1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Pepperidge Farm owns and operates a commercial bakery in Richmond, Utah. The bakery is located in an
area that is in attainment for all pollutants except PM2.5 and its precursors, for which it has been designated
as a maintenance area. The Logan UT-ID nonattainment area was previously designated as moderate
nonattainment for PM2.5 and redesignated into a maintenance area in 2021. The Richmond Plant is
permitted as a minor source under Utah approval order (AO) (i.e., air permit) No. DAQE-AN118410009-23.
At this time, Pepperidge Farm is proposing to add an additional manufacturing line, similar in size to line 10
which is currently in operation at the Richmond Bakery. This line (Line 11) will have combustion emissions
associated with an oven and VOC emissions associated with yeast. An additional Catalytic Oxidizer to control
VOC emissions from the baking process as well as cooling towers are included in the project scope. Finally,
Pepperidge Farm is proposing to remove one (1) 10.5 MMBtu/hr boiler. This capital project referred to as
“Project Finn.”
Additionally, Pepperidge Farm is taking this opportunity to bring a list of emission sources onsite into
accordance with current UDAQ guidance. Pepperidge Farm has included all existing and proposed minor
sources, bin filters, and cooling towers within the proposed potential to emit (PTE) for the Richmond Plant.

3. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND PROCESS
3.1 Description of Project
In response to growing demand for Goldfish® crackers, Pepperidge Farm is proposing to add an additional
Goldfish® manufacturing line, line 11, similar in size to line 10 which is currently in operation at the
Richmond Bakery. Line 11 will result in combustion emissions associated with an oven, as well as VOC
emissions associated with yeast. An additional Catalytic Oxidizer to control VOC emissions from the baking
process will be installed as well as three (3) additional cooling towers. Finally, Pepperidge Farm is proposing
to remove one (1) 10.5 MMBtu/hr boiler.
Additionally, Pepperidge Farm is taking this opportunity to bring a list of emission sources onsite into
accordance with current UDAQ guidance. Previously omitted emission sources includes all existing and
proposed minor sources (HVAC units, humidifiers, process heaters, etc.), bin filters, and cooling towers
within the proposed potential to emit (PTE) for the Richmond Plant. As a result, a plant wide PTE is
presented in Appendix B.
3.2 Description of Process
As previously discussed, Pepperidge Farm is proposing the addition of one (1) new cracker line. This section
provides additional description of the manufacturing process and a process flow diagram (PFD) is presented
in Figure 3-1.
Upon installation of the new proposed line, raw ingredients will be fed into a mixer to create cracker dough.
The dough is then transferred to a proofing room where the yeast is allowed to ferment and cause the
dough to rise. Once the dough has finished proofing, it runs through a se ries of rollers which both laminates
and shapes the dough into thin sheets. The dough is cut and sent to bake in an oven which is heated using
natural gas burners. Once out of the oven, the crackers are heat sealed in packaging and ready for
shipment.
Throughout the process small process heaters, air conditioning units, and humidifiers are utilized to
maintain the correct temperature and humidity for production. The raw ingredients are received onsite from
either bulk trucks or totes. Solid ingredients are stored in silos which are controlled with bin vent filters.
Packaging material is received in pre-made sheets.
Emissions attributed to each step in the production line are outlined in the PFD and following sections.
Further detail regarding each step is provided in subsequent sections.
Pepperidge Farm / Project Finn
Trinity Consultants 3-2
Figure 3-1. New Cracker Line PFD
3.2.1 Line 11
3.2.1.1 Mixing
This step results in an increase in combustion emissions from the mixing room. In the mixing step, dry
ingredients are combined with water, then transferred to a trough full of flour. This trough has a lid with
rotating blades which is lowered, and the thickened dough is fully mixed. Because the emissions from these
steps are attributed only to the process heaters and humidifiers, the emissions will be removed using small
stacks.
3.2.1.2 Proofing
In this step, fugitive VOC emissions are released when the surface of the risen cracker dough is broken.
After the dough has been fully mixed, it is transferred to a warm, humidity-controlled environment and
allowed to rise. During this fermenting process, yeast inside of the dough creates CO2, which is contained
within the dough until the surface of the dough is manually disturbed before moving on to the
laminating/shaping step. This fermenting process results in an increase in VOC emissions with the increased
production of cracker dough. This step also leads to an increase in combustion emissions from the Line 11
Humidifier, Tote Wash Steam Generator, and Trough Wash Steam Generator. Both combustion and VOC
emissions are negligible in amount, thus allowing for the emissions to be removed using small stacks.
3.2.1.3 Laminating/Shaping
In the laminating/shaping step, dough is layered and flattened as it passes through industrial rollers. The
flattened dough then passes through a die which cuts the dough into individual crackers. Because the
emissions from these steps are attributed only to the process heaters and humidifiers, the emissions will be
removed using small stacks.
3.2.1.4 Baking
Ethanol, created as a product of fermentation within the cracker dough, evaporates at approximately zone
three (3) in the oven, emitting VOCs. This results in an increase in VOC emissions with the increased
Pepperidge Farm / Project Finn
Trinity Consultants 3-3
production of crackers. The new line 11 oven burners will also produce combustion emissions as they heat
the oven.
VOC emissions from the ethanol released during baking are captured by an internal oven vent with 100%
capture efficiency. These emissions are then passed through a catalytic oxidizer with a control efficiency of
95%.
3.2.1.5 Packaging
After passing through the oven, the crackers are heat-sealed into their pre-made packaging. This step
results in an increase in combustion emissions from the Finished Goods Warehouse, Tote Storage Room,
Palletizer, Packaging, and Utility Pump Room.
3.2.2 Removal of Plant Boiler
It is proposed that one (1) utility boiler should be removed. This boiler has a rating of 10.5 MMBtu/hr, and
its removal will cause a decrease combustion emissions.
3.2.3 Cooling Towers
Pepperidge Farm currently operates one cooling tower consisting of two (2) cooling cells. In addition to the
new cracker line, Pepperidge Farm is proposing to install three (3) eco-Air Series V-configuration Industrial
Adiabatic Coolers to support this operation. Due to the adiabatic method of cooling, these cooling towers
are anticipated to have no emissions.

