EPA - PUBLIC COMMENT OPPORTUNITY
Regarding WSFPI mill permits
The EPA plans two air quality
permit actions for sawmill in
Warm Springs, Oregon
Public comment period ends Sep-
tember 25, 2014
On September 24, 2007, the
United States Environmental Protec-
tion Agency (EPA) issued a Clean
Air Act (CAA) non-Title V operating
permit to Warm Springs Forest
Products Industries (WSFPI) for its
sawmill located in Warm Springs, Or-
egon. The owner-requested permit
established synthetic minor limits on
hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emis-
sions, thereby making it unneces-
sary for WSFPI to comply with ma-
jor source National Emission Stan-
dards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
requirements. The EPA is propos-
ing to revise the permit primarily to
strengthen the enforceability of the
HAP emission limits.
The EPA is also proposing to is-
sue WSFPI a new CAA Title V oper-
ating permit for the sawmill. The
facility’s Title V operating permit is
being renewed for five years in ac-
cordance with 40 CFR Part 71. Be-
cause the facility is located within
the exterior boundaries of the Warm
Springs Reservation and because
the Warm Springs Tribe does not
have an EPA-approved permitting
program, it is the EPA’s responsibil-
ity to issue the air quality permit.
The WSFPI’s Jefferson County,
Oregon sawmill produces kiln-dried
dimensional lumber from logs. Wood
residue from on-site sawmill opera-
tions and forest slash is combusted
in a biomass boiler to produce su-
perheated steam. The steam is em-
ployed primarily to either dry lum-
ber in single batch kilns or gener-
ate electricity for on-site consump-
tion via steam turbines. At maximum
operation, the facility has the poten-
tial to emit more than 100 tons per
year of non-fugitive emissions for
each of the following Title V pollut-
ants: carbon monoxide, nitrogen ox-
ides, inhalable coarse particulate,
fine particulate and volatile o rganic
compounds. Thus, the facility is a
major source of air pollution subject
to the Title V permitting program.
This permitting action allows WSFPI
to continue operating the facility for
another five years. The Title V per-
mit is being revised from the one is-
sued in October 2008 to incorpo-
rate new requirements that apply to
the facility, including those being
concurrently proposed for the non-
Title V permit.
How can I get more informa-
tion? You can get copies of the draft
permits and the entire administra-
tive record from the EPA’s web site
at http://yosemite.epa.gov/R10/
