This application is designed to provide the reviewer information on plant-wide total emissions and emissions from each source.
Total emissions are verified by checking emissions from each source and are used to classify the plant into the appropriate
categories for PSD, NSPS, etc. If your facility is a Title V facility, you may submit annual emissions inventory data in lieu of
this form if the inventory is current and contains all the information requested in this form. Additional information may be

Instructions: Supplemental forms B & E are used by the reviewer to become familiar with the
emission unit. Completion of Form M is intended to assist applicants in determining whether or not
point source emissions associated with non-PSD construction permit projects will require an air
dispersion modeling analysis. Modeling requirements for non-point source emissions will be
determined on a case-by-case basis. This procedure is used for both new construction permit projects
and for modifications to previous projects.

DISPERSIONMODELINGDETERMINATION
Completion of Form M is intended to assist applicants in determining whether or not point source emissions associated with nonPSD
construction permit projects will require an air dispersion modeling analysis. Modeling requirements for nonpoint source emissions will be
determined on a casebycase basis. This procedure is used for both new construction permit projects and for modifications to previous
projects.
This form reflects the Polk County Air Quality Division’s (AQD) Air Dispersion Modeling Applicability Procedure for NonPSD construction
permit applications. Please check the appropriate box below depending on whether the flow chart indicates that dispersion modeling is
requiredornot.
Note:ALLprojectsmustincludeasiteplan;seesectionPLOTPLANREQUIREMENTSforinstructions. Ascaledplotplanoftheentireplantis
required.Attachtheplotplan,labeledas"MIPP",withyourpermitapplication.
Note: Form M only applies to point source emissions and should not be applied to internally venting vol
ume sources. Internally vented
sourceswillbeaddressedonacasebycasebasis.
DISPERSIONMODELINGANALYSISISNOTREQUIRED
Since the point source emissions in this application meet the criteria currently listed in the Air Dispersion Modeling Applicability
Procedure,itislikelythatmodeling isnotrequired.

When dispersion modeling is required, the modeling analysis is either conducted by the Polk County AQD or is submitted by the
applicantforPolkCountyAQDreviewasnotedbelow:
All applicants have the option to prepare and submit a complete dispersion modeling analysis, subject to review by the Polk
CountyAQD.
