PUBLIC NOTICE
 
FROM:   The Virgin Islands Department of Planning and Natural Resources
 
TO:  All residential and business neighbors located within 1,000 feet of the proposed new or modified source(s) of air pollution listed below. 
 
RE:   Permit Application for the following source(s) of air pollution: 
 
One Crematory Retort 
Cremation Care, LLC/Davis Funeral Home 
Fortress Storage Warehouse 
St. Thomas, USVI 00802 
 
The Virgin Islands Department of Planning and Natural Resources (the “DPNR”) office of 
Environmental Protection is a local agency that regulates stationary sources of air pollution such 
as commercial stationary power generators, industrial sites, and gasoline stations through its Air 
Pollution Control Program. 
 
Whenever we receive a permit application for a new  or modified source(s) of toxic air contaminants, VI law requires that the public be notified. To comply with this requirement, we are dispensing this Public Notice to all residents and businesses located within 1,000 feet, of the proposed source(s). 
 
This facility is required to issue a Public Notice because a permit application has been filed with the DPNR for the above referenced source of air pollution. A description of the proposed project follows: One propane gas-fired crematory retort, with the secondary chamber operating at  > or = to 1800 degrees F = 19.00 cu ft from flame tip, a residence time >  or = to one second and an exhaust gas grain loading of less than 0.06 grains per dry standard cubic feet adjusted to 7% O2, that meet the requirement for Best Available Control Technology for toxic air contaminants. 
 
The DPNR has determined that the increase in health risks resulting from toxic air contaminant emissions from the proposed source(s) are within acceptable levels, and that the project will comply with all other applicable air pollution control requirements. Accordingly, the DPNR plans to entertain issuance of a Permit to Operate for the proposed 
project.  
 
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD  
There is a 30-day period for public response to this proposal, after which the public hearing will be held in the DPNR conference room located adjacent to the Division of Building Permits on Tuesday December 6th, 2011 at 6 o’clock pm. If you wish to review the application and comment on the proposed project, you may do so by visiting  the DPNR Division of Environmental Protection located at the Cyril E. King Airport where the documents will be on display. Please use the following contact information if you have any questions on the proposed project:
