The directories where the growth and controls files should be stored are listed in Table 8.5, “Growth and Controls Input File Locations”. The table also lists the programs that use each input file.
SMOKE uses growth and control packets to get the information needed for growth and control of emissions. A packet is a group of inputs used to apply specific types of controls. A single control file containing a series of packets can be shared by area, mobile, and point sources and the packets that do not apply to a given source category will be ignored. The following packets are recognized by the SMOKE control programs:
/ALLOWABLE/ contains county-specific, SIC-specific, SCC-specific controls, caps, and replacement emissions. Contributes to the multiplicative control matrix. Section 8.6.1.1, “/ALLOWABLE/ Packet”
/CONTROL/ contains settings for control efficiency, rule effectiveness, and rule penetration. Contributes to the multiplicative control matrix. Section 8.6.1.2, “/CONTROL/ Packet”
/CTG/ contains settings for CTG, MACT, and RACT controls. Contributes to the multiplicative control matrix. Section 8.6.1.3, “/CTG/ Packet”
/MACT/ contains settings to support the primary MACT controls needed for toxics processing. Contributes to the multiplicative control matrix. Section 8.6.1.4, “/MACT/ Packet”
/PROJECTION/ contains settings to permit growth of emission values into the past or future. Creates a growth matrix for each pollutant and/or activity. Section 8.6.1.5, “/PROJECTION/ Packet”
/REACTIVITY/ contains settings needed for reactivity-based controls. Creates the reactivity control matrix. Section 8.6.1.6, “/REACTIVITY/ Packet”
The formats for these packets are described in the section below. All of the packets are list-directed.
The format of the /ALLOWABLE/ packet is shown in Table 8.44, “Format for /ALLOWABLE/ packet in GCNTL”.
