Re: FW: Railroads and Commercial Marine Vessels

["Allan Ostrander" <ostranda@michigan.gov>]

Jon and Carlos,

Michgan used the EPA Final 2002 NEI marine vessels and railroad records
for import to the repository. The b(a)p emissions will be in the NEI
records and there is a place for the emission factor used although
sometimes the EPA doesn't inclued the NIF fields that are listed as not
requiered in the NIF documentation. Hope this helps.

Steering Committee,

Carlos requires the emission factors for b(a)p emissions from
commercial
marine vessels and railroads. Could someone help him out? It appears
that
all 8 of the other states/province have emissions for railroads and 7
or the
other 8 have them for marine vessels.

Thanks!

Jon

Jon,

Kevin McGarry who prepared the 2002 non-road inventory doesn't have 
emission factors to estimate  Commercial Marine Vessels or Railroads
b(a)p emissions. Can you please provide these emission factors. He
says
that if he has them, he will plug them into the inventory program
straight forward.

Thanks

Carlos,

Here is the group's most recent version of the methodology for
residential
wood burning. The DOE website that has the wood consumption data is
listed
on the first page. If you can confirm that this is the source for your
activity data, we can simply make a note of that in the report as the
reason
for the high emissions.

Also, in addition to Commercial Marine Vessels you are also missing
emissions from Railroads. Both of these source types are estimated
separately from other non-road mobile sources.

Jon
