The Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District is recruiting for our Air Quality Engineer series to perform assigned District, State and Federal air quality regulatory programs and comprehensive engineering reviews of proposed and existing emission sources to ensure compliance with local, State and Federal air quality requirements. This Air Quality Engineer position will process permit applications, prepare engineering evaluations, write permits and technical reports, review/witness air quality source tests, review and calculate air quality emission inventories, conduct inspections, and other air quality work as required. Incumbents are characterized by the responsibility for performing air quality engineering assignments requiring the use of judgment and initiative to develop solutions to problems and the interpretation and application of general policies and rules.
The Air Quality Engineer I performs specialized air quality permit engineering work under general supervision, and is capable of independent work with good initiative and good time management skills. Air Quality Engineer I performs the less complex engineering assignments while acquiring the necessary air quality engineering skills and knowledge to qualify for promotion to the Air Quality Engineer II level.
The Air Quality Engineer II performs specialized air quality permit engineering work under limited supervision, and is characterized as an independent worker with strong initiative and excellent time management. Air Quality Engineer II is distinguished from Air Quality Engineer III in that the latter is responsible for performing more difficult work, with greater independence of action, and less supervision.
The Air Quality Engineer III performs specialized air quality permit engineering work under minimal supervision, and is characterized as a sound, independent worker with very strong initiative and superb time management. Air Quality Engineer III also functions as a technical mentor within the Permit Engineering section. Air Quality Engineer III is distinguished from Air Quality Engineer II in that the incumbent is responsible for performing the most difficult work, with greater independence of action, and little to no supervision.
The District, headquartered in Victorville, provides air quality compliance, engineering, and monitoring for the Mojave Desert Air Basin.
Education and Experience
The Air Quality Engineer positions require the possession of: a bachelor’s degree in chemical, mechanical, environmental, metallurgical, petroleum, or other related engineering field; and/or, a bachelor’s degree in environmental science, biology, chemistry, geology, health, mathematics, meteorology, physics, or planning (or directly related physical or environmental science field or discipline); and/or, any combination of professional regulatory certifications, or closely related fields that could likely provide the desired knowledge and abilities (educational equivalency justification may be required) such as, increasingly responsible experience with relevant regulatory interpretation, enforcement, air pollution control and related fields.

Air Quality Engineer I/II/III
Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District
Thank you for considering applying for the Air Quality Engineer Position. The purpose of this questionnaire is to help us gauge your interpretation and comprehension skills, as well as, how you present written work. Additional information regarding this supplemental can be found at: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-40/chapter-I/subchapter-C/part-60/subpart-OOO
Background: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issues federal rules called New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) that implement sections of the Clean Air Act (CAA), and are issued for sources of industry which EPA has listed because they cause, or contribute significantly to, air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare.
The MDAQMD implements these federal rules set by EPA via District permits. There are currently over 70 different source categories with NSPS regulations implemented by the MDAQMD.
One of these is called the Nonmetallic Mineral Processing New Source Performance Standards (40 CFR 60, Subpart OOO), which applies to new, modified, and reconstructed affected facilities at plants that process any of the following 18 nonmetallic minerals:
crushed and broken stone,
sand and gravel,
clay,
rock salt,
gypsum,
sodium compounds,
pumice,
gilsonite,
talc and pyrophyllite,
boron,
barite,
fluorospar,
feldspar,
diatomite,
perlite,
vermiculite,
mica, and
kyanite.
The affected facilities are each crusher, grinding mill, screening operation, bucket elevator, belt conveyor, bagging operation, storage bin, and enclosed truck or railcar loading station. The pollutant regulated by this NSPS is particulate matter. These facilities provide materials for a wide variety of industries, including the chemical and construction industries.
This NSPS rule is included with this questionnaire. Please use it to answer the following questions under each scenario:
Scenario 1: The source is a fixed sand and gravel plant capable of processing 100 tons per hour of product that was reconstructed on October 10, 1991.
Question 1: What particulate matter standards apply to this source per this NSPS? And when must this source achieve those standards?
Scenario 2: The source is a portable, pumice plant capable of processing 10 tons per hour of product that was modified on June 19, 2001.
Question 2: What reporting and recordkeeping requirements are required by this NSPS?
Scenario 3: The source is a fixed, gypsum plant capable of processing 20 tons per hour of product that was constructed on December 5, 2020 that uses the following emissions controls: 1) wet suppression on all transfer points; and; 2) a baghouse with a bag leak detection system on the screener to control emissions.
Question 3: What monitoring requirements does this NSPS require for this source?
