Purpose: Project Eagle-ALOHA modifies the existing model, Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres (ALOHA) version 5, to include estimation of fire and explosive hazards related to accidental spills of flammable chemicals under certain scenarios. Following the philosophy of ALOHA, the new version reflects a compromise between complexity of the model and ease of use. Only information easily available to the first responder is required and output is designed to provide a conservative and simple graphic estimate. The additional scenarios are: Staffing: • pool fire • BLEVE (boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion) • flare (jet fire) • flammable or explosive vapor cloud CAMEO/ALOHA Program Mark Miller, Carl Childs Project co-managers Jerry Muhasky, Bill Lehr Software development Jon Reinsch, Gennady Kachook Algorithm development Debra Simecek-Beatty, Robert Jones Questions and bug reports: software and interface Jerry.Muhasky@noaa,gov algorithms Bill.Lehr@noaa.gov model access Mark.W.Miller@noaa.gov Project Team Credentials: Jerry Muhasky has a Ph. D. in Mathematics and has more than ten years experience in design of large environmental software programs. Dr. Muhasky is the lead programmer for ALOHA version 5. Bill Lehr has a Ph. D. in Physics and has over twenty years experience in software model development in the environmental field. Dr. Lehr was lead scientist for the source strength component of ALOHA, version 5. Jon Reinsch is an experienced software developer and was lead programmer for the NOAA/EPA RMPCOMP project. Gennady Kachook is an experienced programmer and has worked on several environmental modeling programs. Debra Simecek-Beatty is an environmental modeling specialist and has worked on several large modeling projects. Dr. Robert Jones has a Ph. D. in Chemistry and has been lead researcher on many ALOHA updates. External Review Team: James Belke Environmental Protection Agency Don Ermak Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory 3
