Extractions: Air Dispersion Modeling SoftWright is pleased to assist you in providing topographic elevation data that can be supplied to popular air dispersion modeling software. Typically, a study in a region is first done by identifying a specific location and evaluating out to a distance of approximately 50 km from that location with receptor grid spacing at a course setting such as 1000 meters. When the impact area has been located, the study is rerun in a smaller area with the receptor grid spacing tightened up to more accurately display the level of contamination in the impact area. This type of iterative process is repeated over smaller geographic areas and with tighter receptor grid spacing until contaminant levels are ascertained. In addition to software necessary to do this modeling, generally two other things are required if terrain data is necessary for your model. First of all you must acquire DEMs for the geographic region where you need to perform the study. These can be supplied in several resolutions and numerous file formats . Many of the air dispersion modeling software packages do not read the DEMs directly, but rely on an intermediate software package to create an ASCII data file containing the actual input information for the air dispersion modeling software. These files typically contain details calculated from input provided by you about the area for your study and receptor spacing.

Extractions: Air Dispersion Modeling C ond ucting the Accident Analyses Via Dispersion Modeling for Risk Management Plans Required by EPA - Sullivan Environmental performed accident analysis modeling for a mining operation, several drinking water and waste-water facilities within a township, and modeling of chemical manufacturing facilities. T he analyses were done using the RiskManPro model developed by Sullivan Environmental that produces the emission estimates, source characteristics (including source temperature), and resulted in the modeling of outdoor air quality and expected ranges in indoor air quality at selected locations around each facility. In most cases, the analysis involved hypothetical accident scenarios for pressurized tanks, such as for liquid chlorine, ammonia, etc. D ispersion Modeling Experts for Development of State Implementation Plan for particulate (PM10 ) impacts in Allegheny Coutny, Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh) - Sullivan Environmental was retained by Allegheny County, Pennsylvania as air quality experts to assist their staff in the preparation of a State Implementation Plan (SIP) to control particulate emissions from coke oven operations. The industrial facility that was a key component of this SIP was located in complex terrain, with maximum impacts occurring on a nearby hillside. Support provided by Sullivan Environmental included conducted field studies on meteorological conditions in the region, the expansion of meteorological monitoring capability along the valley floor, and the development of software to integrate two EPA dispersion models in order to properly account for the substantial lift of the plumes from coke oven operations. The SIP was approved by EPA based on the model-based analysis conducted by the County.

Extractions: Pollutants and Standards The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set forth standards for a set of pollutants that it refers to as the criteria pollutants. These standards are referred to as the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and were promulgated to protect human health and welfare with an adequate margin of safety. The criteria pollutants include: Carbon Monoxide (CO) Air Quality Impact Modeling For many facilities, a critical step in the permitting process is the air quality modeling analysis. These types of analyses use computer models to assess the potential impact of a facility on air quality. These models, which were developed by the EPA, use a complex set of data inputs to predict a conservatively estimated air quality impact for the facility of interest. Inputs to these models include information about the facility itself, representative meteorological data, and the topography of the area surrounding the facility. Using this information, these models predict the expected concentration of the pollutants associated with the operation of the facility in question. Modeled pollutant concentrations are then compared with the NAAQS and/or applicable toxic air pollutant standards.

Extractions: Stone Lions Environmental Corporation is currently developing software to aid in the evaluation of air dispersion modeling results. A software program that allows the user to quickly compare the results of two Industrial Source Complex (ISC) model runs is due to be released early in 1997. Given two different ISC concentration tables, this program quickly calculates the difference in concentration (or deposition) at each receptor and gives the user both a table of differences and a graphic display which can be superimposed on a basemap. This program will be a valuable tool for anyone who wishes to evaluate differences in modeling results due to changes in source parameters, emission rates, meteorology, etc. For more information please e-mail to mgruber@stonelions.com or call Mark Gruber at (310) 377-6677.

Extractions: Dawn Kerns, Junior Scientist Minnesota Department of Agriculture The objectives of this project are to: 1. Evaluate three air dispersion models for predicting near field transport of hydrogen sulfide and odor from livestock and poultry buildings by comparing model results with field measurements, and 2. Measure ammonia emissions from typical swine, dairy, and poultry facilities in cold and spring weather. Air dispersion models are being used to recommend set back distances for livestock and poultry facilities. Additional data is needed to improve model results. Hydrogen sulfide and odor emissions will be measured from three animal facilities. This data will be used as inputs to three air dispersion models to calculate downwind concentrations and odor intensities. MDA Single Point Monitors and trained field sniffers will be used to collect data to compare with air dispersion model results. Ammonia emissions from livestock and poultry facilities are gaining attention because of the potential impact these emissions have on the environment. European researchers have documented a wide range of ammonia emission rates from different types of buildings in different geographic locations. Little ammonia emission data is available for livestock and poultry facilities in the United States. For this project, ammonia emissions from three livestock and poultry buildings will be measured continuously for a two-week period in winter and early summer 2001 using a Chemiluminescence Ambient Ammonia Analyzer (Thermo Environmental Instruments Inc.). Building ventilation rates will be determined by using a carbon dioxide balance method.

Project Description Air dispersion models are being used to recommend set-back distances for livestock and poultry facilities. Additional data is needed to improve model results. In this project hydrogen sulfide and odor emissions were measured from three animal facilities. Measurements of downwind concentrations of hydrogen sulfide were made using MDA Single Point Monitors. Downwind odor measurements were conducted using trained field sniffers. The results of the downwind measurements will be compared to the emission measurements and modeling results.
