Full-Service Air Compliance Support

Air quality regulations are technical, detailed, and different in every jurisdiction. Our services are built to meet your needs—whether you're building a new facility, managing routine inspections, or recovering from a Notice of Violation.

Air Permitting

We handle requests for determination (RFD), pre-construction air permits, and plan approvals, ensuring that your project gets permitted correctly and efficiently. We also support operating permits, including five-year renewals and amendments, to keep your facility compliant for the long haul.  And if your facility qualifies for a General Permit or needs a transfer of ownership, we can help with that, too.

Air Compliance & Reporting

Compliance doesn’t stop once your permit is issued. We help clients manage ongoing responsibilities including emissions tracking, stack testing, recordkeeping, and reporting to EPA and state agencies. We also provide work practice training and routine monitoring support to ensure everyday operations meet your permit’s conditions.

Air Dispersion Modeling & Risk Assessments

For more complex facilities or sites with sensitive neighbors, we offer air screening, air dispersion modeling, health risk assessments, and site-specific air studies. These tools help quantify impacts, demonstrate compliance, and support successful permitting and public outreach.

Environmental Audits & Compliance Assessments

Whether preparing for an inspection or evaluating a newly acquired facility, we provide full-scale environmental gap assessments. Our air quality audits help you identify areas of non-compliance, document successes, and build a defensible compliance program for regulators and internal stakeholders alike.

Industries We Serve

Air quality compliance affects nearly every sector. We have experience supporting:

  • Hospitals and Healthcare Networks:  Air permitting for boilers, emergency generators, sterilizers, and cogeneration plants.
  • Manufacturing and Industrial Facilities: Permitting for complex emission sources including food processors, textile mills, and fertilizer plants.
  • Institutional and Commercial Facilities: Title V permitting and compliance for major sources where energy usage cannot be restricted, as well as Natural, Synthetic Minor, and General Permits for smaller sources of emissions.
  • Mining and Aggregate Operations: Support for portable and stationary crushers, screeners, engines, and mobile equipment.
  • Solid Waste and Energy: Landfills, renewable natural gas (RNG) facilities, and landfill gas to energy (LFGTE) plants.

From hospital campuses to industrial plants, we tailor our approach to meet your compliance goals, budget, and operational needs.

Practical Solutions for Complex Operations

Air quality compliance is an ongoing process of monitoring, maintenance, and adaptation. From permits to audits, industrial manufacturing to healthcare, RESPEC supports clients in managing air programs that are both technically sound and operationally realistic.

We deploy decades of experience across sectors and states to cut through complexity, reduce risk, and meet air quality standards with confidence.
