EDMS Microcomputer Pollution Model for Civilian Airports and Air Forces Bases: User's Guide Supplement A

Abstract

This supplement announces the incorporation of the latest aircraft emission database (EPA, 1992) and the latest motor vehicle database (Mobile 5a) into the Emissions and Dispersion Modeling System (EDMS). (The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 requires that the latest emission information be used to establish the Conformity of an airport improvement project with the State Implementation Plan.) This supplement also documents the following model enhancements: (1) an expansion of the emissions inventory portion of the model to accommodate ground support equipment and airport spray painting facilities; (2) the condensation of the emissions report into a one page printout; (3) the summarizing of calculated concentrations into hourly average time periods associated with each pollutant; (4) the access of the dispersion output file (disperse.out) directly from the menu; (5) the addition of a gridding algorithm designed to permit the entry of up to 200 receptors into the model; (6) the expansion of the example problem procedure to accommodate gridding.
