Recent Projects

  • Air Permit – Commercial Printing Facility

    Latitudes Environmental performed a minor source air permit (Permit by Rule 106.418 for Printing Presses) for a new printing facility in Houston, Texas. This effort required a comprehensive understanding of the facility layout, printing presses, and chemicals. We utilized an approved methodology to calculate VOCs and hazardous air pollutants from all sources, and estimated total annual emissions. We completed the final application package and submitted it to the TCEQ for approval and registration prior to the facility’s start date. Future compliance efforts will involve recordkeeping and annual Air Emissions Inventory.

  • Standard Permit for Concrete Batch Plant – Energy Infrastructure Construction

    Latitudes prepared a Standard Permit for a temporary concrete batch plant utilized for the construction of an energy vault storage facility in South Texas. The new plant required coverage under the Non-Rule Air Quality Standard Permit for concrete plants. The air permitting application package included preparing the TCEQ application workbook, along with a facility plot plan, process narratives (describing operations, equipment, and material throughputs), flow diagrams, and area maps. We also evaluated whether or not this plant required a stormwater permit (TPDES General Permit No. TXG110000, associated with concrete plants), and determined it was not required, based on coverage under their existing construction SWPPP, and permit (NOI).
