Title V - Permits

Provides reductions that decrease facility emissions below Title V permitting thresholds. 

Title V requires that all major sources (and certain minor sources) obtain an operating permit. Many pulp and paper mills are required to have a Title V permit, and may be required to submit information about emissions control devices and the general process at the facility in the permit application. Permits may limit pollutant emissions and impose monitoring record keeping and reporting requirements. 

Local and state regulations may further restrict emissions. Details concerning the requirements involved with applying for Title V permits are explained at the EPA site, http //epa.gov/air/ caa/title5.html. 

In general, numerous professional consulting service providers can help prepare Title V permits, annual emissions inventory reports, and other state-specific documents. An Internet search can identify potential regional candidates.

The EDS uses small shaped charges to open the chemical munition and consume the explosive in the burster and fuze. The agent is destroyed by the subsequent neutralization process, achieving a DRE of >99.9999 percent. Because no offgas treatment system is needed for the EDS, no addition to the CAA Title V permit for BGCAPP or PCAPP is needed. Similarly, because there is no offgas treatment, the potential production of dioxins and furans is not a concern. 

Operating permits are legally enforceable documents that permitting authorities issue to air pollution sources after the source has begun to operate.

Most title V permits are issued by state and local permitting authorities. Permits include pollution-control requirements from... 

The primary benefit to the public is that air permits limit the amount of air pollution allowed at a stationary source.

The U.S. EPA has listed 190 materials that are hsted as Hazardous Air Pollutants or HAPs. These are materials that are purposely introduced into production as raw materials and may be released as air emissions. A giass manufacturing facility that has any of these materials in its production process may have additional requirements for these materials in its Title V permit. For glass manufacturing, additional details and requirements can be found in Subpart SSSSSS [5]. Some common HAPs used in glass manufacturing are ...

Known as the GHG Tailoring Rule because it tailors the requirements of these CAA permitting programs to limit the facilities that are required to obtain PSD and Title V permits. Currently, only the largest stationary sources are subject to permitting requirements. This includes the nation s largest GHG emitters — power plants, refineries, and cement production facilities. Emissions from smaller facilities are not covered by these programs (at least for now).
