Quantifying EmissionsExamples
1,000 tons/year NOx from a gas plant:
50 tons/day CO from on-road vehicles in Phoenix:
10 pounds/year mercury from a small power plant:

Material BalanceEmission Factors
4
Quantifying EmissionsEmission Factor
◦ Conversion factor provided by EPA (AP-42) or other source to quantify emissions
◦ E.g., lbs mercury emitted per ton of coal burned
Activity◦ Collected by the person that estimates
the emissions ◦ Process data (tons of coal burned,
hours of operation)Emission Factor and Activity
used to estimate Emission rate for a single pollutant◦ E.g., 10 pounds/year mercury from
small power plant
5
Quantifying (cont.)Basic estimating equation
E = EF x A = EF x activity (throughput)
Where◦ E = Emissions rate (TEISS calculates)◦ EF = Emission factor (TEISS provides)◦ A = Activity (aka throughput, that you collect and
enter into TEISS calculators)
E
6
Where do I get the necessary data to calculate emissions?Process activity
◦Directly from source◦From permits◦Monitoring/CEMs◦Questionnaires/Surveys
LOTS of info on the internet
7
For each type of source:Coming up, Data Collection slides
and TEISS Data Entry slides for each source type
Data Collection slides ◦Information you collect in real world
termsTEISS Data Entry slides
◦TEISS has a structure based on the NEI
◦Slides explain how data you collect fits into the structure
8
Point Source Data CollectionPhysical Location (address, lat/long)
Stack parameters ◦Height◦Diameter◦Flowrate◦Exit gas temperature
9
Point Source Data Collection (cont.)
Process-level information, leads to SCC selection◦Flow diagram◦Materials being consumed (type and
amount)◦Boiler throughput◦Operating schedules◦Control devices/efficiencies
10
Point Source TEISS Data Entry• Facility Data
– Site Name – Physical Location (address, lat/long)
• Release Points • Emission Units • Processes • Control Equipment?• Period (time frame-usually annual)• Emissions (you can enter or calculate
with TEISS)
11
Nonpoint Source Data CollectionProcess information
◦ Leads to SCC selection ◦ Types of operations
Gasoline storage tank refilling Unpaved roads
“Activity data” needed to calculate emissions◦ Type of refilling process (splash or
submerged)◦ VMT, vehicle weight, speed, road silt
content, etc.Pollution-management practices or
control measures◦ Dust abatement with water or petro-based
chemical
12
Nonpoint Source TEISS Data EntryLocation◦If enter data for on-reservation
sources, your reservation◦If import county-level data from NEI
database, a county
Process--leads to SCC selectionControl Equipment/Measures Period (usually annual)Emissions (you can enter or
calculate with TEISS)
13
Mobile Source Data CollectionOn-Road
◦Road types◦Vehicle types & use◦Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT)
Off-Road◦Engine types◦Horsepower◦Hours of use
Model used to estimate emissions
14
Mobile Source TEISS Data EntryLocation
◦If enter data for on-reservation sources, your reservation
◦If import county-level data from NEI database, a county
ProcessesPeriodEmissions (you enter from your
estimates based on road lengths/types or from EPA model calculations)
15
Fire Data CollectionSpecial Case: covers large area,
like nonpoint sources, but in defined location like point sources
Data elements include◦ Dates of fire◦ Latitude/Longitude coordinates◦ Fire type (man-made or natural)◦ Acres burned
New EPA format and TEISS treat fires as EVENTS
16

wildfire)Emissions (from EPA or calculated
with TEISS)

Homework due in 5 days:Make a list of nonpoint sources on the
reservation that you plan to include in your EIReview Section 8.0 of the ITEP Tribal EI
QAPP template. Use TEISS calculators to write out estimation methods and data you need to collect for the nonpoint sources, similar to Table 6 in QAPP template
Write up the Nonpoint section of your QAPP and email it to instructors
