Project Proposal Minor Modification to Increase Sand Production and Install New Equipment Project Description Wildcat Sand, LLC has requested the following modifications: 1. Install a new 38 MMBtu/hr natural gas-fired burner and a 482 hp (360 kW) natural gas-fired engine 2. Increase production for each sand dryer to 1,314,000 tons per rolling 12-month period.
EMISSION IMPACT ANALYSIS Wildcat Sand, LLC conducted modeling on the 24-hour PM10 NAAQs and 1-hour NO2 NAAQs for all sources at the facility. The model results for the 24-hour PM10 NAAQs concentration were found to be 98.93% of the NAAQS. The model results for the 1-hour NO2 NAAQs concentration were found to be 67.61% of the NAAQS. The DAQ reviewed and accepted the results of the model. Detailed results of the modeling can be
found in the modeling memo DAQE-MN159980004-23.
The source is not required to model for other criteria pollutants and HAPs because the emission increases are
below the modeling thresholds per R307-410-4 and R307-410-5. [Last updated January 3, 2024]

Review of BACT for New/Modified Emission Units 1. BACT review regarding Dryer
Wildcat has proposed the installation of a new dryer. This will increase emissions from sand processing and combustion. Sand processing emissions will increase emissions of PM10 and PM2.5, combustion emissions will increase emissions of NOx, CO, VOCs, HAPs, SO2, PM10, and PM2.5.
To control PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from the dryer, the source has proposed the installation of a fabric filter baghouse with a certified emission concentration of 0.01 gr/scf, in tandem with a cyclone. The fabric filter baghouse will reduce both PM10 and PM2.5 emissions by 99%. This is the highest available control for particulate matter, therefore, no further analysis is necessary.
To control emissions of CO, VOCs, HAPs, and SO2, add on controls targeting these pollutants are limited for industrial dryers. Add-on CO or VOC devices such as oxidation catalysts or incinerators are not commercially available for dryers, and would not be technically or economically feasible to implement due to high incremental costs to install. Generally, these emissions come from incomplete combustion of fuel. Operating the dryer according to manufacturer specifications including regular maintenance will ensure more complete combustion and reduce emissions from the dryer. Use of natural gas as fuel ensures lower HAP and sulfur emissions compared to diesel fuel or other fuel oils. These best practices are considered BACT.
NOx emissions are the primary emission source from the dryers and are considered in depth. Wildcat has proposed the installation of a new dryer (Starjet) with low-NOx burners installed. Other options that provide further NOx reductions were considered, including a dryer with lower NOx emission rates (Megastar) and a low-NOx burner with flue gas recirculation (Megastar+FGR). Both Megastar burners would require a higher heat input rating due to lower dryer efficiency from the low-NOx burner, resulting in increased emissions from combustion. This increase would be necessary to maintain the production rates requested by Wildcat. Additionally, the Megastar burners would require a higher capital investment and significantly higher annual operating costs. The initial incremental capital cost would be $98,851 for the megastar burner, and $197,702 for the megastar with FGR. Wildcat estimates an annual operation and maintenance increase of $26,572 for semi-annual dryer tuning, and an increased cost in natural gas combustion of $40-48/hr. On the lower end, this gives a annualized cost of $367,067/year for operation and maintenance alone.
The low-NOx Megastar burner would reduce annual NOx emissions from 16.34 tons per year to 13.50 tons per year. Combining the 10-year annualized capital cost and the annual operation and maintenance costs, this comes to a cost effectiveness of $159,369/ton NOx removed annually. This is economically infeasible and is not considered further. The low-NOx Megastar burner with FGR would reduce annual NOx emissions from 16.34 tons per year to 6.18 tons per year. The annual cost effectiveness of this reduction is $38,060/ton of NOx
removed. This is economically infeasible and is not considered further. The low-NOx Starjet burner is accepted as BACT. BACT for the dryer will be: 1. Use of a baghouse/cyclone system with a certified emission guarantee of 0.01 gr/scf PM.
2. Installation of a low-NOx burner system guaranteed to emit less than 96 ppm of NOx 3. Manufacturer recommended maintenance, operation, and good combustion practices 4. Use of Natural Gas as Fuel
5. A 10% opacity limit. [Last updated January 17, 2024]
Engineer Review N159980004: Wildcat Sand, LLC - Uintah County Sand Processing Plant January 31, 2024 Page 5
2. BACT review regarding Haul Roads Wildcat Sand operates several haul roads throughout the facility, to account for product transfer through the process and shipping sand product in and out of the facility. Due to the increase in
sand production, increased fugitive emissions of PM10 and PM2.5 will result from increased traffic along the haul roads. To control emissions, the following options were considered in order of control effectiveness:
Paving Roads with Vacuum Sweeping and Watering - 95%
Paving Roads with Sweeping and Watering - 90% Chemical Suppressants and Watering - 85% Watering and Road Base - 80% Watering - 75%
Wildcat sand proposed the use of chemical suppressants and watering. To evaluate the option of more stringent controls, DAQ evaluated the impacts of upgrading to paving with regular vacuum sweeping and watering. The initial cost to pave the haul roads is estimated to be over $1,000,000. Assuming this is the lowest possible cost, and without considering annual repair and maintenance costs, as well as costs
for vacuum sweeping and watering, this number can be annualized to $142,380/year. This is calculated using a 10-year life span and a 7% interest rate, giving as capital recovery factor of 0.14238. The total annual emissions from all haul roads is estimated to be 12.90 tons of PM10 per year. The total emission reductions for paving, watering, and vacuum sweeping the roads would be 8.6 tons per year annually, giving a minimum annual cost effectiveness of $16,556/ton PM10 removed.
Paving with sweeping and watering would require the same capital investment and would only
reduce emissions by 4.3 tons per year, effectively doubling the cost effectiveness. These cost estimates do not consider any annual maintenance costs, which would be higher than average due to the nature of the haul road's locations and truck traffic over the haul roads, or the costs of
bringing in equipment to perform regular sweeping and watering. Paving would also require a portable asphalt plant be sent to the facility, increasing emissions due to asphalt production. For all of these reasons, paving the haul roads is considered economically infeasible.
Chemical suppressants and watering are accepted as the most stringent remaining control
techniques.
BACT for control of PM10 and PM2.5 from the haul roads at the sand processing plant will be the application of chemical suppressants and watering as needed to maintain an opacity of limit of 20%.
[Last updated December 22, 2023] 3. BACT review regarding Storage Piles Fugitive PM10 and PM2.5 emissions occur when wind blows over storage piles of aggregate and sand kept onsite. Control options include water sprays, partial enclosures with water sprays, and compacting material with water sprays. Compacting material is technically infeasible for the
source due to the continuous nature of the process. Installing enclosures is not feasible due to the mobile nature of the process and facility. Storage piles will be moved regularly and material will
Engineer Review N159980004: Wildcat Sand, LLC - Uintah County Sand Processing Plant January 31, 2024 Page 6
be continuously moved in and out of the storage piles. The source evaluated water sprays with a control efficiency of 50% as a technically feasible option. These are cost effective and technically
feasible to implement, and are BACT for storage piles at the facility. BACT for control of PM10 and PM2.5 from the storage piles is the application of water to maintain opacity at 20% or below. [Last updated January 23, 2024] 4. BACT review regarding Material Handling Wildcat Sand will increase the total amount of sand processed annually, which will increase fugitive PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from handling wet and dry sand. To control emissions from the wet sand process, the following controls were considered in order of control effectiveness: Enclosures venting to a baghouse - 99% - 99.9 % reduction Enclosures with water sprays - 87.5% reduction
Water Sprays - 75% reduction Enclosures - 50% reduction Due to the number of conveyor transfer points and material handling emission points, installation of enclosures venting to one or several baghouses would not be technically or economically
feasible for the operation due to the need for several baghouses or installation of venting systems capable of servicing all fugitive emission points at the plant. The addition of these baghouses would require alteration of the wet and dry processes inherent to the production process, and therefore, this option is no longer considered. Wildcat Sand proposes the installation of enclosures with water sprays for the wet plant. These measures are accepted as BACT. For the Dry plant material handling operations, the sand material is required to operate in a dry process, and therefore cannot use water sprays. The material handling emissions at the J & H
screen will be controlled by a baghouse with a grain loading rate of 0.01 gr/scf. This is the most stringent control available and is accepted as BACT. BACT for control of PM10 and PM2.5 from material handling operations will be the installation of enclosures and water sprays at the wet plant to maintain an opacity limit of 7%, and the installation of a baghouse to control the dry process screens with a emission concentration of 0.01 gr/scf. [Last updated December 22, 2023]
8. BACT review regarding Stationary Engine The 360 kW natural gas engine produces NOx, CO, VOC, SO2, PM10 and PM2.5 emissions due to combustion.
The proposed engine will be compliant with the following NSPS JJJJ standards: NOx: 1.0 g/hp-hr CO: 2.0 g/hp-hr VOC: 0.7 g/hp-hr These certified emission rates are considered BACT for the above criteria pollutants from the engine. Further add-on controls would significantly increase operating costs for small amounts of
emission reductions. For example an SCR is estimated to cost an initial investment of $2,127,689. At a control effectiveness of 85%, it could remove 3.95 tons per year annually. Over a lifespan of 20 years, the cost effectiveness is estimated to be $67,908/ton of NOx removed. This is not considered cost effective, therefore, add-on controls are considered economically infeasible. To control emissions from SO2, PM10, and PM2.5, the natural gas engine can use good combustion practices, which include operating the engine according to manufacturer recommendations, and
Engineer Review N159980004: Wildcat Sand, LLC - Uintah County Sand Processing Plant January 31, 2024 Page 7
regularly scheduled maintenance to ensure maximum conversion of fuel to CO2 and water. These measures are BACT for the engine.
BACT for the stationary 360 kW engine will be an emission limit of 1.0 g/hp-hr NOx, 2.0 g/hp-hr CO, 0.7 g/hp-hr VOC, and an opacity limit of 10%. [Last updated January 3, 2024]

