THE MAMMOTH LAKE ROUTE 203 TRANSPORTATION PROJECT: A CASE STUDY IN AIR QUALITY MODELING AND MITIGATION. FINAL REPORT

An evaluation is made of the effects on carbon monoxide concentrations of transportation improvements incorporated in the Route 203 highway project. This includes a comparison of preconstruction and postconstruction field sampling studies. The performance of the CALINE4 air quality model is evaluated for use in complex terrain. The report describes the problems encountered in applying the model to mountainous locations, the tracer release study used for assessing model performance, and the model verification analysis.
