercial product
categories that account for at least 80 percent of the VOC
emissions would be expected to trigger considerable new product
development and reformulation. Therefore, it is important that
the states track rulemaking efforts for these categories to
establish how technology changes might affect' future emission
rates.
C. FUTURE DIRECTIONS -- EMISSION PREPROCESSOR
SYSTEM (EPS) ENHANCEMENTS
EPA is in the process of upgrading the Emissions
Preprocessor System (EPS) to provide a computerized tool for
implementing the projection and control guidance in this
document. The enhancements will allow for anthropogenic
emissions to be projected and/or controlled on a county-level
basis by source category. The projections will be accomplished
by applying a growth factor to the base emissions. Controls and
RE will be handled as control factors (also described as emission
factor ratios earlier in this chapter), which are fractions less
than or equal to one. Allowable emissions will be handled
similarly, incorporating both growth and controls."
In addition, a utility is being added to EPS to aid the user
in generating the growth factor input file based on BEA data.
This utility will not generate the projection factors, but will
create the projection factor input file from existing BEA growth
factors by source category. Other enhancements should make EPS
more flexible and easier to operate.
The revised version of EPS will be a menu-driven system
based in FORTRAN, with the menu portion programmed with SAS. The
new system should be available for distribution to the states by
May of 1992.

VI VALIDATION
There are a number of methods that can .be applied to
validate historical emission estimates. Stack tests or
continuous emission monitoring data can be used as a validation
tool for stationary source emission estimates. Similarly, motor
vehicle travel estimates can be validated by traffic counts on
selected roadways. Validating future year emission estimates is
more problematic, however.
It is recommended that, before state and local agencies
submit their emission projections to EPA, that some validation,
or reasonableness, checks be performed. These can be done for
the complete inventory of sources, as well as for individual
components such as highway vehicles. In short, the validation
method being suggested is a comparison of projection results with
those of other recently completed studies for the same or similar
areas to identify and understand any inconsistencies.
One emission projection effort that may prove useful in
validating SIP emission projections is that performed as part of
the ROMNET study. The ROMNET inventory uses the 1985 National
Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) Emissions Inventory
as its source of base year operating and emissions data. The
ROMNET modeling domain includes 12 full states and the District
of Columbia, portions of another 7 states, and a portion of
Ontario, Canada. The 12 full states included in the ROMNET study
were: New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Ohio. The inventory has been
subjected to additional quality assurance (QA) procedures and
updates based on more current or accurate information gathered
from the sources themselves, or provided by state agencies.
ROMNET includes both baseline emission projections and strategy
emission projections.
These inventories concentrate on the large, point sources of
NOX and VOC inherent in the NAPAP plan and methodology.
Emissions sources (plants) of less than 100 tpy are not included
as point sources in the inventory. Individual points emitting
less than 25 tpy are also not included. Sources of CO have
undergone less rigorous QA. Area source categories (including
mobile sources) are based on the NAPAP list of area source
categories rather than the SIP categories. Both inventories use
temporal allocation software developed for the 1985 NAPAP
emissions inventory to derive seasonal, daily, and hourly
allocation factors and generate similarly resolved emissions.
ROMNET projection inventories relied principally on BEA
employment projections for approximately 90 2-digit SIC groups.
Control scenarios have been simulated using these groupings
rather than individual plant projections. Utility emissions were
projected based on the Advanced Utility Simulation Model (AUSM)
70
-------
results. The states reviewed all growth projections and, in some
cases, substituted their own data.
The Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) analyzed (1989)
the VOC emissions reductions from a number of source-specific
control strategies (1989), including the following, which are
reasonably representative of the new measures mandated for ozone
nonattainment areas in the CAAA.
• Adoption of RACT on all existing stationary sources for
which a regulation already exists in any SIP.
• Adoption of new CTGs — RACT-level controls for several
existing stationary sources of VOC for which EPA has not
issued control guidelines, and which have not previously
been subject to regulation in any SIP.
• Emissions controls on hazardous waste TSDFs.
• Establishment of new Federally regulated controls on
architectural surface coatings.
• Onboard vapor recovery systems on motor vehicles to capture
gasoline vapor during refueling.
• Stage II control devices on gasoline pumps to capture
gasoline vapor during motor vehicle refueling.
• Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) programs for highway
vehicles.
• More stringent exhaust emission standards for gasoline
highway vehicles.
• New Federal restrictions on gasoline volatility.
• The use of methanol instead of gasoline as a fuel for
vehicles in centrally owned fleets in the worst
nonattainment cities.
Compared with VOC emissions for a 1985 base year, by 1994,
application of the measures outlined above was estimated to
result in a 34 percent reduction, on average, of emissions in
nonattainment cities. Because of uncertainty in the emissions
inventory, differences in source category contributions by area,
and the degree to which future emissions can be controlled, total
emissions reductions from the measures analyzed ranged from 18 to
37 percent of 1985 levels. The percentage reductions for most
categories are about the same in 1994 and 2004, except for
onboard VRS controls and new highway vehicle standards, which
increase because more of the older vehicles will have been
replaced by newer, lower-emitting vehicles. Additional emissions
reductions in 2004 from onboard VRS and other highway vehicle
emission standards, as a percentage of total 1985 emissions, are
estimated by OTA to be about 4 percent.
EPA-sponsored analyses (Pechan, 1991) of the CAAA have shown
that ozone nonattainment areas that institute all of the measures
required for areas in the severe and extreme categories can
conceivably achieve VOC reductions of about 45 percent
(as a percentage of 1987 emissions) by 1995, and close to 50
percent by 2000. While these emissions reductions are higher
than those estimated by the OTA, the OTA figures do not include
reductions that might be achieved from consumer/commercial
71
-------
product rules or from reformulated gasoline. Note that the
Pechan analysis assumes that EPA will choose not to adopt Phase

