Radius Recycling dba Schnitzer Steel Products Company

The Bay Area Air Quality Management District is processing Application 30880 for Radius Recycling, doing business as Schnitzer Steel Products Company, located in Oakland, California. This project is an administrative action to update the description of the S-6 electric metal shredder with water injection to reflect approved hourly process rates of 350 tons per hour on average and a maximum of 400 tons per hour. This update ensures consistency with previous filings, specifically Application 30009, which involved the installation of Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers and Packed Bed Scrubbers to abate precursor organic compound emissions. Because this change is administrative and does not increase maximum daily or annual throughput, no additional analysis of hourly emission increases is required. The project satisfies the No Net Emission Increase provisions of District Regulation 2, Rule 2, and does not trigger Best Available Control Technology or Best Available Control Technology for Toxics requirements. As a ministerial action, the project is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act requirements. The final outcome of this process will be the reissuance of the facility's Permit to Operate to formally reflect the approved process rates for the S-6 shredder and S-7 infeed conveyor.
