7-42 Health Risk Assessment Report (HRA), dated January 27, 2016

Section 4.1, More recent meteorological data is being used (2010-2014) within HRA rather than what was specified in HRAP (2007-2011). Please provide any RIDEM/Permitee correspondence relating to this change in model data.

RESPONSE 7-42

 

RIDEM’s July 27, 2015 letter conditionally approving the project’s Air Dispersion Modeling Protocol (attached) stated that “OAR’s pre-processed five years off-site meteorological data shall be used for air toxics modeling. Those data are provided by OAR.”  The more recent meteorological data subsequently provided by OAR was used for the air toxics modeling which formed the basis of the health risk assessment.
