Description

An air quality modelling assessment is usually undertaken as part of the approval process to understand the impact of industrial activity on the surrounding ambient air. The Air Quality Model Guideline provides guidance on the appropriate modelling to be undertaken in Alberta when one of these assessments are required. Also included are three companion documents. The first provides clarification on interpreting modelling results for typical emission scenarios, when required by the guideline. The second provides a companion spreadsheet for determining whether or not the modelling terrain is considered complex as per Section 3.0 of the guideline. The third provides stakeholder comments to the original draft guideline [2020] and Environment and Parks response to these comments.

Description

This guideline provides detailed guidance on suitable methods and approaches that should be used to assess air quality from emission sources. It sets out the statutory authority, an overview of the approach, guidance on appropriate technical methods and the information required to demonstrate that a source meets the Alberta Ambient Air Quality Objectives. It is not intended to provide a technical description of the theory behind air quality modelling - such information is widely available in other published documents, and references are provided within the text.

Description

STI uses a general framework for performing network evaluations as described in the US EPA's network evaluation guidance document. The steps in the framework are 1. examining the sites and monitoring objectives, 2. developing a conceptual model of network strengths and weaknesses, 3. testing the conceptual model by performing analyses, 4. developing recommendations for modifying the network, 5. taking other technical and non-technical considerations into account and 6. implementing changes to the monitoring network. This document describes the first four steps of the network evaluation; after considering additional political, jurisdictional and budget issues, the local, regional and provincial stakeholders are responsible for deciding what changes to the network are implemented.
