NOTICE OF APPLICATION TO CONSTRUCT A NEW AIR POLLUTION SOURCE

The State of Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) has received an application to construct a new air pollution source. SGL Automotive Carbon Fibers, LLC (SGL) submitted a Notice of Construction (NOC) air quality permit application on March 4, 2014 to build four additional carbon fiber production lines, i.e., Lines 5 through 8. The SGL facility is located at 8781 Randolph Road NE, Moses Lake, within Section 22, Township 20 North, Range 28 East W.M., in Grant County. Air contaminant emissions from Lines 5 through 8 include criteria pollutants below major source thresholds and toxic pollutants above major source thresholds. After review of the completed Notice of Construction application and other information on file, Ecology has made a preliminary determination that this proposal will conform to all requirements as specified in Chapter 173-400 WAC and Chapter 173-460 WAC for the project identified as lines 5-8. Ecology is currently performing a federal Clean Air Act Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) applicability determination for the facility. Copies of the preliminary determination, the Notice of Construction application, and other pertinent information are available for public review at the Department of Ecology, Eastern Regional Office, 4601 N. Monroe, Spokane, WA 99205-1295, and at the City of Moses Lake, Department of Community Development, 321 South Balsam, Moses Lake. The public may request additional information from, and is invited to comment on the project proposal by submitting written comments postmarked within 30 days of this notice to, Gregory Flibbert at the above Ecology Spokane address, at gregory.flibbert@ecy.wa.gov, or at (509) 329-3452.
