Introduction
     The Source Test Data (SOTDAT) System is an automated data processing
system used by the U.S. Environmental  Protection Agency to store data
from testing and analysis of emissions from stationary sources of air
pollution.  SOTUAT is a part of the comprehensive Aerometric and Emissions
Reporting System (AEROS), described in detail  in a booklet, "Aerometric
and Emissions Reporting System," which is available on request.
     Source test data are collected on an ongoing basis by the National
Air Data Branch (NADB), Monitoring and Data Analysis Division, Office of
Air Quality Planning and Standards, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
EPA Order 7600.2A requires submission  of coded  SOTDAT Forms for  all  source
tests conducted by EPA and its  contractors.  Other sources include  state
and local air pollution control  agencies, control  equipment manufacturers,
engineering consultants and installations identified through the  National
Emissions Data System (NEDS).   Coded forms  are  inspected  manually by NADB
personnel prior to keypunching,  computerized editing and  verification,
and storage on the Univac 1110  computer at  EPA's  National  Computer  Center
at Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
     This booklet is designed for persons who are  not familiar with
SOTDAT, to provide a description of the system  and examples of the  comput-
erized SOTDAT reports that are  available upon request.  To meet  these
objectives, this booklet includes:   (1) an  overview of the data  contained
in SOTDAT, (2) descriptions of  related publications, (3)  a description  of
procedures for requesting SOTDAT data  and (4) a description of SOTDAT
report capabilities and examples of available computerized report formats.
A list of additional  references  is  provided  for background information.

-------
Overview of the  Source Test Data System
     General  Description
     The Source  Test Data  (SOTDAT) System is a  computerized  data handling
system that accepts, stores and reports  information  from emissions tests
performed on sources of air pollution.   The  system contains  data on many
different pollutants, but  the  largest volume of data is for  the five original
EPA "criteria" pollutants  (particulates, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide,
nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons).   Special  capabilities for storage of
results of trace element analyses  and particle  sizing tests  were added as
part of a general system enhancement in  1979.

     Purposes
     The primary purpose of SOTDAT is to make use of source  test data in
the development and revision of air pollutant emission factors.  Empirical
models can be used to predict  emission factors  and their characteristics
for specific kinds of sources, based on  SOTDAT  emission, process, and fuel
parameters reported from  tests on  such specific sources.  These emission
factors are essential components of other  AEROS systems such as the
National Emissions Data System (NEDS), in  which they are used to estimate
process emissions if actual measurements are not available.   They are
published for use by EPA  and other groups  in the Compilation of Air
Pollutant Emission Factors (AP-42).
     Additional possible  applications of SOTDAT data include technical
evaluation of process emissions and control  equipment, prediction of control
method costs, coordination of  enforcement  and surveillance activities,
and planning and evaluation  of source tests.

     SOTDAT Organization  and  Content
     The basic unit of organization in SOTDAT is the individual "source
test," or sampling run.   All  information on  a SOTDAT coding form, comput-
erized data record or SOTDAT  report pertains to a single sampling run
(i.e., to the same sampling  site  and time  period).  Thus data from a typical
source test report are entered into SOTDAT as the results of a number of
sampling runs.

-------
     The data Hems in SOTDAT have been selected, defined and arranged  so
that sufficient information on each source test may be obtained to allow
evaluation of each source test's applicability to a SOTDAT user's purpose,
and to present that information in a logical format for both coder and
user.  Data items are grouped in various categories, which are maintained
in the SOTDAT coding form, data record and computer outputs.   These groups
and individual  data items are discussed under SOTDAT Data Form,  below.
     To assure  usefulness of SOTDAT data for the  main purposes of the
system, test reports entered into  SOTDAT have been required  to include
either uncontrolled or pre-control  device tests or post-control  device
tests with substantial documentation of actual control  device  operation
and efficiency.   Data are not accepted from a number of test types,
including tests  involving experimental, developmental  or  obsolete
processes, or testing  methods, permanently-installed continuous
in-stack monitors,  compliance tests conducted for enforcement  purposes,
tests conducted  under atypical  or  unusual  conditions,  and  tests  on most
sources other than  conventional  stationary sources (e.g.,  mobile  sources
or fugitive emissions).

