Invitation to Comment

Stakeholders are invited to review and comment on the draft 2007 inventories of air emissions from area and nonroad mobile sources in the Ozone Transport Region. These inventories will be used for regional air quality modeling. Emission estimates from Marine/Aircraft/Rail (MAR) nonroad sources are not yet available for review. MARAMA is coordinating the development of regional emissions inventories for air quality modeling. The inventory includes emissions from Connecticut, Delaware, The District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia.

Files for Review and How to Access Them

The posted inventories include annual emissions for sulfur dioxide (SO2), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOC), carbon monoxide (CO), ammonia (NH3), and five components of particulate matter (PM).
