5.4 Other Waste Management
5.4.1 Emissions
Introduction
This category accounts for emissions from other industrial and commercial - waste management facilities. Emissions from this category were obtained from point source data only, as contained in the District’s Data Bank. Greenhouse gas emissions, namely carbon dioxide (CO2) was also calculated for this category.
Methodology
This category contains emissions from point sources only. The Data Bank contains throughput information submitted by individual plants by sources. Emissions are then calculated by using specific emission factors and control factors, if any, for a particular source operation supplied by the company.
Monthly Variation
The data band contains percentage of throughput data for each of the four 3-month seasonal periods: (December - February, March - May, June - August, September - November).
County Distribution
The data bank system contains information on the county location of each processing plant; hence, emissions are distributed to the counties accordingly.
