EPA air permitting is a regulatory process that ensures industrial facilities comply with federal and state air quality standards by obtaining permits for their air emissions. It’s necessary to protect public health and the environment from harmful pollutants emitted during operations.
If your organization emits certain pollutants into the air as part of its operations, it likely requires an EPA air permit. The need for a permit depends on factors such as the type and quantity of pollutants emitted, the size and type of facility, and regulatory requirements in your location.
There are various types of EPA air permits, including Title V permits, New Source Review (NSR) permits, Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permits, and Minor Source permits. The specific type of permit required depends on factors such as facility size, emissions levels, and the type of pollutants emitted.
Environmental consultants have expertise in navigating complex regulatory requirements and can assist your organization in every step of the permitting process. They can conduct compliance assessments, prepare permit applications, liaise with regulatory agencies, and provide ongoing support to ensure continued compliance.
