This paper discusses the importance of an appropriate determination of net air quality impact for easing regulatory review requirements in cases of plant expansion permitting, emission rate relaxations, emission bubble strategies, and inter-source emissions trading schemes. The paper discusses the importance of focusing on the net air quality impact of an emission alteration (single or multi-plant), rather than merely the impact of any new emissions themselves. A simple modeling technique is described for assessing net impact. This technique accounts for the interacting, and often offsetting, air quality effects associated with various engineering changes and changes in emission rate which may be entailed in an alteration. This paper is addressed not only to air quality modelers but also to air pollution control engineers, attorneys, and others who are involved in the interface between the technical and regulatory aspects of review programs for emission source alterations.
