"We've convened a faculty of nationally recognized A&WMA-member experts on Clean Air Act permitting, and put the information environmental professionals need to know in an approachable, manageable format."
"Understanding Today's Clean Air Act Permit Programs" will kick off March 1-2, 2011 at the Intercontinental New Orleans Hotel in New Orleans, LA. New Orleans workshop faculty include: Gary McCutcheon, Principal, RTP Environmental; Ken Weiss, Principal and Managing Partner, Global Air Practice, ERM; Gale Hoffnagle, Senior Vice President and Technical Director, TRC Environmental Corp.; and John Paul, Administrator, Regional Air Pollution Control Agency, Dayton, OH and Co-Chair, National Association of Clean Air Agencies, NSR Committee.
The agenda will offer discussion and hands-on training on permitting under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards, New Source Review, PM2.5, the 8-hour Ozone Standard and the Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule. In addition, regional air quality experts will provide information on how changes in the Clean Air Act specifically impact the area surrounding each workshop site.