4. EMISSIONS RELATED INFORMATION
This section details the methodology used to calculate controlled and uncontrolled emissions for criteria
pollutants, greenhouse gases, and HAPs associated with each new unit and its associated fugitives as
regulated by R307-401-5(2)(b). Detailed emission calculation tables are included in Appendix B.
4.1 Manufacturing Emissions
Pepperidge Farm utilizes yeast to produce Goldfish crackers. This yeast ferments and produces carbon
dioxide that gives the crackers their indicative texture. Ethanol and Acetaldehyde are produced as
byproducts of this fermentation. Ethanol is classified as a VOC and Acetaldehyde is classified as both a VOC
and HAP.
Over the past several years Pepperidge Farm has been evaluating emissions from its cracker lines. As a
critical step toward ensuring fugitive emissions were representative of the process, Pepperidge Farm
conducted stack testing to further define fugitive emission rates from a cracker line at a similar facility in
Willard, Ohio. Using the stack test data, Pepperidge Farm developed updated overall line emission rates,
further defined fugitive emission rates, and confirmed the control efficiency of control equipment.
Uncontrolled total emissions are the sum of fugitive emissions from the fermentation process and oven
emissions which result from baking the crackers and are controlled by a catalytic oxidizer. Pepperidge Farm
developed an emission factor which encompasses both fugitive and oven emission through stack testing
conducted in Denver, PA in 1998. This factor is based on finished product throughput and the equation is as
follows:
Uncontrolled Total Emissions (lb VOC
hr )
=Overall Emission Factor (lb VOC
ton goldfish)∗Product Throughput (lb goldfish
hr )
∗(ton
2000 lb)
Where:
Overall Emission Factor =23.08 (lb VOC
ton goldfish)
During the mixing, proofing, sheeting, and laminating process steps , a small amount of the ethanol and
acetaldehyde have the potential to evaporate into the manufacturing space. These emissions are fugitive in
nature, uncontrolled, and released via air vents within the manufacturing building. This fugitive emission
factor used was obtained through testing in the Willard, OH Proof Room in 2020 and is based on tons of wet
dough. Potential fugitive emissions were calculated as follows:
Fugitive Emissions (lb VOC
hr )
=Fugitive Emission Factor (lb VOC
ton dough)∗Dough Throughput (lb dough
hr )∗(ton dough
2000 lb dough)
Pepperidge Farm / Project Finn
Trinity Consultants 4-2
Where:
Fugitive Emission Factor =0.397 (lb VOC
ton dough)
In order to quantify the emissions produced within the oven the uncontrolled fugitives are subtracte d from
the total uncontrolled emissions.
Uncontrolled Oven Emissions (lb VOC
hr )
=(Uncontrolled Total Emissions (lb VOC
hr )−Fugitive Emissions (lb VOC
hr ))
Oven emissions result from the yeasted product being baked in the oven . During baking the ethanol and
acetaldehyde produced by the yeast reach their boiling points and thus evaporate into the oven chamber.
The boiling point for each of these pollutants is reached within the center of the oven which allows for a
100% capture efficiency. These emissions are controlled with a catalytic oxidizer and the controlled
emission rate for the oven is calculated as follows:
Controlled Oven Emissions = Uncontrolled Oven Emissions (lb VOC
hr )∗(1 −Control Efficiency (%))
Total process emissions are the sum of the controlled oven emissions and the fugitive emissions:
Total Process Emissions =Controlled Oven Emissions +Fugitive emissions
4.2 Combustion Emissions
4.2.1 Natural Gas
This section includes Criteria Pollutants, HAPs, and GHGs resulting from the modification. These emissions
are produced by the oven burners, plant boiler, pan washer and dryer, catalytic oxidizer, and any minor
sources. All potential emissions for this section have been calculated using standard EPA emission factors for
natural gas combustion found in AP-42 Section 1.4 and 40 CFR 98 Subpart C tables C-1 and C-2 with global
warming potentials from 40 CFR 98 table A-1. 1050 Btu/scf was used as the high heating value of natural
gas, in accordance with plant records. The general format for all provided emission factors is consistent, and
total emissions have been calculated as follows:

pollutants are based on the annual hours of operation at the maximum power output of each engine.
Emission factors (EF) for diesel-fired operation were obtained from AP-42 Section 3.3.

