Permitting and Compliance

Our philosophy is that compliance starts with a thorough understanding of the facility process and operations, the air basin status, and regulations, and ends with well-designed and practical permit and/or compliance plans.

• Permitting. Air Sciences works closely with our clients to obtain “workable” air permits (e.g., PSD, Title V, Acid Rain, minor, and synthetic minor permits), which allow for maximum operational flexibility while ensuring compliance with each applicable regulation (e.g., BACT, MACT, RACT, CAM, NSPS, NESHAP, etc.).
  
  
• Compliance. Air Sciences has assisted numerous clients with a variety of compliance issues. These issues range from resolving violations identified by the agency or through an Air Sciences audit to streamlining compliance monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting procedures to minimize the burden on day-to-day operations. Notices of violations do not have to turn into fines or shutdown orders. We routinely work with the agency and our clients to develop plans and schedules to address the violation in a manner that satisfies the agency and allows production to continue.
  
  

• Tribal sources. Air Sciences has worked with over a dozen Indian Tribes to obtain federal air permits for tribally-owned industrial facilities. Because Tribes operate under their own government, not that of the state they are in, they have specific permitting requirements and circumstances. Our services also include customized air quality training for tribal environmental professionals to help each Tribe develop a self-sustaining Air Quality Program.
