James Red has over 22 years of experience as an air quality modeling expert.   He began his career in 1987 with the Texas Air Control Board (now part of the Texas Commission for Environmental Quality), where he performed modeling, provided modeling guidance to permit applicants and consultants, reviewed modeling submitted in support of permits, and testified as an expert witness in several contested case permit hearings.   His responsibilities also included maintaining and updating the Texas Episodic Model (TEM).  James was involved in the agency’s first steps into photochemical grid modeling, specifically the Urban Airshed Model (UAM) and its associated Emissions Processing System (EPS).  James later supervised the 12-person Permit Modeling team, followed by the SIP Meteorological Modeling team and the SIP (Photochemical) Modeling team.  He served as technical project manager for the Beaumont-Port Arthur and Northeast Texas ozone SIP revisions.   He has a rare combination of experience in both plume modeling and photochemical eulerian grid modeling.

In 2005, James became an air modeling consultant and provided dispersion modeling for a diverse group of projects, including a major refinery expansion, a liquefied natural gas terminal, ethanol plants, asphalt plants, petrochemical plants, petroleum coke production, and waste management facilities.  He joined Oris Solutions/BEE-Line Software in 2009 and is the technical support contact for BEE-Line's popular BEEST modeling software.

Jenny Danieau works on the Air Quality Policy and Program Development Team in the Transportation Department of the North Central Texas Council of Governments.  Her past work includes coordination of the 2005 and 2007 Conformity determinations, respectively, for the Dallas-Fort Worth Mobility Transportation Plans and associated Transportation Improvement Programs.  She now serves as the lead for projects that improve air quality, such as the Electric Vehicles North Texas program.   Jenny is also responsible for the development of various transportation-related programs that involve technologies to reduce pollution and mitigate climate change.

Jenny’s education includes a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology and Masters Degree in Environmental Science and Engineering, both from the University of Texas at Arlington.  She is currently working to complete her Ph.D. in Environmental and Earth Sciences.
