Augmentation Multiplication Factors

This data table view displays all the output pollutants and multiplication factors associated with a given Augmentation Profile and input pollutant.

Within the table, you have the option to filter by Augmentation Type from the drop down menu above the table; filter each column by typing text into the search box above each column and; sort the column results by ascending or descending alpha or numeric order. You may also download your data table results in a CSV file by clicking the CSV link below the table.

Components


Profiles

A profile provides a description of the process for which a set of augmentation multiplication factors are created. This description is unique. In addition to the description, the source of how the factors are formed is displayed. A profile will belong to a type of augmentation (such as “Chromium Augmentation” or “HAP Augmentation”). Each profile should have a description and an augmentation type defined.

Example: “combust wood - wood bark waste- 20 percent moisture”

Profile Input Pollutants

Each profile will have at least one input pollutant but may have more than one. The input pollutant determines the value that will be used to augment the data. For example, if this were a “Chromium” type of speciation factor, the input pollutant would be “Total Chromium”. If this were a “HAP” type of speciation factor, then the input pollutants for a profile may be “VOC”, “SO2”, and/or some form of particulate matter. The combination of the Profile and Input Pollutant will be unique.

Each profile will have at least one input pollutant but may have more
                                        than one. The input pollutant determines the value that will be used to augment the
                                        data.

Profile Output Pollutants

For each profile – input pollutant combination, a set of output pollutants (along with the multiplication factor to apply) is defined. To use the “Chromium” augmentation example, there would be two output pollutants: “Trivalent Chromium” and “Hexavalent Chromium”. For each output pollutant, a multiplication factor will be provided.

Augmentation Profile Factors


For each profile – input pollutant combination, a set of output
                                    pollutants (along with the multiplication factor to apply) is defined.

Augmentation Profile Assignments

For each profile – input pollutant combination, information on what records can be applied is defined by its Profile Assignment attributes. A profile assignment can be assigned based on the following components shown in priority order:

  1. EIS Emissions Process ID (Point Only)
  2. EIS Facility Site ID (Point Only)
  3. County
  4. State
  5. Emissions type Code (Non-Point, On-Road, and Non-Road only)
  6. Source Classification Code (SCC)
  7. Regulatory Code
  8. NAICS Code (Point Only)
  9. Default if none of the other characteristics apply (used for chromium augmentation only)
For each profile – input pollutant combination, information on what
                                    records can be applied is defined by its Profile Assignment attributes.

A profile assignment may be defined by one or more components. There is also a “default value” if there isn’t a profile assignment specifically defined. A given emissions record may meet the definitions of multiple profile assignments. In this case, the “most restrictive” record should be used. For example, if a profile assignment for SCC “12345678” exists and a profile for SCC “12345678” in the state of “NC” exists, if the record under consideration is in NC and has an SCC of “12345678”, the profile for “12345678” and “NC” would be used.

The combination of the EIS Process ID, EIS Facility ID, SCC, Emissions Type, Regulatory Code, NAICS Code, State Code, and Default indicator must be unique for a given Augmentation Type (not by Profile – Pollutant combination).

SCC Assignment

Indicators must be unique for a
                                            given Augmentation Type (not by Profile – Pollutant combination).

EIS Facility Assignment

Indicators must be unique for a
                                            given Augmentation Type (not by Profile – Pollutant combination).

Additional information about the Augmentation Profile Assignment components can be viewed by clicking on the “plus” icon next to the assignment in the Augmentation Profile Assignments table. A pop out box will provide a more detailed description of the specific profile assignment component as shown below.

EIS Process Assignment

A pop out box will provide a more detailed
                                            description of the specific profile assignment component.

NAICS Assignment

Indicators must be unique for a
                                            given Augmentation Type (not by Profile – Pollutant combination).
