Abstract |
The printing and packaging industries present unique challenges in the air permitting arena due to the diverse applications that exist within it as well as within individual facilities. In the printing and packaging industries, several different types of processes are employed, including lithographic, screen printing, flexographic, rotogravure, letterpress, and digital printing. Some facilities will exclusively use one of these printing process types, but it is not uncommon to find one or more of these processes used in the larger operations. Consistent with our goals to support effective, streamlined implementation of title V and other State permit programs, we have developed this technical support document (TSD) to assist you in issuing and revising such permits for printing, packaging, and other VOC emitters. We hope that, in addition to providing assistance to you, this document will also benefit environmental management personnel at these facilities and the public who will be reviewing and commenting on the draft title V permits. |
