Document Description
Eternal Hills Cemetery Association is adding a second cremation unit to an existing human crematory operation. An American Crematory, model A-300 (or equivalent) cremation unit will be added to the existing unit occupying the same building. The new unit will use natural gas as the fuel and have a twenty-three-foot exhaust stack. The operation will run sixteen (16) hours a day, six days (6) a week, fifty (50) weeks per year. The second crematory will have an enforceable permit limiting the total number of cremations to 2,400 per year. Project implementation may only occur following the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (SDAPCD) issuance of air quality permits (Authority to Construct and Permit to Operate) and will be subject to permit conditions limiting or requiring specifications, including but not limited to strict recordkeeping of all cremations, to ensure compliance with SDAPCD air pollution control requirements, thereby minimizing the impact of any emissions and ensuring no significant adverse effect upon ambient air quality or public health. The project applicant will be subject to periodic inspections by the SDAPCD to confirm compliance.