REVIEWER COMMENTS 1. Comment regarding Emission Estimations: Emissions are generated from the following sources and estimation methods:
The facility will operate 8760 hours per year.
Material Handling: For two instances of material handling, an input of 300 tph, 2,628,000 tons of
sand material per year, 1 transfer point, average wind speed of 8mph, 5% moisture content were used. For the other four instances, an input of 150 tph, 1,314,000 tons per year, 1 transfer point, average wind speed of 8mph, and 5% moisture content were used. Source submitted DAQ "Material
Handling" Spreadsheet from DAQ website for each instance of material handling.
Sand Dryers: Emissions factors were determined from AP-42 Section Tables 1.4-1 through 1.4-4. The existing dryer is estimated to consume 0.041 MMscf/hr of natural gas, the new dryer will consume 0.037 MMscf/hr. The dryers will both emit NOx at a rate of 5.4 lb/hr and CO at a rate of 5.7 lb/hr, determined from Tarmac dryer data sheet. PM10 and PM 2.5 emissions determined from manufacturer guarantee of 0.01 gr/scf, and a exhaust temperature of 210 F to give an ascf figure of 0.0079 gr/ascf for the first dryer and 0.007 gr/ascf for the second dryer.
Roads: UDAQ "Haul Roads" emissions spreadsheet was used. AP-42 13.2.2 & DAQ Haul Road Guidance are used to determine emissions. Haul road #1: Input of 150 tph, and 1,314,000 tons per year used, empty truck weight of 22 tons, and 43 ton weight load. Haul road length is 662 feet, with chemical suppressants and watering used for control. Haul road #2: Input of 300 tph, 2,628,000 tpy, same truck weight and load weights used, with a haul road length of 1,151 feet. This road is paved and uses watering and vacuum sweeping. Loader route #1: Same inputs as haul road #1, with haul road length of 1,201 feet, using chemical suppressants and watering. Loader route #2: Same inputs as haul road #2, with a haul road length of 1,563 feet, using chemical suppressants and watering. Loader route #3: Same inputs as haul road #1, with haul road length of 1,069 feet, using chemical suppressants and watering.
Material Processing Equipment: UDAQ "Aggregate Processing Equipment" emissions spreadsheet was used. AP-42 Table 11.19.2-2 is used to determine emissions. Inputs of 300 tph and 2,628,000 tpy were used. One crusher, three screens, and 14 conveyor transfer points were used. An additional three conveyor transfer points were used to determine emissions from the storage silos, and four conveyor transfer points for the dry plant #2 conveyors.
Storage Piles: UDAQ "Storage Piles" emissions spread sheet was used. Storage pile #1 used an input
Engineer Review N159980004: Wildcat Sand, LLC - Uintah County Sand Processing Plant January 31, 2024 Page 17
of 1 acre, storage pile #2 used an input of 2 acres, storage pile #3 used an input of 3 acres, and bag house waste pile #1 used 1 an input of 1 acre.
Disturbed Area: A total area of 14 acres was used as an input to determine emissions from disturbed area. UDAQ "Disturbed Ground" emissions spread sheet was used to determine emissions. Generator: The generator is rated at 360 kW or 482 hp and uses natural gas as fuel. UDAQ "Natural Gas-Fired Engines" emissions spreadsheet was used to determine emissions, using an input of 8760
hours and "4-stroke lean burn". NOx emissions were calculated at 2 g/hp-hr and CO emissions were calculated at 4 g/hp-hr, Storage Tanks: emissions were determined from AP-42 Chapter 7 with a 154,000-gallon annual throughput and 5,000-gallon capacity. The tank has a length of 27 feet and a diameter of 8 feet.
Equations 1-4, 1-13, 1-14, 1-20, 1-21, 1-26, 1-27, and 1-35 are used to determine standing storage losses and working losses. Table 7.1-7 was used to determine inputs for the equation 1-27. [Last updated January 3, 2024] 4. Comment regarding NSPS and MACT applicability: 40 CFR 60 (NSPS) Subpart Kb applies to storage vessels with a capacity greater than or equal to 75
cubic meters that store VOLs (Volatile Organic Liquids). The tank in the AO is less 75 cubic meters (19,800 gallons), with a capacity of 5,000 gallons. Therefore, Subpart Kb does not apply to this facility.
40 CFR 60 (NSPS) Subpart OOO applies to affected facilities in fixed or portable nonmetallic
mineral processing plants. The plant will operate a crusher and screening operation as defined by this subpart and processes a material listed as a nonmetallic mineral in this subpart. Therefore, Subpart OOO applies to this facility. Opacity requirements from this subpart are included in the AO
requirements. Initial testing required by this subpart for all affected facilities are listed in requirements. 40 CFR 60 (NSPS) Subpart UUU applies to each calciner and dryer at a mineral processing plant. Industrial sand is a listed mineral for which processing operations are subject to this regulation. Therefore, NSPS Subpart UUU applies to the dryers at this facility. This subpart requires stack testing for particulate matter from each dryer. 40 CFR 60 (NSPS) Subpart JJJJ applies to owner/operators and manufactures of stationary spark ignition (SI) internal combustion engines (ICE). The engine onsite is a SI ICE and was purchased after July 1, 2008 and is greater than 25 hp. Therefore, Subpart JJJJ applies to the generator.
40 CFR 63 (MACT) subpart ZZZZ applies to owners/operators of stationary RICE at a major or area
sources of HAP emissions. The facility is an area HAP source and the station operates a stationary RICE as defined in this subpart, so Subpart ZZZZ applies to the generator. Compliance with this subpart is met through compliance with NSPS subpart JJJJ. [Last updated December 28, 2023]
5. Comment regarding Title V: 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.
Engineer Review N159980004: Wildcat Sand, LLC - Uintah County Sand Processing Plant January 31, 2024 Page 18
4. Any Title IV affected source. This facility is not a major source and is not a Title IV source. The facility is subject to 40 CFR 60 (NSPS) and 40 CFR 63 (MACT) regulations. It is not subject to 40 CFR 61 (NESHAP) regulations. NSPS subpart JJJJ, and MACT subpart ZZZZ exempt a source from Title V requirements, but NSPS OOO and UUU do not. Therefore, Title V is applicable to the facility as an area source. There is no requirement for this source to apply for an initial Title V operating permit under current UDAQ and
EPA rules. The source will be charged applicable Title V fees and Title V funds may be used for inventory and compliance inspections of this source. [Last updated January 3, 2024]

Project Proposal Minor Modification to DAQE-AN159980003-21 Increase Sand Production and Install New Equipment Project Description Wildcat Sand, LLC has requested the following modifications: 1. Install a new 38 MMBtu/hr natural gas-fired dryer 2. Increase production for the existing sand dryer and new dryer to 2,628,000 tons per rolling 12-
month period. EMISSION IMPACT ANALYSIS
Wildcat Sand, LLC conducted modeling on the 24-hour PM10 NAAQs and 1-hour NO2 NAAQs for all sources at the facility. The model results for the 24-hour PM10 NAAQs concentration were found to be 98.5% of the NAAQS. The model results for the 1-hour NO2 NAAQs concentration were found to be 67.61% of the
NAAQS. The DAQ reviewed and accepted the results of the model. Detailed results of the modeling can be found in the modeling memo DAQE-MN159980004A-24. No restrictions on operations were required as a result of the modeling. The source is not required to model for other criteria pollutants and HAPs because the emission increases are below the modeling thresholds per R307-410-4 and R307-410-5.
Engineer Review N159980004: Wildcat Sand, LLC - Uintah County Sand Processing Plant October 31, 2024 Page 3
Modeling done for the previous AO showed the source was at 95% of the NAAQS for PM10. This modification doubles the emission rate but does not exceed the modeling thresholds, showing the highest concentration to be
98.93% of the NAAQS. The model was reviewed by DAQ and accepted. The most recent model used uses a more recent 5 years of meteorological data collected at Vernal, as well as more recent PM10 background data collected at Roosevelt, as opposed to the Vernal PM10 background data used in 2021. This model data was evaluated to be a better fit for meteorological conditions at the source. While the impact from PM10 sources does double in the model, the highest background values in the data at the time of the 6th highest value were close to half the value found in the data used previously. Because the new data is a better fit for the source and PM10 impacts from the source are evaluated correctly in the model, the model was accepted. [Last updated September 13, 2024]

