When considering changes that will affect the emissions profile of your permitted emission sources, it is important to evaluate the impact of these changes on your permit.  Certain changes require advance notification of the regulatory authorities, while others should already be incorporated into your operational flexibility plan.  Some changes will require a permit modification, which is essentially a new application.

Our evaluation will:

1. Verify that any new process is covered under the existing permit, or recommend the most cost effective means to modify.

2. Evaluate the potential for changing the level of the permit, possibly avoiding unnecessary permit conditions and compliance requirements.

3. Provide for the most efficient new permit available under the Environmental Conservation Law.

Example:  A Draft Title V permit issued to one of our clients included 30 Permit Conditions that were unnecessary and 7 that were misapplied or incomplete.  Acceptance of the draft permit would have required installation of Continuous Emissions Monitoring equipment costing thousands of dollars, the performance of daily audits and calibrations, and the submission of quarterly emissions reports.  Novus Engineering was successful in having all the inappropriate permit conditions corrected or removed.