adopted, these emissions standards would not provide emission

VII CASE STUDIES
Two recently completed projection analyses for modeling
studies provide some useful experience to those who may be
unaccustomed to performing emission projections. The Southern
California Association of Governments (SCAG) and the SCAQMD
prepared baseline projections of activity and emissions for the
South Coast Air Basin (SCAG, 1989, and SCAQMD, 1989) . This
information was used to prepare a grid based emission inventory
for both current and future years. For areas planning to use a
grid based model for their attainment demonstration, this example
should assist in showing how this type of analysis can be
performed. Because growth in the Los Angeles area is heavily
affected by migration from outside the United States, there was
more emphasis in the South Coast analysis on population
projections than might otherwise be the case. This factor is
probably less important in other nonattainment areas.
The ROMNET analysis (Possiel, 1991) was to support a
regional modeling exercise, but it is expected that SIP analyses
will be consistent with the level of detail of this analysis.
Hence, it is a relevant example.
A. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EMISSION PROJECTIONS
Southern California based its emission projections on an
analysis of population and employment through the year 2010. The
region began with a draft baseline projection that was a
calculation of what the population and employment growth of the
SCAG region would be if the demographic and economic forces.
experienced over the previous decade were to continue through the
year 2010. This baseline projection also reflected national and
state-level projections of demographic and economic trends and,
in a few cases, data which indicated that future trends were
likely to diverge from historic trends. The baseline projection
did not assume any government intervention with demographic,
economic, or housing market trends.
1. Population Projections
There are three primary components of population growth:
births, deaths, and net migration. The first two components
constitute natural increase (births minus deaths), and the third,
net migration, can be separated into net domestic migration
(within the United States) and net foreign migration (people
moving from other countries) which includes both legal and.
illegal immigrants.
The SCAG projection anticipated that natural increase will
play a more dominant role in the region's growth than it has in
the past. Between 1975 and 1980, half of the population growth
was the result of natural increase. Between 2000 and 2010,
73
-------
natural increase is projected to contribute 75 percent of the
region's total growth. This increase is attributable to the
growing Hispanic population (with high fertility rates) and the
decreasing ratio between migration and the region's population.
Overall, natural increase represents 63 percent of the region's
population growth between 1980 and 2010.
Migration includes both inward and outward movement. Net
migration in the SCAG region was projected to be negative from
1980 to 2010. Net out migration is small relative to the total
population of the region, however. Between 1980 and 2010, about
9.0 million people are expected to leave, while 8.1 million are
projected to enter. This indicates a very mobile population.
Recent trends have shown high levels of immigration to the
SCAG region. Potential reasons for this may include the
following: •
• Job opportunities relative to other areas
• Proximity to Mexico and Central America
• Pacific Rim location
• A similar climate to Latin American and Asian-Pacific
countries
• Large ethnic communities and cultural centers already
located in the region
For both the nation and the SCAG region, the population will
be aging. The changing age structure of the population was
reflected in the SCAG baseline projection, with the median age of
males increasing by 5.8 years and females by 6.4 years by 2010.
Projected male versus female age differences will continue. This
difference is primarily the result of higher female survival
rates.
At the national level, the median age of males is projected
to increase by eight years and the median age of females by nine
years. The population of the SCAG region is expected to remain
younger than the nation's population with the influx of
immigrants who are typically young, and the relatively higher
fertility rates of the Hispanic population.
The projection model used by the South Coast links economic
data to population dynamics, and is based on the assumption that
patterns of migration into and out of a region are influenced by
labor market variables. The demographic projections, following a
cohort-component procedure, are developed independently from the
economically driven projections. Results of the demographic
model are then compared with those of the economic projections
and the migration assumptions are adjusted as a function of
projected employment. Figure VII.1 illustrates the relationship
between the demographic and economic projections.
SCAG's baseline employment projection model is based on a
detailed shift/share analysis of industries in the Los Angeles

