CODES!!!

Why do we need them?◦Computers organize information by codes◦Standardize descriptions and categories

Examples◦States – CO, Co, Colo., Colorado◦A computer sees 08, the FIPS code for Colorado

◦Takes guesswork out◦One long code signifies a paragraph-long process

FIPS Codes

FIPS - Federal Information Processing Standard

States, Counties, and Tribes◦Example

Kansas FIPS code = 20 (2 digit) Brown County FIPS code = 013 (3 digit) Kickapoo FIPS code = 861 (3 digit)

SCC - Source Classification Codes Approximately 9,000 valid codes

◦ Maintained / categorized by U.S. EPASource Classification

◦Point = 8 characters◦Nonpoint, Non-Road, On-Road, Event and Biogenic

= 10 characters

EVERY PROCESS in TEISS must have an

SCC!Used as primary identifying data element in EPA's

National Emission Inventory (NEI)

6

SCC for Point Sources

Example: 30200501 3-02-005-01 = 8-characters

For each SCC, there are four levels of descriptions◦ SCC 1 Description (3): Industrial Processes

◦ SCC 3 Description (02): Food and Agriculture

◦ SCC 6 Description (005): Feed and Grain Terminal Elevators

◦ SCC 8 Description (01): Shipping and Receiving

7

SCC for Nonpoint and Other Sources

Example: 261003000026-10-030-000 = 10 charactersOnly 1 of each SCC in a location (reservation)

because nonpoint SCC emissions are combined (unless emission type is diff: evap, exhaust, refueling are diff types of emissions from same SCC)

For each SCC, four levels of descriptions◦ SCC 2 Description (26): Waste Disposal, Treatment, and Recovery

◦ SCC 4 Description (26-10): Open Burning

◦ SCC 7 Description (26-10-030): Residential

◦ SCC 10 Description (26-10-030-000): Household Waste

SIC and NAICS Codes SIC - Standard Industrial ClassificationNAICS – North American Industry

Classification System

Economic sector codesBeginning in 1997, SIC replaced by NAICSNAICS reorganizes categories on production/process-

oriented basis EVERY POINT SOURCE in TEISS must have a

NAICS Code!

TEISS View –NAICS Codes – How to Find Them

10

Let’s start a project

Open TEISS ViewClick ‘New’Name your project, log the name

◦Do not use special characters or spaces in name

Inventory year = 2011Select your state and tribe

◦Notice and log the FIPS code for your tribe

11

Then we’ll find some SCCs.

Database Login◦For Database Name, enter the name of your

TEISS project◦Leave User Name as “sa”◦Database Password is “eiview”

Application Credentials◦Leave User Name as Administrator◦Password is “Teiss” (w/ a capital T)

Homework due in 5 days:Start your new TEISS project in the course

folder on your hard drive, if you have not already done this.◦Name it something you can remember, like

YourTribeEI, log the name and location of the project in your TEISS logbook

Use it to determine the SCCs of the sources in the Homework_EICodes document.
