Drift is easily miscalculated if one only follows the EPA-42 (or is it 142) formula.  That formula really is wrong as TDS gets into higher levels, as at the higher residual TDS, there is no way a particle of 10 microns will be formed.  Thus the PM10 calculation is completely erroneous.  Drift will be represented by the limiting cycles of concentration of the tower.
