Specialty Lens Corporation manufactures polarized prescription plastic lens blanks to sell to optical laboratories. The company has proposed an addition of a new lens manufacturing process, the MR-7 process, to its existing plant. VOC emissions from the MR-7 process shall be controlled using an activated carbon filter system. VOC and HAP emissions are recalculated based on its current material usage data. The emissions, in tons per year, will change as follows: VOC (-) 0.77, HAPs (+) 0.08. The changes in emissions will result in the following, in tons per year, potential to emit totals: VOC = 34.00 and HAPs = 0.21
The company is located in Salt Lake County which is a nonattainment area of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for PM10 and SO2 and is a maintenance area for CO (Salt Lake City only) and O3. New Source Performance Standard (NSPS), National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), and Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) regulations do not apply to this source. Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act does not apply to this source.
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.

New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), 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 applies to this source. This Approval Order (AO) is being processed as an enhanced AO, and the Title V permit will be administratively amended after the AO is issued.
The emissions, in tons per year, will change as follows: PM10 -80.49, NOx +4.48, SOx +0.03, CO +3.77, & VOC +0.25
The changes in emissions will result in the following, in tons per year, potential to emit totals: PM10 = 302.14, NOx = 66.02, SO2 = 0.40, CO = 16.08, & VOC = 3.52.
In the past the Potential To Emit (PTE) values were underestimated, although this did not affect the conditions of the permit, it is worth noting that these values within this permit have been adjusted to more accurately reflect current PTE estimates. Grandfathered equipment has not been included in the PTE calculations for this permit.

On June 15, 2009 Sunnyside Cogeneration Associates (SCA) submitted a Notice of Intent requesting permission to install a coal delumper and adjust two conditions in the existing Approval Order (DAQE-AN0096021-06) issued to SCA's cogeneration facility located in Sunnyside, Carbon County.
The coal delumper is a device to break up previously processed chunks of coal refuse that have become frozen during cold weather. Any particulate emissions will be controlled by an existing baghouse and by operating the delumper inside a building. Total emissions are estimated at a fraction of a ton per year (0.00009 tpy). No other equipment will be affected by this change.
Current Approval Order condition 17 requires SCA to measure production rate during emissions testing in terms of electricity production. SCA is requesting that production rate instead be based on maximum steam production of the boiler. This would represent a more immediate demonstration that the boiler is operating within 90% of capacity.
In the last paragraph of current Approval Order condition 21 there is a requirement for a 15% relative accuracy test audit (RATA) performance requirement. The original basis for this requirement comes from 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, which has a 20% performance requirement. SCA has demonstrated to the Utah Department of Air Quality that a value of 20% is more appropriate given that the nature of the requirement is to ensure the proper tolerance range of the analyzer and has no correlation with emissions. The more restrictive requirement simply makes the certification process of the Continuous Emissions Monitoring System more difficult and would not serve as any additional protection of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards or PSD increment.
The effect on emissions from these three changes is negligible, and are outside the sensitivity of any testing or monitoring required at the plant. Therefore no changes in total emissions are being made at this time. Plant-wide emissions will remain as follows:
142.91 tpy of PM10
1,289.26 tpy of SO2
771.2 tpy of NOx
261.96 tpy of CO
18.17 tpy of VOC
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.

Pacific West is requesting a renewal of a Ground Water Discharge Permit.
Pacific West is an existing facility for disposal of hydrocarbon-contaminated soil located near Lake Point, Tooele County, Utah. Soil contaminated with heavy hydrocarbons, primarily from railroad facilities, is mixed with sand and gravel to produce road base and asphalt. Once sealed beneath pavement, there is little chance of the soil causing a significant release of contaminants to the environment. Only soils which are nonhazardous wastes are accepted for recycling. Soils are stored in large stockpiles at the site, which is a gravel pit, until they can be used. The main threat to ground water posed by the facility is from storm water or leachate which has come into contact with the contaminated soils and may enter ground or surface water. This permit is founded on the use of waste minimization technology to prevent such an occurrence.
Additional information and associated documents are available for public review at the Division of Water Quality, during regular business hours. Call 801-538-6146 to schedule an appointment.

