B3b. Exhaust Emissions (Disposal Equipment) <br />Emissions of nitrous oxide from solid waste disposal are calculated using the following equations: <br />-1 <br />Y = (E)*(h)*(n)*(C) <br />A <br />Y = annual emissions of nitrous oxide from solid waste disposal, tons/yr. <br />A <br />E = emission factor for disposal equipment, lbs/hr (SCAQMD Off-Road Mobile Source Emission Factors, 2007). <br />h = operating hours per day, 2 hrs/day. <br />n = days per year, 365 days/yr. <br />C = conversion factor from lbs to tons, 2,000 lbs/ton. <br />E, lbs/hr *h, hrs/day **n, days/yrC, lbs/tons <br />Vehicle TypeY, tons/yr <br />AWE <br />Excavator1.324923652,0000.48 <br />Grader1.619123652,0000.59 <br />Off-Highway Tractor2.176723652,0000.79 <br />Off-Highway Truck2.725623652,0000.99 <br />Total, tons/yr2.85 <br />* E = emission factor for disposal equipment based on the composite nitrogen oxide emission factor for each vehicle type. <br />** h = operating hours per day (and vehicle fleet) are based on typical operating time (and vehicle fleet) necessary to dispose 5.11 tons of solid <br />waste per day. <br />B4. Wastewater <br />Emissions of nitrous oxide from waste water treatment are calculated using the following equation: <br />Y = (Y)*(R) <br />A2A1W <br />Y = annual emissions of nitrous oxide from waste water treatment, tons/yr. <br />A2 <br />Y = annual emissions of nitrous oxide from electricity used for potable water treatment and transportation, tons/yr. <br />A1 <br />R = ratio between potable water usage and waste water production, 0.56 (USEPA, 1992). <br />W <br />Y, tons/yrR *Y, tons/yr <br />A1WA2 <br />7.70E-010.564.31E-01 <br />* R = ratio between water usage and waste water production based on the ratio between indoor water usage and total water usage per <br />W <br />household under the assumption that emissions from potable water treatment and transportation for domestic use are equal to emissions from <br />waste water transportation and treatment. <br />C.
