If you're reading this, we must have survived the Y2K computer bug and hopefully rolled into the new year and millennium without a hitch. Some of us rang in the new year with the typical party and cheer, while others carefully monitored our computer systems for any glitches to protect commerce, public health and the environment. We are thankful to all who spent many hours preventing Y2K-related system upsets resulting in a safe transition from last year to this one.
The beginning of the year is usually a time for reflecting on the past, for discussing changes and making new resolutions for the future. Some of us have great intentions, but keep saying "I'll start on it tomorrow", while others are already working and planning a strategy for success. Mr. Bob Hall, President of A&WMA, is working hard planning for the future. Reflecting on the many changes that have occurred in our Association over the years, Mr. Hall suggests we enter the new millennium with a new name that better reflects our Association. The Association changed its name 10 years ago from the Air Pollution Control Association to Air & Waste Management Association to better reflect our membership at that time. Over the past decade our members, including myself, no longer focus on just air and/or waste, but handle multimedia environmental issues. Looking at the broad spectrum of our membership, I agree with Mr. Hall that our Association should have a name that better reflects its membership of professionals solving multimedia environmental issues around the world.
The A&WMA Board of Directors has identified several suitable names not already taken by other environmental organizations and is open to new suggestions. They would like to hear from you. What are your thoughts on a new name? Please either fax the survey found in the November EM to the Home Office or complete the survey found on the A&WMA web site: www.awma.org.
Our Section's fiscal year is only half over and we have already enjoyed several excellent educational meetings. The Programs Committee is busily organizing four more educational programs and several social activities for the remaining half. During the first half of the fiscal year, we have also mobilized several new committees to help promote membership, professional education, public outreach, network opportunities and social activities. In our committee kick-off meetings, I have heard some excellent new ideas that include: a QEP test study group, public service projects, job postings on the web site, half- to full-day technical workshops, and many more. As these committees continue to develop programs for our members and the public, what can we offer you? What programs can we offer to increase your knowledge, provide network contacts, provide forums to discuss important issues with your peers, or simply help you be an even better equipped environmental professional? Please contact our committee chairs or me to let us know how we can help you. Or better yet, join a committee and become involved. A listing of the committees is posted on our web site: www.awmastl.org. We want to be a value-added organization to both your professional and personal lives. I invite you to work with our team. All levels of volunteerism are accepted from making a simple phone call to running an entire workshop. It's this type of member involvement that makes A&WMA the premier environmental organization. Let's start those New Year's resolutions today!

Your Help Needed to Meet Goal |
As you will recall from the last issue of the Newsletter, we will be applying for the Minasian Award for Outstanding Section. The Minasian Award (named in honor of George T. Minasian, Mid-Atlantic States Section, First Chair of Sections Council) was established to be awarded to the Section having the most outstanding record of activity and accomplishments throughout the fiscal year. Applications are submitted at the end of the fiscal year (April 30), and the Award is announced during the Annual Meeting.
At this point in time, we feel that we have a very good chance to win the Award this year and are currently locked into at least 40 points. With your help and the help of others, we hope to obtain another 60 plus points toward our eventual goal of 100 points. The maximum possible total is 180 points. Based on past year's scores, our goal of 100 should get us close to the top, if not the top, for this Award. There are certain categories where it will be impossible for us to gain any points; however, there are other categories where we should be able to obtain, if not the maximum, a few points.
There are four categories where general membership can help our Section obtain this award. Those categories are:
The point is that we need your help. If you or anyone you know has done any of the above items, we would certainly appreciate a call so that we can identify and accumulate these points. Please help us reach our goal of 100 points and win the Minasian Award at this year's Annual Meeting.

