The primary goals of this study are to: Develop comprehensive inventories of Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) increment consuming emissions for nitrogen oxides (NOx) in southwest Colorado; Develop meteorological fields as necessary for input to the Industrial Source Complex (ISC3) and CALPUFF models; Setup and run the ISC3 and CALPUFF models for appropriate near-field and far-field receptors, respectively; Compare modeled concentration...

Continuous monitoring systems (CMS) play an important role in the field of air pollution control. More specifically, these systems are often used as a tool to ensure that an emission unit is meeting an emission standard, or a set of emission standards on a continuous basis. There are several types of CMS that can accomplish this purpose. The type of CMS that is required on an emission unit is specified in the applicable regulation.
