The Air Permitting Program has revised Technical Manual (TM) 1002, “Guideline on Air Quality Impact Analysis.”  The prior version of TM 1002 was issued in August, 1997.   The revisions were necessary based on the current air quality models being used and modifications made to reference materials.

TM 1002 is principally for source operations required to conduct an air quality impact analysis pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:27-8.5 “Air Quality Impact Analysis” and N.J.A.C. 7:27-22.8 “Air Quality Simulation Modeling and Risk Assessment.”

The Notice of Availability of Revised Technical Manual 1002, “Guideline on Air Quality Impact Modeling Analysis,” will be published in the January 10, 2010 New Jersey Register.  The revised manual is available at the Department’s web site: http://www.state.nj.us/dep/aqpp/techman.html
