Caltha LLP Project Summary

Project: Update To Air Permit Emission Tracking And Reporting

Client: Printing Operation

Location(s): Wisconsin

Key Elements: WDNR air permit, annual air emission inventory, VOC emission calculation

Overview: Caltha LLP has played a crucial role in assisting this Wisconsin-based printing company with the comprehensive preparation of their annual air emission inventory. This inventory is essential for compliance reporting, which is mandated under the facility air emission permit that has been issued by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The process of compiling this inventory involves meticulous attention to detail and adherence to regulatory standards to ensure that the facility operates within the allowed emission limits. Caltha's involvement has included the development of a site-specific product usage and emission tracking workbook, specifically designed to facilitate the accurate recording of solvent usage on a monthly basis. This workbook serves as a vital tool for plant personnel, enabling them to systematically document the quantities of solvents utilized in their operations and calculate the resulting volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions generated as a consequence of their printing processes. By implementing this tracking system, the company can maintain a clear understanding of its emissions profile and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.

In addition to the preparation of the emission inventory and tracking workbook, Caltha provides ongoing ad hoc training and technical support to the plant staff. This training is tailored to enhance the understanding of emission tracking methodologies and the nuances of permit compliance. Caltha's team of experts offers guidance on best practices for monitoring emissions, interpreting regulatory requirements, and implementing effective strategies for minimizing environmental impact. Through this support, plant staff are empowered to manage their reporting obligations confidently and efficiently, fostering a culture of environmental responsibility within the organization. The combination of thorough documentation, proactive training, and continuous technical assistance ensures that the printing company not only meets regulatory requirements but also strives for sustainability in its operations.
