Air
Quality Permitting and Compliance Projects
4
Prepared Prevention of Significant Deterioration
(PSD) and minor source permit applications for several natural gas-fired
combustion turbine projects in Colorado and Arizona. Estimated emissions, wrote project
descriptions, reviewed best available control technology (BACT) analyses,
identified applicable regulations, researched regulatory issues, negotiated
permit review issues with federal land managers, and conducted permit negotiations.
4
Provided air compliance and permitting services to
a regional petroleum refinery.
Projects have been continuous over the past four years and have
included air permit application preparation and review, regulatory analysis,
and providing training and assistance to the refinery environmental
staff. Other refinery projects have
included; preparing a storage vessel inspection and evaluation procedures,
training refinery environmental and process inspection staff on compliance
procedures, determining the applicability of the National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) for Refineries, and
assisting with regulatory negotiations with the Air Pollution Control
Division and the Environmental Protection Agency.
4
Provide regulatory assistance to a large provider
of computer-related services.
Assistance has included preparing permit applications, preparing a
facility-wide air quality management plan, an ozone depleting compound
management plan and conducting compliance assessments. Recently completed an Environmental
Impact Assessment of a Colorado facility on-site utility that identified
air, water, wastewater, and waste impacts.
4
Project Manager for project that developed guidance
documents, training materials, and checklists for State inspectors, permit
writers, and source operators for the recently published National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Petroleum Refineries, Natural
Gas Transmission and Storage, Oil and Natural Gas Production, and Portland
Cement Manufacturing Standards.
4
Project Manager for a public/private project
between the Colorado Air Pollution Control Division and two Colorado
Refineries. During the project
regulatory checklists and supporting guidance was developed for State
inspector’s, permit writers, and refinery operators to help implement the
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from Petroleum
Refineries. The checklists
incorporated seven overlapping New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants.
4
Conducted an evaluation and prepared a report
describing improvements needed to the compliance demonstration process
associated with obtaining final approval construction permits for the
Colorado Air Pollution Control Division.
This project analyzed the self-certification and final inspection
process, provided an assessment of which procedures worked best, and made
recommendations on what would make the process more efficient and
effective.
