How to Obtain an Air Pollution Construction Permit
In December U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) completed new rules that changed the way they look at “nontraditional” fuels. Materials that can meet the newly revised standards are defined as fuels under the regulations. Materials that don’t meet the fuel definition can still be used to generate energy, but combustion of these materials is treated as incineration.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Control
Most of the time, people think about Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions with carbon dioxide, which is the most common of the GHGs. While fairly typical, carbon dioxide isn’t the only GHG U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates. Since EPA has begun regulating GHG emissions under its Clean Air Act authority, sources of emissions from others may require add-on air pollution control systems.

EPA Increases Ammonia Emissions Control
Concern about ammonia emissions in the air and the water continues to grow, both officially and unofficially. As U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) moves to further reduce ammonia concentrations in surface waters, common water treatment methods transform what had been a water pollution problem into an air pollution issue.

The Oxidizer Permit Protection Myth
It is often assumed an air pollution control permit is enough to maintain emission compliance. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. EPA is more aggressively pursuing air pollution control systems failures creating millions of dollars in penalities and fines for organizations.
