SOURCE DESCRIPTION General Description
Broken Arrow Inc. operates a salt processing plant located near Grantsville in Tooele County. The process dries, screens, and loads salt harvested from the Great Salt Lake for shipment to customers. The plant produces up to 500,000 tons of salt annually. The company also dries liquid
magnesium chloride concentrate. The magnesium chloride concentrate is brought to the plant by the tanker trucks and dried by a new natural gas-fired burner. The plant processes up to 21 million gallons of magnesium chloride concentrate a year.

Modification to AO DAQE-AN130290006-23 to Add Emergency Generator Engines Project Description Broken Arrow has requested a modification to AO DAQE-AN130290006-23 to add two (2) new emergency generator engines. The diesel-fired generator engine is rated up to 1,474 hp (1,100 kW) and will support the salt drying operations during emergencies. The natural gas/propane fired generator engine is rated up to 201 hp (150 kW) and will provide power to the magnesium chloride drying operations during emergencies. Emissions from each of the emergency generator
engines are calculated based on 100 hours of operations per year, and are added to the sitewide totals. EMISSION IMPACT ANALYSIS The source is not required to model for any criteria pollutants and HAPs because the emission increases are below the modeling thresholds per R307-410-4 and R307-410-5. The DAQ conducted in-house modeling for
1-hr NO2 emissions. The modeling result shows that the predicted impact plus background NO2 concentration (176.3 μg/m3) is still less than the NAAQS (188 μg/m3) under the condition that the source shall not test the emergency generator engines at the same time. This condition has been incorporated into this AO. [Last updated August 12, 2024]

Review of BACT for New/Modified Emission Units 1. BACT review regarding the emergency generator engine The diesel-fired emergency generator engine rated up to 1,474 hp (1,100 kW) The engine will be an EPA certified Tier 4 engine. The source shall burn diesel fuel with ultra-low sulfur content at 15 ppm or lower. Visible emissions from the engine are limited at 20% opacity.
The minor NSR Section considers these limitations as BACT. The natural gas/propane fired emergency generator engine rated at 201 hp (150 kW)
The emissions from this engine are very small, with NOx being the most at 0.29 tpy. All other emissions are less than 0.02 tpy. It is, therefore, economically infeasible to install any add-on
controls. The engine will be subject to the standards in Table 1 to NSPS Subpart JJJJ as follows: NOx = 2.0 g/hp-hr, CO = 4.0 g/hp-hr, and VOC = 1.0 g/hp-hr.
Visible emissions from the engine are limited at 10% opacity. The minor NSR Section considers these limitations as BACT. [Last updated November 12, 2024]

