Continuous Emission Monitoring
Raymond Ehrhard, P.E.
Overview
EPA has developed a
plain-English guide as a “road map” to help interested parties navigate through
the complex Part 75 Continuous Emission Monitoring (CEM) rule. This course will
use this guide to study the CEM monitoring requirements for monitoring stack gas
emissions. This will be useful to people responsible for complying with the
rule, regulatory agencies assessing compliance with the rule, and others who
want a general understanding of the emissions monitoring approach used in EPA’s
emissions trading programs.
EPA has established stack
monitoring requirements under various programs, including: the Acid Rain Program
(ARP), the NOx Budget Trading Program (NBP), the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR)
and the Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR). This course summarizes the monitoring
requirements under each of these rules and outlines certification testing and
QA/QC standards.
This material provides a general overview of the EPA Part 75 regulations and
clarifies the technical provisions.
The course will be beneficial
to a student with basic knowledge of air pollution control who is interested in
learning about the continuous emission monitoring requirements. It is also an
excellent overview for professionals working in the field of air pollution
control.
The student is expected to
read and review the material contained in the Plain English Guide to the Part 75
Rule, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Clean Air Markets Division,
September 2005.
The student must take a
multiple-choice quiz consisting of forty (40) questions at the end of this
course to obtain 8 PDH credits.
