- What is the purpose of this permit? This construction project is to construct and operate an upgraded Leachate Pre-treatment Facility (PTF) consisting of new and modified affected facilities, insignificant activities (IA) and trivial activities.
- Will this permit increase pollution? Construction Permit C-0532-22-0040-V authorizes equipment with potential emissions of Particulate Matter less than 10 microns (PM10) of 0.16 tons per year, Carbon Monoxide of 2.83 tons per year, Nitrogen Oxide of 5.07 tons per year, Volatile Organic Compounds of 3.62 tons per year, and Hazardous Air Pollutants of 0.21 tons per year. The modified leachate treatment will have lower potential HAP emissions than the current system. The emergency generators are new and their emissions will be an increase.

- Where can I find out more? Additional information, including equipment descriptions, potential emissions, and applicable rules, are summarized in the Statement of Basis.
