Greetings!
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has completed
draft revisions to its current modeling guidance and is providing you with an
opportunity to provide input on the proposed revisions. The draft version of the
proposed revisions is found on the MPCA
website.
The changes to the guidance include a new process for addressing
non-standard modeling practices, the Equivalent or Better Dispersion method,
and a refinement of the approach used to select a representative monitor for
developing a background concentration. The MPCA will take your written comments
until July 11, 2014. Your thoughts are very important to the development of
modeling practice in Minnesota.
You may provide your written comments to the MPCA in a
number of ways. First, you can fill out this survey. The survey link
provides four open-ended questions pertaining to the modeling guidance
revisions and is provided for your convenience.
The second means of providing commenting is to submit your thoughts
to the MPCA by emailing them directly at airmodeling.pca@state.mn.us.
A third way to offer comments as well as see the new
proposed working practices is to attend the MPCA Air Quality Dispersion
Modeling Guidance: Modeling Practice & Experience Information Session on
July 1, 2014, from 1:00pm to 4:00pm, in Training Room 2 at the MPCA’s Saint
Paul Office. If you would like to attend the meeting, please RSVP to airmodeling.pca@state.mn.us. A
complete agenda will be provided on the MPCA website.
Thank your for your time and attention! We look forward to
hearing from you and also seeing you on July 1st!
Best Regards,
MPCA
