The Meteorology & Air Quality Group is responsible for environmental air quality issues and provides regulatory and environmental surveillance leadership to meet Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) air quality obligations and public assurance needs. As the institutional group responsible for federal and state air quality regulatory agency interaction, RRES-MAQ partners with LANL's operating entities to develop and implement compliance assurance programs. This activity includes the drafting of air permits, monitoring of non-radioactive and radioactive air emissions, meteorological measurement and dose modeling, regulatory review, emergency management support, and emissions estimate engineering. The group is responsible for the management and oversight of extensive environmental surveillance networks to quantitatively evaluate the impact of radionuclide emissions from Laboratory operations. The group also serves as the Office of Institutional Coordination (OIC) for Laboratory Implementation Requirements (LIR) and Laboratory Implementation Guidance (LIG) for the Air Quality program.
