PROPERTY LAW

Nuisance is the most widely used form of common law actionconcerning the environment. Public nuisance involves unreasonabinterference with a right, such as the right to clean air, commoto the general public.

STATUTORY LAW

Federal statutory law controlling air pollution began with the 1963 and 1967 Clean

Acts. Although these laws provided broad clean air goals and research money, they

did not apply air pollution controls throughout the entire United States, but only in

particularly dirty communities. In 1970 the Clean Air Act was amended to cover the

entire United States, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was crea

to promulgate clean air regulations and to enforce the Act. In 1977, provisions wer

added to the Clean Air Act to protect very clean areas (protection against signific

deterioration), to enforce against areas that were not in compliance, and to extethe compliance dates for automobile emission standards.

FAAs Airport Air Quality Model:Aviation Sectors Tool for Analysis ofCriteria and Hazardous Pollutants

ABSTRACT

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires the use of the Emissions and

Dispersion Modeling System (EDMS) for air quality analyses of airport emission sour

(63FR18068)1

. Such an analysis may include an emissions inventory and/or a dispersion

analysis for both aviation and non-aviation sources at the airport. The FAA consider

aviation sources to include aircraft, auxiliary power units and ground supportequipment.

EDMS also offers the capability to model other airport emission sources that are no

aviation-specific, such as power plants, fuel storage tanks and ground access vehic

WHAT DOES EDMS DO?

EDMS is a multiple emissions source model that calculates totalairport emissions that

vary both in space and time. The four dimensional approach allowfor airport emissions

to be dispersed for compliance demonstrations with local andnational ambient air quality

standards.

CONCLUSIONS

FAA is committed to building a comprehensive environmental tool for the aviationsector

that relies on advanced algorithms and supported by the latest scientific knowledg

AEDT/EDMS5.1 marks a significant advancement in airport emissions modeling thro

multiple technical and user flexibility enhancements. These include improved airc

PM and HAPs estimation methods, the ability to dynamically compute aircraft

trajectories with their corresponding fuel burn and emissions, a sophisticated airpoconfiguration capability, and the flexibility to model multiple airports, scenarios, a

analysis years within the same study.
