Air quality compliance and permitting manual (with CD-ROM)

Most books in the environmental area focus on regulatory issues presenting new regulations and summarizing compliance strategies. This volume provides a straightforward, easy-to-read, non-legal explanation of the regulatory and technical concepts of air quality compliance, explaining how to effectively manage air compliance at a facility. This book is unique in that it describes the actual permit submissions that are required under regulations (many of which end up being state requirements) and the technical and analytical approaches, which are needed in preparing the information required in the permit applications.
