In response to one of SAB's comments, EPA sought to improve the estimate of facility stack height used in modeling air emissions of Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) chemicals. The sensitivity analysis of the air emission modeling used in the Indicators Model demonstrated that stack height has the greatest impact on predicted concentrations of air pollutants. At the time of SAB's review, all stacks in the Indicators Model were assumed to be 10 meters high. Also at that time, all exit gas velocities, which represent the second most important variable impacting air emissions modeling, were assumed to be 0.01 m/sec. As EPA began improving the accuracy of stack height estimates, it determined that it could also readily improve the estimation of exit gas velocities. This report describes the Agency's improvements to the accuracy of the Indicators Model through two types of changes: 1) the incorporation of facility-specific median stack heights and median exit gas velocities where available; and, 2) the estimation of median values for stack heights and exit gas velocities by Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes. These estimates are then assigned to facilities without facility-specific data. To obtain facility-specific stack heights and exit gas velocities as well as estimates of stack heights and exit gas velocities by SIC code, the Agency relied on the AIRS Facility Subsystem (AFS) database within the Aerometric Information Retrieval System (AIRS); the National Emission Trends Database (NET); and databases from three states (California, New York, and Wisconsin). From AFS and the three State databases, EPA was able to obtain stack height data specific to facilities which report to TRI. For the 421 California, New York, and Wisconsin facilities which report to TRI and the 1,209 facilities in common to the TRI and AFS databases, a representative stack height for each facility was estimated by calculating the median height for all of a facility's stacks with non-zero height. After identifying facilities in common between TRI and these data sources, EPA began investigating ways of estimating stack heights for TRI facilities not in AFS or in the three State databases. In the course of analysis of available data, the Agency noticed substantial variability in stack height across primary SIC codes of facilities, and chose to calculate and analyze a median stack height for each 2-digit, 3-digit, and 4-digit SIC code applicable to TRI reporters, i.e., in the 2-digit SIC code range of 20 to 39. To use the data in AFS and NET, however, EPA had to investigate the possibility that stack height may vary on the basis of whether the stack emitted possible TRI chemicals or not. For the TRI facilities with non-zero stack releases for which facility-specific data were not available, stack heights were estimated from AFS and NET based on facility 3-digit SIC codes and statistical analyses of height differences between stacks emitting TRI chemicals and stacks not emitting TRI chemicals. For stack height, the estimation approaches used for the 13,204 TRI facilities with non-zero stack air releases reported in 1995 included: 1,209 facilities estimated directly from AFS; 69 facilities estimated from California State data; 192 facilities estimated from New York State data; 37 facilities estimated from Wisconsin State data; and 11,514 estimated based on the facilities' 3-digit SIC code. ------- The remaining 183 facilities (13,204 facilities minus 13,021 facilities) reported 3-digit SIC codes outside the range of 201 to 399, or reported no SIC code. For these 183 facilities, a stack height was assigned based on either the 2-digit SIC code (if a valid one was available) or on the median stack heightforall 108,590 unique stacks in AFS and NET. The median stack height for all 108,590 stacks from AFS and NET is 10.67 m (35.0 ft), virtually the same as the previously used default value of 10 m for TRI facilities. At the same time that EPA obtained stack height data, it also obtained exit gas velocity data. EPA was able to obtain exit gas velocity data specific to TRI facilities from AFS and two of the three State databases. For a given facility, the exit gas velocity was estimated as the median for all the stacks. This facility-specific analysis could be conducted for 850 facilities from AFS; 192 facilities from New York State data; and 24 facilities from Wisconsin State data. Of the 13,204 TRI facilities with non-zero stack air releases reported in 1995, exit gas velocities were estimated for 11,950 facilities based on the facilities' 3-digit SIC code. The remaining 188 facilities (13,204 facilities minus 13,016 facilities) reported 3-digit SIC codes outside the range of 201 to 399, or reported no SIC code. For these facilities, an exit gas velocity was assigned based on either the 2-digit SIC code (if a valid one was available) or on the median exit gas velocity for all 108,590 unique stacks in AFS and NET. The median exit gas velocity for all 108,590 stacks from AFS and NET is 8.80 m/sec (28.9 ft/sec), considerably larger than the previously used default value of 0.01 m/sec for TRI facilities. in ------- TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ii TABLE OF CONTENTS iv 1.

