*CAAA is operating both explosive burning and explosive detonation sites under the provisions of APC-2, the Indiana Air Pollution Regulation that allows open burning and/or

detonation of hazardous material. The permit (called a variance) that allows CAAA to operate these facilities is renewable on a calendar year basis. CAAA has been assured

that the EPA has approved Indiana's SIP, and that the state APCB expects to continue renewing the permit indefinitely.
