  16. Two Day, introductory course on air modeling for state and federal permit applications. Mixture of theory and practical application Includes hands-on class exercises on model setup and execution Both screening and refined modeling lessons. Describes differences between ISC and AERMOD Courses Modeling for Permits Overview

  17. Fundamentals of Modeling (basic Gaussian theory, differences between ISC and AERMOD, model limitations). Federal & State Modeling Requirements Screen Modeling Control Options Source Data Receptor Grids Courses Modeling for Permits Day One

  18. Terrain Data & AERMAP Met Data Fundamentals Building Downwash Output Options Model Execution Analyzing Results Permit Modeling Exercise Courses Modeling for Permits Day Two

  19. In depth, one day course on all features of AERMOD and its preprocessors. Basic theory is covered, however concentration is on practical application and improvements over ISC. Courses Advanced AERMOD Overview

  20. Lesson 1 – Overview Lesson 2 – Fundamentals of AERMET Lesson 3 – AerMet Setup and Execution Lesson 4 – Fundamentals of AerMap Lesson 5 – AerMap Setup and Execution Lesson 6 – Fundamentals of PRIME & BPIP-Prime Lesson 7 – BPIP-PRIME Setup and Execution Lesson 8 - Fundamentals of AERMOD Lesson 9 – AERMOD Setup & Execution Lesson 10 – Comparison of AERMOD & ISC3 Results Courses Advanced AERMOD Overview

  21. 75% of the course is devoted to in class exercises. Focuses more on using and performing CalPuff studies rather than theory behind the program. Courses Practical CalPuff Overview

  22. CalPuff System Overview Fundamentals Near-Field Demonstration Long-Range Transport Screening Geo-Physical Data Processing Courses Practical CalPuff Day One

  23. Meteorological data processing Professional CalPuff features Refined Long-Range Transport In-Class Exercise Courses Practical CalPuff Day Two

  24. Basic knowledge of permitting and the 112(r) regulations is helpful before attending course. The course covers the EPA guidance for modeling worst case and alternate release scenarios. Focuses on practical modeling applications Emphasis on case studies and examples Intense, “hands on,” one day courses Courses Accidental Release Modeling Overview
