Source Description: Animal Feed Process Using Food Waste
Kalmbach Feed Ingredients, Inc. has requested an Air Management Services (AMS) Permit to construct and operate an animal feed process.

While no agreements were reached at the hearing, there appeared to be a better understanding of the issues and concerns of all the participants. AMS finds that there is no basis to withhold granting plan approval and this will serve as notice of that action as required in the 25 Pa. Code § 127.51(c).
Copies of all documents and information concerning this plan approval are available for review in the offices of AMS, Room 218, 321 University Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19104-4543, during normal business hours.
