Pollution estimation factors. Final technical report
The Army is required to evaluate the environmental consequences of proposed actions while they are being planned. To effectively perform this task, Army planning personnel must have some means of predicting the amount and types of impacts likely to result from a particular action. For air pollution, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has developed a series of emission factors that relate pollutant quantities resulting from fuel combustion and industrial operations to the level of that particular polluting activity. This report extends the emission factor approach to allow estimation of types and amounts of solid waste and wastewater discharged from certain activities common to U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) and Forces Command (FORSCOM) military facility operation. The purpose of this report is to provide factors for estimating the amounts of air pollutants, water pollutants, and solid waste materials generated by the operation of military facilities and vehicles. The report consists of three parts based on the class of pollutants being estimated. One contains examples of how to use air pollutant emission factors and identifies Army-relevant portions of Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors. Another chapter contains factors for estimating solid waste composition and quantity. Also covered are factors for estimating wastewater composition and quantity. These estimation factors are based on data from the literature.
