INSTRUCTIONS
Section 1About This Guide
Introduction
This guide is intended to provide Project Proponents, Contractors, and DPW
staff with the basic and essential information required to maintain
compliance with the various AIR EMISSIONS CONTROL regulatory agencies,
statutory requirements, permits, and sustainability efforts that Fort Carson
(FTC) must adhere to.
The AIR QUALITY ASSESSMENT form (AQA) has been integrated into this guide,
and is the essential reporting and planning document used by the Air Program
to ensure compliance with the various New Source Review laws, Ozone Depleting
Substance management, New Source Performance Standards, the FTC Title V
Operating Permit (95OPEP110), Green House Gas Reporting, General Conformity,
and Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) regulations.
Responsibility
The Proponent / Contractor is responsible for reading and understanding the
requirements outlined in this guide in there entirety, and then completing
the applicable portions of the Air Quality Assessment form.
The Air Program will analyze the project / action to determine if a threshold
of significance will be exceeded and then document the findings in the NEPA
review. You may be contacted to gather additional information for further
analysis. A full general conformity analysis, PSD permit, or Construction
permit (New Source Review (NSR)) MAY BE REQUIRED. Please be advised that any
required permit MUST BE RECEIVED PRIOR TO THE START OF CONSTRUCTION, and can
take anywhere from 120 to 180 days to receive (PSD permits can take 18+ months).
AQA Form Instructions
1.) Complete only the AQA form sections (1 - 6) that are applicable to your project, activity, or task. If a section does not apply, use the check box at the top of the section to indicate so. It is critical that you provide accurate information regarding the proposed activity as it will be come the basis for required permit and NEPA actions.
2) Part A and Part B Requirements: The POC for the project is to determine what portions of the AQA to be completed for submission to the FTC Air Program. Depending on the air requirement being addressed, the AQA should be submitted no less than 3 weeks prior to the initiation of the proposed project. NOTE: for air quality permits on new sources, the lead time is 180 days prior to construction. Part B requirements, if applicable, are due at the conclusion of the project or on an annual basis if the project spans multiple years.
Electronic submission is preferred.
3.) Provide all required data in the green shaded cells if applicable. Several
cells contain conditional formatting and data validation (drop down) that will
require the preparer to select the most approximate match for the data to be
provided.

Section 2Fugitive Particulate Matter (Dust) Emissions
Fugitive Particulate Matter (PM) DefinitionBack to Menu
Fugitive Particulate Emissions; As defined under Colorado AQCR, means fugitive
emissions of particulate matter that are the direct or proximate result of
man's activities, (e.g., Materials left by man from development projects that
are exposed to the wind or later acted upon by another force such automobile
traffic, or particulate matter being thrown into the atmosphere by the
operation of a bulldozer, material handling operations, etc...)
Air Program Guidance / RequirementsBack to Menu
Land Disturbance Air Permit Application(s)
Under Colorado air quality regulations, land development refers to all
land clearing activities, including but not limited to land preparation
such as excavating or grading, for residential, commercial, or
industrial development, or oil and gas exploration and production. Land
development activities release fugitive dust, a pollutant regulated by
the Air Pollution Control Division (Division) at the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment.
1.) For projects lasting in duration for greater than 6 months, or have
a total disturbed area of greater than 25 acres, proponents and/or
contractors shall submit either a Land Development Air pollution
Emissions Notice (LD APEN) or file for project inclusion under the
State's General Permit.
2.) The links below provide an overview of the air pollution reporting
and permitting requirements that may apply to land development
activities.

Section 2 ContinuedFugitive Particulate Matter (Dust) Emissions
Paved RoadsBack to Menu
Any person who through operations or activities repeatedly deposits
materials which may create fugitive particulate emissions on a public
or private paved roadway is required to comply with the following to
minimize such emissions;
1.) Gravel entryways shall be utilized to prevent mud and dirt carryout
onto paved surfaces.
2.) Any mud or dirt tracked out onto paved surfaces shall be cleaned up
daily.
Storage and Handling of MaterialsBack to Menu
Any owner or operator or any new or existing materials storage and
handling operation from which fugitive particulate emissions will be
emitted shall be required to comply with the following regulations and
controls in order to minimize such emissions;
1.) 20% opacity limit shall apply to storage and handling of materials.
2.) No off-property transport emission limitation guidelines shall
apply to storage and handling of materials.
3.) Water and use controls as necessary to comply with the law.
Haul RoadsBack to Menu
FTC has a State enforceableFugitive Dust Control Planand a mandate
to control emissions to the extent possible and practical from all dirt
roads on the installation.
1.) Contractors which contribute significantly to trip counts (> 40
vehicles/day) along any section of the installation's dirt roads for
hauling purposes will be required to assist in maintaining emissions
control by watering to the extent that no nuisance emissions are
created.
