2017 Washington State Comprehensive Emissions Inventory Page 1
1 Introduction 1.1 Purpose and Background
This document describes the methods and data sources employed to estimate emissions for the 2017 Washington State Comprehensive Emissions Inventory. The emissions inventory (EI) is based on indicators of activity (e.g. population, registered vehicles, land use area) and scientifically developed emission rates that are specific to a source category. The EI is not based on ambient air quality monitor observations used by EPA to enforce the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), nor does it account for air pollution that originated outside the state boundaries (e.g. wildfire smoke from other states/countries).
The comprehensive EI includes emissions from point sources (e.g. large facilities that report their emissions annually), area sources (e.g. residential, agricultural, and commercial activities), mobile sources (e.g. cars, trucks, trains, boats), biogenic sources (e.g. vegetation and soil microbes), and event-driven sources (e.g. wildfires and prescribed burning) of air pollution. The Department of Ecology uses the EI as part of the overall air quality management program. This includes supporting air quality modeling, State Implementation Plan (SIP) attainment/maintenance planning, other air quality planning and rule efforts, public information, point source fee generation, and to meet federal air quality reporting requirements. The Department of Ecology compiles a comprehensive EI for every third year, following the same schedule as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Emissions Inventory (NEI) process. The next comprehensive EI will be for base year 2020.
Discretion should be used when comparing results between different EI years. What appear to be emissions changes may instead reflect: (1) changes in emissions estimation models, methodologies, and /or emission rates, (2) sources and/or pollutants included in the inventory, and (3) correction of errors in prior inventories.
1.2 Pollutants and Emissions Sources
The EI includes estimates of relevant criteria air pollutants (CAPs) for all sources inventoried. The Clean Air Act (CAA) defines CAPs as carbon monoxide (CO), lead (Pb), Ozone (O3), nitrogen oxides (NOX), particulate matter (PM), and sulfur dioxide (SO2). Lead emissions are calculated by EPA for aircraft that use leaded fuel, but lead is not included in this EI. Ozone is a secondary pollutant formed in the atmosphere and is not directly emitted. NOx and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are ozone precursors and are included in this EI. PM is estimated for two size bins (PM10 and PM2.5), as specified in the NAAQS. Ammonia (NH3) is technically not a CAP but it is included in this EI because it is an important PM precursor and a Toxic Air Pollutant (TAP). Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) are also estimated, but only for sources where information was readily available. Categories that include VOC emissions may also include HAPs.
See Table 1-1 for information about the main pollutants included for each emissions category.

1.3 Spatial and Temporal Resolution
Emissions were estimated for each county. Total annual emissions were estimated. If seasonal or other shorter timeframe estimates are required for a project, temporal profiles or other information may be used to adjust the inventories to the needed temporal scale. Table 1-1.

2 Statistics Used Throughout the Inventory 2.1 County Demographics
Emissions estimation methods for many source categories rely on surrogate parameters as indicators of activity. Population and occupied housing units (OHU) are two of the most common. Estimates for 2017 shown in the table below were obtained from the State Office of Financial Management (OFM).1
In past inventories, the demographics were split into incorporated and unincorporated areas. In the 2017 inventory, the demographics are split into rural and urban. The rural-urban split is used in estimating emissions from some sources.

2.2 Meteorological Parameters Similar to demographics, meteorological parameters are used to estimate emissions for several source categories. Temperature, heating degree days, and rainfall are described here. Daily minimum and maximum temperatures and precipitation for 2017 were obtained from several airports with meteorological stations.2 Monthly averages were calculated from the daily data. Counties were associated with meteorological stations based upon the predominant areas of traffic and population. County assignments to each meteorological station are shown below. Table 2-3.

3 Base Year 2017 Emissions Estimates To estimate emissions, four sub-tasks were completed for each source category. The four tasks were: 1) estimate the activity level for 2017, 2) if necessary, adjust/allocate the activity level (or emissions) spatially to the county level, 3) determine emission rates per the activity, and 4) estimate emissions in tons per year (TPY). The tasks are described below for each source category. Emissions estimates are listed in Section 4.
3.1 Point Sources Industrial, commercial, or institutional stationary sources which emit criteria and/or hazardous air pollutants are called point sources. Major point sources are those with the potential to emit 100 tons per year or more of any one criteria pollutant or a combination of criteria pollutants, and/or point sources with the potential to emit 10 tons per year or more of any single Hazardous Air Pollutant, or 25 tons per year or more of a combination of Hazardous Air Pollutants (Section 112, CAA). Facilities with a major source potential-to-emit are included in Title V Air Operating Permit (AOP) programs unless a facility voluntarily adopts federally enforceable permit limits that reduce their potential-to-emit below the criteria and HAPs thresholds. Facilities that adopt these limits are called Synthetic Minor sources. Local air agencies, Ecology regional offices, and Ecology’s Industrial Section and Nuclear Waste Program (regulating authorities) regulate facilities in their jurisdictions according to state and local regulations and air operating permit programs. Emissions inventories are collected by Ecology annually from the facilities either directly or via the local air agency and EPA. All Title V sources (major) are included in the point source inventory. Synthetic Minor sources are included at the discretion of the regulating authority. EPA augments the point source data using a variety of sources including speciation profiles, the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI), airport reports, railyard estimates, landfill models, and other sources. Some of the augmented data was not accepted into Ecology's final inventory due to the possibility of double-counting emissions from sources. For instance, rail yards and airports were separated out of the EPA point source inventory. The final point source inventory is a combination of state, local, and federal estimates that represents a mutually exclusive list of point sources not represented in the other categories. The emissions for each individual point source in this category are available on the Air Emissions Inventory webpage.
3.1.1 Activity Level Individual facility throughputs and production rates determine the activity level for each facility.
3.1.2 Spatial Allocation Point sources are allocated to counties based on their address or geographic coordinates.
3.1.3 Emission Rates and Estimates Emissions estimates for each facility are calculated using a variety of emissions estimation methods: continuous emissions monitors, stack test data, mass balance, best professional judgment, manufacturer’s specifications, speciation profiles, EPA emission factors (e.g., AP-42), and/or other state, manufacturer, or research group emission factors. Methods are selected considering permit conditions, data availability, and resource constraints.

