OSTI ID:6181636

This guideline document was prepared to describe the actions that must be taken by State and local air pollution control agencies to develop SIPs that demonstrate attainment and maintenance of the PM10 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). The guideline describes how to: (1) demonstrate attainment of the PM10 NAAQS; (2) determine the size of an area exceeding the NAAQS; (3) select a receptor or dispersion model; (4) prepare an emission inventory; and (5) determine a control strategy design concentration. The guideline also discusses ambient PM10 monitoring requirements and data usage and EPA's policies for making the transition from a SIP designed to protect total suspended particulates (TSP) standards to one designed to protect PM10 standards.
