BlueScape AB 617 Update, The Community Air Protection Program Draft Blueprint...BlueScape
This webinar is an update to BlueScape’s presentation on March 22, 2018. On June 7, 2018, the Air Resources Board (ARB), released the Draft Community Air Protection Program Blueprint. ARB requests that comments on the Blueprint be submitted by July 23rd, 2018. The Blueprint builds on ARB’s previous Concept Paper, containing detailed information on identification and selection of Communities; criteria for emission reduction programs; statewide rulemaking actions, tools and resources; and, Air Monitoring Plan requirements.
Communities have been self-recommending to the Air Districts. The Community Identification process closes by June 29, 2018. One of the main concerns of industry is likely to be how effectively these Communities will collect monitoring data, visualize and analyze potential impacts, and work with the regulatory agencies to make and implement appropriate emission reduction decisions.
AB 617 is a fast-developing program with potentially far-reaching consequences in California. The program is expected to be approved by the ARB Board by fall 2018 and launched by year-end. This webinar will update you on current AB 617 Program developments:
- Summary of important elements in ARB’s Draft Blueprint document;
- Expected Year 1 target Communities List in three major Air Districts;
- AB 617 activities & schedule update, at the State and Air District levels;
- Community governance, and the role of agencies and industries;
- Description of Air Monitoring Plan requirements and expected technical developments;
- Update on Community Funding Grants and other funding resources; and
- Data analysis and visualization; a demonstration on how communities could use monitoring and emissions data to assess emission reductions.
James Westbrook can be reached at jwestbrook@bluescapeinc.com or 877-486-9257. Please contact us for any questions or support you need to work with the air agencies and communities to respond to the developing regulations and requirements under AB 617, and if you have an air quality impact analysis needs.
BlueScape - AB 617, The California Community Air Protection Program Webinar 0...BlueScape
This webinar by James Westbrook, President of BlueScape Environmental, provides an update on the California Community Air Protection Program, or AB 617. The regulation is a new, one-of-a-kind program implemented by the Air Resources Board (ARB).
The Program provides more than $255 million in funding for mobile source air emission reductions and assistance grants in health-impacted, economically disadvantaged areas, primarily in the South Coast Air Basin, the San Joaquin Valley and the Bay Area. ARB released the AB 617 Concept Paper, and the Draft Process and Criteria for 2018 Community Selections in early February 2018, and has been conducting workshops and technical summits. Communities are now able to self-recommend to ARB, and Air Districts are required to submit an initial Communities list by April 30, 2018.
AB 617 is a fast-developing program that will be launched by the end of 2018. This new and statewide process will be directed by Air Districts, but led by communities that step forward to reduce their health impacts, supported by an extensive emissions database and air monitoring networks. Companies operating in or near Communities identified under AB 617 may be required to take action under risk of enforcement, including such actions as installing Best Available Retrofit Control Technology (BARCT).
This webinar provides information on what you need to know about the current direction of AB 617 Program development, including: genesis of the AB 617 rule; relationship to existing state regulations and programs; potential AB 617 Communities, as identified using CalEnviroScreen and other tools; summary of work completed by ARB to date (Concept Plan, Draft Process and Criteria for 2018 Communities Selection, and Technical Summits); current Air District actions to implement AB 617 such as description and funding sources to implement emission reductions, monitoring networks, emission databases and assistance grants; schedule for AB 617 implementation, and opportunities for you to get involved with the developing Program.

BlueScape Pressure on Metal Facilities is Heating Up! Update on the Los Ange...BlueScape
Metal processing facilities are facing regulatory scrutiny and air emission controls unlike ever before, in a snowball effect of agency action.
You may have heard about metal processing facilities such as Exide in Vernon. Or Anaplex in Paramount. Fast-forward to 2017, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) has made findings of elevated and significant airborne levels of hexavalent chromium (CrVI) in Paramount and Compton. The findings were made by extensive ambient fenceline and community monitoring near metal processing facilities.
Now, some metal processing facilities in the LA area are undergoing Order for Abatement actions to protect public health by SCAQMD, by controlling emissions and odors, and even by shutting down operations, at high capital cost. State and local rules are changing, to accelerate the allowed enforcement use of fenceline monitoring and expedited Orders for Abatement, and to codify stringent CrVI, lead, arsenic, cadmium and nickel air emission controls.
The City of Los Angeles just announced that 21,000 metal processing sites will be prioritized for investigation for possible public health impacts from CrVI sources. These developments have implications in LA, California and beyond.
This webinar discusses:
• The background to SCAQMD’s Community Air Toxics Initiative.
• Update of enforcement activities in Paramount and Compton.
• What is the role public nuisance laws, monitoring, source testing and health risk modeling have in all this?
• SCAQMD rule developments that may impact your operations; 1407, 1420, 1426, 1430 & 1469
• Relevant State legislation and other local actions flowing from the Air Toxics Initiative.
• How to assess your status before SCAQMD visits your facility - what is a “bad” operation and what is “good”
• Options to avoid enforcement action and revised SCAQMD toxics rule requirements, and streamline compliance costs.
• How to proactively reduce emissions, including enclosures, scrubbers, dust collectors, housekeeping and other measures.
The instructors for the webinar are James A. Westbrook, President of BlueScape, and Michael Stewart, Project Manager. Since 1987, BlueScape has managed or completed more than 100 air toxics related projects for metal processing facilities. BlueScape has been working with aerospace companies, metal finishing facilities and foundries on issues related to the Air Toxics Initiative.

These songs have not only earned Nelson large royalties but have also ensured his continued relevance in the music industry.
Acting and Film Career
Hollywood Ventures
In addition to his music career, Willie Nelson has also made a mark in Hollywood. His distinctive personality and on-screen presence have landed him roles in several films and television shows. Notable appearances include roles in "The Electric Horseman" (1979), "Honeysuckle Rose" (1980), and "Barbarosa" (1982). These acting gigs have added a significant amount to Willie Nelson net worth.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
