OPERATING STATUS: Operating. Units 1,3,4 on line unit 5 taken off line during
inspections.
PROCESS DESCRIPTION: The Cricket Mountain Lime Plant consists of quarries and a lime
processing plant, including mining activities, limestone
processing, five rotary lime kilns, post-kiln lime handling, and
truck and rail load out facilities. The rotary kilns are used to
convert crushed limestone ore into quicklime. The products
produced for sale are lime, limestone, and kiln dust. The major
sources of air emissions are from mining and material handling
and the combustion of fuels for the kiln operation.
Limestone is blasted to loosen it from the quarry face. The
blasted material is loaded into haul trucks and transferred to a
feeder at the primary crushing plant. The limestone material is
crushed in a horizontal crusher and then sized by a triple deck
screener. After sizing, the limestone is conveyed to one of the
three stockpiles: waste, small stone, and large stone. From the
limestone stockpiles, the material is conveyed into bottom dump
haul trucks and trucked from the quarry to the processing plant.

Water sprays are used to control the fugitive dust on the
crushers, screens, and conveyors. A water truck is used to
control the fugitive dust from the roadways, along with chemical
treatment.
At the processing plant, the limestone is dumped into one of
three hoppers and then conveyed to one of three radial stackers.
The stone is finally conveyed from the stackers to the desired
live pile, through another screen, fed to the stone grinding
facility, and then to the kiln preheater. The material is fed into
the preheater by hydraulic rams. The stone passes through the
preheater and into a coal fired rotary kiln that operates at
approximately 2,200 degrees F. The tumbling action of the kiln
and the high temperature chemically alters the limestone to lime.
The lime exits the kiln and is air cooled, crushed, and screened to
create the required product size. The lime is then transferred by
conveyor to storage silos, which feed the truck and railcar load
out facility. All equipment located at the processing plant is
vented into baghouses for emissions control.