3.2 Onroad Mobile Sources Onroad mobile source emissions are those generated by operating vehicles on public roadways. Emissions from fuel combustion and evaporation, and brake and tire wear were estimated. Emissions generated while refueling due to spillage and vapor displacement can be found in section 3.15.2.2. EPA's Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) model version 2014b with database version 20181022 was used to calculate emissions. MOVES combines basic vehicle activity information with information about vehicle and fuel characteristics, emissions control programs, meteorological information, and other parameters to estimate emissions. The basic activity data are vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and vehicle population. VMT, vehicle population, and a brief description of the MOVES input parameters are described below. The MOVES Technical Guidance for SIP inventories and the MOVES User’s Guide were used in developing many of the inputs to MOVES.3, 4 Detailed information about the MOVES input parameters are in a separate document. Emissions were generated for the four seasons by choosing one month from the representative season to run – January for winter, April for spring, July for summer, and October for fall. There is a discrepancy for long haul and short haul truck emissions between the 2017 Comprehensive EI and the 2017 NEI. This discrepancy is due to the updated truck age distribution that EPA used in their MOVES modeling, derived from the CRC A-115 project.5 The 2017 Comprehensive EI values may be updated when EPA releases a new version of MOVES that includes the updated truck age distributions.
3.2.1 Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) VMT are used in MOVES to calculate emissions while the vehicle is in motion or during short periods of idling. The source of county VMT data for 2017 used in this inventory was the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) under the national Department of Transportation’s Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS).6 HPMS is a system of traffic counts collected over several urban and rural sampling areas. WSDOT makes estimates of county VMT by roadway (functional) classification using the HPMS data (see Table 3-1 for rural roads and Table 3-2 for urban roads).
3.2.2 Vehicle Population Vehicle population is used to calculate emissions while a vehicle is stationary. The emissions come from engine starts, extended idling, and some fuel evaporation processes. Vehicles are classified by age and type. There are thirteen vehicle types in MOVES within six broader categories: cars, motorcycles, light-duty trucks, heavy-duty single unit trucks, heavy-duty combination unit trucks, and buses. Three sources were used to calculate vehicle population (see Table 3-3). The first was the Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL). DOL registers non-governmental vehicles annually.7 Government vehicles have a one-time registration. Because DOL does not register public transit and school buses each year, alternate sources of information were obtained. Transit andIntercity bus data came from the MOVES default database. School bus information for 2017 was obtained from the Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI).8

3.2.3 MOVES Input Parameters MOVES includes a default database that summarizes emissions relevant information for all counties in the United States. Default data may be replaced by local data to improve the estimates. Ecology developed local data for many of the parameters in MOVES. Input parameters were developed that were characteristic of local conditions for each county and month. Some of the parameters presented here required local data. For others, EPA guidance recommended that local data be used. The parameters are shown in the table below. Note that the vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) program was only operated in Clark, King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Spokane Counties. Table 3-12. MOVES Model Parameters

3.3 Paved Road Dust Dust emissions are generated as vehicles pass along paved roadways and disturb the layer of loose material on or near the road surface. This material contains particulate matter from soil, brake and tire wear, exhaust, and other substances. However, the paved road dust calculation excludes emissions from exhaust and brake and tire wear, which are estimated as part of the onroad mobile sources emissions (see Section 0).
3.3.1 Activity Level and Spatial Allocation The measure of activity is VMT (see Table 3-1). VMT was available by county, so no spatial allocation was necessary. The monthly adjustment factors for VMT used in calculating emissions are shown in Table 3-5. The HPMS Average Daily VMT (ADVMT) estimate includes travel over both paved and unpaved roads; however, they are not distinguished from one another. A slight overestimation of ADVMT does occur when using HPMS ADVMT as the paved road activity level. The overestimation is not significant, though, since unpaved ADVMT is only estimated to be 0.5% of the entire ADVMT (see Section 0). Table 3-13. WSDOT VMT Monthly Adjustment Factors

3.3.2 Emission Rates The PM10 and PM2.5 emission rates in grams per mile were calculated using equation 2 in EPA's AP42.20, 21 Equation 2 estimates an emission rate for annual average conditions by incorporating a precipitation correction factor. This equation was used to calculate monthly emission rates, as shown below.
E = [k (sL)0.91 (W)1.02 ] x [1-(P/4N)]
where E is the emission factor in g/VMT k = g/VMT particle size multiplier (1 for PM10, 0.25 for PM2.5) sL = silt loading in g/m2 W = mean vehicle weight (tons) P = number of days with at least 0.01 inches of precipitation in the given month N = number of days in the given month
AP42 provides recommended values of average and worst-case silt loading on roads for several average daily traffic (ADT) classes. For this inventory, the average silt loading values were used (see Table 3-6). ADT was calculated by dividing the ADVMT values in Table 3-1 by the number of centerlane miles for each county and HPMS road classification (see Table 3-8).
2017 Washington State Comprehensive Emissions Inventory Page 15

Mean vehicle weight for the HPMS road classes was calculated using information from the 2014 onroad inventory (see Table 3-7). MOVES-default in-use vehicle weights for each MOVES vehicle type were weighted by WSDOT's VMT estimates to calculate average vehicle weight on each HPMS road class. The distribution of VMT by vehicle type over each road class was calculated using WSDOT's travel fractions for major vehicle types22 and MOVES output of VMT by more specific vehicle classes. Days per month of precipitation greater than 0.01 inches in 2017 were obtained (see Section 2.2, Table 2-5). County assignments were made as shown in Table 2-2. Dry day PM10 emission rates calculated with the AP42 Equation 2 ranged from 0.066 to 2.473 g/mi while PM2.5 emission rates ranged from 0.016 to 0.618 g/mi. Table 3-15.

3.3.3 Emissions Estimates Monthly emissions were calculated using the equations below.
Monthly Emissions = V x M x D x E x (lb/454 g) x (1 T/2000 lb) where V = ADVMT
M = monthly VMT adjustment factor (Table 3-5) D = number of days in month, and E = emission factor in g/VMT, calculated as described in Section 3.3.2 (see Table 3-9)

3.4 Unpaved Road Dust Similar to paved roads, dust emissions are generated as vehicles pass along unpaved roadways and disturb the layer of loose material on or near the road surface. This material contains particulate matter from soil, brake and tire wear, exhaust, and other substances. The unpaved road dust calculation excludes emissions from exhaust and brake and tire wear, which are estimated as part of the onroad mobile sources emissions (see Section 0).
3.4.1 Activity Level Similar to onroad mobile sources and paved road dust, ADVMT is used to estimate unpaved road activity and calculate dust emissions. Travel over unpaved roads is included in HPMS ADVMT estimates, but are not separated from the paved road travel. Two agencies provided information on unpaved roads. The County Road Administration Board (CRAB) provided roadway mileage and ADVMT estimates on unpaved road by county.23 WSDOT provided estimates of city jurisdiction unpaved roadway mileage for each county.24 The CRAB data was used to develop an average daily traffic (ADT) per centerlane-mile factor (52 ADT/mi). This factor was multiplied by the WSDOT city centerlane-mileage data in order to estimate ADVMT. Unpaved roads on federal, state, and tribal lands are missing from this inventory. ADVMT on unpaved roads was included in the HPMS data, so it is essentially being double counted within paved road estimates. The overestimation is not significant, though, since unpaved ADVMT is only estimated to be 0.5% of the entire ADVMT.
3.4.2 Spatial Allocation Spatial adjustments were not necessary since the ADVMT was available by county. Monthly temporal adjustments for the VMT were made using the WSDOT temporal adjustment factors for urban roads shown in Table 3-5.