basin compared with State and national projections for those
industries. A flow chart of the major components of the modeling
process is shown in Figure VII.2.
As Figure VII.2 shows, the model begins with national job
projections prepared by the BLS Office of Economic Growth. This
includes detailed industry-by-industry projections of employment
and output for 155 sectors of the U.S. economy. From the
national projections, the model derives California's and the
region's share of national growth. To perform the sharing
analyses, industries are divided into base and nonbase, where
base industries are those with national, international or state
markets (e.g., manufacturing) and nonbase are those dependent on
demand from local markets (i.e., population serving).
The state model used 83 sectors for California's share of
the U.S. economy* with 66 base and 17 nonbase industries. The
regional model used 66 industries because the regional economy is
less broad than the state economy (and ends up with 49 base and
17 nonbase industries). Table VII.1 shows the list of base and
nonbase industries used in the SCAG analysis.
Regional projections were needed for each of the individual
base industries. Historical annual wage and salary employment
data were used from the Employment Development Department. The
model uses these data to examine the following:
• Each industry's 1984 share of employment in the state
• The industry's historical average share of employment over
the last 12 years
• Its share of total job growth over the same period
• Changes in the industry's share of employment over time
For each industry, a share factor was selected from one of
the above indicators. These share factors were then applied to
the projected state growth levels in each of the base industries
to yield an estimate of total growth in the base industries for
the region for a projection year.
Nonbase industry jobs were projected based on the historical
relationship between base jobs and total jobs. This job
multiplier is used with the total base employment figure for the
projection year to estimate total employment. The difference
between projected total jobs and projected base industry jobs is
total nonbase industry jobs.
Total nonbase industry jobs then had to be allocated to the
individual categories shown in Table VII.1. The model did this
by calculating the ratio of the share of each nonbase industry to
total jobs in the SCAG region compared with that industry's state
share of the state's total jobs. The ratio was then used as a
weighting factor to adjust statewide nonbase shares to reflect
regional shares.

A key component relating employment and population
projections is the civilian labor force. The civilian labor
force is the number of noninstitutionalized or nonmilitary
personnel 16 years old or older who are working or actively
seeking work. The civilian labor force can be determined in two
ways. One is from an employment projection and the other is
through the labor force participation rates of the demographic
mix in the area.
2. Baseline Emission Projections
a. Stationary Sources
The next step in the SCAG region projection effort was to
estimate future baseline emissions. Baseline emissions in this
case were defined as those expected if no additional air quality
regulations are introduced. These emissions are forecasted using
control measures in effect at the time of the projection, and
growth rates for population, industry, and motor vehicle
activity. For the SCAG region study, growth rates were as
determined using the techniques described in the preceding
section.
Future year baseline emissions are estimated for each
individual source category using the relationship shown in- the
equation below:
.= EmisBase (CF) (GF) (1)
where :
= future year emissions
= base year emissions
CF = control factor (the level of control imposed
on a single source category as a result of
existing state and local air quality regulations)
GF = growth factor from SCAG regional modeling
Control factors for selected stationary source categories
for the SCAG region are illustrated in Table VII. 2. Control
factors are shown, for total organic gases, oxides of nitrogen,
and sulfur oxides. Similarly, examples of growth factors for the
counties in the SCAG region are shown in Table VII. 3.
b. Mobile Sources
Within the SCAQMD, mobile sources consist of two
subcategories: on-road and off -road sources. On-road vehicle
emissions are calculated using socio-economic data provided by
SCAG, spatial distribution data from Caltrans' Direct Travel
Impact Model (DTIM) , and emission factors from the California Air
Resources Board's motor vehicle emission factor model, EMFAC7 .
Emissions from off-road vehicle categories (e.g., trains, ships,
utility engines) were calculated as area sources.

-------
EMFAC is the California ARB's model for estimating emission
factors for on-road motor vehicles. Originally, EMFAC closely
paralleled EPA's model, MOBILE, with the-exception of its
different treatment of trip end emissions. As the California-
specific vehicle emission data base grew, the model has become an
independent entity as needed to reflect California's motor
vehicle fleet. '• ..
The emission factors generated by EMFAC are used in
conjunction with activity data in BURDEN to develop the motor
vehicle emission inventory. BURDEN is a county-specific program
that uses vehicle activity from either local travel demand models
or the California Department of Transportation's statewide travel
model activity disaggregated to the county level.
The above calculation allowed the SCAQMD to compute total
baseline emissions of criteria air pollutants as well as the
relative contributions by stationary and mobile sources. To
determine the spatial distribution of population and emissions,
the Air Basin was divided into a grid system composed of 5 km by
5 km grid cells and the emissions were allocated to these grid
cells.
c. Summary
Table VII.4 summarizes the key resulting socioeconomic
parameters used in the emission forecasts for 2000 and 2010 in
the region.
South Coast Air Basin baseline emission projections
(accounting for regulations adopted as of June 1990) show that
organics, NOX/ SOX, and PM10 are not expected to decrease
appreciably between 1987 and 2010 (SCAQMD, 1991). This is a
result of regional growth in population, housing, and motor
vehicle use. Baseline CO emission projections showed a 50
percent expected decline by 2010.
Significant differences in the spatial distributions of net
changes in emissions of VOC, NOX/ and CO between 1987 and 2010
were predicted within the air basin. VOC, NOX, and CO emissions
are expected to decrease significantly in the western part of the
basin, but are predicted to increase in the east. This
underscores the importance of accurately assessing spatial
changes in emissions when emission projections are to be input to
a grid-based model.
Once the SCAQMD computes their expected baseline emissions
for 2000 or 2010, they apply additional control measures, which
they have divided into three tiers, depending on their readiness
for implementation. Thus, for any individual proposed rule not
included in the baseline emissions calculation, the associated
emission reduction, or control factor, is estimated with
reference to the future year baseline. The effects of individual
measures in reducing criteria pollutant emissions are too

