South Carolina Air Permitting Issues
Written October 17, 2019
South Carolina has a Title V air permitting 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 also required to have an operating and construction permit.
A “major” source facility has the potential to emit greater than 100 TPY (when located in an attainment area) of any criteria air pollutant, or 10 TPY or more of any single HAP, or 25 TPY or more of any combination of HAPs.
