The Permits Branch issues new permits and permit modifications
to existing facilities after reviewing and evaluating permit applications for administrative
and technical completeness and ensuring that each application meets regulatory adequacy.
The permit is written to meet state and federal regulations to include information
on which pollutants are being released, how much may be released, and what kinds
of steps the source's owner or operator is taking to reduce pollution. All permits
will include a mechanism to demonstrate compliance with the permit conditions.

Screening Modeling Protocol (PDF).
Modeling done by ADEQ, Air Division Permit Branch staff in review of permit applications is generally limited to screening models to determine if additional refined modeling by the facility is necessary. This document is to outline the general procedure for such a screening analysis. In addition, general instructions for running AERMOD are attached that clarify some other issues.
In order to assist regulated facilities and the public with screening modeling, the Air Division has preprocessed National Weather Service data for Little Rock, Fort Smith and Shreveport, LA. This data may be used with the screening model protocol and can be downloaded for free from ADEQ's
ftp site. The files are utilized by AERMOD. This is not to be used for PSD permits or other complex modeling situation without prior Department approval.
NOTE: Recent changes to AERMET (v11059) have changed the way met data is processed and used by AERMOD. The Department updated these met files on the website June 8, 2011.
