Chapter 1 Introduction

This is a recreation of the BY2011 Methodology PDF, with several key enhancements:

Charts to illustrate emissions, control profiles, and growth profiles;
Tables with footnotes, dynamic calculations, and values pulled directly from BY2011 data (examples: Structural Coatings, Waste Burning, Accidental Fires, and Animal Waste);
Equations with rich formatting (examples: Sandblasting, Paved Roads, and Farming Operations);
Linked references to rules & regulations (example: Chemical Manufacturing); and
A list of errata, to serve as:
- a concrete list of things to be fixed in BY2015; and
- a resource for learning QA techniques that lead to the uncovering of errata in the first place.

It’s a work in progress, but very useful for understanding the BY2011 inventory. A forked copy can serve as the foundation of the BY2015 Methodology Report.
