Complex air dispersion modeling assessments are often required in support of air permit applications for the construction or modification of an industrial facility.  In many cases, these assessments are a critical component for the development of the best permitting strategy.

During this webinar, our experts will discuss what air dispersion modeling is, when an air dispersion modeling assessment is required, and why these assessments are key to the development of a permitting strategy. They will also provide tips, best practices, and case study examples. Our speakers have extensive experience applying air dispersion models, providing permitting support, and working closely with industrial clients in order to provide innovative solutions for today’s modeling challenges. They look forward to sharing their insights.
