Page 10
II.B.2.c Emission of NOx to the atmosphere from the cupola bag house shall not exceed 52 tons per rolling 12 months. By the twentieth day of each month, a new 12-month total shall be calculated using data from the previous 12 months based on the following equation. Total NOx = (SUHR * SUEF) + (SSHR * SSEF) + (SDHR * SDEF) Where: SUHR = hours of startup operation during the most recent 12 months SUEF = emission factor for startup operating phase (2.21 lb/hr) SSHR = hours of steady-state operation during the most recent 12 months SSEF = emission factor for steady-state operating phase. The emission factor shall be set using the most recent stack test. SDHR = hours of shutdown operation during the most recent 12 months. SDEF = emission factor for shutdown operation phase (21.2 lbs/hr) For purposes of this condition, startup, steady-state, and shutdown operating phases shall be monitored and recorded to the nearest tenth of an hour and shall have the following meanings: Startup operating phase means the time period commencing when blast air (that is, high-temperature air applied to initiate burning) is first put to the coke bed and ending with first iron (that is, the time that molten iron is first seen through the tuyeres). Steady-state operating phase means the time period commencing with the first iron and ending when the cupola cap is lowered. Shutdown operating phase means the time period commencing when the cupola cap is lowered and ending when the last iron is taken from the cupola. [R307-401-8]

II.B.2.d.1 To demonstrate compliance with the SO2 emission limit, the owner/operator shall conduct emission testing once every two years. The Director may require the owner/operator to perform an emission test at any time. All stack testing shall be performed as outlined in Section II.B.3. [R307-165-2, R307-401-8]
DAQE-AN107940040-25
Page 11
II.B.2.e Emission of SO2 to the atmosphere from the cupola baghouse shall not exceed 35.58 tons per rolling 12 months. By the twentieth day of each month, a new 12-month total shall be calculated using data from the previous 12 months based on the following equation. Total SO2 = (SUHR * SUEF) + (SSHR * SSEF) + (SDHR * SDEF) Where: SUHR = hours of start-up operation during the most recent 12 months SUEF = emission factor for start-up operating phase (2.5 lb/hr) SSHR = hours of steady-state operation during the most recent 12months SSEF = emission factor for steady-state operating phase. The emission factor shall be set using the most recent stack test. SDHR = hours of shutdown operation during the most recent 12 months SDEF = emission factor for shutdown operation phase (50 lb/hr) For purposes of this condition, start-up, steady-state, and shutdown operating phases shall be monitored and recorded to the nearest tenth of an hour and shall have the following meanings: Start-up operating phase means the time period commencing when blast air (that is, high-temperature air applied to initiate burning) is first put to the coke bed and ending with "first iron" (that is, the time that molten iron is first seen through the tuyeres). Steady-state operating phase means the time period commencing with the first iron and ending when the cupola cap is lowered. Shutdown operating phase means the time period commencing when the cupola cap is lowered and ending when the last iron is taken from the cupola. [R307-401-8] II.B.3 Emission Testing and Monitoring Requirements

SUEF = emission factor for startup operating phase (2.21 lb/hr)
SSHR = hours of steady-state operation during the most recent 12-months
SSEF = emission factor for steady-state operating phase. The emission factor shall be set using the most recent stack test.
SDHR = hours of shutdown operation during the most recent 12 months.
SDEF = emission factor for shutdown operation phase (21.2 lbs/hr)
For purposes of this condition startup, steady-state and shutdown operating phases shall be monitored and recorded to the nearest tenth of an hour and shall have the following meanings:
Startup operating phase means the time period commencing when blast air (that is, high
temperature air applied to initiate burning) is first put to the coke bed and ending with first iron (that is, the time that molten iron is first seen through the tuyeres). Steady-state operating phase means the time period commencing with the first iron and ending when the cupola cap is lowered. Shutdown operating phase means the time period commencing when the cupola cap is lowered and ending when the last iron is taken from the cupola. [R307-401-8]

II.B.2.e Emission of SO2 to the atmosphere from the cupola bag house shall not exceed 35.58 tons per rolling 12- months. By the 20th day of each month, a new 12-month total shall be calculated using data from the previous 12 months based on the following equation. Total SO2 = (SUHR * SUEF) + (SSHR * SSEF) + (SDHR * SDEF) Where: SUHR = hours of start-up operation during the most recent 12 months SUEF = emission factor for start-up operating phase (2.5 lb/hr) SSHR = hours of steady-state operation during the most recent 12-months SSEF = emission factor for steady-state operating phase. The emission factor shall be set
using the most recent stack test. SDHR = hours of shutdown operation during the most recent 12 months SDEF = emission factor for shutdown operation phase (50 lb/hr) For purposes of this condition, start-up, steady-state and shutdown operating phases shall be monitored and recorded to the nearest tenth of an hour and shall have the following meanings:
Start-up operating phase means the time period commencing when blast air (that is, high
temperature air applied to initiate burning) is first put to the coke bed and ending with "first iron" (that is, the time that molten iron is first seen through the tuyeres). Steady-state operating phase means the time period commencing with the first iron and ending
when the cupola cap is lowered. Shutdown operating phase means the time period commencing when the cupola cap is lowered and ending when the last iron is taken from the cupola. [R307-401-8]

RE: Notification for Cast Machine Replacement
Dear Mr. Bird:
This letter is to notify you of McWane Ductile – Utah’s (MDU) intent to replace an existing cast
machine with a new cast machine. The new machine is designed to produce cast products at about
seventeen percent (17%) more than the existing equipment.
Review of the last ten (10) years of iron production revealed that the years 2017 and 2018 had the
highest average iron production – 86,200 tons per year. Current market conditions indicate that an
iron production of 60,000 ton per year with an optimistic 3% annual increase would be a realistic
iron production approach. The difference in iron production is a drop of 26,200 tons per year, as a
result, the expected criteria emissions would also decrease, and the difference fall into the negative
zone with no significant increase. This comparison is shown below in Table I.