2.) Contractors shall adhere to posted speed limits on all roads at all
times.
Haul Trucks
Any owner or operator of any new or existing haul trucks from which
fugitive particulate emissions will be emitted shall be required to;
1.) Cover all loads when trucks are leaving the work site (work site
is defined as the immediate construction area as defined by the permit
or APEN application).
FTC Project Compliance Guide (Air Program)2 - 2
Section 2 ContinuedFugitive Particulate Matter (Dust) Emissions
Sandblasting OperationsBack to Menu
Any owner or operator of any new or existing sandblasting activities
from which fugitive particulate emissions will be emitted shall be
required to;
1.) Comply with the 20% opacity emission limitation guideline.
2.) Use control methods inherent to the industry standards to comply
with the law.
Demolition Activities
Employ watering to prevent potentially harmful construction debris and
fine particulate matter from being transported off-site (off-site is
defined as any property adjacent to the demolition property).
FTC Project Compliance Guide (Air Program)2 - 3
Section 3General Conformity
Construction Activities (General Conformity Definition)Back to Menu
For Federal actions a Conformity Determination is required for each pollutant
where the total of direct and indirect emissions in a nonattainment or
maintenance area caused by a Federal action would equal or exceed the
applicable De Minimis or Regional Significance thresholds. 40 CFR 93.153(c)
contains actions exempt from this requirement. A Record of Non-Applicability
should be prepared for any action exempted, or where emissions are less than
the above referenced significance thresholds.
Air Program Guidance / RequirementsBack to Menu
Conformity Reviews
All federal actions taking place within the Colorado Springs Carbon
Monoxide Maintenance Area (FTC Cantonment Area) must undergo a General
Conformity Analysis.
All planned projects, actions, and initiatives must be accurately
captured and conveyed to the DPW-ED Air Program via the Air Quality
Assessment (AQA) form. This information is required BEFORE the action
begins so that the Air Program can complete the emissions analysis (if
applicable) and document the conforming action via the Record of Non-
Applicability (RONA), or one of the other methods as outlined in the
reference CFR.
1.) Complete the AQA form. General exemptions are given for common
conforming actions, that under the law do not require an emissions
analysis. If the form button below is disabled then based on your input
under the general project description, a conformity review is not
required.
2.) Project Proponents are responsible for contacting the Air Program
to inquire about the status of their action/project. Please allow up to
2 weeks after submission to complete the emissions analysis.
3.) In most cases projects will be exempt from the general conformity
determination requirements. However the analysis must still be
completed, and records must be maintained by the facility. In most
circumstances this form will constitute the record of review.

Section 3 ContinuedGeneral Conformity
FTC Project Compliance Guide (Air Program)3 - 2
Section 4New Source Review
New Source Review (NSR) & Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD)Back to Menu
Fort Carson must manage contemporaneous changes to potential emissions from
the installation that would cause or could be defined as a major modification
under PSD, trigger New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for a listed source
category, or require a construction permit under the states NSR rules.
Air Program Guidance / RequirementsBack to Menu
New Stationary Sources of External Combustion (ECU)
All new Boilers and H2O Heaters should be equipped or installed with
certified Low NOx controls capable of reducing these exhaust gases to
less than 30 ppm (corrected to 3% excess O2).
For H2O Heaters with heat inputs less than 400,000 btu/hr., the unit
must be SCAQMD Rule 1146.2 certified and produce not more than 55 ppm
of NOx (corrected to 3% excess O2).
Indirect Fired Make-up Air Units (MAU) should not be used on the
installation since these units do not offer any emissions controls.
Direct Fired MAUs may be used in limited circumstances but must be ANSI
83.4 or Z83.18 certified.
1.) All External Combustion Equipment installed, regardless of fuel
type, must be reported to the DPW-ED Air Program via the equipment
schedule portion of the Air Quality Assessment (AQA) form. This
information is required BEFORE construction begins so that compliance,
permitting, and modification (PSD) determinations can be made.
New Stationary Sources of Internal Combustion (ICU) i.e. EnginesBack to Menu
All Internal Combustion Engines, emergency or otherwise, not previously
existing on FTC must receive an Air Emissions Construction Permit prior
to construction (defined as foundation installation). The Engine must
be certified by the manufacturer to the appropriate emissions control
tier, based on the size of the unit and the date of manufacture.
1.) All planned Internal Combustion Engines, regardless of fuel
type and size, must be reported to the DPW-ED Air Program via the
equipment schedule portion of the Air Quality Assessment (AQA)
form. This information is required BEFORE construction begins so that
Air Permit Applications can be submitted early enough to receive
timely permits and not cause undue delay to the project
construction schedules. ALL UNITS CURRENTLY REQUIRE A PERMIT.
