The authors prepared the air quality impact analysis on behalf of Caesars Hotel/Casino for their recently constructed transportation center in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Carbon monoxide (i.e. CO) concentration levels were estimated for both present and future time horizons in close proximity to the proposed facility utilizing the CALINE 3 air quality dispersion model as a predictive tool. Because of unrealistic conservative input requirements to the model mandated by the reviewing agency, marginal CO levels were projected when viewed versus the Ambient Air Quality Standards (AAQS) for CO in New Jersey. Subsequent direct monitoring of CO levels after operations began in the facility confirmed more realistic projectio
