Learn What Is Included In Air Quality Permit
Nearly every gin in the country has some typeof air quality or environmental permit. Some aresimple, and some are complex. It is important toknow what your permit says because, just likeevery other government document, you’re respon-sible for what it says and what you are supposedto be doing.
Over the past several years in the Southeast,we’ve seen huge changes in the way that gins areregulated. Two states went from a very detailedand lengthy permit process to a very straightfor-ward general permit. We still have some statesthat have older detailed permits. Some of thoseare more complex than they previously were, andsome are much simpler. Some have expirationdates and others are good forever.
In any case, it shows that a blanket statementcan’t be made as to what the requirements are. Inone state, I’ve seen permits that have 40 percentcapacity limits and some that are 20 percent.Even in one state, you can’t say all gins have thesame requirement in their permits so it’simportant to READ YOUR PERMIT.
What are you likely to find? Well, mostpermits have the name of the businessand many times the legally responsibleindividual. That needs to be correct.Update if necessary. As an example,North Carolina has a requirement forreporting your inspection findings byMarch 1 each year. South Carolinarequires reporting of the number of balesginned each year by February.
There is a laundry list of other require-ments that can be included in your airpermit, far too many to be listed here.Suffice it to say that you need to reviewyour permit and the requirements thatare contained in it. Most gin associationshave someone available or a contact to callthat can help you understand all that is inyour permit.
Even if you’ve never been cited, itdoesn’t relieve you of the obligation.Finally, make sure the permit matchesreality and update as necessary.