Education Council: Past, Present, and Future
by Ashok Kumar, Education Council Chair and Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, University of Toledo, Toledo, Ohio
As chair of the Education Council, I would like to share the council's activities from the past year, and also discuss current activities and future plans. First, it is my pleasure to welcome Wayne Davis, Jayme Graham, and Richard Crume as the new chairs of the Higher Education, Public Education, and Training divisions, respectively. Each of these divisions has been very active and productive, building on the contributions of immediate past chairs Mackenzie Davis, Janet Vail, and Inez vanArsdall. Without their dedication it would not have been possible to provide the outstanding programs and services available to our members.
Throughout the year, the Education Council participated in revenue enhancement projects aimed at building a stronger Association. Our foremost priority is to develop and deliver cost-effective, value-added products and services for members. The Education Council continues to actively re-engineer its operations in its quest to function efficiently and effectively.
The Educational Council is working with the Technical Council and the Sections and Chapters Council on projects of mutual interest. For example, members of the council participated in the review of all education-related papers and the development of sessions for the Annual Meeting & Exhibition in St. Louis, MO, this past June.
During the Annual Meeting, Education Council members met to review current and future programs. The council chair met with members of the Sections and Chapters Council during the Annual Meeting to present a report on areas of cooperation in an effort to expand member services. The council's Executive Committee has met nearly every month throughout the year to discuss education-related programs and issues in conference and by e-mail.
PUBLIC EDUCATION DIVISION
The Public Education Division has two committees: the Elementary and Secondary Curriculum Coordinating Committee and the Public Information Committee. Both are active in events at the Annual Meeting and continue to serve as resources for members.
The first committee, which has been renamed the Environmental Education (K-12) Committee to better reflect its activities, works with A&WMA staff and members, the teaching community, and other groups to deliver environmental education programs for elementary and secondary teachers and students.
This is accomplished through chapter/section-initiated teacher training that utilizes the A&WMA Environmental Resource Guides (ERGs). The committee coordinates the development, technical review, dissemination, and marketing of environmental education material provided by A&WMA or partner organizations. As of September 1999, more than 6000 teachers have been trained through A&WMA's teacher-training program. More than 26,000 ERGs have been sold or distributed since the program's launch in 1991. In addition, the Association has received a total of seven awards for the program. New to the array of environmental education materials is the air quality slide show entitled "Understanding Air Quality." This informative tool has been marketed to sections and chapters for their outreach programs; teachers receive them as well.
Highlights of section and chapter participation in the teacher-training program this year again included efforts by A&WMA Past President Paula McLemore and the Gulf Coast Chapter (Houston). Most of the teachers in Houston have been trained, and there is an effort to reach teachers in outlying areas. Recently, the chapter purchased $8000 worth of ERGs to continue its outreach efforts in 1999. Caterpillar continues to be active in teacher workshops in conjunction with members of the Lake Michigan States Section.
The Public Information Committee develops and oversees the distribution of quality technical programs and information directed toward the general public. The vision of the committee is to increase membership to about 10 people representing industry, educators, states (e.g., STAPPA/ALAPCO), media relations, environmental groups (e.g., the Natural Resources Defense Council, American Lung Association), and research (e.g., Physicians for the Environment). Each section/chapter has been encouraged to identify a public information coordinator to serve as the local contact for implementing the public information program.

ANNUAL MEETING HIGHLIGHTS
The Education Council worked very closely with the Annual Meeting's Local Host Committee on specific program areas. The following are some highlights from this year's meeting in St. Louis.
Student program coordinator, Joe Rubino, organized the annual student poster competition, a student career tutorial, local tours, and social activities. Approximately 50 students participated in the student poster competition. First, second, and third place winners received monetary prizes during an awards ceremony. Students attending the Annual Meeting commented that it was both educationally enriching and productive.
The Student Chapter Award competition recognizes student accomplishments and activities. The council chair announced the following winners during the opening ceremony of the Annual Meeting: State University of New York (small-size institution category), James Madison University (medium), and the University of Florida (large); honorable mention went to Michigan State University (large).
