Hello fellow environmental professionals!
Fall is in the air (along with ragweed... yea!). Now is a great time to plan for 2011. Budgets have probably already been set for your 2011 construction/modification projects but don't forget about the permitting! It can take up to 6-months to get a final permit from Ohio EPA. Plus, even seemingly small changes can have great impact on your air toxics modeling or Title V applicability.
If you recently received a permit, make sure you have included any required stack testing in your plan.
If you are required to test but your plant is not operating at capacity, you can write a letter to the Director of Ohio EPA requesting an extension.
If you need assistance, I am here to help!

Ohio EPA (8/19/10) called in US EPA and the Department of Defense to battle bed bugs! I can't make this stuff up!

Missing: Oil from spill in Gulf by BP well. Or is dilution really the solution to pollution? |

Environmental Compliance Assessment (ECA)
The purpose of the ECA is to ascertain the Air, Water, Hazardous Waste, and Solid Waste permitting and operating requirements for the client, to evaluate the client's current compliance status, and to provide (and help implement) recommendations to achieve and maximize compliance. The annual follow-up ECA provides an opportunity to assess the environmental compliance program and to update the primary ECA report, as needed.

Safety Audit
OSHA or MSHA
Some companies have expressed interest in having a third party conduct a periodic evaluation of the facility for the basic OSHA and MSHA hit list. Those who work there every day sometimes cannot see the trees for the forest (sorry, I had to) but sometimes a fresh set of eyes can spot problems potentially saving your company from some fines. Because of the diversity of facilities and the fact that I would have no control over actually resolving the problems identified, this cannot be a "guaranteed no fines" service but is rather intended to provide another level of review.
