What Is The Construction And Operation Of The Space Fence Radar System

Better Essays

Environmental permitting for construction and operation of the space fence radar system was authorized in September 2014 with issuance of DEP-13-002.0, Construction and Operation of Space Fence Radar System. DEP 13-002.0 was subsequently modified in July 2015 and June 2016 to reflect updates in the design. The USAKA Environmental Standards (UES) section 2.7.1.1 requires submittal of an updated inventory of stationary sources of air pollutants upon completion of any new DEP that includes new stationary sources. DEP-13-002.0 includes stationary sources of air pollutants thereby requiring submittal of an updated inventory of stationary-sources. This minor modification to DEP-11-001.0, Air Emissions from Major Synthetic Minor, and …show more content…

No response by an agency within 30 days shall mean the agency does not object to the proposed minor modification. If no agency or USAG-KA objects or disagrees with the proposed minor modification, the modification shall be deemed to be in effect upon close of the 30-day comment period. If an agency or USAG-KA objects or disagrees with the proposed minor modification, the modification is not in effect and shall not be considered a minor modification as proposed. Changes to DEP-11-001.0 related to attainment of ambient air quality standards are awaiting completion of an ongoing air quality analysis. The ongoing air quality analysis includes on-site ambient air monitoring on near the Kwajalein, Roi Namur and Meck power plants and updated air quality dispersion modeling for these sources. Background/Discussion Inventory of Stationary Sources of Air Pollution Section 3-1.1.11.3 of the UES indicates the inventory of stationary sources of air pollutants shall include the following information: (1) Source name, type, and location. (2) Location, nature, and height of the emission point. (3) Stack diameter and stack-gas temperature and velocity. (4) Maximum hourly emission rate for each criteria air pollutant emitted. (5) Average hourly emission rate for each criteria air pollutant emitted. (6)
