Notice is hereby given that the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) is soliciting comments regarding a proposed air quality operating permit. CST Industries has applied for a Class I operating permit renewal in accordance with the provisions of K.A.R. 28-19-510 et al. The purpose of a Class I permit is to identify the sources and types of regulated air pollutants emitted from the facility; the emission limitations, standards and requirements applicable to each source; and the monitoring, record keeping and reporting requirements applicable to each source as of the effective date of permit issuance.
CST Industries, 2101 S. 21st St., Parsons, KS 67359, owns and operates a fabricated structural metal manufacturing facility located at 2101 S. 21st St., Parsons, Labette County, KS 67359.
A copy of the proposed permit, permit application, all supporting documentation, and all information relied upon during the permit application review process are available for public review during normal business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the KDHE, Bureau of Air (BOA), 1000 SW Jackson, Suite 310, Topeka, KS 66612-1366 and at the Southeast District Office, 308 W. 14th St., Chanute, KS 66720. To obtain or review the proposed permit and supporting documentation, contact Angela Bryson at the central office of KDHE at 785-296-3589 or Ryan Jack at the Southeast District Office at 620-860-2390. The standard departmental cost will be assessed for any copies requested.

Please direct written comments or questions regarding the proposed permit to Angela Bryson, KDHE, BOA, 1000 SW Jackson, Suite 310, Topeka, KS 66612-1366. In order to be considered in formulating a final permit decision, written comments must be received no later than 12:00 p.m. Monday, January 20, 2025.
A person may request a public hearing be held on the proposed permit. The request for a public hearing shall be in writing and set forth the basis for the request. The written request must be submitted to Angela Bryson, KDHE BOA, 1000 SW Jackson, Suite 310, Topeka, KS 66612-1366, no later than 12:00 p.m. Monday, January 20, 2025, in order for the Secretary of Health and Environment to consider the request.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has a 45-day review period, which will start concurrently with the public comment period, within which to object to the proposed permit. If the EPA has not objected in writing to the issuance of the permit within the 45-day review period, any person may petition the administrator of the EPA to review the permit. The 60-day public petition period will directly follow the EPA’s 45-day review period. Interested parties may contact KDHE to determine if the EPA’s 45-day review period has been waived.
Any such petition shall be based only on objections to the permit that were raised with reasonable specificity during the public comment period provided for in this notice, unless the petitioner demonstrates that it was impracticable to raise such objections within such period, or unless the grounds for such objection arose after such period. Contact Ward Burns, U.S. EPA, Region 7, Air Permitting and Compliance Branch, 11201 Renner Blvd., Lenexa, KS 66219, 913-551-7960, to determine when the 45-day EPA review period ends and the 60-day petition period commences.
