The report presents the results of a program to develop methodologies for the inventory of emissions from nonautomotive vehicular sources, which are applicable in all areas of California; and using these methods, compile an inventory of emissions for 1977 for the four counties comprising the South Coast Air Basin. In this study, nonautomotive vehicular sources were defined as construction equipment, farm vehicles, industrial vehicles, and small boats. The general approach was to determine total annual fuel consumption by vehicle type, then multiply each total by the appropriate EPA emission factors. For construction equipment, the method is based upon the level of construction activity, miles of roadway constructed, and human population. For farm vehicles, the method is based upon the annual number of harvested acres of each type of crop. For industrial vehicles, the method is based upon the vehicle population and usage factors. Boats are separated into pleasure and commercial categories, with usage and fuel consumption factors for each group.