INTRODUCTION In July 1997, the EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) reviewed and commented on the methodology used in the Risk-Screening Environmental Indicators Model developed by EPA's Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT). In response to one of SAB's comments, EPA sought to improve the estimate of facility stack height used in modeling air emissions of Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) chemicals. At the time of SAB's review, all stacks in the Indicators Model were assumed to be ten meters (32.8 feet) high. This report describes the Agency's efforts to improve the accuracy of the Indicators Model by incorporating facility-specific stack heights where available, or by estimating stack height by facility characteristics, such as the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code. In response to another SAB comment, the Agency conducted a "ground-truthing" analysis of the air pathway component of the Indicators Model (Bouwes and Hassur, 1998). In the course of this analysis, the Agency determined that the accuracy of the model could be further improved by also incorporating facility-specific exit gas velocities where available, or by estimating exit gas velocity by facility characteristics, such as the SIC code. There are a number of possible data sources to use for both facility-specific stack heights and exit gas velocities and estimates of stack heights and exit gas velocities by facility characteristics. These data sources include EPA's AIRS Facility Subsystem (AFS) database within the Aerometric Information Retrieval System (AIRS); EPA's National Emission Trends Database (NET); and databases from individual States, such as California, New York, and Wisconsin. This report documents the Agency's effort to analyze the appropriateness of the AFS and NET stack height and exit gas velocity data for use in the Indicators Model and presents the way in which the AFS and NET data and additional data from individual States are used in the model. In Section 2 of this memo, AFS and the data elements it can provide to estimate stack heights are described. In Section 3, overviews of NET and State data are provided, including a description of how stack height data for facilities present in both NET and AFS are treated to prevent double- counting. Sections 4 and 5 present statistical analyses of the stack height data in AFS and NET, respectively. Section 6 describes the way in which facility-specific data, obtained from both AFS and States, and the results of the statistical analyses of stack heights are implemented in the Indicators Model. Finally, Section 7 presents the analyses of exit gas velocity data and describes the way these results are implemented in the Indicators Model. ------- 2. AFS OVERVIEW 2.1 INTRODUCTION TO AFS AFS is a component of AIRS, which is administered by EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS). AIRS, which is a computerized database management system for airborne pollution in the United States, consists of four subsystems. Each subsystem addresses a different (but in many cases related) aspect of the regulatory requirements of the Clean Air Act. AFS contains emissions, compliance, and enforcement data on stationary sources of air pollution. Included sources cover the spectrum from large industrial facilities to relatively small operations such as dry cleaners, although facilities must meet certain threshold requirements to be included in AFS. These threshold requirements vary by pollutant and are discussed below. In general, facilities collect emissions data in compliance with their permits and send the data to their State environmental agencies. Some emissions data are based on actual measurements; others are based on estimation methods. Sometimes inspectors collect emissions data. Most facilities prepare emissions inventories once every five years. Each year, States consolidate the data received from facilities reporting in that year and send the data to the EPA Regional Offices, which enter the data into AFS. At the time of this analysis, the most recent data for a given facility could be from any year between 1993 to 1997. 