The Title V Permit is a compilation of all existing applicable air quality requirements including emissions limits and standards, monitoring, record keeping, and reporting requirements.  The Title V permit renewal is required every five years subject to public notice and the EPA review process.  The initial Title V permit for this facility was issued on November 5, 2003.  Lehigh submitted an application to the District for its renewal Title V Permit on April 28, 2008.  Since the initial issuance of the Title V Permit, the District has changed the equipment list to include source additions, modifications and exemptions.  Also, the District reviewed and updated all Federal, State and Local requirements, standards, testing, monitoring, record keeping and reporting requirements.  In addition, the District reviewed the compliance status of all sources.  All revisions are noted and explained in detail in the Statement of Basis for the proposed renewal Title V Permit.  Details of the previous revisions can be found in Section X of the permit “Revision History”.  All proposed changes to the current permit are clearly shown in strikeout/underline format.

Further information about the project is provided in the documents listed below, and by contacting Ms. Bui at the address listed above or at (415) 749-5119.