voluminous to list in this example. Readers interested in more
details are referred to the SCAQMD (1991) report. The net result
of applying the three tiers of control measures in the South
Coast is a significant additional reduction in expected criteria
pollutant emissions from the baseline emission levels estimated
for 2010. Estimated annual average ton per day emission
reductions from the 2010 baseline for the-SCAB are as follows:
Organics 83%
NOX 62
CO . 51
Note that because of the severity of the air pollution problem in
the South Coast Air Basin, that the reduction percentages listed
above are considerably higher than what is expected to be
achieved in a typical honattainment area.
B. REGIONAL OZONE MODELING FOR NORTHEAST TRANSPORT —
PROJECTION YEAR AND CONTROL STRATEGY EMISSIONS
INVENTORIES
EPA's ROMNET program was undertaken to quantify the
concentrations of ozone and ozone precursors transported among
urban areas in the Northeast, and to assess strategies for .
attaining the ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard
(NAAQS). Inventory development for ROMNET was overseen by an
Emissions Committee and a Strategies Committee, each of which
included representatives from the states in the region.
In the projection phase of ROMNET, emissions were estimated
for the year 2005 under a number of different emissions control
scenarios. This section focuses on the methodologies used to
predict future emissions. The ROMNET final report gives
additional details on the emission control strategies analyzed,
and the magnitudes of predicted emissions (Possiel et al., 1991).
1. Inventory Structure
For each future emission.scenario, a detailed emissions
inventory was prepared to serve as input to the Regional Oxidant
Model (ROM). Each ROMNET inventory contains anthropogenic
emissions data for total hydrocarbons (THC), volatile organic
compounds (VOC), nitrogen oxides (NOX), and carbon monoxide (CO),
which are precursors in urban ozone formation. NOX emissions are
divided into NO and N02; and organic emissions are broken into 11
reactivity classes based on the Carbon Bond IV system.
All of the ROMNET future emissions inventories derive from
the 1985 ROMNET emissions inventory (Battye, 1989), which in turn
was based largely on the 1985 NAPAP emissions data base (Saeger,
1989) .
85
-------
Each ROMNET inventory contains separate files for point
sources, stationary area sources, and mobile sources. The
distinction between point and area sources is the same as.that
used in NEDS (plant emissions of 100 tons or more per year of any
criteria pollutant, or 5 tons per year of lead).
The area source inventory does not address individual
sources, but instead gives emissions for aggregated groups of
sources that are too small or numerous to be covered by the point
source inventory. Area sources in the ROMNET inventory include
minor fuel combustion sources; open burning and solid waste
disposal; structural and forest fires; nonhighway transportation
sources such as trains, airplanes and off-highway vehicles;
solvent evaporation from paints and other solvent uses; and some
industrial fugitive emissions and process vent emissions. The
mobile source inventory includes only highway vehicle emissions.
Emissions are apportioned into a Mercator grid system, with
each grid square covering one-sixth of a degree latitude and one-
fourth of a degree longitude (or an area roughly 20 km by 20 km) .
Each inventory gives hourly emissions for three day-types:
typical weekday, Saturday, and Sunday. Data in the point and
area source inventories reflect emissions on clear hot summer
days, which characterize a typical episode with exceedances of
the ozone NAAQS.
2. Projection and Control Algorithms for Point and Area
Sources
Table VII.5 depicts the basic algorithm used in ROMNET for
determining future point and area source emissions. The
algorithm is somewhat more complicated if NSPS apply, since these
standards affect only new, modified and reconstructed emissions
sources.
The algorithm in Table VII.5 is implemented at the finest
level of detail allowed by the point and area source inventories.
In the point source inventory, growth and control factors were
applied to each individual source. For area sources, the factors
were applied at the county and emissions category level. In this
way, growth in an emission category was spread equally among all
of the individual sources in the category.
Growth rates used in the projection algorithm vary by state
and also for different industrial categories within each state.
The growth rate represents an increase or decrease in the basic
activity that causes emissions. In general, each point source
and each industrial area source category was assigned a growth
rate based on its 2-digit SIC code. For utilities and industrial
cogeneration, growth factors were applied on a more detailed
level, based on the fuel burned and the combustion method.
Future emissions from nonindustrial area sources were projected
based on population growth.

