OPERATING STATUS: Rotary kiln / Deactivation Furnace / Hazard Waste Incenerator (HWI) was
Operating at time of the inspecton.
PROCESS DESCRIPTION: TEAD operates a rotary kiln furnace which flashes explosive residue
from projectiles. Pollution controls include a cyclone, an afterburner, and
ceramic baghouse. Feed materials are loaded by operators into a push-off
box which is controlled by the timer to allow only the predetermined
feed rate. The material drops onto the feed belt which drops the material
into the front end of the kiln. The material passes through the fuel oil
fired counter current kiln where the heat ignites and separates the shell.
Any ash or metal components that are not entrained in the flue gas are
discharged at the end of the kiln to collection bins. The flue gas goes
through the discharge duct to a preliminary cyclone where any heavy
entrained particles or sparks are collected and dropped to a tipping valve
and collection box. The gasses continue on to the afterburner and then
are ducted to the ceramic baghouse and then to the ambient air.
Additionally, the kiln is inside a total enclosure with any ambient air
from the enclosure entering to the baghouse. The whole system is
equipped with a continuous monitoring system (CMS) that measures all
required process parameters such as flows, pressure, levels, etcetera.

The MACT standard for hazardous waste incinerators applies to this
source. The disassembly line functions as a recycling process of spent
ordinance shells and its propellants. The brass part of the shells are
recovered and sold as scrap.

II.A.2
APE 1236: APE 1236M1 Deactivation Furnace
The APE 1236M1 deactivation furnace is a rotary furnace used to destroy ammunition ranging from small
arms through 20 mm. The furnace is equipped with a cyclone, diesel oil-fired afterburner, Sodium
Bicarbonate Injection System, high temperature baghouse, fan, and a stack. Located in Building 1320.
Status: In compliance – A natural gas system has been installed for the Deactivation Furnace or Hazard
Waste Incenerator (HWI), (item II.A.2). The diesel and propane fuel systems have been
diconnnected from the furnace. The furnace has strictly operated on natural gas, starting January
6, 2025. The natural gas system was installed and operated prior to submitting the notice of permit
modification, which was received on January 22, 2025. See attached permit modification notice.
However, under 40 CFR 63 Subpart EEE 63.1206(b)(5)(ii), (Hazardous Waste Incinerators) the
source is allowed to make changes if the changes do not affect the emisisons of the deactivation
furnace. This was proven by reviewing the CEMs CO data, which indicated that the furnace
continued to operate, on natural gas, with CO emisisons under 100 ppm. Tooele Army Depot also
conducted a stack test to verify furnace emisison after the natural gas fuel conversion. See status of
condition II.B.1.d, Compliance Assistanc (below) and attached snapshot of the CEMs CO data
dated January 21, 2025.
II.B Requirements and Limitations
The following emission limitations, standards, and operational limitations apply to the permitted facility
as indicated:

limited to (a)-(f) below:
(a) Emissions limits - (40 CFR 63.1219(a)). The permittee shall not discharge or cause combustion
gases to be emitted into the atmosphere that contain:
(1) For dioxins and furans:
A. For incinerators equipped with either a waste heat boiler or dry air pollution control system,
either:
(i) Emissions of dioxins and furans shall not exceed 0.20 ng TEQ/dscm, corrected to 7
percent oxygen; or
(ii) Emissions of dioxins and furans shall not exceed 0.40 ng TEQ/dscm, corrected to 7
percent oxygen, provided that the combustion gas temperature at the inlet to the initial
particulate matter control device is 400 °F or lower based on the average of the test run
average temperatures. (For purposes of compliance, operation of a wet particulate matter
control device is presumed to meet the 400 °F or lower requirement);
B. Emissions of dioxins and furans shall not exceed 0.40 ng TEQ/dscm, corrected to 7
percent oxygen, for incinerators not equipped with either a waste heat boiler or dry air
pollution control system;
11
C. A source equipped with a wet air pollution control system followed by a dry air
pollution control system is not considered to be a dry air pollution control system, and a
source equipped with a dry air pollution control system followed by a wet air pollution
control system is considered to be a dry air pollution control system for purposes of this
standard;
(2) Mercury in excess of 130 micrograms/dscm, corrected to 7 percent oxygen;
(3) Cadmium and lead in excess of 230 micrograms/dscm, combined emissions, corrected to
7 percent oxygen;