Review of BACT for New/Modified Emission Units 1. BACT review regarding Dryer
Wildcat has proposed to install a new fluidized bed dryer. This will increase emissions from sand processing and combustion. Sand processing emissions will increase emissions of PM10 and PM2.5, combustion emissions will increase emissions of NOx, CO, VOCs, HAPs, SO2, PM10, and PM2.5.
To control PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from the dryer, the source has proposed to install a fabric filter baghouse with a certified emission concentration of 0.01 gr/scf, in tandem with a cyclone. The fabric filter baghouse will reduce both PM10 and PM2.5 emissions by 99%. This is the highest available control for particulate matter; therefore, this is selected as BACT.
To control emissions of CO, VOCs, HAPs, and SO2, there are few commercially available add-on controls targeting these pollutants. The dryer is natural gas-fired and will emit 47.30 tpy of CO, 17.74 tpy VOCs, 0.10 tpy SO2, and 0.3063 tpy of all HAPs. For the highest emitting pollutants, this would be a rate of 10.8 lbs/hr for CO and 4.05 lbs per hour for VOCs. Potential controls include catalyst control technologies such as SCR or oxidizers. However, these are not commercially available for dryers. DAQ is not aware of any published, permitted, or publicly available examples of sand dryers utilizing catalyst control or oxidizer technologies, making them technically infeasible to implement. Generally, emissions of CO, and VOCs come from incomplete combustion of fuel. Operating the dryer according to manufacturer specifications including regular maintenance will ensure more complete combustion and reduce emissions from the dryer. The
estimated emissions above were determined using manufacturer data, thus operating according to these best practices will ensure the equipment operates at the specified emission rates or lower. DAQ researched both BACT clearinghouse searches and permits issued for sand dryers in other states such as Arkansas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. DAQ could not find any examples of sand dryers permitted with manufacturer specific data, and could not verify a lower emission rate or control technology that could be implemented to reduce CO and VOC emissions from this equipment. While these other permits were issued showing lower hourly emission rates for CO and VOCs, these were made with estimates using AP-42 Section 1.4 and 1.5, and did not use manufacturer specific data. Therefore, DAQ concluded there are no other technologies that can be implemented to lower the emission rates on the equipment for these pollutants, therefore, these
best practices are considered BACT.
[Last updated October 24, 2024]
2. BACT review regarding Dryer Pt. 2 Controls for NOx emissions from the dryers are considered below. Wildcat has proposed an emission limit of 80 ppm NOx for the dryer. To further reduce emissions, a low-NOx burner with
flue gas recirculation (Megastar+FGR) was considered. The megastar burner would require a higher heat input rating due to lower dryer efficiency from the low-NOx burner, resulting in increased emissions from combustion. This increase would be necessary to maintain the production rates requested by Wildcat. Additionally, the Megastar burner would require a higher capital investment and significantly higher annual operating costs. The initial incremental capital cost would be $197,702 for the megastar with FGR, which gives an annualized capital cost of $28,149/year. Wildcat estimates an annual operation and maintenance increase of $26,572 for semi-annual dryer tuning, and an increased cost in natural gas combustion of $40-48/hr. On the
lower end, this gives a annualized cost of $367,067/year for operation and maintenance alone.
Engineer Review N159980004: Wildcat Sand, LLC - Uintah County Sand Processing Plant October 31, 2024 Page 6
The low-NOx Megastar burner with FGR would reduce annual NOx emissions from 16.34 tons per year to 6.18 tons per year. The annual cost effectiveness of this reduction is $38,060/ton of NOx
removed. This is economically infeasible and is not considered further. DAQ confirmed no other lower emitting dryer burners were available for purchase. BACT for the dryer will be: 1. Use of a baghouse/cyclone system with a certified emission guarantee of 0.01 gr/scf PM.
2. Installation of a natural gas burner system guaranteed to emit 80 ppm or less of NOx 3. Manufacturer recommended maintenance, operation, and good combustion practices 4. A 10% opacity limit. [Last updated October 24, 2024] 3. BACT review regarding Haul Roads Wildcat Sand operates several haul roads throughout the facility for product transfer through the
process and shipping sand product in and out of the facility. Due to the increase in sand production, fugitive emissions of PM10 and PM2.5 will increase from increased traffic along the haul roads. To control emissions, the following options were considered in order of control effectiveness: Paving Roads with Vacuum Sweeping and Watering - 95% Paving Roads with Sweeping and Watering - 90% Chemical Suppressants and Watering - 85% Watering and Road Base - 80% Watering - 75% One main haul road at the facility is already paved. This road is proposed to use vacuum sweeping and watering. As this is the most stringent control available, it is accepted as BACT.
BACT for control of PM10 and PM2.5 from the paved haul roads at the sand processing plant will be the use of vacuum sweeping and watering as needed to maintain an opacity of limit of 20%.
For the other unpaved haul roads, Wildcat proposed the use of chemical suppressants and watering.
To evaluate the option of more stringent controls, DAQ evaluated the impacts of upgrading to paving with regular vacuum sweeping and watering. For the unpaved haul roads, the initial cost to pave the haul roads is estimated to be over $1,000,000. Assuming this is the lowest possible cost, and without considering annual repair and maintenance costs, as well as costs for vacuum sweeping and watering, this number can be annualized to $142,380/year. This is calculated using a 10-year life span and a 7% interest rate, giving as capital recovery factor of 0.14238. The total annual emissions from all haul roads is
estimated to be 13.24 tons of PM10 per year. The total emission reductions for paving, watering, and vacuum sweeping the roads would be 8.83 tons per year annually, giving a minimum annual cost effectiveness of $16,125/ton PM10 removed.
Paving with sweeping and watering would require the same capital investment and would only
reduce emissions by 4.41 tons per year, effectively doubling the cost effectiveness. These cost estimates do not consider any annual maintenance costs. Paving the haul roads is considered economically infeasible. Chemical suppressants and watering are accepted as the most stringent remaining control techniques for the unpaved haul roads.
BACT for control of PM10 and PM2.5 from the unpaved haul roads at the sand processing plant will
Engineer Review N159980004: Wildcat Sand, LLC - Uintah County Sand Processing Plant October 31, 2024 Page 7
be the application of chemical suppressants and watering as needed to maintain an opacity of limit of 20%.
[Last updated October 24, 2024] 4. BACT review regarding Storage Piles Fugitive PM10 and PM2.5 emissions occur when wind blows over storage piles of aggregate and sand kept onsite. Control options include water sprays and partial enclosures with water sprays. Installing enclosures is not feasible due to the mobile nature of the process and facility. Storage piles will be moved regularly and material will be continuously moved in and out of the storage piles. The source evaluated water sprays with a control efficiency of 50% as a technically feasible option. These are cost effective and technically feasible to implement, and are BACT for storage piles at the facility. BACT for control of PM10 and PM2.5 from the storage piles is the application of water to maintain
opacity at 20% or below. [Last updated October 24, 2024] 5. BACT review regarding Sand Processing
Wildcat Sand will increase the total amount of sand processed annually, which will increase fugitive PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from handling wet and dry sand. This will also include the processing of sand through screens and a crusher. To control emissions from the wet sand process,
the following controls were considered in order of control effectiveness: Enclosures venting to a baghouse - 99% - 99.9 % reduction Enclosures with water sprays - 87.5% reduction Water Sprays - 75% reduction
Enclosures - 50% reduction
Due to the number of conveyor transfer points and material handling emission points, installation of enclosures venting to one or several baghouses would not be technically or economically feasible for the operation. The addition of these baghouses would require alteration of the wet and dry processes inherent to the production process, and therefore, this option is no longer considered. Wildcat Sand proposes the installation of enclosures with water sprays for the wet plant. All of the wash screens, crusher and conveyors at the wet plant will operate with water sprays installed.
These measures are accepted as BACT.
For the Dry plant material handling operations, the sand material is required to operate in a dry
process, and therefore cannot use water sprays. The material handling emissions at the dry screens will be controlled by a baghouse with a grain loading rate of 0.01 gr/scf. This control is accepted as BACT.
BACT for control of PM10 and PM2.5 from material handling operations will be the installation of
enclosures and water sprays at the wet plant to maintain an opacity limit of 7% for the screens and conveyor transfer points, and 12% for the crusher. At the dry plant, BACT will be the installation of a baghouse to control the dry process screens with an emission concentration of 0.01 gr/scf and a 10% opacity limit. [Last updated October 24, 2024] 6. BACT review regarding Crushers and Screens The facility operates several wash screens and crushers at the facility. Sand product is processed through this equipment, generating emissions of particulate matter.
The plant operates both a dry and wet process, and different controls are necessary at each process
Engineer Review N159980004: Wildcat Sand, LLC - Uintah County Sand Processing Plant October 31, 2024 Page 8
due to the nature of the processing plant. At the wet process, all sand material has moisture applied which reduces emissions of fugitive dust. The wet plant operates three screens and a crusher. For
all screens and the crusher operating at the wet plant, wet suppression is inherent in the process and is technically feasible to implement. This process operates in the open without enclosures. Enclosures could be installed to allow for a baghouse to capture emissions, however, this would alter the wet plant process as it would introduce an airflow current to the wet sand before it is sorted by the crushers and screens and sent the drying process. This would reduce moisture and cause changes to the dryers later in the process. Therefore, this option is considered infeasible. BACT for control of PM10 and PM2.5 from the wet plant screens and crushers will be the use of wet suppression to maintain an opacity limit of 12% for the crushers and 7% for the screens. The dry plant operates three vibrating screens. All three screens will be installed with an enclosure leading to a central baghouse. The baghouse will capture all emissions from the dry screens, and
has a manufacturer guarantee for an emission concentration of 0.01 gr/dscf. These measures represent BACT for the dry screens at the facility. BACT for control of PM10 and PM2.5 from the dry process screens will be the installation of a baghouse certified to meet an emission limit of 0.01 gr/dscf or lower and a 7% opacity limit.

