Text description of figure
Tier 3 assessment of local impacts
1. Consult regional council
2a. Estimate traffic data (+ projections)
- Traffic monitoring
- Traffic modelling
2b. Estimate fleet composite emission factors
- Fleet model or local monitoring to characterise fleet
- Emission factor model
- Estimate projects - 10 to 20 years
3. Results in emissions estimate for the proposed project.
4. Dispersion modelling
- Background air quality and local meteorology
- Location of receptors
- Local topographic features
5. Exposure estimate
6. Assessment of the potential effects by comparison with air quality criteria
- Mitigation where necessary, and start process of consulting with regional council (step 1) again.
- Health risk assessment where necessary
