Simpson Air Permit Renewal
By Dedrick Allan
This is the second time the company is renewing its permit which will be in effect for five years. According to ORCAA's Dan Nelson, this renewal has nothing to do with the Solomon biomass facility proposed to be built by the Simpson.
The draft AOP contains enforceable conditions designed to ensure compliance with applicable air pollutant emission limitations and control requirements. Simpson’s Shelton lumber mill requires an AOP because it has the potential to emit more than 100 tons per year of several regulated air pollutants including carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter.
Copies of the draft AOP Renewal and the associated Technical Support Document (TSD) for Simpson are available for review at the Shelton branch of the Timberland Public Library, at ORCAA’s office in Olympia, or online at www.orcaa.org.
Comments on the renewal will be accepted until August 15th. Although this type of renewal usually doesn't warrant a public hearing, Nelson told MCDN.com that should there be enough public input, a hearing may be held.
