This document provides a technical description and user's instructions for the Fugitive Dust Model (FDM). FDM is a computerized Gaussian-plume air quality dispersion model, specifically designed for estimation of concentrations and deposition impacts from fugitive dust sources. The sources may be point, line, or area sources. FDM employs an advanced gradient-transfer particle deposition algorithm. Gravitational settling velocity and deposition velocity are calculated by FDM for each of up to 20 user-specified particle size classes. Descriptions of three performance evaluations of FDM and the EPA Industrial Source Complex model are included in an appendix. Also included with the manual is a floppy diskette containing FORTRAN source codes, PC executable codes, and test data sets.
