Description
Description
Students will become familiar with selected theories of dispersion as employed in current regulatory modeling
practice; and become familiar with EPA's preferred technical options. Students will be able to apply a number of
models for point, area, and line sources. They will have use of personal computers and modem connections to EPA's Support Center for Regulatory Models (SCRAM) Bulletin Board System (BBS), to complete examples, exercises, and assignments.
Who Should Attend
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for individuals who have a basic understanding of atmospheric physics and the structure of
air dispersion models. This class is intended for air quality professionals involved with analyzing dispersion
modeling data and determining the results with regards to the requirements in permit applications and/or
requirements associated with SIP and State Only compliance analyses or future Air Quality Planning.
Objectives
Leaning Objectives
Students successfully completing this course will be able to select dispersion models appropriate to particular
problems in air quality impact analysis, apply recommended models, and judge the validity of the models' output.
Those completing this course will have an understanding of the following dispersion modeling topics:
• Dispersion parameters
• Plume rise
• Meteorological data
• Executing specific models for selected scenarios
• Selecting the appropriate air quality model
• Special meteorological situations and model options
• Modeling complex terrain situations
• Modeling hazardous/toxic pollutants
• Forum on air quality modeling issues
• EPA's &Guideline on Air Quality Models & and SCRAM BBS
Pre-Requisites
Pre-Requisites
Successful completion of APTI courses SI:409 – Basic Air Pollution Meteorology and SI:410 – Introduction to
Dispersion Modeling, or equivalent courses/experience. Ability to use a personal computer for scientific
applications.
