Air Permitting and Compliance
Sport Environmental has built its air permitting and compliance practice around the specific needs of upstream and midstream operators. Our team manages the full lifecycle of air authorizations, from applicability determinations and initial permit filings through ongoing compliance monitoring, emissions calculations, and regulatory reporting. We work directly with TCEQ, EPA, and other state agencies on your behalf, handling communications and filings so your operations team can stay focused on production.
Whether you are bringing a new facility online, modifying an existing operation, acquiring permitted assets, or responding to a regulatory inquiry, we provide the technical and regulatory expertise to keep your facilities authorized and compliant.
Sport Environmental helps operators navigate this evolving landscape with a structured approach that starts with understanding exactly which rules apply to your facilities and ends with the documentation and reporting needed to demonstrate compliance.
Applicability Assessments
We evaluate each facility against the construction, modification, and reconstruction dates that trigger NSPS applicability. This analysis covers well completions, pneumatic controllers, storage vessels, compressors, process units, and other affected equipment categories. Our goal is to give you a clear picture of which requirements apply to each asset so you can plan accordingly.
OOOOa and OOOOb Monitoring Plans
Both OOOOa and OOOOb require operators to develop and maintain monitoring plans that describe how fugitive emissions surveys will be conducted, what equipment is covered, and how the results will be recorded. We prepare monitoring plans that meet regulatory specifications and reflect the actual layout and operating conditions of your facilities. When rules change, we update the plans to match.
OGI Surveys and LDAR Integration
Our trained OGIC operators conduct optical gas imaging surveys that satisfy both OOOOa and OOOOb requirements. We manage survey scheduling, component tracking, leak identification, repair verification, and all associated recordkeeping. For operators with LDAR programs already in place, we integrate NSPS survey requirements into the existing program to avoid duplication of effort.
CEDRI Reporting
EPA’s Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface is the mandatory platform for submitting NSPS reports. We prepare and file all required CEDRI submissions on your behalf, including annual reports, performance test results, and other compliance data. Our team stays current on changes to the reporting platform and submission formats so your filings are accepted on the first attempt.
Regulatory Change Monitoring
The rulemaking process for NSPS standards is ongoing, and proposed amendments or reinterpretations can change compliance obligations with relatively short implementation timelines. We monitor federal register notices, EPA guidance documents, and enforcement trends, and we communicate relevant developments to our clients before they affect operations. Our position is that you should never learn about a new requirement from an inspector.
Evaluate Your Current Position
We start by reviewing your existing permits, registrations, and compliance records to identify any gaps, upcoming deadlines, or areas of exposure. If you are a new client, this initial review gives us the baseline we need to prioritize the work ahead.
Build a Compliance Roadmap
Based on that review, we develop a clear plan that outlines which permits need to be filed or updated, which reporting obligations are approaching, and what ongoing monitoring is required. You know exactly what needs to happen and when.
Execute and File
We prepare all permit applications, registrations, emission calculations, and reports, and submit them to the appropriate agency. We manage agency correspondence and respond to any questions or requests for additional information.
Monitor and Maintain
Compliance is not a one-time event. We track your filing calendar, monitor regulatory changes affecting your operations, and proactively flag any issues that require attention. Our goal is to ensure your facilities remain in compliance continuously, not just at the point of initial permitting.