FTC Project Compliance Guide (Air Program)4 - 1
Section 4 ContinuedNew Source Review
Other Stationary Sources of Criteria Pollutant EmissionsBack to Menu
Any other sources of air pollution not specifically identified above
must be reported to the air program for a regulatory determination.
The determination will document the source type and the compliance
status for the source well in advance of it's proposed operation.
Examples of other sources include, parts washers and weapons cleaners,
wood working shop tools, welding devices, paint booths, lab equipment,
and any air pollution control devices to be connected to any existing or
proposed piece of equipment.
1.) Provide initial details on the source via the AQA form.
FTC Project Compliance Guide (Air Program)4 - 2
Section 5Ozone Depleting Substances
Ozone Depleting Substance & Refrigerant Containing EquipmentBack to Menu
The required production and use phase out of Class II Ozone Depleting Compounds
(ODC) requires that new HVAC equipment manufacturers must utilize Non-ODC
refrigerants for equipment manufactured after 1/1/2010. Given the useful life
of the equipment and facilities they support, Fort Carson should avoid
specifying and using any Class II substance (ex. R-22) containing equipment to
avoid potentially costly material acquisitions in the future due to supply
issues. ALL Class I (ex. R-12, Halon) refrigerants are strictly controlled by
DoD. If Class I substances are used and / or discovered contact the Air
Program immediately for the requirements!!!
Air Program Guidance / RequirementsBack to Menu
Refrigerant Types
HVAC equipment refrigerants should have an Ozone Depletion Potential of
"0.0". Acceptable (HFC) refrigerant types include: R-23, R-134a,
R-407a, b, & c, R-410a, & R-507.
DoD policy requires that ALL Class I and pure HCFC-22 (a Class II
substance) must remain under DoD control at all times. Class I
substances may not be stockpiled at an installation. Any portion not
immediately used must be turned in to the ODC Strategic reserve. Pure
HCFC-22 may be stored for use on installations or turned in to the ODC
reserve.
1.) All ODS Containing Equipment installed, regardless of refrigerant
type, must be reported to the DPW-ED Air Program via the equipment
schedule portion of the Air Quality Assessment (AQA) form. This
information is required so that compliance and registration
determinations can be made.
2.) Any and all personnel engaging in any maintenance, repair, charging,
or re-recharging, or any other activity upon any ODC containing
equipment must be EPA certified, maintain records, and comply with 40
CFR parts 82 Subparts A, B, E, and F. This requirement is applicable to
stationary and mobile assets, and is subject to enforcement under the
Clean Air Act.40 CFR Part 82 -- Protection of Stratospheric Ozone
3.) All records of certification and service (other than those of KIRA)
shall be made available to Air Program personnel upon request. Any
records obtained will remain on site as proof of compliance.
FTC Project Compliance Guide (Air Program)5 - 1
Section 6Chemical & Product Use Reporting
Product Use ReportingBack to Menu
Per condition 18.2 of the Fort Carson Title V Permit (95OPEP110), "Fort Carson
shall track emissions of Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) from all insignificant
activities on a calendar year basis. Calculations shall be completed by
April 30 for the previous calendar year. For mass balance calculations, the
permit holder shall assume that the total HAP contained in the raw material
used is emitted to the atmosphere. HAP content shall be determined from the
specific Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs). Records of emission calculations
and the MSDS shall be maintained by the permit holder and made available to the
Division for inspection upon request. For the purposes of this condition,
insignificant activities shall be defined as any activity or equipment which
emits any amount of emissions but does not require an APEN (NOT the same as a
Land development APEN).
Air Program Guidance / Requirements
Construction, Maintenance, Renovations, and Other Contracted Functions
Entities engaged in activities matching the description above must
provide Fort Carson with a detailed accounting of all materials and
products used to accomplish the activity or task. This information
is required to comply with the Title V Permit, and maintain an
Area Source status for Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) emissions.
For ALL Projects:
1.) Reporting Scenario 1: Provide an MSDS for ALL products used during
the project. Report product units and amounts used on the 1st page of
the MSDS.
2.) Reporting Scenario 2: Completely fill out the "Product Use" section
of the Air Quality Assessment (AQA) form and provide the data to the Air
Program at the conclusion of the project. The Air Program can then
obtain a copy of the specific products' MSDS copy for our compliance
calculations and records.
3.) Reporting Frequency (All Scenarios): For projects starting and
concluding within the same calendar year (CY), Part B reporting will be
due at the conclusion of the project. Multiyear projects shall report
Part B data annually by no later than 1/30 for each subsequent calendar
year the project extends into, and then submit final CY data immediately
upon conclusion of the project.
