RE: FW: Residential Wood Combustion Update



I am not making any changes to the 2002 inventory. 
Since the MARAMA factors are gaining acceptance in our group, I will use
them in the 2005 inventory.

I was thinking in particular of the 2005 inventory.  I'm not necessarily
opposed to changing the B(a)P factors I used for the 2002 residential
wood combustion estimates, but I'm cautious about investing a large
amount of effort in 2002 updates since I'm attempting to finish my 2005
area source estimates by the end of 2006 (actually by the end of
November, since Title V fee-related work will take precedence in
December). 

I'm curious if the other states and Ontario are considering 2002
revisions based on the MARAMA factors?  I'll certainly try to keep pace
with the other states if they make updates.  Thanks,

Dennis

Dennis,

Thanks for the note. Will you be  updating the B(a)P only , or the
other
pollutants? Will you also be updating the factors for the other wood
burning devices?

After reviewing the MARAMA document, in particular Section 2.3.1, I'd
be
comfortable using the B(a)P and other factors.  Their approach looks
to
be very thorough.

Hello! Below is a link to MARAMA's residential wood combustion study
documents. Technical Memorandum #2 includes the emission factors for
different kinds of combustion devices. Table 2.3.1 has the factors for
conventional fireplaces, and includes B(a)P. Please take a look at the
document and let's discuss the possibility of using these emission
factors. We may also want to discuss using the emission factors for
other HAPs, and combustion types as well. 

Thanks,

Orlando

Hello All,



Due to an error in some of OMNI's data, revisions have been made to
portions of Technical Memorandums 1 and 2. Thanks to the keen eyes of
David Fees, OMNI realized that the treatment of zeros was not done
correctly and have revised portions of Technical Memorandums 1 and 2
to
reflect the change in average burn rates that this has caused.  The
Pechan database was not interpreted correctly and the burn rate
averaged
across all households reporting having a wood-burning device rather
than
across only households that report using their wood-burning device was
erroneously used.  This has a small but real effect on the emission
inventory (20% to 30%).  Compliments to David Fees for going through
the
documents in enough detail to find this mistake. 



The following revised documents will be placed on the Residential Wood
Combustion Section of the MARAMA website
(http://www.marama.org/visibility/ResWoodCombustion/):

1-     Technical Memorandum 1 (the Activity Data) database and report

2-     Technical Memorandum 2 ( the Emissions Inventory) database and
report

3-     Technical Memorandum 2 ( the Emissions Inventory) in SMOKE and
NIF 3.0 format

4-     A new set of comment responses from 7/28 and 8/1



Let me know if there are any questions. Regards,



Angie