3.4.3 Emission Rates Unpaved road dust emissions were estimated according to Equation 2 in AP42.25 The equation includes an adjustment for rainfall which acts as a control efficiency term by assuming that
2017 Washington State Comprehensive Emissions Inventory Page 20
emissions occur only on days where the rainfall is below 0.01 inches. The equation was modified to calculate monthly emission rates. The original and modified AP42 equations are shown below.
E = [k (s/12)a (S/30)d / (Mdry/0.5)c – C] x [(365-p)/365] (original AP42 Equation 2) E = {[k (s/12)a (S/30)d / (Mdry/0.5)c] – C} x [(n-p)/n] (modified AP42 Equation 2)
where E is the emission factor in lb/VMT k = particle size multiplier (1.8 for PM10, 0.18 for PM2.5) s = silt content (%) a = PM10 constant (1) c = PM10 constant (0.2) d = PM10 constant (0.5) S = speed in mph C = material from exhaust, brake and tire wear in lb/mi (AP42 default: 0.00047 for PM10, 0.00036 for PM2.5) n = number of days in the given month p = number of days with at least 0.01 inches of precipitation in the given month Mdry = surface material moisture content (%)
Monthly days of precipitation greater than 0.01 inches were taken from Table 2-5. Vehicle speed was not available. The VMT-weighted average speed on local roads for Spokane in 2002 was used as an estimate (30 mph).26
The surface material silt content (3.2%) and moisture content (1%) were obtained from the Western Regional Air Partnership (WRAP).27, 28 Silt values used by EPA in the 1999 NEI were derived from sampling data taken from a database of approximately 200 samples from 30 states.29 Washington was not sampled. EPA used the national average of 3.9% for all states not sampled when they prepared the 1999 NEI. Rather than using the national average for states that were not sampled, the WRAP calculated an average of 3.2% for western states using the silt content database.27 The WRAP value was used in this inventory.
Calculated monthly emission rates are shown in Table 3-11 and Table 3-12. County assignments were the same as described in Section 2.2.
3.4.4 Emissions Estimates Monthly emissions were calculated using the equation below. Annual emissions were calculated by summing the monthly emissions.
Monthly Emissions (Tons) = V x M x D x E x (1 T/2000 lb)
where V = ADVMT M = monthly VMT adjustment factor (Table 3-5) D = number of days in month, and E = emission factor in lb/VMT, calculated as described in Section 3.4.3

3.5 Construction Dust Construction dust was estimated by the EPA Nonpoint Methods Advisory Committee (NOMAD) for road construction, residential construction, and nonresidential construction. Construction dust emissions are based on the total amount of soil disturbed. Additionally, each of the three categories had emissions corrected using silt content and soil moisture parameters. Silt content factors were derived for each county, but EPA used the same soil moisture parameter for the entire state. Ecology calculated soil moisture parameters at the county level using meteorological data from 22 airport weather stations across the state. Construction dust emissions estimates were then recalculated by Ecology, using the county-specific soil moisture.
3.5.1 Activity Level
Road construction activity was estimated by EPA using the the Federal Highway Administration’s Highway Statistics for New Construction, Relocation, Added Capacity, Major Widening, and Minor Widening. These categories were also differentiated according to the road type. The State expenditure data were then converted to new miles of road constructed using $/mile conversions obtained from the Florida Department of Transportation (FLDOT) in 2014. A conversion of $6.9 million/mile is applied to the urban interstate expenditures and a conversion of $3.8 million/mile is applied to the rural interstate expenditures. For expenditures on other urban arterial and collectors, a conversion factor of $4.1 million/mile is applied. For expenditures on other rural arterial and collectors, a conversion factor of $2.1 million/mile is applied. The new miles of road constructed are used to estimate the acreage disturbed due to road construction. The total area disturbed in each state is calculated by converting the new miles of road constructed to acres using an acres disturbed/mile conversion factor for each road type which ranges from 6.6 to 11.4 acres disturbed per mile of constructed road.
Residential construction activity was estimated by EPA using acres of surface soil disturbed and volume of soil removed for basements. Surface soil disturbed was estimated using the 2017 New Privately Owned Housing Units Started by Purpose and Design 30 dataset from the US Census Bureau. The amount of soil removed were assumed to be ¼ acre, 1/3 acre, and ½ acre for 1-unit, 2-unit, and apartment structures, respectively. To calculate basement soil removal, the 2017 table of Characteristics of New Single-Family Houses Completed, Foundation 31 was used by EPA to estimate the percentage of 1 unit structures that have a basement (on the regional level). The county level estimate of number of 1-unit starts was multiplied by the percent of 1 unit houses in the region that have a basement to get the number of basements in a county. Basement volume was calculated by assuming a 2000 square foot house has a basement dug to a depth of 8 feet (making 16,000 ft3 per basement). An additional 10% is added for peripheral dirt bringing the total to 17,600 ft3 (651.85 yd3) per basement.
Non-residential construction activity was estimated by EPA using acres disturbed and were estimated by multiplying the value of non-residential construction put in place (obtained from the US Census Bureau) by the number of acres disturbed per million dollars. EPA used a factor of 1.009 acres/$1 million to convert from dollars to acres disturbed.
3.5.2 Spatial Allocation
Building permits were used by EPA to allocate the state-level acres disturbed by road construction to the county level. A ratio of the number of building starts in each county to the total number of building starts in each state was applied to the state-level acres disturbed to estimate the total number of acres disturbed by road construction in each county.
2017 Washington State Comprehensive Emissions Inventory Page 23
Residential construction activity data was already at the county level, so no spatial adjustment was needed.
The national value of non-residential construction put in place was allocated to counties using county-level non-residential construction employment data obtained from the US Census Bureau.
3.5.3 Emission Rates
Initial PM10 emissions from construction of roads were calculated by EPA using an emission factor of 0.42 tons/acre-month. This emission factor represents the large amount of dirt moved during the construction of roadways, reflecting the high level of cut and fill activity that occurs at road construction sites. The duration of construction activity for road construction is assumed to be 12 months.
Initial PM10 emissions from construction of residential structures were calculated using emission factors that ranged from 0.032 tons PM10/acre-month (1-unit structures without basements) to 0.11 tons PM10/acre-month (apartments). The duration of construction activity for houses was assumed to be 6 months and the duration of construction for apartments was assumed to be 12 months.
Initial PM10 emissions from construction of non-residential buildings were calculated by EPA using an emission factor of 0.19 tons/acre-month. The duration of construction activity for non-residential construction is assumed to be 11 months.
Regional variances in construction emissions were corrected using soil moisture level and silt content. To account for the silt content, the PM10 emissions are weighted using average silt content for each county. EPA used the National Cooperative Soil Survey Microsoft Access Soil Characterization Database to develop county-level, average silt content values for surface soil. To account for the soil moisture level, the PM10 emissions were initially weighted using a 30-year average precipitation-effectiveness (PE) value from Thornthwaite’s PE Index, derived from precipitation and evaporation estimates. EPA used a PE-Index of 127.9 for the entire state of Washington, which is suitable for western Washington, but overestimates soil moisture for eastern Washington. County-specific PE Index values were calculated by Ecology and used to make the final correction for construction dust emissions. The table below shows the PE Index values used by Ecology.
3.5.4 Emissions Estimates The equation for PM10 emissions corrected for soil moisture and silt content is:
where: Corrected EPM10 = PM10 emissions corrected for soil moisture and silt content, PE = precipitation-evaporation value for each State, S = % dry silt content in soil for area being inventoried.
Once PM10 adjustments were made, PM2.5 emissions were set to 10% of PM10.

