Permitting and Engineering Division

Notice is given to the public, according to Chapter 10 of Title 129 - Nebraska Air Quality Regulations, that the Department is proposing to issue a Class II operating permit to City of Neligh (Facility # 61713) for the operation of a power generating facility (Standard Industrial Classification code 4911) located at E ¼ NE ¼ Section 20 Township 25N Range 6W, 150 feet southwest of Hwy 275 and East 2nd St., Neligh, Antelope County, Nebraska. The potential emissions of regulated air pollutants (in tons per year (tpy)) at this facility will be: 1.90  tpy of Particulate Matter (PM), 1.75 tpy of PM ≤ 10 microns (PM10), 1.70 tpy PM ≤ 2.5 microns (PM2.5), 0.25 tpy Sulfur Dioxide, 98.00 tpy Oxides of Nitrogen, 26.03 tpy Carbon Monoxide, 6.13 tpy Volatile Organic Compounds, 0.076 tpy of Methanol, 0.240 tpy total HAPs, and 52.62 tpy Greenhouse Gases CO2 equivalents (CO2e).
 

Antelope County meets the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for those pollutants subject to a NAAQS and is expected to continue in that status.
