An-Cor Industrial Plastics is a reinforced composite production facility that manufactures products by using thermoset resins containing Styrene. This Department has prepared a Draft Permit and has made a tentative determination to approve this federally enforceable Air State Facility permit which describes emission caps to limit annual potential emissons of Styrene to less than 10 tons per year and annual potential total Hazardous Air Pollutants to less than 25 tons per year to establish the facility as a minor source not subject to the requirements of the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Reinforced Plastic Composites Production 40 CFR Part 63.5790 Subpart WWWW.  The facility also will be established as a minor facility under 6NYCRR Part 201 and 6NYCRR Part 212.10 (Reasonably Available Control Technology Requirements for Volatile Organic Compounds).  By accepting these caps the company will not require a Title V permit.
