The DRAFT PERMIT is described as follows:

Temporary Covered Source Permit No. 0242-01-CT would grant conditional approval to operate stone processing equipment at various temporary locations throughout the state.

The applicant is proposing to increase the number of jobsites allowed to operate concurrently from 10 to 25, increase the amount of equipment allowed to operate at each jobsite, and increase the amount of equipment in their inventory.

The increase in the number of allowable jobsites increases the potential emissions from the equipment covered by this permit. Each non-mobile stone processing plant is limited to 1,600 hours of operation per site and each mobile stone processing plant is limited to 1,800 hours of operation per site.

The emissions for this permit are based on the number of operating sites and the amount of equipment allowed at each site. The amount of equipment in the inventory does not affect the emissions estimate for each site.

The maximum potential emissions from the new stone processing plant configurations are as follows:

780 TPH Non-Mobile Plant 1,100 TPH Mobile Plant
1,600 hrs 1,800 hrs
Pollutant (TPY) (TPY)
