The Clean Air Act

The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 continue to impose new requirements on manufacturing concerns.  The full impact of Title V permits, which incorporate new MACT standards and compliance certification requirements, are in the process of being issued.  McMahon DeGulis works with major and minor sources to obtain air pollution permits to install (PTI) and permits to operate (PTO) that allow a facility to function cost-effectively.
