The Department additionally proposes to incorporate into the operating permit to be issued modified versions of several previously-established conditions limiting the air contaminant emissions from the entire facility as well as a new condition requiring the performance of stack testing prior to the expiration of the operating permit.
These conditions include:
* Conditions limiting the facilitywide emission of NOx, CO, SOx, VOC and PM10 to 66.17, 94.18, 99.64, 22.36 and 29.71 tons, respectively, in any 12-consecutive month period.
* A condition requiring the performance of particulate matter, NOx, CO and VOC testing on the asphalt plant sometime between 4 and 4.5 years after operating permit issuance.
