NOTICE OF 30-DAY PERIOD FOR PUBLIC COMMENT Preliminary Findings Regarding a Significant Modification to a Part 70 Operating Permit for Dalton Corporation - Warsaw Manufacturing Facility in Kosciusko County Significant Source Modification No.: 0852940200003 Significant Permit Modification No.: 0852940300003 The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) has received an application from Dalton Corporation - Warsaw Manufacturing Facility located at 1900 E. Jefferson Street, Warsaw, Indiana 46580 for a significant modification of their Part 70 Operating Permit issued on May 9, 2007. If approved by IDEM's Office of Air Quality (OAQ), this proposed modification would allow Dalton Corporation - Warsaw Manufacturing Facility to make certain changes at their existing source. Dalton Corporation - Warsaw Manufacturing Facility has applied to permit construction and operation of one (1) vibratory shaker, one (1) hose blast operation, one (1) return sand conveyor, two (2) robotic grinders, one (1) waste handling system, and two (2) phenolic core machines. The applicant intends to construct and operate new equipment that will emit air pollutants; therefore the permit contains new or different permit conditions. In addition, some conditions from previously issued permits/approvals have been corrected, changed or removed. IDEM has reviewed this application, and has developed preliminary findings, consisting of a draft permit and several supporting documents, that would allow the applicant to make this change. IDEM is aware that the one (1) return sand conveyor, two (2) robotic grinders, one (1) waste handling system, and two (2) phenolic core machines have been constructed and operated prior to receipt of the proper permit. IDEM is reviewing this matter and will take appropriate action. This draft modification contains provisions to bring unpermitted equipment into compliance with construction and operation permit rules. A copy of the permit application and IDEM's preliminary findings are available at: Warsaw Community Public Library 310 East Main Street Warsaw, IN 46580 and IDEM Northern Regional Office 300 N. Michigan Street, Suite 450 South Bend, IN 46601-1295 A copy of the preliminary findings is available on the Internet at: http://www.in.gov/ai/appfiles/idem-caats/ .
