Conference Information
TABLE OF CONTENTS
WELCOME FROM THE A&WMA PRESIDENT
Welcome to the 109th Annual Conference of the Air & Waste Management
Association!
This is an exciting event for the A&WMA and is the best opportunity to show what
we are all about as an organization. There are outstanding panel sessions, technical presentations, learning opportunities, and networking events for everyone.
A huge thank you goes out to Bill Palermo, General Conference Chair, and all
the members of the Local Host Committee and A&WMA Headquarters Staff.
They have been working for well over a year on this event and to make certain
all of the attendees have a productive and engaging experience. We also owe
a thank you to our Technical Council which has been incredibly busy with
coordinating sessions and presentations for all of us throughout the event.
Best wishes,
For those of you who are long time attendees thank you for coming one more
time. For those of you who are new, we hope you see something you like and
choose to return in the future.
Brad Waldron
A&WMA President
When you see me at the event, please stop and introduce yourself and tell me how
you are enjoying the conference. I am anxious to meet as many of you as possible!
2 Final Program
From the General Conference Chair and Vice-Chair
The Air & Waste Management Association’s (A&WMA)
Annual Conference and Exhibition returns to New Orleans
for the first time since 2006. It is with great pleasure that
we welcome you back to the Crescent City, the tourist
and convention mecca of the South. From museums to
restaurants, to world-famous festivals, there is no place
quite like New Orleans. Situated on a crescent-shaped
bend of the Mississippi River 100 miles from its mouth,
New Orleans is the largest city in Louisiana, with a population of about 350,000. Named for the Duke of Orleans,
who served as Regent for Louis XV for eight years, New
Orleans was founded by the French, governed for 40 years
by the Spanish, and bought by the United States in the
1803 Louisiana Purchase. While you are here, we invite
you to discover all the great things our city has to offer.
Follow your instincts to the local shops and boutiques
on Magazine Street. Follow your curiosity to the oaks
and lagoons in City Park. Follow your rhythm to live
music on Frenchman Street and beyond. Whether you
are new to our city or here for another visit, there’s no
shortage of things to discover.
Not to be missed is the National World War II Museum
(formerly known as the National D-Day Museum), which
is the Number 1 attraction in the city. Other “must see”
attractions in the city are the Aquarium of the Americas
and the Audubon Zoological Gardens of the Audubon
Nature Institute.
New Orleans works as hard as it plays, and it is rapidly
becoming one of the best places to do business in the
South. Home to one of the world’s largest ports, a thriving
central business district, tax incentives and a creative
spirit, more companies are making their home in this
area. New Orleans has a diverse economy with the
main sectors being the oil and gas industry, shipbuilding,
tourism, and aerospace manufacturing. Some of the
largest companies in New Orleans include Ochsner
Health System, Tulane University, Northrup Grumman,
Entergy Corporation, Lockheed Martin, and Superior
Energy Services.
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina unsuccessfully attempted to
deliver a knock-out punch to our city. Those who attended
A&WMA’s 99th Annual Conference and Exhibition in
June 2006, the first major event held in New Orleans in
the aftermath of Katrina, were witness to the early stages
of a monumental comeback from that near disaster.
Now, 10 years later, at the 109th Annual Conference and
Exhibition, you will have the opportunity to experience
the renaissance that occurred in that short 10-year period.
New Orleans has become one of the fastest growing
cities in the nation. Our technical program and minisymposium will unmask the industrial renaissance that
has taken place during this same period of time.
Finally, of course, no discussion of New Orleans would
be complete without mentioning food. Begin your epicurean adventure in the French Quarter with a breakfast
stop at Café Du Monde for an order of beignets and a
cup of steaming café au lait, an experience that dates
to 1862. New Orleans' restaurants are world-renowned
for quality, service, and excellence. Whether you elect
to visit one of the “old-line” favorites that date back to
the 1800s, one of the many newly established boutique
eateries, or one of the unique neighborhood cafes or
sandwich shops, you are in store for an experience that
is hard to duplicate anywhere else in the world.
Your Local Host Committee and A&WMA’s Louisiana
Section are extremely pleased to host this year’s conference
in New Orleans and excited that it will be held in the newly
renovated and state-of-the-art Hyatt Regency New
Orleans. We have planned a full schedule of technical
presentations, professional development activities, panel
discussions, technical tours, and fun activities. We are
glad you are here and hope you enjoy your stay.
Laissez les bon temps rouler!

