Executive Summary
Criteria pollutant, hazardous air pollutant (HAP) and greenhouse gas (GHG) annual air emission inventories (AEIs) for stationary and mobile sources were performed for Beale Air Force Base (AFB) for the calendar year of 2016. The criteria pollutants consist of particulate matter less than 10 micrometers in aerodynamic diameter (PM10), particulate matter less than 2.5 micrometers in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5), oxides of sulfur (SOX), oxides of nitrogen (NOX), carbon monoxide (CO), lead and volatile organic compounds (VOC). GHG emissions were calculated in carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e). The AEI was prepared using the Air Force’s Air Program Information Management System (APIMS) with data provided by base points of contact (POCs) and gathered during an on-site field survey conducted March 15 and 16, 2017 along with material usage information from the Enterprise Environmental, Safety and Occupational Health – Management Information System (EESOH-MIS).
The AEI was prepared in accordance with guidance, methodologies and emission factors (EF) from the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) Air Emissions Factor Guide for Air Force Stationary Sources (July 2016) and Air Emissions Guide for Air Force Mobile Sources (July 2016).
Figure 1 presents the 2016 total annual criteria and HAP emissions for Beale AFB, Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) and the Perimeter Acquisition Vehicle Entry Phased Array Warning System (PAVE PAWS [Space Command]) stationary sources in tons per year. Further details of emission results are provided in Sections 1.3.1, 1.3.3 and 1.3.4 of this report.

1 Introduction
1.1 Background
In accordance with Section 4.2 of Air Force Instruction (AFI) 32-7040 Air Quality Compliance and Resource Management dated October 14, 2016, a 2016 calendar year AEI was prepared for Beale AFB. This report contains the 2016 stationary and mobile source AEI for Beale AFB for criteria pollutant, HAP and GHG emissions. The AEI was prepared in accordance with the AFCEC Air Emissions Factor Guide for Air Force Stationary Sources, Air Emissions Factor Guide for Air Force Mobile Sources and the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) AP-42. Emission calculations were conducted utilizing APIMS with data gathered during an on-site field survey conducted on March 15 and 16, 2017, material usage and material properties from the EESOH- MIS to APIMS interface and supplemental data provided by Beale AFB.
Beale AFB is located in northern California approximately eight miles east of Marysville and 45 miles north of the Sacramento metropolitan area. The 9th Reconnaissance Wing (9 RW) is the host unit at Beale AFB. The 9 RW collects intelligence essential for Presidential and Congressional decisions critical to the national defense. The wing is equipped with the nation's fleet of U-2 Dragon Lady and RQ-4 Global Hawk unmanned aircraft and associated support equipment.
Beale AFB has several tenant organizations including Houston Fearless, AAFES and PAVE PAWS.
Air quality emission sources at Beale AFB are permitted by Feather River Air Quality Management District (FRAQMD), California Air Resources Board, Placer County Air Pollution Control District and Butte County Air Quality Management District. The majority of permitted air quality emission sources are covered by a FRAQMD permit. Currently, FRAQMD does not request an annual AEI submission from Beale AFB. However, a copy has historically been sent to FRAQMD as a courtesy.
1.2 Work Approach
The existing Beale AFB air emission equipment/process information in APIMS along with current air quality permits were reviewed and used to: establish a baseline list of air quality equipment/processes located at Beale AFB; determine additional data needed for completion of the emission inventory (i.e., process throughput – hours of operation and quantity of fuel used); and select the data/processes to be site-validated during the on-site field survey. A data request specifying the information required to prepare the AEI was submitted to Beale AFB on February 20, 2017. The purpose of this data request was to help prepare Beale AFB for the site visit, allow for identification of subject matter experts and base POCs and gather information needed for completion of the AEI.
The process data in APIMS was reviewed to determine appropriate processes for on-site field survey.
Processes were selected in order to:
> validate air pollution control device information;
> determine if an air pollution control device is associated to the process;
> identify building/location of a process;
> determine if low NOX technology is used for a process/equipment;
> identify correct data for a process where no APIMS data or conflicting APIMS data existed; and
> determine the status (i.e., active, inactive, demolished) of a process.
During the on-site field survey, data for 92 processes (approximately 19% of the stationary sources) were validated. The processes covered 16 of the 21 stationary source categories at Beale AFB. For the processes included in the on-site field survey, most of the existing APIMS data impacting air emissions were found to be correct. Based on these results, it would appear the process data in APIMS that impacts air emissions is highly
W91238-14-C-0044 August 21, 2017 Cardno 2 of 73 reliable. Table 1-1 provides details of the processes surveyed and the data validated during the site visit.
Where appropriate, APIMS was updated to reflect the information gathered during the site visit.