REVIEWER COMMENTS
1. Comment regarding Emission Estimations: Emissions are generated from the following sources and estimation methods: The facility will operate 8760 hours per year. Sand Dryers: The existing dryer is estimated to consume 0.041 MMscf/hr of natural gas, the new
dryer will consume 0.037 MMscf/hr. The old dryer emits NOx at 96 ppm, while the new one will emit it at a 80 ppm rate. This concentration is converted to an lb/MMBtu emission factor and then multiplied by the dryer heat input to determine the final emission rate in lbs/hr. The rotary sand
dryers will emit CO at a rate of 5.7 lb/hr, determined from Tarmac dryer data sheet. The new dryer CO and VOC emissions were estimated using manufacturer data. Manufacturer data gave a 0.072lb CO/ton of aggregate processed emission factor, and 0.027 lb VOC/ton of aggregate. PM10 and PM
2.5 emissions determined from manufacturer guarantee of 0.01 gr/scf, and a exhaust temperature of 210 F to give an ascf figure of 0.0079 gr/ascf for the first dryer and 0.007 gr/ascf for the second dryer. The dryer air flow rate is multiplied by the gr/ascf figure to determine the mass flow rate, and
is converted into lbs/hr. Because the new dryer is a fluidized bed dryer instead of a rotary dryer, this dryer utilized a higher air flow rate of 50,000 acfm, compared to an air flow rate of 20,955 acfm for the rotary dryer. This higher flow rate for the fluid bed dryer is the cause of the higher estimated emissions of PM10. Emissions factors for all other pollutants were determined from AP-42 Section Tables 1.4-1 through 1.4-4. Roads: AP-42 13.2.2 & DAQ Haul Road Guidance are used to determine emissions. "Haul Road Final Product (HRLDOUT): Inputs of 300 tph, 2,628,000 tpy, an empty truck weight of 22 tons, and
a 43 ton weight load were used, with a haul road length of 1,151 feet. This road is paved and uses watering and vacuum sweeping. This is the main haul road, where incoming shipments of sand are taken into the facility and dropped off at the wet plant. The rest of the haul road is used for shipping
Engineer Review N159980004: Wildcat Sand, LLC - Uintah County Sand Processing Plant October 31, 2024 Page 20
finished product out of the facility. This haul road connects to the next haul road, HRLOAD. Haul Road - Stockpile #3 (HRLOAD): Inputs of 150 tph, and 1,314,000 tons per year, an empty truck
weight of 22 tons, and a 43 ton weight load were used, with a haul road length of 1,201 feet, using chemical suppressants and watering. Incoming shipments of sand are driven from HRLDOUT to HRLOAD, and the sand is dropped off for processing at the wet plant. The haul road follows a loop before merging back with HRLDOUT. Haul Road - Wet Plant (HRWIP): Inputs of 150 tons per hour, 1,314,000 tons per year, an empty truck weight of 20 tons and a 10 ton load weight were used, with a haul road length of 400 feet, using chemical suppressants and watering. This is the route from storage pile #3 to storage pile #2. After product is deposited at storage pile #2, it is moved via HRDRY to be dried and turned into finished sand product. Haul Road - Dry Plant(HRDRY1 and HRDRY2): Inputs of 150 tons per hour, 1,314,000 tons per year, an empty truck weight of 20 tons and a 10 ton load weight were used with a haul road length of 550 and 200 feet respectively, using chemical suppressants and watering. These are two sections of haul roads between the wet plant exit
and the dry plant entrance. After product exits the dry plant, it is hauled out on HRLDOUT. [Last updated October 1, 2024]
2. Comment regarding Emission Estimations Pt. 2: Material Handling: For two instances of material handling, an input of 300 tph, 2,628,000 tons of sand material per year, 1 transfer point, average wind speed of 8mph, 5% moisture content were
used. These are labeled "Bucket Elevator" and "Loading Wet Plant." For the other three instances, an input of 150 tph, 1,314,000 tons per year, 1 transfer point, average wind speed of 8mph, and 5% moisture content were used. These are labeled "Loading Dry Plant #1" "Loading Dry Plant #2" and "Loading Stockpile #3". AP-42 13.2.4.3 Equation #1 to calculate haul road emissions. Material Processing Equipment: AP-42 Table 11.19.2-2 is used to determine emissions. Inputs of 300 tph and 2,628,000 tpy were used. One crusher, three screens, and 14 conveyor transfer points were used. An additional three conveyor transfer points were used to determine emissions from the
storage silos, and four conveyor transfer points for the dry plant #2 conveyors.
Storage Piles: Storage pile #1 used an input of 1 acre, storage pile #2 used an input of 2 acres, storage pile #3 used an input of 3 acres, and bag house waste pile #1 used 1 an input of 1 acre. Generator: The generator is rated at 415 hp, and uses natural gas as fuel. Uncontrolled emission factors from AP-42 Tables 3.2-1 through 3.2-3 for 4-Stroke Lean Burn Engines were used to estimate emissions for VOCs, SO2, PM, CO2e, and HAPs. Emission rates from NSPS JJJJ Table 1
were used for Non-Emergency SI Lean Burn Natural Gas and LPG engines for NOx, and CO emissions. These give emission rates of 1 g/hp-hr NOx and 2 g/hp-hr CO. Emissions for this engine were recalculated in this modification, which resulted in changes to emission and HAP totals for the engine. Disturbed Area: A total area of 9 acres was used as an input to determine emissions from disturbed area. Emission factors from AP-42 Table 11.9-4 were used to determine emissions from the disturbed area. This is a net decrease from the last approval order, so no BACT analysis is necessary for this source of emissions. Storage Tanks: emissions were determined from AP-42 Chapter 7 with a 154,000-gallon annual throughput and 5,000-gallon capacity. The tank has a length of 27 feet and a diameter of 8 feet. Equations 1-4, 1-13, 1-14, 1-20, 1-21, 1-26, 1-27, and 1-35 are used to determine standing storage
losses and working losses. Table 7.1-7 was used to determine inputs for the equation 1-27. [Last updated August 29, 2024]
Engineer Review N159980004: Wildcat Sand, LLC - Uintah County Sand Processing Plant October 31, 2024 Page 21
3. Comment regarding NSPS and MACT applicability: 40 CFR 60 (NSPS) Subpart Kb applies to storage vessels with a capacity greater than or equal to 75
cubic meters that store VOLs (Volatile Organic Liquids). The tank in the AO is less 75 cubic meters (19,800 gallons), with a capacity of 5,000 gallons. Therefore, Subpart Kb does not apply to this facility.
40 CFR 60 (NSPS) Subpart OOO applies to affected facilities in fixed or portable nonmetallic
mineral processing plants. The plant will operate a crusher and screening operation as defined by this subpart and processes a material listed as a nonmetallic mineral in this subpart. Therefore, Subpart OOO applies to this facility. Opacity requirements from this subpart are included in the AO requirements. Initial testing required by this subpart for all affected facilities are listed in requirements. Periodic inspections for water sprays are also included. 40 CFR 60 (NSPS) Subpart UUU applies to each calciner and dryer at a mineral processing plant. Industrial sand is a listed mineral for which processing operations are subject to this regulation. Therefore, NSPS Subpart UUU applies to the dryers at this facility. This subpart requires stack testing for particulate matter from each dryer. 40 CFR 60 (NSPS) Subpart JJJJ applies to owner/operators and manufactures of stationary spark ignition (SI) internal combustion engines (ICE). The engine onsite is a SI ICE and was purchased after July 1, 2008 and is greater than 25 hp. Therefore, Subpart JJJJ applies to the generator.
40 CFR 63 (MACT) subpart ZZZZ applies to owners/operators of stationary RICE at a major or area
sources of HAP emissions. The facility is an area HAP source and the station operates a stationary RICE as defined in this subpart, so Subpart ZZZZ applies to the generator. Compliance with this subpart is met through compliance with NSPS subpart JJJJ. [Last updated July 3, 2024] 4. Comment regarding Title V: 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 facility is not a major source and is not a Title IV source. The facility is subject to 40 CFR 60 (NSPS) and 40 CFR 63 (MACT) regulations. It is not subject to 40 CFR 61 (NESHAP) regulations.
NSPS subpart JJJJ, and MACT subpart ZZZZ exempt a source from Title V requirements, but NSPS OOO and UUU do not. Therefore, Title V is applicable to the facility as an area source. There is no requirement for this source to apply for an initial Title V operating permit under current UDAQ and
EPA rules. The source will be charged applicable Title V fees and Title V funds may be used for inventory and compliance inspections of this source. [Last updated July 3, 2024]
5. Comment regarding Haul Road explanation: There are 5 main haul roads/loader routes at the facility. The names for each haul road are taken from submissions provided by Wildcat. Loader route #3 (HRLOAD) is used by incoming trucks shipping sand into the facility. The shipments of sand are taken to the wet plant loading area. Product is processed in the wet plant and deposited into storage piles #2 and #3. Loader route #2
Engineer Review N159980004: Wildcat Sand, LLC - Uintah County Sand Processing Plant October 31, 2024 Page 22
(HRWIP) is a haul road between wet plant storage piles #2 and #3, and is used to move product to storage pile #3 where it continues along the process. Because product that has been processed in the
wet plant is moved to these two storage piles equally, the haul road between them will only ever require half the total tonnage of the main haul road. Product is transferred via two sections of haul roads (HRDRY1 and HRDRY 2) from the wet plant storage pile #3 to the dry plant entrance. The sand is processed through the dryers at this stage and deposited to the final product area. The final product is shipped out via loader route #1 (HRLDOUT), which is a paved road that exits the facility. The source provided documentation showing the haul load sizes are allowed by UDOT through the shipping company associated with Wildcat. An aerial view of the haul roads at the facility was also provided by Wildcat and is included in the source file. [Last updated October 24, 2024] 6. Comment regarding Dryer emissions and stack testing: The new sand dryer is being permitted with emission rates higher than the previous sand dryer
permitted at the facility. This is due to higher airflow rates inherent to the design of the new fluid bed dryer, and due to the use of manufacturer specific data providing an emission factor to estimate CO and VOC emissions. Other sand dryer have been permitted at other agencies using estimations
from AP-42 chapters 1.4 and 1.5, which give a lower estimated potential to emit. For that reason, stack testing requirements were added to the dryers to ensure the actual emission rates are under the higher estimates for these pollutants. [Last updated October 24, 2024]

Thanks for getting these back to me. I'll make sure to look at it and if there's any other changes I need to make I'll try to have them done or discussed with Alan the

Dylan,
We are providing some brief comments as a ached in Word tracked changes, comments, and notes below. We have not seen a calendar invite yet for next
Tuesday, so we will send a Teams mee ng for 3pm. If that me does not work for you and Alan, please propose another me.
Notes:
Wildcat’s mailing address is updated.
II.B.1.a is clarified to 2,628,000 tons produced or dried. There is no limit on wash plant processing, so we understand the annual/12 mo. roll tonnage
limit to be aimed at the dryers and dry plant.
II.B.5.c is commented for both dryers.
Dryer 1 was not modified or included in the NOI; we are curious if the limits added on combus on gases were inten onal.
Dryer 2 limits for CO and VOC seem rather unnecessary on a number of levels given that they are vendor guaranteed rates, and they pose no
risk (or harm) from a source classifica on level or ambient air impact concern.
We can be free to discuss the bulleted notes above and a ached comments any me in advance of next Tuesday’s mee ng with Alan. Feel free to give me a
call or reach out.

Eric,
Here is an unofficial draft of where I'm at currently. Again, this hasn't been signed off on by management as of yet but this version has addressed a number of the
comments the last review gave. Alan isn't in until October 1st, I'm free most of the day except 10 AM, but I know Alan's a bit busier, I think he may be open 3 or 4
PM on that day depending on how much he has to catch up on.

I should be able to meet Friday too if you can't make it Wednesday. Unfortunately I still haven't gotten Alan's sign off so we won't be able to get a draft to you
this week. What I was referring to was the next draft I'd send to Alan. I can wait for Wednesday afternoon to send the next version out to Alan if you'd like.

Both mee ngs could be avoided if we see a dra for signature. It sounds like one should be coming today or tomorrow.

Dylan,
So, I believe this was asked and answered already. The incorrect manufacturer ppm data you are referencing below for CO and VOC was
corrected in the record several months back. That said, if you want to use the lbs/ton of aggregate data, I suppose that is okay.

The spreadsheet you sent “Copy of 03 Sand Dryer 2_v5” is fine. Let’s go with that for sake of me.
Can we see the final dra permit for review and signature?
The last dra permit we saw was February 7. We are almost at eight months of management review. We would like to review the next version
and move to public no ce.

Subject: Re: Wildcat Sand Informa on Request 7/9/24
Eric,
I ran into an issue with the dryer calculations in the last review I got back. Currently the new dryer CO emissions are calculated using AP-42 emission
factors, however, because the manufacturer provided emission data for CO and VOCs, that is the most accurate information we have for the dryer and
we should be calculating emissions based on that data. The manufacturer gave an estimate of 450 ppm CO as well as a "0.072 lbs/ton of aggregate"
emission factor, and 105 ppm VOC and 0.027lbs/ton of aggregate for VOCs. Based on that the new dryer should have higher CO and VOC emissions.

Because of the 80 ppm NOx limit we should adjust the NOx emission calculations down as well. I've attached a spreadsheet that has a potential
example of how the emissions could be adjusted. If you have any more specific data or an argument for what the emission rate should be for CO and
VOCs please let me know, because I know the older dryer used manufacturer data to calculate CO emissions as well.

Dylan,
There are no updates to submit for Wildcat’s BACT. As the DAQ has it, we already evaluated an 80 ppm NOx from the
dryer burner, and it did not come out as economically feasible on a cost per ton basis. That said, the DAQ believes 80
ppm to be on par with similar dryers (not fluid bed) at similar sites.
Wildcat is okay accep ng the 80 ppm, as explained to you on August 21. There is nothing new to submit. Our BACT
analysis evaluated 96 ppm, 80 ppm, and 36 ppm for NOx. If the DAQ wants 80 ppm despite the analysis showing 96
ppm as BACT, Wildcat is not choosing to nego ate on this ma er.
We gave you approval to move forward over two weeks ago with 80 ppm. You did not ask for anything at that me,
and again, nothing further is needed on your end.
Please let us know when we can see the dra permit.

I've incorporated the new modeling memo into the permit and made updates per the last management review of the

Eric,
My apologies, I was speaking generally about setting limits, I agree the 80 ppm option makes sense in this context if
you accept that limit and can get the equipment that meets that limit.
On Wed, Aug 21, 2024 at 1:30 PM Eric Sturm <eric@airregconsulting.com> wrote:
Dylan,
The 80 ppm is not arbitrary. In the BACT analysis, it was next step level down for the Megastar ppm levels. In
addi on, it is not arbitrary because it is a BACT limit for a similar unit currently on public no ce.
Wildcat’s ini al complete NOI is aged to 14 months now. Hopefully the modeling group already completed
their review. Otherwise, it should be at the top of their list.

