AERMOD outputs numeric results with up to 13 significant figures. When emission rates are very high or very low, values may not fit within this default range. Concentration values at or above about 1E9 units can cause the output to render as a field of asterisks, indicating an overflow.
Concentrations near the default reporting threshold (1E-5) may yield repeating values such as 0.00000 or 0.00001, which reduces precision and can hinder contour generation in AERMOD View.

This research began in 2000 and continued until December 17, 2001, when the U.S. Court of Appeals issued a ruling in favor of the State of New Jersey. Lakes Environmental Software was hired, on a sole source basis, to develop unique Environmental Justice solutions. The American 1964 Civil Rights Act – Title VI mandates that all federal fund transfers be suspended from States that discriminate against race or ethnic groups. A lawsuit was brought against the State of New Jersey by a minor
An environmental management authority in a Caribbean nation recently implemented the Ambient Quality Management Information System (AQMIS) to modernize and centralize its approach to air quality monitoring and management. Designed as a comprehensive platform, AQMIS integrates multiple data streams, analytics, and visualization tools to provide a holistic view of air quality. The system includes several modules tailore
Client: Federal Regulatory Agency for Oil & Gas Management in the Gulf of Mexico
Challenge:
The agency responsible for overseeing oil and gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico needed a reliable, centralized web-based solution for managing, monitoring, and reporting emissions data resulting from oil and gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska. In addition, the agency required the
Background:
To manage and monitor air quality more effectively, a regional air quality management district, located in Southern California, implemented Lakes Environmental’s Ambient Quality Management Information System (AQMIS) starting in 2017. The system was designed to streamline the calculation of emissions, conduct risk prior
Alberta Environment is becoming a policy driven and outcomes focused ministry. A key factor in the success of this strategic shift is being able to effectively monitor and report on the state of the environment. The objective was to demonstrate that the department is achieving its desired environmental outcomes using a systems management approach.
Lakes Environmental Software developed Char View for the U.S. EPA to allow modelers to prepare site data, emissions, inventories, and air models quickly while avoiding common human errors in the projects.
CAC2003 offers complete multi-lingual support for the SPECIATE and FIRE profiles for criteria and hazardous air pollutants.
The State of Nevada faced pressures to meet an increasing number of regulatory requirements while their state continued to grow and develop. Several years ago, they saw value in centralizing and automating and decided to implement i-step. While the system helped with the centralizing and automation, it soon failed to keep up with the demands of the team as they enriched their strategies and goals.
Creating emissions inventory is the first step in conducting a risk assessment. Our tools evolved to correct source emissions reports and analyze data gaps. A complete description of these steps is presented below, employing the complex and large Texas Project Source Database inventory (PSDB).
