Public Notice Pursuant to A.C.A. §8-4-203, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, the Office of Air Quality of the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality gives the following notice: Tyson Poultry Inc. - Nashville Further Processing Plant (31 00123) operates a facility located at 100 East Cassady Street, Nashville, AR 71852. This facility has submitted an application to for the following modifications: 1. Two new small process heaters, rated 7.043 and 8.217 MMBtu/hr, are being installed at the facility. After review of existing space heaters and air makeup units, all small process heaters are being permitted as SN-16. 2. In addition to permitting SN-16, the facility has reviewed all natural gas combustion equipment and requested to bubble the emissions of SN-16, SN-17, SN- 18, SN-26, SN-27, SN-28 and SN-33. The facility design capacity of all natural gas equipment at the facility results with a new maximum natural gas usage limit of 1,298 million standard cubic feet per year (MMSCF/yr). 3. Consistent with other Tyson facilities, existing operations Live Hang Process and Peroxyacetic Acid (PAA) Operations Permit are being added as permitted sources SN-34 and SN-35, respectively. 4. Several existing activities were added to the Insignificant Activities List: A 10,000 gallon diesel storage tank, 10 cooling towers, and cleaners/sanitizers were added at category A-13 activities; Quality Assurance Chemicals were added as a category A-5 activity. 5. Given that the Kemco water heaters (SN-26 and SN-27) are direct contact water heaters, they were removed from being subject to NSPS Dc requirements. 6. The throughput of fried product was increased from 21,900 to 28,470 tpy through fryers SN-21 through SN-24. The throughput of fried product was increased from 52,560 to 58,284 tpy through fryer SN-32 and increased from 43,800 to 58,284 tpy through SN-29. 7. The opacity limits for SN-21, SN-22, SN-23, SN-24, SN-29 and SN-33 are being updated from 5% to 20%. In addition to being installed or modified after January 30, 1972, the fryers are being controlled in a similar fashion as Tyson fryers at other facilities with 20% opacities. This permitting action results emission increases of

7.4 tpy PM/PM10, 9.9 tpy VOC, 29.6 tpy CO, 36.8 tpy NOx, and 1.04 tpy Total HAPs. Associated emission decreases are 0.1 tpy SO2. The application has been reviewed by the staff of the Department and has received the Department’s tentative approval subject to the terms of this notice.

The holiday season is upon us and soon millions of people will be looking to buy the perfect gift. For many, that will include shopping online in hopes of finding the right gift at the right price. Unfortunately, this is also the time of year many cyber criminals go to work to scam you out of your money and identity. Here are some ways to protect yourself. When possible, purchase from websites you know, trust, and have done business with. Verify the website has a legitimate mailing address and phone number for sales or to add support. If the site looks suspicious, call and speak to someone in person. If you can’t talk to a real person, that may be a sign you are dealing with someone who is not legitimate. Look for warning signs, like deals that are too good to be true or poor spelling. Be suspicious if a website mimics a well-known website you have used in the past. Type the store’s name or URL into a search engine and see what other people have said about the website in the past. A lack of reviews may indicate the website is very new and it might not be trustworthy. Strawn-Wagner Sparkle and Fire Before purchasing any items, make sure your connection to the website is encrypted. Look for the lock and/or the letters https in green right before the website’s name. uuu Gems From The Crater uuu In addition to shopping smart, you will want to keep your devices secure.
