Ambient Air Quality Analysis, supported with Refined Dispersion Modeling for a facility located on the Ohio River Industrial Corridor

The Ambient Air Quality Analysis, using Refined Dispersion Modeling, demonstrated the emissions levels generated by the source did not exceed or significantly contribute to the specific pollutant levels set by the limits of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).

Ambient Air & Noise Survey/Analysis in Support of an Industrial Expansion

The purpose of the air and noise analysis was to use empirical information to determine pollution levels and to indicate any existing or potential problems. In conjunction with the above, the analysis served to provide the necessary data to address public concerns regarding the expansion.

Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Permit Application and Technical Support

The PSD permit process is necessary when specific pollution thresholds are exceeded. The project included the required:

• Application Forms

• Emissions Activity Category Forms

• Process Flow Diagrams

• Location Description and Mapping to facilitate the comprehensive
  understanding of the facility emissions

• Narrative & Calculations to Determine PSD Source Applicability, which takes into account: emissions calculations/netting analysis/requests for federally-enforceable limits/description of the methodology and results from a BACT Analysis

• Refined Dispersion Modeling and Analysis was used to determine compliance with the NAAQS and Ohio’s Air Toxics Policy

• Impact Analysis, which assessed the impact of air pollution on soils/vegetation/visibility caused by the source
  

Manufacturing and Coating Facility Environmental System

As a result of inconsistent historical information, the project accomplished the following: instituted a permitting, record keeping, training, updating, and regulatory liaison system for a (2) facility operation. The system accounts for all personnel, equipment, raw material and regulatory obligations. The system uses a combination of technology and personal contact/influence to maintain and proactively move the facilities forward in regards to environmental compliance.

Manufacturing Start-Up Project:

The project required broad and specific steps to account for air/ water/ waste/ geological/ governmental requirements. The project involved local and state agencies to include the OEPA/ODNR/Army Corps of Engineers in order to meet all regulatory requirements. Satisfying financial institutions also played a role in assuring all of the environmental procedures were accounted for.

Dine Comply facilitated and obtained Sony Green Partner Certification for a non-ISO 14,000 Ohio coating industry.

Sony Corporation designates suppliers that cooperate in the production of environmentally sensitive products as Green Partners. A facility cannot do work for a Sony Corporation until they have obtained a Sony Green Partner Certification. With a full understanding of the Sony Technical Standard SS-00259, Dine Comply prepared for and completed a Sony Green Partner Audit including:

• Analysis Sampling Facilitation, Oversight and Coordination (Inductively Couple Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP) Sampling in accordance with Sony Standard SS-00259)

• Conformance with Sony’s Environmental Quality Assurance System (EQAS)

• Creation of Facility Environmental System Manual

• Completion of “Cradle-to-Grave” Concept and Tracking of Materials Received and Shipped from Facility

• Developed Paperwork Method in conjunction with Existing Facility Records to Demonstrate Compliance with Sony Standard

• Training Implementation Including Internal Auditing
