Air quality compliance

Securing an air permit that a facility can realistically comply with is only the first step. Without consistent oversight and reliable systems, even routine events—like an employee’s vacation or retirement—can disrupt a compliance program. Tora emphasizes seamless, error-proof solutions that keep your operations on track, such as:

  • Program development, implementation, and tracking
  • Site-Specific Management Plans (SSMP) for air pollution control equipment
  • Standard Operating Procedure development
  • Emission inventories and routine reporting, including CEMS data evaluation for NESHAP compliance
  • Employee training, informational postings, and one-point lessons
  • Stopgap services during employee leave or staffing transitions
  • Public air monitoring data analysis and trending
  • LDAR services: program design, implementation, evaluation, and audits to minimize fugitive emissions
  • Collaboration with internal and external legal counsel
  • Response to Agency Information Requests and NOVs, including corrective action development and tracking
  • Control device comparison, selection, and cost-benefit analysis

Thank you! This made my weekend. That was a pretty significant decrease to get the PM 10 and 2.5 values as low as you did—great job, team! My weekend is already made because of the Tora team’s hard work to get the air dispersion model to pass.