GENERAL INFORMATION
46TH ANNUAL CRITICAL REVIEW
Sponsored by AECOM
Emissions from Oil and Gas Operations in the
United States and Their Air Quality Implications
economic benefits, the environmental impacts associated
with ‘‘fracking’’ for oil and gas have made it controversial.
By David T. Allen, Ph.D.
Department of Chemical Engineering,
University of Texas at Austin
The production and utilization of oil and gas from shale
resources has multiple environmental impacts, including
impacts on land, water, and air. The 46th Annual A&WMA
Critical Review will focus on the air quality implications of
the production and use of oil and gas from shale formations.
Three types of air pollutants will be considered: greenhouse
gases, air toxics, and photochemical air pollutants and their
precursors. The Review will examine the changes in the
magnitude and spatial distribution of emissions from oil and
gas production activities, as well as changes in the magnitude
and spatial distribution of emissions from sectors that are
the largest users of the shale oil and gas. For users of
shale oil and gas, the primary focus will be on large industrial
sectors that are being transformed most dramatically, specifically electricity generation and chemical manufacturing.
Tuesday, June 21 • 9:00 am – 11:45 am
Empire Ballroom BCD
The energy supply infrastructure in the United States has
been changing dramatically over the past decade. Increased
production of oil and natural gas, particularly from shale
resources using horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing,
made the United States the world’s largest producer of oil
in 2014. The U.S. Energy Information Administration has
projected that increased domestic production of oil and gas
will persist for decades and that the United States may
become a net energy exporter over the next two decades.
While the availability of abundant, lower cost, and domestically sourced oil and natural gas has had significant
As emissions from oil and gas production and use have
been changing, so have the tools available for measuring
emissions. New, highly sensitive, high time resolution
instruments have been developed and deployed in the past
several years, providing new insights into the emissions
from oil and gas production, processing and transmission,
and use. Findings from these studies will be reviewed, and
new insights will be described. One significant finding is
that many source categories in oil and gas production,
processing and transmission include “super-emitters”. This
phenomenon, and the challenges it presents, are analogous
to the well-known problem of estimating and controlling
emissions from motor vehicles. It has been well known for
decades that roughly 10% of the vehicle fleet contributes
roughly 50% of on-road emissions; emissions from some
parts of the oil and gas sector also have these types of
high emitting sources, with significant implications for the
design of emission control strategies. Another significant
finding is the intermittency of many large sources in the oil
and gas sector. Again, the phenomenon will be described
along with implications for control strategies.
Finally, regional air quality implications of some of the changes
in emission magnitudes and spatial distribution will be
described. A particular focus will be on photochemical
air pollutants, especially ozone.

Sewerage & Water Board of New Orleans,
Louisiana: Inside the East Bank Wastewater
Treatment Plant Technical Tour
Thursday, June 23, 2016 • 9:00 am – 12:00 pm (noon)
Price $30
The East Bank Wastewater Treatment Plant (EBWWTP)
was originally constructed in 1973 and upgraded in 1980,
expanding treatment capacity to 122 million gallons per
day (MGD). The plant is located on the east bank of the
Mississippi River, near the St. Bernard Parish line, and
serves the entire East Bank of Orleans Parish.
Two 54-inch and one 60-inch sewer mains deliver wastewater
to the plant for initial treatment, where screens remove trash
and debris. The plant is capable of providing full treatment
to more than 120 million gallons of wastewater every day,
though on average, the plant receives and treats approximately 105 million gallons.
Hurricane Katrina Recovery - In August 2005, Hurricane
Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast and left the East Bank
Plant under 20 feet of water. Immediate recovery efforts
were successful with treatment restored in just three months.
Since Katrina, the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) has obligated $244 million in wastewater system
recovery projects, including the continued rehabilitation of
the plant and repair or replacement of pumping stations and
other key infrastructure. Water, drainage, and wastewater
Wetlands Assimilation - The Sewerage & Water Board of
New Orleans and Veolia have worked with Tulane University
since 2011 on a wetlands assimilation project. The project
incorporates chemically-treated bio-solids into wetlands
for nutrient enhancement and long-term stabilization. The
goal is to raise the elevation of the wetlands by one meter,
facilitating the growth of cypress and tupelo tree seedlings,
and restore an urban-degraded wetland to a lavish cypress
forest. The wetlands sequester 100,000 tons of carbon
annually – equivalent to removing exhaust from 18,000
automobiles each year.
Drainage System - There are 22 drainage pumping stations (DPS) in New Orleans, with a total pumping capacity
of over 29 billion gallons a day. That flow rate (over 45,000
cubic feet per second) is more than the flow rate of the
Ohio River.
This tour will include the East Bank Wastewater Treatment
Plant, the Wetlands Assimilation Project and Drainage
Pumping Station #5. The tour is limited to 30 persons and
will require preregistration and a security check prior to
the tour. Registration is required by June 1st to attend this
tour. Bus departs at the Hyatt Regency promptly at 9:00 am.

