The Modeling and Emission Inventory (MEI) Unit is located in Air Pollution Control Division and performs and reviews air quality-related analyses for a variety of air programs to meet Federal and State regulatory requirements, including state implementation plans, stationary source permitting, mobile source control programs, National Environmental Policy Act actions, emergency response, and hazardous waste site studies. The analyses include air quality impact modeling, emission modeling, meteorological analysis, and emission inventory development. The spatial scales of analyses include near-field, far-field, and regional scale. Emission inventory work includes the compilation and development of comprehensive multi-pollutant inventories suitable for use in air quality modeling and conformity. Emission inventory development work includes on-road and non-road mobile sources, area sources, and small stationary sources not included in the Division's Air Pollution Emission Notice
program
. Meteorological applications include review of the adequacy of meteorology for near-field modeling and evaluation of output from meteorological models for regional modeling purposes. This unit also exists to provide technical work products and analysis to internal and external customers.
What You'll Be Doing:
This position supervises the Modeling and Emission Inventory Unit within the Technical Services Program. In addition to the supervisory responsibilities, this position works with the staff authorities and work leads in the unit and contributes senior-level air quality–related modeling expertise and experience to performing and supporting technical analyses that are completed by the unit in a timely manner, following applicable regulations and guidance. This position also provides updates and advice to division management on issues being worked on by the Unit, as needed. The position ensures that the Unit provides strong customer service, and promotes collaborative and constructive relationships with internal and external customers, to help achieve the Department's mission of protecting public health and environment, in an effective and efficient manner. This position also oversees the development and maintenance of tools that support air quality modeling, atmospheric data
analys
