The crematory facility incorporates a crematory incinerator used to cremate human remains. This incinerator is equipped with an integral secondary combustion chamber for air pollution control purposes. The air contaminant emissions from the crematory facility are not expected to exceed 3.02 tons of NOx, .21 ton of CO, .05 ton of VOCs and .94 ton of particulate matter (including particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 microns or less also known as PM10) per year.
The respective facility is not a major (Title V) facility for any air contaminant.
The Department proposes to incorporate into the operating permit to be issued all conditions contained in existing Operating Permit 08-301-107 issued on April 11, 2000. These conditions include a requirement that the secondary combustion chamber of the crematory incinerator be operated at a temperature of at least 1,800°F, a requirement that the secondary combustion chamber temperature be continuously monitored and recorded and a requirement that the incinerator not be used to incinerate anything other than human remains and associated containers.

The fugitive particulate matter emissions from this plant (including particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 microns or less, also known as PM10) are controlled by two fabric collectors and a water spray dust suppression system. The crushing, screening and conveying equipment is expected to emit up to 16.6 tons of particulate matter per year, of which up to 13.2 tons per year may be PM10. There will potentially be additional particulate matter/PM10 emissions from the vehicular traffic on the plant's haul roads, but this will be minimized via the use of a water truck and truck wash station.
