COUNTY OF APPLING
To All Interested Parties:
The Georgia Environmental Protection Division announces its intent to modify Part 70 Air Quality Operating Permit No. 2421-001-0005-V-04-0 issued to Rayonier Wood Products LLC ╨ Baxley Sawmill by the issuance of Permit Amendment No. 2421-001-0005-V-04-1. The facility is located at 1830 Golden Isles East, Baxley, Georgia. The main purpose of this permit amendment is to convert the existing lumber dry kiln with ID No. KL02 from steam-heated batch operation to direct-fired continuous operation and remove Existing Lumber Dry Kiln KL03 and existing Boiler PB01, which will increase volatile organic compounds emissions by approximately 38.7 tons per year (tpy) and will decrease particulate matter (PM), PM10, PM2.5, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide total hazardous air pollutants, and greenhouse gases emission by approximately 5.70 tpy, 5.50 tpy, 5.50 tpy, 2.41 tpy, 47.4 tpy, 58.1 tpy, and 6.84 tpy and 19,300 tpy, respectively. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) has prepared this Title V Operating Permit Amendment in accordance with Title V of the Clean Air Act. This permit amendment will be enforceable by the Georgia EPD, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and other persons as otherwise authorized by law.
The draft permit amendment and all information used to develop the draft permit amendment are available for review. This includes the application and all other relevant materials available to the permitting authority. This information is available for review at the office of the Air Protection Branch, 4244 International Parkway, Atlanta Tradeport ╨ Suite 120, Atlanta, Georgia 30354. Copies of the draft permit, narrative, and permit application will be available on our Internet site, http//www.georgiaair.org/airpermit/html/permits/draft.html. (Please note that the Internet is generally accessible from most public libraries in Georgia.)
If copies are desired, a copying machine for public use is provided by EPD at the Atlanta Air Protection Branch office. There will be a copying charge of $0.10 per page. Copies will be made on a first-come, first-served basis. Files are available for review and copying 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday-Friday, excluding holidays.
You are hereby notified of the opportunity to submit written public comments concerning the draft Part 70 Operating Permit Modification. Persons wishing to comment on the draft Part 70 Operating Permit Modification are required to submit
their comments, in writing, to EPD at the above Atlanta Air Protection Branch office. Comments must be received by the EPD no later than 30 days after the date on which this notice is published in the newspaper. (Should the comment period end on weekend or holiday, comments will be accepted up until the next working day.) The Division, in making its final decision to issue the Part 70 permit, will consider all comments received on or prior to that date.
Any requests for a public hearing must be made within the 30-day public comment period. A request for a hearing should be in writing and should specify, in as much detail as possible the air quality related issues that constitute the basis for the request. Where possible, the individual making the request should also identify the portion(s) of the Georgia Rules for Air Quality Control and/or the Federal Rules that the individual making the request is concerned may not have been adequately incorporated into the draft permit. If a public hearing on the draft Title V Operating Permit is to be held, the date, time, and location of the hearing will be provided by a subsequent separate public notice. At such hearing, anyone may present data, make a statement or comment, or offer a viewpoint or argument either orally or in writing concerning the draft Title V permit. Any information received during a public hearing will be considered by the Division along with all other information received during the comment period when making its final decision to issue Title V permit amendment.
Following this 30-day public comment period, the EPD will consider all comments, make any necessary changes, and issue a proposed permit amendment to U.S. EPA. The proposed permit amendment will then undergo a 45 day review by U.S. EPA in accordance with 40 CFR 70.8. Information pertaining to U.S. EPA╒s review period can be found on their website at www.epa.gov/region4/air/permits.
After the EPA review period has expired, the EPD will issue a final Part 70 Operating Permit Amendment incorporating any changes required by U.S. EPA. Copies of the final Title V Operating Permit, comments received, EPD╒s responses to comments, and any other relevant information will then be made available for public review during normal business hours at the office of the Air Protection Branch. A summary of comments and any changes made to the final permit will be found in an addendum to the narrative. A copy of this narrative and the final title V permit will be added to the information already available at the Internet address given above.
