The goal for this report was to examine current municipal solid waste (MSW) management infrastructure of Davenport, Iowa and provide scenarios with resilience, sustainability, and equity considerations in mind. The City of Davenport, Iowa was selected as the project site through ...

Across the U.S., some individuals and communities are more susceptible to disproportionate harm from climate change due to differences in exposure and vulnerability to climate hazards. This report investigates the projected risks of climate change to socially vulnerable populatio...

This report documents the sources of data, assumptions and analyses used to derive onroad emission rates for vehicle brake/tire wear PM2.5 and PM10. This update also includes a re-analysis of HC and CO exhaust emissions for “pre-Tier 2”, MY2000 and later, vehicles. New data are ...

Vehicle evaporative emissions are now modeled in EPA’s MOVES according to physical processes, permeation, tank vapor venting, liquid leaks, and refueling emissions. With this update, the following improvements are being incorporated into MOVES evaporative emissions methodology, a...

This report updates MOVES methods for evaluating current HD diesel NOx emission rates based on comparisons to independent data from EPA’s IUVP and Houston drayage programs. The report also details methods/assumptions made for HD gasoline HC, CO and NOx emission rates using reduct...

This report describes the sources and derivation for on-road vehicle population and activity information and associated adjustments as stored in the MOVES2014 default databases. Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator, the MOVES2014 model, is a set of modeling tools for estimating emiss...

Technical report for MOVES3

Technical report for MOVES Control of Air Pollution from New Motor Vehicles: Heavy-Duty Engine and Vehicle Standards NPRM. Note: The report documents linked below refer to Cleaner Trucks Initiative (CTI), which was a previous naming convention for the Control of Air Pollution fr...

This report documents changes to assumptions about the US national highway vehicle fleet population and activity data for the next version of the MOVES model. Fleet population and activity data is used to convert emission rates into emission inventory values and then is used to ...

Updated running exhaust gaseous emission rates (THC, CO, NOx, CO2) for heavy-duty diesel trucks model year 2010 and later based on portable emission measurements from the manufacturer-run, heavy-duty in-use testing (HDIUT) program. Updated cold start emission rates and soak adjus...

Updated methane, non-methane organic gas, and volatile organic compound calculations based on speciation data. Updated speciation and toxic emission rates for new model year 2010 and later heavy-duty diesel engines. Updated particulate matter emission rates for 2004 and later mod...

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) created this document to help existing and planned school communities identify strategies for reducing traffic-related pollution exposure at schools located downwind from heavily traveled roadways (such as highways), along corridors ...

Solid wastes produced in today’s society originate from a myriad of sources, including households, government, businesses, and industry. Current U.S. federal regulations for solid waste management have been developed to promote sound management of these wastes in a manner protect...

The report provides results using the Leaching Environmental Assessment Framework (LEAF) to illustrate how pH-dependence and percolation are related for a material being widely used in Puerto Rico for structural fill, road base, and other applications. Eluate concentrations from...

Report and Appendices

Recommendations for external partners planting roadside vegetation. Intended for broad use, but immediate use will be to provide to project partners on the RESES roadside vegetation project and as an attachment to the RESES project QAPP

This report summarizes the results of next generation air monitor (NGAM) volatile organic compound (VOC) evaluations performed using both laboratory as well as field scale settings. These evaluations focused on challenging lower cost (<$2500) NGAM technologies to either controlle...

PFCAs are found in a variety of consumer products, including, but not limited to, treated clothing and textiles, floor care products, paper containers for food, and carpets. For example, carpet that has been treated with stain-protection, carpet-care solutions, either by the manu...

Dust suppressant products used to control particulate emissions from unpaved roads are among the technologies evaluated by the Air Pollution Control Technology (APCT) Verification Center, part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Environmental Technology Verification (ET...