Rocky Mountain Aggregate, LLC has requested a name and ownership change for Approval Order (AO) DAQE-AN0132830003-07 dated June 15, 2007. DAQ has changed the holder and party responsible for complying with the terms and conditions contained in this AO to "Rocky Mountain Aggregate, LLC" from "Nish Rock Products, LLC." At this same time Rocky Mountain Aggregate, LLC has also requested a modification to their AO to replace the existing crusher and screen with a crusher/screen plant, and to add a topsoil screen. A generator was used to supply power to the facility. Utility power has since been installed and the generator and resulting conditions will be removed from this AO. There are no changes to production; however, emissions were estimated with updated emission factors, and the haul road length and controls were updated.
Box Elder County is an attainment area of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for all pollutants. New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) Subpart A, 40 CFR 60.1 to 60.18 (General Provisions) and Subpart OOO, 40 CFR 60.670 to 60.676 (Standards of Performance for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing Plants) apply to this source. National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) regulations do not apply to this source. Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act applies to this source, and this source is considered a Title V Area Source.
Due to the removal of the generator, updated emission factors, and updated haul road information, the emissions, in tons per year, will change as follows: PM10 + 1.96, NOx - 20.28, SO2 - 1.33, CO - 4.37, VOC - 1.61, HAPs - 0.02
The changes in emissions will result in the following, in tons per year, potential to emit totals: PM10 = 6.87.
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.

ATK Launch Systems Inc. (ATK) operates a rocket motor manufacturing plant, located 28 miles west of Brigham City, on US Highway 83, Box Elder County. As part of the rocket motor plant, ATK operates an aluminum anodizing process that uses an alkaline cleaner tank, a caustic etch tank, a deoxidizer tank, and a sulfuric acid tank. Aluminum parts are rotated through these tanks. The final water rinse after the sulfuric acid treatment is done in water heated to just below boiling; all other water rinses are done at ambient temperature. ATK is replacing the 30-year-old ventilation system for the aluminum anodizing process. When the system was originally built, a wet scrubber was added to remove vapors from the exhaust stream. Modeling does not show an environmental impact at ATK's fence line for uncontrolled emissions or a health issue for the employees working in and around the building. ATK is removing the wet scrubber and will ventilating the vapors directly to the atmosphere.
Box Elder County is an attainment area of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for all pollutants. New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and Maximum Available Control Technology (MACT) regulations apply to this source but not to this modification. Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act applies to this source. The criteria and Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) emissions, in tons per year, will remain as follows: PM10 = 187.24, VOC = 75.00, and HAPs = 70.00.
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.

Northwest Pipeline GP has requested a modification to DAQE-AN0756002-05, to replace two grandfathered turbines with one new turbine and change a generator engine at the Vernal Compressor Station. The Vernal Compressor Station is located approximately 17 miles north east of Vernal, Utah. The existing Vernal Compressor Station consist of three turbines (two grandfathered), and an emergency generator. The new Vernal Compressor Station will consist of two turbines, an emergency generator, and a fuel gas heater. The emissions increases from the Vernal Compressor Station are as follows: 31.66 Tons Per Year (TPY) of NOX, 37.61 of TPY CO, 4.77 TPY of SOX, 10.98 TPY of VOC, and 1.42 TPY of HAPs. The emissions from the Vernal Compressor Station are as follows: 3.46 TPY of PM10, 48.74 TPY of NOX, 59.61 of TPY CO, 7.32 TPY of SOX, 16.98 TPY of VOC, and 1.54 TPY of combined HAPs.
The Vernal Compressor Station is located in an attainment area for all criteria pollutants. The new Solar Taurus 70 turbine engine is subject to 40 CFR Part 60, Subparts A and KKKK (Stationary Gas Turbines). The Vernal Compressor Station is classified as a Title V minor source. The estimated emissions from the operation of this source are below the threshold level established in DAQ's modeling for criteria pollutant guidelines. Modeling was conducted for formaldahyde and the concentration was below the Toxic Screening Level.
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.
