Project Description
BCE has requested an administrative amendment including the following equipment changes:
- Removal of one (1) diesel generator engine, 200 hp
- Removal of one (1) sizing screen
- Removal of one (1) cone crusher, 150 tpy
- Addition of one (1) VSI crusher, 150 tpy (ID II.A.5)
These changes will result in a decrease of emissions. Therefore, these changes qualify as a reduction in air
pollutants and are thus exempt from the requirement to submit a notice of intent and obtain an approval
order prior to construction under R307-401-12.
This amendment also updates condition II.B.2.b to limit the length of unpaved haul roads onsite to 2,550
feet.

SUMMARY OF NOTICE OF INTENT INFORMATION
Description of Proposal:
BCE has requested to add a 250 tph jaw crusher with an attached 200 hp diesel-fired engine and a 150 tph
cone crusher to the St. George Aggregate Production Plant. This new equipment will crush additional
aggregate at the source. Aggregate is mined at the source. The mined material is sent to crushers and
screens to process the aggregate. Except for the jaw crusher, the aggregate processing equipment is run
by line power. The jaw crusher is powered by a 200 hp diesel-fired engine. The annual aggregate
production will not change and will remain at 400,000 tons of aggregate produced per year.
Summary of Emission Totals:
The emissions listed below are an estimate of the total potential emissions from the source. Some
rounding of emissions is possible.
Estimated Criteria Pollutant Potential Emissions
CO2 Equivalent 380.00 tons/yr
Carbon Monoxide 2.20 tons/yr
Nitrogen Oxides 10.23 tons/yr

Review of Best Available Control Technology:
1. BACT review regarding Cone Crusher and Jaw Crusher
PM10 and PM2.5 are emitted from the cone crusher and jaw crusher. Add-on control devices like
baghouses, cyclones, electrostatic precipitators and scrubbers can be used to control PM10 and
PM2.5 emissions. These add-on control devices have high capital and operating costs. The
uncontrolled emissions from one crusher are estimated to be less than 0.5 tons of PM10. Due to
the small amount of emissions, the DAQ considers add-on controls as cost prohibitive. The next
option to control PM10 emissions from crushers is water application. Water application is
estimated to reduce the 0.5 tons of PM10 per crusher to just over 0.1 tons of PM10 per crusher.
Water application to reduce emissions from crushers is very affordable; therefore, water
application is selected as BACT for the crushers. To make sure the water application is
appropriate to control emissions, the crushers will be required to comply with a 12% opacity
limit. The 12% opacity limit is required for new crushers under NSPS Subpart OOO, and in
PM2.5 nonattainment areas in the State of Utah. Regardless of the manufacture date, the cone
crusher and the jaw crusher will be required to meet a 12% opacity limit. This limit will be
included as a permit condition. [Last updated February 20, 2018]
2. BACT review regarding Diesel-Fired Generator Engine
NOx, SO2, CO, PM10, PM2.5, VOC, and HAP are emitted from the diesel-fired generator engine.
There are numerous controls that control these pollutants. EPA has developed emission
standards to account for the various controls that could be implemented on a diesel-fired engine.
These standards are contained in NSPS Subpart IIII and MACT Subpart ZZZZ. Different
emission standards and work practices apply to engines depending on size and manufacture date.
To ensure the diesel-fired generator engine at this source meet the minimum federal
requirements, the NSR Section recommends the following as BACT for the diesel-fired
generator engine:
1. Proper engine tuning and maintenance
2. Visible emissions shall be 20% opacity or less
3. Sulfur content of fuel shall be 15 ppm or less
4. Compliance with the applicable federal standards contained in
a. 40 CFR 60, NSPS, Subpart IIII, and
b. 40 CFR 63, MACT, Subpart ZZZZ. [Last updated February 16, 2018]

