Purpose and Scope
The purpose of this Task Order was to assist the EPA, the EPA Regional
Office and interested State agencies in the preparation and compilation of
National Emissions Data System (NEDS) coding forms for State of New Jersey
facilities with estimated emissions of any pollutant over 100 tons per year
or identified by Appendix C of the Federal Register dated August 14, 1971.
The scope of this Task Order included:
1. The identification of those facilities within the State of New
Jersey which emit over 100 tons per year of pollutant emissions
of suspended particulates, sulfur dioxide, hydrocarbons, carbon
monoxide or nitrogen oxides or facilities identified by Appendix
C of the Federal Register of August 14, 1971.
2. The calculation of estimated emissions from available data using
the ‘Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors ’ of February
1972.
3. The preparation of the NEDS coding forms as specified in Chapter
4 of the NEDS Manual APTD 1135 within the constraints of available
data.
-------
Approach
The approach taken in completion of this Task Order involved the
following steps:
1. Review of State of New Jersey data provided by EPA, Durham, North
Carolina, consisting of partially completed NEDS forms and the
APCO output listings.
2. Identify facilities included In the 1970 emissions inventory which
met the critetnia of this Task Order for inclusion in the NEDS
inventory.
3. Acquire all available 1970 emissions inventory questionnaires
pertaining to the facilities identified in paragraph 2 and any
additional questionnaires pertaining to facilities identified by
the State of New Jersey as meeting the Task Order criteria but
not included in the 1970 inventory.
4. Analyze the available questionnaires pertaining to the facilities
identified, determine the estimated emissions and transfer the
appropriate data to NEDS forms in accordance with Chapter 4 of
the NEDS Manual. -
S. Identify data missing from the prepared NEDS forms. Acquire, with
the aid of’tbe State of New Jersey, this data if available and
enter on the appropriate NEDS forms. Figure 1 is a copy of the
forms prepared for internal calculations and information and for
identifying missing facility data to the State. Copies of the
norms which identified missing data were provided to the State of
New Jersey to be used as an aid in acquiring such data.
6. Determine the UTH coordinates for each facility and enter ox the
NEDS forms,..

Assumptions
The following assumptions or groundrules were used in conjunction with
chapter 4 of the NEDS Manual in the preparation of the NEDS forms for the
State of New Jersey:
1. Boiler Data
Boilers shall be coded one per NF.DS form unless in the judgment of
the analyst excessive data would result by not combining several
small boilers. When boilers are combined:
a. The boiler capacity indicated shall be the total capacity
for all boilers combined.
b’. Fuel amounts are to be added to provide one total for each
fuel type.
c. When multiple stacks are useti, the stack data will be averaged
and entered as such.
Boilers combining unusual liquid waste with fuel oil will have the
liquid waste identified and a new SCC code will be provided by EPA.
2. Process Fuels
Process fuel use not specifically identifiable to a specific
process will be coded on a NEDS form using a Ict indicating the
source, a general process IPP code, a zero (0) in the boiler
capacity and the appropriate gone alized combustion SCC code.
Process fuel known to be associated with a particular process but
-separately vented is to be coded on a separate NEDS form with
appropriate IPP process and SCC codes used. When it is indicated
that part of the process heat is used for space heating and the
emissions are small compared to the process emissions, the need
to separate space heating can be ignored.
When fuel ii e is not identified as being for a boiler or used in a
process, the following technique is to be used:
-------
a. If the industry is not known to use significant heating in
its process 1 the fuel used will be considered as consumed
in boilers.
b. If the industry is one which uses significant heating in its
process, such as the refining, cement and asphalt industries,
the fuel used will be considered as used in combustion
sources.
3. Process Combustion Emissions
For those pollutants identified as being emitted from the associ—
a ted process, an emission factor of zero (0) will be assumed tot
the fuel combustion emissions.
For those pollutants not emitted by the associated process, emis-
sion factors will be applied using the factors provided for the
most similar boiler. The results of these calculations will be
entered in the emission estimate fields of Card 4. Appropriate
corrections for control devices wit], be made, if applicable.
4. Asphalt Dryers
The dryer used in asphalt batching will be assumed to be a rotary
dryer, unless specified otherwise, and the appropriate SCC code
will be used.
3. Petroleum Refineries
EPA will, provide an 5CC code for the Internal Combustion Engine/
C mpressor i1sed in petroleum refineries.
Generalized leakage emissions from petroleum refineries shall be
assumed to be emitted at a plume height of zero (0). The height
of emissions from storage tanks will be left blank unless the
average height of the tanks is known.
-------
6. Zero Emission Sources (non—Federal)
Any source within a facility meeting the NEDS criteria, which emits
to the atmosphere basically zero tons par year of each of the
pollutants nay be excluded from the inventory. This includes
sources which athieve low emissions through the use of pollution
control devices.
7. Federal Facilities
NEDS. forms will be prepared for all federal facilities included
th the listings provided by EPA.
8. NEDS Forms
Newly prepared NEDS forms will be prepared for each facility using
basic data from inventory çuestionnaixes. This zas necessary
since the emission inventory computer printouts prcparcd at
Research Triangle Paric, i orth Carolina by EPA in August 1971 did
not lend themselves to the preparation of NEDS forms as specified
in the NEDS Manual. This uas due to-the grouping of stacks and
boilers for individual facilities as provided for in the ground—
rules for the 1970 New Jersey inventory. The partially completed
NEDS forms,, therefore, could not be easily used.