87
-------
ROMNET control strategy efficiencies can be applied for the
entire region, for the Northeast Corridor, or at the state, MSA,
or county level. The degree of spatial -resolution depended on
the specific control scenario.
Emissions sources in the point source inventory were grouped
into approximately 90 different source groups, or "pods," for the
purpose of applying controls. ROMNET strategy efficiencies and
existing control efficiencies were defined at the pod level
within the appropriate geographic area. The ROMNET area source
inventory was divided into 64 separate categories, derived from
the 109 NAPAP and NEDS categories but excluding highway vehicles
(which were treated separately from other area sources) and
particulate emissions categories. Each area source category was
treated separately for the purpose of applying controls.
3. Projection and Control Algorithms for Mobile Sources
Table VII. 6 illustrates the general algorithm used to
predict future mobile source emissions. Because of the
temperature sensitivity of mobile source emissions, the mobile
projection algorithm was designed so that day-specific
inventories can be generated to reflect temperatures at the grid
level .
The projection algorithm begins with 1985 emissions
evaluated at a standard temperature (mean temperature = 85°F;
diurnal variation = 2.0°F) , and neglecting any -local I/M programs.
Predicted state-specific growth rates for VMT are applied to give
"uncontrolled" emissions for 2005 (U20o5) • keeping per-mile
emission factors at their 1985 levels.
Two control factors are then applied to give 2005 emissions
for a given ROMNET strategy. The first control factor includes
regional controls such as the Federal Motor Vehicle Control
Program (FMVCP) and regional reductions in RVP. Grid-level
temperature, adjustments are also made in this step. The second
control factor is applied at the county level and accounts for
local control measures such a I/M programs.
Emissions are projected at the grid and county level for
VOC, NOV CO, and VOC and NOX species. For VOC, separate
projections are made for evaporative VOC emissions, VOC from
gasoline exhaust and diesel VOC emissions. The segregation of
VOC allows a final recalculation of VOC speciation to account for
temperature variations and differential control efficiencies.
The final speciation is day-specific and also varies from grid to
grid depending on grid-level daily temperature profiles.
4. Summary of Future Scenarios
Fourteen inventories for future anthropogenic emissions were
produced under ROMNET. All of these inventories represent
emission scenarios for the year 2005. Two are projection

inventories using different baseline control assumptions, and the
remaining 12 represent various control strategies. The inventory
development effort was carried out in two main phases. In Phase
I, VOC controls were applied to different portions of the ROMNET
region, while NOX emissions were held constant. In Phase II, the
relative impacts of VOC and NO^ controls were analyzed, as well
as strategies for reducing VOC reactivity.
All of these inventories are in the same format as the base
year inventory, with emissions given on a gridded, hourly basis
for a typical summer weekday, Saturday, and Sunday. Emissions
are given for VOC, NOX, and NO2. For mobile sources, tabular
emission factors were prepared for each future inventory,
providing the capability to adjust emissions to reflect grid- and
day-specific temperatures.
Each of the future anthropogenic inventories was merged with
a biogenic emissions inventory and input to the Regional Oxidant
Model. The purpose of the modeling effort was to estimate ozone
levels that would be observed under the various future emissions
scenarios.

VIII BIOGENIC EMISSIONS PROJECTIONS
Recent modeling studies show the importance of including
natural hydrocarbon emissions in ozone modeling studies. SPb
""*
program is available from the EPA CHIEF Bulletin Board, which can
be accessed through a personal computer and modem at (919) 541-
5742 . ] The system calculates emissions at the county level using
episode-specific data on temperature and sunlight intensity.
In BEIS, biogenic emissions are calculated from a set of
emission factors and meteorological correction factors that are
specific to various categories of land use or biomass. The
general algorithm for nonforested areas can be summarized as
follows:
ER = $ ( A, * EFj * FjtSfT] )
where ER is the total biogenic emission rate (grams/hour) for a
given VOC species in a given grid, ^ reflects the summation over
all land use types, Aj is the area (square meters) of land use j
in the grid, EF.J is the emission factor (g/m2-hour) for land use
j, and Fj[S,T] is a dimensionless meteorological correction-
parameter that is a function of temperature and sunlight
intensity.
The emission rate for forested areas is as follows:
ERj = $ ( Aj * BFj * EFj * F.j[S,T] )
where the new term BFj is the mass of dry leaf in a given
forested area (g/m2) . All other terms are the same as is the
first equation, except that the emission factor EF.J is expressed
in terms of emissions-per-leaf biomass (ug/g) .
BEIS includes emission factors for 16 land uses: oak
forest, other deciduous forest, coniferous forest, corn,
peanuts/rice, tobacco, grass/pasture, hay/scrub/rangeland,
potato, sorghum, alfalfa, barley/cotton/oats/rye, wheat,
soybeans, urban areas, and water or barren land. Emissions are
highest for forested land and corn (3-4 mg/m2-hr) . Emissions
from foliage and grass in a typical urbanized area .are about a
factor of four lower (0.8 mg/m2-hr) , and emissions from crops
other than corn are lower still (0.02-0.5 mg/m2-hr) .
The adjustment parameters (Fj[S,T]) are fixed for a given
set of meteorological inputs, which are dependent on the episode
being modeled. Also, the emission factor for a given land use
(EFj) is fixed. Therefore, land use area (Aj) is the only
parameter that can be affected in an emission projection
analysis .
91
-------
A detailed projection of biogenie emissions for a growing
metropolis would be expected to show a reduction in biomass
corresponding to increased urbanization."- This would result in a
decrease in biogenie emissions. Biogenie emissions estimates are
very uncertain, however, and projections of these emissions would
be more uncertain. Biogenics, therefore, are held constant for
most projection analyses. '' ..
There are several reasons for the uncertainty in biogenie
emissions estimates. Both the emission factors and the
meteorological correction factors are uncertain. In addition,
the timing of biogenie emissions (between morning and afternoon)
is not fully understood. The timing of emissions can be very
important to grid modeling studies. Finally, up-to-date land use
data are not readily available. BEIS uses county-level land use
data extracted from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's
GEOECOLOGY data base, which was developed between 1970 and 1980
(Olson et al., 1980). Despite these limitations, BEIS represents
the state of the art for quantifying biogenie emissions. Because
of the importance of biogenie emissions, BEIS should be used to
incorporate these.emissions in air quality modeling exercises.