Eric,
Regarding the modeling, I haven't gotten an updated memo from our modeling team yet. I will check in with them
to see where it is at. As for the dryer NOx rates, we would want to set the limit at what makes sense for the
equipment given the supporting documentation we've received. If we just set an arbitrary limit then we risk the
source not being able to meet the limit and having to come back and modify the approval order all over again. I
planned on going over the last information received tomorrow and friday, I will get you a more detailed response
then to ensure we've covered everything. Thanks for checking in, I'll be in contact by the end of the week.

Dylan,
It has been close to 3 weeks for the modeling team to review. We assume all is approved, or did they have
any ques ons?
Addi onally, regarding the NOx rate, the DAQ earlier men oned that Wildcat could accept a lower than
BACT rate of 80 ppm to expedite the final processing. This appears to be the route that a similar sand dryer
site in Utah accepted in their public no ce documents (except they have a rotary dryer). Assuming that is
s ll an op on for Wildcat, as the DAQ allowed for their compe tors, then I think Wildcat will opt for that as
well.
If you could confirm, and also let us know status on how soon we could see a dra permit, that would be
great.
Thanks again for your a en on to this project.
Much appreciated.

Good morning, Dylan,
We are pu ng a read receipt on the email due to the modeling files in zip. As expected, the PM10
impacts went down from the previous modeling. Please see the a ached results table and modeling
files which confirm the results.
Notably, we also no ced an error in the PTE last shared with the DAQ. HRLOAD was previously calc’d as
unpaved but should have been considered paved. This is corrected and updated in the 3rd and 4th
a achments as well.
For the BACT, the discussion from July 16 (and follow-up emails July 17/18) indicated that a comparison
of Wildcat’s fluid-bed lb/hr for NOx, and gas usage per ton dried, to other recently permi ed rotary
dryers would suffice. We have that as a brief addendum. This will be provided separately.
Please confirm receipt of this email, and that updated modeling addresses the DAQ’s request from July
16.

In follow-up from Tuesday’s call, we understand that DAQ agrees with the a ached haul road
calcula ons. As DAQ requested, ARC is running the PM10 modeling with the updated emission rates.
Also, we are dra ing a BACT addendum to address Alan’s concerns noted on the call. The concerns
were related to the difference in the fluid bed burner NOx ppms as compared to other similar projects
recently permi ed in the state. We plan on showing the gas savings and similar lb/hr rates as
compared to these other/similar projects.
We will be in touch tomorrow, hopefully with some model results and updated analyses.

Subject: RE: Wildcat Sand Informa on Request 7/9/24
Dylan,
Please see a ached. From review of the roads and loaders with Wildcat and DAQ last week, we
updated the calcula ons. We revised the loader weights as requested, but again, we would caveat
that Wildcat did not submit any loader weight modifica ons in the NOI. We s ll believe this not
applicable, and the previous weights were correct, but to be conserva ve and show how the
emissions may change with a more tradi onal loader (20t empty, 30t full), the a achments are being
provided.
I think some confusion was coming from which hopper would be loaded. There are two; one for Dryer
1 and another for Dryer 2. These are now clarified as HRDRY1 and HRDRY2.
In review with Wildcat, HR2NDEXIT was eliminated, and the plans for WIP pile 3 and disturbed area
were ghtened. The lengths are directly in the calcula ons and updated overhead. Also, to show the
sitewide PTE with these updates, we are providing the full table for all units. The net change is a slight
decrease in PM2.5 (-0.03 tpy) and slight increase in PM10 (0.84 tpy).
We will plan to review with you at 3:30 pm today. Hope this all makes sense now, but to make sure,
let’s connect quick on Teams.

Dylan,
We understand your point of view. Ours is that Wildcat did not propose any change to the loader
equipment, so the ques oning here seems like an unnecessary delay. Nonetheless, because it is being
asked by the DAQ, we will address it.
We should certainly keep the mee ng today. The calcula ons will not be difficult, but Wildcat cannot
afford to con nue this game of email tennis. We want to make sure we are addressing the request in
full and keep everything moving towards public no ce.
I will be on Teams at 2:00 pm today. It was made as a reoccurring mee ng un l the DAQ’s ques ons
are addressed. We are more than happy to add Alan to the call when he returns.
Sincerely.

Eric,
The applica on did ask to change the loader routes, which is what I'm asking about. The calcula ons
show 2,628,000 and 1,314,000 tons going over the two loader routes I'm discussing. The last
permit issue limited produc on for the facility to 950,000 tons annually. This is an increase in the
materials going over the haul roads from the last approval order.
Also I was wondering if it would be be er to hold off mee ng un l Alan returns. We might be able to
address these issues quicker with him here and get the applica on where it needs to be to be
approved.

Dylan,
We were not asking you to forgo any review. Like we said, the numbers we provided previously for
the loaders were correct. This applica on did not request to modify the loaders, so there is no
reason for DAQ or Wildcat to review those.
The FEECO ar cle is misleading and needs context. I probably should not have sent that one. But,
as you men oned, the Thermal Kine cs le er should address the #2 in itself.
I would like to chat at 2:00 tomorrow. We disagree that any further haul road calc is needed.
I will send an invite for a 1to1 tomorrow. We can play with calcs if you want, but again, we do not

Eric,
There's several issues that haven't been addressed. The main issue is that no calcula ons were
provided to support the claims given here. I can't just take sources at their word that they are
reducing emissions with the equipment they are proposing, I need a record to verify your claims.
The haul road calcula ons are confusing for me, as yesterday in the call I thought you'd indicated
you'd provide updated calcula ons that showed the loader routes with the proper weights, while
removing the emissions from the 'op onal' 2nd exit haul road. If all haul road lengths were reduced
as well, I don't understand the hesitancy to provide updated correct calcula ons. All haul road
routes must be evaluated in the context of this modifica on because the amount of material being
transported across the haul roads has increased. UDAQ can't forgo proper review of new sources of
emissions just because the meline is inconvenient. We believe the haul road calcula ons as
provided are not accurate and we cannot accept them in their current state, we need an update.
The applica on will be considered incomplete un l that point. I've done my own calcula on of the
haul road using commonly used loader weights, and I found the emissions could be more than
three mes higher than previously indicated (See a ached). If my assessment is incorrect, I need
new informa on that shows that. Addi onally, we can't accept an incorrect calcula on because it
was accepted before. If we've found an issue, it's our responsibility to correct that.
The same issue is present with the dryer burner. I can't just accept that the lb/hr rates are lower
when the calcula ons Wildcat provided previously show the new dryer and old dryer have similar
heat inputs, fuel consump on, and emission rates. This ar cle also provides a counter argument
that this fuel consump on argument may not be accurate: https://feeco.com/rotary-dryer-fluid-
bed-dryer-efficiency-comparison/. I'm don't think comparing a rotary dryer to the fluid bed dryer
meets the defini on of 'redefining the source' when the facility already employs a rotary dryer for
the same purpose. This implies that this does not "...substan ally alter the purpose or basic design
of [the] proposed facility...." This also doesn't make sense if the BACT analysis provided in the

applica on then goes on to directly compare rotary dryer burner op ons to determine BACT for the
fluid bed dryer.
However, I believe the le er provided does provide an argument for why Low-NOX burner
technology may not be prac cal for this kind of dryer. And even correc ng poten al issues I see
with the cost analysis, I'm s ll not finding the 36 ppm burner to be economically feasible. I will
check in with Alan to see if this is sufficient. The solu on may be to stack test in order to get this
equipment approved if Wildcat believes 96 ppm is an aggressive figure to meet.
I will be available tomorrow at 2:00 if you'd like to meet again to discuss, Monday as well. Alan will
be back on Tuesday.

Dylan,
The variables involved when comparing rotary to fluid-bed prevent us from giving an exact lb/hr
difference, but we can say on average that gas usage is 30 to 50% higher with the rotary. The gas
usage is directly propor onal to the cfm and lb/hr emi ed out of the stack. So, the difference
between 80 ppm and 96 ppm as being discussed seems a bit shortsighted because that is only a
16.7% reduc on on a concentra on basis. But, the fluid-bed saves 30 to 50% on gas, and thus,
reduces NOx and all combus on emissions propor onal to the gas savings.
The BACT analysis would be best served to not consider ppms in a vacuum. And, as we discussed
yesterday, we are not sure if we can make comparisons to rotary dryers as doing so is “redefining
the source” which the EPA Puzzle Book and precipitating EPA guidance does not allow.
Nonetheless, given there are no fluid-bed sand dryers in Utah for comparison, ARC used rotaries
for some semblance of comparison in the BACT.
Ge ng to the two ques ons directly from your email on Tuesday, which were verbally addressed
yesterday:
#1. ARC/Wildcat did not ask for modifica on to the loader weights previously used and
approved in both DAQE-AN159980001-20 and DAQE-IN159980003-21. We understand what was
used previously is accurate. Given Wildcat was not proposing any changes to loaders, we kept
the same weights that were cer fied and approved.
Notably, ARC was overly conserva ve with road lengths and weights involved. In looking at
updated road plans since the NOI over 12 months ago, some roads have been removed and
shortened. If DAQ is reques ng that we adjust loader weights, we calculate that the net effect is
an emission reduc on. For simplicity in permit processing/requirements, and keeping within the
confines of this minor source modifica on (and for sake of me), it is probably best to leave
these calcula ons as already provided.

#2. First, and primarily, we would like to remind the DAQ of the Thermal Kine cs le er provided
on this topic. 96 ppm for NOx is rather aggressive for fluid-beds given the factors involved. Fluid-
beds are a posi ve pressure system with excess air to float the bed of sand. The posi ve
pressure and excess air make low-NOx burners technically and prac cally infeasible. We are
again providing the Thermal Kine cs le er as a ached.
Although the comparison to rotary dryers is redefining the source, we would note that some
other sand plants can use atmospheric pressure and more gas to meet more aggressive NOx
ppms. We are providing some materials and published ar cles explaining the difference
between rotary and fluid-bed. Rotary dryers are easier to operate and can accept/accommodate
more products. Fluid-beds are more difficult to operate and are more material specific, but the
advantage is in the gas efficiency.

Eric,
Per our call, I did have one last thing to bring up that would be helpful. If the dryer design uses
less fuel, and would result in a lower emission rate despite the NOx concentra on, a suppor ng
calcula on for this argument would probably be the best way to resolve any issues we might
have. That could be a new calcula on for the dryer or explaining what the lb/hr rate would be
with a more conven onal dryer design. Thanks for calling today I'm hoping this got us on the
path to finishing everything up.

