NOTICE OF EXTENSION OF PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD; ANNOUNCEMENT OF PROPOSED PERMIT MODIFICATION, REQUEST FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, AND PUBLIC HEARING ON

CLEAN AIR ACT PREVENTION OF SIGNIFICANT DETERIORATION PERMIT

PERMIT APPLICATION NO. SAC 84

- 0 2

Proposed Action: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9 provides notice of EPA Region 9’s proposed action to authorize modification of the federal Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permit at a facility operated by Collins Pine Company ( CPC) , located at 13 Collins Drive, Chester, CA 96020 . EPA Region 9 is proposing to
issue a revision of the current PSD permit for this facility that would grant conditional approval

to CPC , in accordance with the PSD regulations (40 CFR 52.21), to replace the existing wet electrostatic precipitator (ESP) control equipment with a new dry ESP and ancillary equipment at its existing lumber manufacturing facility in Chester , California. Like t he wet ESP, t he proposed dry ESP will continue to reduce particulate matter emitted by Boiler No. 4 but will reduce the facility’s water use. The proposed modifications also include additional specifications regarding the kinds of fuel that the facility i s allowed to use, including use of Ultra Low Sulfur diesel fuel during startup events

. The proposed changes may result in minor emissions increases, but will not trigger any additional federal regulatory requirements pursuant to 40 CFR 52.21. The requested modification will not alter Best Available Control Technology determinations or emission limits of the existing PSD permit. The mailing address for CPC is P.O. Box 796

, Chester , California 96020
