Good Communication
It’s no secret that good communication promotes success in all areas; experience has shown that this communication can be especially
important in the air permitting process, where long lead times often require applications to be prepared before the process design has
been finalized. We work closely with our clients to streamline the permitting process, working with your process engineers to identify
critical items both in terms of schedule and compliance. Once your permit application is submitted, we follow its progress closely through
the regulatory agency to resolve questions or concerns which may arise as your permit goes through each step of the approval process.
Environmental Associates, Inc.
Minor to Major Sources
No matter what type of source your
industry is, no permitting issue is ever
“minor.” The Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990 have created one
of the largest and fastest-growing sets
of environmental regulations since
RCRA was passed in 1984.
Shield offers our clients a depth of
experience in air permitting, modeling,
and regulatory compliance. Our
engineering staff possesses both the
technical expertise to deal with the ever-
changing regulatory landscape and the
interpersonal skills to facilitate effective
interactions with the regulatory
agencies.
Industrial Expertise
Our staff of environmental and chemical engineers has the
experience in industry to translate your manufacturing
procedures into the language of air permitting and registration.
We have worked closely with industries that use uncommon
chemicals to develop emission factors and testing protocols to
demonstrate compliance with permit limits. Our engineers also
have process-specific experience in a variety of industries,
including surface coating, electroplating, metal finishing, pulp
and paper and rubber tires. This expertise allows us to develop
compliance and recordkeeping tools that will be comprehensible
to your manufacturing staff. Furthermore, we work closely with
state agencies in developing the annual emissions inventory
form so it will be consistent with your manufacturing process and
the way you keep records.
