PROJECT DESCRIPTION

General Binding will be reissued a synthetic permit with modifications. One emission point will be added for the coating of easel boards by applying a water-based acrylic polyurethane coating to the back side of the board.  Emission Points AA-003 and AA-004 will be removed as there are no emissions emitted to the atmosphere.       

EXISTING SYNTHETIC MINOR LIMITATIONS

For AA-002, the permittee will not operate the saws unless the baghouse is operating in conjunction with the saws. This will ensure the facility remains well below the 100 tons/yr of PM.  

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

The 30-day public notice period will begin on September 1, 2017, with the publication of a notice in the paper and end on October 3, 2017.

RECOMMENDATION

The staff has preliminarily decided to recommend issuance of the permit to the Mississippi Environmental Quality Permit Board as shown in the draft permit.  However, the staff recommendation to the Board will be made only after a thorough consideration of all public comments.
