The DNR is reviewing an application for an Air Pollution Control Permit for a company in Newton, and they would like your input.
According to a notice sent to WCUB Radio, B & B Metals Processing Co, located at 14520 Pioneer Road in Newton, submitted the application and plans for the revision of their scrap metal processing facility and a request to authorize an increase in the natural gas usage limit for two of their engines.
In the letter, the DNR states that they have “prepared an analysis and made a preliminary determination that the application meets state and federal air pollution control requirements and that the permit may be approved.”
However, before it is approved, the public is being given time to voice their input.
If you have any comments or questions on the topic, you are encouraged to email Beth.Perk@Wisconsin.gov, or send a letter to the Department of Natural Resources, Bureau of Air Management, 101 South Webster Street, Box 7921, Madison Wisconsin 53707-7921, Attn: Beth Perk.
