Air Quality Compliance
Air Operating Permitting
Federal, State and counties require Air Operating Permit applications for facilities with any air pollution source following construction or significant modification to the existing pollution source of the facility.
These are sometimes referred to as "preconstruction" or "new source review" permits. These air operating permits document how air pollution sources will satisfy compliance with emission concentration limits and other pertinent requirements.
Some of the industrial and commercial facilities required to obtain air operating permits include:
- printing facilities,
- laboratories,
- pharmacy research facilities,
- cement plants,
- chemical manufacturing,
- landfills,
- water treatment plants,
- auto paint shops,
- sand blasting and boat manufacturing.
