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 -

Statewide Rail Plan December 2009 5-1 5. the VIRGINIA RAIL SYSTEM
Statewide Rail Plan 5. THE VIRGINIA RAIL SYSTEM 5.1. FRA Requirements This Chapter of the VSRP presents information related to Virginia’s entire rail system as required by 49 CFR § 266.15 (c)(2) and 49 CFR § 266.15 (c)(6). The data required by the section is presented differently than stated in the requirement, to conform to the methodology used in the VTrans2035 documents. Virginia’s VTrans2035 methodology uses corridors connecting portions of Virginia and the surrounding states to define needs and programs. For the rail system, these corridors mirror the Class I high density freight lines. The requirement of 49 CFR § 266.15 (c)(2) is fulfilled by the Official State Railroad Map that is presented at a reduced scale in Figure 5-2. The data required by 49 CFR § 266.15 (c)(2)(i) is presented in figures 5-5 Class I Railroads and 5-10 Shortline Railroads. The data required by 49 CFR § 266.15 (c)(2)(ii) is presented in figures 5-8 and 5-9 that depict the tonnage within Virginia and the tonnage passing through Virginia. The data required by 49 CFR § 266.15 (c)(2)(iii) is presented in figure 5-13 Passenger routes in Virginia. The final requirement of 49 CFR § 266.15 (c)(2) is fulfilled by the narratives presented throughout this chapter discussion the transportation corridor, the passenger service, the Class 1 freight activity, and the Shortline Railroad profiles. 49 CFR § 266.15 (c)(6) requires, to the extent that the data is available to Virginia, detailed information about specific lines. -