2.2 POLLUTANTS INCLUDED IN AFS AFS includes data on a total of 52 specific pollutants or pollutant classes (not counting fugitive emissions, visible emissions, coke oven emissions, fugitive dust, odors, and other). These data include release estimates for the following five air pollutants: •D paniculate matter smaller than ten microns (PM10); • sulfur oxides, with sulfur dioxide (SO2) as a marker for all SOX; •D nitrogen oxides, with nitrogen dioxide (NO2) as a marker for all NOX; •D carbon monoxide (CO); and •D lead (Pb). These are the "criteria" pollutants for which EPA's OAQPS has set National Ambient Air Quality Standards. (Although PM10 is the current particulate criterion pollutant, total particulate mass (PT) was the previous criterion for particulates. Depending upon the vintage of a given facility's data, PT may be listed in place of PM10.) The thresholds for including emissions data in AFS are 1,000 tons per year of CO; five tons per year of Pb; and 100 tons per year for each of the other pollutants, including PM10, SO2, and NO2 Even when a facility exceeds threshold emissions of one pollutant, it might not exceed the threshold and hence not report for another pollutant. For example, if a facility estimates annual releases of 150 ------- tons of SO2 and 500 tons of CO, AFS will list the facility's estimated SO2 emissions but not its CO emissions. The 39 pollutant and pollutant classes in AFS that are either TRI chemicals or likely to contain TRI chemicals are presented in Table 1. Table 1 Pollutant and Pollutant Classes in AFS which are TRI Chemicals or Assumed to Include TRI Chemicals acetylenes aldehydes ammonia antimony compounds * aromatics arsenic arsenic compounds * asbestos * barium compounds benzene * beryllium beryllium compounds * cadmium cadmium compounds * chlorofluorocarbons chlorophenols chromium compounds * cobalt compounds * copper compounds cyanide compounds * fluorides glycol ethers * hydrochloric acid * hydrofluoric acid * ketones lead lead compounds * manganese compounds * mercury mercury compounds * nickel compounds * olefins organic acids polybrominated biphenyls polynuclear aromatics selenium compounds * vinyl chloride * VOCs zinc 2.3 * indicates that chemical or chemical class is classified as a Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP). EMISSION AND STACK HEIGHT DATA IN AFS APS tracks data in a hierarchy with four levels: (1) facilities; (2) stacks, the locations at which emissions are introduced into the atmosphere; (3) points, the processes that produce pollutant emissions; and (4) segments, which are components of the processes. For the criteria pollutants, estimated emissions are available in pounds per year at the facility level. For the HAPs, emissions may be estimated using "emissions factors" for specific production processes at the segment level. These processes are categorized by Source Classification Codes (SCCs), six-character identifications of the specific production processes. Each facility in AFS has a primary SIC code, recorded at the four-digit level. The primary SIC code reflects the principal product or service generated by the facility. Within a facility, each stack is assigned a stack identification number. For each stack, the rate of emission in mass per time ------- of each stack pollutant (identified by CAS number or other chemical identification number) is provided, along with the non-zero height of the stack measured in feet. 3. OVERVIEW OF STACK HEIGHT DATA IN NET AND STATE DATABASES 3.1 NATIONAL EMISSION TRENDS DATABASE EPA's National Emission Trends (NET) database became available to OPPT early in 1998, well after relevant data for the project were obtained from AFS. EPA decided to use stack height data from NET to augment the AFS data because some States not included in AFS were included in NET. The NET database provides information on stack height measured in feet, and the annual emission rates of five criteria pollutants: VOCs, NOX, CO, SO2, and PM10. To prevent double- counting of stacks from facilities in both AFS and NET, facilities present in both databases were identified based on the AFS ID. (From NET, EPA took the State Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) code, county FIPS code, and plant ID and concatenated them to form an identification number equivalent to an AFS ID.) If stack height data for a given AFS ID were present in both databases, the data in AFS were kept for further analyses, and the data in NET were removed from further consideration. The NET database does not include an EPA ID for facilities, and thus specific facilities in common to TRI and NET cannot be identified, nor can the number of facilities in common be estimated. 3.2 STATE DATA For three States not included in AFS (California, New York, and Wisconsin), EPA was able to obtain facility-specific data on stack heights. For California, 98 facilities matched TRI facilities; for New York, 279 facilities matched TRI facilities; and for Wisconsin, 44 facilities matched TRI facilities. Not all of these facilities contributed stack height data to the analysis, however, as not all facilities reported non-zero stack air releases for 1995. Again, note that although these facilities may also be present in the NET database, they cannot be identified as TRI facilities in NET because NET does not include an EPA ID for facilities. 