Options To Get 2008 Point and Nonpoint DataState Data Files – Data the state agency submitted

to NEI

◦ Register for EIS Gateway account, work with Sally

Dombrowski to establish an agreement with state agency

to access their data

GPR Data Files – General Purpose Release,

Compilation of data submitted to NEI by state

agencies, local agencies and EPA developed data

◦ Available from ITEP

3

State Data

Advantages

◦ Data available at any time once agreement

established

◦ Data can be included in optional fields, such as

Emission Unit Description

Disadvantages

◦ Data might not be as robust as GPR

◦ Multiple data files might need to be imported for

each source category

4

GPR Data

Advantages

◦ Likely the most robust data set in terms of

sources included

◦ Does not require importing multiple files for each

source category

Disadvantages

◦ Does not include data in optional fields

◦ Does not include release point apportionment,

meaning several TEISS reports pertaining to

release points do not run

5

2008 Nonroad and Onroad Data

National Mobile Inventory Model (NMIM)

County Database (NCD) emissions

snapshot data available from the EIS

Gateway system

◦ Emissions calculated by EPA with NMIM using

state agency data. If state agency did not supply

data, EPA calculated emissions with NMIM using

EPA default activity data

6

Nonroad and Onroad NCD Data

Under Emissions Snapshot filter, search for NCD

Use most recent “EPA Nonroad…” or “EPA Onroad…” file for your area

7

Initial StepsInitial StepsFiles you download from EIS are

zippedInitial step is to extract (unzip)

the filesThen, from within your TEISS

project…

Importing Point DataImporting Point DataFor State Data, you must import data

for point sources from two different files◦Facility Inventory file must be imported first This file has “Inventory_Snapshot” in its

name◦You can then import Point Emissions file This file name starts with “Point_Emissions”

For GPR Data, only one point source file to import

10

Importing State Data Facility Importing State Data Facility Inventory FileInventory File1. Check Import Point Sources box

2. Use button with folder icon to navigate to where you saved the “…Inventory_Snapshot…” file

3. Check Selected Locations button

4. Select one or several counties you want to import

5. Click on Import button

11

WaitingWaitingImporting might take awhile depending on

◦ File size ◦ How many counties you import

We recommend importing data for not more than three counties at a time, unless you have time to let your computer work

For this class, make sure you do not select All Locations under Import Options◦ It could take hours to load data for all counties

in a state, depending on file size

13

Importing State Data Point Emissions FileRepeat process to import Point

Emissions fileHowever, in Step 2, navigate to

where you saved “Point_Emissions…” file

Make sure you import emissions for same counties for which you imported facility inventory data

14

Importing Other DataNonpoint, Nonroad, Onroad, and

Event/Fire data files can be imported with the other tabs

Process is similar for these data types; however, there is only one file you need to import for each of these data types

15

Airport Emissions DataEmissions data for airports might

not be in State Data you imported If you notice this in TEISS project,

import those point emissions from a separate file

Get this file from EIS Gateway system

After extracting file, import file into TEISS as you do with Point Emissions file