3.6 Nonroad Mobile Vehicles and Equipment (NEC) Nonroad mobile emissions estimates account for exhaust from nonroad mobile vehicles and equipment that combust fuel. However, nonroad mobile emissions for commercial ships, seaport support equipment, locomotives, and aircraft are estimated separately and thus not included here. Each nonroad sector includes multiple equipment types and horsepower classes. The sectors included in Ecology’s nonroad mobile category and corresponding examples are listed in the table below. Note that recreational marine vessels are discussed here but their emissions are listed separately in the BOAT category. Table 3-22. Sectors Included in Ecology’s Nonroad Mobile Category
Sector Examples Agricultural Equipment Tractors, Combines, Tillers, etc.
Airport Support Equipment Ground Support, Servicing Aircraft Recreational Marine Vessels Pleasure Craft, Personal Boats
Construction and Mining Equipment Crushers, Pavers, Backhoes, etc. Commercial Equipment Pumps, Compressors, Welders, etc.
Industrial Equipment Forklifts, Scrubbers, Tractors, etc. Lawn and Garden Equipment Chainsaws, Blowers, Lawn Mowers, etc.
Logging Equipment Chainsaws, Shredders, etc. Recreational Equipment Snowmobiles, ATVs, Golf Carts, etc.
Railroad Maintenance Equipment Railway Maintenance Equipment EPA's Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) model version 2014b with database movesdb20180517 was used to estimate nonroad emissions. MOVES combines basic nonroad activity information with information about equipment, vehicle and fuel characteristics, emissions control programs, meteorological information, and other parameters to estimate emissions. MOVES2014b was released in 2018 and included a major update to nonroad information. Updates included improvements to nonroad engine population growth rates, nonroad Tier 4 engine emission rates, and sulfur levels of nonroad diesel fuels.
3.6.1 MOVES Input Parameters MOVES includes a default database that summarizes emissions relevant information for all counties in the United States. Default data may be replaced by local data to improve the estimates. Default data was used for all parameters except the recreational marine vessel spatial surrogate. The default surrogate for recreational marine vessels is water surface area. Water surface area can overestimate recreational boat usage in counties with large areas of open water (e.g., Clallam). A new sptial allocation based on county boat registrations was substituted for the default. Boat registrations for 2017 were provided by the Washington Department of Licensing32, shown in Table 3-15.
3.6.2 Emission Rates Emissions were generated by the model for the four seasons by choosing one month from the representative season to run – January for winter, April for spring, July for summer, and October for fall.

3.7 Locomotives
Emissions from Class I line-haul and switch yard locomotives were estimated using EPA guidance and information from the railroads. U.S. Class I railroads are line-haul freight railroads with operating revenue in excess of $250 million or more after applying the revenue deflator formula which adjusts for inflation using the Railroad Freight Price Index relative to 1991 ($463.9 million in 2017).33,34,35,36,37 The Class I railroads that operate in Washington are Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) and Union Pacific Railroad (UP). Amtrak passenger train emissions were also included in this inventory. Note that EPA estimated Class 2 and 3 locomotive emissions as part of the 2017 NEI, which was accepted by Ecology. A special Northwest International Air Quality Environmental Science and Technology Consortium (NW-AIRQUEST; formerly Northwest Regional Technical Center) project conducted by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) found that emissions from Class II and III railroad locomotives were a small percentage of total locomotive emissions.38, 39
Amtrak, BNSF, and UP all provided 2017 activity information.
3.7.1 Activity Level Activity level is measured in gallons of diesel consumed by locomotives. All of the railroads provided 2017 fuel use for line haul and switch yard locomotives by county, shown in the table on the next page.40
3.7.2 Emission Rates All railroad companies provided activity data by county for 2017. All locomotive fuel used in 2017 was Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) which contained 15 ppm sulfur content. Emission factors (shown in table below) were taken from EPA documentation,41 which also defines VOC emission rates as 1.053 x Hydrocarbons and PM2.5 emission rates as 0.97 x PM10. Table 3-24.

3.8 Ships
Two separate annual emissions inventories were used to estimate emissions from ships: one for emissions occurring on the Columbia and Snake River systems, and one for Puget Sound, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Columbia and Snake Rivers
EPA's 2017 NEI estimates were used for the Columbia and Snake Rivers. See Section 3.22.
Puget Sound, Strait of Juan de Fuca
Starcrest Consulting Group, LLC prepared a 2016 inventory for Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca under contract to the Puget Sound Maritime Air Forum.42 The inventory was a bottom-up, activity-based emissions inventory which provides detailed information on the five major source categories associated with the marine activities: ocean-going vessels, harbor vessels, cargo handling equipment, onroad heavy-duty vehicles, and rail operations. This was the third inventory prepared by Starcrest for the Pugest Sound area. The others represented the years 2005 and 2011.
The 2016 Starcrest emissions inventory was used for ocean-going vessels, harbor vessels (minus pleasure craft), and cargo handling equipment (see Section 0) in the 2017 comprehensive inventory.
The area covered by the maritime inventory is part of the Emission Control Area (ECA). In 2015, fuel used in the ECA was reduced to 0.1% fuel-sulfur level (or equivalent). Emissions of sulfur dioxide and particulate emissions decreased significantly from prior years due to the lower fuel sulfur content.
3.8.1 Activity Level and Emission Rates and Emissions Estimates
Activity level and emission rates of ships are described in the Starcrest report. The Starcrest report addressed PM10, PM2.5, NOX, SO2, CO, and VOC. It also addressed diesel particulate matter, black carbon, and greenhouse gases. The Starcrest report did not provide toxics estimates.
Emissions in tons per year were taken directly from the source data; however, EPA reporting limitations did not allow accurate spatial allocation of some of the emissions. All harbor craft emissions were allocated to major ports. Ecology reallocated the emissions more accurately. Ferry emissions were assigned to ferry routes using individual ferry emissions from Starcrest's Scenario Tool and 2016 ferry route assignments from Washington State Ferries. Fishing and excursion boats were assigned based on water surface area. Harbor tugs and assist/escort boats were left within their original port area assignments. Ocean tugs and all other harbor craft were assigned based on ocean-going vessel ship lane emissions.
SCC codes used to categorize emissions were updated by EPA after the work on the inventory was well underway. Ecology re-categorized the emissions to the new codes, but there wasn't enough information to be completely accurate. However, C3 ship emissions were taken directly from the 2017 NEI which allocated C3 emissions to counties based on transponder data.

3.9 Marine Cargo Handling Equipment The Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca 2016 maritime inventory prepared by Starcrest and described in Section 3.8 included port and near-port emissions from cargo handling equipment. The ports included in the marine cargo handling equipment inventory were Anacortes, Everett, Olympia, Northwest Seaport Alliance North and South Harbors, Port Angeles, Seattle, and Tacoma. The Argo, Fife, and BNSF SIG rail yards were also included. Similar to ships, the 2016 inventory was used as an estimate of 2017 emissions.
3.9.1 Activity Level and Emission Rates Activity level and emission rates are described in the Starcrest inventory documentation.42
3.9.2 Spatial Allocation Port and rail yard emissions were assigned to their respective counties.
3.9.3 Emissions Estimates Emissions in tons per year were taken directly from the source data. There is potential for double-counting in this category since it overlaps with equipment in the NONROAD model. However, in the NONROAD model the county allocations are based on surrogates which are not counted as port activity (Section 3.5). Therefore, emissions from the seaports were not subtracted from the NONROAD model output totals.

