Project Description
P&G has requested to add a sodium bisulfate tank. The additional 6,300-gallon sodium bisulfite tank is
necessary in its Assembled Paper Products B operations, and it is recognized that a minor amount of SO2
emissions result from the breathing and filling of the tank.
The original NOI that was submitted to Utah Division of Air Quality had a sodium bisulfate tank size of
4,000 gallons, but additional information was submitted on September 11, 2024, requesting the size to be
increased to 6,300 gallons.

Project Description
P&G has requested to add a sodium bisulfate tank. The additional 6,300-gallon sodium bisulfite tank is
necessary in its Assembled Paper Products B operations, and it is recognized that a minor amount of SO2
emissions result from the breathing and filling of the tank.
The original NOI that was submitted to UDAQ had a sodium bisulfate tank size of 4,000 gallons, but
additional information was submitted on September 11, 2024, requesting the size to be increased to 6,300
gallons.

Project Proposal
Minor Modification to Approval Order DAQE-AN141070018-24, for the Addition of a Storage
Tank
Project Description
P&G has requested to add a sodium bisulfate tank. The additional 4,000-gallon Sodium Bisulfite
tank is necessary in its Assembled Paper Products B operations, and it has recognized that a
minor amount of SO2 emissions result from the breathing and filling of the tank.
EMISSION IMPACT ANALYSIS
The emission rate for SO2 (0.041 tons per year) does not trigger modeling under R307-410-4. There are no
HAP emissions from these operations, so no modeling is required under R307-410-5. [Last updated July 30,

Review of BACT for New/Modified Emission Units
1.BACT review regarding BACT/LAER
This project is not subject to UAC R307-403-3(3)a, since the source is major for PM2.5 in an PM2.5
nonattainment area but the project increase is for SO2 so LAER is not required.
Emissions from the sodium bisulfite tanks are 0.041 tons per year of SO2. The emissions from the
tank come from both breathing and working loss from the tank operations. A BACT analysis was
submitted for the addition of the tank which included flue gas desulfurization by scrubbing and
good operating practices.
Flue gas desulfurization by scrubbing is typically used on large combustion units with constant
concentrations and is not designed for the low and intermittent flow from small tanks. Based on
available BACT resources, this technology has not been established as technically feasible for this
application and is therefore not considered further.
BACT to control the 0.041 tons per year of SO2 is good operating practice.
[Last updated July 30, 2024]

REVIEWER COMMENTS
1.Comment regarding Emission Estimates:
Emissions from the sodium bisulfite tank are estimated using equations from the Environmental
Protection Agency's, Air Emissions Inventory Improvement Program, Technical Report Series,
Volume II3. Section 2.2.4 of Chapter 16 states that the two significant types of losses from storage
tanks are breathing loss and working loss. Breathing loss is "the expulsion of vapor from a tank
through vapor expansion and contraction that result from changes in ambient temperature and
barometric pressure." Working loss is defined as "the combined loss from filling and emptying
tanks.". The tank is estimated to be filled 26 times per year with a throughput of 10, 400 gallons per
year. [Last updated July 30, 2024]
2.Comment regarding Netting Analysis:
The P&G, Box Elder Facility is an existing major source for nonattainment (PM2.5) new source
review. To determine project is classified as a major modification, the project must result in a
significant emissions increase, and a significant net emissions increase (40 CFR 51.165(a)(1)(v)(A)).
The addition of the storage tank has a 0.041 tons per year increase of SO2 which does not does not
result in a significant net emissions increase because the net emissions increase from both projects is
less than significant emissions rates (40 tons per year). [Last updated July 30, 2024]
3.Comment regarding Project Classification:
Box Elder County is in attainment for CO, NO2, PM10, SO2, Ozone, and Lead. The major source
threshold for PSD is 250 tons per year per pollutant. The Box Elder Facility site-wide emissions per
pollutants in attainment are less than 250 tons per year. The Box Elder Plant and the proposed
modification is not subject to the PSD program.
The P&G, Box Elder facility is an existing major source for nonattainment (PM2.5) new source
review. If a major source undergoes a modification which requires a physical change or change in
operation, the facility must determine whether the project will be considered a major modification.
To determine project is classified as a major modification, the project must result in a significant
emissions increase, and a significant net emissions increase. This project has a SO2 emissions
increase of 0.041 tons per year which is below the 40 tons per year of SO2 threshold limit for
significant. This project is classified as a minor modification at a major source.
[Last updated July 30, 2024]
5.Comment regarding Offsets:
This project is not classified as a major modification in a nonattainment area for PM2.5 and is not
subject to UAC R307-403-3(3) c and d. No offsets are required for this permit modification. [Last
updated July 30, 2024]

