The completed report includes recommendations for greenway stewardship, education, and best management practices as trail align- ments, access points, maintenance and management.

Greenways along both creeks provide significant connections within Norristown as well as connecting significant resources found in neighboring townships. 3 STONY CREEK/ SAW MILL RUN GREENWAY PLAN CHAPTER 1 since they provide the important linkage in the greenway. Understanding their physical charac- teristics is important in the development of poten- tial greenway recommendations. Chapter 5 assesses existing greenway corridor features. Currently there are many physical and cultural features along each stream corridor that can significantly contribute to the future greenway plan. Chapter 6 describes several greenway goals that were formulated based upon the in-depth analysis of community trends, needs and the physical re- sources of each stream corridor. These goals re- flect the numerous conversations held with key stakeholders, greenway public meetings, and study committee discussions. Chapter 7 provides specific recommendations that address each goal. A bulk of this chapter focuses on trail routes and access points along the green- way. Other recommendations are made for fu- ture education opportunities, community events, and public awareness of the stream. Chapter 8 pulls together the individual recommen- dations to establish an overall implementation strategy. The Plan process is described in Chapter 9.

    APPENDIX B STATIONARY POINT SOURCES Bureau of Air Quality Department of Environmental Protection This page blank for copying purposes. APPENDIX B-1 Preparation of Pennsylvania Point Source Inventories and Instructions for Completing the Annual Emissions Reporting Forms Bureau of Air Quality Department of Environmental Protection This page blank for copying purposes. A. Introduction This document describes the methodology used by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to develop inventories of air pollutants emitted as required by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Consolidated Emission Reporting Rule (CERR) (40 CFR Part 51, Subpart A). The 2002 inventory will also be the base year inventory for State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision development for PM2.5, 8- hour ozone and regional haze. The CERR requires the Commonwealth to report actual emissions for the following pollutants: sulfur oxides, volatile organic compounds (VOC), nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, lead and lead compounds, primary PM2.5, primary PM10, and ammonia (40 CFR 51.15(a)). The CERR lists primary PM as an optional pollutant for reporting purposes. The CERR does not require the submission of hazardous air pollutant emissions data. Emissions from point sources are reported for 65 of the Commonwealth’s 67 counties. Point source emissions from sources located in Allegheny County are reported directly to EPA by the Allegheny County Health Department. Point source emissions from sources located in Philadelphia Counties are reported directly by the Philadelphia County Health Department, Air Management Services. The annual emission inventory must be temporally resolved to provide seasonal data for air quality modeling purposes. Temporal adjustments to the annual inventory are made because of seasonal differences in the rate of emissions or activity, or to apportion emissions to a particular season or day.