3.10 Silvicultural Burning (Prescribed Burning) Silvicultural burning, also discussed as prescribed burning, includes rangeland burns, logging debris burns and forest health burns. It does not include land clearing nor agricultural burns. Silvicultural burning is done by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW), U.S. Forest Service (USFS), Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Bureau Of Land Management (BLM), US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and private industry.
3.10.1 Activity Level and Emission Rates
Prescribed burns are conducted either as pile burns, understory burns, or broadcast burns. Activity for pile burns is reported as tons of material burned while understory and broadcast burns are reported as “acres burned” and have a corresponding fuel loading (tons/acre) from which tons of material burned is calculated. Emissions for silvicultural burns were calculated using historical emission factors that were applied to the tonnage burned.
The amount and type of material burned was obtained from the DNR completed burns database and Ecology’s Air Quality Program Permitting System (AQPPS). All burn permits obtained from DNR were considered as prescribed burns. Most burn permits from AQPPS are for agricultural burns (see Section 3.10) but reported burns of rangeland and forest vegetation were included here. Burn permits were not available for prescribed burns done by the BIA. Furthermore, the DNR completed burns database was incomplete and contained errors, for which some gap-filling was done based on DNR planned burn database and satellite hot-spot detects. Prescribed burn location data was also obtained from EPA, based on satellite detected hot-spots (from SMARTFIRE2) which included rough estimates of fire size. The prescribed burn data from EPA was checked for errors (e.g. incorrect fire type) and then spatiotemporally cross-checked against the DNR and Ecology data to avoid double-counting. All burns added from the EPA dataset were considered pile burns unless fuels were grass/shrub or there were nearby DNR permits that specified a broadcast burn; hot-spots categorized as piles were assumed to be 100 tons (the maximum burn size allowed without a DNR permit) while hot-spots categorized as broadcast burns were assumed to be 46 acres (from SMARTFIRE2).

Pollutant EF PM10 15.5 PM2.5 13.5 CO 76 NOX 4 VOC 19 SO2 0.1
3.10.2 Spatial Adjustments No spatial adjustments were necessary. All burns were identified either by their coordinates or by county and Public Land Survey System (PLSS) legal description (i.e. section-township-range).
3.10.3 Emissions Estimates Prescribed burn emissions were calculated assuming 100% combustion completeness: TPY = (tons burned) x (pollutant lb/T) x (1 T/2000 lb)

3.11 Wildfires Wildfire emissions were initially estimated for the 2017 EPA NEI by an EPA contractor. The Satellite Mapping Automatic Reanalysis Tool for Fire Incident Reconciliation (SMARTFIRE) v2 was used to estimate fire location and size, the Wildland Fire Assessment System (WFAS) National Fuel Moisture Database (NFDM) to estimate fuel moisture, and the BlueSky modeling framework to estimate the resultant emissions. The EPA effort used SMARTFIRE v2 to combine fire locations reported by the following sources: Incident Command Summary (ICS-209) reports, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Hazard Mapping System (HMS), fire perimeters from the Geospatial Multi-Agency Coordination (GeoMAC) group, the National Association of State Foresters (NASF) fire database, the US Forest Service ACtivity Tracking System (FACTS), and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) prescribed burn database. All fire locations detected by HMS that were within the boundaries of the USDA Cropland Data Layer (CDL) were classified as agricultural burns, except for pasture land. All remaining fire locations detected by HMS were classified as wildfire if they occurred between June 1 and August 31 and there was no other information available.
3.11.1 Activity Level Ecology reviewed the EPA’s wildfire emissions estimates and found many errors with fire type and size. These errors occurred presumably due to complications with SMARTFIRE, which was not developed to handle many sources of input. The EPA wildfire emissions data was corrected after crosschecking against InciWeb reports, the WildCAD online system, DNR post-burn reports, and GeoMAC perimeters. Overall, the fixes to wildfire data resulted in ~100 fewer fire locations and ~100,000 more acres burned than the original EPA data. Most of the decrease in wildfire locations was due to incorrect fire type while most of the increase in wildfire acres was due to missing data for the Jolly Mountain, 400, and Diamond Creek fires. The county level estimate of wildfire area burned is shown in Table 3-20. Washington State’s largest wildfires in 2017 are shown in Table 3-21.
3.11.2 Spatial Adjustments No spatial adjustments were necessary. All fire locations were identified by their coordinates.
3.11.3 Emissions Estimates The BlueSky modeling framework incorporates a variety of modeling components to determine emissions. This effort simulated emissions in BlueSky using the following model pathway: the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) to determine fuel loading, the Consume model to estimate the percentage of fuels consumed, and the Fire Emission Production Simulator (FEPS) to estimate total emissions by pollutant type.

3.12 Agricultural Burning Agricultural burning in Washington is defined as "the burning of vegetative debris from an agricultural operation necessary for disease or pest control, necessary for crop propagation and/or crop rotation, or where identified as a best management practice by the agricultural burning practices and research task force established in RCW [Revised Code of Washington] 70.94.650 or other authoritative source on agricultural practices." 43 All agricultural burning in Washington requires a permit by law, but compliance is not 100%. In addition to the agricultural burn permits obtained, satellite-detected hot-spot data for agricultural land was obtained from EPA. The burn data for agricultural land from EPA was checked for errors (e.g. incorrect fire type, size, or crop) and then spatiotemporally cross-checked against the permit data for redundancy. Both datasets were then aggregated together. It is noted here that in Chelan, Douglas, Kittitas, Klickitat, and Okanogan Counties some orchards are removed but not replanted and thus do not qualify for agricultural burning permits. Emissions from these tear-outs are not consistently included in the inventory due to lack of permits and dependence on satellite detection.
3.12.1 Activity Level The activity level for agricultural burning is the amount of residue consumed. The general equation and sources of each parameter are described below.
tons consumed = acres burned x fuel loading x combustion completeness factor or
tons consumed = tons burned x combustion completeness factor
Acres or Tons Burned
Department of Ecology Central and Eastern Regional Offices (CRO, ERO)
The Department of Ecology maintains the Air Quality Program Permit System (AQPPS) database. The permits include crop type, general location (legal description), and permit issue date. Pile burn permits include the amount of material burned in tons while field burn permits include acreage and fuel loading estimates.44 Permits issued in 2017 were selected for this inventory.
Local Air Authority Permits
The agricultural burn permit database does not contain information for counties outside of Ecology air jurisdiction. Permit information was obtained for Benton, Island, Skagit, Whatcom, and Yakima counties. No permit information was obtained for counties under SWCAA, SRCAA, ORCAA, or PSCAA jurisdiction; but some information was obtained via satellite.
Satellite-Detected Hot-Spots Provided by EPA
EPA provided agricultural burn emissions based on satellite hot-spot detects that occurred at locations within the National Agricultural Statistics Service Cropland Data Layer (NASS CDL). For the state of Washington, each hot-spot was assumed to be a 120 acre burn. Due to known issues with this method, EPA made an update so that grassland locations in the CDL were not assumed to be agricultural burns. Several other burns were removed by Ecology due to double-counting with AQPPS data or incorrect fire type (e.g. wildfires on agricultural land). In addition, some burns were transferred from the EPA wild/prescribed fire data to the agricultural burning database due to
2017 Washington State Comprehensive Emissions Inventory Page 37
incomplete coverage in the NASS CDL. The 2017 Washingon State Department of Agriculture Land Use GIS data was used to determine crop type for reclassified EPA data.
Fuel Loading
The overall average loading factor for wheat field burns was 4.2 tons/acre. This is comparable to the 4 tons/acre average found in a special study performed by Air Sciences Incorporated.45 Air Sciences Incorporated performed a field study funded by Ecology, the Washington Association of Wheat Growers, and the US EPA-Region 10 to measure emissions and develop emission rates for wheat stubble field burning. The loading factor was 0.7 tons/acre higher than the wheat field loading factor of 3.2 tons/acre in AP42 (adjusted for fuel consumption).
The agricultural burn permit database included a loading factor for each field burn. For burns detected by satellite, the EPA’s default fuel loading was used. Overall average fuel loading and combustion completeness for field burns is shown in the table below for the following crop groups: barley; beans; corn; fallow land; hay, grass, pasture and Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land; lentils; potatoes, wheat (including triticale), and all other field crops.
Table 3-30. Average Fuel Loading for Agricultural Field Burns
Crop Group Fuel Loading (Tons/Acre)
Combustion Completeness
Barley 2.4 85%
Beans, Dry 1.7 85%
Corn 3.4 75%
Fallow 2.2 75%
Hay, Grass, Pasture, CRP 1.9 85%
Lentils 2.9 75%
Other 1.9 85%
Potatoes 1.9 85%
Wheat 4.2 85% All field and pile burns were summed together to generate the total tons of agricultural residue burned in 2017, shown in the table below. Note that Yakima permit data did not include crop type, so they were grouped in the “Other” category.
3.12.2 Emission Rates Emission rates were taken from EPA's AP42 (VOC, CO, NOX), a San Joaquin Valley study (NOX)46, the Air Sciences Incorporated report (PM10, PM2.5, CH4)45, and the 2014 NEI Agricultural Burning Emission Factors spreadsheet (NH3)47. Emission rates for NH3 are based on the NOx/NH3 emissions ratio in the 2002 NEI and the NOx emissions rate from McCarty et al. (2011)48.
3.12.3 Emissions Estimates Emissions estimates were calculated with the equation below. TPY = (tons consumed) x (pollutant lb/T) x (1 T/2000 lb)

