Webinar – Clean Air Act Policy Change

This webinar will take place on March 21, 2018. The full title of the webinar is “Clean Air Act Policy Change: How the End of the ‘Once In, Always In’ Policy Could Impact Major Source Emitters
About the Webinar”.  On January 25, 2018, the EPA announced that it was withdrawing the “Once in, Always in” policy for the classification of major sources of hazardous air pollutants under section 112 of the Clean Air Act. With the new guidance, sources of hazardous air pollutants previously classified as “major sources” may be reclassified as “area” sources at any time, as long as the facility limits its potential to emit below major source thresholds.

EPA’s change in policy also triggers a broader question about how facilities can best take advantage of their compliance systems to streamline their permitting and confirm applicable requirements to facilitate better business decisions.

Join Cority’s Ian Cohen and Arcadis’ Linda Kemp and Brad Micheel as they walk through what this policy change means for you and your business.

You will learn

An overview of the ‘Once In, Always In’ policy
The difference between ‘Major Source’ and ‘Area Source’ classification
What this could mean for industry and how to prepare
How to understand compliance obligations and use them to drive business decisions
