Tribal Air Quality

Emissions Inventory Advanced - 2017

This online training series is not an "informational course," but is a rigorous course composed of a series of modules in which participants complete work products, guided by ITEP instructional staff and other course participants. Each module contains video presentations, homework assignments, discussions, and one-on-one assistance.

This course is designed only for those tribes needing to generate an emissions inventory. Enrollment must be pre-approved by ITEP staff. Please email Angelique at Angelique.Luedeker@nau.edu to determine if you are eligible to enroll at this time or if you are interested in the self-paced option.

Emissions Inventory (EI) Advanced online training series is equivalent to 12 continuing education units (CEUs) and requires approximately 120 hours of total learning to begin developing a Level 2 or 3 emissions inventory. 

This online training series is for participants who need to gather data from sources on tribal lands (for example, amount of gasoline sold at gas stations, cords of wood used in wood stoves, miles of unpaved road, gallons of propane purchased to heat community center, etc.) and use the data to calculate emissions from those sources to begin developing a Level 2 or 3 EI. Participants should have completed the EI Fundamentals training or have prior experience developing EIs.
