Bureau of Air Quality
On December 11, 2014, AVX submitted an application to DHEC’s Bureau of Air Quality (BAQ) for a conditional major operating permit to replace its existing Title V operating permit due to significant changes in facility operations. These changes included a decline in production levels and the facility’s reclassification as an area source for hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions after the removal of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (EGBE) from the list of federal HAPs. The facility also requested a federally-enforceable limit on its volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions to less than major source thresholds. There was no new construction associated with the application.
On August 18, 2015, the BAQ issued Conditional Major Operating Permit Number CM-1340-0002, replacing the facility’s Title V Operating Permit previously issued on April 17, 2013. The conditional major operating permit was subsequently updated on February 7, 2019.

Community Meeting - March 14, 2013
This meeting was held to update the community on the proposed air (Title V) & water (NPDES) renewal permits and the progress of the groundwater clean-up. There were three brief presentations and time for questions and answers. Below are the three presentations:
- Update on Groundwater Remediation (Carol Minsk)
- National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Re-issuance (Brett Caswell)
- Title V Operating Permit Renewal (Fatina Washburn Clark)
