Project Specifics

Geosyntec was retained by a confidential fuel storage terminal to assist them with environmental and air permitting, providing timely and responsive support for multiple projects at a Northern California fuel storage and distribution terminal.

Geosyntec Scope of Services

Turnkey air permitting work included emissions and best available control technology (BACT) evaluations for storage tanks, truck loading operations, piping fugitive leaks, vapor recovery equipment and ancillary units (e.g., diesel generators), as well as permitting modifications, conducting compliance assurance, drafting acceptable permit conditions, making health risk assessment determinations, and obtaining emission offsets. Geosyntec provided expert support, working together with the client, its attorneys, engineering team, and other contractors to deliver information, meet with agency staff, provide direction, advise on process and permitting timeline, and adjust strategy based on response from the agency.

Notable Accomplishments

Geosyntec managed and drove the process of gaining approvals that were critical to meeting construction and operational schedules. In doing so, we keep the client abreast of current developments and strategy with frequent and effective communications. With a multifaceted team, we have managed critical path actions and been in close contact with key agency personnel to secure permits, outline strategy, and provide the client with local insight needed to effectively manage both permitting and CEQA requirements. In addition, our experience with air permitting led to expedited approvals in some cases and workable permit conditions in others. Our experts represented the emission prevention potential of a state-of-the-art floating roof emission control technology to put forward projects that improve air quality.
