This international symposium will provide a technical forum for environmental professionals to share experiences with the revisions to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Guideline on Air Quality Models. Since the Guideline is required for use in the preparation of State Implementation Plans, Federal construction permits and many State permits, the technical and regulatory issues are of concern to source owners, regulatory agencies, consultants and the general public. In addition, special emphasis will be placed on the applications of the Federal Land Managers Guidance (FLAG) on air quality model use for Air Quality Related Values (AQRV). Courses on CALPUFF, AERMOD and PRIME will precede the Conference.
EPA has adopted AERMOD (with Prime) and CALPUFF as the refined models for most applications and simultaneously proposed the deletion of ISC. Since ISC has been the workhorse of regulatory modeling for almost 20 years, this represents a considerable change in the way modeling will be done.
Papers are invited in the following areas:
AERMOD
- Experiences running AERMOD
- Comparisons of AERMOD to other models
- Comparisons of AERMOD to field data
- AERMOD theory and application
- Modifications to AERMOD
AERMOD-PRIME

- Comparisons of AERMOD-PRIME to other models
- Comparisons of AERMOD-PRIME to field data
- AERMOD-PRIME theory and application
- Modifications to AERMOD-PRIME
CALPUFF

- Comparisons of CALPUFF to other models
- Comparisons of CALPUFF to field data
