This report describes a dispersion model analysis of the air quality impact of emissions from the existing and proposed sulfur dioxide (SO2) sources in the Port Angeles, Washington area. The existing SO2 sources are the Crown Zellerbach and ITT Rayonier Pulp Mills and the proposed sources are the tankers involved in the Northern Tier Pipeline Company (NTPC) project. The specific objectives of the study described in this report were to: (1) determine, for the existing sources, the attainment status of the Port Angeles area with respect to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for SO2; (2) evaluate the effects of various emission control strategies for the existing sources if Port Angeles is found to be a non-attainment area for the NAAQS; (3) determine Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Increment consumption of the proposed NTPC sources in Class I and Class II PSD areas; and, (4) determine if the proposed NTPC sources will cause any area that currently is an attainment area for the NAAQS to become a non-attainment area.
