Times: 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM (Eastern)

Location: Virtual (Online)

Instructors: Matt Haber, Eastern Research Group

Course Registration Link – Register by September 10, 2025

Who Should Attend: This course was designed to address the needs of tribal, state, and local air agency personnel involved in the permitting and compliance assessment of existing regulatory requirements as well as those personnel involved in the development of nitrogen oxide (NOx) control programs. This class is intended for new permit and compliance engineers and scientists who are responsible for permitting, compliance, and SIP planning activities.

About the Course: This course presents fundamental information on NOx emissions from combustion sources such as industrial and utility boilers. The goal of this course is to present information that will help environmental professionals address present and future NOx control issues. The course introduces a broad range of control technology topics and identifies some of the sources for obtaining further information on these topics.

Learning Objectives: Those completing this course will gain an understanding of the mechanisms by which NOx is formed in the combustion process as well as sources of NOx emissions and the history related to regulating NOx emissions from these sources. Attendees will be able to perform regulatory reviews involving the types, applicability, capability, and limitations of available control techniques to suppress the formation of NOx emissions or to minimize NOx emissions.

Course Delivery: This is a virtual, instructor-led training.

Times: 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM (Eastern)

Location: Virtual (Online)

Instructors: Matt Haber (Eastern Research Group)

Course Registration Link – Register by August 14, 2025

Who Should Attend: This course is designed for semi-experienced stationary source permit engineers, inspectors, regulatory agency staff, and environmental specialists in government.

About the Course: Students who complete the course should be able to:

  • Determine the type(s) of permits that apply, based on an application
  • Determine if an application is complete
  • Create a comprehensive, enforceable permit, based on the application, agency technical analysis and applicable regulations.
  • Create a permit that can be understood by all stakeholders, and is more likely to withstand appeals.

Learning Objectives: Students who complete the course will gain knowledge on the following topics:

  • Legal foundations for permit issuance
  • Different types of Federal and State permits, including NSR and Title V
  • Completeness determinations
  • Potential to emit
  • Setting emissions limits
  • Setting monitoring requirements

Course Delivery: This is a virtual, instructor-led training.

Training: Compliance Assurance Monitoring (PERM204) https://www.ladco.org/training-compliance-assurance-monitoring/ Thu, 25 Apr 2024 17:44:28 +0000 https://www.ladco.org/?p=10623 Date: November 21, 2024

Times: 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM (Central)

Location: Virtual (Online)

Instructors: Mohsen Nazemi and Carl Daly (New Solutions)

Course Registration Link – Register by November 14, 2024

Who Should Attend: This course is intended for intermediate stationary source permit engineers and inspectors.

About the Course: This one-day course provides an overview of the compliance assurance monitoring (CAM). The CAM rule, which applies only to emission units with active control devices
with potential emissions that are at or above the major source thresholds, requires the title V permit
for these sources to contain monitoring sufficient to give a reasonable assurance of compliance with requirements applicable to the source and with all permit terms and conditions over the anticipated range of operation. Thus, emission units with an approved CAM plan will require sufficient monitoring to satisfy the periodic monitoring requirement under Title V and part 70.

The CAM rule generally will not require implementation of its requirements for most units subject to CAM until the first round of Title V permit renewals, which will generally be 5 years after initial permit issuance. Therefore, until emission units become subject to the requirements of part 64, the initial Title V permit for major sources with units subject to Federal or SIP regulations will need to include periodic monitoring for these CAM units.

Learning Objectives: After completion of this course, learners will be able to explain key aspects of CAM, including

  • Title V operating permits program
  • CAM rule
  • Part64 applicability
  • Who will be affected by CAM
  • Who is exempt from CAM
  • CAM timing
  • Monitoring design criteria

Course Delivery: This is a virtual, instructor-led training.
