Environmental Engineering and Permitting

Franklin Engineering provides a full range of environmental engineering and permitting services to assist manufacturing facilities in complying with the Clean Air Act, RCRA, and OSHA regulations. We assist facilities in all aspects of air permitting including Title V permits, state air construction and operating permits, applicability determinations (i.e. MACT), emission inventories, compliance plans, emission testing, monitoring plans, and recordkeeping. Franklin Engineering can prepare complete permit applications, review and revise existing documentation, or provide facility compliance inspections and audits. We are proficient in all aspects of RCRA permitting for hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities including Part B permit applications, trial burn planning and execution for incineration systems, waste analysis plans, Subparts BB and CC monitoring, and risk assessment. We provide applicability determinations and compliance documentation for the OSHA Process Safety Management regulations.
