Title V Permits

Typical Tasks Performed:

• Emission modeling

• Emission testing

• Compliance audits

• Reporting

The Title V operating permit for a landfill is the single most important air quality permit for landfills.  Title V permits are umbrella permits that combine all air quality requirements, permits, and compliance elements into one permit.  As such, the Title V permit cannot be taken lightly and must be approached in a careful manner.  It essentially increases the visibility and liability of the landfill in the eyes of the regulator and the public.

Our position in the SWANA and the Waste Industry Air Coalition (WIAC) allows us to be at the cutting edge of any changes in the way landfills are regulated.  It also allows us to be in a position to provide regulatory advocacy on behalf of our clients so that new regulations and interpretations are reasonably and fairly developed and implemented.
