Notice of Action on a Title V Construction Permit

The Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District (District) proposes to issue a construction permit to Bakelite Synthetics (formaldehyde and phenolic resin production), 6200 Camp Ground Road, in accordance with Regulation 2.03. This permit is being issued to construct one single bagger in an enclosure connected to a baghouse control device. The 30-day public comment period starts on April 7, 2022, and ends on May 9, 2022. A public hearing may be scheduled if the District determines that there are germane, unresolved issues or substantial public interest, in accordance with Regulation 2.07.

Drafts of the permit and summary are available at the District office, 701 West Ormsby Avenue, Suite 303, Louisville, KY 40203, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, by calling Matt King at (502) 574-6000, emailing  our permitting department, or on the APCD website.

  1. What is the purpose of this permit? Construction Permit C-0028-22-0004-V will allow the construction of one product bagger. Particulate emissions from the new bagging system will be controlled by an existing baghouse filtration system.
  2. Will this permit increase pollution? The new equipment will have a potential to emit of 7.69 tons of particulate matter per year. However, the application states that this bagger will replace three existing product baggers.
  3. Does this facility have a history of non-compliance? The last notice of violation was in October 2019, resolved  with Agreed Board Order 19-02.  This violation was for failing to operate equipment as described in the Title V operating permit. See the Compliance History table in the Statement of Basis, page 7.
  4. Where can I find out more? Additional information, including equipment descriptions, potential emissions, and applicable rules, are summarized in the Statement of Basis. The Draft Permit details the application of these rules to the equipment and includes the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting that the District believes is necessary to demonstrate compliance.
