Air quality permits are full of a long and complicated list of reporting, recordkeeping, monitoring, testing, and operating requirements. Your facility specific requirements can be buried in general provisions, making it more difficult to see what exactly your facility needs to do to maintain complete compliance with the air quality regulations. This applies to you whether your facility operates under a True Minor Source Permit, Synthetic Minor Source Permit, or a Title V Major Source Permit.
An Air Quality Compliance Evaluation can ensure your facility is complying with all aspects of your air permit. With state agencies ramping up onsite inspections in the post-Covid era, it is important to know your facility has no deficiencies in compliance. State agencies will check for all required records, monitoring, testing, operating limits, required reporting, and permitted equipment while onsite, with any deficiencies resulting in possible violations and fines.
Conversion Technology Inc. (CTI) offers an Air Quality Compliance Evaluation consisting of a review of the following:
- The facility’s air permit conditions, including any explanations to facility staff to ensure you understand all compliance requirements.
- All air permit records, comparing them to the required recordkeeping as stated in your air permit.
- All onsite monitors to ensure sufficient data collection.
- Any testing requirements for stack emissions from the facility.
- Any operating or emissions limits established in the facility permit.
- Any reporting requirements, including a review of past submittals to ensure all required data is being included in the reports.
- All onsite, air pollutant-generating equipment and air pollution control devices to ensure that all applicable equipment is included in the current permit.
The Air Quality Compliance Evaluation will outline every permit condition, identify any gaps in compliance, and provide recommendations for compliance. In addition, CTI can help determine whether any upcoming projects will require any permitting actions, such as an air permit modification. Our evaluation will cover all the topics that a state agency inspection would cover in order to help you stay prepared.
So if it has been a while since the last state agency inspection, you’ve added or removed equipment at your facility since your last air permit, or you just want to make sure you are in complete compliance with your air permit, we recommend an Air Quality Compliance Evaluation as soon as possible.
CTI has decades of experience working with facilities and state agencies on air quality compliance. For more information on Air Quality Compliance Evaluations or if you have any questions about your Air Permit, please contact us at (770) 263-6330 or cti@conversiontechnology.com.