TECHNICAL PROGRAM
LETTER FROM THE TECHNICAL PROGRAM
CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR
Members of the Louisiana Section and Technical Council of the
A&WMA have developed an outstanding technical program for the
109th A&WMA Annual Conference and Exhibition (ACE) in New
Orleans, Louisiana. The theme for this year’s ACE is “Unmasking the
Industrial Renaissance.” This theme was selected to explore the nexus
of industrial growth and environmental stewardship. The technical
program is designed to bring views and information on air and waste
topics of essential interest to a wide spectrum of professionals from
industry, regulatory agencies, education, law, consulting companies,
equipment manufacturers, and public interest groups. Whether you
are a newly hired young professional or a seasoned veteran, if you are
looking for opportunities to obtain information on the latest regulations,
latest technologies, case studies and activities associated with air
modeling, air measurement, permitting, sustainability, waste, environmental and risk management, or many other environmental hot
topics, then this year’s A&WMA ACE is the place to find them.
Our program starts on Monday afternoon with the Keynote Speaker,
Stanley Meiburg, Acting Deputy Administrator of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). He will be followed by a Keynote Panel
consisting of Kim Greene, CEO of Southern Company; Vickie Patton,
General Counsel for the Environmental Defense Fund; and Chuck D.
Barlow, VP Environmental, Strategy and Policy, Entergy Corporation.
The keynote panel will focus on regulation of the electrical generating
industry.
The Technical Program continues on Tuesday morning with the 46th
Annual Critical Review. The featured speaker for this Presentation is
Dr. David T. Allen of the University of Texas at Austin. His presentation
is entitled “Emissions from Oil and Gas Operations in the United
States and Their Air Quality Implications.” The poster session also
occurs on Tuesday morning. Over 100 platform and panel sessions
follow on Tuesday afternoon and continue through Thursday afternoon.
The Technical Program includes a multi-session Mini-Symposium
comprised of a series of platform and panel sessions related to our
theme. This symposium provides discussions of recent regulatory
developments as well as case studies on permitting. These sessions
include discussions of EPA priorities, State Agency concerns,
innovative permitting programs, citizen monitoring of air quality,
air toxics regulations, recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions, and
permitting issues.

46 Final Program
This year we are also featuring an Oil and Gas track covering both
offshore and onshore air quality programs, management of oil and
gas exploration and production waste, midstream environmental
issues, hydraulic fracturing, and litigation. The Technical Program
also includes tracks covering air quality monitoring, climate change
policy, waste management issues, sustainability, air quality modeling,
health effects, and case studies in various areas. On Wednesday, a
trio of sessions geared to Young Professionals will reprise the popular
“What’s That Thang?” from the Louisiana Section. These sessions
will feature presentations from various industry and control device
professionals discussing how their processes work. These are also
popular with seasoned professionals!
In addition to the ACE presentations, technical tours and Professional
Development Courses are available to enhance your technical repertoire. The technical tours, organized by the Local Host Committee
(LHC), include the OxyChem Taft Plant, the Cornerstone Chemical
Company Fortier Manufacturing Complex, and the Sewerage and
Water Board of New Orleans East Bank Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Details regarding the technical tours and the Professional Development
Courses are provided elsewhere in this Final Program.
Of course no technical program can be considered complete if it does
not recommend visits with sponsors and exhibitors in the Exhibit
Hall. There you will be able to check out the newest products, discuss
the latest developments, and observe emerging technologies that are
being showcased. You will also be able to interact with colleagues and
other experts from the business, scientific, and regulatory communities.
We expect attendees for this year’s A&WMA ACE to come from
around the world. What better place to showcase the A&WMA than
New Orleans, in the heart of the Gulf Coast and home to a vibrant
oil and gas industry as well as many chemical and manufacturing
facilities. A&WMA’s Technical Council, Staff, the LHC, and others
have worked long and hard to make this meeting not only technically
sound, but also an enjoyable and memorable experience for you
and your families. We hope you take advantage of your opportunities
to stroll around the city and are able to enjoy many of the local
attractions. We are convinced that you will find this year’s 109th
A&WMA ACE an unforgettable experience and that you will enjoy
seeing the “new” New Orleans. Laissez les bon temps rouler!

