Make Sure That Your Industrial Facility Is in Compliance With Air Quality Regulations

Whether you’re building an industrial facility, expanding production or modifying operation, you’ll probably be subject to air quality permitting requirements. Industrial sources must be designed, constructed, and operated to be in accordance with air quality regulations.

Air quality permitting requirements exist within a range of regulatory rules. Each permit has requirements such as emission quantification, control technology evaluations, air quality analyses (including regulatory dispersion modeling), ambient air and meteorological monitoring, emission standards applicability, and compliance assurance.

Detailed Toxic Release Inventory Reporting

Earn More About TRI (Toxic Release Inventory)

Toxic Release Inventory r eporting, also known as Form R reporting is required by the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act. More facilities than ever are reaching out to learn what it is or if their facility should be reporting. Most importantly, they’re asking what kind of trouble they could be facing for not reporting.

Data from the TRI reports are published in a publicly available database to provide communities with information on the hazardous chemicals that are released in their community. Facilities that manufacture or use greater than a threshold quantity of reportable chemicals are required to report by July 1 of each year. AG Consulting provides a threshold analysis and completion of required reports for its clients.

The EPA has actively enforced compliance with this program and fines can be assessed for non-reporting. Most instances of non-reporting are caused by an incomplete threshold analysis. Fines can be avoided if companies complete the required report and self-disclose the violation to the EPA. Contact AG Consulting to ensure you remain in compliance with TRI reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

Make Sure You Report the Toxic Chemicals at Your Facility

You might not know if you have any toxic chemicals at your facility. Here at AG Consulting, LLC, Anthony can go through your inventory and let you know what needs to be reported. There are so many that you might not even know which should be listed.

Even in the reporting, thresholds are not exceeded, the law requires that documentation of the threshold analysis be maintained at your facility for three years. As your environmental consultant, AG Consulting can provide you with the records required to prove compliance. The inventory reporting is done annually, and it’s due July 1st of every year. Anthony will do it for you utilizing the EPA software and ensure that the reporting to the State is also completed. You will be provided with a customized documentation package to comply with the recordkeeping requirements.

Thorough Tier II Chemical Inventory Reporting

Let Your Community Know Which Chemicals Are Being Used or Stored at Your Facility

Tier II Reporting, also called Community Right-to-Know Reporting, is a regulation that every facility that stores greater than a threshold quantity of a hazardous chemical needs

 to adhere to. Reports must be submitted to local emergency responders, the local emergency planning committee and the State Emergency Response Commission.

This reporting requirement is to give public and government agencies the information on what hazardous materials are being used or stored at your facility. New reporting requirements go into effect for the 2017 reporting year.

Professional on duty

Reports are due on March 1st of each year and some states have developed more stringent rules for themselves and reporting requirements. AG Consulting can provide the reporting and associated risk management plans required by your jurisdiction, including the New York City Community Right-to-Know Law.

Why Is a Chemical Inventory Report Necessary?

Imagine you were a firefighter on your way to fight a fire. You pull up, and there are giant tanks, all unmarked, all on fire. They could be full of water, which would make your job easier. Conversely, they could be full of diesel fuel, which could make the situation extremely volatile very quickly.

Keep Up With Air Emission Regulations

When dealing with air emissions, the Title V program is an enforceable permit program for substantial sources of air emissions.

Every 5 years, facilities must submit permit renewal applications. These records must be updated for applicability and address changes at emission units in each facility. If there are any changes in regulations, Anthony at AG Consulting will let you know and act accordingly. The same goes for any construction changes.

So, now it’s up to the facility to keep up with these regulations. (The onus used to be on the regulatory agency.) As you probably know, there’s a significant amount of work to keep in accordance with these permits and recording data. Anthony has done hundreds of Title V permitting applications. His experience and knowledge maximize efficiency. The end result is operational flexibility and reporting efficiency.