produce a reservoir could reduce biogenie emissions by up to

use of grid or county-specific land use areas. Predictions of
land use changes can be obtained from local and state planning
agencies.

IX QUALITY ASSURANCE PROCEDURES
A. INTRODUCTION
1. Definition of Quality Assurance
Quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) have been
defined and interpreted in many ways. EPA's Quality Assurance
Handbook (U.S. EPA, 1984) differentiates between the two terms by
stating that quality control is "the operational techniques and
the activities which sustain a quality of product or service,•
whereas quality assurance is "all those planned or systematic
actions necessary to provide adequate confidence that a product
or service will satisfy given needs." Quality control may also
be understood as "internal quality control," namely, routine
checks included in normal internal procedures (e.g., periodic
calibrations, duplicate checks, split samples). Quality
assurance may be viewed as "external quality control," or those
activities that are performed on a more occasional basis, usually
by a person outside the normal routine operations (e.g., on-site
system surveys, independent performance audits). For the
purposes of this document, QA is used collectively to include all
of the above meanings of both quality assurance and quality
control.
Other documents pertaining to SIP development QA have been
issued by the EPA (U.S. EPA, 1988 and 1989) . An additional
document on quality review guidelines will be issued in July
1991. Prior to finalizing projection inventory QA procedures, an
agency should consult and coordinate QA activities on the
baseline inventory.
2. Purpose of Quality Assurance
Implementation of QA prpcedures is important for ensuring
that results are of known data quality and are of adequate
quality for the technical decision to be made. .It is therefore
important to define and understand the limits of the data to be
used. This document deals with the development of data which
will be utilized to develop and implement control strategies that
must be effective in bringing an area into compliance with the
NAAQS. Information used in this phase of the SIP development
should be as accurate as possible to ensure that the control
strategies will be effective. Errors can be introduced during
the analysis, but the implementation of QA procedures can help to
identify and reduce the impact of these errors. This document
outlines procedures that can be used to uncover potential errors
in the development of projection inventories. The procedures
outlined below include the following steps and methods to fix
them.
.. 93
-------
B. DESCRIPTION OF TASKS
1. Types of QA Procedures
There are several procedures that should be employed during
the development of projection year inventories. These procedures
can be broken down into the following categories: manual review,
computer-assisted review, development and use of QA checklists,
understanding chain of custody, and implementation of audits.
Manual review should be limited to those activities that can
not be automated. This includes consistency checks from one
system to another, such as checking the growth factors utilized
to ensure consistency with other growth factors that may be
available. These other growth factors may not be suitable for
use in this application (due to limited source category coverage
or data format incompatibilities), but they can be manually
reviewed to ensure that the general growth assumptions are
consistent. Manual review also includes procedures requiring
intellect. This includes understanding and making decisions
regarding the reasonableness of the results.
Computerized checks can be developed to fully utilize the
strength of a computer to perform repetitious tasks. Whenever a
QA procedure is found to be repetitious, examination of the
procedure often uncovers a way that the computer can be
introduced to perform the work. Examples include checks for
missing data, correct units, and "reasonableness" (whether the
value is within a "reasonable" range). The software developed
for emission inventory projections should include many of these
computerized checks. If the computer is utilized to develop
preliminary input files, however, QA procedures should be
developed and applied. An example would include the use of
spreadsheet software to develop input files. If possible, macros
should be developed that check on the accuracy or suitability of
numbers prior to their use in the projection software. In
addition, sums of values should be developed for checking against
the projection software files. This will serve to uncover such
problems as data translation errors and data format problems.
Checklists are developed and utilized to ensure that
procedures designed and discussed throughout this document are
implemented, and that results of these QA procedures are utilized
to enhance the credibility of the analysis. An example QA
checklist is provided in Appendix B.
Chain of custody is a procedure for preserving the integrity
of a sample or of data (e.g., a written record listing the
location of the sample/data at all times). Although no sampling
data are involved in the projection inventories, similar
procedures are developed to guard against the introduction of
errors during conversion or transfer of data. This includes data
integrity checks when data are transferred from one individual or
organization to another.
94
-------
Audits serve to introduce an unbiased person or group into
the QA process. For the purposes of projection inventories,
audits may only be necessary if the agency developing the SIP
uses a method or a data set that is not consistent with the EPA
guidance. Most agencies lack the resources necessary to use
methods or data that are not provided in thje EPA guidance. In
the event that the agency does use alternatives, EPA may audit
the material to ensure that it is consistent with EPA policies.
2. Program Elements Requiring QA
There are at least four program elements identified for the
