MDEQ Contact: Jeffery Bland
Hood Industries, Inc., Waynesboro ("Hood"), located at 915 industrial 
Park Road, in Waynesboro, MS, (601) 735-5038, has applied to the 
Mississippi department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) for the following 
permitting action: Issuance of a Prevention of Significant Deterioration 
(PSD) Permit to Construct, Air Ref. No. 2840-00004. The applicant's 
operations fall within SIC Code 2421 (Sawmills and Planing Mills). A 
Preliminary Determination has been prepared that contains a discussion 
of the decision-making that went into the development of the permit and 
provides the permitting authority, the public, and other government 
bodies a record of the technical issues surrounding issuance for the 
permit. The Preliminary Determination also addresses the changes to 
emissions resulting from modification of the facility.
Hood currently operates a sawmill, three kilns, and a planer mill for 
producing dimensional lumber on an approximately 85-acre site. Hood is 
proposing to modernize the mill by replacing most of the existing mill 
equipment with more current technology, including replacing the sawmill, 
planer mill, and pneumatic conveyance system. Hood will also construct 
three new continuous direct-fired kilns and remove two older kilns. The 
three new kilns and one remaining kiln will burn only natural gas, 
rather than wood byproduct. The modernization project is considered a 
major modification for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) under the PSD 
regulations of 11 Miss. Admin. Code Pt. 2, Ch. 5 because the net 
emissions increase of VOCs exceeded the PSD significant emission rate of 
40 tons per year. No other pollutants exceeded their respective PSD 
significant emission rates. The PSD regulations require a Best Available 
Control Technology (BACT) analysis for VOCs emitted from the kilns. 
Additional, an Air Quality Analysis for VOCs, which are a precursor for 
ozone, is required to ensure they do not contribute to a significant 
impact to ozone concentration in the ambient air.
The staff of the Permit Board has developed this draft permit based on 
information submitted to the Permit Board by the applicant, appropriate 
State and Federal agencies and other interested parties. The staff of 
the Permit Board is soliciting all relative information pertaining to 
the proposed activity, including public comment, to ensure that the 
final staff recommendations on the draft permit complies with all State 
and Federal regulations. Public review and comment on the draft permit 
and supporting documentation is an important element in the staff 
evaluation and resulting recommendation of the Permit Board. The draft 
permit conditions have been developed to ensure compliance with all 
State and Federal regulations but are subject to change based on 
information received as a result of public participation.
Persons wishing to comment upon or object to the proposed determinations 
are invited to submit comments in writing to Jeffery Bland at 
https://www.mdeq.ms.gov/bland-jeffery or to the Permit address shown 
above, no later than the end of the of the thirty (30) day public 
notice. All comments received by this date will be considered in the 
formulation of final determinations regarding the application(s). A 
public hearing will be held if the Permit Board finds a significant 
degree of public interest in the proposed permit(s). Persons wishing to 
request a public hearing may do so by submitting that request in writing 
to Jeffrey Bland at https://www.mdeq.ms.gov/bland-jeffery or to the 
Permit Board address shown above. The Permit Board is limited in scope 
of its analysis to environment impact. Any comments relative to zoning 
or economic and social impacts are within the jurisdiction of local 
zoning and planning authorities and should be addressed to them.

permit, are available by writing or calling the Public Request Officer
