HARP Emission Inventory Module V2.0.6 is now available for download at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/toxics/harp/eim.htm. Changes made in this version include: 1. Updated CEIDARS database for CATEGORY, EIC, NAICS, and SCC tables. 2. Updated the user database for Facility tables and TempRSK table to fix an issue related to exporting blank fields saved in the data entry area. 3. Updated the health database by removing the health values of 27 pollutants that don’t apply to the Hot Spots Program. Please refer to the Version History for a list of the 27 pollutants with health values removed from the health database at: https://www.arb.ca.gov/toxics/harp/docs2/eimversionhistory.txt. 4. Added a warning message when Gas Temperature (GT) is not in the 50-2500F range (based on CEIDARS data dictionary) for a stack in the Release Information window. 5. Importing a HARP2 database will now copy the four *_WGS84 coordinates for facility, receptor, and stack tables. 6. Exporting building and property boundary data to a KML file will now handle special characters (<, >, &, “,”). 7. Fixed issues related to upgrading user database. When users open a project created prior to this version in EIM V2.0.6, users will be prompted to upgrade the databases. Just follow the onscreen instructions, HARP will automatically upgrade the databases. Note: Please uninstall the older version software before installing any of the above software. Although uninstalling HARP software would only remove HARP program files, we recommend backing up your data before uninstalling the software to prevent accidental data loss.

This document is available at the CAPCOA website www.capcoa.org. CAPCOA will be accepting comments through June 3, 2016. Based on comments submitted, CAPCOA may schedule workshops for further opportunities to comment. The Facility Prioritization Guidelines were developed by the Toxics and Risk Managers Committee (TARMAC) of CAPCOA in response to revisions to the State Office of Health Hazard Assessment’s (OEHHA) health risk assessment methodologies contained in the Air Toxics Hot Spots Program Risk Assessment Guidelines: Guidance Manual for the Preparation of Health Risk Assessments (February 2015). The purpose of the Risk Prioritization Guidelines document is to provide California air pollution control and air quality management districts with suggested procedures for use in prioritizing facilities into high, intermediate, and low priority categories as required by the Air Toxics "Hot Spots" Information and Assessment Act of 1987 (Air Toxics "Hot Spots" Act) in accordance with Health and Safety Code §44344.4(c). This law established a statewide program for inventory of air toxics emissions from individual facilities as well as requirements for risk assessment and public notification. Appendix A contains a copy of the Air Toxics "Hot Spots" Act. These guidelines were originally developed in 1990 and are being revised to incorporate the new health risk assessment methodologies determined by OEHHA in February 2015 http://oehha.ca.gov/air/hot_spots/2015/2015GuidanceManual.pdf. To allow districts to continue to use existing risk prioritization programs and related software, the 2015 updated prioritization guidelines were revised to incorporate revised carcinogenic normalization factors to account for the new methodologies. CAPCOA understands the existing approach has limitations and will evaluate the need to expand the prioritization guidelines to better address variations due to source types and changes in air dispersion modeling programs. The guidelines are available to those districts that choose to use them. However, there is no requirement that the districts use these specific guidelines. Furthermore, it should be recognized that any district may develop prioritization procedures other than those presented in these guidelines. It should be noted that any District that develops and utilizes its own prioritization guidelines must still provide public notification for any facility with a risk above the District’s notification threshold level that is at least as stringent as those required under the AB2588 (i.e. Health and Safety Code Sections 44300-44394).
