Update on RPO EPA Fire Emissions Systems
  • Midwest RPO developing base year wildfire and
    prescribed fire EI for states in the upper
    Midwest
  • VISTAS for 2002
  • 6 survey fire activity data categories private
    public landowners
  • Waste
  • Land clearing
  • Silvicultural
  • Prescribed
  • Wildfire
  • Agricultural
  • Emissions calculated using EPA factors
  • Calculated state-level monthly prescribed and
    wildfire emissions do not match timing and
    magnitude of the same emissions generated by the
    emissions preprocessor for the air quality model

Update on RPO EPA Fire Emissions Systems
  • EPA 1999 2002 National Emissions Inventory (Tom
    Pace)
  • Better Wildfire Prescribed Fire emissions
    estimates
  • Seasonal, regional improvements
  • May use DRI county-level fire activity data
    report commissioned by DOI
  • Washington University-led (Stefan Falke) project
    to integrate fire databases
  • Based on virtual database idea
  • Will use transparent technology that identifies,
    analyzes, and relates common elements across
    various web-accessible databases
  • National Wildfire EI project (Pete Lahm) not
    yet discussed