AFCEC issued new guidance in the October 2014 Air Emissions Guide for Air Force Stationary Sources in regards to source categories to be considered as ‘transitory’. From page 2 of the guide:
“Transitory sources are non-routine and/or seasonal sources (may be stationary, mobile or neither) that are short-term in nature. While historically transitory sources have been erroneously included as stationary or mobile sources in AEIs, transitory source emissions should generally only be accounted for in evaluating potential air quality impacts of proposed action under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA); National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), General Conformity, etc.”
Previously, the following source categories had been included in AEIs but were not included in the 2016 AEI due to the new AFCEC guidance to consider them as transitory sources:
> Equipment Leaks
> Fuel Spills
> Construction
> Prescribed Burning
The following source categories, although considered transitory, were included in the 2016 AEI because they have historically been included in the AB 2588 Air Toxics ‘Hot Spots’ Emission Inventory Update submissions:
> Fuel Cell Maintenance
> Remediation
The algorithms and EF sets associated with the existing processes were reviewed to validate consistency with the current AFCEC Air Emissions Guide for Air Force Stationary Sources, Air Emissions Guide for Air Force Mobile Sources and EPA’s AP-42. Existing APIMS process data were updated as necessary and consumption data and information for newly identified air emission equipment/processes were entered into APIMS using the application program interface (API) and other appropriate methods.
The following emission calculations were used in APIMS for the 2016 AEI with a start date of January 1, 2016 and an end date of December 31, 2016:
> Annual Stationary Emission Calculation – Beale AFB
> Annual EESOH-MIS Emission Calculation – Beale AFB
> Annual Mobile Emission Calculation – Beale AFB
> 2016 Tank Emission Calculation – Beale AFB
> Annual AAFES Emissions – AAFES
> Annual PAVE PAWS Emissions – PAVE PAWS (Space Command)

1.3.1 Beale AFB Stationary Sources
The overall 2016 emissions from stationary sources differ from the 2015 emissions calculated in APIMS for the following source categories:
> Abrasive Blasting – 2016 throughput values are lower than 2015 throughput values, resulting in 2016 emission results lower than 2015 emission results.
> Degreasing / Solvent Cleaning – 2016 emission results and throughput values are lower than 2015 emission results and throughput values.
> Fuel Loading Racks – Fuel speciations in APIMS changed for 2016, resulting in 2016 HAP emission results higher than 2015 emission results.
> Fuel Storage – Underground Tanks – 2016 throughput values are higher than 2015 throughput values, resulting in 2016 emission results higher than 2015 emission results.
> Herbicide / Pesticide Application – 2016 throughput values are higher than 2015 throughput values, resulting in 2016 emission results higher than 2015 emission results.

1.4 Recommendations
The following recommendations are presented for consideration for future emission inventories:
> The Civil Engineering heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) shop should continue using the Refrigerant Compliance module in APIMS to track the amount of refrigerant added and recovered for each piece of equipment.
> The Refrigerant Compliance module in APIMS should be used for other shops servicing refrigerant equipment. Use of the module will also allow for the tracking of each piece of refrigerant equipment and the equipment capacity.
> EESOH-MIS should continue to be utilized to track hazardous materials usage in all shops on base, whether contractor or government operated. Ongoing dedicated management efforts to identify and correct any potential data gaps (e.g., Houston Fearless contractor shop material tracking currently being brought into full compliance with the rest of the installation) will help provide accurate data for future AEIs as well as maintain compliance with AFI 32-7086 Hazardous Materials Management, February 4, 2015, Chapter 3.2.
> Hours of operation by usage type (black start, emergency, maintenance/testing and non-emergency) should be tracked for all ICOM processes to demonstrate compliance with New Source Performance Standards Subpart IIII, Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines.

