Project Number:
3220Massachusetts Ski Resort
SERVICE:
Air Permit Feasibility Assessment
DESCRIPTION:
Tech staff discovered that the resort had not properly registered their backup diesel ski lift engines under Mass ERP program regulations. The client did not ask for direct regulatory verification to cover these second-hand engines. Based on the install dates, vintage and nameplate ratings of these engines, Tech advised the client of their risk in not formally contacting MasDEP and registering this equipment. We developed record-keeping and operations practices to track maximum equipment run time, use of low-sulfur diesel, volume of fuel usage and routine maintenance activities to meet future regulatory requirements.