7.Comment regarding PM2.5 SIP Source:
The Box Elder Facility is a listed major source with conditions in Part H.12.n of the PM2.5 Serious
Nonattainment SIP. The PM2.5 Serious Nonattainment SIP has been approved by the Air Quality
Board, but has not been approved by Region 8 EPA. The PM2.5 Serious Nonattainment SIP
conditions have been incorporated into the current AO. Once the AO has been signed by the director
appropriate actions will be conducted to fulfil state obligations for this modification. [Last updated

This project is not subject to UAC R307-403-3(3)a, since the source is major for PM2.5 in an PM2.5
nonattainment area but the project increase is for SO2 so LAER is not required.
Emissions from the sodium bisulfite tanks are 0.041 tons per year of SO2. The emissions from the tank
come from both breathing and working loss from the tank operations. A BACT analysis was submitted
for the addition of the tank which included flue gas desulfurization by scrubbing and good operating
practices.
Flue gas desulfurization by scrubbing is typically used on large combustion units with constant
concentrations and is not designed for the low and intermittent flow from small tanks. Based on
available BACT resources, this technology has not been established as technically feasible for this
application and is therefore not considered further.
BACT to control the 0.041 tons per year of SO2 is good operating practice.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXModeling
The emission rate for SO2 (0.041 tons per year) does not trigger modeling under R307-410-4. There are
no HAP emissions from these operations, so no modeling is required under R307-410-5.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXComments
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Emission Estimates
Emissions from the sodium bisulfite tank are estimated using equations from the Environmental
Protection Agency’s, Air Emissions Inventory Improvement Program, Technical Report Series, Volume
II3. Section 2.2.4 of Chapter 16 states that the two significant types of losses from storage tanks are
breathing loss and working loss. Breathing loss is “the expulsion of vapor from a tank through vapor
expansion and contraction that result from changes in ambient temperature and barometric pressure.”
Working loss is defined as “the combined loss from filling and emptying tanks.”. The tank is estimated
to be filled 26 times per year with a throughput of 10, 400 gallons per year.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Permit Updates
With the addition of the sodium bisulfite tank, a throughput limit of sodium bisulfite has been included
to the permit to control the SO2 emissions.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Netting Analysis
The P&G, Box Elder Facility is an existing major source for nonattainment (PM2.5) new source review.
To determine project is classified as a major modification, the project must result in a significant
emissions increase, and a significant net emissions increase (40 CFR 51.165(a)(1)(v)(A)). The addition of
the storage tank has a 0.041 tons per year increase of SO2 which does not does not result in a
significant net emissions increase because the net emissions increase from both projects is less than
significant emissions rates (40 tons per year).
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Project Classification
Box Elder County is in attainment for CO, NO2, PM10, SO2, Ozone, and Lead. The major source threshold
for PSD is 250 tons per year per pollutant. The Box Elder Facility site-wide emissions per pollutants in
attainment are less than 250 tons per year. The Box Elder Plant and the proposed modification is not
subject to the PSD program.
The P&G, Box Elder facility is an existing major source for nonattainment (PM2.5) new source review. If
a major source undergoes a modification which requires a physical change or change in operation, the
facility must determine whether the project will be considered a major modification. To determine
project is classified as a major modification, the project must result in a significant emissions increase,
and a significant net emissions increase. This project has a SO2 emissions increase of 0.041 tons per
year which is below the 40 tons per year of SO2 threshold limit for significant. This project is classified
as a minor modification at a major source.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Offsets
This project is not classified as a major modification in a nonattainment area for PM2.5 and is not
subject to UAC R307-403-3(3) c and d. No offsets are required for this permit modification.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
PM2.5 SIP Source
The Box Elder Facility is a listed major source with conditions in Part H.12.n of the PM2.5 Serious
Nonattainment SIP. The PM2.5 Serious Nonattainment SIP has been approved by the Air Quality Board,
but has not been approved by Region 8 EPA. The PM2.5 Serious Nonattainment SIP conditions have
been incorporated into the current AO. Once the AO has been signed by the director the appropriate
actions will be conducted to fulfil state obligations for this modification.

