You are the new safety, health, and environmental manager at an industrial facility in Western PA. You have been asked to determine if the operations at your company would require a Title V permit under the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s air quality regulations. In the past your company has had to obtain a Title V permit because you were considered a major source emitter. However, since you are new to the company, you have been asked to reaffirm this. Your company is located in a county that has been classified as serious non-attainment for NOx emissions, serious non-attainment for CO, and serious non-attainment for PM-10. Your county has been classified as attainment for SO2 and ozone (O3) emissions. Your facility releases the following pollutants on an annual basis: PM10: 80 tpy Ethyl Chloride: 3 tpy Trifluralin: 12 tpy NOx: 40 tpy Chloroprene: 4 tpy CO: 70 tpy SO2: 120 tpy Diazomethane: 2 tpy Complete the table below by determining if each INDIVIDUAL pollutant contributes to the need for a Title V Permit and the reason why. Finally, determine if there are pollutants that collectively contribute to the need for a Title V permit. Pollutant Emission Amount Need a Title V Permit? (Yes/No) Reason PM10 80 tpy Ethyl Chloride 3 tpy Trifluralin 12 tpy NOx 40 tpy Chloroprene 4 tpy CO 70 tpy SO2 120 tpy Diazomethane 2 tpy Are there any pollutants that COLLECTIVELY contribute to the need for a Title V Permit?
