PUBLIC NOTICE


Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality
Air Quality Division

Notice is given to the public, according to Chapter 14 of Nebraska Administrative Code Title 129 - Nebraska Air Quality Regulations, that the Department is proposing to issue a construction permit to Naturally Recycled Proteins, LLC (FID 80265), a pet protein manufacturing facility with a request to expand their facility (Standard Industrial Classification code 2047) located at 58555 Highway 35 East, Wakefield, Dixon County, Nebraska. The anticipated change in emissions of regulated air contaminants in tons per year (tpy) due to the proposed construction at this facility will be: -100.28 tpy of Particulate Matter (PM); 1.69 tpy of PM ≤ 10 microns (PM10); -0.89 tpy PM ≤ 2.5 microns (PM2.5); 0.10 tpy Sulfur Dioxide; 18.11 tpy Oxides of Nitrogen; 15.21 tpy Carbon Monoxide; 25.81 tpy Volatile Organic Compounds; and 0.61 tpy total HAPs.

Dixon County meets the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for those pollutants subject to a NAAQS and is expected to continue in that status. No impact is anticipated on habitat for any rare or threatened species.

The Department proposes to issue a construction permit with specific conditions, based on Title 129, which requires the use of PM, PM10, and PM2.5 control equipment; limits PM, PM10, PM2.5, and VOC emissions from major emission units; requires performance testing, and; specifies recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

The proposed permit and supporting materials are available Thursday, April 12, 2018 through Monday, May 14, 2018 at the NDEQ, Suite 400, 1200 "N" Street, Lincoln, Nebraska, and electronically at http://deq.ne.gov.