An increase in PM2.5 and PM10 emissions will result from the addition of the existing two (2) cell cooling

5. BEST AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
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.3 The below BACT analysis only addresses units which will be modified, installed,
or otherwise addressed in this NOI.
The UDAQ NOI Guide details the requirements 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 env ironment from its process.
5.1 Oven VOC Emissions
Oven emissions are produced as the yeast uses sugars added to the dough or converts starches in the
dough to sugars to support the generation of new yeast cells. This conversion occurs under anaerobic
conditions and results in the generation of ethanol and other by-products within the dough. When the
dough is baked in an oven the internal temperature of the product exceeds the boiling point of ethanol and
the ethanol is vaporized, resulting in VOC emissions. Typically, ethanol is vaporized after the dough has
been baking for several minutes, has reached the appropriate internal temperature, and is located in Zone 3
of the oven. These emissions are directed to centralized stacks and controlled with a catalytic oxidizer. This
section of the BACT analysis focuses on the VOC emissions resulting from baking within an oven.
5.1.1 Step 1 – Identify All Available Control Technologies
The first step in the BACT analysis is to identify all available control technologies. VOC control technologies
were identified from Trinity’s search based on the following references:
► South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD);
► Search of the RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse (RBLC), for Process Code 70.55 – Bakeries and Snack
Food, was conducted on March 9, 2023.
From this review, Trinity identified six available control technologies:
► Carbon adsorption unit;
► Thermal oxidizer;
► Catalytic oxidizer;
► Condensation unit;
► Wet packed bed scrubber; and
► Good Work Practices.
The identified controls are further described below.

Pepperidge Farm / Project Finn
Trinity Consultants 5-2
5.1.2 Step 2 – Assess Technical Feasibility
Carbon Adsorption Unit
A carbon adsorption unit is a means of emission control that consists of one to several beds of activated
carbon, through which exhaust passes. Activated carbon adsorbs the VOCs in the exhaust onto its large
surface area, resulting in clean air for emission. Over time, the bed or beds become saturated as the VOCs
fill in carbon surface area, reducing efficiency. The carbon beds are regenerated by passing steam through
them, stripping the VOCs from the carbon particles. VOCs are recovered from the steam by condensing the
mixture, allowing for disposal or recovery. Carbon adsorption units typically achieve up to 95% VOC
reduction efficiencies.
Carbon adsorption control units are considered technologically infeasible for bakery ovens for several
reasons. First, ethanol is the primary organic gas present in exhaust from natural-gas bakery ovens; ethanol
has a high affinity to carbon, meaning that it is not easily stripped from the activated carbon particles. This
leads to lower control efficiencies, which continue to decrease the more the particles are used. In addition,
oils and fats present in oven will clog the pores of the carbon particles. This also reduces the life and utility
of the carbon. Carbon adsorption units are therefore technologically infeasible for bakery ovens and are not
considered a viable control technology for Pepperidge Farm.4
Thermal Oxidizer
Thermal oxidizers (TOs) regularly achieve up to 98% destruction efficiencies because of the inherent
efficiency of the combustion processes.5 TOs typically consist of an enclosed combustion chamber with an
auxiliary burner fired with a conventional fuel. The firing rate of the burner is automatically controlled to
maintain a preset combustion-chamber temperature. TOs provide maximum operating flexibility because
they can handle CO and most known VOCs at a wide range of concentrations and f lows. However, TOs
require relatively high fuel input because of operating temperatures. Heat recovery is frequently used with
TO systems to minimize the fuel operating cost, especially with low concentrations of VOC. Heat recovery
devices used in VOC systems are most commonly indirect recuperative heat exchangers or thermal mass
regenerative heat exchangers.
The three main types of TO systems include direct flame, regenerative TO, and recuperative TO, which are
differentiated by the type of heat recovery equipment used.
► Direct Flame: A direct flame thermal oxidizer consists of only a combustion chamber with no heat
recovery equipment.
► Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers: Each oxidizer contains several large “cells” which are filled with ceramic
packing. These systems employ a large thermal mass to collect heat and return it to the incoming fume.
The cells are alternated from heat-up to cool-down cycles for fume preheating by a series of dampers
and ducts on the outlet side of the system. These units can achieve high removal efficiencies (95 - 98%)
at temperatures from 1,400-1,500°F because of the thorough mixing in the ceramic packing sections.

