Air Emissions and Permit Management

Air Emissions Training or Indoor Air Quality Training?

• Air Emissions and Permit Management. The page you are on. Emissions leaving the site, the permits that authorise them, and the monitoring and records that prove compliance.
• Indoor Air Quality. Air inside the workplace: ventilation, contaminants, comfort complaints and how to investigate them. View the Indoor Air Quality
• Annual Environmental Training. The broader yearly environmental refresher across several media, rather than a deep pass on air permits. View the Annual Environmental Training
• Stormwater Pollution Awareness Training. The water counterpart for construction sites, covering runoff and discharge instead of emissions. View the Stormwater Pollution Awareness Training

Who Keeps an Air Permit in Compliance Day to Day?

A permit is signed in an office and kept in compliance on the floor. The course is built around that gap, and around the worker who closes it.

• The permit is a legal document. A Title V permit binds the facility to specific operating conditions and emission limits, and it is issued for a fixed term of five years under 40 CFR 70.6(a)(2).
• Records are the proof. Compliance is demonstrated on paper, which is why 40 CFR 70.6(a)(3)(ii)(B) requires monitoring data and support information to be kept for at least five years.
• Most violations start small. The course walks through the violations that actually get written up: exceeded limits, missed monitoring, thin records, control equipment left off, and dust crossing the fence line.
• Falsifying is a separate crime. Knowingly falsifying a required record is a criminal offence under section 113(c) of the Clean Air Act, and the course draws a hard line between an honest error and a covered up one.
