Hi Brian,
I looked at the language, and I don't think it quite requires a LUCS, but close. It just says it is the permittee's responsibility to obtain local land use approvals, where applicable, before operating at any location. It doesn't specifically require a written statement of approval to be issued by the local jurisdiction, which I think is what we require for a LUCS. I kept the stronger LUCS language in our draft permit requirement.

Hi,
Today during our call we discussed portable treatment units, the proposed biochar unit came up. This is/was a fast pyrolysis unit that would take woody debris and mainly convert it into biochar (w/ some oil also produced). It's a portable unit that would move from slash pile to slash pile to make biochar. The USFS was interested in this unit.
Being that our SW permits are site specific, the questions arose should we look at "mobile SW permits" for CT facilities. Air Quality permits mobile rock crushers and asphalt batch plants. They issue the operator one permit. A permit requirement is that the facility get a LUCS for each location they operate. They don't need to submit the LUCS to DEQ.
What are your thoughts on the SW program needing mobile permits for CT facilities and would the AQ scenario work?
Thanks

They just need to maintain the land use approval on site (1.4) and notify our regional office when the move, if a portable (7.4).
