Specialty Consulting Inc. (SPC), formerly known as GSG, partnered with T.Y Lin International to provide crucial air quality compliance services for Chicago O'Hare International Airport, administered by the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA). As one of the world's busiest airport systems, ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal air pollution control regulations was paramount.
GSG's responsibilities encompassed a range of essential tasks, including collecting air sampling data, preparing compliance, emissions, and monitoring reports, and developing an episode action plan to address air quality concerns. Additionally, GSG was pivotal in recommending permit modification strategies to enhance compliance efficiency.
Unique challenges faced during the project included the need for comprehensive record-keeping and the development of tailored solutions to address specific air quality issues, such as permit variances for the Air Rescue and Fire Training Facility and fuel sulfur testing. GSG tackled these challenges by implementing robust recordkeeping forms and spreadsheets for emission units and offering additional services as needed, including DOA training and assistance with tenant APC permits and operations.
Through its expertise and proactive approach, GSG ensured that Chicago O'Hare International Airport remained compliant with air quality regulations, thereby contributing to the safety and well-being of airport personnel and the surrounding community.
