PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Hickman Metal Recycling has submitted an application for a Permit to Construct Air equipment. The facility receives recycled scrap metals and wood pallets which it shreds on-site then ships to secondary metal producers. The facility is proposing to install one (1) 1,200 HP diesel-fired, compression ignition engine which was manufactured in 1966. The engine serves to power the grinding machine which shreds the recyclable materials.

In addition to the NOX and operating limitations above, the proposed engine is also subject to and shall comply with all applicable requirements of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ - National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines.
