NARRATIVE
This report presents the current status of the federally owned
facilities within the Metropolitan Birmingham 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 March 7, 1970 the Metropolitan Birmingham Intrastate Air
Quality Control Region was designated pursuant to section 107(a)
of the Clean Air Act, as amended. The region comprises BLount,
Jefferson, Shelby, St. Clair, Tuscaloosa, and Walker counties all
in Alabama.
II.	NUMBER OF FEDERAL FACILITIES
There are 41 Federal installations within the Region and of
thes^l2 are involved in burning either fossil fuels or refuse.
Table 1 is a listing of these facilities and the quantities of fuel
and refuse burned by each. Table II is a summary of the total
annual fuel usage for the respective counties within the Region.
III.	FEDERAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO AIR POLLUTION
The Federal facilities within the Metropolitan Birmingham
Air Quality Control Region emit annually a total of 14 tons of
sulfur oxides (S0X), 12 tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx), 9 tons of
particulate (PART), 7 tons of carbon monoxide (CO) and 2 tons of
hydrocarbons (HC).
Emissions from transportation sources were not included in
this report, but will be covered in a subsequent report on air
pollution emissions from mobile sources.

-------
2
Table IV lists the Federal sources which emit annually more
than 100 tons per year (Point Sources) of any one pollutant,, There
are no such sources in this Region
IV. REMEDIAL ABATEMENT MEASURES PROPOSED
One Federal facility listed in Table VI, reported an air
pollution problem and remedial measures in their 1967 - 1972 five
year abatement plans. This action and the expected reductions in
the air pollution emissions produced by this facility when abatement
measures become effective are presented in Table VII.
