Technical Support Document
for the Clear Skies Act 2003 - Air Quality Modeling Analyses
(PDF 1.6MB) -
This document describes the procedures and results of the air quality
modeling analyses used to quantify the impacts and benefits of the
Clear Skies Act (CSA) of 2003. The air quality model applications
include episodic regional scale ozone modeling for the Eastern U.S.
and annual particulate matter (PM), visibility, and deposition modeling
on a continental scale covering the 48 contiguous States. The document
includes a description of the ozone and PM modeling systems, the
time periods modeled, the Base Year model performance evaluations,
and the results of the future Base Case and Control Case model simulations.