     SOTDAT Data Form
     Data for each  source test to  be entered  into  SOTDAT are recorded on
the SOTDAT Data  Form (Fig. 1)..  It has special sections designed specifically for
results of trace element  analysis  and particle sizing.  The first three
pages of the form are used for all  test types.  The  third  page also accommo-
dates trace element analysis results.   The fourth  and  fifth pages provide
space for additional  sampling and  results  data related  to  particle size
tests.   The list below provides  a  description of  the  basic data groups used
in the SOTDAT Data  Form and maintained through the computerized data  record
and the SOTDAT  Report format:

Card A.  Source  Identification;  Includes  the name and  address of the plant
where the test was  performed and its NEDS  geographic  codes and plant  and
point (process)  identification numbers.

Publications Related to Source Test Data
     The publications described below may be of interest to persons
concerned with source tests and emissions data.  There are no periodic
publications of SOTDAT data such as those available for the emissions and
air quality data in NEDS and SAROAD.

     Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors (AP-42)
     This volume contains emission factors (emissions per process unit)
for most of the common emission categories:   fuel  combustion by stationary
and mobile sources; combustion of solid wastes; evaporation of fuels,
solvents and other volatile substances; various industrial processes; and
miscellaneous sources.   Compiled for use in  air pollution emission
inventories, these emission factors are based on source test data, material
balance studies and engineering estimates.   Emission  factors are only avail-
able for the primary pollutants (particulates,  CO,  SO.-,, NO , and hydro-
                                                     L.    /\
carbons).  There are many instances in which a  need for information on
emissions from various  source types can be fulfilled  by reference to this
vol ume.

     Source Test Data System (SQTDAT)  Coding Manual
     The SOTDAT Coding  Manual is the basic reference  document for persons
entering data into SOTDAT.   It includes general coding rules,  full instruc-
tions and specifications for each individual  data  item, and other information
for SOTDAT data input.   The SOTDAT user may  find access to this  information
necessary for detailed  interpretation  and analysis  of data retrieved from
the system.  The Coding Manual  also includes some  specific guidance on its
recommended use in becoming familiar with SOTDAT and  interpreting SOTDAT
reports.  Users of SOTDAT data are encouraged to obtain the manual and to
refer to it to be sure  that relevant definitions and  specifications corres-
pond with their own.

Procedure  for  Requesting Computerized Reports
     The computerized reports described in  the  next section may be
requested  from:
                    Requests and  Information Section (MD-14)
                    National Air  Data Branch
                    U.S. Environmental Protection  Agency
                    Research Triangle Park  NC   27711
                    FTS:   629-5395
                    Commercial:   (919)541-5395

     All requests except those received from within EPA or from other
Federal agencies will be processed  in accordance with the Freedom of
Information Act.  In order for a  request  to be  evaluated and processed,
the request must be made in a  letter; however,  before submitting the letter,
a telephone call to NADB is recommended to  assure  the feasibility of a
desired type of retrieval  and  otherwise clarify or expedite the request.
     When requesting by letter,  the following  items must be specified:
     1)   Computerized  report  name, or  if none  specifically applies,
          the data items required.
     2)   Desired select and sort options (see  next section for details).
     3)   Name of person to contact in  case of questions, and telephone
          number.
     4)   Any time constraints involved.
     5)   Authorization to assume costs  of  providing the requested
          data.

     Requests for computerized reports  can often be filled within two weeks.
 If a request is likely to take longer,  the  requestor will be notified.
     As a Federal agency,  EPA normally  makes  no charge for reports requested
 by other Federal agencies; however, if  a  request is of major impact on
 NADB's  computer budget, NADB  may request that user and account codes be
established by way of interagency agreements.
     Many AEROS users are  non-Federal,  and  typically include state and local
air pollution control agencies,  universities,  contractors, private industry,
 consultants and private citizens.  For  non-Federal users other than state
                                    16

-------
and local air pollution control  agencies,  a  charge may be  necessary to
cover the costs of retrieving  and  printing the  requested data;  if so,  the
requestor will  be notified before  any  cost is incurred.  This  booklet
cannot give estimates  of specific  costs  due  to  the variety of  possible
requests.
                                  17

-------
SOTDAT Computerized Reports
     Three  report  formats and a selection and sort  capability are available
to SOTDAT users, as described in detail below.  The Standard  SOTDAT Report
contains all  information for a specific test run.   The Abbreviated Report
is a subset of  the standard Report, including the unique  SOTDAT Form
Number, identification of the plant tested, names of parties  sponsoring
and performing  the test, pollutants for which results were  obtained and
other identifying  items.  The Emission Factor Report calculates and displays
estimated emission factors and related statistics for groups  of test runs
specified by the SOTDAT user.  The select/sort  capability allows the user
to select all test runs ip the data base with desired values  or ranges
of values for specific data items, to sort  the  selected runs  according to
the values  of one  or more data items and to print the selected and sorted
test results in any of the above report formats.
                                   18

