Description:
The report discusses services provided by EPA's Control Technology Center (CTC) during FY90. he CTC, developed by EPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD) and Office of Air Planning Quality and Standards (OAQPS), is an innovative technical assistance program for state and local air pollution agencies and EPA's regional offices. ince the CTC's inception, its program has expanded to address more than just air toxics issues. It now addresses emission source and control technology problems associated with air toxics, particulate matter, oxides of sulfur and nitrogen, carbon monoxide, lead, PM10, and volatile organic compounds. he CTC is designed to be flexible so that it can respond quickly to many client need as they arise. he CTC provides three categories of services: telephone HOTLINE assistance (919/541-0800), direct engineering assistance, and technical guidance. he HOTLINE permits easy access for state and local agencies to EPA personnel who can provide prompt assistance in a variety of ways, including consultations, references to pertinent literature, and access to EPA technical data and analyses. irect engineering assistance is short-term, averaging about 3 months and providing technical assistance without regard to national utility. Technical guidance is longer term, up to a year, broader in scope, and with national applications.
