Summary of the WRAP’s Emission Inventory for Dust Alice Edwards, Alaska Dept. of Environmental Conservation WRAP Fire, Carbon, and Dust Workshop Sacramento, CA May 23, 2006
Emission Inventory Sources • WRAP stationary and area sources • Eastern Research Group • Enhanced and projected the 2002 NEI with QA and state input/review • http://www.wrapair.org/forums/ssjf/documents/eictts/index.html • CA emissions obtained separately from ARB
Emission Inventory Sources • WRAP paved and unpaved road dust • ENVIRON • Surveyed state/local agencies for paved and unpaved VMT data updates • Applied EPA emission factor methodology • Draft report available soon on WRAP website • CA emissions obtained separately
Emission Inventory Sources • Windblown dust • ENVIRON • Windblown dust model applied to entire modeling domain • Based on 2002 wind and precipitation data, most readily available land use / land cover data, crop harvesting data, and soil group emission factors • Phase II final report being posted at: • http://www.wrapair.org/forums/dejf/docs.html
Emission Inventory Sources • Emissions outside WRAP region (non-windblown) • Mexico • http://www.wrapair.org/forums/ef/docs.html • Canada, other U.S. states, non-mobile ocean • Obtained by WRAP RMC through an inter-RPO process • Boundary conditions • Obtained by WRAP RMC from Harvard Univ., which used the global GEOS-CHEM model
