7-17 Air Dispersion Modeling Report
7-17 The diesel storage tank(s) is/are not included as an emission source for the Air Toxics modeling. Please explain why the TANKS program was not used to estimate emissions of speciated compounds from the ULSD storage tank(s) and included as an on-site emission source when using AERMOD.
RESPONSE 7-17
| The fugitive VOC emissions associated with the ULSD storage tanks were estimated using the TANKS program. The Air Dispersion Modeling Protocol submitted for the project, which was approved by RIDEM, did not include the ULSD tanks as a source to be included in the air toxics modeling because it is not expected that any temporary, intermittent, localized fugitive VOC emissions resulting from the use of the ULSD storage tanks would make a measurable contribution to any off-site ambient air impacts predicted from the project.
