7-1 Air
7-1 Property Line and Fence Line Location
The facility’s property line and/or fence location(s) appear to be inconsistent between not only different document submissions, but also within individual documents themselves. Compliance with certain air quality regulations and standards is dependent upon estimated ambient air concentrations at points along both the property line and the fence line. A change in the location of either line used in the final model approved by RIDEM in support of issuing the air construction permit may require performance of a revised air dispersion modeling compliance demonstration.
Please provide a legal description of the property line and fence line used in the model results submitted to and approved by RIDEM as demonstrating compliance with applicable standards and the basis for issuing the proposed facility’s air quality construction permit. This will allow for a clear comparison by Town officials of the approved property line and/or fence line with the legal description included with the deed that will be recorded in the Town’s Land Evidence Records.
RESPONSE 7-1:
| The facility’s proposed property line has changed since the air modeling report was submitted to RIDEM as the project design and layout have been optimized to minimize impacts. The attached Site Arrangement figure shows the revised proposed facility property line which has been submitted to, and is currently under review by, the Town of Burrillville Planning Board.
The property line changes will not impact the results of the air modeling results submitted to RIDEM because the modeled impact values presented in the modeling summary tables, which are the values used for the compliance demonstrations, were at receptors located beyond both the original and the revised facility property lines.
