Who has the Authority?

• A Title V permit is an operating permit required under Title V of the Clean Air Act. The Title V permit brings together the Federal, State, and City Air Pollution Control requirements for the entire facility into one permit. EPA has given the Missouri Department of Natural Resources authority to implement the Title V program. The rules are promulgated in the Missouri Air Conservation Law, Section 643.
• The City of St. Louis Air Pollution Control Division will process the City of St. Louis Title V permit applications and prepare draft permits following the guidelines specified in the Missouri Administrative Code. The final Title V permits will be issued by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. In addition to state and federal permit review, the draft permit will be available for public comment before the final permit is issued.
• Some major sources may be eligible to obtain a Intermediate Operating Permit instead of the Title V permit. The Intermediate Operating Permit is a Federally enforceable State permit that contains emission limits to keep the facility from becoming a Title V facility.
