Notice of Public Review and Request for Comments

RE: P.J. Milligan & Company’s Installation of a New Paint Spray Booth

View Notice in Spanish by clicking here: en Español (PDF)

P.J. Milligan & Company has applied to the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) for a permit to operate a new paint spray booth at 436-A East Gutierrez Street in Santa Barbara. This facility assembles and finishes new wood furniture. The location of the project is within 1,000 feet of the property boundary of El Puente Community High School.

As part of the APCD’s evaluation of this proposed installation, we have used a state-approved computer model to assess the potential health risk created by the project’s emissions. Our modeling analysis, which is conservatively health protective, shows that the expected emissions from this installation will be well below any levels that would create a significant air toxic risk to public health and the environment. Before our agency issues this permit, state law requires that we notify you, since you are either the parent/guardian of a student attending the school or are a resident or business located within 1,000 feet of the site. We are providing you an opportunity to review and comment on this proposed permitting action. Further, prior to issuing the final permit, we will submit to the permit’s administrative file our written responses to any comments we receive during the comment period.
