Lehigh Permanente Cement announced Tuesday that the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) renewed Lehigh Permanente’s Title V Permit, after a review and approval process conducted by local, regional and federal environmental regulators.
Lehigh’s Title V permit includes finalized federal emissions standards as requested by Region 9 of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Lehigh installed a new system in April 2011 to comply with the future mercury emission limits, well in advance of the compliance deadline.
Lehigh's renewed Title V permit will be due for review on April 16, 2017.
