-
What is the purpose of this permit? Construction Permit C-0532-24-0022-V would permit the source to install an additional flare to process off-specification gas at the Waste Management Renewable Energy High BTU Gas Plant.
-
Will this permit increase pollution? Because new Flare #5 will process the gas that was processed by Flare #3, the only increase in emissions will result from the combustion of natural gas for the Flare #5 pilot light. The highest pollutant of concern will be nitrogen oxides, at 0.022 tons per year.
-
Does this facility have a history of non-compliance? The last notice of violation was in 2014 and was resolved with an agreed board order. See the Compliance History table in the Statement of Basis, page 6.
-
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.
