Read the first 7 Emissions Control & Environmental Compliance flashcards as text

  1. Under New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), which newly constructed or modified emission source category in food processing is subject to Subpart DD regulations?

    Answer: Grain elevators

    NSPS Subpart DD establishes emission standards for grain elevators, covering particulate matter from grain handling and storage operations.

  2. An auditor reviews a facility's compliance assurance monitoring (CAM) plan. What is the primary purpose of CAM under 40 CFR Part 64?

    Answer: Provide quality-assured monitoring data to verify that large emission units achieve and maintain compliance

    CAM requires facilities with large emission units to use monitoring approaches that provide reliable data for assuring ongoing compliance with applicable emission limitations.

  3. What distinguishes a 'significant permit modification' from a 'minor permit modification' under Title V?

    Answer: Significant modifications require public notice and comment; minor modifications use a streamlined process

    Significant permit modifications trigger public notice, comment periods, and potentially EPA review, while minor modifications follow an expedited administrative process.

  4. A chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerant system leaks more than 30% of its charge annually. Under EPA Section 608, what must the facility do within 30 days of discovering the leak?

    Answer: Retrofit or retire the appliance, or develop a retrofit/retirement plan

    Section 608 requires facilities to retrofit or retire appliances that exceed the 30% annual leak rate threshold, or develop and implement a plan to do so within 30 days.

  5. During an environmental management system audit following ISO 14001, which element ensures that legal and other environmental requirements are identified and tracked?

    Answer: Compliance obligations

    ISO 14001 Clause 6.1.3 'Compliance Obligations' requires organizations to determine, access, and keep up to date all applicable legal and other environmental requirements.

  6. A facility generates wastewater with a BOD of 1,200 mg/L before discharging to the POTW. The pretreatment permit allows 600 mg/L. Which corrective action is most appropriate?

    Answer: Install or upgrade an on-site pre-treatment system such as an equalization basin or anaerobic digester

    Installing pre-treatment equipment is the compliant and sustainable solution; dilution is prohibited under the Clean Water Act as a treatment method.

  7. Under RCRA, a food processing facility that generates between 100 kg and 1,000 kg of hazardous waste per month is classified as which generator category?

    Answer: Small Quantity Generator (SQG)

    Under the 2016 Generator Improvements Rule, facilities generating 100–1,000 kg/month of hazardous waste are classified as Small Quantity Generators (SQG).
