Session Details
SRCE103: Introduction to Continuous Monitoring Systems
January 13, 2026 @ 9:00 – 4:00 Central
Who Should Attend: This course is intended for a fairly broad audience and could include participants with non-technical backgrounds (e.g., a basic degree in science) as well as technical backgrounds (e.g., a chemical engineering degree). This course is an introductory course for CMS, therefore, no prior knowledge of CMS is presumed. This course is intended primarily for new hires or any participants who need a basic understanding of CMS in their job responsibilities.
- Staff who are inspection and/or enforcement personnel
- Staff who observe stack test and CMS certifications
- Staff who review audit reports
Course Description: The one-day Introduction to Continuous Monitoring Systems (CMS) Course provides participants with a basic understanding of CMS. It provides an overview of key concepts and information on CMS, including purpose and uses, types, systems design and components, regulations, audits/inspections, and enforcement procedures. This course is an introductory course to CMS.
Learning Objectives: Upon completing this course, learners will gain a basic understanding of Continuous Monitoring Systems (CMS). They will be able to use the knowledge gained on the following topics to assess the accuracy of CMS data and the ongoing compliance of sources monitored by CMS:
- Types and purposes of CMS
- Review of regulatory basis for CMS
- Overview of enforcement aspects for CMS
At the end of this course, learners will be able to:
- Recognize enforcement aspects of CMS
- Understand the purpose of CMS and different types and uses of CMS
- Identify the regulations that contain CMS requirements
SRCE202: Observing Source Tests
January 14, 2026 @ 9:00 – 4:00 Central
Course Description: This one-day course provides an overview associated with observing source tests. The course covers the following topics:
- Basic principles of source test observation (STO)
- Fundamentals of source testing methods
- Method 5
- Sampling train and procedures
- Sample recovery observations
- Procedural inspections, calculations, report writing and QA techniques
Learning Objectives: After completion of this course, learners will be able to explain the principles of source test observation and the fundamentals of source testing methods.
TOXC102: Regulations of Hazardous Air Pollutants from Stationary Sources
January 15, 2026 @ 9:00 – 3:00 Central
Who Should Attend: Learners who attend this course should already have foundational knowledge of air toxics topics. If learners do not already have this knowledge, it is recommended that the following e-learning modules are taken prior to attending this course:
- What are the health and environmental effects of air toxics?
- What are air toxics?
- What are the sources of air toxics?
Course Description: This half day course serves as a building block to provide learners with foundational knowledge for why and how hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from stationary sources are regulated before taking courses on other air toxics or industry-specific topics, such as permitting, control technologies, inspections, or enforcement.
This course covers the listing of HAPs, listing of HAPs sources, components of the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs), Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) and Generally Available Control Technology (GACT) standard setting, and NESHAP residual risk review and technology review.
Learning Objectives: After completion of this course, learners will be able to explain the regulatory framework for hazardous air pollutants from stationary sources. Specifically, learners will be able to:
- Explain technology and residual risk review of emission standards.
- Identify the key elements of the regulatory framework for HAPs from stationary sources.
- Explain how HAPs are identified (listed) and delisted under the Clean Air Act (CAA).
- Define major and area stationary sources.
- Explain the requirements for identifying (listing) major and area sources under the CAA.
- Identify the types of emissions standards.
- Describe the components of emissions standards.
- Explain how emissions standards are set for major and area sources.
