The Clean Air Act and its amendments have substantially changed the compliance requirements placed on industrial facilities, and will continue to do so for several years to come. The completion of an environmental audit by Air Tox, in conjunction with the development of accurate emission estimates from each source will assist your facility in developing a favorable compliance strategy.
Compliance with the accidental release provisions of Title III can be particularly daunting for small businesses. Under these provisions, facilities must quantify probable accidental releases, install process and/or control technology for the mitigation of these probable releases, and have existing emergency response, operating and maintenance procedures in place should a release occur.
To develop a successful regulatory compliance strategy for a facility, Air Tox utilizes the following three-phase approach:
PHASE I: Site visit, walk-through audit, and data collection
PHASE II: Comprehensive review of all production processes and calculation of actual and potential emissions from each source at the facility for all regulated pollutants.
PHASE III: Using the emission inventory data from Phase II, each facility is evaluated for compliance with current permits or regulations, followed by a compliance review in relation to new and up-coming regulations.
