The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) Coastal Zone Act Program has received a request for a major modification to a standard coastal zone permit from FujiFilm Imaging Colorants, Inc. (“FujiFilm”) (CZA-441M). FujiFilm is proposing to modify existing permit CZA-441P, which authorizes the manufacturing of 110 tons per year (TPY) of high-performance aqueous pigment dispersions for ink jet printer ink. The proposed modification would introduce additional equipment and a new boiler building to the site and utilize the processes described and permitted under CZA-441P to create the same products, thereby increasing the production capacity to 220 TPY. The application can be viewed at de.gov/czapps.
