The Operating Permit Section of AQCP is authorized under the Clean Air Act (CAA) Title V Operating Permits. The Operating Permit Section reviews Operating Permit applications, determines completeness of Title V Operating Permit applications, drafts, reviews, public noticed, respond to comments, and finalizes title V operating permits for major source on the Navajo Nation, i.e., power plants, natural gas operators, etc. and does compliance inspections, certifications, compliance monitoring, and review of reports. The Navajo Nation is the first Native American Tribe to receive federal delegation to administer the Title V Operating Permits, under 40 CFR Part 71.
Legally-enforceable documents designed to improve compliance by clarifying what facilities (sources) must do to control air pollution.
Required by Title V of the Clean Air Act.
Issued to all large sources (“major” sources) and a limited number of smaller sources (called “area” sources, “minor” sources, or “non-major” sources).
Most are issued by State or local agencies (“part 70” permits); a small number are issued by EPA (“part 71” permits).
Permits include pollution-control requirements from federal or state regulations that apply to a source.
Other air permits may be required (e.g., “Pre-construction” permits, “PSD” permits, or “NSR” permits), but this web site does not address such permits.
Title V operating permits are legally enforceable documents issued to air pollution sources after the source has begun to operate. Most Title V permits are issued by state, local, and tribal permitting authorities. However, EPA also issues Title V permits to some sources. EPA-issued Title V permits are sometimes called “Part 71 permits” because the regulations that establish the standards for them are found in the Code of Federal Regulations at 40 CFR Part 71.”
The Title V program provides for public participation in the permitting process. The public generally has 30 days to comment on all draft Title V operating permits. For all permits issued by a state or local permitting authority, EPA also has a 45-day review period, which may or may not run concurrently with the public comment period.
