APPLICATION OF MODELS FOR SIP ATTAINMENT TEST andNEW SOURCE REVIEW Denis Lohman EPA Region 3 February 20, 2008
Consistency • Objective • Demonstrate attainment and maintenance of NAAQS • Accuracy • Replicability • Time • Space
SIP Attainment • Demonstrate performance of model • Baseline emissions • Estimate baseline air quality • Calculate future air quality • Project future emissions • Project future air quality • RRF = Future ÷ Baseline • Multiply Design Concentrations by RRF to Estimate Future Design Concentration
New Source Review • No modeling in nonattainment areas • Attainment Areas • Allowable Emissions • Add background • Cause/contribute to violations? • Interim Guidance – Use PM10 program as surrogate for PM2.5
O3, PM, RH Guidance Receptor oriented Actual emissions Many sources NAA IC/BC Relative results Design Site Test Appendix W Source oriented Allowable emissions Few sources SIA +Background Absolute results Ambient Air Test SIP versus NSR
