NOTICE OF PROPOSED MODIFICATION OF THE HAZARDOUS WASTE PERMIT UNDER THE ALABAMA HAZARDOUS WASTES MANAGEMENT AND MINIMIZATION ACT (AHWMMA) AND REQUEST FOR COMMENTS
PUBLIC NOTICE – 421
Mobile County
Alabama State Port Authority (ASPA) of Mobile, Alabama submitted to ADEM an application for modification of its Hazardous Waste Permit for the solid waste management units that were used to manage hazardous wastes at its facility (EPA I.D. Number ALD 058 221 326) located at 68 Virginia Street, Mobile, Alabama 36603. The Department has determined the facility’s modification application to be complete and has prepared a draft permit in accordance with State regulations.
ASPA currently leases out the land for use as a container terminal where cargo containers are transshipped between different vessels or vehicles. ASPA is the owner, and the Mobile Container Terminal operates the facility. The permit modification was requested to revise the facility boundary to remove sold portions of the contiguous property from the permit and to correct minor errors displayed on the contiguous property map. In addition, the proposed permit modification includes provisions that require any other solid waste management units and areas of concern at the facility to be addressed.
Copies of the fact sheet, permit modification application and draft AHWMMA permit are available 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.
