This meteorologist has over 40 years of experience specializing in air quality permitting, regulatory compliance, and atmospheric analysis. Their work focuses on evaluating air pollution impacts, interpreting regulatory requirements, and assessing compliance with federal, state, and local air quality standards in litigation and dispute matters. They hold a Master of Science and Bachelor of Science in meteorology, supporting technical analysis of emissions behavior, atmospheric dispersion, and regulatory applicability.

Their practice centers on New Source Review air quality permitting, including Prevention of Significant Deterioration and non-attainment programs, as well as Title V operating permits and air construction permits for major industrial sources. This includes development of emission inventories for regulated pollutants and greenhouse gases, evaluation of permitting strategies for facilities such as cement, paint, aluminum, lead, and fossil and nuclear utilities, and detailed regulatory analysis to determine applicability of federal standards including New Source Performance Standards, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, and Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting requirements. Their technical evaluations also involve air pollution control technology assessments, including Best Available Control Technology, Reasonably Available Control Technology, Maximum Achievable Control Technology, and Lowest Achievable Emission Rate determinations, along with dispersion modeling studies to demonstrate compliance with ambient air quality standards and air toxic thresholds.

Their work also includes assessment of visibility impairment, deposition impacts, and air quality related values in Class I areas, along with environmental impact assessments and air pathway analyses for Superfund applications. They evaluate monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements for compliance programs and have prior experience providing litigation consultation, deposition testimony, and courtroom testimony in matters involving air quality permitting, regulatory compliance, and environmental impact disputes. Their professional background includes leading air quality permitting projects and serving in a technical advisory capacity for complex regulatory and compliance evaluations, including collaboration with the Maryland Department of the Environment and the MDNR Power Plant Research Program.