3.13 Municipal Solid Waste Burning Municipal Solid Waste Burning is outdoor burning of household waste. The EPA methodology was used to calculate this category.
3.13.1 Activity Level The measure of activity for residential trash burning is the amount of material burned. The EPA method assumes that 0.42 tons of waste are generated per person per year and that 0.354 tons of that waste is combustible or “burnable”. This assumes that a person burning RHW in their yard is more likely to be a non-recycler than an avid recycler. Open burning of trash is generally not practiced in urban areas, so only the rural population in each county is assumed to practice open burning. The EPA default used assumes that 24% of the rural population burns trash. Trash burning is illegal in Washington State but compliance is not %100. The EPA default assumes that 25% of households will burn trash even when it is banned. The amount of residential trash burned was estimated using the following equation: Rural Population x 0.354 (tons/person/year) x 28% x 25%.
3.13.2 Emission Rates Emissions factors for open burning of municipal solid waste are listed in the table below. The emissions factors for CO, NOX, PM, SO2, and VOC and some HAPs are from AP-4249 and the EPA report Evaluation of Emissions from the Open Burning of Household Waste in Barrels50. Emissions factors for HAPs are from an EPA Office of Research and Development report51 and a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Report52. HAP emissions factors are based on an average of emissions factors for non-recyclers. Emission factors were applied to the combustible waste burned.
3.13.3 Emissions Estimates Emissions estimates were calculated with the equations below. TPY = (tons burned) x (pollutant lb/T) x (1 T/2000 lb) Table 3-33. Emission Rates in Pounds Per Ton of Combustible Material Burned

3.14 Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) Emissions from publicly owned wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are included in the POTW category. POTWs are distinct and separate from industrial wastewater treatment.
3.14.1 Activity Level Activity for POTWs is measured in gallons of wastewater treated, which was obtained from the Permit and Reporting Information System (PARIS)53 Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) 54. Reports for 2017 were selected from Municipal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Individual Permits (NPDES IP), Municipal to ground State Waste Discharge Permits (SWDP), and Reclaimed Water Individual Permits. The amount of wastewater treated at POTWs is shown in Table 3-26.
3.14.2 Emission Rates An ammonia emission factor of 0.169 pounds per million gallons was obtained from a report to EPA,55 while the VOC emission factor of 0.85 pounds per million gallons was based on a study from a California based Technical Advisory Committee (Tri-TAC).56 Emission factors for the 52 HAPs were derived using 1996 area source emissions estimates that were provided by EPA’s Environmental Sciences Division (ESD)57 and the 1996 nationwide flow rate.58 These HAP emission factors were then multiplied by the 2008 to 2002 VOC emission factor ratio (0.85/9.9) to obtain the final HAP emission factors applied in the 2017 inventory. The HAP emission factors are listed in Table 3-27.
3.14.3 Spatial Allocation WWTPs were allocated to counties based on their geographical coordinates.
3.14.4 Emissions Estimates Annual emissions for each county were calculated according to the following equation:
TPY = (million gallons treated) x (pollutant lb/million gallons) x (1 T/2000 lb)

3.15 Gasoline Service Stations
Emissions from gasoline service stations result from evaporation of gasoline vapors during underground tank filling, underground tank breathing and emptying, tank truck transit, and vehicle refueling.
Underground tank filling in Washington is controlled by use of vapor balance systems known as Stage I control. Controls for vehicle refueling include onboard canisters known as onboard refueling vapor recovery (ORVR), and at-the-pump special nozzles known as vapor recovery systems (VRS), both of which capture vapors from the vehicle gas tank during refueling. At-the-pump control is also known as known as Stage II.
3.15.1 Activity Level, Temporal and Spatial Allocation
The measure of activity is gallons of gasoline distributed in the county. EPA used the MOVES model to calculate monthly county-level gasoline consumption by summing onroad and nonroad gasoline consumption.
County-level gasoline consumption is then allocated to submerged balanced filling based on assumptions about the percentage of filling technology used in each county. True vapor pressure is calculated for each county, month, and fuel subtype. Percentages of the filling technology are derived from the EIIP study.59
Following EPA methods, gasoline throughput for tank trucks was computed by multiplying the county-level gasoline consumption estimates by a factor of 1.09 to account for gasoline that is transported more than once in a given area (i.e., transported from bulk terminal to bulk plant and then from bulk plant to service station).
3.15.2 Emission Rates
Underground Tank Filling, Breathing and Emptying, Transit Losses
Emission rates for underground tank filling, breathing and emptying, and transit losses were taken from documentation released by the EPA for gasoline distribution for the 2017 NEI.60
County-level gasoline consumption is multiplied by the emissions factor for VOC to estimate VOC emissions from UST filling, breathing/emptying, and transit losses. County-level benzene speciation profiles are multiplied by VOC emissions to estimate benzene emissions from UST breathing and emptying. National average speciation profiles for all other HAPs are multiplied by VOC emissions to estimate HAP emissions from UST breathing and emptying.
Per the local air authorities, all underground tank filling was assumed to be controlled using a vapor balance system to recover displaced gasoline vapors as the tank is filled (balanced submerged filling).
In the NEI, EPA provided emission factors for filling, breathing/emptying, and transit losses. Emission factors in lbs/1000 gallons were calculated from the NEI information. EPA also provided toxics speciation profiles. The factors are shown in the table below. VOC factors are expressed as lbs/1000 gallons. Toxics are expressed as a percentage of the VOC.

