MEMORANDUM DSHW TN 1993.11246 Reply to: State of Utah Division of Air Quality P.O. Box 144820 Salt Lake City, Utah 84114^820 DAQT-073-93 DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: ''-'•' A July 12, 1993 Lynn Menlove Robert Swart Dispersion Modeling for Hercules Plant 1 NOTICE OF INTENT (NOI) for remediation of fluorine cylinders Modeling Performed by: Hercules Re: E. Richard Anderson letter dated 10 June 1993 E. Richard Anderson letter dated 30 June 1993 This facility DOES NOT constitute A PSD SOURCE. Background Hercules desires to remediate fluorine and tetrafluorohydrazine (N2F4) cylinders by venting them one-at-a-time with a small explosive charge placed on the valve of each cylinder. Fluorine is considered an airborne toxic. As such, concentration of fluorine at fenceline cannot exceed the TLV/100 (16 /ig/m^. Estimated Emissions Hercules proposes to remediate 54 fluorine and 10 N2F4 cylinders. The operation would be conducted in an open field approximately 1265 meters (m) north of the closest Hercules property fenceline. Fluorine cylinders will take approximately 25 seconds to vent across the valve orifice. After an appropriate dispersal period (« ^A hour), another charge can be set. This would result in twelve (12) cylinders being vented in a single day. The total daily fluorine load would be 12 cylinders/day x 8 lbs/cylinder = 96 pounds/day. The entire operation would take between 5 and 6 days. Detonation products from N2F4 will include NO, and hydrogen fluoride (HF) gases. Mass balance calculations show that a total of 9.6 pounds of hydrogen fluoride and 11.04 pounds of NO2 would be produced from remediating the N2F4 cylinders. Printed on recycled oaper DAQT-073-93 Page 2 Dispersion Modeling The EPA- approved model SCREEN was used to calculate a 1-hour concentration, which was then compared to Threshold Limit Values (TLV) for fluorine to determine whether or not the fluorine release is acceptable. The 1-hour concentration was converted to an 8-hour average by multiplying by a factor of 0.7. The industrial hygiene TLV value for fluorine is 1.6 mg/m' as set by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). The Utah ambient acceptable limit (AAL) of TLV/100 is 0.016 mg/m', or 16 /xg/m'. The TLVs for NO2 and HF resulting from detonation of the N2F4 cylinders are both higher than the TLV for fluorine. Therefore, modeling for fluorine is sufficient to insure acceptable impacts from N2F4. Listed in the following tables are the source parameters used in the modeling. Table 2. Point Source Parameters .PARAMKl'EK: Source Type Locatioii (UTM East, m) Location (UTM North, m) Emission rate (g/s) Stack Height (m) Stack Diameter (m) Stack Velocity (m/s) Stack Gas Temperature (°K) Ambient Air Temperature (°K) ••••:'Kih>::#l-- P 00 00 1.513 1.0 1.0 1.0 293 293 The SCREEN model treats the fluorine emissions as an emission from a smokestack. A number of SCREEN runs were made with variations in parameter values to determine their respective, relative influences upon the magnitude of ground level concentrations. Varying the values had negligible influences, with the exception of stack height and exit temperature; therefore, those two parameters were set at values to insure the most conservative (maximum concentration) results. Air Qualitv Impacts The modeling analysis has been verified and found to be in accordance with EPA and Division policy, and in accordance with pre-approved modeling protocol. The modeling shows that the maximum 8-hour, fenceline concentration for fluorine would be 49 /ig/m'; which exceeds the AAL. The maximum fenceline concentration under neutral and unstable meteorological conditions was 14 /xg/m'. Therefore, the applicant proposes to limit remediation operations to those days that would not consist of stable (stability categories E and F) conditions. Although there is not a one-to-one correspondence DAQT-073-93 Page 3 between stability classes and the clearing indices, it is assumed that a daytime clearing index greater than 500 excludes stability classes E and F. NAAOS Not applicable. PSD Increment Not applicable. Toxics The SCREEN model indicates that all ground level concentrations will be less than Utah's AAL's for the toxics from the proposed operations. Recommendation The result of the modeling run shows that there should be no violations of the Utah's toxic AAL's when operations are conducted with a daytime clearing index of 500 or greater. Based on these results, it is recommended that an Approval Order be issued to Hercules for the remediation of fluorine and N2F4 cylinders.
