    A review of this facility indicates Valley Queen Cheese Factory, Inc. (Valley Queen Cheese) can operate the dairy products manufacturer in compliance with South Dakota’s Air Pollution Control rules and the federal Clean Air Act. DENR, therefore, recommends the Board of Minerals and Environment issue a minor air quality operating permit to Valley Queen Cheese with conditions to ensure compliance with South Dakota Codified Laws (SDCL) 34A1 and the federal Clean Air Act.
