1. What is the purpose of this permit? This permitting action is to revise the operating permit to increase the plantwide limit for emissions of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) from 25 tons per year to 100 tons per year. The facility will now be subject to the Strategic Toxic Air Reduction (STAR) program. This increased limit continues to exclude the source from the Title V Operating Permit program.
2. Will this permit increase pollution? Operating Permit O-1847-21-F (R1) will increase the plantwide limit for emissions of VOCs from 25 tons per year to 100 tons per year. The facility has been determined to be de minimis for all Toxic Air Contaminants (TAC) emissions with controls.
3. Does this facility have a history of non-compliance? The facility does not have a history of any non-compliance.
4. Where can I find out more? Additional information, including equipment descriptions, potential emissions, and applicable rules, are summarized in the Statement of Basis. The Draft Permit details the application of these rules to the equipment and includes the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting that the District believes is necessary to demonstrate compliance.
