Review of BACT for New/Modified Emission Units
1. BACT review regarding the concrete batch plant
The three (3) cement silos and one (1) fly ash are controlled with dust collectors. The aggregate
bins, cement surge hoppers, conveyors, weigh scale and the concrete mixer are enclosed and
controlled with a baghouse. The dust collectors and baghouse will have control efficiencies over
99% for particulate emissions. Visible emissions from the control equipment are limited to 10%
opacity. The Minor NSR Section recommend the controls and opacity limit as BACT. [Last
updated September 14, 2023]
2. BACT review regarding Aggregate Plant Operations
The crushing, screening, and conveying of aggregate materials creates PM10 and PM2.5 emission. Potential controls for these emissions include electrostatic precipitators (ESPs), wet scrubbers,
cyclones, baghouses, enclosures, and water sprays. Due to the cost of the control and frequent
changes in plant setup, the following control technologies are economically and/or technologically
infeasible and were eliminated as BACT: ESPs, wet scrubbers, cyclones, enclosures, and
baghouses. The remaining control option is water sprays.
Water sprays are an effective control for PM emissions from crushing and screening operations as
well as transfer and drop points. BACT requirements for material processing is the use of water
sprays to meet the following opacity limitations applicable to process equipment:
Crushers - 12%
Screens - 7%
Conveyor Transfer Points - 7%
Conveyor Drop Points - 20%
[Last updated September 14, 2023]
3. BACT review regarding fugitive dust sources
Haul Roads
PM10 and PM2.5 are emitted as fugitive dust from haul roads. Controls for these emissions include
paving with vacuum sweeping (95%), paving with sweeping and watering (90%), chemical
suppressants with watering (85%), and watering (70-75%). The most effective control for haul
roads is paving combined with vacuum sweeping and watering on a regular basis. The source shall
pave the haul roads and water spray and/or sweep the roads. Visible emissions from the paved
haul roads are limited to 20% opacity. The Minor NSR Section recommends the control methods
and opacity limit as BACT.
Storage Piles
Water sprays are an effective technology to control fugitive dust emissions from storage piles.
Visible emissions from the storage piles are limited to 20% opacity. Minor NSR Section considers
water sprays and the opacity limit as BACT.
[Last updated February 26, 2024]
4. BACT review regarding 450-hp diesel-fired engine
The engine provides mechanical power to the crusher and a generator. The engine is an EPA Tier
4 certified, and equipped with Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Selective Catalytic Reduction
(SCR). The Tier 4 emission standards for the engine are: HC = 0.14 g/hp-hr, NOx = 0.30 g/hp-hr,
and PM = 0.01 g/hp-hr. The engine will also fire with ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel. Visible
Engineer Review N161530001: CMC Rock, LLC - Heber City Concrete Batch Plant
April 1, 2024
Page 6
emissions from the engine will be limited to 20% opacity. The Minor NSR Section considers the
measures and the limits as BACT. [Last updated September 14, 2023]
5. BACT review regarding the boiler
The boiler is natural gas fired and rated at 6.83 MMBtu/hr. The boiler is a turbomatic heating
system specially designed for concrete batch plant applications. The flue gas exhausts through the
filled aggregate bins to heat the aggregate. According to the manufacturer, the use of natural gas,
back pressure and absorption of the filled materials in the storage bins, will reduce NOx emissions
to 0.43 tpy with NOx concentration close to ultra-low NOx level at 12 ppm. Because of the already
low level of NOx emissions, it is technologically infeasible and economically infeasible to reduce
NOx emissions further by retrofitting the boiler. Visible emissions from the system will be limited
to 10% opacity. The Minor NSR Section considers the turbomatic heating system and the opacity
limit as BACT. [Last updated February 26, 2024]

2. Comment regarding NSPS, MACT and Title V Applicability:
NSPS
NSPS Subpart OOO applies to each crusher, screening operation, and belt conveyor in fixed or
portable nonmetallic mineral processing plants manufactured after August 31 1983. The source
owns and operates the aggregate processing equipment to process nonmetallic minerals according to
40 CFR 60.671; therefore, NSPS Subpart OOO applies 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
stationary engine at this source was manufactured after April 1, 2006; therefore, NSPS Subpart IIII
applies to this source.
MACT
40 CFR 63 MACT Subpart ZZZZ applies to owners and operators of stationary RICE at a major or
area source of HAP emissions. This source will have stationary RICE at an area source of HAP
emissions; therefore, MACT Subpart ZZZZ will apply to the stationary engine at this source.

