Electronics Recycling: Compliance Resources

Air

• New Source Review (NSR) Permits
• De Minimis – Determine if your site is covered under the De Minimis rule.
• Permits by Rule (PBR) – This PBR list is not meant to be all inclusive. Please check the lists of PBRs in the Keyword Index below to ensure you have reviewed all available and applicable permitting options for the equipment, processes, and material you will use at your site. If an activity does not have a specific PBR, then review the General Conditions PBR (106.4) and the General Facilities PBRs (106.261 and 106.262); these general PBRs might be the most appropriate air authorizations for the emissions produced at your site.
