In association with its subsidiary, Optimal Technologies, Inc., Weavertown Environmental Group (WEG) provides a complete range of air quality services to identify, evaluate, monitor or eliminate emission sources.

 
WEG environmental specialists are knowledgeable in all USEPA Source Testing Methods, as well as new and innovative means of sampling strategy design.  Members of WEG have developed major work strategies ad quality assurance plans, defining the scope of source testing events associated with a variety of facilities.  Our staff is expertly trained in the field execution of such plans including installation, daily operation, leak detection and repair, instrument calibration, training and quality assurance.

Our experience encompasses total suspended particulate matter, respirable particles (PM 10), sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, ozone, and toxic pollutants such as acetone, acetic acid, formaldehyde, methanol and methylene chloride.

Permitting and Compliance services for the evaluation of requirements, regulatory review, compliance plan development, permit application preparation, modification of existing permits and record keeping.

Our professionals have prepared permit applications for Title V of the Clean Air Act, as well as required county and state operating permits.  Types of industry for which we have prepared permits include steel mills, machine shops, waste incinerators, graphic arts manufacturers, chemical manufacturers, foundries, calcining operations, coke plants, natural gas compressors, and coatings manufacturers, just to name a few.

Emissions Inventories to identify criteria pollutants using facility operations data, results of source tests, existing permit specifications, USEPA emission factors, various computer databases and standard engineering practices.

WEG’s air quality specialists have prepared and submitted emissions inventories for state and federal agencies, as well as industrial clients.  WEG generates accurate and concise computerized emissions inventories using the data compiled from the referenced sources.

Dispersion Modeling to estimate the impact of mobile or stationary air pollution sources.

WEG's multi-disciplinary professionals are knowledgeable not only in the theoretical aspects of model application, but also in the practical aspects of model application to a wide variety of emission sources.

The staff has routinely used a variety of dispersion models to assess the air quality of individual, group, and area-wide emission sources.  Various models such as ISCST2, ISCLT2, SHORTZ, PUFF, OCMPLEX I, VALLEY, AND CHEMDAT7, among others, have been used in our studies to evaluate the impact of generic source categories and to make air quality assessments of emission sources.

Meteorological Monitoring to assist with dispersion modeling and data evaluation.

WEG has experience installing, calibrating, and maintaining meteorological sensors and their data acquisition systems.  Measured parameters include wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity, temperature, precipitation, barometric pressure, date, and time.

Leak Detection and Repair to screen existing emissions from leaking equipment, identify leaks, compile data, and prepare and submit reports for agency review and corrective action recommendations.  Corrective action plans have included identification of piping, tagging of components, and maintenance of equipment for full turnkey implementation.

Ambient Air Monitoring to sample, evaluate, and monitor emission sources and design, install, operate, and maintain monitoring networks.

Members of our staff have developed major work plans and quality assurance plans defining the scope of ambient air monitoring networks associated with manufacturing facilities, as well as Superfund remediation sites.  Our staff is very familiar with the field execution of such plans, including installation, daily operation, instrument calibration and repair, training, and quality assurance.  Our experience encompasses total suspended particulate matter, respirable particles (PM₁₀), sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, ozone, and toxic pollutants such as acetone, acetic acid, formaldehyde, methanol, and methylene chloride.

Source Testing services to prepare and submit sampling protocols to regulatory agencies, perform testing, and prepare compliance test reports.  Services can also include diagnostic testing and characterization of non-emission point source gaseous process streams.

The staff is knowledgeable in all USEPA Source Testing Methods, as well as new and innovative means of sampling strategy design.  Project experience includes compliance testing for the steel industry, chemical processes, paper industry, glass manufacturing industry, combustion sources, and the wood treating industry, just to name a few.

Emission Control Technology Evaluation to evaluate control options and processes based on preliminary design, source testing, cost estimates, bid specifications, project engineering and management associated with the installation, maintenance and testing of selected technologies.

Our staff has performed feasibility studies for control effectiveness, energy, environmental, and economic impacts of sources.  These evaluations are required for Best Available Control Technology (BACT), Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT), Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT), and Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER) analysis.

Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) Title III Reporting services to compile and manage emissions data, material usage data, etc. and prepare and submit annual reports regarding routine or accidental releases into the environment (air, land, and water). 

Our professionals have previously managed and were responsible for the SARA 313 reporting of more than 30 facilities, including complex coke, coal, chemical, specialty steel, and wood treating facilities.
