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.
