A Notice of Intent for the following project submitted in accordance with R307-401-1, Utah Administrative Code (UAC), has been received for consideration by the Director:
Company Name: Swanson Industries, Inc.
Location: Swanson Industries, Inc.- Mining Equipment Restoration – 610 Industrial Road, Helper, UT
Project Description: Swanson Industries, Inc. (Swanson) operates a mining equipment repair and maintenance facility located in Helper, Carbon County. The repair and maintenance operations include abrasive blasting and grinding, painting and coating, fuel combustion, welding, and cutting, including a laser cladding process. Swanson has requested to revise the pressure drop range from between 3 and 8 inches of water column to between 0.5 and 6 inches of water column. The change in pressure drop range will not affect emissions from the baghouse. The company has also requested to add six (6) solvent parts washers and an ultrasonic cleaner. VOC and HAP emission increases from the parts washers and the ultrasonic cleaner are estimated and included in the site-wide emissions.
The completed engineering evaluation and air quality impact analysis showed the proposed project meets the requirements of federal air quality regulations and the State air quality rules. The Director intends to issue an Approval Order pending a 30-day public comment period. The project proposal, estimate of the effect on local air quality and draft Approval Order are available for public inspection and comment at the Utah Division of Air Quality, 195 North 1950 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116. Written comments received by the Division at this same address on or before January 10, 2025, will be considered in making the final decision on the approval/disapproval of the proposed project. Email comments will also be accepted at ehe@utah.gov. If anyone so requests to the Director in writing within 15 days of publication of this notice, a hearing will be held in accordance with R307-401-7, UAC.
Under Section 19-1-301.5, a person who wishes to challenge a Permit Order may only raise an issue or argument during an adjudicatory proceeding that was raised during the public comment period and was supported with sufficient information or documentation to enable the Director to fully consider the substance and significance of the issue.
