SUMMARY:Virtual Training: Compliance Assurance Monitoring (CAM) - PERM 204
DESCRIPTION:Click Here: NEW COURSE MATERIALS \nWHO SHOULD ATTEND: \nThis course is intended for intermediate stationary source permit engineers and inspectors. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nCompleting this course will gain a basic understanding of the general information associated with compliance assurance monitoring. Attendees will be able to perform regulatory reviews involving the following elements of CAM: \n\nEffect of Title V\nBackground of CAM\nPart 64 applicability\nException\nCAM monitoring design criteria\nSource\, district\, and EPA Roles\nQuality Improvement plan\n\nCOURSE DESCRIPTION: \nOn October 22\, 1997\, EPA promulgated the CAM rule\, 40 CFR part 64\, which addresses monitoring for certain emission units at major sources. The CAM rule\, which applies only to emission units with active control devices whose potential pre-control device emissions are at or above the major source thresholds\, requires the title V permit for these sources to contain monitoring sufficient to give a reasonable assurance of compliance with requirements applicable to the source and with all permit terms and conditions over the anticipated range of operation. Thus\, emission units with an approved CAM plan will require sufficient monitoring to satisfy the periodic monitoring requirement under title V and part 70. \nThe CAM rule generally will not require implementation of its requirements for most units subject to CAM until the first round of title V permit renewals\, which will generally be 5 years after initial permit issuance. Therefore\, until emission units become subject to the requirements of part 64\, the initial title V permit for major sources with units subject to Federal or SIP regulations will need to include periodic monitoring for these CAM units. \nCAM concepts like background\, 40 CFR part 64 (CAM) applicability\, who will be affected by CAM\, who is exempt from CAM\, CAM timing\, monitoring design criteria\, frequency of monitoring\, source\, District & EPA roles in evaluating CAM plans\, quality improvement plans will be discussed in this course. \nCOURSE DELIVERY: This is a virtual\, instructor-led training course. \nSPACE LIMITATION: Registration is limited to 40 attendees.  Air quality staff from the fifteen western states receive registration preference. \nREGISTRATION FEES: There are no registration fees for state\, local or tribal air quality agency staff. \nTO REGISTER: EPA’s AirKnowledge Website

SUMMARY:Virtual Training: Function of Common Air Pollution Control Devices
DESCRIPTION:Click here: COURSE MATERIALS \n  \nWHO SHOULD ATTEND \nThis is an introductory course designed for agency inspectors\, permit writers\, and regulation developers who have the responsibility to review air pollution control devices. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \nThis course is designed to give attendees a basic understanding of the different types and operating characteristics of air pollution control devices that are available for particulate matter\, volatile organic compounds\, carbon monoxide\, acid gases\, and hazardous air pollutants. Course topics include: \n\nBackground on ideal gas law and capture and control of air pollutants;\nParticulate controls\, including separators\, fabric filters\, scrubbers\, and electrostatic precipitators;\nVolatile organic compound controls\, including minimization\, oxidation\, condensation\, adsorption\, and absorption;\nCarbon monoxide controls\, including minimization\, catalysts\, and oxidation;\nAcid gas controls\, including prevention\, absorption\, and adsorption; and\nParametric monitoring of air pollution control equipment.\n\nCOURSE DELIVERY: This is a virtual\, instructor-led training course. \nSPACE LIMITATION: Registration is limited to 45 attendees.  Air quality staff from the fifteen western states receive registration preference. \nREGISTRATION FEES: There are no registration fees for state\, local or tribal air quality agency staff. \n  \nTO REGISTER: EPA’s AirKnowledge Website

SUMMARY:Virtual Training: AERMOD Air Quality Dispersion Modeling
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: This 2-day training course is not intended to produce modelers but rather to focus on atmospheric science principles\, model options\, and configurations\, as well as pre- and post-processing steps that ultimately determine the outcome of the modeling study.  The course will develop a solid understanding of regulatory air dispersion modeling fundamentals combined with the application of this knowledge toward solving real-world air quality challenges. Practical and real-world AERMOD examples will be utilized throughout the course to effectively demonstrate how these topics work together to influence model outcomes.  In addition\, hands-on training is incorporated throughout the training to reinforce concepts. \nThe intent of the course is to empower permit engineers and managers with the knowledge and real-world experience needed to quickly assess the validity of model selection\, configuration\, and results interpretation as related to specific regulatory programs. Emphasis is on explaining and demonstrating important modeling concepts that permit writers and managers must understand to make informed and defensible decisions during the permitting process to ensure the permit conditions meet regulatory requirements. \nCOURSE DELIVERY: This is a virtual\, instructor-led training course. \nSPACE LIMITATION: Registration is limited to 15 attendees.  Air quality staff from the fifteen western states receive registration preference. \nREGISTRATION FEES: There are no registration fees for state\, local or tribal air quality agency staff. \n  \nTO REGISTER: EPA’s AirKnowledge Website
