Break into groups to calculate emissions for a foundry. If class demographics warrant, there will be both an iron/steel foundry example and a non-ferrous foundry example. The focus of the groups will be on calculation methods and factors, not regulatory concepts. Each group will present their solutions to the entire class.

- Operating Permits (Including Title 5)
Return to groups formed during yesterday's sessions. Each group will determine the level of permitting required for the sources inventoried in the previous exercise. Modified emission units will be introduced. Determinations will be investigated as to whether and how the modification could avoid a higher-level permit review using a "Synthetic Minor" approach or by utilization of an alternative PSD applicability approach. Each group will discuss their solutions with the class.
