August 2011


What’s happening now... You can still catch A&WMA’s Understanding Today’s Clean Air Act Permit Programs. It will be held October 5–6 in Indianapolis. You can find the details here. Just a reminder—the 10^th Conference on Air Quality Models is set for October 27–28 in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Rumor has it that EPA will be releasing draft PM2.5 permit modeling guidance prior to the conference. Look for details regarding the conference and the draft PM2.5 guidance to be announced on the EPA SCRAM website. Although it’s only August, we’re already planning our classes for 2012. If you have any preferences for where next year’s AERMOD Modeling for Permits and Practical CalPuff classes should be held, please drop us a line at info@oris-solutions.com.
