NOTICE OF PROPOSED MODIFICATION OF THE OPERATING PERMIT UNDER THE ALABAMA HAZARDOUS WASTES MANAGEMENT AND MINIMIZATION ACT (AHWMMA) AND REQUEST FOR COMMENTS

PUBLIC NOTICE – 421

Etowah County

Giant Resource Recovery – Attalla, Inc. (GRR) of Attalla, Alabama submitted to ADEM an application for modification of its operating permit for the storage containers and storage and treatment tanks which are used to manage hazardous waste at its facility (EPA I.D. Number ALD 070 513 767) located at 1229 Valley Drive, Attalla, Alabama.  The Department has determined the facility’s modification application to be complete and has prepared a draft permit in accordance with State regulations.

GRR is the owner and operator of a hazardous waste fuel blender and recycler facility. The facility receives hazardous waste from offsite generators in drums and bulk storage containers. Certain wastes are blended into a fuel which is then transferred to off-site facilities, such as lime and cement kilns, to be burned as supplemental fuels. Other wastes are repackaged and transferred to other facilities for further treatment, storage, or disposal. The purpose of this modification is to include the addition of Kruncher Warehouse #1, the incorporation of Internal Transfer Trailer protocols for moving containers between Kruncher Warehouse #1 and #2, an updated Construction Compliance Schedule, a change to the RCRA permitted boundary, and the inclusion of the Container Storage Processing Expansion, Storage P-1, and Kruncher Tank 10 as being constructed. 

Copies of the fact sheet, permit modification application and draft AHWMMA permit are avail-able for public inspection electronically via http://adem.alabama.gov/newsEvents/publicNotices.cnt and at the following location Monday – Friday (except legal holidays) during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.  A nominal fee for copying and/or mailing may be charged.  Arrangements for copying should be made in advance.