Meetings
1. On August 16, 1972 the first meeting concerning Task Order 11 was
held at the New Jersey State Department of Environmental Protec-
tion, Trenton, New Jersey. Participants at the meeting were, Mr.
I. Kaplan and Mr. J. Myers of IBM, Mr. G. Marciante, EPA Region
2, Mr. A. MacQueen, EPA, Durham, North Carolina and Mr. W. Munroe,
Mr. V. Marchansi, Mr. R. Pfnnnenstiel and Mr. J. DePierro of the
New Jersey DEP.
The State of New Jersey agreed to cooperate to the extent possible
in providing any additional and identified required information
necessary for the preparation and completion of the NEDS forms.
In relation to this, questio inaires not at IBM would be provided
if available and arrangements would be made for visits to the New
Jersey DEP Field Offices in Springfield, Trenton and Pcnnsauken.
These field visits were to be for the purpose of obtaining any
available missing information and to identify, if possible,
facility UTM coordinates when locations were uncertain. At this
meeting, street maps for 20 New Jersey counties were made available
to aid in determining UTM coordinates and additional questionnaires
for EPA — New Jersey Region 043 were provided for review and
possible inclusion in the NEDS inventory.
2. On August 28, 1972, Mr. J. Gleasoti and Mr. L. Taylor of IBM
conferred a rr nton, Ne i Jersey with Mr. R. Pfannenstiel and Mr.
J. DePierro of the New Jersey DEP. Additional questionnaires for
Regions 045, 150 and 15]. were obtained for review and arrangements
were made for visits to the three New Jersey field offices.
State personnel expressed the consensus that any missing and
required information that could not be obtained from the state
field offices also would not be available at the specific facility
of concern.
-------
3. Visits wore made to the three New Jersey DEP Field Offices during
the month of September. The purpose of these visits was to have
access to field office files and obtain any additional information
missing from the facility questionnaires for use in completing
the NEDS forms. The three field offices visited were:
a. Central Field Office, Trenton, New Jersey Hr. Rzigalinski,
September 19, 1972
b. Metro Field Office, Sprthgfield, New Jersey Mr. L. Marshall,
Septeml,er 25, 1972
c. Southern Field Office, Pennsauken, New Jersey Mr. B.
Sullivan, September 28, 1972.

Results
The original and one copy of the National Emissions 1 ata System (NEDS)
Point Source Forms for the State of New Jersey cor.tpleted under Task Order
11, Basic Order Agreement 68—02—0043 was forwarded to the Environmental
Protection Agency, Durham, North Carolina.
Information was entered upon the NEDS forms in accordance with Chapter
4 of the NEDS Manual, special instructioris contained in the EPA letter of
August 4, 1972, ‘Coding df ] ‘edera1 Point Source Information on NEDS Data
Forms,’ additional instructions received from EPA and specific groundrules
and assumptipns stated in a previous portion of this report.
NEDS forms were completed for a total of 337 facilities, 205 of which
were non—U.S. Government facilities meeting the NEDS criteria and for which
1970 inventory questionnaires were available. The total n mther of NEDS forms
processed was 3877, 213 of ,hich pertained to u.S. Government facilities.
A final revie •y of the NET)S forms was accomplished during the first
portion of Decei iber ]J72 and a total of 3 2 forms, pertaining to non 11.5.
Government facilities were eliminated. Of these 284 were removed due to zero
(0) tons per year emissions and 108 due to combining like processes and small
boilers. The final number of NEDS forms submitted for inclusion in the NEDS
system was reduced to,1485. This number represents 901 forms for Region 043,
465 forms for Region ‘)45, 98 forms for Region 150 and 21 forms for Region 151.
iIrM coordinates were determined for all facilities having an identifi-
able address. Several U.S. Government facilities did not have a specific
I
address a ’ailable, consequently 11TH coordinates were not established. The
State of New Jersey had no information on file pertaining to the U.S.
Government facilities identified on the EPA provided printouts.
-------
To supplement State of New Jersey questionnaires and information
pertaininQ to electric generating plants, Federal Power Commission Form 67 s
were provided by EPA for the following:
1. Atlantic City Electric Company Decpwater Station, B.L. England
Station and Missouri Avenue Station.
2. Jersey Central Power and Light Company Sayreville Station and
Madison Avenue — Punch Bowl Station.
3. Public Service Electric and Gas Company Bergen Station, Burlington
Station, Essex Station, Hudson Station, South Kearney A and B
Stations, Linden Station, Marion Station, Nercer Station and
Sewaren Station.