1. Comment regarding Emission Estimates:
The emissions from the diesel-fired generator engine were estimated using AP-42 Section 3.3.
The emissions from bulldozers were estimated using AP-42 Section 11.9. The emissions from
wind erosion of exposed areas were estimated using AP-42 Section 11.9. The emissions from the
aggregate processing equipment (crushers, screens, & conveyors were estimated using AP-42
Section 11.19. The emissions from haul roads were estimated using AP-42 Section 13.2.2 and the
DAQ Haul Road Guidance. The emissions from material handling were estimated using AP-42
Section 13.2. The emissions from storage piles were estimated using the Fourth Edition of AP-42
Section 8.19.1-1. [Last updated February 16, 2018]
2. Comment regarding NSPS and MACT Requirements:
NSPS (40 CFR 60 Subpart A, Subpart OOO, and Subpart IIII) and MACT (40 CFR 63 Subpart A,
and Subpart ZZZZ) regulations apply to this source.
40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOO applies to crushers, screening operations, and belt conveyors at
nonmetallic mineral processing plants that commenced construction after August 31, 1983. This
source has crushers, screens, and conveyors on site, and all crushers, screens, and conveyors on
site were manufactured after August 31, 1983. Therefore, NSPS Subpart OOO applies to this
source.
40 CFR 63 MACT Subpart ZZZZ applies to owners and operators of stationary RICE at a major
or area source of HAP emissions. Since this source will have a stationary RICE at an area source
of HAP emissions, MACT Subpart ZZZZ will apply to this source.
NSPS Subpart IIII applies to owners and operators of stationary CI ICE that commence
construction after July 11, 2005, where the stationary CI ICE are manufactured after April 1,
2006. The diesel-fired generator engine is a CI ICE. The manufacturer date of the engine is
unknown. Because the information is unknown, the conservative approach is to assume NSPS
Subpart IIII applies. The references in this permit will list NSPS Subpart IIII as applying to this
source. [Last updated February 16, 2018]

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,
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 and is not a Title IV source. The source is subject to NSPS
Subpart OOO (a standard under Section 111 of the Act); therefore, Title V applies to this source.
[Last updated February 16, 2018]
4. Comment regarding Previous Permit Emission Estimates Compared to Current Emission
Estimates:
PM10 emission estimates have changed from the previous permit. The comparison of emissions
from the various sources is summarized below:
Emission Unit/Source Old Estimates New Estimates Change
Aggregate Processing 0.42 tpy 0.60 tpy + 0.18 tpy
Material Handling 0.28 tpy 0.73 tpy + 0.45 tpy
Storage Piles 1.41 tpy 5.75 tpy + 4.34 tpy
Disturbed Area 1.90 tpy 0.95 tpy - 0.95 tpy
Bulldozing 0.01 tpy 1.99 tpy + 1.98 tpy
Unpaved Roads 0.14 tpy 3.97 tpy + 3.83 tpy
Paved Roads 1.32 tpy 0.51 tpy - 0.81 tpy
[Last updated February 16, 2018]
5. Comment regarding Previous Permit Emission Estimates Compared to Current Emission
Estimates (Continued):
The reason for these changes is summarized below:
Aggregate Processing: The source is adding two crushers; therefore, emissions from the aggregate
processing are increasing. There were also some slight differences with the emission factors.
Material Handling: The new permit used four transfers instead of two. In addition, the new permit
used a moisture content of 4% and the previous permit used a moisture content of 4.8%. These
two changes resulted in an increase in emissions.
Storage Piles: The previous permit assumed 1.5 acres of storage piles and used the material
handling equation in AP-42 to estimate emissions from storage piles. This underestimated
emission by over 4 tons per year. The new permit used a storage pile size of 20 acres and used
AP-42 Fourth Edition to estimate emissions from storage piles.
Disturbed Area: The current permit used the same emission factors as the previous permit;
however, the current permit assumed that only half of the total acres were actually being
disturbed. This is because there are haul roads, storage piles, buildings, and other areas that are
not considered disturbed area. Therefore, there is a decrease in emissions.

February 20, 2018
Page 15
Bulldozing: The emission factor number for bulldozing was the same in both permits; however,
the previous permit did not use the correct units. The emission factor is 1.994 pounds per hour. It
is unknown which units the previous permit used, but the current permit is correct.
Unpaved Roads: The source has changed layouts from the previous permit. The total unpaved
haul road length increased from 600 feet to over 2,550 feet. In addition, the DAQ has a guidance
on how to estimate emissions from haul roads that was not available for the previous permit;
therefore, emissions were estimated using different control efficiencies and factors. This accounts
for the increase in unpaved haul road emissions.
Paved Roads: The source has changed layouts from the previous permit. The paved haul road
length increased from 250 feet to over 1,300 feet; however, the method used to estimate paved
haul road emissions has changed since the previous permit. The DAQ has a guidance on how to
estimate emissions from haul roads that was not available for the previous permit; therefore,
emissions were estimated using different control efficiencies and factors. Because of these overall
changes, there is a decrease in emissions from the paved haul roads. [Last updated February 16,
