NSPS and NESHAP Support
Understanding NSPS, Associated Timelines and How Trinity Can Support
The NSPS, established in 1971 and now expanded to include over 100 subparts, apply to facilities constructed, reconstructed, or modified after a certain date, designated by industrial category or source ype. These standards, based on the “best system of emissions reduction (BSER)” under the Clean Air Act, mandate emissions standards considering costs, environmental impacts, and energy requirements.
Every eight years, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required to review and revise where appropriate each NSPS subpart to ensure the standards continue to meet BSER.
Trinity offers a comprehensive suite of NSPS compliance support services to help industries navigate regulatory requirements effectively. Our NSPS compliance services include applicability determination, initial compliance notifications, compliance demonstrations, ongoing monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting. We also provide expertise in compliance demonstrations, such as stack testing and CEMS certification, and help clients choose optimal monitoring systems. Our tailored recordkeeping solutions manage compliance-related data efficiently, and we assist in preparing and submitting NSPS reports to meet federal, state, and local requirements.
Understanding NESHAP Regulations, Timelines, and How Trinity Can Support
Trinity Consultants offers specialized support tailored to Part 63 and 61 NESHAP regulations, which address hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) listed by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1970. Between 1971 and 1990, the EPA published 23 pollutant-specific standards in Part 61 NESHAP, addressing each of the eight identified HAPs. Unlike the more widely applicable Part 63 NESHAP, Part 61 regulations regulate HAP based on listed activities and emissions source types. These regulations establish human health risk-based emissions standards that provide ample safety margins, safeguarding the public from the listed HAPs.
A residual risk and technology review (RTR) is required to be conducted within eight years of setting the MACT standards, and subsequent Part 63 NESHAP regulation reviews are required every eight years thereafter to account for improvements in air pollution controls and/or prevention.
Whether your facility has triggered a NESHAP for the first time, or you have been complying with the same regulation since the 1990's, Trinity has you covered with a full range of Part 63 and 61 NESHAP compliance support services, including:
- Tailored compliance programs to suit each client’s unique needs.
- Strategic guidance on choosing the best compliance option for each site.
- An extensive library of technical and regulatory resources.
- Preparation and submittal of a Notice of Compliance Status Reports (NOCSR).
- Detailed inspection programs built on solid personnel workflows and documentation platforms.
- Streamlined NESHAP recordkeeping systems to ensure optimum performance.
- Guidance on compliance with specific pollutant regulations, including asbestos, benzene, coke oven emissions, vinyl chloride and more.
- Guidance and support for ongoing periodic NESHAP reporting.
Who Needs NESHAP and NSPS Compliance Support
If you’re an owner or operator of a stationary source with an affected facility under NSPS or NESHAP regulations, you are obligated to follow all applicable requirements irrespective of whether these requirements are noted as specific terms and conditions in your facility's air permit.
Initially establishing and maintaining ongoing compliance under NSPS and NESHAP regulations is a complex and constantly evolving process. Changes in technology, regulatory updates, and shifting U.S. EPA and state/local agency policy and guidance may prompt a need for NSPS/NESHAP compliance support services.
