ABSTRACT
Once a source has received an air quality permit, it is important to stay in compliance with all of the permit conditions included. The federal Title V program requires that each Title V permit specifies the regulations applicable to the permitted source. Furthermore, the Title V permit also specifies how compliance will be determined for each applicable regulation. This chapter discusses the methods to determine compliance and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Compliance Assurance Monitoring (CAM) program. Monitoring can include everything from continuous emission monitoring (CEM) to keeping records of complaints received. One of the most promising emission monitoring techniques recently developed is called Parametric Emission Monitoring System (PEMS). For any compliance monitoring that is included in a Title V permit, a good conduct provision should be considered. Inspections are a standard activity for permitting agency staff, and a facility should expect to be inspected periodically.