Vehicle Refueling
Vehicle refueling emissions come from vapors displaced from the automobile tank by dispensed gasoline and from spillage. Refueling emissions may be controlled by VRS and ORVR. VRS is required in Clark, Cowlitz, King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties, and for very large stations near residences in other counties.61 ORVR is a federal emissions control program for light duty gasoline vehicles. It was phased in over several years beginning in 1998.
Emission factors were calculated with the MOVES model using King County as a representative county. MOVES energy (MMBTUs) and emissions (grams) outputs were combined with conversion factors for fuel energy (MMBTUs/gallon)62 to calculate emission factors in g/gallon. Refueling factors were calculated with and without VRS. Gasoline was assumed to contain 10% ethanol (E10). Similar to the onroad category, values for January, April, July, and October were averaged for an annual estimate.

3.16 Residential Wood Combustion Residential wood combustion (RWC) consists of home heating and recreational use of wood-burning equipment. Emissions from woodstoves, fireplaces, fireplace inserts, pellet stoves, indoor furnaces, and outdoor hydronic heaters are included. Other outdoor wood burning devices, such as fire pits, are part of the residential outdoor burning category for the 2017 EI.
3.16.1 Activity Level
The measure of activity for residential wood combustion is the amount of wood burned. EPA estimated RWC emissions based on the 2018 Comission on Environmental Cooperation (CEC) nationwide survey. EPA supplemented the CEC survey with information from the 2015 Energy Information Administration (EIA) Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) and the state of Minnesota’s 2014/2015 residential wood survey.
Ecology replaced some EPA assumptions with data from other surveys conducted by WSU, the National Research Center, and Kittitas county. Specifically, Ecology replaced appliance fractions of woodstoves and fireplace inserts for predominantly urban counties (King, Pierce, Snohomish, Spokane, Clark, Yakima, Thurston, Kitsap, Benton, and Whatcom) and replaced burn rates of woodstoves and fireplace inserts for all counties. Ecology also replaced the estimate of occupied housing units with our own 2017 demographic data.
The residential wood combustion activity data replaced by Ecology was taken from the three residential wood combustion surveys previously used for our state. The first Washington survey was conducted by Washington State University in 2001 (WSU2001).63 It divided the state into regions and compiled results for each region. The WSU survey had 749 completed surveys for WA. The second Washington survey was conducted by the National Research Center in 2007 (NRC2007).64, 65 It covered seven geographic areas in the central Puget Sound region and consisted of 1,015 completed surveys. The third Washington survey was conducted by the Kittitas County Health Department in 2014 and 2015. It covered Kittitas County and consisted of 1174 responses. The surveys solicited complete information to conduct an inventory. The Washington survey areas are listed below.

The EPA and Washington surveys were used to determine the percentage of households using wood burning devices and the annual amount of wood burned per device for fireplaces, woodstoves, inserts, and pellet stoves. For woodstoves and fireplace inserts, EPA used distribution profiles based on a combination of data from RECS and Minnesota surveys such that 31% of devices in western states are uncertified, 41% are certified noncatalytic, and 28% are certified catalytic. For central heaters, EPA used distribution profiles based on the CEC survey such that 1% are indoor pellet boilers, 3% are indoor pellet furnaces, 23% are indoor cordwood boilers, 37% are indoor cordwood furnaces, and 36% are outdoor cordwood boilers. The percentage of occupied households using wood burning devices are shown in the table below. To calculate emissions using emission factors in lb/ton burned, the weight of the wood burned was estimated. Pellets are sold in 40-lb sacks, and fire logs were estimated at 8 lb per log. The weight of a cord of wood varies with moisture content and species type. EPA calculated the weight of wood burned using wood density factors (e.g. for pine) from the US Forest Service, which varied from 2034 to 2056 pounds per cord for counties in Washington state.66

Many of the HAP emissions factors are from Hays et al. (2003) 70. Emissions factors for wax firelogs are from Li and Rosenthal (2006) 71. Additional emission factors are taken from Aurell et al. (2012) 72. For certified woodstoves and fireplace inserts, EPA is using the emissions factors from the Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) for the 2015 New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) 73, which is based on the woodstove emissions standards from the state of Washington in 1995. The RIA notes that the emissions factors for woodstove, fireplace inserts, and pellet stoves will not decrease from that level until the Step 2 standards become effective in 2020. Therefore, EPA used the Washington state emissions factors to estimate 2017 emissions for these categories.
3.16.3 Spatial Allocation Spatial allocation was not necessary since occupied housing units were available by county.
3.16.4 Emissions Estimates Annual emissions for each county and wood burning device were calculated according to the following equation: TPY = (OHU) x (usage fraction) x (T burned/device-yr) x (pollutant lb/T) x (T/2000 lb) where OHU= number of occupied housing units in the county

3.17 Industrial and Commercial/Institutional (ICI) Fuel Use Industrial and Commercial/Institutional (ICI) fuel combustion sources include emissions from boilers, engines, and other combustion sources from the industrial, commercial, and institutional sectors that are not reported as large point sources. This category includes emissions from combustion of coal, distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, kerosene, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), natural gas, and wood. The calculations for estimating emissions from the ICI sectors include estimating the total fuel consumption by sector in each state, using data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) State Energy Data System (SEDS). Total fuel consumption is adjusted to account for fuel consumed by mobile sources in each sector and fuel used as an input to industrial processes but is not combusted. Washington submitted state-level fuel consumption data from point sources in these sectors to EPA, using information from the WEIRS database and as reported by local clean air agencies. The state-level point source fuel consumption was subtracted from the total fuel consumption to estimate the fuel consumption from nonpoint sources, and EPA calculated the subsequent emissions.
3.17.1 Activity Level The activity data for this source category is total fuel consumption in the industrial and commercial/institutional sectors. The default data for this category are obtained from the total 2017 state-level fuel consumption in each sector from EIA SEDS 74 for all fuel types except distillate. Distillate fuel consumption is taken from EIA’s Form 821 data 75, which reports distillate sales by state and sector for 2016. Table 3-45. State Industrial and Commercial/Institutional Fuel Use

An adjustment was made to the nonpoint estimate of industrial wood combustion, since it was unreasonably high. After consultation with a senior Ecology engineer, and consistent with the previous EI, it was decided to estimate nonpoint industrial wood combustion at 25% of the total point source value.
2017 Washington State Comprehensive Emissions Inventory Page 56
3.17.2 Spatial Allocation The estimated state-level nonpoint source activity data in each state is distributed to the county level based on employment in the industrial or commercial sector from the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns76. The adjusted nonpoint fuel consumption in each state is distributed to the county based on the proportion of employment in each county in each sector to the total employment at the state level in each sector.
3.17.3 Emission Rates and Emissions Emissions were calculated as: E = A x EF where A is the amount of fuel used (reference table of fuel use), and EF is the emission rate in lbs/unit. The emission factors are provided in the Appendix to the “ICI NEMO FINAL_4-2 updated.docx” document on the 2017 NEI Supplemental data FTP site.

