The Uniform Air Quality Training Program (UAQTP) is a series of 14 courses WEBCAST over a 4 day period, providing an introduction to air pollution control and enforcement. The program is intended for new, entry-level stationary source inspectors, regulatory agency staff, and environmental specialists in business and government. You will learn the basics of air pollution history, the evolution of air pollution laws and regulations, control equipment, and inspection procedures associated with proper compliance inspections. This course is designed for owner/operators of chrome plating facilities who wish to comply with the “Environmental Compliance Training” requirements in section 93102.5 (b) of the NEW Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM) for Chromium Plating and Chromic Acid Anodizing Facilities. Classroom discussion will focus on the new amendments associated with the new ATCM requirements. The Air Resources Board (ARB) has several new and existing regulations designed to reduce emissions from diesel vehicles and equipment operating in California. This course will provide a brief overview of the regulations including; Idling, Heavy-Duty Vehicle Inspection Program (HDVIP), engine labeling, diesel emission control strategies, On-Road Public Fleet Regulation, In-Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicle Regulation, and the Portable Equipment Registration Program (PERP). This course will also cover regulations that prohibit the release of fugitive dust from construction projects. These regulations are needed to meet federal, state, and local air pollution mandates, reduce the public's exposure to cancer-causing exhaust, as well as reduce the ambient air particulate concentration. Diesel exhaust after-treatment devices including diesel particulate filter (DPF) technology are in the forefront of California’s Diesel Risk Reduction Program. Daily, external stakeholders ask ARB staff basic questions about retrofit technology and have complaints about the retrofit operation. This course answers the basic questions provided by stakeholders, provides basic interview questions for retrofit complaint follow-up, and provides the process for forwarding complaints to the Retrofit Implementation Advocate.
