Greenhouse Gas Emissions Measurement
If you are subject to EPA's proposed mandatory Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Reporting Rule, or if you are compiling data to determine your company's Carbon Footprint, we can help. We can use EPA, ASTM, NIOSH, and/or CARB Test Methods to directly measure your GHG Emissions. No guessing, no calculations, just accurate measurements.

Gases currently covered by the rule include: Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), Nitrous Oxide (N2O), Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6), Perfluorocarbons (PFC), and other Fluorinated Gases including Nitrogen Trifluoride (NF3) and Hydrofluorinated Ethers (HFE).

Test Protocol (Plan) Consulting
If you have a seemingly complex manufacturing or chemical process with equally complex EPA Air Permit Compliance Testing requirements, we can help you develop a Site Specific Test Plan. We can also assist in the design of an Engineering Testing Strategy (not for EPA Compliance demonstration) to indentify and help troubleshoot any specific process problems and/or energy saving opportunities. We will:

• Select the appropriate Test Method to maximize the accuracy of each measurement for total Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and/or specific Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs).
• Assist in the design of an appropriate Permanent (PTE) or Temporary Total Enclosures (TTE) if your permit requires a Capture Efficiency (CE) determination.
• Negotiate the most technically and economically reasonable Test Protocol with your EPA Agency Representatives from an unbiased third party point of view.
• Specify the appropriate Test Methods to determine the Specific Process Emission Variables (e.g., temperature, moisture content, VOC concentration, grain loading, particle size distribution, etc.) necessary for the Design and Specification of Air Pollution Control (APC) Equipment.

CCX Third Party Verification
Air Compliance Testing offers services as an Approved Offset Project Verifier for Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) Destruction and Landfill Methane Emission Offsets for the Chicago Climate Exchange®(CCX®). Air Compliance Testing will use information provided by the Project Owner or Aggregator and arrange a site visit to your facility (if needed), to accurately assess your project's actual Exchange Offsets (XOs). For more information on CCX's® Qualifying GHG Offsets go to www.chicagoclimatex.com.

Air Dispersion Modeling
Air Dispersion Modeling can be used:

• To verify that emissions from a new source will not exceed Ambient Air Quality Standards, Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) levels, Maximum Ground Level (MAGLC) or Fence Line Concentrations (typically a State Specific Air Toxic requirement).
• To determine the appropriate Stack Configuration (i.e., height, velocity and diameter) or the need/impact of APC Equipment.
• To predict Future Pollutant Emissions from single or multiple sources.
• To perform Air Quality Impact Studies on your local area.
• To evaluate the effect of an Accidental Release for a Risk Assessment or Emergency Response Plan.
• To analyze Pollutant Deposition Patterns.

Air Compliance Testing utilizes the following Computerized Air Dispersion Modeling Programs: Toxins Screening Model (TSCREEN), AERMOD Modeling System, CALPUFF Modeling System, and the SLAB Model.

Ambient Air Monitoring Services
Air Compliance Testing's Ambient Air Monitoring Services can help if you are:

• Constructing a new Major Stationary Source that may trigger PSD Regulations.
• Making Major Modifications to your Existing Major Source (e.g., replacing a Boiler, adding new Process Equipment or upgrading an older Process Unit's Capacity) that also may trigger PSD Regulations.
• Conducting an Air Dispersion Modeling Verification Study.
• Involved in an Ambient Air Odor Investigation and/or Origin of Emissions Study.

Air Compliance Testing provides:

• On-Site Meteorological and Ambient Air Monitoring Services.
• Help with constructing and operating your PSD Ambient Air Monitoring Station to determine the effect of the Emissions from a Proposed New Source on Ambient Air Quality as required by 40 CFR Part 51.
• Programs that meet the requirements of 40 CFR Part 58, "Ambient Air Quality Surveillance", the criteria in Appendix B to Part 58, "Quality Assurance Requirements for Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Air Monitoring", and Appendix E to Part 58, "Probe and Monitoring Path Siting Criteria for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring".
