ADDENDUM TO THE PUBLICATION
"AIR POLLUTION REPORT ON FEDERAL FACILITIES IN THE
METROPOLITAN ATLANTA INTRASTATE AIR QUALITY
CONTROL REGION", May, 1971.
This inventory was prepared consistent with the report
entitled "Consultation on the Metropolitan Atlanta Intrastate
Air Quality Control Region", January 1970, and the geographical
designation of April 29, 1970. On March 31, 1971, in line with
the concept of including the entire United States in these geo-
graphical units called Air Quality Control Regions, this Region
was redesignated and its boundaries expanded by the Environmental
Protection Agency. Hence, the data presented herein do not reflect
Federal facility emissions data for the counties of: Butts,
Carroll, Corveta, Fayette, Heard, Lamar, Meriwether, Pike, Rockdale,
Spalding, Troup, Upson in Georgia, which have been added to the
region.

NARRATIVE
This report presents the current status of the Federally owned
facilities within the Metropolitan Atlanta Air Quality Control Region
with regard to the implementation of the objectives prescribed by the
Clean Air Act, as amended. The data in this report are the most
recently available and reflect the current fuel usage, refuse disposal
practices, air pollution emissions and proposed abatement measures for
the listed installations.
I. BOUNDARIES OF THE AIR QUALITY CONTROL REGION
On April 29, 1969, the Metropolitan Atlanta Intrastate Air
Quality Control Region was designated pursuant to section 107(a) of
the Clean Air Act, as amended. The seven-county intrastate Region is
located in central Georgia and consists of Clayton, Cobb, De Kalb,
Douglas, Fulton, Gwinnett, and Henry Counties. A map of this Region is
presented in Figure 1.
II. NUMBER OF FEDERAL FACILITIES
There are 81 Federal installations within the Region and of these
only 25 are involved in burning either fossil fuels or refuse. Table I
is a listing of these facilities and the quantities of fuel and refuse for
the respective Counties within the Region.
III. FEDERAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO AIR POLLUTION
The Federal facilities within the Metropolitan Atlanta Air Quality
Control Region emit annually a total of 1700 tons of hydrocarbons (HC),
540 tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx), 180 tons of sulfur oxides (SOx), 170
tons of particulate (PART), and 100 tons of carbon monoxide (CO). These
emissions, as summarized in Table III, contribute slightly less than 17.
of the total particulates and sulfur oxides from all stationary sources
within the area.
Emissions from transportation sources were not included in this
report, but will be covered in a subsequent report of air pollution
emissions from mobile sources. Identifiable annual aircraft emissions
are estimated to total 11,000 ton's of carbon monoxide, 1200 tons of
hydrocarbons, 700 tons of nitrogen oxides and 400 tons of particulates.
Table IV lists the Federal sources which emit annually more than
100 tons per year (Point Sources) of any one pollutant. There are two
point sources in this Region - Atlanta Army Depot in Forest Park and
Air Force Plant 06 in Marietta.
-------
2.
One installation in this Region, as listed in Table V, has coal-
fired boilers in violation of the particulate emissions limitations
as per Federal regulation: Title 42, Part 76.4, Sections (7) and (8).
IV. REMEDIAL ABATEMENT MEASURES PROPOSED
Six Federal facilities, listed in Table VI, have reported air
pollution problems and/or proposed remedial measures in their 1967-1972
five year abatement plans. These actions and the expected reductions
in the air pollution emissions produced by these facilities when all
of the abatement plans have been put into effect are presented by
Table VII.
