Alloy has applied for a conditional use permit to enlarge the facility with a 9,000 square foot addition to the principal building on the site. Notification: State Statute requires notification to all property owners within 350 feet of the subject property. Staff attempted to notify all property owners north to the AEC facility, west to Ramsey Blvd., south to Hwy. #10 and east to the Bury and Carlson site of the public hearing conducted by the Planning Commission on March 4. Observations:. The existing facili. 'ty consists of a 2,100 square foot operations building and a 1,920 square foot structure in whi0h the melt furnace is housed. The applicant is proposing to increase the size of the principal buildir~g to 11,100 square feet in order to get more of the operations into an enclosed building.

Items//3 (Dust/Ash/Particulates) and Item//5 (Smoke): Staff had a telephone conversation with Rhonda Jol!anson in the Enfomement Unit of the PCA. It seems that there was not an Ak Quality Permit in effect for the subject site and Alloy Recovery has made application for same. Rhonda indicated that she inspectec[ the site on September 19, 1995 and the facility appeared to be in compliance. MPCA review staff was given a deadline of April 4, 1996 to respond to the application. Ms. ~Johanson has indicated that if she receives no responses from the review staff by April 4, she inte_~ds to issue an air quality permit to Alloy Recovery. Alloy Recovery will be issued what is ca~4ed an Option D Regulatory Pemait because their emissions are very low. As long as Alloy opa~rates under the emission caps established in the Option D permit, they can make changes to their i'acility without filing for. a new permit. Also because of their Iow emissions levels, they are 'not subject to annual inspections unless PCA receives complaints about the operation.
