TEISS Case Project IntroductionMelinda Ronca-Battista and Angelique LuedekerITEP/TAMS Center#Topics Covered in Case ProjectGenerating a new TEISS projectAdding Point sourcesAdding Nonpoint sources Using the TEISS calculatorsExporting data to EIS formatAdding a new inventory yearGenerating reports and charts#New Project GenerationWelcome Screen

Save project

You need to start a new project to work on the Case Project#Geographic Area & TimeframeCase Project for 2008 emission yearHopi Tribes ReservationDo not select your tribe for this Case Project

#Data Entry Option 1 - Source Type ToolbarFacility

Release point

Nonpoint

Non-road

On-road

Event

Can be used to enter sources into TEISS projectUsually only used for point sources and events where coordinates are not knownEasier to enter nonpoint and mobile sources manually instead of drawing them on map#Graphically Defining SourcesClick on icon of source type you want to add in toolbarDraw polygon for source, make sure it is in tribal boundaries (for Case Project, anywhere inside tribal boundaries is fine)Geographic data automatically input into TEISSNonpoint/Mobile sources automatically defined as entire county/tribe

#Location and Facility Data Entry

After drawing the facility on map, this window opensSelect Tribe and click Continue to open next screen for facility data entry#TEISS View Input Field ColorsMandatory Fields Mandatory for inventory. Designates a data element that EPA and most data users require to be present to consider an inventory usefulNecessary Fields Necessary fields also important to NEI data users, but for which reasonable defaulting schemes may be applied by EPA if value not reportedOptional FieldsQA/QC data, for example, and other info that is useful to track if you have collected it!

#Data Entry TipsCannot enter data in grey fieldsCannot type in fields with dropdown arrow or search button, must select from listClick OK button after entering data, otherwise data not saved

#Release Point Data EntrySelect Emission Release Point tool from Source Type toolbarClick in facility, in center of facility if you do not know exact location of release pointTEISS assigns coordinates that can be copied and pasted as facility coordinates

#Data Entry Option 2 - Defining Records ManuallyClick on Input icon if Linear Data Entry screen is not open

Point Data Elements that must be added manually:Emission UnitsProcessesControl EquipmentRelease Point ApportionmentReporting PeriodEmissionsClick on Add button to add a record; Edit or Delete a record by clicking on the record and selecting your option

#Defining Records ManuallyBlue shading shows which record type youre looking at.

Breadcrumbs panel shows which record youre working within. #Emission CalculatorsTEISS has built-in emission calculators (based on AP-42) used for estimating emissions from point or nonpoint sourcesCalculators prompt you for required information

#Accessing TEISS CalculatorsOption 1, From Estimate button in Reporting Period record

Use to import emissions for a source into your TEISS projectOption 2, From Calc button on TEISS ToolbarUse only to determine what activity data to collect for a source since emissions are not imported into TEISS project from here

#Calculator ScreensCalculator Search, shown after clicking on the Estimate button in Reporting Period recordCalculator for Refuse Combustion, click Calculate to estimate and import emissions

#Working with Search DialogsDrop-down boxType code and TEISS View will automatically find matchSelect from list by double-clicking highlighted selectionSearch boxClick on button and use Search function

To clear field, select blank entry located on top of listIf there is no blank entry, the field is mandatory

#NEI Export FunctionAccess NEI Export function bySelecting NEI button from toolbar Or NEI menu and then Export to NEIFollow steps specified in Case ProjectFile is stored as an XML fileNOT automatically submitted to NEIBe aware of validation options!

Inventory YearShows inventory year you are working onAdd new inventory year if collecting activity data for sources on reservation for a different year than NEI data#

Generating a New Inventory Year

Specify year and click NextNext screen has two options:Select Blank Inventory Year to start from scratchYear starts with empty Input View

Select Copy Data from Existing Inventory Year to update an existing Level 1, 2, or 3 EIUsed in Case ProjectNeed to specify what source categories to copy data from#Copy Existing Data

Specify Inventory Year to copy data from and click NextNext screen has two options:Copy Complete DataCopies all data, including emissionsUsed in Case Project

Copy Data SelectivelyEmissions are not copiedRecommended if TEISS calculators used to estimate emissionsNeed to specify what source categories to copy selectively from#New Inventory Year

Enter any notes on new inventory year and click NextClick Finish on next screenClick Yes to generate the new inventory year#Switching Inventory Year

After generating new inventory year, Inventory Years dialog box is shown again, but with new year includedWhen screen first opens, still in previous inventory yearCheck box next to new inventory year to switch to that year, then click Yes on message boxMake sure to do this before updating data

After closing Inventory Years dialog box, confirm new inventory year is displayed in TEISS

Point SourcesNonpoint SourcesMobile SourcesTotal EmissionsTEISS Reporting Functions#

Reports Example Filter ScreenExample, choose any number of Pollutants to report

Checks selected pollutant

Unchecks selected pollutant

Checks all pollutants on list

Unchecks all pollutants on list

Switches selection of pollutants#Reports: Emission Density Maps

Available for any reports with by Location in name

Accessed by clicking on Density Map tab

Shows different color shadings based on tons/square mile of pollutant

Could be used to compare pollutant emission levels in different counties#Reports: Total Emissions Time Series

For projects with multiple inventory years, each source type allows you to graph changes over time to analyze emission trends.These reports have Year in their names, by SCC/Year report is an example.#Reports: Total Emissions Time Series

There is an additional window in the filterAllows you to choose which years you want to graph.#Reports: Total Emissions Time Series

Example Time Series Graph#Homework due in 5 days:Complete Section 1 through Section 4 of the Case Project in the TEISS Training Course manualDo NOT complete Section 5 on importing NEI data that begins on page 53In Section 4 of the Case Project, you export the project data in the NEI formatZip the file that you generate in the NEI format in this section and email it to the instructors#
