Air Emissions Inventory for Selected Maryland National Guard Sources.
Abstract
The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA-90) as well as other Federal, State, and local programs have expanded the requirements to quantify and report the amount of air pollutant emissions released into the atmosphere. The quantification of air pollutant emissions from a commercial facility, such as a military installation, is accomplished by conducting an air emissions inventory (AEI). The Army National Guard of the State of Maryland would like to be proactive with an air emission program. Air Emission Inventories of Maryland National Guard facilities are needed to verify whether the facilities are considered major air pollution sources and therefore need to comply with Title V Permits and Risk Management Plans. This study provides a scientific approach to estimating the air emissions from stationary sources at selected Maryland National Guard sites. Researchers and staff at the Maryland National Guard Environmental Branch selected 13 armories as sites for Air Emissions Inventories. The researchers evaluated a number of methods for quantifying air pollutants and selected "emission factors" as the method of estimating emissions.
