Air permit compliance annual report
The Environmental Monitoring and Compliance (EMC) Section at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is responsible for ensuring that all activities conducted at ORNL are in compliance with the environmental regulations. This report outlines the Tennessee Department of Health and Environment (TDHE) air pollution control regulations applicable to ORNL facilities and the strategy employed by the Environmental Monitoring and Compliance (EMC) Section to maintain and prove compliance. This strategy includes the air permit program and several other actions which complement the program. The strategy is outlined and described in this report. This report does not offer an in-depth study of ORNL compliance with the federal regulations for hazardous air pollutants, the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). In general, ORNL is only concerned with the NESHAP regulations for radionuclides. Emission sources at ORNL of other hazardous air pollutants regulated by the NESHAP regulations are few in number, and at present, ORNL is in compliance with these regulatory requirements. The EPA is expected to expand these regulations to include chlorinated solvents used as degreasers. A thorough evaluation of ORNL compliance with the NESHAP regulations for radionuclides will be offered at a later date.
