SUMMARY:Monitoring Compliance Testing & Source Test Observation
DESCRIPTION:WESTAR’s Training Center will host this training course for state\, local and tribal air quality professional staff working\, or planning to work\, in source testing. \nThis lecture-based course is designed for state\, local and tribal air quality professional whose role is to observe source testing\, evaluate source test methods\, approve test protocols and review source test results as required under various federal and state regulations or as required by issued permits. This class is intended for compliance and field engineers\, scientists and technicians who have responsibility for the above source testing tasks. \nThose completing this course will gain a basic understanding of the general information associated with source testing and source test methods. This course develops the ability to plan\, guide\, evaluate\, and (after experience on the job) perform source sampling measurements to determine rates of emissions from stationary sources. It clarifies EPA Reference Methods 1 to 4\, and Method 5. The course develops knowledge of the equipment employed\, understanding of why the prescribed methods are established\, and ability to perform the calibrations and calculations which are a part of the reference methods. \nTo ensure that the source test methods utilized to demonstrate compliance are performed according to EPA guidelines\, both agency and industrial personnel will be required to observe stack tests to document that compliance with the methodology is being achieved. This will mean that an observer must be intimately familiar with numerous stack test methods\, each one with its own particular operation.