development of the projection inventories. These are planning,
data collection, data analysis, and data presentation. As
discussed below, QA should be included in all these elements.
Implementation of QA procedures should begin in the planning
phase. The planning phase will identify the SIP development
participants and their responsibilities. During the planning
phase, the agency should set aside the time and resources
necessary to conduct adequate QA. Time should be built into the
schedule to allow for the QA, as well as for the correction of
errors that are found. Resources include manpower (necessary to
conduct manual review), computer resources (including the machine
and personnel to program the computer), or dollars to purchase
contractor assistance or alternative data sources.
Several QA procedures can be used during the data collection
phase. This includes checks to ensure data quality and
reliability. During earlier sections of this report, several
sources of input data (specifically growth factors) were
presented. Each of these sources has a different level of
suitability. Included in the suitability determination is an
understanding of the data quality and reliability as well as
format, ease of use, and cost. Data quality must be understood
prior to the use of the data. Collection of appropriate data is
often a resource-intensive effort; therefore, priorities must be
established for collection and QA of data. These priorities are
often based on the sources' emissions magnitude. Other
components may influence priority including which source
categories are included in the control strategy, ballpark costs
of individual controls, and the pollutant species being emitted.
If the pollutant being controlled is also a toxic compound,
additional QA resources may be warranted to ensure high quality
data.
Data analysis encompasses the procedures and algorithms used
to determine the answer to the initial question (namely, which
control strategies will work given this projection scenario to
allow for attainment of the NAAQS). - Errors can be introduced
during any phase of the data analysis. To minimize the
introduction of errors, several facets of QA can be employed --
95
-------
data validation, computational checks, reasonableness of results,
and interpretation of results.
Data validation includes procedures for checking against
miscoding data or misusing data. This would include errors
introduced during the conversion of units or translation from one
system or format to another and transfer'from one group or
individual to another. In addition, the data may have internal
limitations. For example, the data may have been developed for a
purpose that might preclude their use in this application. One
may still choose to use the data, but the limitations it prsents
should be recognized and documented. .
Computational checks are often developed during the software
development phase. Additional computational checks can be made
at any time, however. These include comparison of different data
fields to ensure consistency. For example, a growth factor
applied to one source category may need to complement another
category. If population is expected to increase in an area,
there should be a corresponding growth in VMT and industrial
activity. (A problem may exist if, during the QA process,
population growth was forecasted without considering industrial
growth.)
Reasonableness of results requires judgement on the part of
the analyst to ensure that the results are logical. If the
results are not sensible, research should be conducted until the
analyst is comfortable with the findings and feels confident that
any anomalies can be explained. In the example presented above,
population could grow and industrial activity could decline if
another type of change could explain the cause of growth. This
might hold true in an area experiencing growth in the tourist
industry or in the services industry.
QA should be introduced during the interpretation of
results. When conclusions are drawn from the data and analyses,
independent review should be performed to ensure that the results
do indeed support the conclusion. The results should not be
overanalyzed. This goes hand-in-hand with the initial purpose of
employing QA procedures: to ensure adequate quality of
information for the data upon which the technical decision to be
made is based.
Finally, the presentation of results can result in errors or
ambiguities. Data translation procedures should again be checked
at this stage. This includes preparation of graphical displays
of the data. Here unit measurements should be double-checked,
and appropriate headings and legends should be created to ensure
that the data are accurately presented. Again, results must be
reasonable, and all data presentation should strive for
interpretability.
96
-------
X DOCUMENTATION
Documentation requirements for emissions projections will be
consistent with those presented in the documentation chapters of
Emission Inventory Requirements For Ozone State Implementation
Plans (U.S. EPA, 1991c) and Emission Inventory Requirements For
Carbon Monoxide State Implementation Plans (U.S. EPA, 1991d) for
the base year emission inventories. In addition to the
documentation requirements identified for the base year emission
inventory, for projections it will be imperative to document the
explicit control technique and control effectiveness values used
in both the base year and future year emission estimates.
Expected changes in activity levels will have to be documented as
well.
For highway vehicles, an example of the level of detail of
required documentation can be found in the Sec. 187 VMT
Projection Guidance. It is especially important to detail the
analyses used to estimate changes in vehicle speeds.
When future year emission estimates are completed, they will
have to be submitted to EPA in a form compatible with the
Aerometric Information Retrieval System (AIRS). Specific
requirements will be described in the Reasonable Further
Progress/Emission Tracking Guidance document scheduled for
release in November 1992.