Panel Session - Innovative Permitting Initiatives
In September 2009, EPA finalized a rule that promoted the use
of flexible air permits that would “facilitate flexible, marketresponsive operations at an industrial facility while ensuring
equal or greater environmental protection than conventional air
permits.” While some States are issuing formal “Flex Permits,”
many States are taking different and innovative approaches to
ensure positive environmental outcomes while finding process
efficiencies.
Panelists will describe specific State programs or projects that
successfully promoted compliance and efficiency. Ms. Stepp
will outline Wisconsin’s Green Tier program, which allows
companies with good performance records to pioneer regulatory
reforms or innovative approaches. Green Tier sites often implement
pollution prevention projects and work closely with their communities
under the program. Mr. Smith will discuss the “sector approach”
of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to multimedia
permitting, which provides a single point of contact for complex
projects in order to facilitate environmental protection and permit
timeliness. He will also cover other MPCA innovative initiatives.
Mr. Willing will highlight a recent cooperative project between
3M and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency that allowed
3M to write the renewed Title V permit for a complex 3M facility.
The approach saved agency resources, facilitated permit flexibility
and clarity, and improved the enforceability of the renewed permit.
Panelists:
• Cathy Stepp, Secretary, Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources
• Jeff Smith, Director, Industrial Division, MPCA
• Andrew Willing, 3M Company

Panel – TCC: REG2
Chair: David Jordan, ERM
As we approach the end of the Obama Administration, EPA is
continuing its work on a number of important regulatory initiatives
under the Clean Air Act. In 2015, EPA completed rulemaking to
control greenhouse gas emissions from both new and existing
electric utility generating plants. A number of legal challenges
have been filed against these rules, and many States have indicated
they do not intend to implement the rules regardless of the
outcome of legal challenges to the rules. Mr. Raj Rao from EPA's
Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) will provide
an update of the status of these standards and EPA’s next steps
in the regulatory process. Mr. Rao will provide a broad discussion
of other climate policy initiatives, including new regulations on
the control of methane emissions.
EPA’s ongoing review of National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS) is expected to continue to be a priority for EPA, with
attention focused on implementing the 2015 revised ozone
NAAQS. Implementation guidance for the revised ozone NAAQS
is expected from EPA as States gather air quality data necessary
for designations under the new standards. EPA continues to
work with States on achieving compliance with revised NAAQS
standards for sulfur dioxide and PM2.5.
58 Final Program
TECHNICAL SESSIONS
Although rulemaking for Maximum Achievable Control Technology
(MACT) standards for hazardous air pollutants from most source
categories have been implemented, potential revisions to certain
of these standards are being considered by EPA as a part of its
residual risk evaluations.
The panel will provide insights into EPA’s current regulatory
priorities on these and other topics with feedback from
State/local regulators, and industry on these initiatives.

Reliable and affordable electricity is essential to economic growth
and national security. The electric power generation sector is
among the most heavily regulated industries in the United States.
Further environmental regulation is changing the way electricity
is produced and has the potential to affect other industrial sectors
as well as impact the individual residential electricity consumer.
Utilities are diversifying energy resources and investing in new
technology based on a number of regulatory drivers; however
continued regulatory uncertainty adds another layer of complication to decision making. Coal and other fossil fuels will remain a
part of electricity production to some degree for the foreseeable
future, and States must work with generators to plan strategically

Technical Program
The Internet of Things (IoT), mobile devices, cloud computing,
and social networking are converging to allow citizens to take a
more active role in monitoring local air quality on a continuous
basis with distributed connected devices that are orders of
magnitude lower in cost than today’s regulatory monitors. This
increase in citizen-generated data has wide-reaching implications for citizens, industry, and air quality agencies. Simply
gathering air quality data, however, is of limited use if the data
are poor in quality or lacks proper analysis techniques. Citizens
need reliable, scientifically accurate methods to properly calibrate,
analyze, store and evaluate streaming data from low-cost fixed
and mobile monitors. When citizen-generated data are evaluated
in this manner, industry and regulatory agencies may find themselves relying on them to diagnose the scope and causes of
poor air quality hot spots if they do not have access to equal or
more robust targeted data. The panel will discuss issues that
arise from the increased collection and use of citizen-generated
air quality data, including:

Panel – TCC: APV
Chair: Rob Farber, Atmospheric Clarity
Vice-Chair: Jenny Hand, Cooperative Institute for Research in

