TAMS Services

Services:
In addition to the classroom-style training courses offered by ITEP at the TAMS Center, the Center offers a number of technical-support services to assist tribes in their air quality programs.

• Technical Assistance is provided by the TAMS Center in a number of ways. The TAMS Center has technical experts on staff available via phone or email for questions and other air monitoring-related requests. The TAMS Center will make an effort to accommodate every request, whether it is through referral to another organization, hands-on training at a tribal site or at the TAMS Center, or through an exchange with another tribe or state/local organization.
• The TAMS Center provides an equipment loan program service to tribes. The listing of equipment for loan can be accessed HERE. The equipment is typically loaned to tribes on an annual basis via an Equipment Loan Agreement with the TAMS Center. The equipment loan agreements can be extended on an annual basis depending on the tribe's needs.
