Harris, P.E. CONTROL ENGINEER: R. K. Hancock III, P.E. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Biochar Now LLC, is proposing to build and operate a facility to convert wood to biochar, located at 29750 Weld County Road 7,Weld County, Berthoud, Colorado. ESTIMATED EMISSIONS The resulting estimated controlled emissions from permit 15WE1395 are listed below: Controlled emissions in tons per year PM PM10 PM2.5 VOC NOx CO methanol 7.67 3.94 2.0 10.6 38.45 33.81 7.15 SOURCE CLASSIFICATION This source is considered a synthetic minor source according to the Air Quality Control Commission regulations. Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and could exceed 100 tons per year if Biochar Now LLC, management did not accept federally enforceable limits on production throughput and installation and operation of air pollution control equipment. The company has made an application for issuance of a federally enforceable synthetic minor source permit limiting the potential to emit to below the major source thresholds. Therefore, this source is considered a synthetic minor source and not subject to NANSR, MACT or Operating permit requirements. The Division has determined that the proposed source will comply with all applicable regulations and standards of the Colorado Air Quality control Commission and has made a preliminary determination of approval of the application.