The Officers of the APV Technical Committee thought it would be
an excellent idea to have a preview of our fall visibility specialty
conference at the Grand Tetons in Wyoming. We have assembled
5 visibility experts who will share their diverse technical expertise
in this panel presentation and discussion. They will discuss the
technical challenges confronting researchers to make continued
progress toward the national (U.S.) visibility goal. We know that
much of the haze impacting Class I visibility protected areas
emanates from large urban areas. But there is also natural haze,
non-regulated haze and even haze transported across our continental borders. There is a national visibility monitoring network
called IMPROVE. This network examines trends in aerosol
composition and reconstructed haze. Emission reductions from
urban areas have led to visibility improvements. However, there
have also been regional increased aerosol trends. Modeling
plays an important role in sorting the many sources from both
local and longer range transport that impact visibility in Class I
areas. We will touch on the challenges including impacts from
wildfires, windblown dust and international sources. There is a
concern by the stewards of our Class I areas that existing health
regulations may be insufficient to eventually meet the visibility
goal. These technical issues and more will be presented and
discussed by leading experts from the National Park Service
research group, EPRI/the electric utility industry, Desert Research
Institute and modeling addressed by Ramboll Environ. We will
conclude the session with eagerly anticipated highlights from
our fall visibility specialty conference.

EPA defines Environmental Justice as “the fair treatment and
meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color,
national origin, or income, with respect to the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies.” As EPA and the States strive to
ensure Americans all enjoy protection from environmental hazards
and have access to related decision making processes, States
are implementing new programs to meet those ends.
Panelists will describe State-level Environmental Justice programs,
including current State policy, program outcomes, and implications
for industry permitting activities. Ms. McGee-Collier will discuss
the incorporation of Environmental Justice into Mississippi’s
processes and her experience on the National Environmental
Justice Advisory Council for EPA. Mr. Smith will outline Minnesota’s
current Environmental Justice goals and policy. His presentation
will specifically cover their “Improving Minneapolis Air” pilot
project, under which permit holders in areas with high citizen
concern about industrial facilities were asked to implement best
environmental practices.

National regulatory initiatives to quantify and reduce volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) and greenhouse gas emissions have been a
driver for measurement studies for the entire oil and natural gas
supply chain. Cooperative measurement studies by nongovernmental organizations and industry groups have yielded much
empirical data for new source performance standard (NSPS)
OOOO development. Besides NSPS OOOO, recent changes
to the ozone NAAQS could impact oil and natural gas industry
venting and combustion emissions, depending on which areas
are in nonattainment for the new ozone standard.
The topics include:
• Results of a recent measurement study of methane emissions
from United States natural gas gathering and processing systems.
• A discussion of methane leakage from oil and gas operations
and what has been learned from recent studies.
• Status of changes to oil and gas methane and VOC emission
standards in 40 CFR 60 Subpart OOOO – Standards of
Performance for Crude Oil and Natural Gas Production,

EPA promulgated “Carbon Pollution Emission Guidelines for
Existing Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Generating Units
(EGUs)”, commonly known as Clean Power Plan (CPP), on October
23, 2015. These guidelines establish emissions standards for
greenhouse gas emissions as CO2 from EGUs on a uniform
nation-wide basis. The States can either meet the nation-wide
standards or optionally, they can meet State-specific goals.
Knowing the history of prior guideline development (e.g., EPA
has only developed 5 other guidelines in the last 45 years under
§111d), specifically, how EPA had actually developed the emissions
standards for other sources, it is believed that any emission
standard such as for CO2 for EGUs based on requirements not
associated with the unit (EGU) itself, may be improper and illegal.
In addition the critical issue is whether or not the EPA can promulgate a guideline for a source category under §111d when the
same category is already regulated under a different provision
of the Clean Air Act, specifically, under §112. Various challenges
to the rule have been filed with the courts on some of the same
issues. On February 9, 2016, the Supreme Court of the United
States (SCOTUS) has stayed the implementation of the CPP,
pending disposition of the challenges to the merits of the rule by
the U.S. Appeals Court for the District of Columbia (USDC) and
disposition of a writ of certiorari, if such writ is sought from the
SCOTUS. Finally, as per the EPA, no State plans are required to
be submitted by any State agency by the deadline of September
6, 2016, and the EPA is not enforcing any requirement under the
CPP at this time, until the challenges are resolved by the courts.
This panel session will include presentations, discussions, and
an overview of CPP State plan development and implementation
issues, as well as State-specific solutions and perspectives on
EPAs legal basis for the rule. The expert panel will include
participants from a State agency, an environmental group,
and law firms.

