Development of computerized emission projection and allocation system. Phase II. Comparison of existing systems
This report documents the second phase of a feasibility study to determine the need for a computerized emission projection and allocation (CEPA) system to assist state and local air pollution control agencies in conducting air quality analyses. The Phase II evaluation procedure is carried out on four existing air quality analysis systems: the Air Quality for Urban and Industrial Planning system (AQUIP), the Computer-Assisted Area Source Emission Gridding Procedure (CAASE), the Engineering-Science Air Quality system (ESAQ), and the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments model (MWCOG). The methodology involves a description of the CEPA requirements without reference to any existing systems, a comparison of existing packages to those requirements, an identification of deficiencies, an estimate of effort required to remove those deficiencies, an evaluation of the effort needed to develop an entirely new system, and an assessment of the potential savings to be realized by employing a CEPA system in place of manual procedures.
