Re:
Request
for
Info.

I
checked
our
permits
database
and
no
records
were
shown
for
Tandy
Magnetics
and
Magnetic
Ticket
and
Label
companies.

However,
there
is
a
magnetic
tape
manufacturing
company
in
Graham,
TX.
The
comp
any
name
is
eMag
Solutions
LLC
(
formerly
Graham
Magnetics
Inc.)
The
permit
file
shows
that
this
permit
was
last
amended
on
May
20,
2002
in
which
the
company
pr
oposed
to
change
status
from
major
to
minor
source
by
curtailing
production
(
rem
oval
of
some
equipment
and
HAP
compounds
from
the
coating
materials).
This
resu
lted
in
a
decrease
of
383
tons
per
year
(
tpy)
of
VOC.
Full
dipersion
modeling
w
as
performed
by
company's
consultant
and
audited
by
our
modeling
staff.
The
imp
acts
(
ground
level
concentrations)
were
shown
to
be
acceptable.

The
current
permit
maximum
allowable
emission
rates
are
as
follows:
78.4
tpy
of
VOC
and
5.9
tpy
of
products
of
combustion.
I've
attached
a
copy
of
the
current
permit
conditions
and
maximum
allowable
emission
rates
table
for
your
informati
on.

Should
you
have
further
questions,
I
can