The CMC Rock facility is a Minor Source with a potential to emit significantly below the thresholds
listed in Table 1. Therefore, a dispersion modeling analysis is not included with the NOI. Instead,
CMC Rock will rely on UDAQ’s in-house Emissions Impact Analysis (EIA).
Utah regulation R301-401-5(2)(d) requires that an analysis of Best Available Control Technology
(BACT) be applied to all regulated air pollutants emitted from a facility. A BACT determination is
made on a case-by-case basis, with consideration given to technological practicability and
economic reasonableness. In all cases BACT must establish emission limitations or specific design
characteristics at least as stringent as applicable New Source Performance Standards.
This BACT analysis provides a discussion on the feasibility of control options for PM10/PM2.5 from
the fugitive emissions resulting from Concrete Batch Plant material handling operations as well as
NOx, PM10/PM2.5, CO, and VOC BACT analyses for combustion sources (i.e., engines/boiler).
CMC Rock believes, for purposes of this NOI, a detailed and comprehensive “top-down”
presentation is not necessary for the Proposed CMC Rock facility equipment because:
1. The equipment is relatively simple and control technology options are limited.
2. Prior analyses and process knowledge have defined BACT categorically and reiteration
of the analyses is not necessary.
Consequently, for each type of equipment covered in the NOI, BACT is identified and the basis
for the choice is discussed.
BACT FOR CONCRETE BATCH PLANT EMISSIONS
With this NOI, CMC Rock has proposed a 250,000 cubic yards per year central mix concrete
batch plant. The batch plant is comprised of three silos for cement and a fly ash silo. Cement is
transferred to a surge hopper via screw conveyors. Screw conveyors transfer the various grades
of cement to the weigh hopper. Fly Ash is also fed from the silo to the weigh scale with screw
conveyors. The Cement and fly ash are then transferred to the central mix drum along with
aggregate/sand and water. The silos are loaded from delivery trucks via pneumatic conveyors
and emissions are controlled by dust collectors. Admixtures are also delivered by truck and
transferred by electric driven pumps. The batch plant equipment is enclosed and equipped
with a dust collector as well. All dust collectors have a vendor stated fabric filter control
efficiency of at least 99%.
The plant includes a recycled concrete crusher and associated material handling grizzly feeder,
screen, conveyors and super-stacker. The concrete impactor and screen plant is controlled by
water spray.
PM10/PM2.5 fugitive emissions from material handling operations include stockpile activity and
wind erosion. PM10/PM2.5 non-fugitive emissions resulting from the facility crusher and
associated screen and conveying operations are subject to NSPS 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart OOO.
An April 2023 search revealed a posted BACT Determination on the San Joaquin Valley Air
Pollution Control District BACT Clearinghouse. The determination incorporates BACT findings from
the EPA/RACT/BACT/LEAR Clearinghouse, the ARB BACT Clearinghouse of Santa Barbara County
APCD, South Coast AQMD, San Diego County APCD, Bay Area AQMD, and Sacramento
Metropolitan AWMD. That determination (Guideline 6.2.2, dated July 31, 2018) lists the following
applicable, technologically feasible and achievable controls.
1) Sand and Aggregate storage: Outdoor storage piles adequately wetted to prevent
visible emissions >5% opacity.
2) SAND/AGGREGATE Handling: Equipped with water sprays on all transfer points.
3) STORAGE SILOS for CEMENT and FLYASH: Enclosed silo vented to a control device with
99% efficiency (baghouse, bin vent or equivalent).
4) CEMENT/FLYASH WEIGH BATCHER: Enclosed weigh batcher vented to a control device
with 99% efficiency (baghouse or equivalent).
5) CENTRAL MIXER LOADING: Enclosed mixer vented to a control device with 99% efficiency
(baghouse or equivalent).
For the planned CMC Rock Concrete Batch Plant Operation: The concrete crusher and material
handling operation are controlled with water spray at all transfer points. The aggregate outdoor
storage piles located at the plant are sprayed with water as needed to maintain an adequate
moisture content. The proposed baghouse/fabric filters for the concrete batch plant silos and
enclosed aggregate bins, cement surge hopper, conveyors, weigh scale and mixer provide
equivalent or greater control than available controls identified in the published BACT
determination.
CMC Rock considers the water spray controls for the aggregate crusher, material handling and
storage piles, as well as the planned baghouse/fabric filter dust collection controls, located at
the silos and enclosed central mix plant equipment as BACT.
BACT FOR HAUL ROADS FUGITIVE EMISSIONS
Fugitive particulate emissions are associated with haul roads. The vehicular disturbance of dust
generates PM10/PM2.5 emissions. UAC R307-205 Emissions Standards: Fugitive Emissions and
Fugitive Dust, requires that new source haul roads meet a 20% opacity limit. The controls
implemented must ensure that the opacity limit is not exceeded.
DAQ-2018-007161, BACT for Small Sources, list the following control options for Haul Roads in
Table 2 below.

