ETL/EPA workshop on open burning/open detonation (OB/OD). Held in Boulder, Colorado on February 15-16, 1995. Technical memo
A Workshop sponsored by the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) and EPA was convened in Boulder, Colorado to discuss regulations and procedures that do apply to OB-OD and to discuss potential problems and solutions regarding these methods of destruction. Workshop participants endorsed an enhanced Gaussian puff model using local, recent meteorological input data from a mobile atmospheric observing platform (MAOP), and the characteristics of the model and the observing system comprised the major recommendations of the Workshop. The Workshop emphasized the urgent need for a more accurate characterization of the source, including the amount and nature of materials released, and spatial distribution fo the material, the heat released, the noise created, and other relevant quantities. Participants also discussed emerging technologies and capabilities that may be available during the next 3 to 5 years, that could facilitate greatly the ability to address the OB/OD problem.
