Review of nine state and federal operating permit programs. Technical report
The report is part of the National Network for Environmental Management Studies under the auspices of the Office of Cooperative Environmental Management of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It is intended to provide information on problems and difficulties State and EPA permitting authorities have encountered in the administration and enforcement of similar pollution permitting programs. The Clean Air Act amendments recently proposed to Congress by current administration are promoting permit programs as an alternative to the drawn-out process revising State Implementation Plans (SIPs). Under Title IV of the amendments, States will submit for approval a comprehensive operating permit program of major air pollution sources to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Title IV and V amendment requires that States permit some 10-15,000 major air pollutions sources nationwide and issue permits to over 100 sources which emit SO2. The information in the report comes principally from seven State permitting programs--Arizona, Illinois, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, and Oregon--which issue permits to air pollution sources; and two EPA regions--I and VI--which issue water discharge permits under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program.
