Air Emissions Inventory Guidance Document for Mobile Sources at Air Force Installations

Abstract

This report serves as a guidance document for the preparation of mobile source air emissions inventories at U.S. Air Force installations. Air emissions inventories are prepared at Air Force installations to comply with Federal, State, and local air quality regulatory requirements. Inventories are also used in the implementation of various environmental programs, including pollution prevention opportunities, emissions trading, risk assessments, and environmental auditing. Historically, most air emission inventories performed at U.S. Air Force installations have only targeted stationary sources. However, the need to conduct mobile source air emissions inventories is continually growing due to the increase in regulatory requirements associated with mobile sources. The purpose of this document is to provide a uniform and logical approach for preparing mobile source emissions inventories. The report provides recommended methodologies and emission factors for calculating actual emissions from the most common types of mobile sources found at Air Force installations, including aerospace ground equipment (AGE), aircraft flying operations, on-road vehicles, and non-road vehicles/equipment. The pollutants addressed in this report include both criteria pollutants and hazardous air pollutants.
