A tool of this type facilitates the model evaluation proos but completion of the table does not asure that the optimum simulation model of thou available will be selected, nor that the model (or models) ultimately chosen by the applicant will be acceptable to the Regulatory staff. Alternatively, the applicant may devise other acceptable approximations to the interaction of a thermal discharge with the environment; this guide should not be construed as advocating the exclusive use of mathematical models. The Model Assessment Table (MAT) (Exhibit I) is organized relative to the four principal types of characteristics pertinent to thermal discharge mathematical modeling: S Dischar9e Characteristics Receiving Water Characteristics
