Achievements

Air Permitting

- Completed multiple applications for air construction and operating permits from inception to issuance including

initial emission calculations, justification for changes, regulatory review, document preparation, collaboration

with permit writers and implementation of changes.

- Successfully eliminated a permit requirement to control venting emissions of facility equipment by designing,

planning and managing tank vent emissions testing saving approximately $500,000.

- Streamlined multiple data collection strategies to more effectively monitor surrogate environmental parameters

pursuant to air permit requirements.

- Completely re-designed existing emission calculations for an ethanol manufacturing facility to meet compliance

and to effectively model emissions related to potential changes to operations.

- Developed all reporting templates and completed Annual Certification of Compliance, Quarterly CEMS

Reporting and LDAR Semi-Annual Reports for an ethanol manufacturing facility including all data collection,

calculations, backup documentation and final report submission.

- Successfully demonstrated to regulators that new NESHAPS requirements did not apply to facility processes by

designing a sampling strategy and using analytical information to complete calculations saving the facility

approximately $200,000. The strategy was then used by others throughout the industry.

- Successfully submitted Title V Air Operating permit application for an ethanol production facility.

Water Permitting

- Successfully completed multiple NPDES Permit modifications that removed unnecessary or misapplied permit

requirements and subsequently reduced operating costs for the organization.

multiple facility personnel and increased the accuracy of data.