4. ANALYSES OF STACK HEIGHT DATA IN AFS 4.1 IDENTIFICATION OF FACILITIES IN COMMON TO BOTH TRI AND AFS To use facility-specific stack height data in the Indicators Model wherever possible, the Agency attempted to identify TRI facilities in AFS for those States that reported to AFS. The match was performed as follows. For the reporting facilities, the AFS database includes an EPA ID, the only facility identifier common to both the TRI and AFS databases. On a TRI Form R, a facility is asked to report up to four EPA IDs associated with the facility. EPA identified TRI forms with non- zero stack releases, obtained all EPA IDs reported by those facilities on their forms, and matched the TRI facilities with the AFS facilities by EPA ID. For the 1995 TRI reporting year, which, at the onset ------- of this analysis, was the most recent year with TRI data available, there are 41,528 Forms R with non- zero stack releases, submitted by 13,204 facilities. These 13,204 facilities map to 12,106 EPA IDs. (Some TRI facilities do not have or do not report an EPA ID; others have more than one EPA ID. It is also possible for one EPA ID to match to more than one TRI ID.) EPA identified 4,813 facilities in AFS that have primary 4-digit SIC codes in the range 2011 through 3999, not including Federal facilities, and that have stacks with non-zero stack height. EPA was able to link the 12,106 TRI EPA IDs to 1,231 AFS EPA IDs, albeit with some overlap, due to some TRI facilities having more than one EPA ID, and other TRI facilities sharing EPA IDs. After completing this analysis, EPA found 1,212 EPA IDs which represent 1,209 unique TRI facilities with non-zero stack heights in common to both AFS and TRI. In other words, about a quarter of the AFS facilities in the SIC code range required to report to TRI and with non-zero stack height can be found in TRI. Only about nine percent of TRI facilities with non-zero stack releases (1,209 of 13,204) are found in AFS with non-zero stack height. The low percent of matches can be explained by the following reasons: •D AFS data are not fully representative of all States; •D AFS reporting thresholds may exceed the threshold for reporting to TRI; and, •D AFS only covers 39 pollutant and pollutant classes that are either TRI chemicals or likely to contain TRI chemicals. 4.2 ANALYSIS OF STACK HEIGHT DATA BY CHEMICALS EMITTED AND SIC CODE After identifying facilities in common to both AFS and TRI, EPA began investigating ways of estimating stack heights for TRI facilities not in AFS or in the three State databases. First, EPA identified 37,390 unique stacks in AFS associated with the 4,813 facilities listing their primary facility SIC code in the range 2011 through 3999, not including Federal facilities. The mean height of these stacks is 46.7 feet (14.2 meters). Based on the pollutants recorded in AFS as being emitted from these stacks, the Agency classified each of the 37,390 stacks as either "emitting a possible TRI chemical" or "not emitting a possible TRI chemical." The set of AFS pollutants that are classified as possible TRI chemicals for the purpose of this analysis are shown in Table 1. (It is important to note that the VOCs and other chemical classes may contain more than just TRI chemicals.) If at least one pollutant emitted from a stack was considered a possible TRI chemical, then the stack was designated as "emitting a possible TRI chemical". If none of the emitted pollutants were considered possible TRI chemicals, then the stack was designated as "not emitting a possible TRI chemical". EPA then investigated the possibility that stack height varied by whether the stack emitted possible TRI chemicals or not. If stacks that do not emit possible TRI chemicals have different heights than stacks emitting possible TRI chemicals, then to include stacks that do not emit possible TRI chemicals in further analyses could bias the stack height results. Of the 37,390 stacks present, 16,889 (45.2%) emit pollutants considered as possible TRI chemicals. The remaining 20,501 emit only chemicals that are not considered as possible TRI chemicals from the AFS database. The mean ------- height of those stacks emitting possible TRI chemicals is 46.9 feet (14.3 meters), with a standard deviation of 41.4 feet (12.6 meters). The mean height of the remaining stacks is 46.5 feet (14.2 meters), with a standard deviation of 35.4 feet (10.8 meters). The difference in the mean heights of these two groups of stacks is not statistically significant, as determined by using a Student's t-test to compare the means. (The Agency compared means, rather than medians, because the test of means is a more powerful statistical test than the test of medians. The more powerful test is better able to differentiate dissimilar groups.) In the course of the above analysis, the Agency noticed substantial variability in stack height across primary SIC codes of facilities in AFS. Thus consideration was given to estimating stack height as a function of the SIC code of the facility. For 2-digit, 3-digit, and 4-digit SIC codes, EPA evaluated the mean stack heights for the two groups of stacks — those emitting possible TRI chemicals and those that do not — by testing the equality of the means by using