  • ERTAC Rail Emissions Inventory Part 3: Class II and III Locomotives
    ERTAC Rail Emissions Inventory Part 3: Class II and III Locomotives Michelle Bergin, GA Environmental Protection Division Matthew Harrell, IL Environmental Protection Agency Mark Janssen, Lake Michigan Air Directors Consortium Acknowledgments: Steve Sullivan, American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association David Powell, Genesee & Wyoming Inc. Dennis McGeen, Michigan Dept. of Environmental Quality Lisa Higgins, Maine Dept. of Environmental Protection Laurel Driver, US EPA, Office of Air Quality Planning and Support Byeong Kim, GA Environmental Protection Division Introduction Air protection agencies from twenty-seven states, coordinated through the Eastern Regional Technical Advisory Committee (ERTAC) and headed by the Lake Michigan Air Directors Consortium (LADCO), identified a need to better quantify and characterize rail-related emissions inventories. Traditional locomotives utilize large diesel engines, resulting in emissions of NO x, diesel PM, hydrocarbons, greenhouse gases, and other air pollutants. These emissions are sometimes concentrated in areas exceeding National Ambient Air Quality Standards. No cohesive nationwide railroad emission estimates based on local operations are known to have been made previously. Inventory development methods for locomotive emissions estimates vary from state to state and, in general, lack the spatial or temporal resolution needed to support air quality modeling and planning 1-5. The ERTAC Rail Subcommittee (ERTAC Rail) was established with active representatives from twelve member states, three regional planning offices, and the US EPA. The subcommittee’s goals are to (1) standardize agencies’ inventory development methods through a collaborative effort, (2) improve the quality of data received and the resulting emission inventories, and (3) reduce the administrative burden on railroad companies of providing data.

  • Unique Uses for Emissions Inventories in Maryland
    Unique Uses for Emissions Inventories in Maryland Roger Thunell, Chief AQ Planning Division, MDE – EPA EI Conference – August 2017 Welcome to Baltimore • During Your Visit • Crab Cakes • Microbrews • Burger Cookies • Camden Yards Focus on Three Topics • Use of CAMD data as a Regulatory Mechanism • Locomotive Survey • Temporal Improvements for Small EGUs in Modeling Inventories 3 CAMD Data as a Regulatory Mechanism • Focused on coal-fired EGUs with SCR or SNCR post-combustion controls • Baseline Starting Point - The year with the lowest recorded NOX emission rate for an entire ozone season • Using Daily CAMD data, compute the 123 30-day rolling averages for that ozone season. – (Ozone Season = 153 Days) 4 CAMD Data as a Regulatory Mechanism • Selected the highest maximum 30-day rolling average from this 123 value dataset. • This max 30-day rolling NOX emission rate represents an “achievable” emission rate for the unit – Some have referred to this as “optimization” of the unit. We would disagree and refer to it as “achievable” – Since the unit has demonstrated that it is capable of hitting this rate over an entire ozone season 5 CAMD Data as a Regulatory Mechanism • What can you do with this unit-specific “achievable” NOX rate – Design/Set permissible NOX rates per Unit • MDE has done this by setting “Indicator Rates” within our latest NOX regulation for coal-fired EGUs • The “Indicator Rates” are not identical to the “Achievable” rates but they are similar • Requires EGU owner/operators to explain why they were unable to meet the “Indicator