Eric,
I looked through the responses referenced in February, and it does not have the
informa on we need. To clarify:
The haul road calcula ons we are specifically concerned about are for "HRDRY" and
"HRWIP", also called "Haul road - stockpile 3" and "Haul road - Wet plant". These are
calculated as loader routes, but the weight of the loads and the weight of the trucks are
not correct if front end loaders are being used. We need to clarify what equipment is
moving the material across these roads that matches the calcula ons, which indicate an
empty weight of 22 tons and a load of 43 tons. Front end loaders would weigh half of
that and would not be able to bear a load of more than double its weight.
Regarding the dryer ques on, while the applica on explains the efficiency argument, the
issue is in the suppor ng documenta on. It says the manufacturer gave a quote of 54
MMBtu/hr in order to reach the same level of produc on for a more efficient dryer. But
this number does not apply to both scenarios of "install a megastar burner for 80 ppm
NOx" and "install a Megastar Burner with Flue Gas Recircula on for 36 ppm NOx". The
quote was specifically discussing installing a FGR system, and that is also where the "17%
efficiency loss" number is stated. So both numbers apply to the FGR system, but not the
megastar burner on its own. And if the dryer is a unique piece of equipment, the
suppor ng informa on for the BACT determina on should be specific to the unique fluid
bed design.
Currently the suppor ng informa on that jus fied the "Lost Drying Efficiency" por on of
the BACT argument is talking about a completely different burner and system than the
one you're installing, and doesn't necessarily reflect poten al drying losses for installing
ONLY a more efficient burner. Again, it is specifically sta ng that for a system that uses a
different burner AND FGR, a produc on/drying efficiency loss of 17% is expected. For the
proposed 38 MMBtu/hr dryer, that would imply the dryer would need to be sized to
45.78 MMBtu/hr to maintain the same produc on rate, which is different than the 54

MMBtu/hr figure used in the BACT explana on for lost drying efficiency. That is the issue
I'm trying to address here.
So to be clear, I need suppor ng informa on that states this Fluid Bed Dryer would
experience 17% efficiency losses from upgrading to a more efficient burner (such as the
80 ppm NOx burner men oned in the applica on), or I need an updated cost analysis
that explains why this op on is economically infeasible without the dryer efficiency
argument included. Otherwise, the applica on is incomplete as there isn't an explana on

In advance, regarding item #2, the applica on is clear how the loss in efficiency was

Subject: Wildcat Sand Informa on Request 7/9/24
Good a ernoon,
Per the last management review, here are some ques ons we have regarding the
applica on that need to be addressed.
1. The haul road calcula ons do not appear to be correct. The haul roads in the facility
have several routes that are loader routes, but do not use loader route truck weights
or loads for the calcula ons. This needs to be explained. If the explana on is that front
end loaders are not used at the facility, that would need to be enforced in a permit
condi on. I need an explana on for what equipment is being used for these loader
routes so that also can be enforced with a permit condi on.
2. In the Dryer BACT analysis, the argument Wildcat presented was that a 54
MMBtu/hr heater would be needed if a LNB or FGR system was installed, and this
argument regarding dryer efficiency was used to determine that 96 ppm was the best
standard that could be achieved. However, the emails from the manufacturer provided
only discuss the addi on of a FGR system, not just a LNB system alone when discussing
the 54 MMBtu/hr number. It is also unclear if this is applicable to the fluid bed dryer
design discussed in this applica on. The same source provided indicates dryer
efficiency drops by 17%, but the calcula ons make an assump on that is equivalent to
assuming a 30% drop in efficiency. These numbers need a direct explana on if they are
correct, the applica on does not make it clear how these figures were determined.
I need a clear explana on for whether the 80 ppm Megastar burner discussed in the
applica on has the same drying loss as a megastar burner with FGR that equates to 36
ppm. This could substan ally affect the cost effec veness numbers determined for this
piece of equipment.
Part of why this took so long was I had discussions with other engineers working on
similar projects, and they've run into the same issues. I need to see the dryer spec

One final note, one of the engineers suggested that the solu on could be stack tes ng

emission rates provided for the dryers. Please let me know what you think.

1. The emission calculations as presented are causing confusion. Issues include the old dryer and
new dryer being different sizes but emitting the same emission rate, the HAP totals increasing
significantly from the last permit due to the new engine calculations, and the emission summary
page being difficult to track with all the calculations spread out across different submissions. I
think if you could submit the emission summary with all emission calculations included in the
same attachment that would help a lot.
See attachment in 1. Emission Summary Section
2. The old dryer and the new dryer are calculated to have the same emission rate, but use a different
emission limit in the stack testing condition. Dryer 1 is 1.07 lbs/hr PM10, Dryer 2 is 1.42. The
emission calculations should reflect these emission rates. I’d recommend changing the first dryer’s
PM10 rate to 1.07 lb/hr in the calculations and citing the previous limit in the last permit as the
reference. Otherwise we would need a BACT discussion for the old dryer to raise its stack test
limit. We cannot use a calculation in the NOI then not use it in the AO.
Wildcat is okay with Dryer 1 at 1.07 lbs/hr of PM10. Calculations are updated accordingly in the
following materials. Dryer 2 has always been set at 2.99 lbs/hr of PM10; no changes needed there.
The issue stems from the 1.07 lbs/hr being set incorrectly in the initial permit. Based on the scfm
for Dryer 1, and the BACT being 0.01 gr/dscf, the emission limit should be 1.42 lbs/hr for all filterable
PM/PM10/PM2.5. The stack is saturated, and so it is not possible to run an EPA Test Method 201A
to split the 10 micron portion from the rest of the PM. Wildcat is only able to test for all PM. The
current permit splits the limit between PM and PM10, but in reality, Wildcat can only test for all PM.
The emissions modeling and BACT provided previously justifies the limit changing to 1.42 lbs/hr for
all PM. But, again, Wildcat is okay retaining the 1.07 lb/hr to avoid any further delay in this permit.
Dryer 2 has always been correctly provided in the NOI, BACT, modeling and follow-up questions
from DAQ. The limit is 0.01 gr/dscf, which is consistently the BACT rate for baghouses in Utah.
3. The dryers are slightly different heat ratings and both are 96 ppm NOx. They should have different
NOx/CO emission rates but the calculations state they emit at the same rate. Please revise using
the 96 ppm NOx rate for each dryer.
See attachment in 1. Emission Summary Section
4. The loading and haul roads in particular were a source of confusion. We never got a visual to go
along with the haul road lengths. An explanation for why these haul road lengths are so long is
also needed. I recommend a clear process description to help understand how each part of the
process connects. I’ve attempted an explanation (for the haul roads alone) based on information
I’ve received. That description is attached. Please look it over and let me know if I’ve accurately
described the function of each haul road. I recommend fully clarifying the full process step by step
to help account for each emission source.

This comment clarifies the process the haul roads use at the facility. There are 5 main
haul roads/loader routes at the facility. The names for each haul road are taken from
submissions provided by Wildcat. Loader route #3 (HRLOAD) is used by incoming
trucks shipping sand into the facility. These are taken to the wet plant loading area.
Product is processed in the wet plant and deposited into storage pile #2. Loader route
#2 (HRWIP) is a haul road between wet plant storage piles #2 and #3. The wet product
is moved from storage pile #3. From there, product is transferred via haul road #2
(HRDRY) from the wet plant to the dry plant entrance. The sand is processed through
the dryers at this stage and deposited to the final product area. The final product is
shipped out via loader route #1 (HRLDOUT), which is a paved road that exits the
facility. Haul road #1 (HR2NDEXIT) is an alternative route out of the facility. This road
only has the capacity to transfer 150 tons of product per hour, and is thus calculated
to process half of the usual amount of product as the other haul roads and loader
routes.

VP of Operations
Wildcat Sand
In reference to your inquiry for an ultra-low NOX Burner on the Fluid Bed Dryer for your facility. In brief,
ultra-low NOX technologies are not typically feasible on this type of Dryer. A Fluid Bed Dryer is
described as using heated process air to make the Sand or Mineral to react as a fluid. This heated air
removes the moisture from the mineral and moves the mineral from feed to discharge of the
Dryer. This process is very fuel eƯicient because of a very low oƯ gas temperature and very eƯicient
heat transfer from the heated air to the Mineral. The Fluid Bed Dryer operates under about One Pound
of Positive pressure. Typically, Fluid Bed Dryers low NOX numbers because of the excess air required
for Fluidization.
In contrast, a Rotary dryer process usually operates under atmospheric pressure, which can
sometimes use diƯerent burner technologies dependent on the industry. Burners that are designed
for atmospheric pressure systems will not function correctly for the positive pressure required on a
Fluid Bed Dryer.

Disturbed Area: Item 20
Description
Wildcat currently applies watering operations per permit condition II.B.7.c. to decrease
particulate emissions associated with the 10.92 acres of disturbed areas at the facility. The facility
utilizes a water truck to maintain the disturbed areas with enough moisture to mitigate fugitive
dust emissions. The facility plans to increase the disturbed area to 13.99 acres with the increase
of an additional sand dryer; an additional 3.07 acres.
Emissions
Emissions were calculated using the DAQ’s Disturbed Area spreadsheet, utilizing the wind erosion
of exposed areas’ TSP emission factor from AP-42 Table 11.9-4 and AP-42 Section 13.2.5.3 to
calculate particulate matter contents for particles less than 10 micrometers in diameter (PM10)
and particles less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5). The increase in emissions for the
additional disturbance area is 0.58 tons PM10 per year and 0.09 tons PM2.5 per year.
Controls
Control Opportunities Control Efficiencies
Watering exposed areas 70%
Planting vegetation 100%
Technical Feasibility
Water is currently applied to the facility’s disturbed area for the 10.92 acres. Watering at all times
may not always be feasible for Wildcat’s newly established disturbed area due to acreage and
the hot, dry Utah climate. The planting of local vegetation around disturbed areas that are not
reclaimed quickly would reduce particulate emissions. In areas of low disturbance, local
vegetation can be used, and no additional watering would be needed, and the root structure of
the plants would help minimize the availability of particulate matter and return the exposed
areas to native land reducing emissions. Minimal disturbance of the area helps minimize
emissions by reducing the availability of smaller particulate matter at the surface, which can be
present by continual disturbance.
Economic Feasibility
Vegetation
Planting vegetation is applied with a high-pressure hose with a slurry of seed and mulch is
sprayed onto the disturbed area with seeds, also known as hydroseeding. The costs for
hydroseeding can vary, but average around 12 cents per ft2 [1], or $5,227.22 per acre. Given that
Wildcat would require 3.07 acres to be seeded this cost would be $16,058 annually. Vegetation
would control 100% of emissions and 1 acre of exposed area PM10 emissions are 0.19 tons
annually, and PM2.5 emissions are 0.03 tons annually, the cost per ton removed per acre would
be $27,512 and $174,241 respectively.

Watering
As noted, the facility is watering the 10.92 acres of disturbed area and therefore there is not an
initial capital cost associated with the watering. According to Roosevelt City’s County Water Rates
and Fees [2], the cost is $3 per 1,000 gallons for rates at or more than 60,000 gallons per month.
At 0.09 gallons per ft2 [3] the facility will on average increase the water usage by 378,695 gallons
per month. Annually, it’s estimated that the facility’s updated water usage will cost $13,633.

