FINDINGS AND OBSERVATIONS The Multipass Ricemiling Project applied for the renewal of its Permit to Operate Air Pollution Installation on July 23, 2015. The permit to renewed will expire on July 30, 2015 and covers the operation of 50 cavans palay per hour Multi Pass Ricemilling equipment consisting of hull sifter; 3 Rubber Roller Rice Huller Head; Paddy Separator; 2 Rice Sifters; Pressure Type Gravity Stoner; 2 Vertical Rice Polishers; 2 Mist Polishers; Rice Sorter; and Rice Husk Storage Bin; Process is equipped with Husk Aspirators, Husk Blower, Bran/Dust Blower, Cyclone Dust Collector, Dust Room and Cyclone Product Collector; 1 unit 12,000 liters capacity above ground storage tank. Upon actual inspection with was noted some discrepancies in the actual equipment involved in the project versus the facilities enumerated in the permit.

REMARKS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: All sources of air pollution in the project area were not included in the application for renewal of permit. The operation of the project generates tiny particles of solid material defined as particulates and at high concentrations, may become an air pollution concern. Total Suspended Particulates, depending on their size and other properties, may remain suspended in the air for a few seconds or indefinitely. TSP are primarily important from a nuisance perspective. The project however is provided with air pollution devices such as blowers and dust collectors. The fuel storage tanks installed in the project area volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that evaporate in storage tanks. During unloading of petrol to a storage tank or refueling of a vehicle, petro! vapour in the tank will be displaced by the incoming petrol. Unless controlled, the petrol vapour will dissipate into the atmosphere. Major harmful effects of ‘VOCs from fuel filing station would include: a. Enhancing the formation of ozone and fine particulates in the atmosphere, thus | causing smog b.| Presenting a potential health risk to the public as it contains benzene, a | carcinogen, and c.| Anuisance to the people in the vicinity. Respectfully recommending for the issuance of Notice of Technical Conference requiring them to attend and submit written justification why no penalty be imposed against them under the provisions of RA 8749 for violation of permit condition for failure include in the application for renewal the additional installation that may generate air pollution. Moreover, they shall be required to comply with the Department Administrative Order No. 2014-02 by re-appointing or appointing a new Pollution Control Officer possessing the qualifications stated in the said DAO.
