Incorporate Title Permit For Free

District Rule 2520 identifies which major sources must obtain a Title V operating permit. Generally, these sources consist of: Major stationary sources with potential to emit greater than 10 tons per year (tpy) of NOx or VOC, 100 tpy of CO, or 70 tpy of PM10 or SOx.

Part 70 program or State program means a program approved by the Administrator under this part. Part 70 source means any source subject to the permitting requirements of this part, as provided in §§ 70.3(a) and 70.3(b) of this part.

The enactment of the Clean Air Act of 1970 (1970 CAA) resulted in a major shift in the federal government's role in air pollution control. This legislation authorized the development of comprehensive federal and state regulations to limit emissions from both stationary (industrial) sources and mobile sources.

Actions to implement the Clean Air Act have achieved dramatic reductions in air pollution, preventing hundreds of thousands of cases of serious health effects each year. Since 1990 there has been approximately a 50% decline emissions of key air pollutants.

In 1996, leaded gasoline was finally banned as a result of the Clean Air Act. Under the Clean Air Act, EPA has also put into place standards to reduce toxic air emissions from mobile sources. These standards will cut toxic emissions from gasoline, vehicles, and even gas containers.

The act establishes federal standards for mobile sources of air pollution and their fuels and for sources of 187 hazardous air pollutants, and it establishes a cap-and-trade program for the emissions that cause acid rain. It establishes a comprehensive permit system for all major sources of air pollution.

Major sources have the potential to emit more than 10 tons per year of a single HAP or 25 tons per year of any combination of HAPs. Area sources have the potential to emit less than 10 tons per year of a single HAP or 25 tons per year of any combination of HAPs. Many small businesses are area sources.