3.18 Agricultural Harvesting Operations The Western Regional Air Partnership (WRAP) published a handbook for calculating dust emissions which includes harvesting operations. Harvesting emissions are generated by three different operations: crop handling by the harvest machine, loading of the harvested crop into trailers or trucks, and transport by trailers or trucks in the field. Emissions from these operations are in the form of solid particulates composed mainly of raw plant material and soil dust that is entrained into the air.77 The WRAP Handbook recommended the methodology and emission rates used by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
3.18.1 Activity Level and Spatial Adjustments
Acres harvested by crop type are the measure of activity. Every 5 years an extensive national census is made. The USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) published the USDA/WSDA crop data and Census data on-line for query and download 78. Statistics from the 2017 census were obtained for several major crop and fruit types. “Acres Harvested” statistics were used for most crops, except for fruit statistics that are reported as “Acres Bearing”. The data included individual county acreage estimates for several crop types, but individual county acreage was considered confidential in some instances. State totals were used to evenly apportion remaining crop acreage to individual counties when county estimates were withheld.
Harvested acreage by county is shown in Table 3-38, with similar crop types grouped as follows: Beans & Peas: Dry Beans, Lima Beans, Snap Beans, Lentils, Dry Peas, Green Peas Fruit: Apples, Apricots, Berries, Cherries, Grapes, Nectarines, Peaches, Pears, Plums Grains: Barley, Canola, Corn, Wheat Hay & Haylage: Alfalfa Hay, Hay, Alfalfa Haylage, Haylage Potatoes: Potatoes Other Crops: Hops, Oats, Onions

3.18.3 Emissions Estimates
Annual county emissions estimates of agricultural harvesting were calculated by multiplying the emission rates by the number of harvested acres by crop type.
TPY = (acres) x (lb pollutant/acre) x (1 T/2000 lb)
2017 Washington State Comprehensive Emissions Inventory Page 60
3.19 Agricultural Tilling Fugitive dust emissions from agricultural tilling include the airborne soil particulate emissions produced during the preparation of agricultural lands for planting. Fugitive dust emissions from agricultural tilling were estimated for PM10 and PM2.5.
3.19.1 Activity Level Acres tilled by crop type are the measure of activity. The total number of acres of farmland for all crop types by county was obtained from the WSDA 2017 Agricultural Land Use GIS Data.78 All farmland data was aggregated to the following crop types: barley, beans, canola, corn, fallow, alfalfa, hay/grass/silage (non-alfalfa), oat, other, pasture, peas, potato, rye, sorghum, soybean, sunflower, tobacco, beets, and wheat. All hay and seed categories were aggregated to their respective crop types where possible (e.g. alfala hay and alfafa seed are treated as “alfalfa”). Only wheat fallow and tilled fallow were included for “fallow” crop type. The WSDA GIS Data did not separate winter and spring wheat, so the corresponding ratio from the 2014 EI was applied to the total 2017 wheat acreage. Acres farmed by county for crop type groups are shown in Table 3-40.
3.19.2 Emissions Rates
The emission rates for agricultural tilling are based on the number of tilling passes made per year and the silt content of the soil. The number of tilling passes by crop type and farming practice (e.g. conservation or conventional land use) were taken from the Midwest Research Institute 79 and revised based on information from the WSU College of Agriculture 80. All pastureland is assumed to be no-till. The fraction of acres farmed that are conventional, no-till, or in conservation were obtained from the 2014 EI.
The following equation was used to determine the particle emission rates from agricultural tilling for 2017 81 82.
Emissions Rate (lbs/acre) = c × k × s0.6 × p
where: c = constant of 4.8 lbs/acre-pass k = dimensionless particle size multiplier (PM10=0.21; PM2.5=0.042) s = percent silt content of surface soil, defined as the mass fraction of particles
smaller than 50 μm diameter found in surface soil p = number of tilling passes in a year
Silt content by county was based on the National Cooperative Soil Survey data 83.

3.20 Structure & Vehicle Fires
Emissions from accidental structure and vehicle fires were estimated. Structure fires resulting from unintentional actions, arson, or natural events were included. Vehicle fires included any commercial or private vehicles authorized for use on public roads. Fire emissions were estimated using methods in the EIIP.84,85
3.20.1 Activity Level
National structure and vehicle fire records are maintained by the Department of Homeland Security US Fire Administration. Records are kept on the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS).86 Structure and vehicle fire data was taken from the NFIRS database by county for 2017. As of 2012, reporting to NFIRS is optional and one county (Ferry) did not report their 2017 data, so the most recently reported year (2011) was used.
3.20.2 Emission Rates
The EIIP provided loading and emission factors.8484,85 The loading factor was 1.15 tons consumed per structure fire and 0.25 tons consumed per vehicle fire. Emission factors are shown below. PM10 and PM2.5 were estimated from total PM factors using California size fractions for unplanned structure fires (profile 137).87

3.21 Natural/Biogenic Emissions from natural/biogenic activity of trees, shrubs, and soil were estimated using the Model of Emissions of Gases and Aerosols from Nature (MEGAN) v2.188. Monthly MEGAN results were obtained from the AIRPACT-5 framework at Washington State University for 2017. It should be noted that MEGAN does not include detailed information about agricultural vegetation in Washington.
3.21.1 Activity Level MEGAN is a process-based model that uses landcover (e.g. plant functional type and leaf area index) and meteorology to estimate emissions from soil and vegetation. Meteorological information was obtained from the UW WRF 4-km forecasts. Plant activity is determined within the model by using a leaf age model, a canopy environment model, soil moisture algorithms, CO2 algorithms, and light and temperature algorithms. The different plant functional types are shown in the table below. Table 3-53. MEGAN Functional Plant Types
Class # Plant Type 1 Needleleaf Evergreen Temperate Tree 2 Needleleaf Evergreen Boreal Tree 3 Needleleaf Deciduous Boreal Tree 4 Broadleaf Evergreen Tropical Tree 5 Broadleaf Evergreen Temperate Tree 6 Broadleaf Deciduous Tropical Tree 7 Broadleaf Deciduous Temperate Tree 8 Broadleaf Deciduous Boreal Tree 9 Broadleaf Evergreen Temperate Shrub
10 Broadleaf Deciduous Temperate Shrub 11 Broadleaf Deciduous Boreal Shrub 12 Arctic C3 Grass 13 Cool C3 Grass 14 Warm C4 Grass 15 Crop
3.21.2 Emission Rates The MEGAN model estimates emissions of individual VOCs, NO, and CO. The VOCs reported include isoprene, methanol, ethanol, acetaldehyde, acetone, alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, t-beta-ocimene, limonene, ethene, and propene, terpenoids, monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. The emission factors for each pollutant by plant class # are shown in the table below. AIRPACT groups many of these VOCs together and they were added together to get a total VOC estimate.

3.21.3 Emissions Estimates Annual county emissions estimates were calculated by adding the monthly MEGAN emissions estimates for 2017. Emissions estimates of VOCs, NO, and CO came directly from the process described above. Emissions estimates of acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, and methanol were obtained by using the VOC split factors applied by EPA for the NEI, which ranged from 2-3%, 3-5%, and 6-15% respectively.
2017 Washington State Comprehensive Emissions Inventory Page 68
3.22 Emissions Calculated by EPA The Dept. of Ecology acquired CAP emission estimates from EPA for several source types, as calculated in the 2017 NEI. The Dept. of Ecology acquired HAP emission estimates from EPA for all non-point sources as available. Some of the source categories acquired from EPA were calculated using inputs from Ecology and are discussed in the corresponding sections of this document. The technical support document for EPA 2017 National Emission Inventory provides information about each source type calculated by EPA.89
3.22.1 Acquired Source Types for CAPs Select EPA 2017 NEI CAP emissions were combined with the rest of the Comprehensive EI.
