The Mid-Atlantic Quality Assurance Workshop is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, February 7 through Thursday, February 9, 2023, at the Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center.  The 55th Mid-Atlantic Quality Assurance Workshop (QAW) is a three-day annual event that has been held each year since 1967 and is dedicated to highway materials and quality control/assurance of highway materials.  The workshop includes two main sessions covering a wide range of highway topics as well as five all-day breakout sessions, devoted to the latest information on highway materials in the areas of asphalt, concrete, metals, maintenance, soils, and aggregates.  The states of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia make up the Mid-Atlantic QAW. Sponsorship of the Workshop is rotated yearly. For registration and additional information, visit www.MidAtlanticQAW.org.

The Asphalt Pavement Association is pleased to offer, for the 29th year, a voluntary technical services program to assist in completing the 2022 CES. Emission point sources, such as facilities/plants/activities, are required to submit their CES Emission Inventory electronically using the Division of Air Quality’s (DAQ)State and Local Emissions Inventory System (SLEIS) computer program no later than May 1, 2023.  Similar to previous years, the DAQ is expected to require the inclusion of the condensable particulate matter (PM) fraction of total PM. Condensable PM is the fraction of PM which is vaporous in a vent stack that becomes solid in the atmosphere. If your facility has fuel-burning emissions, condensable PM may impact the total PM emissions. For each participant who requests the service, Potesta & Associates, Inc. will send a request for information required to prepare the annual emissions estimates.  Participation in this program is voluntary and pricing is listed in the online information.  For additional information please contact John Crane at jcrane@asphaltwv.com.
