# Shawn Hutchings Shawn Hutchings ([email protected], 501-682-0761) is the DEQ Office of Air Quality engineer who wrote the Groot/Project Pyramid air permit. The pre-draft file shows him enforcing the disclosure rules against the shell structure: "That disclosure still does not list anyone as officers or owners of Groot LLC. The disclosure statement issue will need to be addressed before we can issue a draft permit" (2025-10-20), and rejecting a delegation letter the delegate "signed themselves." ## Role and affiliations Engineer, Division of Environmental Quality, Office of Air Quality, North Little Rock. ## Appearances in the corpus - [[Groot Air Permit Pre-Draft Correspondence]] — the Oct 2025–Feb 2026 working threads (disclosure fight; ERT/HAP corrections; the 249-tpy site-wide NOx cap; "sizes, and what they power are only in the confidential application"). - [[Project Pyramid Title V Air Permit (2507-AOP-R0)]] — reviewing engineer on the issued permit. ## Notes The disclosure exchange resolved with [[Michael Montfort]]'s title accepted as "Manager" (2025-10-30).
