ACSEngGroup is Licensed by the Texas Board of Professional Engineers
ACS Engineering Group environmental consultants are permit writing experts that will evaluate your site greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, draft initial GHG permit or amend an existing air permit, and organize and submit your GHG data to the EPA.
Why Choose Us?
ACS Engineering Group can determine your GHG applicability and help your business develop a plan to move forward with permitting solutions. Our environmental consultants can help train your staff, develop your baseline GHG emission inventory, and implement your GHG monitoring plan.
Current GHG Requirements:
- Assess your facilities emission source baseline green house gas emissions
- Enable a documenting system relative to your facility sub part requirements. For example, some Title V facilities are already capturing necessary data with their CEMS and DAHS.
- Register your facility authorized representative with the new GHG reporting tool e-GGRT
- Recognize the future impacts to your facility operations and existing air permit as well as acquiring new air permits as the GHG regulations continue to develop.
Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that are alleged to absorb and emit radiation within the thermal infrared range. Annual reports of the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by a facility must be submitted to the EPA by facilities that meet or exceed the limit of 25,000 metric tons or more per year of GHG emissions and suppliers of fossil fuels, suppliers of industrial greenhouse gases, and manufacturers of vehicles and engines (outside of the light-duty sector) regardless of their emission level.
The gases that must be reported are carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), perfluorocarbons (PFC), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), and other fluorinated gases such as hydrofluorinated ethers (HFE) and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3).
Currently, all Facilities required to report under the green house reporting rule are expected to have started collecting emissions monitoring data and complying with all greenhouse gas requirements. Monitoring Plans establishing the greenhouse gas monitoring procedure must be completed and periodically revised as changes to the process occur. Site equipment must be calibrated to meet the accuracy requirements of the new greenhouse gases rule.
We utilize several record keeping options to ensure your site stays on task, in compliance with the terms and conditions of the permit, and is perpetually prepared for an audit.
There are multiple sub parts to the green house reporting rule all having different individual requirements. We can help your business determine what GHG sub parts may be applicable to your facilities.
If you have questions concerning the latest developments and best available control technologies (BACT) available to your project for initial or amendment air permitting, consult our engineers to help you optimize decisions during the permitting process.
If you are currently an operating facility with an existing air permit and would like to speak with ACS Engineering Group concerning permit compliance options, call to setup an site consultation. We will review your existing air permit, records, and compliance program to provide you with a detailed gap analysis and risk mitigation plan. Talk to us about our methods for maintaining a positive compliance track record.
Our environmental consultants have over 20 years of industry experience working with clients, regulatory agencies, and writing permits. You can count on ACS Engineering Group to deliver you the best services, permits and plans for your facility.
