JBR Environmental Consultants, Inc. (JBR) has been providing air quality services to Salt Lake City Department of Airports since 1998. Salt Lake City International Airport is required to comply with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), in addition to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the State of Utah’s Air Quality, Water Quality and Solid & Hazardous Waste Divisions. Because federal funds are used for airport projects, any construction improvement project or equipment upgrades must show compliance with “Conformity” rules under the Clean Air Act.
JBR has worked closely with the Salt Lake City Department of Airports to comply with the numerous regulatory requirements. JBR has prepared several permit modifications, performed compliance investigations, and conducted emission inventories. We have also assessed pollutant mitigation projects, using clean fuel alternatives and perform conformity analyses for runway, tarmac, apron, and parking lot construction projects. Our analyses have included stationary and mobile source emission modeling; and regulatory assessments. In addition, JBR has assisted the Department of Airports with permit negotiations and developed best management practices and fugitive dust control plans, which were implemented in conjunction with various construction projects.
