• Abstract:
  This report examines the performance of the source strength model presented in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency publication AP-42, Supplement 5 relative to field data gathered during the AIRPOL project and relative to the previous source strength model, AP-42, Supplement 2. The report demonstrates that the Supplement 5 model can be expected to produce "worst case" emission estimates on the order of 1.6 to 2.1 times those of Supplement 2 for typical Virginia applications. Since it appears that Virginia will be required to implement the Supplement 5 model, it is recommended that (1) operation phase input data be accurately determined on a project-by-project basis, (2) "worst case" type analyses be realistically conceived, and (3) the Department request that the FHWA and EPA justify the twofold increase in emission estimates of Supplement 5 over Supplement 2.