Project Proposal
Minor Modification to Approval Order DAQE-AN141070018-24, for the Addition of a Storage
Tank
Project Description
P&G has requested to add a sodium bisulfate tank. The additional 4,000-gallon Sodium Bisulfite
tank is necessary in its Assembled Paper Products B operations, and P&G has recognized that a
minor amount of SO2 emissions result from the breathing and filling of the tank.
EMISSION IMPACT ANALYSIS
The emission rate for SO2 (0.041 tons per year) does not trigger modeling under R307-410-4. There are no
HAP emissions from these operations, so no modeling is required under R307-410-5. [Last updated July 30,
2024]

Review of BACT for New/Modified Emission Units
1.BACT review regarding BACT/LAER
This project is not subject to UAC R307-403-3(3)a, since the source is major for PM2.5 in an PM2.5
nonattainment area but the project increase is for SO2 so LAER is not required.
Emissions from the sodium bisulfite tanks are 0.041 tons per year of SO2. The emissions from the
tank come from both breathing and working loss from the tank operations. A BACT analysis was
submitted for the addition of the tank which included flue gas desulfurization by scrubbing and
good operating practices.
Flue gas desulfurization by scrubbing is typically used on large combustion units with constant
concentrations and is not designed for the low and intermittent flow from small tanks. Based on
available BACT resources, this technology has not been established as technically feasible for this
application and is therefore not considered further.
BACT to control the 0.041 tons per year of SO2 is good operating practice.
[Last updated July 30, 2024]

PERMIT HISTORY
When issued, the approval order shall supersede (if a modification) or will be based on the
following documents:
Is Derived From NOI dated April 26, 2024
Supersedes DAQE-AN141070018-23 dated November 16, 2023
REVIEWER COMMENTS
1.Comment regarding Emission Estimates:
Emissions from the sodium bisulfite tank are estimated using equations from the Environmental
Protection Agency's, Air Emissions Inventory Improvement Program, Technical Report Series,
Volume II3. Section 2.2.4 of Chapter 16 states that the two significant types of losses from storage
tanks are breathing loss and working loss. Breathing loss is "the expulsion of vapor from a tank
through vapor expansion and contraction that result from changes in ambient temperature and
barometric pressure." Working loss is defined as "the combined loss from filling and emptying
tanks." The tank is estimated to be filled 26 times per year with a throughput of 163,800 gallons per
year. [Last updated July 30, 2024]
2.Comment regarding Netting Analysis:
The P&G, Box Elder Facility is an existing major source for nonattainment (PM2.5) new source
review. To determine if the project is classified as a major modification, the project must result in a
significant emissions increase, and a significant net emissions increase (40 CFR 51.165(a)(1)(v)(A)).
The addition of the storage tank has a 0.041 tons per year increase of SO2 which does not does not
result in a significant net emissions increase because the net emissions increase from both projects is
less than significant emissions rates (40 tons per year). [Last updated July 30, 2024]
3.Comment regarding Project Classification:
Box Elder County is in attainment for CO, NO2, PM10, SO2, Ozone, and Lead. The major source
threshold for PSD is 250 tons per year per pollutant. The Box Elder Facility site-wide emissions per
pollutants in attainment are less than 250 tons per year. The Box Elder Plant and the proposed
modification is not subject to the PSD program.
The P&G, Box Elder facility is an existing major source for nonattainment (PM2.5) new source
review. If a major source undergoes a modification which requires a physical change or change in
operation, the facility must determine whether the project will be considered a major modification.
To determine project is classified as a major modification, the project must result in a significant
emissions increase, and a significant net emissions increase. This project has a SO2 emissions
increase of 0.041 tons per year which is below the 40 tons per year of SO2 threshold limit for
significant. This project is classified as a minor modification at a major source.
[Last updated July 30, 2024]
5.Comment regarding Offsets:
This project is not classified as a major modification in a nonattainment area for PM2.5 and is not
subject to UAC R307-403-3(3) c and d. No offsets are required for this permit modification. [Last
updated July 30, 2024]
Engineer Review N141070020: The Procter & Gamble Paper Products Company

Page 17
7.Comment regarding PM2.5 SIP Source:
The Box Elder Facility is a listed major source with conditions in Part H.12.n of the PM2.5 Serious
Nonattainment SIP. The PM2.5 Serious Nonattainment SIP has been approved by the Air Quality
Board, but has not been approved by Region 8 EPA. The PM2.5 Serious Nonattainment SIP
conditions have been incorporated into the current AO. Once the AO has been signed by the director
appropriate actions will be conducted to fulfil state obligations for this modification. [Last updated

