The various ~ehiculat emissions that are Candidate sites will be ranked with respect to potential .regulated include nitrogen oxides, particulates; non-methane hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. Therefore, percentage increase in exhaust emissions (nitrogen oxides, potential changes in emissions that could affect these pollutant levels are f}ie primary focus of this criterion. particulates; non-methane hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide emissions) from collection vehicles as Definition: Overall'percentageincrease irinitrogen oxides, particulates; hon-methane hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide computed using the additional haul distance measured from emissions resulting from collection vehicle hauling andbperation. the waste generation cehtreid to the proposed site..