5 Per EPA Air Pollution Control Technology Fact Sheet, Thermal Incinerator. EPA-452/F-03-022.
Pepperidge Farm / Project Finn
Trinity Consultants 5-3
These systems are more maintenance-intensive than recuperative types because of the mechanical
system that performs the alternating of cells.
► Recuperative Thermal Oxidizers: These systems employ an indirect heat exchanger device to preheat
the VOC and CO-laden fume. They are applied to oxidizers that operate at temperatures as high as
1,800°F. The maximum design efficiency is usually dictated by the exchanger outlet temperature and
the VOC content in the stream.
In general, TOs are less efficient at treating waste gas streams with highly variable flow rates, since the
variable flow rate results in varying residence times, combustion chamber temperature, and poor mixing.
Based on available information, thermal oxidizing controls are considered technologically feasible and will be
further considered for Pepperidge Farm.
Catalytic Oxidizer
Catalytic oxidation is the process of oxidizing organic contaminants in a waste gas stream within a heated
chamber containing a catalyst bed in the presence of oxygen for sufficient time to completely oxidize the
organic contaminants to carbon dioxide and water. The catalyst is used to lower the activation energy of the
oxidation reaction. The residence time, temperature, flow velocity, mixing, oxygen concentration, and type
of catalyst used in the combustion chamber affect the oxidation rate and destruction/conversion efficiency.
Catalytic oxidizers typically require combustion of an auxiliary fuel (e.g., natural gas) to maintain a
combustion chamber temperature high enough to completely oxidize the contaminant gases, and as w ith
the thermal oxidizers, fume preheating devices are commonly used to minimize operating costs. Catalytic
oxidizers are typically designed to have a residence time of 0.5 seconds or less and combustion chamber
temperatures between 600 and 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
This is considered technologically feasible for the ovens, and is the most commonly used control technology
found in the aforementioned RBLC and California air quality districts search . Pepperidge Farm currently
operates three catalytic oxidizers, installed on lines 3, 5, and 10, and has observed a control efficiency of
95-96%.
Condensation Unit
Emissions sources that have low flow rates of high -concentration VOCs (up to 100%), such as tank vents,
are ideal applications for refrigerated and cryogenic condensers. The condensed liquid is returned to the
process, and non-condensable liquids (with low levels of VOCs) are vented to the atmosphere.
Single stage condensing systems, which can reduce the vented gas stream to minus 20°F, can be use d for
high boiling compounds (such as gasoline tank vapors from tank transfer operations), and can achieve 90 -
95% control efficiencies. High control efficiencies require lower temperatures and more complexity, such as
multiple stages and pumping systems.
Cascade (multi-stage) condensing systems use cryogenics that can produce temperatures as low as minus
120°F. These systems are required for lower molecular weight VOCs with high vapor pressures, or for vent
streams with significant condensable components, such as nitrogen from air.
Emissions sources that have low flow rates of high concentration VOCs (up to 100%) such as tank vents are
ideal applications for refrigerated and cryogenic condensers. Because the ovens release a high air flow, a
Pepperidge Farm / Project Finn
Trinity Consultants 5-4
condensation unit is not an optimal control technology. From the RBLC search, condensation has not proven
technologically feasible for the control of VOCs in bakery/snack ovens. Additionally, there is an added
difficulty of the treatment and disposal of the resulting wastewater. For these reasons, condensation units
are not considered feasible control technology.
Wet Packed-Bed Scrubber
A wet packed-bed scrubber is an air pollution control device that rem oves VOCs from stationary point source
waste streams. VOCs are primarily removed through the impaction, diffusion, interception, and/or
absorption of the pollutant onto droplets of liquid. This weighs the droplets down, such that they fall back to
the surface of the packed bed. Wet packed-bed scrubbers can typically attain removal efficiencies greater
than 80% for VOCs in general.
Wet packed-bed scrubbers are considered technologically feasible as a control method for VOC emissions
from the oven. However, the use of scrubbing control technology introduces problems associated with
substantial water needs and wastewater production/disposal. The process produces wastewater that
requires the use or installation of a wastewater treatment plant or ethanol recover y unit, arguably
outweighing the benefits from its VOC absorption. This waste must be properly handled, treated, and
disposed of at a waste treatment facility or landfill. For these reasons, wet packed-bed scrubbers as VOC
control technologies have been eliminated from further consideration.
Good Work Practices
Good work practices include the performance of regular cleaning operations, in accordance with the
standard that has been found in the RBLC search. Specifically, the work includes:
► Regular Cleaning:
• Removal of dough and/or bread from the oven by scraping and sweeping, or otherwise.
• Wiping off the interior of the ovens where necessary;
• Removal of oil, dough, bread, or other accumulated waste from the interior and exterior of the
ovens.
Good work practices are currently implemented at Pepperidge Farm.
5.1.3 Step 3 – Rank Remaining Control Technologies by Control Effectiveness
Pepperidge Farm ranked the potential control technologies presented above based on control efficiencies
documented in EPA’s Fact Sheets, as described in Table 5-1, below.
Table 5-1. Summary for Oven Emission Control
Control Technologies Rank Percent
Control
Catalytic Oxidizer 1 95-98
Thermal Oxidizer 1 95
Good Work Practices 2 Inherent
Catalytic Oxidizers and thermal oxidizers have been given the same control ranking because they have
comparable control efficiencies. However, thermal oxidizers operate at higher operating temperatures than
Pepperidge Farm / Project Finn
Trinity Consultants 5-5
catalytic oxidizers, which requires higher volumes of natural gas consumption. The higher volumes of
natural gas result in not only a higher cost but a higher overall emission rate when combustion emissions
are considered. Since thermal oxidizers are less established within the industry, have a comparable control
efficiency, result in a larger economic impact, and produce a larger environmental impact, thermal oxidizers
are not further considered.
5.1.4 Steps 4 and 5 – Evaluate Most Effective Controls and Select BACT
Pepperidge Farm proposes that the use of a catalytic oxidizer with a control efficiency of 95% in addition to
good work practices is BACT.
5.2 Fugitive (Proofing) Emissions
Minimal amounts of fugitive VOC emissions result from mixing, proofing, sheeting, and laminating process
steps. VOC emissions resulting from these steps are the result of yeast activity, primarily in the proofing
process. During the proofing process, the dough is kept at a specific temperature and relative humidity to
allow yeast to grow and release ethanol and carbon dioxide which in turn develops product crumb structure,
texture, and volume.
In order to ensure product quality and minimize the energy load required for production, care is taken to
minimize exhausts from these rooms, thereby minimizing the cost of heating and humidifying them.6
Significant VOC emissions do not result from this process as the ethanol developed remains primarily in a
liquid state until it reaches elevated temperatures in the baking process.
5.2.1 Step 1 – Identify All Available Control Technologies
VOC control technologies were identified based on review of the RBLC and BACT determinations published
by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD).7 Neither of these sources provided any
indication that the proof boxes were controlled by a standalone device. As a result, this BACT analysis
focuses on the capture of VOC generated from proofing and the resulting gas stream characteristics with
the understanding that VOC must be captured and gas stream characteristics must be compatible prior to
further control.
5.2.2 Steps 2 and 3 – Eliminate Technically Infeasible Options
In order to implement a standalone control device, emissions must first be captured and routed to a central
location. The standard capture methods for product manufacturing can be broadly described as specified
pick-up vents and enclosures.
Pick-up Vents
Specified pick-up vents generally consist of a vacuum strategically placed over the VOC emitting process.
For example, a fan located over a process tank, or a pick-up point located next to a printer. These pick-up
vents generally have a high-capture efficiency because the emission rate at that location is constant.
Proofing is conducted for large amounts of dough over several hours during which minimal VOC evaporation
will occur and thus rendering the use of a pick-up vent technically infeasible.

