South Dakota Air Permitting: How CPI Supports Your Compliance Process
CPI designs and builds oxidizer systems — we are not a permitting firm, and every South Dakota facility's permit obligations depend on details specific to that site. Engaging an air permitting professional who is familiar not just with federal requirements, but with South Dakota's air permitting rules, is strongly recommended.
Here's how CPI fits into that process:
- Technical data your permit application will need. Emission rates, destruction/removal efficiency, stack parameters, fuel usage, and control technology specifications, delivered as part of every proposal.
- A design matched to your compliance target. Our applications engineering team coordinates with the parties responsible for your permitting so the oxidizer is sized to meet your permit's destruction efficiency and reporting requirements from day one.
- Ongoing support once you're operating. Equipment performance data for emissions reporting or agency inspections, whenever your compliance team needs it.
- A track record South Dakota regulators already recognize. CPI oxidizer systems are permitted and operating across South Dakota, helping our customers stay in compliance with their permit obligations.
South Dakota Air Permitting Rules for Oxidizers
- Permitting authority: South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (DANR), Air Quality Program — statewide authority, centralized with no county delegation
- EPA region: U.S. EPA Region 8 (Rocky Mountain)
- Permit types: an Air Quality Permit to Construct prior to building or modifying a source, and a Title V Air Quality Operating Permit for major sources
- A lean, single-window process: with relatively few major sources statewide, South Dakota DANR handles both construction and operating permit review through one centralized program, often allowing more direct agency engagement than larger, higher-volume states
Supporting Your Project Team
Whether your South Dakota project runs through an outside environmental consultant, an in-house EHS group, or your engineering team, CPI works alongside them, offering:
- BACT/MACT analysis support, with the technical data needed to weigh control technology options.
- A real installation history in South Dakota that regulators have already reviewed and accepted.
- Turn-key project support spanning evaluation through commissioning, including installation estimates.
- A 24-hour Technical Service Group standing by well after startup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can CPI manufacture a regenerative thermal oxidizer for a South Dakota facility?
Yes. CPI designs and manufactures custom RTOs, catalytic oxidizers, and thermal oxidizers for South Dakota manufacturers, built on successful implementations throughout South Dakota and nationwide.
Are there CPI oxidizers already running in South Dakota today?
Yes — CPI oxidizer systems are installed and operating at South Dakota facilities, permitted and accepted by DANR. That in-state history means South Dakota regulators are already familiar with how CPI designs and documents its systems.
Does my facility need a Permit to Construct, a Title V permit, or both?
Most South Dakota facilities need a Permit to Construct; major sources also need a Title V Air Quality Operating Permit. Your permitting consultant, EHS team, or engineering group can confirm which applies to your project.
Will CPI service equipment it didn't originally manufacture?
Yes. CPI services most makes and models of regenerative thermal oxidizers, catalytic oxidizers, and thermal oxidizers, not only the systems we built ourselves.
Does CPI manage DANR permitting on our behalf?
No. CPI is not a permitting firm. We recommend confirming your specific requirements with an environmental consultant, EHS resource, or engineering team - CPI's role is supplying the oxidizer information that process depends on.
Is CPI a resource for environmental consultants working on South Dakota projects?
Yes. CPI works closely with environmental consultants on BACT/MACT analysis and project support, backed by a proven track record of oxidizers already operating in South Dakota.
