Environmental Protection Agency ------- This brochure provides an overview of the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) air toxics and criteria emission estimating tools EPA develops air emission inventory tools for point and area sources to support many activities, including: Clean Air Act requirements, State Implementation Plans (SIP), SARA 313 reporting requirements, and other emission estimating and assessment activities. Most of these tools are developed and maintained by the Emission Factor and Inventory Group (EFIG) within EPNs Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS). This brochure describes each tool and its intended use. Users should select the tool(s) best suited to their projects and obtain the reports or computer databases necessary. For further information on any of these tools, call Info CHIEF at (919) 541- 528 5, or write: Info CHIEF U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Emission Factor and Inventory Group (MD-14) Research Triangle Park, NC 27711 (E-mail: info.chief®epamaiL.epa.gov) These estimating tools should be used with discretion. Actual emissions from individual sources may vary considerably from values estimated by using emission and speciation factors Source- specific emission test data are generally preferred, when available ERG welcomes any emission data that would help improve the emissions estimating tools presented in this brochure. ------- Copies oftlie tools mentioned in this brochure are available from different sources and under differiii conditions related to requester status (government agency, commercial entity, nonprofit organization.
