PUBLIC NOTICE


Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy
Air Quality Division

Notice is given to the public, according to Chapter 14 of Nebraska Administrative Code Title 129 - Nebraska Air Quality Regulations, that the Department is proposing to issue a historical construction permit to Eaton Corporation (FID 02374) for their manufacturing operations (Standard Industrial Classification code 3499) located at 4200 Highway 30 East, Kearney, Buffalo, Nebraska. The anticipated emissions of regulated air contaminants in tons per year (tpy) at this facility will be: 76.92 tpy of Particulate Matter (PM); 74.94 tpy of PM ≤ 10 microns (PM10); 69.22 tpy PM ≤ 2.5 microns (PM2.5); 19.54 tpy Sulfur Dioxide; 90.33 tpy Oxides of Nitrogen; 87.51 tpy Carbon Monoxide; 98.04 tpy Volatile Organic Compounds; 4.91 tpy of Chromium; and 9.80 tpy total Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP).

Buffalo County meets the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for those pollutants subject to a NAAQS and is expected to continue in that status. No impact is anticipated on habitat for any rare or threatened species.

The Department proposes to issue a construction permit with specific conditions, based on Title 129, which establishes limits for particulate matter and HAPs at several operations in the facility, requires the operation and maintenance of pollution control devices such as dust collectors and scrubbers, and outlines certain Federal regulations to which the facility’s operations are subject.

The proposed permit and supporting materials are available Tuesday, March 3, 2020 through Thursday, April 2, 2020 at the NDEE, Suite 400, 1200 "N" Street, Lincoln, Nebraska, and electronically at http://dee.ne.gov. Comments received by the Department during this period will be considered prior to the final decision. During this period the applicant, or any interested person or group of persons, may request or petition the Director for a public hearing. The request must be in writing and state the nature of the issues to be raised and all arguments and factual grounds supporting their position. If a public hearing is granted by the Director, the hearing will be advertised by public notice at least 30 days prior to the hearing.
