by screening the potential increased N deposition to sensitive ecosystems. Smaller
farms are screened within two buffer zones of 300 and 1,000 m, while larger farms
are also screened outside these two buffer zones. The screening outcome is that a
permission is either granted or declined or that there is a setup requirement for a full
model assessment in a similar way as the English methodology by using a local-
scale dispersion model and known emissions from the planned livestock farm. The
Danish methodology is here based on the OML-DEP model [

] which
for regulatory purposes is operated within the DAMOS modelling system [

].
An example of detailed modelling from Denmark is shown in Fig.