Sweeping, water spray and paving provide the highest level of control (90-95 percent per Utah
Department of Environmental Quality memorandum, January 12, 2015) of PM10/PM2.5 emissions.
This is considered BACT for the paved roads at the CMC Rock facility.
Fugitive emissions are subject to the fugitive dust control plan requirement of R307-309-6. CMC
Rock believes it can effectively control fugitive dust emissions according to a fugitive dust
emissions control plan and will utilize water sprays and/or sweeping as needed to meet the 20%
opacity limit.
BACT FOR DIESEL-FIRED GENERATOR EMISSIONS
CMC Rock will have one 450 HP diesel engine coupled to the crusher and a generator to
provide electricity to equipment. Pollutant emissions from the internal combustion engine
includes NOx, PM10, PM2.5, CO, SO2, and VOCs. The generator is subject to NSPS 40 CFR Part 60,
Subpart IIII.
DAQ-2018-007161, BACT for Small Sources, list the following control options for Diesel Engines in
Table 3 below.

CMC Rock intends to purchase Tier 4f Engine required by NSPS Subpart IIII equipped with EGR
and SCR. Due to the emissions being relatively small, CMC Rock believes that the installation of
any additional controls would not be cost effective for these engines.
DAQ-2018-007161, BACT for Small Sources, states the “DAQ did not find any controls that were
cost effective for controlling PM2.5 emissions or VOC emissions. The document also indicates that
an engine that complies with NSPS Subpart IIII requirements would be considered BACT for NOx
and that use of Ultra Low-Sulfur fuel is BACT for SO2.
Therefore, CMC Rock has determined that purchase of NSPS Subpart IIII compliant engines,
proper maintenance and operation of the stationary diesel engines, and use of ultra low-sulfur
diesel fuel is considered BACT for these engines.
BACT FOR GAS-FIRED BOILER EMISSIONS
With this NOI, CMC Rock has proposed a 6.83 MMBtu/hr Polarmatic Turbomatic Heating System
(boiler). The Turbomatic heating unit is specially designed for concrete batch plant applications;
integrated into the design operation of the plant to exhaust the Turbogas through the filled
aggregate bins to heat the aggregate. See figure 1.
The primary pollutants from the combustion of natural gas in boilers are NOX and CO.
Particulates, SO2, VOC, and HAP are emitted at lower levels.
An emissions report from the vendor reflects a factory test run in Finland, using propane gas as
the fuel. The test run was optimized for CO; not NOx. CO tested concentration was 1 ppm.
Propane fuel combustion is expected to emit 2.3 times as much NOx compared to natural gas
combustion.1 The expected equivalent NOx concentration from natural gas combustion is 47
ppm (108 ppm / 2.3).
Additionally, the filled aggregate bins provide exhaust back pressure. This increased pressure
reduces NOx emissions.2 Based on conversations with the vendor and review of the scientific
research, this back pressure effect is assumed to cut the NOx concentration in half;
approximately 24 ppm entering the aggregate bins.
Lastly, the filled aggregate bins absorb the Turbogas, providing significant control of the NOx
emissions. Although it is not possible to measure the NOx at the top of the bins (no available
stack), the vendor has very conservatively assumed the aggregate absorption provides at least
50% control of the NOx entering the bins; approximately 12 ppm exhausting from the top of the
bins.
Overall, the NOx emissions from the integrated heating system, considering exhaust
backpressure and absorption by the aggregate bins, is close to what you would expect from
ultra-low NOx burners. Ultra-low NOx or low-NOx burners are typically considered BACT, if
commercially available. As previously stated, the Turbomatic heating unit is a specially designed
machine and the existing burner is an integrated part of the machine. A burner retrofit would

