Natural Gas Processign Facilities: A New Look at Emissions From Nontypical Sources

摘要

On July 21, 1992, the EPA promulated a new part 70 of Chapter I of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) that contained state operating permit provisions as required by Title V of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Shortly thereafter, most states and many individualcompanies began developing long-term strategies for preparing and reviewing operating permit applications and issuing new operating permits. Many companies that had previously not been required to obtain air permits found themselves having to prepare permit applications using emission inventory information which was outdated, outmoded, ad often inaccurae. Moredetailed information was necessary to verify or determine whether the facility was a major source and, more importantly, whether the site was in compliance with existing regulations.
