Notice is given to the public, according to Chapter 10 of Nebraska Administrative Code Title 129 - Nebraska Air Quality Regulations, that the Department is proposing to issue a construction permit to Husker Ag, LLC (FID 73356) an existing ethanol fuel manufacturing facility (Standard Industrial Classification Code 2869- Industrial Organic Chemicals) located at 54048 Highway 20, Plainview, Pierce County, for the installation of a combustion turbine generator. The anticipated change in emissions of regulated air contaminants in tons per year (tpy) due to the proposed installation of the combustion turbine generator will be: 5.96 tpy of Particulate Matter (PM); 5.96 tpy of PM ≤ 10 microns (PM10) and 5.96 tpy PM ≤ 2.5 microns (PM2.5); 2.02 tpy Oxides of Sulfur; 52.17 tpy Oxides of Nitrogen; 37.75 tpy Carbon Monoxide; 21.09 tpy Volatile Organic Compounds; and 0.06 tpy total Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP).

 

Pierce County meets the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for those pollutants subject to a NAAQS and is expected to continue in that status. No impact is anticipated on habitat for any rare or threatened species.
