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:Advanced Inspector Training (NACT355)
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: The Advanced Inspector Training Course focuses on issues and techniques for the more senior inspector to help enhance and improve their inspection techniques and results. This course does not focus on any specific media but covers subject applicable to inspections in all media. The course is intended to provide additional tools to obtain information before\, during\, and after an inspection. The course will present “best practices” for conducting inspections and give the students an opportunity to discuss how these “best practices” apply or not to their own inspections. Each class will have the opportunity to discuss and evaluate specific issues or areas of interest to them. \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
