Air Dispersion Modeling<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Air dispersion modeling is often a critical part to obtaining an air permit for new projects planned at industrial facilities.\u00a0 With the U.S.EPA\u2019s recent establishment of short-term National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for NO2<\/sub>, SO2<\/sub> and PM2.5<\/sub>, modeling for compliance demonstrations has grown to be even more challenging and complex.\u00a0 TRICORD has a dedicated group of individuals, including a degreed meteorologist, who work predominately on air dispersion modeling in support of permitting projects.\u00a0 In addition, many of our technical and regulatory specialists who help manage our client\u2019s NSR permitting projects have a broad understanding of air dispersion modeling principles that helps augment communications on all modeling projects between our modelers and our client\u2019s project team.<\/p>\n

Our modelers have a diverse set of project experience and often work closely with state meteorologists while also staying attune to the latest updates to EPA\u2019s 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix W \u2013 \u201cGuideline on Air Quality Models.\u201d\u00a0 This experience and provision helps our modeling team provide strategic modeling solutions when needed on projects.<\/p>\n

We most often conduct screening models such as SCREEN3 or AERSCREEN and refined air dispersion modeling using AERMOD in support of NSR permits for demonstrations of compliance with NAAQS or for a health impacts review for toxic air pollutants.\u00a0 The following is a list of all modeling services TRICORD provides:<\/p>\n
