APAC Mississippi Inc and Facility No. 3020-00068 (AI: 73974) located at Johnson Quarter Road, in Lexington (Yazoo County), Mississippi, (601) 317-4000, is requesting an Optional Pre-Permit Construction approval from the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) as allowed by the Mississippi Air Permit Regulations 11 Miss. Admin. Code Pt. 2, R. 2.15.B.  The facility is publishing this public notice to provide the public with the opportunity to comment to the MDEQ regarding the proposed project.  

The proposed project consists of constructing a gravel crushing operation.  Gravel will be inserted into a tertiary crusher and reduced in size. The crushed gravel is transferred via conveyor systems, and passed through vibrating screens for sorting by size. This proposed project will result in potential emissions of particulate matter (PM) greater than 10 tons per year (tpy) but less than 100 tpy; therefore, requiring a permit to construct but not a permit to operate.   The increase of emissions will be below the Prevention of Significant Deterioration significance levels as specified in the Mississippi Regulations for the Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air Quality, 11 Miss. Admin. Code Pt. 2, Ch. 5, and more specifically in 40 CFR Part 52.21.   

Persons wishing to comment upon or object to the proposed request are invited to submit comments in writing to Chief, Air Division at the Permit Board's address shown above no later than 10-days from the date of publication of this notice.  All comments received or postmarked by this date will be considered in the determination regarding the pre-permit construction approval.
