I've worked with clean air agencies before at both the state and federal level and this information is useless without context. Sometimes you can exceed short term thresholds for emergency reasons and still stay within your long term thresholds. If you have added capacity or other reasons why you aren't under current permit limits then you can get a new limit. The last 2 years of COVID have slowed every response down...that includes official testing (which is a joke really), changes to what is being checked as well as permit reviews (our normal routine permit lapsed because the agency is so far behind). We self reported an overflow spill on the ground of ~10K gallons of water that had come directly from city water (this is a violation...it is not allowed in our waste water permit) over 18 months ago and it still hasn't been reviewed.