7 RBLC data was pulled for Bakeries and Snack Products on 01/05/2022
Pepperidge Farm / Project Finn
Trinity Consultants 5-6
Enclosure
An enclosure entails confining the emissions with physical boundaries. Enclosures generally work by drawing
more air out of the enclosure than enters it, thus evacuating the VOC from the area with exhaust gases.
This imbalance in air flow creates a negative pressure within the enclosure. Enclosures come in many forms
but are generally effective when the VOC emissions are generated within a relatively small space.
Manufacturing examples include ovens or other process-specific equipment.
VOC emissions from proofing are generated as the dough lies in troughs open to the room at an
inconsistent rate. Table 5-2 compares the known operating limits of the previously evaluated control
technologies. Additionally, this table identifies established technical infeasibility documented under the stack
emission analysis contained in Section 5.1 of this report.

Table 5-2 demonstrates that only catalytic oxidation may be technically feasible. Catalytic oxidation has not
been applied to the control of proofing emissions within the industry and thus technical feasibility is
theoretical and would need to be further discussed with a manufacturer. For completeness catalytic
oxidation has been considered further.
5.2.3 Step 4 – Economic and Environmental Considerations
While the available information demonstrates the use of catalytic oxidation may be technically feasible the
concentration to be treated is at the lower extreme of feasible concentration range. The low volume of VOC
to be treated leads to environmental concerns.
Catalytic oxidizers operate at temperatures between 600 ºF to 800 ºF and thus require an external heat
source, such as a natural gas burner. The combustion of natural gas emits additional criteria pollutants

between 4-12 ppm based on the typical inlet concentrations.

which increases the potential environmental impact. Given the low emission rate anticipated, it is likely that
emissions resulting from the control device will negate the control effectiveness of the device.
5.2.4 Step 5 – Select BACT
Due to the technical, and environmental difficulties associated with the capture of VOCs, the control of
fugitive emissions through the use of a centralized control device, such as a catalytic oxidizer, has been
determined to be technically infeasible and eliminated from BACT. No feasible BACT options are available.
5.3 Oven Combustion Emissions
The proposed line will contain an oven rated at 16.5 MMBtu/hr. This unit is several meters long and as a
result the heat load is distributed through six (6) different zones each with a burner over the conveyor and
another under the conveyor, this configuration results in twelve (12) individual burners fired on natural gas.
The use of natural gas allows for a small emission profile, generally the most significant emission rate is that
of NOx, thus this BACT section focuses on NOx.
NOx formed during combustion results from two (2) major mechanisms: thermal NO x and fuel NOx.
Because natural gas is relatively free of fuel-bound nitrogen, the contribution of NOx emissions in natural
gas-fired equipment is minimal, leaving thermal NOx as the main source of NOx emissions. Thermal NOx
formation is a function of residence time, oxygen level, and flame temperature, and can be minimized by
controlling these elements in the design of the combustion equipment.
CO emissions are often related to NOx emissions in that the same air-to-fuel ratios that affect the NOx
emission rate also determine the CO emission rate. SO2, VOC, PM2.5, and PM10 emissions are generally
considered low when combusting natural gas. As a result, no additional technologies, beyond good
combustion practices, have been identified for these pollutants. As discussed in Section 5.3.3 Pepperidge
Farm proposes to utilize good combustion practices.
5.3.1 Step 1 – Identify All Available Controls
Available control technologies for NOx were identified via the search of SCAQMD, SJVAPCD, and RBLC on
March 9, 2023. The RBLC search did not contain any NO x control technologies for bakeries. The results of
this search are contained in table 5-3.

It is important to note that these sources contain a wide range of emission guarantees and do not require
the implementation of a consistent technology. In an effort to be comprehensive Pepperidge Farm is
reviewing the use of the following control strategies:
► Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR);
► Burner Design; and
► Good combustion practices.
5.3.2 Step 2 – Eliminate Technically Infeasible Options
Selective Catalytic Reduction
SCR has been applied to stationary source, fossil fuel-fired, combustion units for emission control since the
early 1970s. It has been applied to large (>250 MMBtu/hr) utility and industrial boilers, process heaters, and
combined cycle gas turbines. SCR can be applied as a stand-alone NOX control or with other technologies
such as combustion controls. The reagent reacts selectively with the flue gas NOX within a specific
temperature range and in the presence of the catalyst and oxygen to reduce the NO X into molecular
nitrogen (N2) and water vapor (H2O).13 The optimum operating temperature is dependent on the type of
catalyst and the flue gas composition. Generally, the optimum temperature ranges from 480 °F to 800°F.14 In
practice, SCR systems operate at efficiencies in the range of 70% to 90%.15 The oven to be installed for line
11 will operate at a temperature significantly lower than required 480°F, as a result this technology is
considered technically infeasible.