In the United States, there are no Federal regulations limiting
or defining odor. States and municipalities have stepped into
the void to create and enforce odor regulations. However odor
regulations vary from State to State and from industry to industry.
Knowing a locality’s odor regulation is not always easy since
these regulations are not well published. This session will look
at odor regulations and litigation of these laws. Panelists will
include industry representatives who have been the target of
odor regulation, regulators have who drafted regulation on odor,
litigation experts who have represented clients concerned about
odor, and a consultant who will share experiences with odor
regulatory statues and challenges of measuring and verifying
ambient odor concentrations.

The panel presentations and discussions will address the
management of wastes and water in oil & gas exploration and
production (E&P) operations throughout the United States. Panelists include an operating company, environmental consultants,
and an environmental interest group. The regulatory framework
for the management of wastes and water was developed in
the 1970’s and 1980’s by EPA and various oil & gas producing
States. The emergence of hydraulic fracturing operations in
many States in the U.S has increased the interest of local
communities in the management of wastes and water from
oil & gas operations.
76 Final Program
• Water and Waste management in hydraulic fracturing operations
• Remediation of oilfield wastes.
These topics relate to various aspects of water and wastes
associated with oil & gas E&P operations. The presentations will
provide timely information on the regulatory framework and the

Industry representatives will explain how their processes work,
providing an overview of the industry/process, discuss common
emission sources, regulatory challenges and give a brief look at
the future of their industry. Industries covered will include specialty
chemicals and oil refining. All presenters will follow the same
agenda, allowing attendees to make comparisons across
industries. This is a great introductory panel presentation for
all attendees but is focused on reaching the student/young
professional attendee.
As directed by Executive Order, EPA plans to roll out the final
version of revised Risk Management Plan (RMP) requirements in
2016. The revisions will affect all current RMP elements and will
add new substances, as well as reduce thresholds for existing
covered substances. Similar efforts are underway at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to strengthen
the Process Safety Management (PSM) program. It is expected
that over 10,000 facilities will be affected, primarily in the petrochemical refining, manufacturing, and forest product industries.
For some of the facilities, the changes could be significant
requiring implementation of new management systems and
revisions in engineering standards, all of which takes strategic
planning and time for compliance. Many other facilities currently
not covered under the regulation will also face challenges in
implementing and integrating new systems to their operations.
Panelists with extensive RMP and PSM experience will provide
diverse perspectives. The panelists will discuss technical
contents of the regulations, legal aspects, and real world
impacts to industry in implementing and assuring compliance
with the revised requirements.

Under the Clean Air Act the EPA establishes national ambient air
quality standards (NAAQS) for six common air pollutants including
carbon monoxide, ground level ozone, lead, nitrogen dioxide,
sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) to protect
public health and the environment. In parallel with this effort, the
EPA, States and local air pollution agencies have developed and
set increasingly stringent emission standards to reduce the
emissions of these pollutants, as well as volatile organic compound (VOC), a precursor of ozone, and other types of acid
gases from numerous types of industrial sources. In this session,
the panel will discuss the applications design and performance
levels of control technologies such as selective catalytic reduction
wet and dry gas scrubbers thermal and catalytic inciinerators
baghouses and electrostatic precipitators used in refineries

Local governments across the United States are being urged
by community members to prioritize sustainable growth through
local jobs, improved quality of life, and clean energy. At the same
time, cities and counties must address real risks to their communities, particularly climate hazards and resource scarcities.
Climate and clean energy planning has the potential to address
these needs simultaneously. Administrators must be deliberate
about how these plans are developed and applied to ensure
community buy-in and prioritization of implementable strategies
for change.

The future proofing approach to climate and clean energy planning
for local governments is one founded in technically-sound baseline
analysis. The process typically starts with an inventory of energy
use, water consumption, emissions, community health, economic
activities, and forecast based on specific growth scenarios.
Complementary to that baseline analysis is comprehensive stakeholder engagement and policy review to document community
priorities, constraints/obstacles, incentives, and best management
practices. It can also include an economic analysis of existing
clean energy companies and/or projects or a renewable energy
resource assessment. For communities particularly focused on

