Frequently Asked Questions, Manufacturing and Power Plant Compliance
Who provides environmental compliance consulting for manufacturing plants in Louisiana?

As an employee-owned firm headquartered in Baton Rouge, CK supports plants with permit applications, compliance reporting, audits and agency negotiations.
What air permits does a power plant or manufacturing plant need?
Depending on emissions, a facility may need a state minor source permit, a Title V (Part 70) operating permit, and PSD or Nonattainment New Source Review permits for new or modified major sources. CK Associates prepares each of these and also handles greenhouse gas reporting and annual emissions inventories.

CK Associates performs 316(b) evaluations and comprehensive demonstration studies for facilities with cooling water intake structures, and supports the NPDES permitting that goes with them.

CK Associates performs air compliance auditing and prepares compliance plans and documentation. An audit compares permit conditions with day-to-day operations and records, so gaps can be closed before an inspection.