a Student's t-test at the five percent level of significance. (The significance level refers to the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis that the means are equal when actually it should not be rej ected; this is the probability of committing a Type I error.) For each SIC group, EPA used an F-test to check whether the variances of the two stack groups were different. If the variances were equal, EPA assumed the two groups were drawn from the same population, and a Student's t-test was used to compare the means. If the variances were not equal, EPA assumed the two groups were from two different populations, and therefore used a modified Student's t-test, accounting for the unequal variances, to compare the means. At the two-digit SIC code level, 14 SIC code groups indicated significant height differences between the two groups of stacks and six did not. At the 3-digit level, 55 SIC code groups indicated significant height differences between the two groups of stacks and 74 did not. At the four-digit level, 109 SIC groups indicated significant height differences between the two groups of stacks and 303 did not. 4.3 ANALYSIS OF OTHER FACILITY CHARACTERISTICS IN TRI USING AFS DATA The Agency also tried to determine if certain facility characteristics tracked in TRI affect stack height. If stack heights vary in systematic ways with information available in TRI, that information could be used to refine estimates of stack height in the Indicators Model. Specifically, EPA examined the potential impact on stack height of TRI stack air release volumes and number of stacks present at the facility. The key hypothesis being tested was that facilities with larger TRI stack air releases or greater numbers of stacks would have taller stacks. Eighteen ordinary least squares regressions were run, one for each two-digit SIC code in the range of 20 to 39. Eighteen regressions were estimated, instead of twenty, because there are no facilities with non-zero TRI stack air releases present in both TRI and AFS in SIC codes 21 and 23. The dependent variable was facility stack height, estimated as the median height of all stacks present at AFS facilities that could be linked to TRI facilities. Coefficients for two independent variables (and an intercept term) were estimated. The independent variables were: (a) stack air release volumes summed over all TRI chemicals at the facility; and (b) number of stacks indicated for the facility in ------- AFS. Of the eighteen regressions estimated, only two (SIC codes 30 and 37) had stack air release coefficients statistically different from zero at the five percent level of significance. Based on the fact that most regressions resulted in no significant differences, the Agency concluded that the volume of TRI stack air releases and the total number of stacks at a facility are not significant determinants of stack height. 5. ANALYSES OF STACK HEIGHT DATA IN NET As with AFS, EPA evaluated the possibility that stack heights within NET varied by whether the stack emitted possible TRI chemicals. Unlike AFS, NET does not record specific pollutants emitted from each stack. NET does, however, record annual VOC emissions from each stack. EPA identified 90,167 unique stacks in NET associated with 16,682 facilities listing their primary facility SIC code in the range 2011 through 3999, not including Federal facilities. The mean height of these stacks is 49.9 feet (15.2 meters). For the purposes of this analysis, the Agency labeled any stack with non-zero VOC emissions as a stack emitting possible TRI chemicals. Based on this definition, of the 90,167 stacks used in the analysis, 62,245 (69.0%) are classified as emitting possible TRI chemicals. The mean stack height of those stacks emitting possible TRI chemicals is 46.7 feet (14.2 meters), with a standard deviation of 47.8 feet (14.6 meters). The mean height of the remaining stacks is 57.0 feet (17.4 meters), with a standard deviation of 51.0 feet (15.6 meters). The difference in the mean heights of these two groups of stacks is statistically significant, as determined by using a Student's t-test to compare the means. (Recall that for AFS data, the comparable analysis found that the difference in the mean heights of the two groups of stacks was not statistically significant.) 6. IMPLEMENTATION OF RESULTS OF STATISTICAL ANALYSES IN THE INDICATORS MODEL 6.1 FACILITY-SPECIFIC STACK HEIGHTS For the 421 California, New York, and Wisconsin facilities and the 1,209 facilities in common to the TRI and AFS databases, a representative stack height for each facility was estimated by calculating the median height for all of a facility's stacks with non-zero height. The median stack height was chosen rather than the mean because stack heights may not be normally distributed. No matter how the stack heights are distributed, the median is the appropriate measure of central tendency. For a facility with symmetrically-distributed stack heights, the median equals the mean. Therefore, for a given facility, the median of its stack heights was used as that facility's stack height in the Indicators Model. 