AWMA - UMS

The Upper Midwest Section of the Air and Waste Management Association is hosting a PM2.5 workshop. This workshop covers the implementation of PM2.5 (fine particulate matter) New Source Review requirements promulgated by EPA on May 16, 2008, and will speak to the challenges that will be faced by industry and regulators as they seek to incorporate these requirements into their air permitting and compliance programs. The program will feature a webinar with EPA participants, plus local speakers, including an MPCA speaker explaining the latest on implementation of PM2.5 permitting requirements in Minnesota and a panel discussing dispersion PM2.5 modeling and source testing.
