SIMPSON DOOR SEEKS AOP RENEWAL

Excerpt from:
Public Invited to Comment on Draft Air Permit
for Simpson Door, McCleary
Mason County Progressive
Public comment is currently being accepted on a draft Air Operating Permit (AOP) renewal for for Simpson Door Company located in McCleary, Washington, pursuant to Title V of the federal Clean Air Act and Chapter 173-401 of the Washington Administrative Code. This is a draft of the AOP renewal that will be in effect for five years.

Simpson Door’s manufacturing facility in McCleary requires an AOP because it has the potential to emit over 100 tons per year of particulate air pollution. This will be the 2nd renewal of the AOP for Simpson Door.

Copies of the draft AOP Renewal and the associated Technical Support Document (TSD) for Simpson are on file and available for review at the McCleary Library at 121 South 4th Street in McCleary, and at ORCAA’s office in Olympia. The draft AOP and TSD are also available online at www.orcaa.org.

Comments may be submitted to ORCAA in writing. Written comments should be addressed to: ORCAA, 2940-B Limited Lane NW, Olympia, WA 98502, and will be accepted up to close of business on Monday, Nov. 10, 2011. Comments should pertain to adequacy of the draft AOP in assuring compliance with applicable air quality regulations and standards.

Any concerned party may request a public hearing within the specified public comment period. The request should include information to justify the need for a public hearing. If there is significant public interest, ORCAA will hold a public hearing.

  1. Oh goodie, hundreds of tons more of air pollution over a small rural community whose economy is so depressed the citizens feel like they have no choice but to trade their health for a few modest paying jobs... can you say "social injustice?"

    I don't see these incinerators being placed in upscale neighborhoods (can you say Hiawatha?)
