SHELBY
COUNTY Middle Tennessee Land Development Company, LLC (MTLDC), Industrial Material Products quarry,
1431 Kensington Square Court,
Murfreesboro,
Tennessee
37130, has submitted air and water permit applications for the proposed crushed limestone mine, wet preparation, and associated areas to be located at
844 Smokey Road, east of State Highway 119, south of Alabaster, in
Shelby
County. Notice is also given that ADEM will hold a public hearing on Thursday, October 13, 2005, at 6:30 PM, at the Thompson High School Auditorium,
100 Warrior Drive,
Alabaster,
Alabama,
35007, concerning the applications for the water discharge and air permits. MTLDC has applied for issuance of a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit, proposed NPDES AL0077411, for proposed discharges of treated drainage from a crushed stone mine, wet preparation, and associated areas to an unnamed tributary to Spring Creek, classified for Fish & Wildlife in the
Cahaba
River basin. The Department has tentatively determined that the proposed actions described in this notice are consistent with the Water Quality Rules including the Department’s Anti-degradation Rules. MTLDC has also applied for an Air Permit, Facility No. 411-0059-X001, which would authorize the construction and operation of a limestone crushing and conveying operation. Emissions of particulates would be minimized by the use of wet suppression. The Department has also tentatively determined that the limitations proposed by the company would properly limit air emissions and would satisfy the requirements of the Department’s Air Pollution Control Rules. Copies of the draft permits, conditions, limitations and a fact sheet as applicable are available for public inspection electronically via
