• Abstract:
  This report describes an investigation of state-of-the-art models for predicting the impact on air quality of additions or changes to a highway system identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a "non-attainment area" for air quality standards, and identifies one, CALINE4, as a potentially useful tool to the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities. Alaska currently has two cities, Anchorage and Fairbanks, where non-attainment of carbon monoxide standards are identified during winter periods. Based on this report and other investigations, the time is considered appropriate for implementing an air quality modeling capability into the routine operations of the Department's Environmental Sections of the Divisions of Design and Construction.
