7-21 Air Dispersion Modeling Report

Receptor Grid

7-21     Figure 6 Receptor Grid displays a receptor layout that includes polar grid receptor array and what appear to be discrete receptors placed along a boundary line.  However, the boundary line presented in Figure 6 is not consistent with either the “Proposed Property Line” nor the “40’-0” Setback From Property Line” displayed on Figure 2 Site Layout.  This inconsistency in the location of the boundary receptors shown on Figure 6 is also apparent when compared to the hatched area on Figure 4 Topographic Map and the outlined area on Figure 5 Surrounding Land Use (3 km).  Please explain/clarify.

RESPONSE 7-21

 

CREC’s proposed property line has changed since the air modeling report was submitted to RIDEM as the project design and layout have been optimized to minimize impacts.  The attached Site Arrangement figure shows the revised proposed facility property line which has been submitted to and is currently under review by the Town of Burrillville Planning Board. 

 

The property line changes will not impact the results of the air modeling results submitted to RIDEM because the modeled impact values presented in the modeling summary tables, which are the values required to demonstrate compliance, were at receptors located beyond both the original and the revised facility property lines.
