What do elected boards need to help make decisions?
n Assurance that “sound science” was used to identify the cause of the problem
n Evidence that the proposed solution will be effective
n Knowledge that stakeholder concerns, including scientific ones, have been addressed

What do Board members dislike about science in the regulatory process?n The time required to complete
research – results too laten Making decisions when substantial
uncertainty remainsn Worst case – faulty conclusions result
in adopting costly regulation that provides little or no benefits to public health (or the opposite)

CAFO Emission Issuesn Need process based emission factors
o Identify each emission point
o Identify processes and conditions allowing ammonia to volatize
o Identify environmental factors and management practices that cause emissions to vary
n Cross media impacts
o Ensure measures that reduce air emissions do not increase water contamination
![Page 13: NADP Ammonia Workshop Washington, DC October 23, 2003nadp.slh.wisc.edu/nh4ws/Mitchell/Mitchell.pdf · 3 1 Resolution n Ammonia measurements most convincing evidence of excess n Weight](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071102/5fdc374041423c1c0972f05c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

CAFO Control Issuesn Percentage of ammonia volatized
immediately after urine hits the groundn Does limiting nitrogen content of feed
impact animal productivity?
n Keeping ammonia in solution during cleanup of wet manure
n Lagoon water pH control – does this just delay release?
n Is indoor composting of manure really feasible on a large scale?

Aerosol Modeling Issues
n Attempted UAM-Aero modeling for 2003 PM10 Plan
n Calif. Regional Particulate Air Quality Study (CRPAQS) data not available for modeling
n Used IMS-95 dataset with much lower PM10 and nitrate episodes than 2001
n Results were mixed

Major Features of Carrying Capacity Diagramsn Up to 50% precursor reductions
o Least responsive to VOC reductionso Rural sites are NOx limited
o Response is nearly linearn Beyond 50% precursor reductions
o Sites behave as expectedo Response not linear

Is NH3 limitation at Bakersfield real?n Emissions
o Significant amount of NOxemissions in area
o No large sources of NH3(inventory not verified)

Questions Raised by the Resultsn Is the ammonia inventory understating
emissions from a source in areas showing a deficiency?
n Is the model inaccurately depicting the atmospheric chemistry?
n Do both the inventory and model have critical flaws?
n What causes the non-linearity of NOx to nitrate formation?
n What happens at 100 µg/m3 nitrate?

Resolutionn Ammonia measurements most convincing
evidence of excessn Weight of evidence supports NOx only
control strategyn Used 1.5/1 NOx/nitrate ratio in rollbackn CRPAQS final reports due in 2005n Ammonia inventory improvements for
CAFOs underwayn 2005 PM10 Plan update, PM2.5 and regional
haze plans will revisit this issuen Is the San Joaquin Valley ready for
ammonia control? - no
