Regulator Comments

I am sure you as the reader know it is hard to pin down a regulator or get them say anything so some of the comments were made to us directly and not in writing. When these are provided in writing we have provided the name of the person.

What regulators say about our schools:

"The lecture was short and to the point. I did not think you could cover all the material in two hours, but you did." - Oklahoma regulator who audited our lecture and field in 2001

"The classroom (2 hour lecture format) covered the necessary aspects of visible emissions training, better known as smoke school or EPA Reference Method 9. The certification runs were performed properly and I would no hesitation in accepting the certification of any person that attended and passed both your classroom training and certifications runs." - Bruce Gaylord, Jefferson County Air Pollution Control District

"In General the smoke generator and the school appear to be in compliance with the provisions of EPA Reference Method 9 contained in Appendix A of 40 CFR Part 60.." - the last Federal Audit published in review of Compliance Assurance Associates, Inc. Richard Johnson, P.E.

"We are going to the four hour lecture format and following your example" Alabama State Regulator --- PS ……how can you make the smoke so stable????

"Thank you for the opportunity to attend the 40 CFR 60 Appendix A, Reference Method 9 training October 17, 2008 at your facility. The instructor Mr. Mick Kossow was excellent. His presentation was straightforward, relevant and clear." - Felicia Johnson Engineer Memphis - Shelby County Health Department Pollution Control Section
