This permit is issued by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODER) and is only available to facilities that have achieved compliance with all relevant environmental regulations. The permit allows emissions to exceed the facility’s typical approved levels, but only for a limited duration, typically less than 30 days.
