C.1.2.2 File Contents<br />
These files contain link-level paved <strong>road</strong> <strong>dust</strong> emissions in grams per day of PM 10 for Ada and<br />
Canyon Counties. Emissions have been calculated based on silt loading measurements<br />
conducted as part of the TVRDS and silt loadings specified as default values in AP-42. AP-42<br />
does not prescribe a method for correcting paved <strong>road</strong> <strong>dust</strong> emissions for precipitation.<br />
Therefore, no corrections have been applied to the emissions in these data files. Emissions have<br />
been calculated using three different sets of values for silt loadings. “TVRDS1” uses silt loading<br />
values measured as part of the TVRDS with the assumption that silt loadings on freeways are<br />
equal to the AP-42 default value of 0.02 grams per square meter. “TVRDS2” uses the same<br />
values as “TVRDS1” except that the silt loading on freeways is assumed to be the same as for<br />
arterials (1.9 and 0.5 grams per square meter for winter and average annual conditions,<br />
respectively). “AP-42” simply uses the default values for silt loading for all <strong>road</strong> classes. ALL<br />
EMISSSIONS ARE REPORTED FOR WEEKEDAYS ONLY. The Subdirectory<br />
“Traffic_Demand_Model_Summaries” contains additional information to allow calculation of<br />
weekend emissions. The fields in the worksheets along with their descriptions are given below:<br />
C.1.2.2a Field list for worksheets a.i, b.i, c.i, and d.i<br />
PROJ: The year corresponding to the Traffic Demand Model projection<br />
FID_1: Feature ID in Traffic Demand Model Database. The feature ID and the projection year<br />
together uniquely identify a link in the traffic demand model.<br />
A: The ID number for the starting Node for the link<br />
B: The ID number for the Terminating Node for the link<br />
COUNTY: The county that the link is in. 1=Ada, 2= Canyon.<br />
TVRDS1_W_SL: Silt loading in Grams per square meter used to calculate winter conditions<br />
emissions factors as described in Equation 2-3 of the TVRDS <strong>report</strong>. Silt loadings for freeways<br />
are assumed to be equal to the AP-42 default value of 0.02 grams per meter squared.<br />
TVRDS1_Ave_SL: Silt loading in Grams per square meter used to calculate average daily<br />
conditions emissions factors as described in Equation 2-3 of the TVRDS <strong>report</strong>. Silt loadings for<br />
freeways are assumed to be equal to the AP-42 default value of 0.02 grams per meter squared.<br />
TRVDS2_W_SL: Silt loading in Grams per square meter used to calculate winter conditions<br />
emissions factors as described in Equation 2-3 of the TVRDS <strong>report</strong>. Silt loadings for freeways<br />
are assumed to be equal to those for arterials, 1.9 grams per meter squared.<br />
TVRDS2_Ave_SL: Silt loading in Grams per square meter used to calculate average daily<br />
conditions emissions factors as described in Equation 2-3 of the TVRDS <strong>report</strong>. Silt loadings for<br />
freeways are assumed to be equal to those for arterials, 0.5 grams per meter squared.<br />
AP-42_W_SL: Silt loading in Grams per square meter used to calculate winter conditions<br />
emissions factors as described in Equation 2-3 of the TVRDS <strong>report</strong>. These are the default<br />
