Opportunity for Public Comment: Major Source Draft Construction Permit
Purpose of notice: To seek public comment and announce a public hearing on a draft construction permit from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) for a major air pollution source in Westmoreland County, Virginia.
Public comment period: January 26, 2022, to March 15, 2022.
Public hearing: Public meeting room, George D. English, Sr. Memorial Building, 111 Polk Street, Montross, VA 22520, on February 28, 2022, at 6 p.m.
Information briefing: Same date and location as the public hearing, 30 minutes prior to public hearing from 5:30 p.m.
Permit name: Major Source Construction Permit issued by DEQ, under the authority of the State Air Pollution Control Board.
Applicant name and registration number: Potomac Supply LLC, Registration Number 40371.
Facility name and address: Potomac Supply LLC, 1398 Kinsale Road, Kinsale, Virginia.
Project description: Potomac Supply LLC has applied for a permit to construct a project at their lumber processing facility in Kinsale, Virginia. The proposed project would allow them to construct and operate a new drying kiln. The facility is classified as a major source of air pollution. The maximum annual emissions of air pollutants from the new kiln are expected to be: 258 tons of volatile organic compounds (VOC), 86 tons of carbon monoxide (CO), nine tons of nitrogen oxide (NOx), eight tons of airborne particulate matter (PM) PM10, and eight tons of PM2.5. The applicant proposes to use bark and sawdust for fuel in the new kiln. The technology that will be used to control the air pollution from the new project is an electrostatic precipitator to control PM, overfire air to control NOx, and proper operation of the drying kiln to control VOC. The estimated effect on air quality near the facility from the proposed project was examined using the Environmental Protection Agency ozone modeling (for NOx and VOC) and the predicted ozone concentration in the vicinity of the facility was found to comply with the eight-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
