Applicability of Air Permitting and Compliance
Air quality permitting and compliance are regulated under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state agencies. Facilities that emit regulated air pollutants, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), and particulate matter (PM), may need a permit based on their emission levels. Major sources require a Title V permit, while smaller sources may qualify for a minor (synthetic) permit or an exemption.
Compliance includes monitoring emissions, maintaining control technologies, and submitting reports to regulatory agencies. Facilities must adhere to New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) to limit pollution. Proper permitting ensures legal operation, protects public health, and helps industries avoid fines and enforcement actions.
