PM2.5 Implementation History and BACT Analysis

This is something I submitted to Indiana Department of Environmental Quality for the Synergy Management lime plant permit application in September 2010. The implementation history may be of general interest (though as of a couple of weeks ago, a third implementation rule was finalized). Its usefulness is limited now and rapidly diminishing, but interesting nonetheless. Don't know yet if the agency bought everything, but they at least seem to be seriously considering it.

Montana Legislature: Publications and Reports - Environmental Quality Council

Several possibly useful publications from the Montana Environmental Quality Council. Note especially the 2010 "Permitting in Montana" document and the 2008 "Montana Index of Environmental Permits" documents. The first includes a nice graphic of permitting steps and timelines for air quality. The second is a 261 page description of all the permits that may apply to a large variety of projects.