6.2 ESTIMATED STACK HEIGHTS For the remaining TRI facilities with non-zero stack releases for which facility-specific data were not available, stack heights were estimated from AFS and NET based on facility SIC codes. ------- EPA decided that the 3-digit SIC code was the appropriate level at which to analyze and use stack height data. At the 2-digit level, differences between stacks emitting TRI chemicals and stacks not emitting TRI chemicals are often masked because the variance in each population is so large. From a practical standpoint, 2-digit SIC codes represent too gross a level of aggregation for purposes of estimating stack height. At the other extreme, 4-digit SIC codes offer too fine a level of disaggregation; not only might one not expect much difference in stack height between, say, a facility manufacturing creamery butter and a facility manufacturing natural, processed, and imitation cheese, but the number of observations at the 4-digit level are often too few to make a meaningful comparison of the two stack groups. Thus, the remaining TRI facilities were classified into 3-digit SIC code groups by the assigned primary SIC code in the TRI database (i.e., the leading three digits of the first 4-digit SIC code listed). Of the 13,204 TRI facilities reporting non-zero air releases in 1995, 84% reported only one unique 3-digit SIC code; 12% reported two unique 3-digit SIC codes; 3% reported three, 0.8% reported four, and 0.2% reported five. EPA determined that of the 37,390 stacks being analyzed from AFS and the 90,167 stacks being analyzed from NET, there were 18,967 stacks in common to the two databases. To avoid double-counting these stacks in the analysis, the Agency used the stack height data from AFS for these stacks, and removed the corresponding NET data from further consideration. Augmenting the stacks from AFS with the non-duplicative stacks from NET resulted in a total of 108,590 stacks (37,390 from AFS and 71,200 from NET). Each TRI facility within a 3-digit SIC code group was assigned the median stack height of the AFS and NET stacks within that 3-digit SIC group according to the following hierarchy: 1. If the combined AFS and NET stack height data for that 3-digit SIC code group indicated no statistically significant difference between the mean height of stacks emitting possible TRI chemicals and the mean height of stacks emitting non-TRI chemicals, then the median was estimated over all stacks in that group, regardless of whether the stack emitted possible TRI chemicals. This median height was then used as the estimated stack height for all TRI facilities in the 3-digit SIC code group that did not have facility-specific data in AFS or in the three State databases. 2. If the AFS and NET stack height data for that 3-digit SIC code group did indicate a statistically significant difference between the mean height of stacks emitting possible TRI chemicals and the mean height of stacks emitting non-TRI chemicals, then the median for only those stacks emitting possible TRI chemicals was used as the estimated stack height for all TRI facilities in that 3-digit SIC code group. In both approaches, the stack heights of facilities that occur in both TRI and AFS (i.e., facility-specific data) are included in the calculation of the median height of their 3-digit SIC code groups. State data are not included in these analyses because of the potential of double-counting with NET data, which includes data from California, New York, and Wisconsin. (Recall that NET facilities cannot be matched to TRI facilities because there is no facility identifier in common.) Table ------- 2 presents the number of 3-digit SIC codes with median stack heights falling in particular stack height ranges for 139 of the 140 unique 3-digit SIC codes in the range 201 to 399. (No estimates of stack heights were available for facilities in SIC code 316, luggage manufacturing.) Note that the majority of SIC codes have median stack heights between 9.0 and 11.9m; only one SIC code falls into each of the two highest ranges of stack heights. Table A-l in Appendix A indicates each 3-digit SIC code group in the range 201 to 399, the median stack height as estimated from the AFS and NET data, the estimation technique used (whether the median was calculated over all stacks or only those emitting possible TRI chemicals), and the number of 1995 TRI facilities using that value. Table A-l also presents the median stack heights and the estimation technique used for 2-digit and 4-digit SIC codes within the ranges of 20 to 39 and 2011 to 3999, respectively. ------- Table 2 Median Stack Heights by SIC Code Range of Stack Heights (meters) 6.0 to 6. 9m 7.0 to 7. 9m 8.0 to 8. 9m 9.0 to 9. 9m 10.0 to 10.9m ll.Oto 11.9m 12.0 to 12.9m 13.0 to 13.9m 14.0 to 14.9m 15.0 to 15.9m 16.0 to 16.9m 17.0 to 17.9m 18.0 to 18.9m 19.0 to 19.9m 20.0 to 24.9 m 25.0 to 29. 9m 30.0 to 39. 