Wheaton College

SERVICE:

RES Permit and Online Source Registration

DESCRIPTION:

Wheaton College wanted more operational flexibility regarding its heating equipment, but could not change its current procedures because of limitations it had accepted as part of its Restricted Emissions Status (RES) Approval.  Specifically, Wheaton wanted to adjust fuel usage as the market changed. The College also needed to accurately predict air emissions each year and to report these emissions using the eDEP program.

Tech assisted Wheaton College by submitting a permit application to modify the RES permit.  This modification allowed the College to remain a minor source of NOx, avoiding substantial permitting requirements, even as it added new emissions units.  As part of the annual Source Registration submittal, the College's equipment was reviewed and the emissions were calculated.  This information was submitted to the MassDEP using the online eDEP program.
