Before you begin your construction project, have you thought through all of the potential environmental compliance requirements and issues that could affect your project? Depending upon whether this is new construction, renovation or demolition construction project, there may be different things to consider. On many new construction projects, storm water is something that must be considered. Failure to comply with these regulations can be costly.
eCAP: Air Emissions Module

The eCAP® Air Emissions Module is designed to ensure facilities are complying with environmental compliance requirements outlined in Titles I-VI of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) as codified in 40 CFR Parts 50-99, as well as any state and local regulatory agency-specific requirements. Based upon a plant’s air permit, the facility will be classified as a major source, synthetic minor or minor source. Facilities with a Title V Operating Permit or FESOP (synthetic minor) can purchase the Air Emissions Module-Major Source Option. Facilities with a general operating permit can purchase the Air Emissions Module-Minor Source Option.

Understanding LDAR Applicability and Implementation
Friday, September 3, 2010 by
August Mack Environmental
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation of fugitive volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions, or leaks, arose out of the research projects conducted between the 1950s and 1980s at several facilities throughout the United States. The research concluded the cumulative effect of all the leaking components may present environmental and health problems to the surrounding area. The research also concluded when most components leak, they do so at very low levels, thus a majority of fugitive emissions come from a very small percentage (not exceeding 10 percent) of high leaking components. The need for fugitive VOC emissions was also necessitated by the fact that approximately 70 percent of total VOC emissions from facilities engaging in processing of gases and light liquids arose from uncontrolled emissions.