9m TOTAL: 6.0 to 39.9 m Number of 3-Digit SIC Codes with Median Stack Height in Range 7 13 13 37 25 11 14 2 2 3 2 0 2 2 4 1 1 139 6.3 COMPARISON TO PRIOR ASSUMPTION OF 10 m STACK HEIGHT In contrast to the previously assumed value often meters (32.8 feet), this modified approach using AFS, NET, and State data concludes that 6,173 facilities are estimated to have stack heights above ten meters, and 7,031 facilities are estimated to have stack heights below ten meters. The mean stack height for all TRI facilities reporting non-zero stack air releases is estimated to be 11.1 meters (36.5 feet), with a standard deviation of 5.00 meters (16.4 feet), and a median height of 9.14 10 ------- meters (30.0) feet. Note that these stack heights are not very different than the previously assumed value of ten meters. 6.4 ESTIMATION OF STACK HEIGHTS FOR TRI FACILITIES WITH MISSING OR INVALID 3-DIGIT SIC CODES Of the 13,204 TRI facilities with non-zero stack air releases reported in 1995, stack heights were estimated as described above for 13,021 facilities. The estimation approaches used included: 1,209 facilities estimated directly from AFS; 69 facilities estimated from California State data; 192 facilities estimated from New York State data; 37 facilities estimated from Wisconsin State data; and 11,514 estimated based on the facilities' 3-digit SIC code. The remaining 183 facilities (13,204 facilities minus 13,021 facilities) reported SIC codes outside the range of 201 to 399, at the 3-digit level, or reported no SIC code. (As noted previously, not all data provided by California, New York and Wisconsin were useable, because not all facilities reported non-zero stack air releases in 1995.) For these 183 facilities, a stack height was assigned based on either the 2-digit SIC code (if a valid one was available) or on the median stack height for all 108,590 stacks from AFS and NET. The median stack height for all 108,590 stacks from AFS and NET is 10.67 m (35.0 ft). This median stack height of 10.67 m for stacks should not be confused with the median height of 9.14 m for all TRI facilities, which is based on AFS, NET, and State data, as described in Section 6.3. The median stack height at the 2-digit SIC code level was calculated according to the hierarchy used for the 3- digit SIC code analysis, presented in Section 6.2. Stack heights were estimated at the 2-digit SIC code level for 27 facilities. The stack heights for the remaining 156 facilities were estimated using the median stack height of all 108,590 stacks (10.67 m). Two significant figures are used for all stack heights in the Indicators Model. 7. ANALYSES OF EXIT GAS VELOCITIES 7.1 FACILITY-SPECIFIC EXIT GAS VELOCITIES An analysis similar to that performed for stack heights was conducted for exit gas velocities. Exit gas velocity data were available from AFS, NET, and the New York and Wisconsin databases. (Data from California did not include exit gas velocities.) For the 216 New York and Wisconsin facilities and the 850 facilities in common to the TRI and AFS databases with non-zero exit gas velocities, a representative exit gas velocity for each facility was estimated by calculating the median exit gas velocity for all of a facility's stacks with non-zero height and non-zero exit gas velocity. As was done for stack heights, the median exit gas velocity was chosen rather than the mean because exit gas velocities may not be normally distributed. No matter how the exit gas velocities are distributed, the median is the appropriate measure of central tendency. Therefore, for a given facility, the median of its exit gas velocities was used as that facility's exit gas velocity in the Indicators Model. As with the stack height analysis, not all facilities provided by New York and Wisconsin could be matched to TRI facilities with non-zero stack air releases. 11 ------- 7.2 ESTIMATED EXIT GAS VELOCITIES For the remaining TRI facilities with non-zero stack releases and non-zero stack heights for which facility-specific data were not available, exit gas velocities were estimated from AFS and NET based on facility 3-digit SIC codes. As previously mentioned, EPA determined that of the 37,390 stacks being analyzed from AFS and the 90,167 stacks being analyzed from NET, there were 18,967 stacks in common to the two databases. To avoid double-counting these stacks in the analysis, the Agency used the exit gas velocity data from AFS for these stacks and removed the exit gas velocity data in NET from further consideration. Therefore, augmenting the stacks from AFS with the non- duplicative stacks from NET resulted in 108,590 stacks (37,390 from AFS and 71,200 from NET). Each TRI facility within a 3-digit SIC code group was assigned the median exit gas velocity of the AFS and NET stacks within that 3-digit SIC group according to the following hierarchy: 1. If the combined AFS and NET stack height data for that 3-digit SIC code group indicated no statistically significant difference between the mean exit gas velocity of stacks emitting possible TRI chemicals and the mean exit gas velocity of stacks emitting non-TRI chemicals, then the median was estimated over all stacks in that group, regardless of whether the stack emitted possible TRI chemicals. This median exit gas velocity was then used as the estimated exit gas velocity for all TRI facilities in the 3-digit SIC code group that did not have facility-specific data in AFS or in the New York and Wisconsin databases. 