REVIEWER COMMENTS
1. Comment regarding emission estimates for the emergency generator engines: The diesel-fired emergency generator engine rated up to 1,474 hp (1,100 kW) The emissions are calculated based on 100 hours per year of operations. The emissions factors used in the calculations include Tier 4 standards for NOx, PM2.5 and PM10, and VOCs. Other emission factors are from AP-42 Chapter 3.4. The natural gas/propane fired emergency generator engine rated at 201 hp (150 kW) The emissions are calculated based on 100 hours per year of operations. The emission factors are from AP-42 Chapter 3.2. [Last updated August 12, 2024]
2. Comment regarding NSPS and MACT Applicability: 40 CFR 60 (NSPS) Subpart OOO applies to nonmetallic mineral processing plants. Sodium Chloride (salt) is defined as a nonmetallic mineral in 60.671, however this site does not crush or grind minerals. Therefore, Subpart OOO does not apply to this source. 40 CFR 60 (NSPS) Subpart Dc applies to facilities that operate steam generating units for which construction, modification, or reconstruction commenced after June 9, 1989 and that has a maximum heat input capacity of 100 MMBTU/h or less, but greater than or equal to 10 MMBTU/h. This source operated two natural gas-fired dryers rated between 10 and 100 MMBtu/hr. However, these dryers do not meet the definition of "steam generating unit" as defined in 60.41c; therefore, Subpart
Dc does not apply to this source. 40 CFR 60 (NSPS) Subpart IIII applies to the 1,474-hp (1,100-kW) diesel-fired engine.
40 CFR 60 (NSPS) Subpart JJJJ applies to the 201-hp (150-kW) natural gas/propane fired engine.
40 CFR 63 (MACT) Subpart BBBBBBB applies to owners and operators of chemical preparation
facilities. This source only processes salt which is not a "target-HAP'' as defined in 63.11588; therefore, Subpart BBBBBBB does not apply to this source. 40 CFR 63 (MACT) Subpart ZZZZ applies to the emergency generator engines. [Last updated August 12, 2024] 3. Comment regarding Title V applicability: Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act (Title V) applies to the following:
1. Any major source 2. Any source subject to a standard, limitation, or other requirement under Section 111 of the Act,
Engineer Review N130290007: Broken Arrow Inc. - Broken Arrow Flux Operations November 12, 2024 Page 13
Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources; 3. Any source subject to a standard or other requirement under Section 112 of the Act, Hazardous
Air Pollutants. 4. Any Title IV affected source. This source is not a major source, or a Title IV affected source. NSPS Subparts IIII and JJJJ, and MACT Subpart ZZZZ specifically exempt the source from the obligation to obtain a Title V
Operating Permit if the source is not required for the permit for a reason other than being subject to the standards. There are no other reasons why this source would be required to obtain a Title V permit; therefore, Title V does not apply to this facility as per R307-415-4(2)(c). [Last updated August 12, 2024]

SUBJECT: Modeling Analysis Review for the Notice of Intent for Broken Arrow Inc. – Salt
Processing Plant, Tooele County, Utah
_____________________________________________________________________________________
This is not a Major Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Source.
I. OBJECTIVE
Broken Arrow (Applicant) is seeking an approval order for their Salt Processing Plant located in
Tooele County, Utah. The process dries, screens, and loads salt harvested from the Great Salt Lake
for shipment to customers. The plant produces up to 500,000 tons of sodium chloride salt annually.
The company also dries liquid magnesium chloride concentrate. The magnesium chloride
concentrate is brought in to the plant by the tanker trucks and dried by a new natural gas-fired
burner. The plant shall process up to 21 million gallons of magnesium chloride concentrate a year.
Broken Arrow has requested a modification to AO DAQE-AN130290006-23 to add two (2) new
emergency generator engines. The diesel-fired generator engine is rated up to 1,100 kW and will
support the salt drying operations during emergencies. The natural gas/propane fired generator
engine is rated up to 150 kW and will provide power to the magnesium chloride drying operations
during emergencies.
This report, prepared by the Staff of the New Source Review Section (NSR), contains a review of
the air quality impact analysis (AQIA) including the information, data, assumptions and modeling
results used to determine if the facility would be in compliance with State and Federal
concentration standards.

It was determined the Plant boundary used in the AQIA meets the State’s definition of
ambient air.
4. Building Downwash
The source was modeled with the AERMOD model. All structures at the plant were used in
the model to account for their influence on downwash.
5. Meteorology
Five (5) years of off-site surface and upper air data were used in the analysis consisting of
the following:
Surface – Salt Lake Airport, UT NWS: 2016-2020
Upper Air – Salt Lake Airport, UT NWS: 2016-2020
6. Background
The background concentrations were based on concentrations measured in Erda, Utah.
7. Receptor and Terrain Elevations
DAQE-MN130290007-24
Page 3
The modeling domain used consisted of receptors including property boundary receptors.
This area of the state contains mountainous terrain and the modeling domain has simple and
complex terrain features in the near and far fields. Therefore, receptor points representing
actual terrain elevations from the area were used in the analysis.
8. Model and Options
The State-accepted AERMOD model was used to predict air pollutant concentrations under a simple/complex terrain/wake effect situation. In quantifying concentrations, the
regulatory default option was selected.
