06/2000 Completion of Version 1 of the AgDRIFT pesticide spray drift model. Delivered to Office of Pesticide Programs. The AgDRIFT pesticide spray drift model with new algorithms for stream deposition assessment, orchard airblast and ground spraying screening algorithms, and a completed user manual has been completed and delivered to the Office of Pesticide Programs for use in registration of new pesticide products. The Cooperative Research and Development Agreement between EPA and the Pesticide Industry's Spray Drift Task Force was concluded successfully with the development of AgDRIFT and extensive data bases on spray drift and deposition.

10/2002 - The first CMAS User's Workshop was held in the EPA RTP offices. There were 121
participants, 47 presentations, and 3 training courses. EPA participation included 13 presentations
and the keynote address by Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation, Jeff Holmstead. Extended
abstracts were made available on compact disks and on the Internet.

03/2003 - NARSTO PM Assessment Final Report
Person responsible: Jeffrey West
05/2003 - EPA and CMAS collaborated in transitioning releases of CMAQ model versions to CMAS on
the CMAS Internet web site (www.cmascenter.org), now located at the University of North Carolina,
Carolina Environmental Program.