MDU operates five (5) cast machines and operates them according to market demand. To determine
the impact of the proposed machine replacement, a review of the cast production output was also
conducted for the specific machine. A similar, ten-year review was conducted, and it was discovered
that the machine being replaced had a maximum production or utilization year in 2021 with just
over 19,440 tons. Emissions were calculated for this machine for 2021 and then with the projected
seventeen percent increase to see the difference in emissions from increased utilization of this
specific equipment. This comparison is viewed in Table II

The increase in emissions is extremely small for the single unit, less than five-hundred pounds. An
attachment is provided with full notes.
After a discussion with Mr. John Jenks in your division, MDU believes the best fit for this permit
change is under R307-401-11, Replacement-in-Kind Equipment. In lieu of filing a specific notice of
intent (NOI), MDU is providing the following information as outlined in R307-401-11.1.
(a) The new cast machine has the capability of producing the seventeen percent more casted product as
the existing machine being replaced. However, total iron produced for any given day is distributed
up to four other cast machines according to market demand and is currently allowed in the NSR and
Title V permits.
(b) The number of emission units will not change. A single cast machine will be replaced with a single
cast machine.
(c) No additional air contaminants are emitted as the single and overall process remains the same.
(d) The cast machine is functionally equivalent to the existing cast machine it is replacing.
(e) The replacement does not change the fundamental design parameters of the casting process and
has no impact on the pollution control equipment.
(f) The new machine will physically replace the existing machine, and the existing machine will be sent
for scrap.
(g) The replacement does not trigger NSPS or NESHAPs.
(h) The replacement equipment does not violate any other provision of Title R307.
We note that no changes to either the current AO or Title V permits are requested or required. The
facility’s Approval Order makes reference to “casting operations” (reference Condition II.A.7) and
the facility’s Title V permit lists “casting operations” (reference Condition II.A.15). Neither specifies
a condition other than those applying to facility-wide.

RE: REVISED Notification for Cast Machine Replacement
Dear Mr. Bird:

McWane Ductile -Utah (MDU) believes clarification is needed regarding the cast machine replacement
notification letter dated October 21, 2024. After discussion with Jacob Hurley in your division, MDU
recognizes that the October 21, 2024, letter included data that pertained to a subset of the permitted
emissions unit.
MDU operates up to a total of five (5) cast machines on any given day casting ductile products, pipes and
utility pole sections. All five cast machines together are considered as a single emissions unit and emissions
analysis for emissions increases should be completed across the emissions unit (all cast machines, see
Table I) and not by an individual machine (Table II was for an individual machine).
In the interest of clarity, the notification dated October 21, 2024, is revised as follows to reflect the proposed
changes to the emission unit only.
MDU intends to replace a single cast machine with a new machine. The new machine is functionally equivalent to
the existing machine. After a discussion with Mr. John Jenks in your division, MDU believes the best fit for this
permit change is under R307-401-11, Replacement-in-Kind Equipment. As detailed below, this replacement
satisfies the replacement-in-kind equipment criteria outlined in R307-401-11, and a notice of intent (NOi) and
approval order is therefore not required. In lieu of filing an NOi and accordance with the Replacement-in-Kind
procedures, MDU is providing the following information as outlined in R307-401-11.l.
(a) The casting emissions unit (5 cast machines) with the replacement machine has the capability of
producing the same amount of product as the existing casting unit with the old machine.
(b) The number of casting machines within the permitted emission unit will not change. A single cast
machine will be replaced with a single cast machine.
(c) No additional air contaminants are emitted from the casting emission unit as the single and overall
process remains the same.
(d) The cast machine is functionally equivalent to the existing cast machine it is replacing.
(e) The replacement does not change the fundamental design parameters of the casting process and has no
impact on the pollution control equipment.
(f) The new machine will physically replace the existing machine, and the existing machine will be sent for
scrap.
(g) The replacement does not trigger NSPS or NESHAPs.
(h) The replacement equipment does not violate any other provision of Title R307.

The table below provides the emissions changes from the casting emission unit with future production. A review
of the last ten (10) years of iron production revealed that the years 2017 and 2018 had the highest average iron
production -86,200 tons per year. Current market conditions indicate that an iron production of 60,000 ton per
year with an optimistic 3% annual increase would be a realistic iron production approach. The difference in iron
production is a drop of 26,200 tons per year, as a result, the expected criteria emissions would also decrease, and
the difference fall into the negative zone with no significant increase.
