I am writing a permit for a company and they have wood chip storage piles sitting outside. The wood is fairly wet, 40% moisture or so. Does anyone know of a good source of information to determine the fugitive particulate emissions from wind erosion acting on the piles? The only part of AP-42 that is even close is section 13.2.5, but I don't have the means of determining the values required for is use. Does anyone know of a reference, or even another forum that is more environmental/permitting engineering related?