Fuel
require a complete redesign of the machine and concrete batch plant itself. Therefore,
installation of a lower NOx burner is technologically infeasible.
There are no NSPS regulations applicable to boilers with input ratings less than or equal to 10
MMBtu/hr and gas-fired boilers are exempt from the requirements of 40 CFR 63 JJJJJJ (National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Area Sources: Industrial, Commercial, and
Institutional Boilers). There are no Utah State rules applicable to PM2.5 emissions from boilers
rated less than 10 MMBtu/hr.
According to DAQ-2018-007161, BACT for Small Sources, DAQ recommends the use of natural
gas as primary fuel and good combustion practices as BACT for boilers with input ratings less
than or equal to 10 MMBtu/hr.

Subject: Re: CMC Rock NSR Applica on
Sam and Talor,
I have finished reviewing the documents submitted last december. I have the
following questions. Some of the questions were those I made in the email dated
9/14/23. I'm seeking your help with answers:
1. Is there any manufacturer's statement or tests regarding back pressure
and absorption effect of the filled aggregate that can significantly reduce NOx
emissions in the flue gas from the boiler/heater? Here is a statement
3/14/24, 12:46 AM State of Utah Mail - CMC Rock NSR Application
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/?ik=20ff41d2e4&view=pt&search=all&permmsgid=msg-f:1793348019919600593&simpl=msg-f:1793348019919600593 2/3
received back from the manufacturer regarding the absorption and back
pressure.
“Secondly, this is the value after burner, before the TURBOgas, consisting of the flue gases and vapor, is led to aggregate bins filled with sand
and stone. The material in the bins causes back pressure into the pipeline, through which the TURBOgas is led to the aggregate bins. It is
found in scientific research that when pressure increases, the NOX value goes down, reference: [F. Biagioli, F. Güthe, Effect of pressure and
fuel-air unmixedness on NOx emis-sions from industrial gas turbine burners, Combustion and Flame]. This already reduces the NOX
remarkably prior to entering the aggregate bins.”
2. Provide the manufacturer's or installer's recommended pressure drop ranges
for the baghouses. See below spec for bag houses.
3. Provide greenhouse gas (GHG) emission calculations. See attached
4. Are there diesel storage tanks on site? if yes, provide the tank capacity and
emissions. See attached
5. Are there any disturbed areas on site? If yes, calculate emissions. All areas
have been covered with gravel.

Sam,
I have conducted technical reviews on your permit application (NOI). Here are some
questions I'd like to ask you for help:
1. The capacities for conveyors/stackers are listed in tons per hour. We need their
physical sizes, for example, 10' x 8'.
2. BACT analysis for the hot water boiler is inadequate. NOx concentration of 140 ppm
seems very high. We'd like to see if low NOx burners and/or ultra-low NOx burners
could be economically feasible to bring down the emissions.
3. Are there any disturbed areas on site not counting haul roads and storage piles?
4. Are there any fuel storage tanks on site?
5. Please show correct sources of emission factors for aggregate/sand storage piles.
Maybe it's a good idea to email us a copy of spreadsheets that would show how the
emission factors and emissions were calculated.
Let me know if you have any questions. Please Provide the above information so we
can move forward. Thank you.