A breakfast meeting of the University Education Committee was also held in St. Louis. Dr. Kerry A. Kinney and Dr. Richard L. Corsi of the Civil Engineering Department, University of Texas at Austin, prepared a talk on project-based learning in environmental engineering and science. Dr. Corsi discussed the successes and setbacks associated with project-based learning as it is applied to two courses: air pollution engineering (an undergraduate course) and air pollution control (a graduate course). Participants brought their own project-based learning success and failure stories for discussion. Several technical sessions were held on environmental education, including the poster session "Emerging Techniques in Environmental Engineering and Science Education." All the sessions were well attended.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
The Education Council is looking at future projects to provide better member service. Some examples are given below:
By Joe Rubino, Secretary
The fall months have been a busy time for the St. Louis Section Board of Directors and members of local committees. We kicked off the 1999/2000 season with an interesting presentation by Trigen and St. Louis Air Pollution Control on the permitting of a cogeneration facility at its existing plant in downtown St. Louis. Since lunch was so close to the plant, a brief tour followed the regular meeting. Thank you Trigen for your hospitality. Our October and November meetings focused on air pollution control technologies with Peter Pickard of Callidus Technologies discussing thermal oxidation and Tom Blackwood of Healthsite Associates presenting some intriguing research on flare combustion. We are excited about our meetings after the turn of the century, which will include a perspective on the voluntary self-disclosure audit policy from an EPA representative and a tour at the Hussmann Corporation. Since the October Newsletter, there are several items I would like to report from our Board Meetings:
SUMMARY OF MEETING MINUTES
The board of directors met two times over the last three months to plan the remainder of the 1999/2000 operating year. The treasurer's report identified that the Section, as of November 1999, has a balance of approximately $19,341. The section is still anticipating income from local member dues and meeting sponsorship. Dues statements will be going out to the Section membership within the next month.
Our Section was a sponsor to the fourth annual Mid-America Environmental Engineering Conference held at the University of Missouri at Rolla in October. Thanks to Tim Venverloh (Education Committee) and Matt Shurtliff (Membership Committee) for their involvement. The Board has sponsored one member to be considered for Fellows membership recognition. A&WMA gives several awards and honorary memberships for members who have made significant contributions to the environmental field or the Association. If you are interested in finding out more information on various awards and nomination procedures, please contact a Board Member at the next monthly meeting.
The section is investigating this year's Minasian Award competition. For those who are not familiar, this award is given to the top three performing Sections for outstanding achievement in serving the mission and the membership of the Association. The competition is based on points earned for various section and Association activities. The Board will be focusing on ways to earn the maximum possible points. For more information, please read the Minasian Award Update on page 3.
This writing is only a summary of the Board Meeting Minutes. Please contact Joe Rubino, Secretary, for a copy of the meeting minutes.
MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE REPORT
By Joe Rubino, Committee Chair
A membership committee has been formed within the local Section to strengthen the participation of our members and foster professional development. We recently had our inaugural meeting during which objectives and initial action items were identified. Our objectives include membership retention, new member services, and support for achieving professional certifications or publishing technical articles. However, just like politicians listening to opinions from the public they govern, we would like to hear from the membership on how the Section could contribute to your professional and personal growth. Do not hesitate to email Joe Rubino at jrubino@burnsmcd.com with any thoughts or questions or if you would like to be involved with the committee. We look forward to working with our members to make this an even stronger local Section.

Reprint from A&WMA EM Magazine, October 1999 Feature Article
by Frank Lobb, Clean Air Engineering, Palatine, Illinois, and Peter Westlin, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Air and Radiation, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
INTRODUCTION
The operating permits program developing under Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments requires that the owner of nearly every facility subject to air pollution emissions regulations certify compliance with those regulations at least annually. Certification must be based on monitoring that provides reliable data that are representative of compliance. This article examines the application of sound engineering principles and experience to developing monitoring that satisfies Title V requirements. This monitoring need not be overly burdensome nor require new technology, but instead can build upon measurement practices common to the chemical and other industries.
