ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The optional Permitting 101 pre-workshop session (7:45 AM to 8:30 AM) is designed to provide attendees with a basic understanding of North Carolina’s air quality permtting processes.

The Workshop will begin at 8:45 AM. The morning session and a portion of the afternoon session will focus on issues common to all regulated air emission sources.

Later in the afternoon, Workshop attendees will have the choice of attending one of two concurrent sessions covering Title V sources and non-Title V sources (synthetic minor, small, and area sources).

The agenda provides plenty of time for questions during each presentation as well as during breaks and lunch. Additionally, attendees may submit specific questions prior to the workshop to NCMA who will then provide the questions to DAQ staff anonymously so that they can address the questions during the Workshop.

All sessions at the Workshop will be presented by the staff of the Division of Air Quality.

BENEFITS OF ATTENDING

• Obtain practical compliance information directly from key regulators who administer and enforce North Carolina’s air quality programs.
• Network with fellow environmental professionals.
