Uses of EI Data Monitor sources for changes Follow trends over time Effects result from new sources or facility shutdowns Provides information for potential inspections Development of a TIP Region 10 goals NEI submission 8
Phased Approach Phase I – Base line using existing data FARR registration 2 years to get all sources registered Phase II – Other sources added Roads – nonpoint Wildfires – event Prescribed burning – event Phase III – Off-reservation sources Parts of five counties Identify sources that may affect reservation 9
Quality Assurance / Quality Control System of review Audit procedures QC – Reality check consisting of completeness and reasonableness reviews QA – Peer review 10
Completeness Checks Levels in TEISS program Point Location Facility Release Points Emission Units Processes Reporting Period Actual Emissions 11
Completeness Checks Input tree and printed reports used to verify that all data points needed are satisfied Assured that units, equipment types, IDs, and other parameters are consistent If data points are not fully defined, effort was made to provide necessary information by using source documents Review of transcription of data to TEISS program used to check for accuracy 12
Reasonableness checks Determine if data, emission factors, emissions estimates are within range of normal Compared similar facilities Compared with surrounding county and state EI information 13
Data Collection Title V permits and reporting documents Title V fee calculation worksheets and facility applications Non Title V permits FARR registration Full Compliance Evaluation Technical Report 14
