The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) Department of Air Pollution Control (DAPC) has developed a new Permit-To-Install (PTI) application and new Emissions Activity Category (EAC) forms and instructions.  The new forms have been revised to eliminate redundancy, reduce the number of requests for further information, and to make the forms more user-friendly.  The new PTI application requests more specific contact and facility information so the Agency can more accurately manage environmental data.

The PTI application and instructions are available in WordPerfect 8 (WP8), Microsoft Work (MS Word), and PDF formats.  The EAC Forms are currently available in WP8 and PDF.  The conversion of EAC forms to MS Word will be completed over the next six months.  All of the new forms can be accessed from DSPC’s Webpage (www.epa.state.oh.us/dapc) by selecting the appropriate files to download.

The new EAC Forms will not be available in STARShip until STARShip2 is developed. For now, Title V facilities may continue to use the old forms.  The new forms can be attached to the applications as “flat” EAC Forms.  See the last section in Chapter 5 of the STARShip Users Manual for instructions. 

Ohio EPA will continue to accept the old PTI application through April 1, 2004.  The old EAC Forms will continue to be accepted until STARShip2 is developed.
