SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwire - November 19, 2008) - Citation Technologies joined forces with RTP
Environmental Associates, Inc. to launch
NSRonline®, a dynamic portal for accessing historical USEPA's
guidance documents and regulatory interpretations related to
preconstruction air permitting programs (both Prevention of Significant
Deterioration and Non-attainment Major New Source Review). NSRonline®
will increase productivity of air quality professionals up to 50% thanks to
an integrated collaboration platform and a clever set of productivity
tools, such as the 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 various agency determinations, guidance
documents and promulgation of regulation. Over 1,000 documents and 13,300
pages of information are now accessible to air quality professionals in an
up-to-date, user-friendly dynamic portal that includes
full-text Federal articles as referenced by New Source Review and the
Workshop course outline.
"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 development and implementation of the original PSD/NSR rules and is
widely regarded as a national expert and leading authority on air
permitting, training, strategy development and resolution of issues,
including compliance and enforcement actions.
Congress established the New Source Review preconstruction permitting
program as part of the 1977 Clean Air Act Amendments. The NSR program
assures that any large, new, or modified industrial source will not have
adverse impacts on the air quality in the region, and that advances in
pollution control occur concurrently with industrial expansion.
NSRonline® is the premier online reference for compilation of information
on the agency's New Source Review programs. Air Quality Professionals are
now able to access NSRonline®'s agency determinations and guidance on
all aspects of air permitting and compliance so as to minimize risk of
enforcement and also evaluate past precedence for addition of new and
modified, large stationary industrial sources such as electric utility
plants, petroleum refineries and other industrial operations. Citation
Technologies' products drive down the cost and improve the overall global
consistency for environment, safety and health risk management.