Burner Design
NOx emissions are primarily impacted by burner design, specifically the design of the fuel injection nozzles
as well as the air to fuel ratio. Control of both of these parameters results in the lowest available NOx
emission rate. The industry standard for bakery ovens is to utilize a ribbon burners along the length of the
industrial oven. Specifically, the oven proposed utilizes six (6) different zones each with a burner over the
conveyor and another under the conveyor. These 3/8 inch wide burners have been tuned by the
manufacturer to distribute heat as efficiently as possible and minimize emissions. The use of well designed
burners which optimize efficiency are technically feasible and utilized in the proposed oven.
Air and fuel are pre-mixed on a burner specific basis and combustion products are utilized by the oven to
provide the needed heat. The exhaust is then released through a centralized stack. This design standard
eliminates the ability recirculate air and create distinct combustion zones. Air recirculation and distinct
combustion zones are the engineering principles used to reduce NOx in technologies such as flue gas
recirculation, low NOx burners, and ultra-low NOx burners. Furthermore, re-design of these burners to
include air recirculation has been known to cause a “flame out” condition, in which the fuel valves remain
open but the burner remains unlit. The accumulation of unburnt fuel presents an unacceptable safety
hazard. As a result, the use of these technologies is technically infeasible for bakery ovens.
Good Combustion Practices
Good combustion practices include proper equipment design, proper maintenance of equipment, good
house-keeping, and general operating practices that follow manufacture’s recommendations where
appropriate. Good combustion practices are standard in the industry and necessary for food production.
Good combustion practices are considered technologically feasible.
5.3.3 Steps 3-5 Select BACT
Pepperidge Farm proposes to utilize all technologically feasible control technologies, namely good burner
design, and good combustion practices. While the manufacturer cannot provide an emission guarantee, as it
is highly process dependent, conversations with the manufacturer indicated that through the use of these
technologies Pepperidge Farm would be able to achieve a NOx emission rate consistent between 25 and 90
ppm, which is consistent with the research conducted in Step 1.
5.3.4 Other Criteria Pollutants
Natural gas is the cleanest fossil fuel and is a highly efficient form of energy. It is composed mainly of
methane and its combustion results in less PM2.5, PM10, VOC, and SO2 in comparison to other fossil fuels.
Use of ultra low sulfur natural gas for the proposed oven is considered technically feasible. No other control
technologies are established for the control of these pollutants for ovens, as a result Pepperidge proposes
the use of good combustion practices meets BACT.
5.4 PM10 and PM2.5 Ingredient Transfer
Pepperidge Farm is proposing to include dry ingredient silos in the permit. Dry ingredients will be
transferred from truck to silo via pneumatic hose. Each of the silos contains several bin vent filters that are
inherent to the design of the silo. These filters are designed to vent the air utilized to deliver the raw
materials as well as retain the raw material within the silo. Any raw materials not contained by the bin vent
filters is emitted as PM10 and PM2.5. Since bin vent filters are inherent to the process they have not been
evaluated as BACT.
Pepperidge Farm / Project Finn
Trinity Consultants 5-10
5.4.1 Step 1 – Identify All Available Controls
Control technologies identified for PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from drops are as follows, based on July 20,
2023, review of relevant entries in EPA’s RBLC:
► Baghouse/Fabric Filter
► Bin vent filter (not evaluated since it is currently inherent to the process)
5.4.2 Steps 2-4 – Eliminate Technically/Economically Infeasible Options
5.4.2.1 Baghouse/Fabric Filter
Fabric filters (Baghouses) are used for medium and low gas-flow streams with high particulate
concentrations. The typical baghouse has a control efficiency between 95% to 99.9%16. A bin filter is
already installed on the silos to control all ingredient transfer and thus the installation of an additional
baghouse is the focus of this analysis.
Costs are primarily driven by the waste stream volumetric flow rate and pollutant loading.17 In general, a
small unit controlling a low pollutant loading will not be as cost effective as a large unit controlling a high
pollutant loading.18 Given that the emission rate for PM10 is less than 0.5 tpy and PM2.5 is less than 0.1 tpy
and these emissions are distributed between 14 silos Pepperidge has determined that the installation of
baghouses is economically infeasible.
5.4.3 Step 5 – Select BACT
Bin filters are inherent to the process and all other technologies have been ruled out as technically or
economically infeasible. As a result, Pepperidge Farm proposes that the silos meet BACT as designed.
5.5 Cooling Towers
The cooling towers onsite are part of a multi-cell, mechanical induced draft cooling tower that will be used
to reject heat from plant water using cooling water. There are currently two (2) cooling tower cells to
support the processes. The three (3) additional cell cooling towers proposed for the site use adiabatic
cooling and produces no emissions. Using the RBLC search and permit review results, potentially applicable
PM10 and PM2.5 control technologies for cooling towers were identified. Drift is the common measure of the
effectiveness of the design of a cooling tower to reduce emissions. A drift eliminator will be used as the
control measure to reduce drift.
5.5.1 Step 1 – Identify All Available Controls
Drift/mist eliminators reduce the amount of PM entrained on the water droplets of th at are released into the
atmosphere of the exit stream of the cooling tower thereby reducing the drift of the cooling tower. A drift of
0.001%, as specified by the vendor, is being identified as BACT.

