Eastern Research Group (ERG) developed emissions inventories for criteria and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). The inventories will be used to support the State Implementation Plan (SIP) and other airport-related inquiries. The emissions associated with airport activities are attributed to the following sources with associated source classification codes (SCC): Commercial aviation (SCC: 2275020000) Air taxis . Piston driven (SCC: 2275060011) . Turbine driven (SCC: 2275060012) General aviation . Piston driven (SCC: 2275050011) . Turbine driven (SCC: 2275050012) Military (SCC: 2275001000) Auxiliary Power Units (SCC: 2275070000) Ground Support Equipment . Compressed natural gas (CNG)-fueled (SCC: 2268008005) . Diesel-fueled (SCC: 2270008005) . Gasoline-fueled (SCC: 2265008005) . Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)-fueled (SCC: 2267008005). To estimate emissions from these sources, ERG used the original activity data obtained for Work Order 582-11-99776-FY12-09 for calendar year 2011 which included local airport data and publicly available activity data. Additionally, ERG, via TCEQ, also obtained local aircraft specific data from the DFW area from the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) during the previous work order as well. Two approaches were used to estimate emissions from the compiled activity data. For activity data that included aircraft-specific data, ERG used the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT) to estimate emissions. If such detailed data were not available, ERG applied a more general approach for different aircraft types (i.e., air taxis, general aviation, and military aircraft) using the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s