Findings and Selected Control
The control option that is technically feasible and economically viable is watering the additional
disturbed areas of the facility. Watering will prevent emitting surface particulates and will help
reduce fugitive emissions on site. This option is deemed BACT for exposed and disturbed areas.
Planting vegetation was eliminated due to the economic burden it would place on Wildcat as
they are continually mined and increase the volume of these areas.
Additionally, Wildcat will comply with R307-309 and implement the controls necessary to
maintain the opacity limitations listed in the rule. Maintaining the 20% opacity on site and the

10% opacity at the property boundary are considered BACT, common practice demonstrates that
this can be met via minimal disturbance of exposed areas.

RE: Response to Management Review Information Request Email Sent February 9, 2024
Wildcat Sand, LLC – Uintah County Sand Processing Plant
DAQE-AN159980003-21
Uintah County, UT
Dear Mr. Dylan Frederick,
Air Regulations Consulting, LLC (ARC), on behalf of Wildcat Sand, LLC (Wildcat), is submitting a response
to the information request from the Utah Department of Environmental Quality’s Division of Air Quality
(DAQ) sent to ARC and Wildcat on February 9, 2024. This information request is in response to the Notice
of Intent (NOI) application submitted on June 30, 2023. A response following each of the requested items
is listed below in bold.
1. It was requested that the engine be evaluated for a lower NOx emission rate. We have seen rates
of 0.5 g/hp-hr NOx from engines that did not require SCR. At the very least we need emission
estimates and cost estimates for an engine that can meet an emission rate of 0.5 g/hp-hr NOx.
Wildcat will not be implementing a new engine and will operate the currently permitted engine.
2. A BACT analysis for Disturbed Area was requested as the total area increased from 10.92 acres to
14.
See attached for a revision to the BACT.
3. We need a clearer explanation of the haul road lengths/loader routes. Management thought the
lengths of the roads were quite long and the diagram provided in the NOI doesn’t label these or
show how each haul road/ loader route fits together. I would recommend a project narrative
explaining the process so we can account for each haul road section.
See attached for a visual of the routes.

Item 4, Haul Road – 2nd Exit (HR2NDEXIT) is utilized seldomly but has the potential to move
product at a rate of 150 tph. To calculate for PTE, 8,760 hr/yr was utilized to acquire 1,314,000
tph.
5. Which haul road/loader route brings sand into the facility? This goes along with item #3, as its
unclear which haul road/loader route performs which function.
Raw material is transferred via HRLOAD, the emissions are captured in HRLDOUT to avoid
double counting.
6. I will need to add a condition to the approval order for the paved section of the haul road as the
NOI indicates that "Item 5, Haul Road, Final Product" is a paved section of the haul road and
estimates emissions as such. Let me know if this is correct, the condition will require the one way
length of this haul road of 1,151 feet be paved.
Correct.
7. The last permit had a stack testing limit of 1.07 lb/hr for the existing dryer. Why did the lb/hr
increase in this modification?
DAQ is correct, the limit for Dryer 1 is 1.07 lb PM10/hr.
8. It looks like the formaldehyde totals confirmed on 10-25-23 are higher than the totals that were
submitted for modeling? The modeling team showed a 0.00 lb/hr emission rate for the engine
which doesn’t look correct. It should be .178 lb/hr based on the submissions I’ve received. I've
checked in with modeling to see if this needs to be addressed.
DAQ confirmed on a Teams call from February 21, 2024 that no further action is needed at this
time regarding the formaldehyde modeling.
9. Finally, management wanted to ask for an evaluation of other dryer burner options. 96 ppm is the
proposed limit and this seems high for a dryer and isn’t considered a low-NOx option. For
comparison, management has noted that asphalt facilities utilize dryers that can reach 36 ppm
NOx. The proposed dryer is at more than 2.5 times the NOx emission rate of asphalt dryers. At the
very least I could use some understanding on why the difference is so large compared to other
industrial dryers. I was also curious why the analysis states dryer efficiency would be reduced by
17% for Low-NOx burners, but requires a 50% increase in size to accommodate the same
production rate with lower NOx options.

Subject: RE: Management Review Informa on Request
Dylan,
Following back up regarding the discussion with you and Alan in late February. Items #1-9 were addressed on the
call. Summary of each item below and a ached. Wildcat would like to have the NOI put to public no ce soon. We
are available all week to address each item again, and this is a top priority. We can meet at your offices to discuss any
remaining ques ons.

1. It was requested that the engine be evaluated for a lower NOx emission rate. We have seen rates of 0.5 g/hp-hr
NOx from engines that did not require SCR. At the very least we need emission es mates and cost es mates for
an engine that can meet an emission rate of 0.5 g/hp-hr NOx.
Wildcat will not be implemen ng a new engine and will operate the currently permi ed engine. The DAQ can
disregard any modifica on for the engine.
2. A BACT analysis for Disturbed Area was requested as the total area increased from 10.92 acres to 14.
See a ached for a revision to the BACT.
3. We need a clearer explana on of the haul road lengths/loader routes. Management thought the lengths of the
roads were quite long and the diagram provided in the NOI doesn’t label these or show how each haul road/
loader route fits together. I would recommend a project narra ve explaining the process so we can account for
each haul road sec on.
See a ached for a visual of the routes.
Haul Road Descrip on Length
HR2NDEXIT Addi onal Exit from Plant 201.7 Meters
HRLDOUT Final Product 701.6 Meters
HRWIP WIP Pile #2 to WIP Pile #3 732.4 Meters
HRLOAD Loader to Wet Plant 476.5 Meters

Asphalt dryers are a completely different SIC code. 96 ppm is the lowest NOx rate permi ed to a minor source for
SIC 1446. The burner used for the referenced 36 ppm NOx cannot be used at Wildcat for mul ple reasons;
primarily, the top two reasons are (1), Wildcat is using a fluid bed dryer, which requires certain specifics for
combus on, and (2), Wildcat is not asphalt drying; it is a sand dryer. Either way, the 36 ppm burner is not an
op on for Wildcat in the top down process and cannot be considered on technical and prac cal bases.

Dylan,
The calc we provided DAQ is set to the max that DOT allows. The max gross allowable is actually 129,000 lbs. Please see a ached, as circled on the first
page. ARC used 129,000 lbs in the haul road calcs given that would be worst case (highest emi ng scenario). The DAQ calc does not show the decimal
place, so the 65 tons looks like 130,000 lbs, but if the DAQ’s Excel were editable to show more a decimal place, you would see the 129,000 lbs reference.
This is ge ng a bit out of bounds. Wildcat is UT DOT compliant, as their records show, along with the a achment. Wildcat’s dealings with DOT does not
have a nexus to this permit. The haul road emissions are not an issue.
Nonetheless, because you asked, and we want to keep things moving, Wildcat’s trucking company is providing the latest DOT permit and inspec on.
Notably, Barney Trucking handles all shipments from Wildcat. The first page shows the allowable max gross weight of 129,000 lbs. The next two pages show
the compliant determina ons from DOT.
I’ll be following up by phone to you in a bit.
If you have any more ques ons, I’d ask that you call me this a ernoon so this can be closed out.

Subject: Re: Management Review Informa on Request
Eric,
It looks like UDOT regulations require a permit for every trip over 125,000 tons of product (See R909-2-26). If I'm reading this correctly you need a permit for
every trip each truck takes out of the facility at these load weights. If you can provide your permit to show the weights you're approved for that could help clear up
any confusion.

Dylan, the numbers provided are correct. Trucks shipped from Wildcat are dual trailer. 23 tons empty, payload of 43 tons, and total weight of 65 tons.

Wildcat’s shipping trucks are DOT inspected and approved. Perhaps DAQ’s confusion is due to the dual trailer aspect. DOT allows these types of trucks
for shipping product, and I would add that these are quite common.
I’m going to call you in 15 min to confirm understanding on this, or address further, if needed.

Thank you Eric. There was one last issue, we discussed the haul road weights within the facility, that explanation made sense. But wouldn't the weights need
to be different for haul roads exiting the facility? These trucks would be exiting the property and shipping completed product off site correct?

Okay, you are correct. There was a Tarmac spec sheet that we had for a similar new 150 tph rotary unit, like Dryer 1. That Tarmac spec had a rate of
5.7 lb/hr for CO, so we used that for Dryer 1.
5.7 lb/hr for CO on Dryer 1 is slightly higher than the AP42 rate. To be conserva ve, we deferred to the Tarmac CO rate.
If you are okay using that, let’s s ck with that. I updated the footnote on the PTE for Dryer 1 to clarify. See a ached.

This was for Dryer #1. The lb/hr rate in the spreadsheet doesn't seem to match with the AP-42 estimation. I found where the NOx lb/hr rate came from in our
boiler estimation sheets, I just couldn't tell where the CO lb/hr rate came from for dryer #1.

Hey Dylan,
Are you asking about Dryer 1 or Dryer 2? My understanding is that the current permit used AP42 for CO emission rates on Dryer 1. We stayed with
that approach for Dryer 2 and this NOI.
We did not see a CO guarantee for this unit. It seems fair to s ck with the AP42 emission rate for CO.
Best.

Eric,
I've gone over the spreadsheets you sent. I think I understand everything a lot better and the calculations look correct for the most part. I've submitted
some slight edits to clarify the citations and be conservative with the estimates. My one question is where did the CO lb/hr figure come from for the old
dryer? And was there manufacturer specific data for the CO emission rate?

Dylan,
For the call we are having right now, and the ques on about the haul road. The high weight for the mine truck, as full with payload, is correct.
Although that weight is above DOT standards, the mine truck only stays on the plant/mine site. It does not go on public roads (or when it does, it
is empty). So, it is all compliant with DOT.
If there is anything further to clarify, please let me know.

Eric,
I can meet with Alan Tuesday to go over this when he gets back into the office. I'll have your responses reviewed at that time, and if we
need further clarification we can have a call to go over any remaining issues. Everything you've sent me seems to address the issues I
mentioned previously. I will contact you Tuesday to let you know if any further work is needed. Thanks for your quick response.

Dylan,
Please see a ached. Notably, we do not want #2 to hold ma ers up. Wildcat is okay with Dryer 1 retaining a PM10 limit of 1.07
lbs/hr, but it appears that previously incorrectly set and does not match BACT.
1. Provided/a ached.
2. Wildcat is okay with Dryer 1 at 1.07 lbs/hr of PM10. Calcula ons are updated accordingly in the a achment.
a. Notably, Wildcat would prefer the emission limit for Dryer 1 be 1.42 for all filterable PM (PM10 and PM2.5
included). This is consistent with BACT being 0.01 gr/dscf and the scfm at Dryer 1. The dryer stack has high
moisture such that a TM201A cannot be performed to determine the PM10 split, so it would be best to have a
single limit of 1.42 for all PM. We modeled PM10 at 1.42 lb/hr, and the BACT is 0.01 gr/dscf. Nonetheless, to
avoid any further delay, Wildcat is okay retaining the 1.07 lbs/hr for PM10 if DAQ would prefer.
b. Dryer 2 PM10 has always been 2.99 lbs/hr, which too matches 0.01 gr/dscf. No changes needed there.
3. Provided/a ached.
4. Provided/a ached.
Would it be helpful to have call today to review. If so, please send Sydney and me a Teams. We are free rest of day.
Thanks again.

