The Problem
XYZ Company wants to obtain a permit to operate a chemical plant in a rural area. The
effluent from the facility (SO ) is released to the atmosphere through two stacks. A 2
building is located close to the stacks. Parameters for the two sources are described in
Table 8A-1 below. Please note that this is only a description of the problem. DO NOT
START the tutorial project yet.

We will model the impact from the chemical plant emissions to the atmosphere to
determine if they produce a significant impact for SO and to get an idea ...
