San Francisco Public Utilities Commission
KJ assisted Subaru of Indiana Automotive (SIA) submit an air permit application for major expansion project at SIA’s vehicle assembly plant. KJ worked closely with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) to ensure the permit application contained the required information, and quickly answered questions so IDEM could issue the permit in a timely manner.
By expeditiously performing these activities, IDEM issued the permit in less than 6 months—a process than can typically take 8 to 12 months. Issuance of this permit allowed SIA to increase its plant output capacity by nearly 20%.
The work performed by the KJ team included:
- Assistance with supporting SIA with preparation of several environmental reports due to the appropriate regulatory agencies
- Air permitting support for future physical changes being considered by SIA for operations performed at the plant including preparing the plant’s Form R Report, annual Air Emission Report, and Tier II report
- Preparation of a significant source /permit modification request, which included addressing previous operations that may not have been correctly referenced in the plant’s current Title V Operating Permit, as well as incorporation of future changes being proposed for the plant.
