In preparation for the Beta B release of the Client Tool, the latest version of the XML schema has been released. In draft version 6.0, there are only minor changes to the monitoring plan and QA schemas. However, the emission schema contains two significant changes.
Two elements were removed from the emissions schema. First, DiluentCapIndicator has been removed from DerivedHourlyValueData complex element. This indicator is unnecessary because the use of a diluent cap for NOXR should be indicated by reporting a value of 14 for the MODCCode element. Also, diluent cap can no longer be reported for CO2 and heat input. The second element removed was the MultipleFuelFlag in the HourlyOperatingData complex element. This was removed because it is redundant. The use of multiple fuels can be determined from the data in HourlyFuelFlowData.
Because of these two changes, emissions XML files which imported into the Beta A version of the Client Tool will not import into the Beta B version. Changes to the programs that generate emissions XML files must be made in order to produce XML files that will import into the Beta B version of the Client Tool.
The new schemas along with the schema description documents, the documents which note the changes from the previous version, and example XML files can be found here on the ECMPS Beta Testing Web site or here at the EPA Web site.
