Integrating regulatory
experience and various levels of technical support allows AEC
to offer efficient and cost effective permitting services for
new sources and modifications to existing sources. AEC prepares
air quality permit applications and related evaluations for:
- Title V and
Non-Title V Operating Permits
- New Sources
and Modifications to Existing Sources
- Significant
and Minor Permit Revisions
- Environmental
Impact Statements (EIS)
- Sources of Hazardous
Air Pollutants (Title III of the Clean Air Act)
- Portable Sources
Some changes to
existing sources may be exempt from permitting or may only
require submittal of a notification to the permitting agency.
AEC has the expertise and understanding of the federal and
state regulations necessary to make these demonstrations and
to assist you in preparing the proper notifications to ensure
continued compliance.
| Flexible Permit Development |
Facility operators
often find regulatory responsibilities burdensome and complex.
Air quality permit applications must provide the information
necessary for an agency to issue permits which allow operational
flexibility in complying with applicable requirements. Depending
on the type of permit required, the application preparation
may include any of the following:
- Pre-application
consultation to determine the long-term operating needs
of the facility
- Development
of a permit plan
- Development
of emission unit and facility descriptions
- Preparation
and documentation of an emissions inventory
- Determination
of the applicable permitting process and permitting requirements
- Utilization
of netting and offsetting strategies to shift to a more
desirable permitting process
- Identification
of all applicable requirements
- Assessment and
documentation of the current compliance status
- Development
of plans for demonstrating continued compliance
- Optimization
of the application
- Development
of a suggested draft permit
Negotiating the
conditions to a permit can be key to demonstrating compliance
later. AEC personnel utilize regulatory and technical expertise
to assure that final permit conditions are required by regulations,
and that compliance demonstrations of these conditions are
both practical and cost effective.
