The purpose of a Class I permit is to identify the sources and types of regulated air pollutants emitted from the facility; the emission limitations, standards, and requirements applicable to each source; and the monitoring, record keeping, and reporting requirements applicable to each source as of the effective date of permit issuance.
SFC Global – Tony’s Pizza, 3019 Scanlan Ave., Salina, KS 67401, owns and operates a production facility for frozen pizza and other specialty foods, located at 3019 Scanlan Ave., Salina, Saline County, KS 67401.

To obtain or review the proposed permit and supporting documentation, contact Meaghan Conant, 785-296-8142, at the central office of the KDHE or Jessica Fair, 785-827-9639, at the North Central District Office.

Please direct written comments or questions regarding the proposed permit to Meaghan Conant, KDHE, BOA, 1000 SW Jackson, Suite 310, Topeka, KS 66612-1366. In order to be considered in formulating a final permit decision, written comments must be received no later than 12:00 p.m. Monday, October 30, 2023.
A person may request a public hearing be held on the proposed permit. The request for a public hearing shall be in writing and set forth the basis for the request. The written request must be submitted to Meaghan Conant, KDHE BOA, 1000 SW Jackson, Suite 310, Topeka, KS 66612-1366, no later than 12:00 p.m. Monday, October 30, 2023 in order for the Secretary of Health and Environment to consider the request.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has a 45-day review period, which will start concurrently with the public comment period, within which to object to the proposed permit. If the EPA has not objected in writing to the issuance of the permit within the 45-day review period, any person may petition the administrator of the EPA to review the permit. The 60-day public petition period will directly follow the EPA’s 45-day review period. Interested parties may contact KDHE to determine if the EPA’s 45-day review period has been waived.
Any such petition shall be based only on objections to the permit that were raised with reasonable specificity during the public comment period provided for in this notice, unless the petitioner demonstrates that it was impracticable to raise such objections within such period, or unless the grounds for such objection arose after such period. Contact Keith Johnson, U.S. EPA, Region 7, Air Permitting and Compliance Branch, 11201 Renner Blvd., Lenexa, KS 66219, 913-551-7960, to determine when the 45-day EPA review period ends and the 60-day petition period commences.
