Georgia Air Permitting Issues
Written October 17, 2019
Georgia does have a Title V permit program in place. Sources with the potential to emit more than 100 tons of VOC per year, or 10 tons of one hazardous air pollutant (HAP) or 25 tons of a combination of hazardous air pollutants are required to apply for a Title V permit.
Facilities are exempt from obtaining a permit when the combined emissions are below the following thresholds for all listed: (i) 50 tons per year of carbon monoxide; (ii) 300 pounds per year of lead total; with a 3.0 pound per day maximum emission; (iii) 20 tons per year of particulate matter, PM10, or sulfur dioxide; (iv) 20 tons per year of nitrogen oxides or VOCs except in the counties of Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, Paulding, or Rockdale, where less than 5 tons per year of nitrogen oxides or VOCs is exempted; and (v) 2 tons per year total with a 15 pound per day maximum emission of any single hazardous air pollutant and less than 5 tons per year of any combination of hazardous air pollutants.
