Review of surface coal mining emission factors. Interim report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:80603
This interim report provides a review of currently available, field-measurement-based emission factors for surface coal mines (SCMs) and describes field testing needs to address gaps in the data base. Section 2 presents a brief overview of the surface coal mining industry. Section 3 describes the types of emission sources found at SCMs, emphasizing operating characteristics that are potentially different between various parts of the country. In Section 4, the methods available to estimate emissions from SCM sources are discussed and major gaps within the data base are identified. Section 5 summarizes the results of the review and presents a series of recommendations.