-------
      Select/Sort Capability
      The SOTDAT select/sort capability allows the user to select SOTDAT
 test runs containing specific data values or ranges of values and to specify
 data items by which a selected group of test runs should be sorted prior
 to printing in one of the SOTDAT report formats.  Only certain data items
 can be used as selection and sort criteria, as listed in Figure2.
      Through the choice of appropriate selection criteria, SOTDAT retrievals
< can be limited to test runs containing information likely to be of interest
 to the user.  Tests conducted at specific plants can be obtained by
 requesting only those test runs with desired NEDS plant identification
 numbers.  Tests of all processes of given types can be obtained by specifying
 the relevant Source Classification Codes.  Maximum and/or minimum criteria
 can be used to specify retrieval of groups of tests with related selection
 criteria, such as those tests with similar SOTDAT form numbers, run dates,
 test or analysis methods,  etc.   Up to  20  selection criteria  can be  used
 simultaneously to define the subset of SOTDAT desired.   Each  selection can
 consist of an equality,  maximum or minimum or both  maximum and  minimum
 values for one of the criteria  in Figure 2*
      Selected test runs  can be  sorted  by  any combination  of the select/sort
 keys, in user-specified  order.   All  24 keys  can  theoretically be  used at
 one time.  Typical retrievals will  involve only  two or three  keys,  however,
 since each successive sort key  operates only on  test runs  with  identical
 values for all previous  keys.   Since SOTDAT Form Numbers  are  unique, sort
 keys to be used after the  Form  Number  will  have  no  effect.
      It is recommended that the Abbreviated  SOTDAT  Report  be  requested
 by users who are unsure  of the  number  of  test runs  which may  result from
 a desired set of selection criteria, to avoid unnecessary  printing  of
 large numbers of the Standard Report.   Examination  of the  selected
 Abbreviated Reports should be sufficient  to  specify,  by  direct  use  of
 SOTDAT Form Numbers or other revised selection keys,  those test runs for
 which the full Standard  Report  is of interest.

Standard SOTDAT Report
     The Standard SOTDAT Report (Figures 3,4,  and 5 )  contains all
information entered into SOTDAT for a given test run.   It may also  include
several.data values calculated from entered data by algorithms in the
SOTDAT Edit-Validation Program, depending on the completeness of the
information originally entered.  All  data values entered  as  numeric or
alphabetic codes are fully interpreted by referencing  code description
files, and appear in the Standard Report with English  descriptors.
Figures 3,4,  and 5  are examples of Standard Reports for  the three  test
types accommodated by SOTDAT (typical  source test,  test involving trace
element analysis and particle size test).

Abbreviated SOTDAT Report
     The Abbreviated SOTDAT Report (Figure  6 )  consists of the first few
lines of identifying information from the Standard  Report and a list of
the pollutants tested in each  test run.   This Report was designed to allow
users to survey the results of a set of  select/sort criteria  in condensed
form prior to requesting full  Standard Reports  for  desired test runs.

SOTDAT Emission Factor Report
     The Emission Factor Report (Figure  7  )  computes an average emission
factor (in Ibs.  per SCC unit) and associated  statistics for tests of processes
having a specific Source Classification Code  and  a test result for the
desired pollutant.   Qualifying test runs are  previously selected from SOTDAT
using the Select/Sort Program and approved  by the user as applicable.
The user can also specify weights to be given to  specific test runs in
computation of the  emission factor.

16. ABSTRACT
        The Source Test  Data (SOTDAT) System  is  an automated  data processing  system
   used by the t'.S.  Fnvironmental Protection  Agency to store  data from testing  and
   analysis of emissions  from stationary sources of air pollution.

        This booklet is  designed for persons  who are not familiar with SOTDAT,  to
   provide a description  of the system and  examnles of the  computerized SOTDAT
   reports that are  available unon reguest.   To  meet these  objectives, this booklet
   includes:  (1) an overview of the data contained in SOTDAT, (?) descriptions of
   related publications,  (3) a description  of procedures for  reguesting SQTDA.T
   data and (4) a description of SOTDAT report capabilities and examples of
   available computerized renort formats.   A  list of additional references is
   provided for background information.
