Air Quality

SLR's air quality and compliance team stay at the forefront of evolving air regulations and science.

Air quality issues continue to evolve, becoming ever more complex and adding uncertainties to any project or operation’s viability. Unrecognized or unresolved, these issues can result in significant project delays and unanticipated costs beyond project and operating budgets.

Air Quality services performed by SLR Consulting

Overview

The US air quality team brings experience with the assessment of impacts associated across all business sectors including Oil and Gas, Mining and Minerals, Industry, Power, Infrastructure, and Built Environment.

Our solutions include project regulatory applicability and feasibility assessments and engineering and technical analyses to identify issues that must be addressed to obtain state and/ or federal air permit approvals for the most complex projects. We also provide specialized expertise in design, installation and operation of ambient monitoring networks, emissions monitoring systems, and process-related source testing. Our capabilities also address routine and non-routine support for regulatory compliance review, enforcement actions, and process safety and hazard analysis.