2 Stationary Sources - Calculation Methodologies and Assumptions
This section describes the stationary source categories inventoried at Beale AFB (for Beale AFB, AAFES and PAVE PAWS) and the methods used to calculate the 2016 emissions. Example calculations are intended to demonstrate the algorithms used and the data in the examples may not be representative of actual throughputs or emissions for Beale AFB. The 2016 emission results are provided by process in Appendix A. Additionally, the throughput data utilized in the calculations are provided by process in Appendix B.
2.1 Abrasive Cleaning
Abrasive paint removal or cleaning operations are performed with bead or abrasive media blasting. Bead media blasting is accomplished by suspending abrasive media beads in a high-pressure air stream. This stream is sprayed over the painted or dirty components and equipment surfaces. Abrasive cleaning at Beale AFB occurs in three blast booths located in buildings 1071, 1079 and 2140.
The amount of blast media used was provided by the base POC.
2.1.1 Emissions Calculation Methodology
Emissions from abrasive cleaning include PM10 and PM2.5. Emissions were calculated in APIMS using the following equation:
> Emissions (tons/yr) = media usage (lb/yr) × EF (lbs/lb) × (1 ton/2,000 lbs)
Example calculation:
Aluminum oxide used = 15,000 lb/yr
EF for PM10 = 5.90E-04 lbs/lb
- PM10 emissions (tons/yr) = 15,000 (lbs/yr) × 5.90E-04 lbs/lb × (1 ton/2,000 lbs) = 4.43E-03 tons/yr
Table 2-1 Abrasive Cleaning Emission Factors
Pollutant Emission Factor
(Controlled)
(lbs/lb)
PM10 5.90E-04
PM2.5 5.50E-04
2.2 Cooling Towers
One wet cooling tower used for comfort cooling is located at building 5761 and operated by PAVE PAWS.
Days of operation, water flow rate and total dissolved solids were provided by the base POC.
2.2.1 Emissions Calculation Methodology
Emissions from cooling towers include PM10 and PM2.5. Emissions were calculated in APIMS using the following equation:
> Emissions (tons/yr) = days operated (days/yr) × water flow rate (gal/day) × (0.001 103 gal/gal) × total dissolved solids (ppm) × (0.000001 ppm/weight fraction) × total liquid drift factor (lbs/103 gal) × fractional concentration of pollutant × (1 ton/2,000 lbs)
W91238-14-C-0044 August 21, 2017 Cardno 14 of 73
Example calculation:
Days operated = 365 days/yr
Water flow rate = 2,376,000 gal/day
Total dissolved solids = 615.8 ppm
Total liquid drift factor = 1.7 lbs/103 gal
Fractional concentration of PM10 = 0.70
- PM10 emissions (tons/yr) = 365 (days/yr) × 2,376,000 (gal/day) × (0.001 103 gal/gal) × 615.8 (ppm) × (0.000001 ppm/weight fraction) × 1.7 (lbs/103 gal) × 0.70 × (1 ton/2,000 lbs) = 0.32 tons/yr

