Nucor is required by a Consent Decree with EPA to readdress the Best Available Control Technology on the reheat furnaces at their plants. Nucor has determined that installing Low NOx Burners on their reheat furnaces would satisfy the BACT requirement that is required. Nucor replaced the #2 reheat furnace in 2006 and is requesting approval to install low NOx burners on the #1 reheat furnace.

The Nucor plant is located in Box Elder County which is an attainment area for all pollutants. Nucor Steel is a Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) source and a Title V source. Nucor is currently regulated by the New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) Subpart AA a (Standards for Steel Plants: Electric Arc Furnaces and Argon-Oxygen Decarbourization Vessels Constructed after August 7, 1983). This AO is not intended to contradict any conditions in the EPA consent decree for Nucor dated July 20, 2001. The emissions (in tons per year) will change as follows: NOx – 23.41, and CO + 37.24. The changes in emissions will result in the following, in tons per year, potential to emit totals: PM10 = 132.02, NOx = 418.21, SO2 = 328.75, CO = 2,917.86, VOC = 172.98 and HAPs = 13.02.

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.

Modification to Approval Order DAQE-AN0313021-06 for Addition of Kiln #5 and Replacement of Scrubber on Kiln #1 with a Baghouse

Graymont Western US Inc., submitted a Notice of Intent (NOI) for an Approval Order (AO) modification and Title V Permit changes for the proposed addition of a new fifth kiln, with associated conveyors, limestone screen, product screens and crushers, loadouts, and storage silos. In addition, Graymont proposes to replace the existing wet scrubber on Kiln #1 with a baghouse, make modifications to Kiln #1, and add petroleum coke to the list of primary fuels for Kiln’s #1 and #5 and high sulfur coals to the list of primary fuels for Kilns #1 thru #5. The Cricket Mountain Plant is currently operated under AO DAQE-AN0313021-06, dated March 16, 2006 and Title V Operating Permit 2700005001, dated August 15, 2006. Under both the New Source Review (NSR) and Title V programs, the Cricket Mountain Plant is a major stationary source of air emissions. This project will result in a “significant net emissions increase” for sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM) and particulate matter less than 10 micrometers in mean diameter (PM10). The Cricket Mountain Plant is located southwest of the city of Delta in Millard County, Utah. Millard County is an attainment area of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for all pollutants. The plant is located within 250 kilometers of several areas that are classified as Class I areas under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program for the protection of air quality.

Emission controls for Kiln #5 include a baghouse to control PM and PM10. SO2 emissions will be controlled by the inherent dry scrubbing of the lime production process. NOx will be controlled through efficient combustion practices, minimization of fuel consumption and excess air for the combustion process. The formation of CO and VOCs will also be limited by controlling the combustion of the fuel and providing adequate oxygen (O2) for complete combustion (good combustion practices). Emissions will be controlled sufficiently to meet Best Available Control Technology (BACT) requirements of the PSD program and UDAQ regulations. UDAQ regulations require all modifications with emissions increases to meet BACT.

COMMENT THROUGH JUNE 25, 2007
SOLID AND HAZARDOUS WASTE

The Deseret Chemical Depot will hold a public information meeting on May 22, 2007, at the Tooele Chemical Stockpile Public Outreach Office for a Class 2 Modification (07.01293) to its Chemical Agent Munitions Disposal Systems (CAMDS) Permit. CAMDS proposes to update its Facility Inspection Plan. The proposed changes reflect CAMDS’ transition from operations to facility closure status and would reduce the requirements to inspect hazardous waste management units (HWMUs) and support equipment which is no longer in operation.

Comment period: 4/26/07 – 6/25/07

Deseret Chemical Ddepot is operated by the United States Army for the purpose of storing and maintaining a portion of the nation’s chemical munitions stockpile. Currently the TOCDF Incinerators must comply with the Approval Order, the Title V permit, and the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) requirements for Hazardous Waste Combustors. DCD has requested that the AO and Title V permit be modified to include just the MACT requirements. In the current AO, DCD is required to show compliance with agent emissions using the Automatic Continuous Air Monitoring System (ACAMS). DCD has requested approval to use Depot Area Air Monitoring System (DAAMS) to show compliance if the ACAMS malfunctions or is unavailable. DAAMS may be used to confirm the presence of agent if an ACAMS alarms. DCD will be adding two additional ventilation units to the Metal Parts Furnace cool down area.

DCD is located in the attainment area of Tooele County for the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) regulations apply to the TOCDF area at the DCD. Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act applies to this source. The SO2 Potential to emit, in tons per year (tpy) will increase by 2.30 tpy. The changes in emissions will result in the following, in tons per year, potential to emit totals for all of the DCD: PM10 = 28.32, SO2 = 93.36, NOx = 222.26, CO = 68.77, VOC = 10.12, and HCl = 8.80.

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.
