Title: Air emission inventory for the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:10150471

During the fall of 1989, an Air Emission Inventory was initiated at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL). This inventory was undertaken in part at the request of the State of Idaho Air Quality Bureau (IAQB) so that the emission of air contaminants from the INEL could be quantified and this information used when future air permits are evaluated. The INEL would also benefit by: enabling preparation of an application for a site-wide permit to operate, facilitating preparation of other air permits, and allowing the INEL management to track and receive credit for facilities that are being phased out. The air contaminants that are included in this inventory are the Criteria Pollutants (Nitrogen Oxides, Sulfur Oxides, Carbon Monoxide, Volatile Organic Compounds, Lead, and PM10), and Radionuclides. For this inventory, all particulate (TSP) is considered to be PM10, but will be differentiated in the Toxic Air Pollutant inventory that INEL will prepare over the next year. It is important to note that many of the terms used in this document are not used as defined in the regulations for the control of air pollution. Terms such as major, minor, and significant with regards to emissions are used as relational terms to the inventory, rather than descriptive of regulatory concepts. When this information is used for permitting purposes, these terms will be reserved for their regulatory meanings.
