Permit(s) Applied for:
Article 19 Air State Facility
Project is Located:
Ellicott, Chautauqua County
Project Description:
The Department has made a tentative determination to approve a modification to the existing Air State Facility Permit and prepared a draft permit for the facility which manufactures fused cast refractory.
The baghouse associated with the mold making slab and carousel line, emission point (EP) 0037A, will be replaced with a new and more efficient baghouse. The emission factor for particulate matter less than 10 micrometers in diameter (PM-10) from EP 0037A was changed from 0.83 lb/hr to 0.42 lb/hr in the PM-10 capping condition. The permit continues to limit PM-10 emissions to 80 tons for each rolling 12 month period in order to avoid Title V permitting requirements. This is the only modification to the permit.
This permit modification does not change the emission caps on oxides of nitrogen (NOx) or hexavalent chromium.
