PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This project is a proposed modification to an existing construction permit, issued to Sunbelt Shavings Company, on November 20, 2009.  Sunbelt Shavings finished construction of their plant on September 15, 2010.  However, after start-up, Sunbelt Shavings determined that additional equipment was needed to meet specifications of their product.  This modification is being done to include the addition of a fine flake shaving cyclone system.  Additionally, the applicant requested that an additional “alternate scenario” cyclone be added, in case it was needed in the future.  Existing emission points were reconfigured in the permit to accurately reflect operations at the facility.  A Synthetic Minor Operating Permit is being sent for notice concurrently with this modification. 

EXISTING SYNTHETIC MINOR LIMITATIONS

The source has a limitation in the existing construction permit of 96 tons per year for PM, PM10, and VOC.  These limitations are being assured using a condition which states that the throughput of the facility shall not exceed 86, 486 tons of green logs per year.
    
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

The 30-day public notice period began on May 17, 2013, with the publication of a notice in the Columbus Commercial Dispatch and ends June 16, 2013.

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.
