Modélisation des événements de buée et de givrage

Décembre 14, 2023

Au cours des dernières années, divers organismes à travers le pays se sont engagés à comprendre les impacts du brouillard généré par les systèmes de refroidissement. À première vue, le brouillard créé par les tours de refroidissement peut ne pas sembler être un problème important, mais il peut avoir des effets négatifs sur le public. Le brouillard peut nuire à la visibilité des personnes qui conduisent sur les routes et si les températures sont inférieures au point de congélation, le brouillard peut causer la formation de glace sur les surfaces. Pour comprendre les conséquences du brouillard créé par ces systèmes de refroidissement, les experts ont mis au point des techniques de modélisation avancées.

New Jersey’s Landmark Environmental Justice Law

novembre 24, 2020

Many facilities require air quality measurement testing programs to verify compliance with regulatory permits, assess new air pollution control equipment performance and certify the continuous emission monitoring (CEM) equipment associated with the production processes. Proper, accurate, efficient and timely execution of compliance test programs reduces costs while providing defensible data that are representative of source emissions. In the absence of proper planning, important details can be overlooked, resulting in last minute changes that are costly with the potential to delay the test program. Proper planning, coupled with informed oversight, ensures the test program is performed successfully, in full accordance with appropriate methods and agency coordination and supported by the full complement of required measurement and process data. This webinar, tailored to meet the needs of facilities in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri and Wisconsin, shares best practices and outlines key considerations to equip participants with the skills to manage air quality measurement programs that achieve technically-sound results and fully support the compliance and operational objectives of all types of facilities. Topics discussed by TRC’s Dan Grabowski and Doug Ryan include: A systematic approach to stack test planning and oversight General notification and reporting requirements EPA’s Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) Update on EPA’s Stationary Source Audit Program (SSAP)

Support an Integrated EHS/ESG Management System

juin 10, 2022

While a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is a common method for identifying environmental liabilities during transactional due diligence, the ASTM International standard for Phase I ESAs (E1527-13, with proposed E1527-21 awaiting adoption) omits regulatory compliance from its scope. For properties containing operations that may be applicable to environmental compliance regulations, performing a limited environmental regulatory review can identify potential deficiencies with the environmental management of the facility. A limited environmental compliance review typically evaluates the presence of material findings that may exist in a facility’s management of its environmental compliance requirements. Material findings are defined as a condition of non-compliance that could necessitate expenditures, not including attorney fees or regulatory agency penalties, in excess of a specified dollar amount or materiality threshold. The materiality threshold is based on the client’s risk tolerance and is often in the range of $50,000. However, this amount is arbitrary and can be revised as appropriate. Non-material deficiencies, those identified below the materiality threshold, would still require action but are within the client’s risk tolerance.
