Hi there, 

Looping in the mapping group. Also, there's a local group for NYC. Check out all the lists here: https://publiclab.org/lists

Hi All,
I'm brand new here to the GG for Public Lab, thanks for the forum and opportunity to post.

I'm currently involved in counter-mapping several Northeast pipeline projects in the Northeast and have been working to develop an independent method for air modeling specific to fracked gas compressors and power plants.

The typical scenario is run AERMOD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AERMOD), get permit.  But there's questions over the inputs to the models and how the results keep coming up no impact, or conveniently no impact where one might expect an impact to be.  Further, we know people are getting sick in close proximity to compressor stations, so from a health perspective there is indeed impact.

I would so appreciate having a conversation with anyone who has experience with AERMOD, or has any independent perspective on the limits of the program for predicting real air quality impacts from fracked gas transport infrastructure.

I teach GIS in NYC, and do spatial work.

Thanks so much for your consideration, and please feel to reach out to me.  Further, I would like to develop a NYSDEC EJ community grant in cooperation with some of the health study work that is starting to happen in NY State.  I have started laying groundwork for that and would welcome further perspectives.

Thanks!

Stephen Metts

Hey Stephen!!! Great to hear from you. Exciting to learn about AERMOD from you, i haven't worked with it before. 

Maybe someone on the airquality list has dealt with AERMOD? Maybe we can reach out through additional collegial networks to reach someone working with this technology? Seems to me like it's worth gaining an understanding of.
