Air quality permit requirements for a Seattle, Washington waste water treatment plant were reviewed for both existing and future plant emissions when the plant was modified to include secondary treatment. While criteria pollutant emissions were an important consideration, volatile organic compound emissions were a crucial factor in the permit approval process. The difference between potential and existing emissions is presented, and specific alternatives for any increases are required. Chloroform control measures were required by the regulators, and a list of additional issues which were reconciled is presented. 1 tab.
