The DRAFT PERMITS are described as follows:

(1) Covered Source Permit No. 0654-01-C would grant conditional approval
to operate one 95-pound petroleum solvent washer/dryer at the Al
Phillips Dry Cleaners facility.

The applicant is proposing to install and operate a 95-pound petroleum
solvent washer/dryer. The dry-to-dry machine is computer controlled to
ensure proper operation and quality control. The machine will use a
petroleum solvent as the cleaning fluid and the potential emissions are
estimated at 680 pounds of volatile organic compounds per year.

The petroleum solvent washer/dryer is subject to the federal Standards of
Performance for New Stationary Sources, Title 40 CFR, Part 60, Standards
of Performance for New Stationary Sources, Subpart JJJ – Standards of
Performance for Petroleum Dry Cleaners.

(2) Covered Source Permit No. 0442-02-C would grant conditional approval
for the continued operation of two (2) boilers and the proposed
modification to add a smaller 250 HP boiler. There will be no change in
potential emissions since the total fuel consumption limit will remain
unchanged and only two (2) boilers may operate simultaneously.