2. If the AFS and NET exit gas velocity data for that 3-digit SIC code group did indicate a statistically significant difference between the mean exit gas velocity of stacks emitting possible TRI chemicals and the mean exit gas velocity of stacks emitting non-TRI chemicals, then the median for only those stacks emitting possible TRI chemicals was used as the estimated exit gas velocity for all TRI facilities in that 3-digit SIC code group. In both approaches, the exit gas velocities of facilities that occur in both TRI and AFS (i.e., facility-specific data) are included in the calculation of the median exit gas velocity of their 3-digit SIC code groups. State data are not included in these analyses because of the potential of double- counting with NET data, which includes data from New York and Wisconsin. (Recall that NET facilities cannot be matched to TRI facilities because there is no facility identifier in common.) Table 3 presents the number of 3-digit SIC codes with median exit gas velocities falling in a particular exit gas velocity range for 137 of the 140 unique 3-digit SIC codes reported in TRI. (No estimates of exit gas velocities were available for facilities in SIC codes 23 6 (girls', children's, and infants' outerwear), 316 (luggage manufacturing), and 317 (handbags and other personal leather goods).) Note that for all 3-digit SIC codes in the range of 201 to 399, the median exit gas velocity is greater than or equal to 4.0 m/sec. 12 ------- Table 3 Median Exit Gas Velocities by SIC Code Range of Exit Gas Velocities (m/sec) 4.0 to 4.9 m/sec 5.0 to 5. 9 m/sec 6.0 to 6.9 m/sec 7.0 to 7.9 m/sec 8.0 to 8.9 m/sec 9.0 to 9.9 m/sec 10.0 to 10. 9 m/sec 11.0 to 11. 9 m/sec 12.0 to 12.9 m/sec 13.0 to 13. 9 m/sec 14.0 to 14.9 m/sec TOTAL: Number of 3-Digit SIC Codes with Median Exit Gas Velocity in Range 3 4 4 12 44 26 26 8 7 1 2 137 7.3 COMPARISON TO PRIOR ASSUMPTION OF 0.01 m/sec EXIT GAS VELOCITY The mean exit gas velocity for all TRI facilities reporting non-zero stack air releases is estimated to be 9.92 meters per second (32.5 feet per second), with a standard deviation of 11.0 meters per second (36.0 feet per second), and a median exit gas velocity of 8.90 meters per second (29.2 feet per second). Note that these exit gas velocities are quite different than the previously assumed value of 0.01 meters per second. Of the 13,204 TRI facilities with non-zero stack air releases in 1995,13,192 are estimated to have exit gas velocities above 0.01 meters per second. Only twelve facilities are estimated to have exit gas velocities less than or equal to 0.01 meters per second. 7.4 ESTIMATION OF EXIT GAS VELOCITIES MISSING OR INVALID 3-DIGIT SIC CODES FOR TRI FACILITIES WITH Of the 13,204 TRI facilities with non-zero stack air releases reported in 1995, exit gas velocities were estimated for 13,016 facilities. The estimation approaches used included: 850 facilities estimated directly from AFS; 192 facilities estimated from New York State data; 24 facilities estimated from Wisconsin State data; and 11,950 estimated based on the facilities' 3-digit SIC code. 13 ------- The remaining 188 facilities (13,204 facilities minus 13,016 facilities) reported SIC codes outside the range of 201 to 399, at the 3-digit level, or reported no SIC code. For these facilities, an exit gas velocity was assigned based on either the 2-digit SIC code (if a valid one was available) or on the median exit gas velocity for all 108,590 stacks. The median exit gas velocity for all 108,590 stacks from AFS and NET is 8.80 m/sec (28.9 ft/sec). This median exit gas velocity of 8.80 m/sec for stacks should not be confused with the median exit gas velocity of 8.90 m/sec for all TRI facilities, described in Section 7.3. The median exit gas velocity at the 2-digit SIC code level was calculated according to the hierarchy used for the 3-digit SIC code analysis, presented in Section 7.2. Table A-2 in Appendix A indicates each 3-digit SIC code group present in TRI, the median exit gas velocity as estimated from the AFS and NET data, the estimation technique used (whether the median was calculated over all stacks or only those emitting possible TRI chemicals), and the number of 1995 TRI facilities using that value. Table A-2 also presents the median exit gas velocities and the estimation technique used for 2-digit and 4-digit SIC codes, within the ranges of 20 to 39 and 2011 to 3999, respectively. Two significant figures are used for all exit gas velocities in the Indicators Model. 8. REFERENCES Bouwes, Sr., N.W., and S.M. Hassur. 1998.
