The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAA-90) was the most sweeping change the environmental regulation ever enacted. The diversity and magnitude of the areas that were identified in the CAA-90 has sent the professionals throughout the industry into a frenzy attempting to comprehend how and what is needed to comply. States have been diligently working to submit State Implementation Plan (SIP) to the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) by November 15, 1993. Companies have been looking over their state counterpart`s shoulders (and often times sitting beside them) hoping to gain knowledge of what their state will required of them, if their state`s proposed SIP is approved by EPA. The acquired insight will be incorporated in the company`s evaluation of their present Air Permit Management System (APMS) to see what enhancement or modernization will be required to meet the promulgation of their state`s proposed SIP. Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc., (Energy Systems) manages three large installations for the U.S. Department Energy (DOE) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee - Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant, Oak Ridge K-25 Site, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The Y-12 Plant shares technology with industries throughout the world. This paper shows a process used at the Y-12 Plant to determine if the modernization of our Air Permit Management System was needed and ultimately whether the effort spent making such enhancements would produce sufficient results to justify such a project.
