12/15/2011 Ohio EPA renewed the NPDES Industrial Storm Water General Permit (OHR000005). If your facility is covered by this permit, you will need to submit a Notice of Intent within the next 90 days.

08/13/2011 EnvironmentHQ, the toolbox for the environmental professional is now available online! The search engine primarily searches my websites but I am expanding it gradually to include other sites after I have reviewed them. There is an environmental news feed which I will supplement as I find interesting items. Check it out! Bookmark it! Love it! It is a work in progress of course-- suggestions for links for the toolbox are welcomed!

Other Notes...
The Title V emissions fee for reporting year 2011 is $45.55 per ton.
If you received a PTIO in 2009, you will have a PER due based upon the date you selected in your application. The most common date is 2/15 of each year and covers the previous calendar year. Some PTIOs require quarterly reports in addition to the PER. Please check your permits and if you are not certain what your reporting requirements are, I can review your permits for you. Ohio EPA is supposed to mail the PER forms to you about 6 weeks prior to the due date. If you do not receive the form and you think your PER is due soon, please call me!
