The Regional Modeling and Emission Inventory (RMEI) Unit conducts and reviews air quality analyses to meet Federal and State requirements for programs such as state implementation plans, mobile source controls, and NEPA actions. These analyses include photochemical and air quality impact modeling, emission modeling, meteorological analysis, and emission inventory development. Work spans near‑field, far‑field, and regional scales. Emission inventories cover multiple pollutants and include on‑road and non‑road mobile sources, area sources, and small stationary sources outside the Division’s Air Pollution Emission Notice program.

Meteorological tasks involve evaluating model outputs for regional modeling. The unit also provides technical products and analyses to internal and external customers.

This position serves as an air quality emission inventory specialist for regional applications, with a primary focus on developing the oil and gas emission inventory for Colorado, especially the Denver nonattainment area. It applies scientific research methods, theories, and principles to identify, study, and solve air pollution problems through the design, development, application, and validation of emission inventory techniques. As part of an atmospheric modeling team, the role supports the creation and implementation of integrated air quality modeling systems, using deterministic and/or stochastic methods to assess compliance with state and federal air quality standards.

Additional duties may be assigned as needed, consistent with the position’s purpose and the Unit’s mission.
