On May 22, 2007, Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama, LLC (Facility No. 209-0090) submitted a complete Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Permit application for increase in previously established BACT limits. This facility is located at 700 Hyundai Boulevard, Montgomery, Montgomery County, Alabama.

 

The proposed modification is subject to the requirements of the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) regulations as set forth in ADEM Admin. Code r. 335-3-14-.04.  An ADEM-Air Division technical staff preliminary determination indicates:

 

1.      Best Available Control Technology (BACT) is represented for control of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC).  In determining BACT, the Department considered the impact of the control technology on air pollutants that may be emitted by the source including those not regulated by the Clean Air Act.  A discussion of how BACT was determined is included in the Department’s preliminary determination.

 

2.      The maximum combined pollutant concentration from Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama, LLC would be less than the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).  The NAAQS are levels set by the Environmental Protection Agency which identify the ambient concentration necessary to protect human health and welfare with an adequate margin of safety.

 

3.      The largest maximum ambient concentration of non-criteria air pollutants was determined to be 96.46% of the ADEM's guideline of 1/40 of the threshold limit value for those compounds as adopted by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists.

 

ADEM has determined that the limitations proposed by the company would properly limit emissions.

 

Copies of the preliminary determination are available for public inspection electronically via http://adem.alabama.gov/PublicNotice/PublicNotice.htm.  Copies of the complete project file are available for public inspection at the ADEM Main Office located at 1400 Coliseum Blvd, Montgomery, Alabama, Monday through Friday (except legal holidays), 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and at the following address:
