Texas Air Quality Training (AQ201)
About Texas AQ201
About Texas AQ201Texas Air Quality 201 (AQ201) Training provides a comprehensive and foundational background of the history of Texas air regulations and its various regulatory programs. The program covers many of the 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) air chapters including visible emissions, particulate matter, sulfur compounds, volatile organic compounds, and nitrogen compounds. Texas emissions inventory requirements are discussed as well as the Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP). We dive into construction (PBR, Standard Permits, NSR – case-by-case) and operating permit (Title V) requirements. Other components of permitting are also covered ranging from monitoring to BACT and LAER. Modeling requirements in Texas (NAAQS, state property line, and MERA) are also detailed over two sessions. The program addresses topics that are encountered day to day by facility environmental personnel.
Texas AQ201 can be taken alone or with AQ101. AQ101 is suggested as a prerequisite or to accompany AQ201, however those with a working knowledge of the air quality field may not need to take AQ101 prior to AQ201.
Texas AQ201 is training for those seeking to establish and further their understanding of air quality obligations in Texas that impact regulated facilities on a day to day basis. The topics covered by AQ201 will be encountered by environmental personnel in their real world projects. Unlike other air quality training programs, AQ201 is delivered via twelve 30-minute webinar sessions, so no out of facility time is required for participation.
Numerous professional designations require continuing education/professional development. Upon request, ALL4 will present a certificate identifying ALL4’s Texas Air Quality 201 as 6 hours of continuing education/professional development. Many states and professional organizations accept continuing education hours/professional development hours for license/certification renewal purposes. To ensure acceptability in each personal situation, please check with the requirements of your State Board/Professional Organization.
Currently, Texas AQ201 is available as previously recorded videos.
