Tabbed activity describing the functions of the Chemical, Energy, Mechanical/Coatings, Operating Permits, and Rule Registrations Sections
Tab Title: Chemical Section
Tab Content:
Conducts the technical review of permit applications and other authorization requests for chemical, petrochemical, chemical storage, and chemical-based marine loading facilities.
Tab Title: Energy Section
Tab Content:
Conducts the technical review of permit applications and other authorization requests for combustion facilities (power plants, incinerators, and cement kilns) and refinery operations (petroleum refining, oil and gas processing, petroleum storage, and marine loading).
Tab Title: Mech/Coatings Section
Tab Content:
Conducts the technical review of permit applications and other authorization requests for cotton gins, cottonseed delinting plants, feed mills, grain elevators, rendering plants, food and beverage processing, seed/grain roasting, peanut drying and handling, fertilizer operations (dry bulk handling, anhydrous ammonia storage and handling, polyphosphate blenders), composting/mulching, concrete batch plants, asphalt concrete plants, asphalt roofing/blowing operations, rock crushers, fiberglass/insulation manufacturing, ceramic/brick manufacturing, bulk material handling, soil stabilization, glass manufacturing, pulp and paper mills, wood products operations, ethylene oxide sterilizers, steel and iron manufacturing, foundries, ore processing, metal recovery, lead acid battery manufacturing, chrome plating, galvanizing, wire reclamation, brick manufacturing, surface coating (painting and printing), abrasive cleaning, fiberglass/cultured marble, rigid and flexible foam manufacturing, semiconductor fabrication, circuit board assembly, paint/ink manufacturing, parts cleaning/degreasing, and can manufacturing.
Tab Title: Operating Permits Section
Tab Content:
Conducts federal reviews of applications for major and certain non-major sources subject to Title V to codify all air requirements into one authorization. This includes codifying all applicable state and federal air rules, NSR authorizations, compliance assurance monitoring (CAM) and periodic monitoring (PM) requirements, acid rain requirements, and any other relevant requirements into a site operating permit (SOP).
Tab Title: Rule Registrations Section
Tab Content:
Also conducts reviews to authorize facilities and their emissions but is associated with alternate methods of authorization.
The Rule Registrations Section conducts the technical reviews of permit by rule (PBR) and standard permit registrations and certifications for all industry types. These authorizations are generally used in lieu of getting a full NSR permit and are typically used to authorize facilities that have insignificant emissions and/or have undergone a protectiveness review that has determined these alternate forms of authorization are more appropriate instead of a case-by-case permit review. This section also reviews submittals for general operating permits (GOP), which are streamlined authorizations for Title V.
PBRs, standard permits, and GOPs will be discussed in greater detail later in this course.