emissions, corrected to 7 percent oxygen;
(5) For carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, either:
(i) Carbon monoxide in excess of 100 parts per million by volume, over an hourly rolling
average (monitored continuously with a continuous emissions monitoring system), dry
basis and corrected to 7 percent oxygen. If the permittee elects to comply with this carbon
monoxide standard rather than the hydrocarbon standard under paragraph (a)(5)(ii), the
permittee shall also document that, during the destruction and removal efficiency (DRE)
test runs or their equivalent as provided by 40 CFR 63.1206(b)(7), hydrocarbons do not
exceed 10 parts per million by volume during those runs, over an hourly rolling average
(monitored continuously with a continuous emissions monitoring system), dry basis,
corrected to 7 percent oxygen, and reported as propane; or
(ii) Hydrocarbons in excess of 10 parts per million by volume, over an hourly rolling average
(monitored continuously with a continuous emissions monitoring system), dry basis,
corrected to 7 percent oxygen, and reported as propane;
(6) Hydrogen chloride and chlorine gas (total chlorine) in excess of 32 parts per million by volume,
combined emissions, expressed as a chloride (Cl(-)) equivalent, dry basis and corrected to 7
percent oxygen; and
(7) Particulate matter in excess of 0.013 gr/dscf corrected to 7 percent oxygen.
12
(b) Destruction and removal efficiency standard (DRE)- (40 CFR §63.1219(c)).
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (b)(2), the permittee shall achieve a destruction and
removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.99% for each principle organic hazardous constituent
(POHC) designated under paragraph (b)(3). The permittee shall calculate DRE for each POHC
from the following equation:
DRE = [1 - (Wout / Win)] x 100%
Where:
Win = mass feedrate of one POHC in a waste feedstream; and
Wout = mass emission rate of the same POHC present in exhaust emissions prior
to release to the atmosphere.
(2) 99.9999% DRE. If you burn the dioxin-listed hazardous wastes F020, F021, F022, F023,
F026, or F027 (see 40 CFR §261.31), you must achieve a DRE of 99.9999% for each POHC that
you designate under paragraph (b)(3). You must demonstrate this DRE performance on POHCs
that are more difficult to incinerate than tetra-, penta-, and hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and
dibenzofurans. You must use the equation in paragraph (b)(1) to calculate DRE for each POHC.
In addition, you must notify the Administrator of your intent to incinerate hazardous wastes F020,
F021, F022, F023, F026, or F027.
(3) Principal organic hazardous constituent (POHC).
(i) You must treat each POHC in the waste feed that you specify under paragraph
(b)(3)(ii) to the extent required by paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2).
(ii) The permittee shall specify one or more POHCs that are representative of the most
difficult to destroy organic compounds in your hazardous waste feedstream. The
permittee shall base this specification on the degree of difficulty of incineration of the
organic constituents in the hazardous waste and on their concentration or mass in
the hazardous waste feed, considering the results of hazardous waste analyses or
other data and information.
(c) The permittee shall determiune significant figures according to 40 CFR 63.1219 (d).
(d) The permittee shall comply with the standards according to 40 CFR 63.1206(b).
(e) The permittee shall operate according to the requirerments in 40 CFR 63.1206 (c).

Hi Lonnie and Logan -
Thanks for the Semi Annual Periodic Startup, Shutdown, Malfunction and Six Month Monitoring reports, for the first part of
2024.
I did not catch this at time of the inspection, but it looks like the deviation notice regarding the May 6, 2024, deviation was
not submitted within 14 days of the deviation. I might have to send a Warning letter.
Thanks for revising the 2024 ACC report and sending me the Conformity test results. Looking forward to receiving them.
I'm currently looking into the gas leak and if it qualifies as a deviation.
Thank you for your cooperation.

At the time the flow meter deviation, I was in the middle of the CfPT and I could get away to complete the
report. The following week I submitted the report as shown in the attached email, the problem arose when it
when for signature. It took time to have the commander sign the letter and submit it to the state.

Good Morning Joe,
Yesterday afternoon we had a gas leak from one of the fittings on the afterburner fuel train on the new natural gas system
on the APE Deactivation Furnace. We have yet to encounter this type of situation and wanted to reach out and see if this
is something that we need to report as a deviation or what?

Hi Logan -
Still working on an answer to your question regarding the NG leak.
We may have discussed this when I was on-site. When was the Natural Gas System installed on the APE Deactivation
Furnace? I know it was recent, but I'm not sure of the date?

TEAD believe that by changing the furnace from fuel oil to natural gas meets the regulations
Under subpart EEE 63.1206(b)(5)(ii)
Changes that will not affect compliance. If you determine that a change will not adversely affect compliance with the
emission standards or operating requirements, you must document the change in the operating record upon making such
change. You must revise as necessary the performance test plan, Documentation of Compliance, Notification of
Compliance, and start-up, shutdown, and malfunction plan to reflect these changes.

Attached is a hour snap shot of January 21, 2025. If you look at the highlighted Hourly Totals lbs./hr. you can see it
increasing, which tells me the furnace was feeding. Then the highlighted CO show zero all the way down. Most of the
time this is typical, if we start seeing an increase then we tune our burners and corrects the issue.

Tooele Army Depot - TV Permit Modification Notice

Hi Tad -
Hope all is well.
I inspected the Tooele Army Depot on Jan 30th. At the time of the inspection I learned that a rotary kiln incinerator natural
gas system had been installed and started operations on Jan 6th. The DAQ received the permit modification notice on
Jan 22, 2025, regarding the new gas system. Scott Hanks informed me that you are currently working on an AO for the
permit modification. In the meantime, Tooele Army Depot reported that the new gas system had a leak on Feb 3rd. They
want to know if the leak qualifies as a permit deviation? How can the leak be a deviation if it is not yet permitted! What
is your take?
Thanks,

Joe,
TEAD North the incinerator is currently in the process of being updated for the conversion. You are correct to think that
the source cannot have a deviation if it is not in the permit. The source is out of compliance since they have installed and
operating the kiln on natural gas. Jacob Hurley is permitting this project and I have a feeling that it will get
expedited since it is considered a permit violation. I have included Jacob in this email so he is aware. I would be
interested in what we do compliance wise in this instance.
Thanks,
Tad
