The facility has submitted an application to operate the existing biomass-to-energy equipment under a separate permit from Prestage Farms, an animal feed mill. All comments received by 5.p.m. on May 21, 2021, will be considered in the final determinations regarding the Air Quality Permit.The facility has added control equipment that has decreased
potential particulate matter emissions. Changes to boiler operation
limits will increase the potential to emit of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon
monoxide (CO) and require a Title V air permit.
