EXPERIENCE

Mr. Lu has over seven years of experience in air emission estimations and emissions inventories, air dispersion modeling, air quality impact analysis, and other air permitting projects. Mr. Lu has extensive experience in performing air dispersion modeling studies and the preparation of air toxic health risk assessments (HRA), applications for permits to construct and operate (PTC/O), application for certifications (AFC), environmental impact reports (EIR), new source reviews (NSR), prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) analysis, and other environmental studies. Mr. Lu has also prepared air quality impact analyses, including CO and PM10 Hot Spot Analyses, for various traffic and construction related projects.

City of Vernon Malburg Generating Station Simple Cycle Project - Performed air dispersion modeling, health risk assessment, impact analysis, and helped in preparation of an air quality analysis as part of an AFC.

City of Vernon Malburg Generating Station Combined Cycle Project - Performed air dispersion modeling, health risk assessment, and impact analysis as part of an application for PTC/O and AFC. Coordinated the preparation of the entire AFC, including follow-up submittals and other supporting reports.

City of Pasadena Broadway/Glenarm Generating Station Modification, Fatal Flaw Analysis - Performed air dispersion modeling and impact analysis to determine the feasibility of the project.

City of Pasadena Glenarm Generating Station Expansion Project - Performed air dispersion modeling, health risk assessment modeling, and impact analysis as part of an application for PTC/O.

Los Angeles Department of Water & Power (LADWP) Valley Electrical Generating Station Combined Cycle Project - Performed air dispersion modeling, health risk assessment modeling, and impact analysis as part of an application for PTC/O. Prepared visibility analysis as part of PSD requirements. Also helped in the preparation of CEQA documents and change or permit conditions.

LADWP Headworks Wells Remediation Project - Prepared emission calculations and health risk assessment of future treatment facility.

Risk Analysis for Berkeley Laboratory Hazardous Waste Handling Facility – Performed emissions inventory, emissions calculations, and risk analysis for updated hazardous materials handling at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Hazardous Waste Handling facility.

Goat Ranch EIR – Performed air quality analysis for construction of a new quarry in Northern California.

Tinker Air Force Base Air Emissions Inventory Tools – Developed Microsoft Access Database to aid in air emissions calculations for annual emissions inventory reporting.

McChord Air Force Base Air Emissions Inventory – Developed Microsoft Access Database to aid in air emissions calculations for annual emissions inventory reporting.

Misawa Air Force Base Lead Based Paint Report – Developed Microsoft Access Database for reporting of test results from lead study.

SR-55/Newport Blvd. Improvements Project – Performed local air quality (CO and PM10) hot spots analysis due to vehicle emissions from the implementation of the improvement project.

Gerald Desmond Bridge Replacement Project – Performed air emission calculations using EMFAC and prepared air quality impact analyses for local and regional impacts including CO and PM10 Hot Spot analyses.

Sylmar Compressor Station Blowdown Study Report – Performed air dispersion modeling to determine the best placement of blowdown stack to prevent natural gas concentration build-ups reaching flammability limits.

American Petroleum Institute Analysis of LDAR Data in Southern California Refineries - Constructed ACCESS database for refinery component leaks using LDAR data [SCAQMD Rule 1173] collected from seven major refineries for five years [11.5 million screening values]. Performed extensive analyses of those data to demonstrate the distribution of leaks. Provided the data input to three American Petroleum Association reports and co-authored two peer-reviewed papers on this subject presented at A&WMA Annual meetings.

Toxics Hotspots Health Risk Assessments for Various Confidential Clients - Performed dispersion modeling and provided PowerPoint visuals for legal testimony in defense of three Proposition 65 lawsuits.

PremAIR Testing Team. As part of a joint venture between Ford Motor Corp., Engelhard West, Inc., and the South Coast Air Quality Management District, project was to road test three cars equipped with a new smog reducing technology. This technology, instead of reducing smog emissions from the car, would remove ground level ozone to prevent smog from forming in the upper atmosphere. Duties included collecting data, finding and resolving problems related to data collection, and presenting findings to project administrators.