5.5.2 Step 2-5 – Select BACT
Technically feasible technology includes a drift eliminator on the cooling tower. Based on established control
efficiencies for these technologies, the drift eliminator is considered the most effective control technology.
Thus, the implementation of the drift eliminator technology, with a drift of 0.001% has been selected as
BACT for the control of PM10 and PM2.5 emissions.
5.6 Other Small Combustion Sources
The Richmond Facility operates additional smaller emitting units which are solely natural gas fired. Primarily,
these units are HVAC units, process heaters, and humidifiers. These units have not been included in the
historic permit and are being added at this time to ensure all boilers/process heaters that may be covered
by R307-315 are included within the site PTE and equipment list. While the minor sources may not meet the
definition of a boiler, as contained in R307-315, this rule has been used as a BACT comparison. The
applicability of R307-315 is addressed in section 8.19
These smaller units combust under five (5) MMBtu/hr of fuel with exception to one unit which combusts
5.71 MMBtu/hr of fuel. As many of the existing units are each rated at less than the 5 MMBtu/hr exemption
limit in R307-401-10(1), and exempt per UDAQ guidance, Source Category Exemption published March 6,
2017, a BACT analysis is not required for this equipment. The following BACT has been performed for the
combustion emissions of the 5.71 MMBtu/hr unit.
5.6.1 NOX Technologies
The NOX that will be formed during combustion is from two major mechanisms: thermal NO X and fuel NOX.
Since natural gas is relatively free of fuel-bound nitrogen, the contribution of this second mechanism to the
formation of NOX emissions in natural gas-fired equipment is minimal, leaving thermal NOX as the main
source of NOX emissions. Thermal NO X formation is a function of residence time, oxygen level, and flame
temperature, and can be minimized by controlling these elements in the design of the combustion
equipment.
5.6.1.1 Step 1 – Identify all Available Controls
Pepperidge Farm has reviewed the following sources to ensure all available control technologies have been
identified. While not all the units evaluated in this section meet the definition of a boiler, natural gas
controls for equipment of this size are widely published under boiler regu lations and titles. As a result, the
reviewed sources often list control technologies for boilers that may not be applicable to all natural gas
minor sources.
► UDAQ rule R307-316, NOx Emission Controls for Natural-Gas Fired Boilers greater than 5 MMBtu/hr;
► EPA’s RBLC Database for Natural Gas External Combustion Units (process type 13.31);20
► EPA’s Air Pollution Technology Fact Sheets;
► EPA’s CATC Alternative Control Techniques Document – NO X Emissions from Utility Boilers;
► NESHAP DDDDD – Major Sources: Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters;
► NESHAP JJJJJJ – Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers at Area Sources;
► SCAQMD LAER/BACT Determinations;
19 R307-315 is used for comparison, but does not apply because Pepperidge Farm’s Plant is not located in Salt Lake, Davis,
Weber, and Tooele Counties.

The control efficiencies, as well as technically and economically feasible emission rates are established for

MMBtu and R307-316, NOx Emission Controls for Natural-Gas Fired Boilers greater than 5 MMBtu/hr. In
general these rules require natural gas boilers to achieve the following:
► NOx Emission Rate of 9 ppmv;21 and
► Operate and Maintain (O&M) in accordance with manufacturer's instruction.22
While these standards may not apply all units evaluated in this section they are generally accepted as
potential controls for small natural gas fired equipment.
5.6.1.2 Step 1 – Eliminate Technically Infeasible Options
To demonstrate a complete analysis, Pepperidge Farm has evaluated the following technologies including
both replacement burners and add-on controls.
5.6.1.2.1 Replacement Burner
ULNB and LNB technology use advanced burner design to reduce NOX formation through the restriction of
oxygen, flame temperature, and/or residence time. ULNB technology uses additional internal FGR which
involves recirculating the hot O2 depleted flue gas from the heater into the combustion zone using burner
design features and fuel staging to reduce NOX. An ULNB can achieve an emission rate of approximately 9
ppm, or 0.011 pounds per million British thermal units (lb/MMBtu), when used in conjunction with FGR. An
emission rate of 9ppm is established as BACT within R307-315 and is thus considered technically feasible for
the boilers evaluated under this section. Since the exact purpose of each unit evaluated under this section is
variable a further evaluation of a replacement burner has been conducted.
5.6.1.2.2 Flue Gas Recirculation
FGR is frequently used with both LNB and ULNB burners. FGR involves the recycling of post -combustion air
into the air-fuel mixture to reduce the available oxygen and help cool the burner flame. This control
technology is technically infeasible for retrofitting the existing units, as it has not been adapted to units of
this size.
21 UDAQ’s proposed rules are intended for new installations and not retrofitting existing boilers.
22 Neither R307-315 or 316 require the retrofit of existing units to meet the established standards.
Pepperidge Farm / Project Finn
Trinity Consultants 5-13
5.6.1.2.3 Selective Catalytic Reduction
SCR systems introduce a reducing agent such as ammonia or urea into the flue gas stream before a
catalyst. The catalyst reduces the temperature needed to initiate the reaction between the reducing agent
and NOX to form nitrogen and water. An SCR can achieve NOX reduction efficiencies between 70 and 90%.23
However, SCR systems are generally applied to natural-gas fired combustion equipment ranging in size from
50 to 8,000 MMBtu/hr.24 Due to the size of the existing units, SCR is considered technically infeasible.
5.6.1.2.4 Combustion Practices
The use of good combustion practices usually includes the following components: (1) proper fuel mixing in
the combustion zone; (2) high temperatures and low oxygen levels in primary zone; (3) Overall excess
oxygen levels high enough to complete combustion while maximizing unit efficiency, and (4) sufficient
residence time to complete combustion. Good combustion practices are accomplished through unit design
as it relates to time, temperature, and turbulence, and boiler operation as it relates to excess oxygen levels.
5.6.1.3 Steps 3-5 – Select BACT
Pepperidge Farm has installed units which met the most stringent emission standards possible at the time of
installation. In reviewing the proposed rules, R307-315 and 316, no retrofit requirements are established.
Additionally, UDAQ estimates a cost difference of approximately $19,000 for replacing a 3.34MMBtu
standard boiler burner with an Ultra-Low NOx boiler rated at 9 ppmv.25 This cost is economically infeasible.
As a result, Pepperidge Farm proposes the implementation of GCP as BACT.
5.6.2 Other Criteria Pollutants
Natural gas is the cleanest fossil fuel and is a highly efficient form of energy. It is composed mainly of
methane and its combustion results in less PM2.5, PM10, VOC, and SO2 in comparison to other fossil fuels.
Use natural gas for the proposed units is considered technically feasible. No other control technologies are
established for the control of these pollutants for process heaters, as a result Pepperidge proposes the use
of good combustion practices meets BACT.