1. INTRODUCTION
The Procter and Gamble Paper Products Company (P&G) operates a paper products manufacturing plant in
Box Elder, Utah (i.e., Box Elder Plant). Box Elder County is currently classified as an attainment area for all
criteria pollutants with the exception of particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5). As a
result, the Utah Division of Air Quality (UDAQ) closely monitors permitting of new emissions of PM2.5 as well
as its precursors: sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), ammonia, and VOCs. Particularly from sources
classified as major sources of air quality emissions, such as the Box Elder Plant. Currently, the facility is
permitted in accordance with Approval Order No. DAQE-AN141070018-23 and Title V operating permit
300053003.
The Box Elder Plant has determined that an additional 4,000-gallon Sodium Bisulfite tank is necessary in its
Assembled Paper Products B operations, and it has recognized that a minor amount of SO2 emissions result
from the breathing and filling of the tank. P&G is requesting that this source be permitted to ensure the
permit contains a complete list of equipment and is easy for an inspector to review. This NOI defines the
tank operations and the character of those emissions requiring an increase to the Box Elder Facility’s PTE.
This NOI air quality application is being submitted in accordance with the Utah Division of Air Quality
(UDAQ) rules, Utah Administrative Code (UAC) R307-401, and includes the following supporting
documentation required to modify DAQE-AN141070018-23 and obtain authorization for the changes

2.2 Source Information and General Location
P&G operates a paper product manufacturing plant in Box Elder County which is a nonattainment area for
PM2.5. The plant is comprised of three primary business units manufacturing consumer products for Paper
Making, Assembled Paper Products A and Assembled Paper Products B. Support equipment includes storage
tanks, emergency generators, boilers and cooling towers.
2.3 Source Size Determination
The proposed site-wide potential emissions are summarized in Table 6-1; this table contains the information
required in UDAQ Form 1a. As presented in the previous section, site-wide emissions are greater than the
major source threshold (MST) for PM2.5, NOx, and VOCs. As such, P&G is classified as a Major Source. The
proposed addition of the Sodium Bisulfite tank with submittal of this Abbreviated NOI air permit will be a
minor modification to an existing major source under New Source Review (NSR).

3. DESCRIPTION OF PROCESS AND PROJECT CHANGE
3.1 Description of Project
The Box Elder Plant is seeking to add an additional 4,000-gallon Sodium Bisulfite tank to its Assembled
Paper Products B operations.
3.2 Description of Process
Water removed through mechanical dewatering on the FAM product is pretreated prior to disposal with the
local Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW). Specifically, sodium bisulfite is added to the wastewater to
dechlorinate the water through the following chemical reaction:
+++
A small amount of SO2 emissions will be generated from the storage and use of sodium bisulfite in this
process. To be consistent with the submitted NOI, P&G has assumed that all breathing and working losses
from the proposed 4,000-gallon bisulfite tanks are pure SO2.
3.3 Consideration of Contemporaneous Period
The Box Elder Plant had a major modification approved by UDAQ for the permitting of paper machine 16B
on November 16, 2023. The addition of a sodium bisulfite tank is anticipated to be installed during the
contemporaneous period for the major modification (i.e., within 5 years of regular operation). , as a result,
the SO2 emissions associated with the one (1) 4,000-gallon sodium bisulfite tank will need to be considered
in the net emissions increase of the Actual to Projected Actuals (ATPAs) calculated from the baseline
established for the major modification.1 The net emissions increase has been demonstrated in Table 3-2
and P&G has determined that the inclusion of the sodium bisulfite tank project does not result in a
significant net emissions increase because the net emissions increase from both projects is less than
significant emissions rates (SERs).2 As a result, this application represents a minor modification to the Box
Elder Plant applicable to UDAQ’s minor New Source Review (NSR) program.

4. EMISSIONS RELATED INFORMATION
P&G is proposing to install one (1) 4,000 gallon sodium bisulfite tank. It is assumed that this tank
exclusively emits SO2.
4.1 Sodium Bisulfite Tanks
Emissions from the sodium bisulfite tanks are estimated using equations from the Environmental Protection
Agency’s (EPA) Air Emissions Inventory Improvement Program (EIIP) Technical Report Series, Volume II3.
Section 2.2.4 of Chapter 16 states that the two significant types of losses from storage tanks are breathing
loss and working loss. Breathing loss is “the expulsion of vapor from a tank through vapor expansion and
contraction that result from changes in ambient temperature and barometric pressure.” Working loss is
defined as “the combined loss from filling and emptying tanks.” Thus, the emissions from the tanks can be
defined as the following:
=+
Where:
ET = Total emissions (tpy)
Eb = Breathing emissions (tpy)
EW = working emissions (tpy)
4.1.1 Breathing Emissions
Breathing emissions from evaporation are calculated using the vaporization rate of a volatile liquid from an
open vessel provided by EIIP Vol. II Chapter 16 equation 3-24. The equation has been modified to adjust
units to tpy.
=× 8,760 × 1
2000
Where:
E = evaporation losses (tpy)
M = molecular weight of the volatile substance
K = mass transfer coefficient
A = area of the evaporation surface area (ft )
P = saturated solvent vapor pressure (psia)
R = ideal gas constant .
T = absolute temperature of the liquid (°R)
The mass transfer coefficient is calculated using EIIP Vol. II Chapter 16 equation 3-27.
K = K × M

