NOTICE OF 14-DAY PERIOD FOR PUBLIC COMMENT Proposed Approval of Interim Minor Source Modification to the Title V Operating Permit for Louis Dreyfus Agricultural Industries LLC in Kosciusko County Notice is hereby given that the above company located at 7344 State Road 15 South, Claypool, Indiana, has made application to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM), Office of Air Quality (OAQ) for an interim permit to construct a new Vertical Seed Conditioner (VSC) Air Heater No. 2 and a VSC Cyclone No. 2 at the plant. The new VSC Air Heater No. 2 will have a maximum capacity of 132 tons per hour, and the existing VSC Air Heater No. 1 capacity will be reduced to 132 tons per hour. The allowable particulate matter (PM, PM10, and PM2.5) limits for the two VSC units are already incorporated in to the permit and expressed as a combined limit with the Jet Dryers of 4.93 lbs/hour of PM, 3.35 lbs/hour of PM10 and PM2.5 each which is equal to 21.59 tons per year for PM and 14.67 tons per year from PM10 and PM2.5 each. Because there is no change to the processing capacity for the VSC units, there will be no changes to the existing emission limits. The company has submitted an application for a minor source modification/significant permit modification. The OAQ shall review the application in accordance with Indiana Permit Review Rules. Operation of the source cannot commence until a valid operating permit is issued. The construction of the proposed project is entirely at the applicant’s own risk. Notice is hereby given that there will be a period of 14 days from the date of publication of this notice during which any interested person may comment on why this interim permit should or should not be issued. Appropriate comments should be related to air quality issues, interpretation of the applicable state and federal rules, calculations made, technical issues, or the effect that the operation of this facility would have on any aggrieved individuals. A copy of the application and staff review is available for examination at the Warsaw Community Public Library, 315 East Center Street, Warsaw, Indiana. All comments, along with supporting documentation, should be submitted in writing to the IDEM, OAQ, 100 North Senate Avenue, MC 61-53, Room 1003, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204-2251. Persons not wishing to comment at this time, but wishing to receive notice of future proceedings conducted related to this action, must submit a written request to the Office of Air Quality (OAQ), at the above address.
