A Statement of Basis has been prepared that contains a discussion of the decision-making that went into the development of the permit and provides the permitting authority, the public, and other government bodies a record of the technical issues surrounding issuance of the permit. The Statement of Basis also addresses any changes to emissions and/or discharges resulting from any modification of the facility.  
Kloeckner Metals Corporation has submitted an application to renew their existing Synthetic Minor Operating Permit (SMOP). Kloeckner operates a steel cutting and machining facility which produces steel parts which are then shipped to customers for assembly. The emissions sources at the facility include abrasive blasting operations, metal working operations (including metal cutting, drilling, grinding, welding, etc.), surface coating operations, fuel burning equipment, and storage tanks. The facilities operations have the potential to emit the following criteria pollutants: Particulate Matter (PM), Particulate Matter with a diameter of 10 microns or less (PM10), Particulate Matter with a diameter of 2.5 microns or less (PM2.5), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen Oxides (NOX), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs). In order to remain below the Title V thresholds, the permittee shall limit the emissions of VOCs to no more than 95.0 tons per year, the emissions of PM, PM10, and PM2.5 to no more than 99.0 tons per year, and the emissions of any individual and total combined HAPs to 9.0 and 24.0 tons per year, respectively. Furthermore, the facility is subject to and shall comply with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart XXXXXX. As such, the facility must comply with several work practice standards for various operations located on-site.