K = mass transfer coefficient
K = mass transfer coefficient of water
M = molecular weight of water
M = molecular weight of solvent
4.1.2 Working Loss
Working losses in the tank are caused by the displacement of gases inside the tank during filling. The
following equation is used to calculate emissions with the modification of converting to tpy.
E =Being Purged per Fill × 26 × 1

5. BEST AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES (BACT)
In the State of Utah, under R307-401-5(2)(d), Notice of Intent, every facility, operation, or process that
proposes any activity that would emit an air contaminant into the air, must consider BACT for a proposed
new source or modification.4 The below BACT analysis only addresses units which will be modified, installed,
or otherwise addressed in this NOI.
The UDAQ NOI Guide details the requirement to achieve BACT as required in the State of Utah permitting
process. The proposed BACT must be based on the most effective engineering techniques and control
equipment to minimize emission of air contaminants into the outside environment from its process.
5.1 SO2 Emissions from Sodium Bisulfite Tank
Emissions from the sodium bisulfite tanks are minimal, less than 0.05 tpy. The emissions from the tank
come from both breathing and working loss and are vented to the atmosphere.
5.1.1 SO2 Emissions Step 1 & 2 – Identify All Control Technologies and Eliminate
Technically Infeasible Options
SO2 control technologies were identified based on research and extensive historic knowledge of common
control technologies used in similar manufacturing industries. The RBLC database was searched to identify
comparable sources, however, due to such small emissions there were no comparable sources.
In addition to a review of the RBLC, P&G also reviewed BACT statements issued via the following air quality
agencies:
TCEQ; and
BAAQMD.
P&G also researched the EPA Air Pollution Technology Fact Sheets.
After accounting for the physical and operational characteristics of the sodium bisulfite tank, the control
technologies considered in this BACT analysis for controlling SO2 emissions include the following:
Flue Gas Desulfurization by Scrubbing
Good Operating Practices
Flue Gas Desulfurization by Scrubbing
The Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) scrubbing process typically uses a calcium or sodium based alkaline
reagent. The reagent is injected into an emissions stream in a spray tower or directly into the duct. The SO2
is absorbed, neutralized, and/or oxidized by the alkaline reagent into a solid compound which is then
removed
from the waste gas stream using downstream equipment. The typical collection efficiency range is from
50% to greater than 98%.5

5 EPA, Air Pollution Control Technology Fact Sheet – Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) – Wet, Spray Dry, and Dry Scrubbers.
EPA-452/F-03-034
Procter and Gamble Paper Products Company | Notice of Intent
Trinity Consultants 5-2
FGD is typically used on large combustion units and is not designed for the low and intermittent flow from
small tanks. Based on available BACT resources, this technology has not been established as technically
feasible for this application and is therefore not considered further.
Good Operating Practices
Good Operating Practices includes proper equipment design and proper loading of the tanks during filling.
These will minimize emissions from spills.
5.1.2 SO2 Emissions Step 3-5 – Rank Remaining Control Technologies by Control
Effectiveness, Economic, Environmental, and Energy Impacts of Control
Technologies, and Select BACT
Good Operating Practices is the only remaining control and as such is considered BACT for SO2 emissions
from the sodium bisulfite tank. Good Operating Practices will be followed at P&G.

6. EMISSION IMPACT ANALYSIS
As shown in Table 6-1, and in the emission calculations in Appendix B, the proposed site-wide emission
change with the addition of the sodium bisulfite at the Box Elder plant results in a 0.041 tpy increase of SO2.
There are no other changes to site wide emissions proposed with this NOI. Because this is not a significant
increase, the UDAQ modeling thresholds contained in UAC R307-410-4 do not apply, and no criteria
pollutant modeling analysis is required.

6.1 Comparison of Site-Wide Emissions
The proposed site-wide total emissions represent a minimal increase in SO2; therefore, P&G will not be
required to obtain offsets and will remain a major source.
6.2 Offset Requirements
The UDAQ offset requirements recorded in R307-403, R307-420-3 and R307-421-3 are not applicable to the
proposed modifications with this NOI because proposed emission increases are less than the significant
emission rates documented in R307-420-3 and R307-421-3.
