Missouri Department Of Natural Resources Issues Air Permit To Renewable Power Of Cape Girardeau
By admin - Posted on August 15th, 2007
JEFFERSON CITY, MO, AUG. 13, 2007 -- The Missouri Department of Natural Resources has issued an air pollution permit to Renewable Power of Cape Girardeau. The proposed plant will use corn to produce the ethanol.
The permit enables construction of a new ethanol plant at the southwest corner of Nash Road and County Road 217 in Cape Girardeau County. Once completed, the plant is projected to produce 93 million gallons annually.
The department conducted a thorough review of the proposed ethanol plant. One part of the review analyzed the impact of the ethanol plant's air emissions on the area considering all the other air emission sources including the nearby cement kiln and other proposed ethanol plants. Based on this review, the proposed plant, operated as permitted, will comply with applicable air quality standards and regulations. The permit requires the use of a variety of control equipment such as baghouses, wet scrubbers, condensers and thermal oxidizers.
This permit brings the total number of permitted ethanol plants for the Cape Girardeau area to two; neither is operational yet. The department is also reviewing two other air permit applications for ethanol plants in the Cape Girardeau/Scott City area. The technical review of both of those projects is ongoing.
All air permits issued by the department are available for the public to review online. The final air permit is available on the department's Web site at www.dnr.mo.gov/env/apcp/air_permits.htm.
For more information concerning the permitting process or to obtain a written copy of the permit for review, please contact the department's Air Pollution Control Program at P.O. Box 176, Jefferson City, MO or call 1-800-361-4827 or (573) 751-4817.
The permit may be appealed, as page two of the permit details, by sending an appeal to the Administrative Hearing Commission, P.O. Box 1557, Jefferson City, MO 65101 as provided in RSMo 643.075.6 and 621.250.3. The appeal must be filed within 30 days of the permit issuance, which was July 30, 2007.
