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.

SUMMARY:Incinerators (TOXC222)
DESCRIPTION:Incinerators (TOXC220): \nCourse Description: This course will focus on the process\, emission control equipment and inspection procedures of small to medium sized solid waste incinerators. The types of incinerators include biomedical\, pathological\, crematories and commercial heat stripping ovens. This course does not address municipal waste combustors\, biomass or hazardous waste incinerators. There is an afternoon field visit where students will receive first-hand experience during a mock inspection of a local business \nThe following topics will be covered in this course: \n\n3 T’s of combustion\nTypes of combustion\nCategories of Industrial Incinerators\nTypical Incinerator Operating Procedures\nTypical Operational Errors\nIncinerator Emissions & Control\nIncinerator Inspection\nAir Pollution Control Points of Inspection\n\nTarget Audience: This course is intended for entry-level staff. \nWESTAR’s funding and mission limit attendance at WESTAR’s educational opportunities to staff from government air pollution control agencies. \nCourse Brochure \nTo REGISTER log onto EPA AirKnowledge

SUMMARY:Compliance Assurance Monitoring (PERM204)
DESCRIPTION:Course Description: Those completing this course will gain a basic understanding of the general information associated with compliance assurance monitoring. CAM 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. \nAttendees 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\nTarget Audience: This course is intended for entry-level staff. \nWESTAR’s funding and mission limit attendance at WESTAR’s educational opportunities to staff from government air pollution control agencies. \nCourse Brochure \nTo REGISTER log onto EPA’s AirKnowledge

SUMMARY: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. \nWESTAR’s funding and mission limit attendance at WESTAR’s educational opportunities to staff from government air pollution control agencies. \nCourse Brochure \nTo REGISTER log onto EPA’s AirKnowledge
