Air Quality Permitting
At TRICORD, we understand the importance of obtaining timely authorization for your capital expenditure projects. Time often equates to money and/or lost opportunity! As such, the ultimate goal of each of our air quality permitting projects is to obtain authorization to construct and operate as quickly as possible and with the least amount of burden relative to costly emission controls and future compliance demonstrations. With each permitting project, we strive to obtain a permit that accurately reflects the planned configuration and future operating conditions of the facility, while also ensuring the maximum possible degree of operational flexibility. We will negotiate for permit conditions that provide a reasonable basis for the facility to demonstrate and maintain continual compliance into the future.
Strong communication between key stakeholders (e.g., Engineering, Operations, Environmental, Corporate Management, Legal, 3rd party vendors, etc.) and preparation of accurate and comprehensive documentation is essential in securing a successful air quality permit. TRICORD has developed systematic processes for strategically assessing project emission increases and potential air quality impacts from proposed projects. This process not only allows for the development of an appropriate air permit application, but through permit facilitation and post-permit implementation, TRICORD provides clients a continuous support group before, during and after the issuance of your permit.
