SUMMARY:Continuous Monitoring Systems (SRCE 104) -- In-Person Training
DESCRIPTION:COURSE BROCHURE \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION \nThe Continuous Monitoring Systems (CMS) training course is 3 days and in-person.  It provides participants with a basic understanding of CMS including an overview of how to perform regulatory reviews and includes key concepts\, terminology\, techniques\, and information on CMS\, including types\, regulations\, analytical techniques\, systems design and components\, performance specifications (PS)\, quality assurance (QA) requirements\, commonly used technologies\, audits/inspections\, and enforcement procedures. In addition to the instructor presentation and lecture\, participants have opportunities to apply their knowledge through practical exercises\, facilitated discussions\, and knowledge check games. \nThere are four modules in this course and an introductory module: \n\nCourse Introduction\nModule 1: Introduction to CMS\nModule 2: Overview of CMS and CMS Design and Components\nModule 3: Performance Specifications\, Quality Assurance\, and Commonly Used Technologies\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE \nThis 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). No prior knowledge of CMS is presumed. This course is intended primarily for new hires or any participants who need an understanding of CMS in their job responsibilities. \nStaff who could benefit from the course include\, but are not limited to the following: \n\nStaff who are inspection and/or enforcement personnel\nStaff who observe stack test and CMS certifications\nStaff who are reviewing audit reports\nStaff who work on permits\n\nTo Register click: EPA’s AirKnowledge \nCourse Materials

SUMMARY:Air Quality Dispersion Modeling - Pearl City
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. \n  \nTo REGISTER contact Jeff Gabler: 503-744-0486