Room: Strand 10A/B
Chair: Paul Siebert, Weston Solutions, Inc.
Thursday, June 23
This panel will discuss permitting issues and permit conditions
that are prone to problems from various industry, government,
and environmentalist perspectives. Air pollutant emission
sources are generally required to obtain construction and operating
permits from State or local air quality agencies, or directly from
the EPA. Generally, the issuing agency will provide an opportunity
for a facility to review and comment on draft permit conditions.
Taking advantage of that opportunity is essential to ensure the
best permit that can be obtained. Particular permit conditions
that may present problems are: inflexible conditions that do not
provide for real world variations; emission limitations that cannot
be routinely or consistently achieved in practice; monitoring,
recordkeeping, and reporting conditions that require excessive
TECHNICAL SESSIONS
effort; and stack testing requirements that are of questionable
value yet costly. These and others may require substantial effort,
yet produce little environmental benefit. On the other hand,
permitting agencies and environmental advocacy groups may
perceive different problems with permit conditions. The panel
will discuss alternative conditions and other remedies for problem
permit conditions. Although modification of permit conditions is
within the exclusive purview of the permitting agency, permitting
agency personnel may have little familiarity with local issues or
the difficulty of complying with some permit conditions. Facility
personnel should strive to explain inherent difficulties and costs
with some permit conditions, so they can be changed when in
draft or final form. Similarly, the public should take advantage of
its opportunities to inquire and comment on a proposed permit
based on their familiarity with the locality or specific issues.

What Direction is EPA Taking the Utility Sector?
Track: POWR
Room: Bolden 5
Panel – TCC: PWR4
Chair: Peter Belmonte, TRC Solutions
Vice Chair: Rick Johnson, Entergy
We all know that the EPA has placed a huge target on the back
of the Power Sector over the last 5 years. Some of EPA’s rules
have been delayed by litigation and the Clean Power Plan (CPP)
has been stayed per a Supreme Court determination that is now
up in the air due to Justice Scalia’s recent passing. Natural gas
prices continue to fall thereby disrupting coal fired units. RTCs
get approved for another 5 years keeping renewables in play.
Significant capital investment will be necessary for compliance
for some rules whereas compliance with other rules may be less
expensive. Planning will be the key to maintaining compliance
with all these regulatory standards (SMS, GHGs, SO2 NAAQS,
Ozone, CWA 316b) as EPA drives technology to the limit. What
direction are these new rules taking the utility sector? We will
evaluate this by having representatives from Independent Power
Producers (IPPs), Utilities, and regulatory agencies provide their
thoughts on these issues.

On their website the U.S. EPA offers the following comments on
sustainability, Everything that we need for our survival and well-being
depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment.
To pursue sustainability is to create and maintain the conditions
under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony
to support present and future generations. The United Nations
has adopted 17 sustainable development goals which touch on
environmental protection but also include other topics such as
no poverty, quality education, reduced inequalities, and peace
and justice. These goals are tied to over 150 proposed targets
TECHNICAL SESSIONS
and over 300 proposed indicators to demonstrate compliance.
Although sustainability is a popular term for many organizations,
the goals associated with sustainability and the metrics used to
measure success vary widely. Accordingly, this Panel will discuss
the state-of-the-art in sustainability practices and the likely
evolutionary pathway for the sustainability concept in a variety of
settings and applications. Representatives from the heavy manufacturing sector, the public utility sector, academia and a leading
engineering-procurement-construction firm will each present their
enterprise’s viewpoint on the meaning of sustainability and the
paths for success in achieving philosophical breakthrough in
the enterprise and, then, for increasing scope expansion and
efficiencies… for making the program sustainable itself.

This session will introduce attendees to the wealth of environmental
education materials available from A&WMA, with a focus on the
Environmental Education Resource Guides (EERGs). The EERGs
offer lessons for almost any situation, from a simple Earth Day
classroom visit by an individual to a full workshop for multiple
teachers who can then take the materials back to their own
classrooms to be used year after year. Each lesson includes
background material for teachers, creative classroom activities,
and extensions that can be used for independent student projects.
This session will also introduce the A&WMA Teacher Workshop
Presenter’s Manual and will guide attendees in their preparation
and implementation of Teacher Workshops. It will also suggest
ways to run a Train-the-Trainer Workshop to prepare local A&WMA
members to give Teacher Workshops. A limited number of the
Presenter’s Manuals will also be available. The Manual guides
the User through every step of the process from planning an event
through sample workshop agendas and more. Two sets of lessons
are available: one focused on Air Quality and the other focused
on Nonpoint Source Water Pollution. The Panel members have
been updating the EERGs, and a recently developed lesson on
ozone will be introduced at ACE 2016. The sample lessons
listed below will be focused on toxics and water pollution
which are relevant to Louisiana.

