The ULend program is a collaborative approach for fixing compliance issues before they become a regulatory problem. The program focuses on small oil and gas producers who might not be able to afford the kind of expensive equipment that could help them identify and repair leaks early.
Read MoreULend is a partnership between Utah DEQ, TriCounty Health, and USU to make a leak detection camera available for use by Utah’s oil and gas industry.
Read MoreThis study will provide wintertime meteorological observations, analysis, and forecasts in support of the concurrent Wasatch Front Ammonia and Particulate Chloride Observation (WaFACO) Study.
Read MoreThe study will conduct ambient measurements centered around gaseous ammonia (NH3) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) during the winter of 2018/2019 and the summer of 2019.
Read MoreFor the primary purposes of better validating Utah DAQ’s photochemical modeling, UDAQ will do more frequent speciation of wintertime PM2.5 filters. EPA’s Chemical Speciation Network (CSN) requirements specify either one-in-three or one-in-six day speciation of PM2.5 at three Utah locations (Hawthorne, Bountiful, and Lindon).
Read MoreUtah’s Wasatch Front experiences poor air quality episodes during both summer and winter due to its unique weather, topography, and pollutant emissions. During winter, inversions trap unhealthy concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), while high pressure during summer leads to elevated ozone (O3) levels.
