3.1 Sector Description

The nonroad mobile data category includes emissions from mobile sources that do not operate on roads, excluding commercial marine vessels, locomotives, and aircraft. The emissions included in the NEI for this category are modeled using MOVES and cover nonroad equipment in 10 broad economic sectors: construction, agriculture, industrial, lawn & garden (commercial and residential), commercial, logging, railroad support (excluding locomotives), recreational vehicles, recreational marine (pleasure craft; excluding commercial marine vessels), and underground mining. Nonroad equipment emissions were computed by running the Nonroad component of MOVES5 [ref 1] for all states other than California, which developed their nonroad emissions inventory using their own tools.
