Air Permitting Services

You may have to obtain an air permit before beginning a project that will generate increased air emissions. The city may not allow occupancy of your project until the air permit approval has been secured. A number of costly consequences can result from not understanding the air permitting process and not knowing the right agency people. Permitting delays, loss of exemptions, unnecessary control equipment and source testing costs, and numerous...

Air Permitting Feasibility Services

BlueScape works with you to design a permit feasibility study that helps you understand your air permitting options and the consequence of different options on your company's future operations.

Air Dispersing Modeling Services

Air dispersion models are tools to assess impacts from air pollution sources. Why are these tools important? Air permit applicants must show that potential air quality impacts will not exceed specific health thresholds. If used before pollution sources are actually built, air dispersion models can be more advantageous than air monitoring.

Greenhouse Gas Management Services

Global Warming has become a hot environmental issue. 'Going green' has become good business practice. Increasingly, customers, agencies, and communities expect businesses to be part of the solution, not the problem. However, relatively few have accounted for GHG emissions.

Health Risk & Exposure Assessment Services

For industrial projects that will result in air toxic emissions, public health risks can become a central point of debate within the public forum. Many state and local air agencies have created health risk assessment requirements for various industries and chemicals. The agencies require that company processes do not exceed established health risk impact thresholds. In California, companies can be sued under Proposition 65 for alleged significant...

Air Quality Compliance Support

How can we possibly stay in compliance? Air quality permits and regulations can require source testing, recordkeeping and emissions reporting to verify compliance. To avoid violation notices and/or expensive fines, a solid air quality compliance management program must be in place.

Litigation Support

BlueScape will assist you through the litigation process: We will provide you with expert support for air toxic tort litigation cases, including Proposition 65.

Air Emissions Inventories Services

Your company plans to operate a new industrial process, but you need to calculate air emissions for an air permit application or health risk assessment required by a regulatory agency. Or, you want to know if air emissions will cause smoke or odors that would be a nuisance to your neighbors.

Environmental Impact Reports Services

CEQA and NEPA require air quality impacts to be identified and mitigated in environmental impact reports (EIRs). BlueScape can help develop complete air quality impact sections of EIRs: We will characterize the existing air quality. We will calculate short-term and operational air quality emissions. We will determine potential air quality impacts using dispersion models. We will recommend mitigation options for impacts that may be significant.
