  5. Kansas Air Permitting Update Why Air Permits? • 1970 Clean Air Act (CAA) set national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for six “criteria” pollutants – SO2, NOx, CO, PM, Pb, and Ozone (regulated as VOC) • CAA amended in 1977 to authorize EPA standards for “prevention of significant deterioration (PSD)” to maintain good air quality. • 1990 amendments to CAA added a program to regulate a list of 187 hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) called MACT standards and Title V permits (also known as Class I permits) • EPA has approved Kansas air permitting SIP, thus transferring air permitting authority to the state. The state of Kansas has the authority to issue permits for facilities within its borders.
