Note: R307-401-9 identifies exempt small sources.
R307-401-9-3 stipulates that small source May submit written registration notice to the director. It is an option not a
requirement. In my first conversation with Mr. Humphries he also indicated it was not a requirement.
Furthermore, the previous owners of Energy Recycling Technologies elected to register as a small source and qualified,
even though their calculations were based on a 21 hour cycle time and running 417 ten ton cycles per year. We are using
the exact same equipment and the exact same process except that we are going to use propane instead of natural gas.
Also, we are going to be running on a 24 hour cycle and a maximum of 260 less than ten ton cycles per year. So
obviously if they qualified then we easily are exempt.
Thanks,
Wayne