7. NONATTAINMENT/MAINTENACE AREAS – OFFSETTING
As the Richmond Plant is an existing minor source modifying its approval order, applicability with R307 -403-
2(1) needs to be determined. R307-403 applies to major modifications resulting in emission increases in
excess of significant emission rates (SERs). As the PTE increase presented in Appendix B demonstrates,
PM2.5 and its precursors as defined in R307-403-1(4)(c) [i.e., SO2, NOX, VOCs, and NH3] are less than the
major source thresholds. Thus, this permitting action is a minor modification. As a result, the installation
associated with the Project Finn is not subject to the offset requirements of R307-403.

1. The subject rule is applicable to the P&G’s operations; however, is not associated with changes
described in this NOI application and is not addressed in the subsequent sections.
8.1.1 UAC R307-165: Emission Testing
Because the modification introduces emission units with established emission limitations specified in AO No.
DAQE-AN118410009-23, Pepperidge Farm will comply with the standards outlined in R307-165. This rule
establishes the requirements for stack testing of all such emission units. Pepperidge Farm will perform stack
testing according to the frequency, conditions, and reporting outlined in R307-165.
Pepperidge Farm / Project Finn
Trinity Consultants 8-5
8.1.2 UAC R307-230 Permits: NOX Emission Limits for Natural Gas-Fired Water
Heaters
UAC defines a “Natural gas-fired water heater” as “a device that heats water by the combustion of natural
gas to a thermostatically-controlled temperature not exceeding 210 degrees F (99 degrees C) for use
external to the vessel at pressures not exceeding 160 psig”.26 Because the steam generators associated with
the modification exceed 210 oF, the standards outlined in R307-230 are not applicable.
8.1.3 UAC R307-303: Commercial Cooking
Although the Richmond Bakery is located within Cache County and includes commercial cooking equipment,
there are no charbroilers on-site. As such, Pepperidge Farm does not apply to the standards outlined in
R307-303.
8.1.4 UAC R307-315: NOX Emission Limits for Natural Gas-Fired Boilers, Steam
Generators, and Process Heaters; 2.0-5.0 MMBtu
The Richmond Facility is located outside of the Salt Lake, Davis, Weber, and Tooele Counties and as such is
not applicable to rule R307-315.
8.1.5 UAC R307-316: NOX Emissions for Natural Gas-Fired Boilers Greater Than
5.0 MMBtu
Because the Richmond Facility is located outside of the Salt Lake, Davis, Weber, and Tooele Counties, R307-
316 is not applicable.
8.1.6 UAC R307-342: Adhesives and Sealants
Within the packaging step, Pepperidge Farm applies a solid adhesive which contains no VOC. As a result
R307-342 is not applicable.
8.1.7 UAC R307-406: Visibility
Project Finn is a minor modification at a minor source. Because of this, the Richmond Facility is exempt from
rule R307-406.
8.2 Federal Rules: National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), federal regulations found in Title
40 Part 61 and 63 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), are emission standards for HAPs. The Part 61
NESHAP standards do not apply to operations at the Richmond Facility.
Part 63 NESHAP are applicable to both major sources of HAPs (facilities that exceed the major source
thresholds of 10 tpy of a single HAP and 25 tpy of any combination of HAPs from stationary sources) as well
as non-major sources (termed “area sources”). Part 63 NESHAP apply to sources in specifically regulated
26 UAC R307-230 under definition of a Natural Gas-Fired Water Heater
Pepperidge Farm / Project Finn
Trinity Consultants 8-6
industrial source classifications (Clean Air Act Section 112(d)) or on a case -by-case basis (Clean Air Act
Section 112(g)) for facilities not regulated as a specific industrial source type.
The Richmond Plant is an area source under US EPA’s Part 63 NESHAP program. As such, this document
only addresses regulatory applicability for area sources and does not include standards for major sources.
8.2.1 Subpart A – General Provisions
40 CFR Part 63 Subpart A, General Provisions, contains national emission standards for HAPs defined in
Section 112(b) of the Clean Air Act. All affected sources which are subject to anothe r Part 63 NESHAP are
subject to the general provisions of NESHAP Subpart A, unless specifically excluded by the source specific
NEHSAP. Subpart A requires initial notification, performance testing, recordkeeping, and monitoring,
provides NESHAP reference methods, and mandates general control device requirements for all other
subparts. The following sections detailing each subpart requirements also includes requirements that are
referenced to Subpart A.
8.2.2 Subpart Q – Industrial Process Cooling Towers
Because Pepperidge Farm is permitted as a minor source under Utah AO No. DAQE-AN118410009-23, the
Richmond facility is exempt to the standards outlined in 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart Q.
8.3 Federal Rules: New Source Performance Standards
New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) require new, modified, or reconstructed sources to control
emissions to the level achievable by the best demonstrated technology as specified in the applicable
provisions. Any source subject to an NSPS is also subject to the general provisions of NSPS Subpart A,
except as specified by rule. There are no NSPS rules that apply to the proposed sources to be installed with
Project Finn at the Richmond Bakery.
