Padnos requests air permit for new Howell location
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy has opened a public comment period on a proposed air permit until November 23 on a proposed air permit for Louis Padnos Iron & Metal (Padnos) in Howell.
Padnos is proposing to install and operate a new metal processing facility at 645 Lucy Road. The new metal processing facility, if approved, would include a scrap metal shredder and systems to separate waste material from the product (recycled metals). Material not able to be recycled would be sent to a landfill. The proposed equipment would have air emissions at levels requiring an air permit.
The public is encouraged to review information about the proposed project. Comments may be submitted on the proposed permit action at any time before the end of the comment period.
