SUMMARY:Continuous Monitoring Systems (SRCE 103)
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: The one-day classroom Introduction to Continuous Monitoring Systems (CMS) Course provides participants with a basic understanding of CMS. It provides an overview of key concepts and information on CMS\, including purpose and uses\, types\, systems design and components\, regulations\, audits/inspections\, and enforcement procedures. \nTARGET AUDIENCE: This course is intended for a broad audience and could include participants with non-technical backgrounds (e.g.\, a basic degree in science) as well as technical backgrounds (e.g.\, a chemical engineering degree). This course is an introductory course for CMS\, therefore\, no prior knowledge of CMS is presumed. This course is intended primarily for new hires or any participants who need a basic understanding of CMS in their job responsibilities. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon completing this course\, learners will gain a basic understanding of Continuous Monitoring Systems (CMS). They will be able to use the knowledge gained on the following topics to assess the accuracy of CMS data and the ongoing compliance of sources monitored by CMS: \n\nTypes and purposes of CMS\nReview of regulatory basis for CMS\nOverview of enforcement aspects for CMS\nUnderstand the purpose of CMS and different types and uses of CMS\nIdentify the regulations that contain CMS requirements\nRecognize enforcement aspects of CMS\n\nCourse Brochure \nTo register log onto EPA’s AirKnowledge

SUMMARY:Incinerators (TOXC 222)
DESCRIPTION:COURSE 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 with a permitted incinerator. \nTARGET AUDIENCE: This course is intended for new\, entry-level as well as semi-experienced stationary source permit engineers\, inspectors\, regulatory agency staff\, and environmental specialists in business and government. The course is designed to provide an overview of incinerators (control devices). \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: Those completing this course will gain a basic understanding of the general information associated with incinerators operations. Attendees will be able to perform regulatory reviews involving the following elements of incinerators: The 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\nCourse Brochure \nTo register log onto EPA’s AirKnowledge

SUMMARY:Fugitive Dust (PLAN 252)
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course presents a comprehensive overview of fugitive dust emissions and controls. The course includes the how\, what\, where and health impacts of particulate matter and the problem that fugitive dust presents. The course also discusses the rules and regulations that have been adopted by some agencies to control fugitive dust and the methods that are used to determine compliance with and/or violations of these regulations. \nTARGET AUDIENCE: Planning and rulemaking staff who may be dealing with statewide or regional particulate matter rule development or attainment issues or who are developing responses to site-specific fugitive dust emissions. Also permit writers and inspectors dealing with operations that generate fugitive dust\, such as construction activities\, aggregate\, concrete\, cement\, asphalt and mining operations and activities with vehicle traffic on unpaved surfaces. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: After completion of this one-day course\, learners will be able to understand how fugitive dust is determined and regulated and explain fugitive dust control in the context of the following topics: \n\nHealth effects of particulate matter (PM10) pollution\nFugitive dust sources\nDust control measures\nFugitive dust rules and regulations\nDust control plans\nVisible dust emissions and test methods\n\nSPACE LIMITATION: Registration is limited to 30 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.  For federal employees the registration fees are $100. \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
