What’s happening now...

Thanks to all those folks who stopped by to visit us at the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality’s Environmental Trade Fair on May 4-5, 2010.

The Air & Waste Management Association’s 103rd Annual Conference and Exhibition (ACE) will be held in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on June 22-25 and Oris will be there. Look for us at booth 421. Stop by and leave your business card because we’ll be raffling a free copy of BEEST, our most popular software package, among other neat prizes! For more information about the ACE, go to http://www.awma.org/ACE2010/.

NAAQS updates:
- Version 1.2 of NO2Post was recently released. This version allows users to also post-process 1-hour NO2 concentrations from the ISCST3 and ISC3-Prime models. NO2Post is free to download for all BEEST users currently in maintenance. Non-BEEST users may purchase NO2Post on our BEE-Line website.

- In a survey of 37 State air agencies, 12 indicated that they would accept the use of NO2Post, 7 wanted to "look under the hood" of it before deciding, and 7 are in a "wait and see" mode (pending results of 2010 EPA/States modeling workshop). 11 States have not responded; none of the States have indicated that they would disallow the use of NO2Post.

- In June, EPA is scheduled to promulgate a new 1-hour sulfur dioxide (SO2) NAAQS. The new standard becomes effective 60 days after being signed by the Administrator. For more information, see http://www.epa.gov/air/sulfurdioxide/pdfs/20091116factsheet.pdf.
