MARJORIE J. FITZPATRICK, QEP
Senior Project Manager

Ms. Fitzpatrick has approximately 25 years of experience in the environmental field. She has participated in and managed numerous projects for private clients and regulatory agencies, covering a wide range of industries and technical services. She is experienced in conducting air pollution dispersion modeling, preparing air permit applications for submission to state and local agencies, reviewing air emissions for determining applicability of regulatory programs, evaluating control system needs, estimating source emissions, and representing clients at negotiations and hearings. She has experience with all major air quality regulatory programs, including Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD), New Source Review (NSR), New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), Best Available Control Technology (BACT), Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT), Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER), Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT), Accidental Release Provisions, and the Clean Air Act, as amended (CAA). Ms. Fitzpatrick has provided guidance to a wide variety of clients to achieve or to continue to achieve compliance with applicable air quality regulations through practical and cost-effective means. She has assisted facilities that are out of compliance with multiple programs develop a comprehensive strategy for attaining compliance. These projects have included negotiations with regulators, technical assistance with consent agreements, and developing pragmatic plans for achieving compliance. Also, with the continued increase in air quality regulations, she has assisted many facilities in developing compliance strategies for newly promulgated regulatory requirements. Ms. Fitzpatrick has prepared air permit applications, including over 30 Title V and Synthetic Minor operating permit applications, for numerous operations in various states including: surface coating, food processing operations, material handling operations, cogeneration facilities, spray drying operations, metallurgical operations, organic and inorganic chemical manufacturing facilities. The projects have involved all levels of permitting, from amendments to existing operations from permitting for greenfield installations. The air permitting projects include evaluation of applicable regulations, review of air pollution control technologies, air dispersion modeling to show compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards or local air toxic requirements, and development of emission estimates. Ms. Fitzpatrick also has provided assistance to numerous clients in complying with the increasingly complex terms and conditions of construction and operating permits. This has included negotiation of operating terms and conditions, the development of recordkeeping and reporting programs, preparation of compliance assurance monitoring programs, and assisting in compliance testing by preparing stack test protocols and providing oversight of field testing programs. She has a broad base of experience with various federal, state, and local programs in various states. She has completed projects in various states across the country including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Indiana, New York, Ohio, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, Idaho, and Illinois. For a published study for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, she reviewed regulations for all 50 states for approximately 30 different industries. Ms. Fitzpatrick has used EPA-approved dispersion models to perform ambient impact analyses for various types of industrial facilities, ranging from simple screening models for a single stack to analyses for facilities with over 250 emission points and multiple pollutants located in complex terrain. With the promulgation of the Chemical Accident Prevention provisions as required by §112(r) of the CAA, Ms. Fitzpatrick has begun assisting facilities with offsite consequence analyses for chemical releases. This involves the use of a variety of different dispersion models to estimate the impacts of fires and explosions and toxic gases.
