3.5 Use of California Submitted Emissions

California submitted criteria and HAP nonroad emissions for EPA’s use in the NEI. California estimates emissions with California-specific inventory tools and converts them from their EIC codes to SCC codes via a crosswalk (Nonroad CARB SCC Xwalk.xlsx). The California criteria emissions and most HAP emissions were used directly. PAHs were not included in the California estimates dataset, so PAH emissions were taken from MOVES rather than from CARB. A list of the PAHs which are based on MOVES data rather than CARB data in California is in Table 3.5.

In addition, CO2 data were added to the California nonroad inventory based on EPA estimates, because CO2 emissions were not provided in the submission. EPA also speciated CARB total PM2.5 and PM10 using the same approach as for other states and copied the PM2.5 and PM10 to DIESEL-PM “pollutants” for all diesel SCCs. The California nonroad inventory included total chromium emissions, from which hexavalent chromium (pollutant code 18540299) was estimated as 0.29484% of total chromium. Table 3.6 illustrates pollutants and data source in the 2023 NEI.