APPENDIX C
HISTORICAL EARNINGS DATA
(Backcasting Data)
-------
APPENDIX C
HISTORICAL EARNINGS DATA
Historical earnings data are potentially useful in making
emission projections both through establishing trends, which can
be extrapolated into the short-term future, in having the ability
to adjust 1990 base year emission estimates to match with air
pollution episodes, which may have occurred during 1987, 1988, or
1989 and in updating portions of prior year emission inventories
to 1990. To date, BEA has published historical earnings
statistics through 1989. BEA reporting for these statistics are
by state and 3-digit Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)
code. Because 1990 is such an important year for establishing
base year emissions, a trend analysis was applied to the
historical data to add estimated 1990 values to the data base.
The procedure applied to estimate 1 990 values is described
briefly below.
Estimation of annual income data using trend line analysis
is justified on the basis of inflation or trend inertia. It will
fail during major shifts in economic conditions not already
established in the prior year's values. Thus, even though the
BEA historical data covered 21 years, from 1969 to 1989, only the
most recent six years (1984 to 1989) of data were used in this
analysis. Some of the state/SIC categories contained a " (D) "
entry, which indicates that the data were withheld from
publication because of small cell size disclosure policies. This
(D) entry was translated to a numeric -99 in the revised data
files.
In estimating 1990 values, if any data were 0 or -99
(withheld) in the 1986-1989 period, then the 1990 entry was set
equal to the 1989 data adjusted for inflation. In cases where
there were at least four years of data prior to and including
1989, a log-linear model of the form of equation (1)
i
-------
Revised data files with the 3-digit SIC code values for each
state for 1986 through 1990 are available from EPA through the
CHIEF Bulletin Board System. These data-are in spreadsheets.
One of the purposes for developing the above data files was
to assist states in estimating 1990 emissions given that
significant efforts may have been expended previously to compile
emission inventories for a year other than 1990. Several ozone
and CO nonattainment areas began preparing 1987, 1988, or 1989
inventories as a result of SIP calls in 1988 or 1989. These
inventories either have to be updated to 1990 or completely
redone to reflect 1990 conditions.
For states that receive EPA approval to perform updates to
the 1987/1988/1989 inventories, the BEA data in the spreadsheet
files can be used to adjust prior year emission estimates to 1990
for point sources with emissions less than 100 tons per year.
This can be done for any given state by matching the source
category of interest with the appropriate 3-digit SIC code. Note
that BEA earnings data are meant only to capture likely changes
in activity levels and that any change in emission rates for a
source or a source category from the original base year emission
inventory to 1990 has to be accounted for separately. The BEA
data may also be used to update area and non-road mobile source
emission estimates to 1990 for any source category for which the
state/3-digit SIC code is the best surrogate indicator of
activity. In other words, if the historical BEA data were used
as an indicator of activity in the original inventory for a
source category, then the data in the spreadsheet files can be
applied to estimate changes in activity between 1987/1988/1989
and 1990.
Users of the constant dollar BEA historical data files are
cautioned to only use them to develop growth factors. Because of
the conversion to constant dollars, these data will not match
those eventually published by BEA for 1990.
Once a 1990 base year inventory has been compiled, there may
be a need to adjust that inventory to correspond with the time
period of an air pollution episode. For example, areas planning
to apply the Urban Airshed Model may be modeling episodes that
occurred in 1987, 1988, or 1989. The BEA data may be useful for
that purpose as well. Consultation with EPA is advised before
BEA data are used for that purpose because annual earnings data
may not always be suitable for estimating day specific
conditions. In cases where this technique is valid, backcasting
1990 emissions to prior years can be performed by multiplying
1990 emissions for a given source category by the ratio of the
episode year historical earnings to 1990 earnings. The
historical BEA data in the spreadsheet files can only be used to
adjust 1990 emission estimates to a prior episode year for point
sources with emissions less than 100 tons per year (small point
sources and non-highway vehicle area sources). Episode year
emission estimates for large point sources and highway vehicles

will have to be made using information specific to the time
period being modeled. As with the techniques described above for
using historical BEA data to update 1987/1988/1989 inventories to
1990, it is important to match the source category of interest
with the appropriate 3-digit SIC code. The earlier mentioned
caveat about BEA earnings data only capturing activity level
changes applies here as well.
