This panel will discuss permitting issues and permit conditions that are prone to problems from various industry, government, and environmentalist perspectives. Generally, air pollutant emission sources are required to obtain permits, and the issuing agency will provide an opportunity for a facility to review and comment on draft permit conditions. Taking advantage of that opportunity is essential to ensure the best permit that can be obtained. Particular permit conditions that may present problems will be discussed. Some conditions may require substantial effort, yet produce little environmental benefit. On the other hand, permitting agencies and environmental advocacy groups may perceive different problems with permit conditions. The panel will discuss alternative conditions and other remedies for problem permits. Facility personnel should strive to explain difficulties, so they can be changed. Similarly, the public should take advantage of its opportunities to comment on a proposed permit.
