- Passive Monitoring
- Environmental Permitting
- Air Quality Modeling
- Dispersion Modeling. Air Quality Unit offers comprehensive Air Quality Impact Assessment using the EPA approved AERMOD and CALPUFF modeling systems. CALPUFF is required for determining reasonable impacts of long-range transport and dispersion from point sources, as well as applications involving complex wind regimes. AERMOD is required for impacts within a 50 kilometer radius of the point source. We offer modeling projects associated with coal-fired power plants and combustion turbine permits, as well as permit revisions resulting in the removal of imposed operational limitations.
- Photochemical Models. According to EPA, these models are typically used in regulatory or policy assessments to simulate the impacts from all sources by estimating pollutant concentrations and deposition of both inert and chemically reactive pollutants over large spatial scales.
- Receptor Modeling. These models are observational techniques that use the chemical and physical characteristics of gases and particles measured at source and receptor to both identify the presence of and to quantify source contributions to receptor concentrations.
