CEQA Air Quality and Green House Gas Analyses

This class will provide an overview of the air quality requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The CEQA air quality requirements have been changing and becoming increasingly challenging over the past few years. This course will discuss the regulatory background and framework for Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) CEQA compliance. We will then review and discuss the elements required to prepare the Air Quality and GHG Sections essential to a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) or Environmental Impact Report (EIR). We will detail the methodologies and practices for quantifying emissions and performing air dispersion modeling and health risk assessments.
