we are considering to develope the SUSTAIN model adding some new functions. the officia website on USEPA applied the source code of its interface and simulation engine, but it's an extension tool based on arcgis 9.3.1, we have no idea to use the dll files, got from source code, with arcgis platform.
asking for help sincerely, by a rookie.
moreover, is there any possibility to transplant this model to newer version of arcgis 10.x, that could be a "big" project which USEPA was not willing to do.
Hope these is helpful.

I think SUSTAIN Was developed by a private company on behalf of the US EPA and you might be able to get specific information about modifications from them.
The SUSTAIN manual refers to the company as follows:
Tetra Tech, Inc.
10306 Eaton Place, Suite 340
Fairfax, VA 22030
And the authors on the manual included:
Leslie Shoemaker, Ph.D.
John Riverson Jr.
Khalid Alvi
Jenny X. Zhen, Ph.D., P.E.
Sabu Paul, Ph.D., P.E.
Teresa Rafi
If you can find a contact for any of these folk on researchgate, Linkedin, or elsewhere, you may get a response? I was able to talk to some people at Tetra Tech back in 2013 or so about using SUSTAIN so they may still be open to discuss how easy it might be to port the model to ArcMap 10, and/or modify functions?
