PUBLIC NOTICE


Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality
Air Quality Division

Notice is given to the public, according to Chapter 14 of Title 129 - Nebraska Air Quality Regulations, that the Department is proposing to issue a Class II operating permit to Duonix Beatrice LP for the operation of a biodiesel plant (Standard Industrial Classification code 2869) located at 722 Kinney Drive, Beatrice, Nebraska. The potential emissions of regulated air pollutants (in tons per year (tpy)) at this facility will be: 9.98 tpy of Particulate Matter (PM), 9.93 tpy of PM ≤ 10 microns (PM10), 9.75 tpy PM ≤ 2.5 microns (PM2.5), 0.72 tpy Sulfur Dioxide, 62.64 tpy Oxides of Nitrogen, 81.44 tpy Carbon Monoxide, 73.84 tpy Volatile Organic Compounds, 7.58 tpy of Methanol (largest quantity individual Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP), 8.97 tpy total HAPs, and 103,037.36 tpy Greenhouse Gases CO2 equivalents (CO2e).

Gage County meets the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for those pollutants subject to a NAAQS and is expected to continue in that status. Gage County is unclassifiable in regard to the state Total Reduced Sulfur (TRS) standards and no significant impact on these standards is expected from this project. No impact is anticipated on habitat for any rare or threatened species.



The NDEQ proposes to issue a Class II operating permit with specific conditions, based on Title 129, which limits the type of fuel combusted, specifies the requirements from federal rules: NSPS (40 CFR 60) Subparts A, Kb, VVa, NNN, and RRR and NESHAP (40 CFR 63) Subparts A, and ZZZZ, requires performance testing and opacity monitoring, and requires applicable recordkeeping and reporting.

The proposed permit and supporting materials are available for inspection by the public August 15, 2018 through September 17, 2018 at the office of the NDEQ, Suite 400, 1200 "N" Street, Lincoln, Nebraska, and electronically at http://deq.ne.gov.

During this period the applicant, or any interested person or group of persons, may request or petition the Director for a public hearing, the request must state the nature of the issues to be raised and all arguments and factual grounds supporting their position.
