    Development of a Line Source Dispersion Model for Gaseous Pollutants by Incorporating Wind Shear Near the Ground Under Stable Atmospheric Conditions †

    Proceeding Paper Development of a Line Source Dispersion Model for Gaseous Pollutants by Incorporating Wind Shear near the Ground under Stable Atmospheric Conditions † Saisantosh Vamshi Harsha Madiraju and Ashok Kumar * The College of Engineering, The University of Toledo, Toledo, OH 43606, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-419-530-8136 † Presented at the 3rd International Electronic Conference on Atmospheric Sciences, 16–30 November 2020; Available online: https://ecas2020.sciforum.net/. Abstract: Transportation sources are a major contributor to air pollution in urban areas. The role of air quality modeling is vital in the formulation of air pollution control and management strategies. Many models have appeared in the literature to estimate near-field ground level concentrations from mobile sources moving on a highway. However, current models do not account explicitly for the effect of wind shear (magnitude) near the ground while computing the ground level concentra- tions near highways from mobile sources. This study presents an analytical model based on the solution of the convective-diffusion equation by incorporating the wind shear near the ground for gaseous pollutants. The model input includes emission rate, wind speed, wind direction, turbu- lence, and terrain features. The dispersion coefficients are based on the near field parameterization. The sensitivity of the model to compute ground level concentrations for different inputs is presented for three different downwind distances. In general, the model shows Type III sensitivity (i.e., the Citation: Madiraju, S.V.H.; Kumar, errors in the input will show a corresponding change in the computed ground level concentrations) A.

    2017 OKR05 Fact Sheet

    Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality Water Quality Division Reissuance of OPDES Multi-Sector General Permit OKR05 for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Industrial Activity within the State of Oklahoma Fact Sheet July 5, 2017 2017 OKR05 Fact Sheet Introduction The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is reissuing the OPDES Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) OKR05 for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity within the state of Oklahoma. This Permit will replace the 2011 OKR05 permit that expired on September 4, 2016. All existing and new facilities must obtain an Authorization under this new 2017 OKR05 permit in order to discharge stormwater associated with industrial activity. Under Section 402(p) of the Clean Water Act (CWA), the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated regulations (40 CFR § 122.26), known as the Phase I Stormwater Program, that established permit requirements for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity. On September 9, 1997, EPA delegated all the responsibility to DEQ to administer stormwater discharges associated with construction and industrial activities and from Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s). This delegation excluded facilities located on Indian Land, Oil & Gas Exploration fields, and Agricultural Services & Forestry. DEQ issued its first MSGP GP-00-01 on October 2, 2000. This Permit included provisions that industrial facilities in 29 different industrial sectors implement control measures and prepare site-specific Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3). In addition, the OKR05 permit included a 30th sector, available for DEQ to permit additional industrial activities that the DEQ determines require permit coverage for industrial stormwater discharges not included in the other 29 industrial sectors.

The annoyance The task to find out the best dependence of the equivalent produced by noise, in fact, can heavily influence the quality of human noise level from the vehicular flow and from other parameters life. Thus, a proper modeling of the source and of the propagation can has been pursued in many papers ([7-12] and references give important assistance to the noise prediction and thus to the urban planning and development design. In this paper, the authors approach therein). In this paper, the authors consider two experimental these issues by means of field measurements analysis, defining and sets of data taken contemporary in three different points, at evaluating a “degree of linearity” coefficient, related to the power four different distances from the road. Since the source during law of the source-receiver distance in the logarithmic propagation each measurement can be assumed to be the same for all the formula. This value is expected to be 10 in the linear scheme, i.e. the receivers, an interesting comparison between measured levels approach of several literature studies and regulation models, or 20 in can be performed. The distances difference can be used to test the point scheme. Plotting the results for this parameter in the two available sets of experimental data, the authors will corroborate the the dependence of the level from the source-receiver distance, linear hypothesis.
