The site entrance is located on Highway 191. SOURCE CONTACTS: Jason Holliday, Owner 435-979-5351, hollidayconstruction5@yahoo.com Clara H, Secretary 435-678-2028, hollidayconstruction5@yahoo.com OPERATING STATUS: Not operating at the time of inspection. Work is done at this site infrequently. PROCESS DESCRIPTION: Holliday Construction owns an aggregate processing pit near Bluff. Raw aggregate material mined from the walls of the quarry is fed into the crusher/screening circuit where it is separated according to size class. Material that is too large to pass through the screen is crushed in a crusher and re-routed through the screens. Separated aggregate is conveyed to various storage piles by stacking conveyors. A water truck is used to control dust in the yard and operational areas, and water sprays are used to control dust in the crusher/screening circuit. The aggregate operation is powered by a 400-kW diesel generator with an Oxy Catalyst. A wash plant is also present onsite. The wash plant and water pump were powered by a 180-kW diesel generator, which is no longer operational. 2 APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: Approval Order (AO) DAQE-AN106170002-15, dated November 5, 2015 NSPS (Part 60) IIII: Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines, NSPS (Part 60) OOO: Standards of Performance for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing Plants, MACT (Part 63) ZZZZ: National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines SOURCE EVALUATION: Name of Permittee: Permitted Location: Holliday Construction Incorporated - Bluff Pit PO Box 502 4 miles west of Bluff at the intersection of U.S. Routes 163 and 191 Blanding, UT 84511 San Juan County, UT SIC Code: 1442: (Construction Sand & Gravel) Section I: GENERAL PROVISIONS I.1 All definitions, terms, abbreviations, and references used in this AO conform to those used in the UAC R307 and 40 CFR.
