The Michigan Mapping Project: An Emerging Response Technology (62min) - Recording temporarily unavailable

During an environmental emergency response, situational awareness of the surrounding area, vulnerabilities, impacted communities, and potential sources is key, and the Michigan Mapping Project is a new Geographical Information System (GIS) response tool that can be used to quickly identify and monitor this information. This presentation will teach you about using this technology in a spill response situation, for pre-planning of an incident, and how to become a user of this program, which can include any public entity at the federal, state, and local level as well as private sector emergency responders.

Title V (Clean Air Act) Renewable Operating Permit Webinar Series Renewable Operating Permits (ROPs) are permits for major sources of air pollutants. These permits are typically a conglomeration of a stationary source's existing permits. Unlike other permits, the ROP must be renewed every five (5) years. The process of getting, renewing, or even changing an ROP can be complicated. This webinar series focuses on facilities in Michigan that either have an issued ROP, are in the process of applying for an initial ROP, or are working with these facilities. EGLE air quality specialists discuss best management practices on a variety of topics, including applications, modifications, reporting, compliance assurance monitoring, and testing all related to ROPs.
