SOLID AND HAZARDOUS WASTE

An emergency waste treatment permit has been issued to the St. George Police Department, St George, Utah. The permit allowed St. George Police Department Bomb Squad personnel to treat, by open detonation, one military munition that was found at a local residence. Emergency procedures call for disposal of such potentially reactive items, using thermal destruction, to minimize potential threat to human health. Utah Administrative Rules allow application for an emergency permit if an imminent and substantial endangerment to human health or the environment is present. It was determined that the military munition was potentially shock sensitive and therefore unsafe to transport to a permitted treatment facility.

COMMENT THROUGH FEBRUARY 8, 2007
SOLID AND HAZARDOUS WASTE

The Executive Secretary of the Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Control Board has received a one-time, site-specific treatment variance request for a waste with Waste Codes D009 or U151 (High Subcatagory Mercury), at the EnergySolutions LLC, Mixed-Waste Facility. The treatment variance request, if approved, would allow EnergySolutions to treat the waste with an amalgamation process that achieves the Land Disposal Restriction requirements without the initial steps of incineration or retorting. This variance would be valid for the 2007 calendar year. The 1/23/07 hearing will take place at the Tooele County Courthouse at 7:00 p.m.

Comment period: 1/9/07 – 2/8/07. Contact: Otis Willoughby

Progressive Contracting, Inc. has submitted a Notice of Intent (NOI) to modify AO # DAQE-AN2898001-03 to add two screening plants, three crushers, and a rip rap plant to their aggregate plant located in St. George. The production limit of 650,000 tons of processed aggregate material per rolling 12-month period will remain the same.

The source is located in Washington County. Washington County is an attainment area of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for all pollutants. New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), 40 CFR 60 Subpart OOO apply to this source. National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and Maximum Available Control Technology (MACT) regulations do not apply to this source. Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act does apply to this source.

The emissions, in tons per year, will change as follows: PM10 = + 0.48

The changes in emissions will result in the following, in tons per year, potential to emit totals: PM10 = 6.90, NOx = 29.66, SO2 = 1.96, CO = 6.39, VOC = 2.36, HAPS = 50.77 lbs/year

The completed engineering evaluation and air quality impact analysis showed that the proposed project meets the requirements of federal air quality regulations and the State air quality rules. Approval is recommended.

The proposal and estimate of the effect on local air quality can be reviewed at the Division of Air Quality. Call 801-536-4000 to schedule an appointment.

Kennecott Utah Copper Corporation (KUCC) has requested the modification of their Smelter Approval Order (AO) DAQE-AN0346027-06, dated February 2, 2006. KUCC is seeking to add uncontrolled process gas emissions at the acid plant as an approved source. KUCC is also requesting approval to allow the granulators to be ducted out of the secondary gas collection system following phased installation of separate scrubbing systems ducted to vent stacks, and is proposing to incorporate other minor changes to the AO. KUCC is requesting to reduce the stack testing frequency on the Dedicated Rotary Dryer Baghouse/Scrubber be reduced from “every year” to “every 5 years”.

KUCC Smelter is a major source for PM10, SO2, and NOx, and is subject to NSPS Subparts A, Db, Dc, and P. This source is listed in Utah's State Implementation Plan (SIP), but these modifications do not require increases in these limits, thus no change in the SIP is required. The Smelter currently operates under the Title V Permit # 3500030001. The Title V Permit will have to be modified before KUCC can implement the proposed changes. Salt Lake County is a Non-attainment area of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for PM10 and SO2. Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act applies to this source. The emissions will increase, in tons per year (tpy), as follows: PM10 = 13.87 and SO2 = 8.04. There emissions, in tons per the rolling 12-month period, will be as follows: PM10 = 502.16, SO2 = 1,085.70, NOx = 185.22, CO = 78.49, VOC = 13.00, and HAPs = 13.50.

The completed engineering evaluation and air quality impact analysis showed that the proposed project meets the requirements of federal air quality regulations and the State air quality rules. Approval is recommended.

The proposal and estimate of the effect on local air quality can be reviewed at the Division of Air Quality. Call 801-536-4000 to schedule an appointment.
