<p class="MsoNormal"><big><span style="color:black">The Data and </span>Modeling
Unit develops emission inventories and applies advanced air
quality models to simulate the transport and fate of pollutants
in the atmosphere. These modeling activities are critical to
allow the Planning and Regulatory Development Unit to develop
emission controls for Georgia’s State Implementation Plan (SIP)
to meet EPA’s National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for
ozone and PM2.5 and “reasonable progress” goals for regional
haze. The incumbent will be expected to present work products at
local, regional, and national meetings and conferences.</big><span
