CAMEO Patches

1. Startup problem in Windows 9x/ME

   "An error has occurred in your program. To keep working anyway, click Ignore and save your work in a new file. To quit this program, click Close. You will lose information you entered since your last save."

   This is followed by two buttons: Close and Ignore. Clicking Ignore will start CCC normally.

   To fix this problem permanently, download foxw2600.exe, and install it using the instructions in foxwccc.txt.

2. Startup problem in Windows NT/2000/XP

   When you try to start CCC in Windows NT, 2000 or XP, you receive an error message that includes the phrase "Divide by Zero or Overflow Error", and CAMEO will not start.

   Download and install foxw2600.exe using the instructions in foxwccc.txt.

CAMEO Windows Backup Kit

Frank Bovee of the EPA Region 10 office in Seattle and John Elkmann in the EPA Region 5 office in Chicago have updated and improved the CAMEO Backup Kit to work with CAMEO Windows 1.2 and 1.2.1. With their permission, we've posted it for others to use.

The kit download file is self-extracting and will install itself in your CAMEOWIN folder. Once you've installed it, use your Windows Explorer to look in your CAMEOWIN folder for a file named BACKHELP.TXT. It contains instructions for use of the kit.

Download the CAMEO Backup Kit.

Frank and John would like to keep track of users of the Backup Kit. So if you download it, pleae take a minute so to send Frank a message.

CAMEO and MARPLOT Tips and Information

• Lois Ristow of the Wisconsin Emergency Management prepared the documents listed below. She's done an excellent job of explaining basic CAMEO and MARPLOT operations.

  BEGINNER’S GUIDE for Using CAMEO to Create/Update EPCRA Off-Site Plans.

If you download these documents and have feedback on them (comments, questions or compliments) please let Lois know by sending her an e-mail.

• Here are some tips to help you get more out of MARPLOT. They're PDF files so you’ll need a copy of the Adobe Acrobat reader.

CAMEO Windows Report that Prints Comments

Here's a replacement for the Facility Address report file in CAMEO Windows. The report file that comes with CAMEO will not print the contents of the Planning and Comments fields. This replacement report will print them.

To install the file, download it to your \CAMEOWIN\REPORTS folder and double click on the file to extract its contents.

Download f1report.exe.

ALOHA Solution Release Spreadsheet

Lewis Blumstein of Excalibur Associates, Inc. in Colorado has prepared an Excel spreadsheet that can be used with ALOHA to calculate plume footprints for solutions. (Normally, ALOHA will only give results for pure chemicals.) With his permission, we've posted it for others to use.

Download the spreadsheet.

The spreadsheet is based upon the approach described in the publication: Modeling Hydrochloric Acid Evaporation in ALOHA, Report No. HAZMAT 93-3, by Mary Evans, dated 7/93. We encourage you to download and read the report if you intend to use the spreadsheet.

If you find the spreadsheet useful or just want to comment on it, e-mail Lewis Blumstein.

Solution Evaporation Calculator for use with ALOHA

NOAA has posted a new item on their web site. It is an on-line calculator that will allow you to calculate the evaporation rate from pools of certain aqueous solutions. Right now, the calculator works for the following: Aqueous Ammonia, Formaldehyde, Hydrochloric Acid, Hydrofluoric Acid, Nitric Acid, Oleum, and Sulfuric Acid.

To try the calculator, go to http://response.restoration.noaa.gov/cameo/evapcalc/evap.html.