Chair: Yevgen Nazarenko, McGill University
Management
Engineered nanomaterials are increasingly used in a vast array
of intermediate industrial and end-user consumer products and
applications. The attention and R&D efforts in the field of
nanotechnology are associated with a wide array of useful
physico-chemical electrical optical quantum characteristics and
bioactivity that matter dispersed at nanoscale or nanostructured
has. At the same time, just like with conventional materials and
chemicals, release of nanomaterials into the environment and
human exposure to nanomaterials occur at different stages during
nanomaterials’ life cycles – from production of raw materials during manufacturing of products, throughout product life and in the
process, and after disposal and waste processing. As a result,
there is an ever growing demand for better analytical techniques
and characterization approaches for both development and
production of nanomaterials and for environmental monitoring
and human exposure assessment. Analysis and characterization
of nanomaterials are challenging due to increasing difficulties of
imaging, measuring, counting, and characterizing matter at small
scale and in small quantities. The physico-chemical variety and
frequent use of complex nanomaterial-containing mixtures and
structures complicate things further. The techniques and approaches

One good way to get these materials into the hands of educators
especially in Grades K-12 classrooms is to host a Teacher Training
Workshop. The session presenters will provide an overview of
available materials discuss models for structuring a Teacher
Workshop and give tips on talking to Teachers. Hands-on
experience with a sample of exercises contained in the EERGs
will be included to give attendees the confidence to go out and
host Teacher Training Workshops through local A&WMA Sections

for nanoobject and nanomaterial analysis and characterization
can be used in both the nanotechnology development and manufacturing as well as environmental and health risk
assessment research. We also have a very limited understanding
of the extent of potential for exposure to nanomaterials and
environmental releases, and of the form of nanomaterials and
changes they undergo in the process of release and afterwards.
All these aspects can potentially result in health impacts, which
are critical to know for evidence-based regulation development.
Likewise a number of ambiguities and challenges exist in the
regulatory domain as it is hard to determine criteria and boundaries and categories used to define and describe nanomaterials
and understand which of them need to be regulated and for
what reasons.The panelists will discuss the benefits, use and
potential safety concerns associated with nanomaterials, and
currently available sampling measurement and analytical techniques. Specific instruments for nanoaerosol and nanomaterial
analysis will be described. Additional discussion will touch upon
measurement and experimental approaches to assessment of
inhalation exposure to airborne nanomaterials and to incidental
nanoparticles which may be released from industrial and other
processes. Lastly, some recent nanotechnology regulatory
developments will be summarized.

The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA) established a
technology based approach for National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) under 40 CFR 63. These
40 CFR 63 NESHAP regulations are commonly called MACT
standards. The CAAA also defines a major source of HAPs as
one emitting at least 10 tons per year (tpy) of any individual HAP
or 25 tpy of all HAPs combined. Most of the MACT standards
first promulgated addressed only major point sources of HAPs,
although some also addressed area sources that do not exceed
that threshold. More recently, a number of area source standards
have been promulgated. EPA has been under court-ordered
schedules for many major point and area source MACT standards.
In addition, a number of recent court rulings have vacated or
remanded MACT standards, in part or in whole, returning them
to EPA for revisions. Finally, the CAAA requires EPA to evaluate
the residual risks remaining after the application of MACT
standards. If the technology-based MACT standards have not
sufficiently reduced health risk, additional standards must be
promulgated to reduce the residual risk. These evaluations and

SILs and SMCs in NSR: What Lies Ahead
for PM2.5 and Other Pollutants
Track: REGU
Room: Bolden 5
Chair: Gary McCutchen, RTP Environmental Associates, Inc.
Vice Chair: Raj Rao, EPA OAQPS/AQPD
In the January 2013 decision in Sierra Club v. EPA, the U.S. Court
of Appeals for D.C. Circuit granted EPA’s request for vacatur and
remand of the PM2.5 Significant Impact Level (SIL) language in
the federal Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) rule.
According to EPA, that rule language was unintentionally drafted
in a way that removes the permitting authority’s discretion to
require a cumulative modeling analysis. The Court decision did
not address the SILs as codified at 40 CFR 51.165(b)(2) nor did
the Court decision address the use of SILs through policy. The
same decision vacated the Significant Monitoring Concentrations
(SMCs) for PM2.5, pointing to the Clean Air Act (CAA) requirement
to provide monitoring. This has resulted in attention shifting to
whether existing monitoring data are representative of the area
where a proposed new source or modification would impact the
ambient air. The panel will discuss these and other issues related
to SILs and SMCs and implementation of the PM2.5 New
Source Review (NSR) program.
