9 The need for an air quality permit will be determined after the design specifications for the facility are corn-)leted. The air emission facility permits would inc_ude requireme-ts from (a) Minnesota Rules Part 7005.0450-7005.0520, Standards of Performance for Industrial Process Equipment, which includes particulate matter emission and opacity limits, (b) Minnesota Rules Part 7005.0900-7005.0960 for control of odors in the ambient air, and (c) Minnesota Rules Part 7010, the Agency's noise pollution control regulations. Minnesota Rulep Part 7005.0300-7005.0400 apply if a boiler is to be installed. [1, 2] IV. THE EXTENT TO WHICH ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS CAN BE ANTICIPATED AND CONTROLLED AS A RESULT OF OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES UNDERTAKEN BY PUBLIC AGENCIES ON THE PROJECT PROPOSED OR OF EIS'S PREVIOUSLY PREPARED ON SIMILAR PROJECTS A similar, much smaller scale facility, the Sperry Univac precious metals recovery system at Mendota Heights, has been permitted by the Division of Air Quality to control hydrogen cyanide emissions. Many businesses producing inorganic non- hazardous wastes containing metals have obtained NPDES permits from the Agency. In addition, many companies have been permitted as hazardous waste treatment and storage facilities by the Agency. Presently, one company has been permitted for hazardous waste processing. Wastewater treatment processes to be used by the proposed facility are the same or are comparable to processes that form the basis for the federal categorical pretreatment regulations. Most important, essentially the same project proposed by MRC, was considered at the September 27, 1983 MPCA Board meeting and the Board issued a negative declaration (no EIS) for the project. The new proposal differs from the original proposal because of one project change. The new project will involve the storage and disposal of liquid organic wastes and organic sludges. In addition, it will be located in Roseville instead of northeast Minneapolis. [1, 9] V. SUMMARY OF ISSUES AND ALTERNATIVES A. Air Quality and Noise The amount of air emissions are expected to be negligible from the facility since water -based, not organic solvent - based processing will occur at the facility. Air quality surveillance/monitoring systems of the storage and prcessing equipment may be required through RCRA or the state permit.
