Choose the right perspective
Match the person's permitting experience to your situation, since keeping an existing operating permit in order is different from permitting a new unit or a major expansion. Also consider which regulators and permit programs apply to your site, and pick someone whose roles involved the same kind of facility.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How early in a capital project should the air permitting team get involved?
- 02What usually causes delays in getting a construction permit for a new or modified unit?
- 03How do you keep a Title V permit current as a facility changes over time?
