How to Get the Most Out of Your Boiler MACT Energy Assessment
February 2014 | Lindsey K.
Congratulations! You’ve made it through the first year of planning for compliance with the Major and Area Source Boiler MACT rules. That means there are two years left for major sources to come into compliance by January 31, 2016 (or January 31, 2017 for those who requested and received a one-year extension), and just shy of two months left for area sources to come into compliance by March 21, 2014...

During the last decade that evolution has been substantially impacted by the “NSR Reform” revisions of 2002; the regulation of particulate matter less than 10 microns (PM10) and particulate matter less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5); and the seemingly routine changes in form and reductions of national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) following required reviews...

Cement Manufacturing - Balancing Growth with Air Quality Requirements
September 2013 | Mark W.
In most areas of the U.S., it appears that the recession is a bad memory and the signs of recovery are all around us. As described by the Portland Cement Association (PCA) on its website, “following the strongest cement consumption gains in seven (7) years in 2012, cement consumption growth will continue in 2013 with a 6.2% increase.” PCA continues to explain that “the accelerated consumption predicted during the second half of 2013 should carry into the following year, with an increase of 9.2% for 2014.” PCA also upwardly revised its long-range projections for 2015-2017...

The Difficulties With Attaining Compliance With Environmental Regulations - An Ode to the Environmental Compliance Manager
