1 URBEMIS 2007 Training South Coast AQMD September 19, 2007 Tim Rimpo – Jones & Stokes

2 Today’s Presentation What is URBEMIS2007? When do you use URBEMIS2007? Why use URBEMIS2007? What are the improvements? Where do you find it? How do you use it?

3 What is URBEMIS2007? Free Software Program URBAN EMISSIONS + EMFAC2007 Limited to Land Use Projects Emissions Estimated Include ROG, NOx, CO, SOx, PM10 and PM2.5 (Exhaust and Dust), CO2

4 What is URBEMIS2007? Used to Estimate Project-Specific Emissions Emissions Can Be Estimated Separately for Project Construction, Area, and Operations (lbs/day & tons/yr)

5 When Do You Use URBEMIS? CEQA Projects: Initial Studies, Negative Declarations, Mitigated Neg Decs, EIRs NEPA Projects: Environmental Assessments, EISs General Conformity Emission Inventories Indirect Source Rules

6 Why Use URBEMIS ? Recommended by Most Air Districts Standardizes Emission Calculations for Land Uses Quicker Approach than Estimating from Scratch What Mitigation is Appropriate?

7 What URBEMIS2007 Can’t Do Stationary Sources Road Widening/Linear Infrastructure Agricultural Sources, Aircraft, or Boats Emissions of TACs (Except Diesel Exhaust) Dispersion Modeling or Estimating Ambient Concentrations

8 Use URBEMIS with Caution Large Projects Trips and VMT Consistent with Traffic Model Complicated, Multi-Phased Projects

9 URBEMIS2007 Improvements Emfac2007 and Offroad2007 Air District and County-Level Default Files Construction Phasing PM2.5 and CO 2 Improved Look and Feel
