SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwire - November 19, 2008) - Citation Technologies joined forces with RTP
Environmental Associates, Inc. to launch NSRonline®
, a dynamic portal for EPA's environmental preconstruction permitting
program. NSRonline will increase productivity of air quality professionals
up to 20% thanks to an integrated collaboration platform and a clever set
of productivity tools, such as the NSR portal search ability and the
tracking of regulatory document changes. NSRonline®
is a subscription-based Web service offering electronic access to the
Advanced New Source Review Workshop course outline which summarizes,
references, and hyperlinks to NSR documents. Over 1,000 documents and
13,300 pages of information are now provided to air quality professionals
in an up-to-date, user-friendly dynamic portal.
"By referring to readily available descriptive sections and documents of
the outline, a typical subscriber may cut the time spent on researching the
issue by half. In addition, this will avoid digging through scattered
agency resources (both online and archived paper documents) and interacting
with several layers of agency staffers," explains Gary D. McCutchen,
Principal, RTP Environmental Assoc., Inc., who played a critical role in
the formation of the original NSR rules and is widely regarded as a
national expert and leading authority on air pollution permitting,
training, strategy development and resolution of issues, including
compliance and enforcement actions.
Congress established the New Source Review (NSR) preconstruction permitting
program as part of the 1977 Clean Air Act Amendments. The NSR program
assures that any large, new, or modified industrial source in
NSR-designated neighborhoods will be as clean as possible, and that
advances in pollution control occur concurrently with industrial expansion.
NSRonline® is the premier online reference for information on the
Environmental Protection Agency's New Source Review (NSR) program.
Professionals are now able to ensure with NSRonline® that air quality is
not significantly degraded from the addition of new and modified factories,
industrial boilers and power plants. A preconstruction permit specifies
what construction is allowed, what emission limits must be met, and often
how the emissions source must be operated. Citation Technologies' products
drive down the cost and improve the overall global consistency and
environment, safety and health risk management.
