This forum on July 11-12, 2006 in Portland, OR, led by Dave Randall of Air Sciences Inc., aims to build seasonal Emission Reduction Techniques (ERTs) to aid Smoke Management Programs. The process involves creating ERT matrices, definitions, and tool delivery to SMPs. With input from Regional Experts, the goal is to provide simple yet effective tools consistent with quantitative methods for measuring ERT impact. The forum will establish seasonal ERT suites for different vegetation types and assign Emission Reduction Factors accordingly. It will equip SMPs with practical resources like a 2-page hardcopy, Excel workbooks, and reference materials for emissions inventory. Join this collaborative effort for enhanced fire emissions reduction.

  1. July 11, 2006 / 2pEmissions Reduction Techniques Suite Fire Emissions Joint Forum July 11-12, 2006 Portland, OR Dave Randall, Air Sciences Inc.

  2. Objectives • Brief review of process to build suite of seasonal ERTs • A look at the numbers. • Description of the ERT Technical Tool

  3. ERT’s – What do we need? • Relatively simple tools to assist Smoke Management Programs (SMPs) with quantitatively accounting for the application of ERT’s on Rx fire events. • Technical methods consistent with the quantitative methods implemented in the projection inventories.

  4. Step 1 – Build ERT Matrix

  5. Step 2 - ERT Definitions

  6. Step 3 – ERT Matrix “Boiled-up”-- Seasonal Suites of ERTs -- • List common combinations of ERT’s applied during each season for the four vegetation types(Grass, Brush, Timber, Crop). • From available Emission Reduction Factor (ERF) information, assign a single ERF to each seasonal suite of ERTs. • Input from Regional Experts • SW – Fitch/Lahm, USDA FS • NW – Russell, USDA FS/USDOI BLM • IMW – Paintner, USDOI NPS • Prepare the Seasonal Suite table for each sub-region.

  7. Seasonal ERT Suites

  8. Example ERT Suite

  9. Step 4 – Deliver ERT Technical Tool to SMPs • 2-page HARDCOPY PRINTOUT • Reference materials at SMP desk. • EXCEL Workbook • Reference materials • Could be used as LOOKUP table in emissions inventory system
