## Summary

Central MN Ethanol is one of twelve ethanol facilities in Minnesota.  We met with the twelve companies over a three month period to discuss how to resolve their underestimated VOC and CO problem.  Each facility was permitted as a synthetic minor and tripped PSD by actually emitting at major source levels.  The facilities installed BACT-level controls for all of their significant units, and came into compliance with federal and state regulations in a very short amount of time.  These twelve cases were part of an expedited negotiation process that involved EPA, DOJ, and MPCA