DRAWING ON ANALOGIES
A question you, as industrial plant owners and operators, are probably asking these days is "What do I have to do to know that my plant is in compliance with my Title V permit?" One way to answer this is with the analogous question, "What do you need to do to be in compliance with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax codes?" The answer to the second surely lies in two key steps. The first is to have a good understanding of the tax laws relative to the specific business and location. This often requires a good tax attorney to identify and interpret the specific requirements of the applicable tax regulations. The second steps to implement an information system to identify, track, document, and report all income and expenses covered by applicable regulations. Designing and operating this system almost certainly requires an accountant with hands-on responsibility for meeting these tax rule requirements in a reliable, defensible, and cost-effective manner. Defensibility is the key for a business complying with tax laws; that is, the accountant's professional accreditation provides credence as to the completeness and accuracy of the records. The accountant's validated documentation of the financial operations of the business assures the business it is complying with the tax codes.
This need for technical expertise to understand and document the performance of your plant or business relative to tax regulations is also key to achieving compliance with the requirements set in environmental regulations and the Title V operating permits program. In the case of the tax code, the accountant has the day-to-day job of ensuring the books properly and accurately record all income and expenditures. Similarly, you need to have a qualified engineer to design and implement a monitoring system that ensures the resulting records will document compliance with the applicable Title V requirements. As with tax regulations, there are no defined steps, tests, or procedures that, in themselves and once complete, allow you to claim compliance independent of your facility's ongoing performance. Rather, you need to have systems in place that are capable of tracking performance relative to compliance over time. You must also be prepared to defend the adequacy of your data on the basis of good science and established engineering practices.
The similarities between Title V and the tax code are not mere coincidence. Congress chose the same model for enforcing limitations on air emissions that it long ago built into the IRS system. Namely, under Title V you, as the owner and operator of a business, are solely responsible for accurately documenting and reporting compliance with all applicable requirements. Should the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) choose to audit a compliance report, it is your responsibility to provide sufficient proof that the report accurately reflects the performance of the plant. Failure to have such proof can be in itself noncompliance.
BUILDING ON CURRENT ENGINEERING PRACTICES
Another question you probably are asking is "Can EPA really expect us to be in compliance all of the time?" Members of the Title V panel discussion at the 92nd A&WMA Annual Meeting & Exhibition in St. Louis, MO, in June raised this concern. In response, Lobb (coauthor and panel member) asked how many of the panel members operated coating facilities. Eight raised their hands. Lobb then asked what percentage of the time they operated their ovens with organic gas concentrations above the lower explosive limit. The eight looked at each other and then hesitantly said never. Lobb pointed out that the same engineering expertise that allowed these operators to control emissions inside their ovens an be used to ensure that the gas being emitted to the environment remained below the required regulatory limit. There were no words of dissent from the panel members or from the audience in the filled room. More to the point, the panel went on to explore ways to apply available engineering technology and expertise to ensure compliance with environmental requirements. Several industry representatives strongly advocated the need to apply available engineering practices, citing experience that demonstrates engineered solutions are not necessarily expensive and, in most cases, can actually reduce costs.
To engineers familiar with monitoring and controlling chemical processes, the importance of applying engineering principles in determining what is being emitted from a process vent comes as no surprise. Engineers also know that there is often no single solution that fits all situations. Unlike large power boilers, chemical processes vary greatly in operating conditions and in the constituents of their emissions. Even plants making the same product in the same company commonly have design differences that can preclude a single approach to monitoring. Much like the accountant determining the best approach to depreciation for a particular business asset, the engineer must select the best form of monitoring for the specific process operations.
For purposes of illustration, compare two similar facilities, Plant A and Plant B, both subject to Title V operating permit requirements, including need to conduct monitoring to show compliance. Plant A operates routinely at about 25% of the allowable emissions limit. Plant B is located in a different part of the country and subject to a much lower emissions limit, or cap. Based on compliance testing results, Plant B has emissions of about 95% of the limit. Is it necessary that the owners of the two plants use the same monitoring?
