ADEM holds hearing on proposed PSD air permits for ArcelorMittal Calvert NOES mill

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management held a public hearing on the department's preliminary decision to issue nine air permits under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) new-source review for a proposed non‑oriented electrical steel (NOES) mill at ArcelorMittal Calvert LLC in Calvert, Alabama.

At the hearing, Jackson Rogers, a permit writer with the air division of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management, said the department "has proposed the issuance of 9 air permits each developed in accordance with applicable state and federal requirements" and that its preliminary determination is that compliance with the proposed permit conditions "will not result in violations of applicable air quality standards designed to protect human health and the environment." Rogers described the proposed facility's equipment, control devices and applicable federal standards, including New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs), and PSD review requirements.
