Owners and managers of industrial, utility, and institutional facilities are constantly challenged by complex air quality regulations. Regulations such as New Source Review (NSR), Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD), and Maximum Available Control Technology (MACT) require a significant level of expertise and resources. In addition to on-going compliance requirements, these regulations may be triggered by facility expansions and/or modifications; however, the speed and cost of facility expansions and modifications are critical to market competitiveness. Thus, specific regulatory expertise and additional resources are often required to expedite the regulatory permit process and increase cost efficiency. Air quality regulations sometimes require that air pollution control systems be added to facility expansion or modification plans. Owners and managers of these facilities appreciate a single consulting firm that can provide the expertise and resources necessary to design and construct the control systems, as well as perform the required regulatory evaluation.