The answer is clearly no. Because of the larger margin of compliance, the owner of Plant A can afford to design monitoring around maintaining operational parameters within conditions that represent expected operations and compliance, with support from initial and periodic emissions testing. The owner of Plant B, on the other hand, needs a higher level of confidence in the monitoring results because of the very narrow margin of compliance. In this case, the monitoring system probably will require continuous direct emissions measurement or a statistically correlated predictive emissions monitoring system to assure compliance. Monitoring selection through good engineering practices can provide the necessary assurance of compliance at a cost and level of complexity appropriate for the situation. In both cases, the right answer is the result of careful study and professional expertise.
While selecting the most appropriate form of monitoring will in most cases be application-specific, designing suitable monitoring certainly need not be difficult for an engineer experienced in process measurement. For one, the measurement technology has advanced to the point where instruments are available to measure essentially anything in a process or plant. There are engineers who have built entire careers around knowing exactly what technology to use for different measurement applications. Given the specific applications, these engineers can readily provide a list of proven approaches along with procedures for estimating expected performance. Operational parametric and chemical concentration monitoring with total system accuracies on the order of 2% are common. Additionally, essentially all such process monitoring systems have full diagnostic capabilities and digital interfaces for easy communication of data. Consider what would likely occur if additional data were needed to improve process control in your plant. You, as a manager, would very likely assign an engineer to select and install the best instrumental method for obtaining the data and then add the necessary loops to the plant's distributive control system (DCS). The DCS would quickly calculate the applicable process conditions and provide comparisons with desired levels as well as all necessary analysis and reporting. Alarm points would be set and all data readily displayed in the control room. You would require that all important data be downloaded to the plant historian and electronic storage for fast and reliable retrieval years into the future. In short, you would turn to engineering for a reliable and efficient solution to the measurement problem.
CONCLUSION
Much like business owners who have long looked to good accounting practices for day-to-day compliance with the federal tax code, you need to look to engineering to develop and implement monitoring for ongoing compliance with Title V permits. You should recognize that (1) Title V requires you to have adequate monitoring in place when you receive a permit; (2) you are primarily responsible for selecting monitoring adequate for the purpose; (3) technical guidance from EPA and states is not comprehensive partly because of the shift of the burden of proof and related engineering to you; and (4) the adequacy of monitoring data is defensible only if it is produced by reliable applied science and engineering. In summary, the application of sound engineering is at the heart of achieving reliable Title V compliance. You need to find the means of integrating this needed engineering into your compliance process. Doing so will not always be easy, as it represents a significant change from past practices and crosses traditional lines of responsibility. Success will be a measure of how well you can meld what are currently separate organizations (for example, operations, engineering, and environmental) and skills into a single management system-an integrated management system capturing the expertise of both engineering and regulatory professionals. Federal law, public oversight, and competition are likely to allow little else.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Frank Lobb headed DuPont's Title V monitoring program until early 1995. He then went to work for Monsanto and led industry's efforts to clarify the role of engineering in the compliance assurance monitoring (CAM) rule and periodic monitoring. He currently works for Clean Air Engineering. Peter Westlin is an engineer with EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, Emissions Measurement Center, and is best known as the author of the CAM rule. Lobb and Westlin have represented different sides of the Title V monitoring debate; however, they have long agreed on many of the important aspects of demonstrating compliance. Their common ground is a shared understanding of the important role engineering must play in sources developing monitoring adequate for certifying Title V compliance. In addition, they have long shared the belief that effective solutions are readily available and need not be expensive nor unusually complicated. Lobb and Westlin are working together to organize the A&WMA specialty conference "Managing Title V Compliance," scheduled for February 13, 2000, in New Orleans, LA.
