Operating Permit Renewals – Expiration Dates

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has posted new guidance regarding expiration dates for Title V Operating Permit renewals and changes in the requirement for submitting a second renewal application when the first renewal application is still pending the Department’s review.

Essentially, the Department will now set the permit expiration date five (5) years from the issuance date of the renewed operating permit. Please note that this is different from our past practice of setting the expiration date in five-year intervals from the Initial operating permit issuance date. Also note that this new policy will have no impact on stack testing frequency, the stack test frequency will remain every five years.