Water Flow Rate gal/day 2,376,000
Total Dissolved Solids ppm 1,112
Total Liquid Drift Factor lbs/103gal 1.7
Fractional Concentration – PM10 -- 0.70
Fractional Concentration – PM2.5 -- 0.42
2.3 Degreasing / Solvent Cleaning
Degreasing and solvent cleaning operations involve cleaning and degreasing small parts using various degreasing and solvent chemicals in buildings 1086, 1225, 1319 and 2140. Parts are placed in the degreasing unit, soaked, removed and allowed to dry.
Materials used for degreasing and solvent cleaning were provided by the base POCs.
2.3.1 Emissions Calculation Methodology
Emissions from degreasing operations include VOC. Emissions were calculated in APIMS using the following equation:
> VOC emissions (tons/yr) = material consumed (gal/yr) × material density (lb/gal) × VOC content (weight percent) / 100 × (1 ton/2,000 lbs)
Example calculation:
Safety Kleen Premium Solvent 6638 consumed = 97 gal/yr
Material density = 6.55 lb/gal
VOC content = 100 weight percent
- VOC emissions (tons/yr) = 97 (gal/yr) × 6.55 (lb/gal)× 100 (weight percent) / 100 × (1 ton/2,000 lbs) = 0.32 tons/yr
2.4 External Combustion
Beale AFB uses natural gas, diesel and propane-fired boilers to supply comfort heating to individual buildings throughout the base. A consolidated process in APIMS is used to account for the small unpermitted natural gas-fired units used across the base. Forty-six additional processes in APIMS account for the permitted units. This includes two AAFES units and two PAVE PAWS (Space Command) units.
W91238-14-C-0044 August 21, 2017 Cardno 15 of 73
Hours of operation and fuel usage for external combustion units were provided by the base POC.
2.4.1 Emissions Calculation Methodology
Emissions from external combustion units include PM10, PM2.5, SOX, NOX, CO, VOC, lead, HAPs and GHG.
Emissions for external combustion were calculated in APIMS using the following equations:
Consolidated process for small natural gas-fired units:
> Emissions (tons/yr) = fuel consumption (MMscf/yr) × EF (lbs/MMscf) × (1 ton/2,000 lbs)
Example calculation:
Fuel consumption = 210 MMscf/yr natural gas
EF for PM10 = 7.6 lbs/MMscf
- PM10 emissions (tons/yr) = 210 (MMscf/yr) × 7.6 (lbs/MMscf) × (1 ton/2,000 lbs) = 0.80 tons/yr
All other natural gas-fired units:
> Emissions (tons/yr) = hours of operation (hrs/yr) × unit capacity (MMBtu/hr) / heat content of fuel (Btu/scf) × EF (lbs/MMscf) × (1 ton/2,000 lbs)
Example calculation:
Hours of operation = 4,000 hrs/yr
Unit capacity = 1.26 MMBtu/hr
Heat content of fuel = 1,050 Btu/scf
EF for PM10 = 7.6 lbs/MMscf
- PM10 emissions (tons/yr) = 4,000 (hr/yr) × 1.26 (MMBtu/hr) / 1,050 (Btu/scf) × 7.6 (lbs/MMscf) × (1 ton/2,000 lbs) = 0.02 tons/yr
Diesel-fired units:
> Emissions (tons/yr) = hours of operation (hrs/yr) × unit capacity (MMBtu/hr) / heat content of fuel (Btu/gal) × EF (lbs/103 gal) × (1 ton/2,000 lbs)
Example calculation:
Hours of operation = 4,000 hrs/yr
Unit capacity = 1.26 MMBtu/hr
Heat content of fuel = 137 Btu/gal
EF for PM10 = 1 lbs/103 gal
- PM10 emissions (tons/yr) = 4,000 (hr/yr) × 1.26 (MMBtu/hr) / 137 (Btu/gal) × 1 (lbs/103gal) × (1 ton/2,000 lbs) = 0.02 tons/yr
> SOX (tons/yr) = hours of operation (hrs/yr) × unit capacity (MMBtu/hr) / heat content of fuel (Btu/gal) × EF
(lbs/103 gal) × fuel sulfur content (weight percent) × (1 ton/2,000 lbs)
Example calculation:
Hours of operation = 4,000 hrs/yr
Unit capacity = 1.26 MMBtu/hr
Heat content of fuel = 137 Btu/gal
EF for SOX = 143.6 lbs/103 gal
W91238-14-C-0044 August 21, 2017 Cardno 16 of 73
Fuel sulfur content = 0.0015 weight percent
- SOX emissions (tons/yr) = 4,000 (hr/yr) × 1.26 (MMBtu/hr) / 137 (Btu/gal) × 143.6 (lbs/103gal) × 0.0015 (weight percent) × (1 ton/2,000 lbs) = 3.96E-03 tons/yr
Propane-fired units:
> Emissions (tons/yr) = hours of operation (hrs/yr) × unit capacity (MMBtu/hr) / heat content of fuel (Btu/gal) × EF (lbs/103 gal) × (1 ton/2,000 lbs)
Example calculation:
Hours of operation = 4,000 hrs/yr
Unit capacity = 1.26 MMBtu/hr
Heat content of fuel = 91 Btu/gal
EF for PM10 = 0.70 lbs/103 gal
- PM10 emissions (tons/yr) = 4,000 (hr/yr) × 1.26 (MMBtu/hr) / 91 (Btu/gal) × 0.70 (lbs/103 gal) × (1 ton/2,000 lbs) = 0.02 tons/yr

2.5 Fiberglass
Beale AFB operates one fiberglass booth located in building 1071. The fiberglass repair operations include patching, reinforcing and coating of fiberglass items using resins, catalysts and sheets of woven strands of fiberglass. Various sealants and adhesives are also used to fasten fiberglass pieces.
The amount of and type of materials used was provided by the base POC.
2.5.1 Emissions Calculation Methodology
Emissions from fiberglass repair operations include VOC. Emissions were calculated in APIMS using the following equation:
> VOC emissions (tons/yr) = material consumed (gal/yr) × material density (lb/gal) × VOC content (weight percent) / 100 × (1 ton/2,000 lbs)
Example calculation:
Resin = 97 gal/yr
Material density = 8.55 lb/gal
VOC content = 75 weight percent
- VOC emissions (tons/yr) = 97 (gal/yr) × 8.55 (lb/gal) × 75 (weight percent) / 100 × (1 ton/2,000 lbs) = 0.31 tons/yr
2.6 Fire Training
Fire fighter training occurs at Beale AFB using propane to simulate a realistic fire scenario.
The amount of fuel used was provided by the base POC.
2.6.1 Emissions Calculation Methodology
Emissions from fire training include PM10, PM2.5, SOX, NOX, CO, VOC, HAPs and GHG.