Subject: Re: Management Review Informa on Request
Eric,
I got the review back a few days ago and I've been going over the comments to address how to get management approval for thisproject.
The following issues were brought up and I think this is the best way to address each issue:
1. The emission calculations as presented are causing confusion. Issues include the old dryer and new dryer being different sizes
but emitting the same emission rate, the HAP totals increasing significantly from the last permit due to the new engine calculations,
and the emission summary page being difficult to track with all the calculations spread out across different submissions. I think if you
could submit the emission summary with all emission calculations included in the same attachment that would help a lot.
2. The old dryer and the new dryer are calculated to have the same emission rate, but use a different emission limit in the stack
testing condition. Dryer 1 is 1.07 lbs/hr PM10, Dryer 2 is 1.42. The emission calculations should reflect these emission rates. I’d
recommend changing the first dryer’s PM10 rate to 1.07 lb/hr in the calculations and citing the previous limit in the last permit as the
reference. Otherwise we would need a BACT discussion for the old dryer to raise its stack test limit. We cannot use a calculation in
the NOI then not use it in the AO.

3. The dryers are slightly different heat ratings and both are 96 ppm NOx. They should have different NOx/CO emission rates but the
calculations state they emit at the same rate. Please revise using the 96 ppm NOx rate for each dryer.
4. The loading and haul roads in particular were a source of confusion. We never got a visual to go along with the haul road lengths.
An explanation for why these haul road lengths are so long is also needed. I recommend a clear process description to help
understand how each part of the process connects. I’ve attempted an explanation (for the haul roads alone) based on informationI’ve received. That description is attached. Please look it over and let me know if I’ve accurately described the function of each haul
road. I recommend fully clarifying the full process step by step to help account for each emission source.

Yes, I had sent the permit back for internal reviews since the changes from the management reviews changed
quite a bit from the permit. We should hopefully have all management questions addressed, he just needs to signoff and we can get this permit out. I apologize for the time its taken to get this out, this should hopefully be the last
step before getting to public comment.

You are also correct on the emissions be slightly less with retaining the 415 hp (as opposed to what
we submi ed in the NOI for PTE and modeling). The updated PTE calcula on for the 415 hp engine is
a ached. Given the emissions decrease with the 415 hp, modeling is not an issue.
Hope this helps. Please let us know as the DAQ review finishes, and when we might see the dra

Eric,
I think we've closed out items 2 and 3. For Item 1, I had the last engine at the site as being 415 hp inDAQE-AN159980003-21, whereas this one was 360 kW or 482 hp. So there should be slightly less
combustion emissions from the engine. I just want to make sure the emission totals are accurate, but I'll
have the permit sent back for reviews ASAP.

We should have tomorrow to provide more explana on on the fluid bed design and burner

On #3, yes, due to the exhaust air flow staying the same, the DAQ can leave the PM10 permit limit

Eric,
I've been able to go over the submission and I've incorporated changes where they've been noted. I
have a couple more requests:
1. Since the engine is not changing, could you submit a emission summary table that reflects this
change?
2. I think the explanation on the sand dryer makes sense, but Alan thought it would be helpful to have
a little more information on fluid bed dryers. Can you explain why this particular kind of dryer operates
with higher NOx concentrations than other combustion equipment? Being able to say NOx can't golower due to the design should be the last information we need.
3. Just to confirm, I will keep the dryer #1 stack testing condition at 1.07 lb/hr for PM10, correct?

Dylan,
Following back up regarding the discussion with you and Alan in late February. Items #1-9 were
addressed on the call. Summary of each item below and a ached. Wildcat would like to have
the NOI put to public no ce soon. We are available all week to address each item again, and this
is a top priority. We can meet at your offices to discuss any remaining ques ons.
1. It was requested that the engine be evaluated for a lower NOx emission rate. We have
seen rates of 0.5 g/hp-hr NOx from engines that did not require SCR. At the very least we
need emission es mates and cost es mates for an engine that can meet an emission rate
of 0.5 g/hp-hr NOx.
Wildcat will not be implemen ng a new engine and will operate the currently permi ed
engine. The DAQ can disregard any modifica on for the engine.
2. A BACT analysis for Disturbed Area was requested as the total area increased from 10.92
acres to 14.
See a ached for a revision to the BACT.
3. We need a clearer explana on of the haul road lengths/loader routes. Management
thought the lengths of the roads were quite long and the diagram provided in the NOI
doesn’t label these or show how each haul road/ loader route fits together. I would

recommend a project narra ve explaining the process so we can account for each haul
road sec on.
See a ached for a visual of the routes.
Haul Road Descrip on Length
HR2NDEXIT Addi onal Exit from Plant 201.7 Meters
HRLDOUT Final Product 701.6 Meters
HRWIP WIP Pile #2 to WIP Pile #3 732.4 Meters
HRLOAD Loader to Wet Plant 476.5 Meters
HRDRY WIP to Dry Plant 325.8 Meters
4. Can you explain why haul road #1 on the NOI has an input of 1,314,000 tons per year?
Item 4, Haul Road – 2nd Exit (HR2NDEXIT) is u lized seldomly but has the poten al to move
product at a rate of 150 tph. To calculate for PTE, 8,760 hr/yr was u lized to acquire 1,314,000
tph.
5. Which haul road/loader route brings sand into the facility? This goes along with item #3,
as its unclear which haul road/loader route performs which func on.
Raw material is transferred via HRLOAD, the emissions are captured in HRLDOUT to avoid
double coun ng.
6. I will need to add a condi on to the approval order for the paved sec on of the haul road
as the NOI indicates that "Item 5, Haul Road, Final Product" is a paved sec on of the haul
road and es mates emissions as such. Let me know if this is correct, the condi on will
require the one way length of this haul road of 1,151 feet be paved.
Correct.
7. The last permit had a stack tes ng limit of 1.07 lb/hr for the exis ng dryer. Why did the
lb/hr increase in this modifica on?
DAQ is correct, the limit for Dryer 1 is 1.07 lb PM10/hr.
8. It looks like the formaldehyde totals confirmed on 10-25-23 are higher than the totals that
were submi ed for modeling? The modeling team showed a 0.00 lb/hr emission rate for
the engine which doesn’t look correct. It should be .178 lb/hr based on the submissions
I’ve received. I've checked in with modeling to see if this needs to be addressed.
DAQ confirmed on a Teams call from February 21, 2024 that no further ac on is needed at this
me regarding the formaldehyde modeling.

9. Finally, management wanted to ask for an evalua on of other dryer burner op ons. 96
ppm is the proposed limit and this seems high for a dryer and isn’t considered a low-NOx
op on. For comparison, management has noted that asphalt facili es u lize dryers that
can reach 36 ppm NOx. The proposed dryer is at more than 2.5 mes the NOx emission
rate of asphalt dryers. At the very least I could use some understanding on why the
difference is so large compared to other industrial dryers. I was also curious why the
analysis states dryer efficiency would be reduced by 17% for Low-NOx burners, but
requires a 50% increase in size to accommodate the same produc on rate with lower NOx
op ons.
Asphalt dryers are a completely different SIC code. 96 ppm is the lowest NOx rate permi ed
to a minor source for SIC 1446. The burner used for the referenced 36 ppm NOx cannot be
used at Wildcat for mul ple reasons; primarily, the top two reasons are (1), Wildcat is using a
fluid bed dryer, which requires certain specifics for combus on, and (2), Wildcat is not asphalt
drying; it is a sand dryer. Either way, the 36 ppm burner is not an op on for Wildcat in the top
down process and cannot be considered on technical and prac cal bases.

RE: Minor Source NOI Modification for Sand Processing Plant, UAR R307-401-5
Wildcat Sand, LLC – Uintah County Sand Processing Plant
DAQE #IN159980003-21
Uintah County, UT
Dear Mr. Alan Humphreys,
Wildcat Sand, LLC (Wildcat), with assistance from Air Regulations Consulting, LLC (ARC), is submitting a
Notice of Intent (NOI) for a modification to the current Approval Order (AO) DAQE #IN159980003-21
issued to the processing plant in Uintah County, Utah. Wildcat operates a sand processing facility in the
Uinta Basin with drying operations and additional handling equipment located approximately seven (7)
miles to the southeast of Roosevelt, Utah. The facility currently operates a crushing and screening
operation at the wet plant and a sand dryer (Dryer #1) with a 40.9 million British thermal unit per hour
(MMBtu/hr) rated natural gas-fired burner. Wildcat is submitting this NOI application in accordance with
Utah Office of Administrative Rules (UAR) R307-401-5.
This application package is presented to the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Air
Quality (UDAQ), for the proposed installation of a sand fluid bed dryer (Dryer #2) that will be equipped
with a 38.0 MMBtu/hr natural gas-fired burner. Additional requests with this NOI application include the
increase to the hourly throughput and operating hours of Dryer #1 to 150 tons per hour and 8,760 hours
per year, respectively.
In accordance with Statute 19-2-108(3)(a), a $500 filing fee and $2,200 review fee are needed for the
Minor New Source Review NOI, therefore a check for $2,700 is being provided with the NOI to the Division
of Air Quality. Should the DAQ have any questions regarding the enclosed information, please do not
hesitate to contact Eric Sturm at 402.817.7887 or eric@airregconsulting.com.
Sincerely,
Eric Sturm

1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
Wildcat Sand, LLC (Wildcat or Sand Plant) is planning to install a new Starkaire Fluid Bed Dryer
(Dryer #2) drum dryer and a Filter Press Engine (Engine) at the current processing plant, located
approximately seven miles southeast of Roosevelt Main Street, Roosevelt, Utah. Dryer #2 will be
added to an existing aggregate operation that currently crushes, washes, and dries sand; the Sand
Plant is currently operating Dryer #1, a Tarmac dryer, with a 40.9 million British thermal units per
hour (MMBtu/hr) natural gas-fired burner. With the intention of increasing sand production,
Wildcat is planning to add Dryer #2 equipped with a 38.0 MMBtu/hr natural gas-fired burner. The
360-kiloWatt (kW) Engine will be utilized at the filter press, located southeast of the current
tailing ponds. If allowed to operate for 8,760 hours per year, the sand dryers could have the
potential to produce approximately 1,314,000 tons of sand annually, each.[1] The Sand Plant will
have the potential to produce 2,628,000 tons of sand annually. The additional sand dryer is
planned to be controlled with computerized systems for fuel firing and wet sand feed along with
cyclone and baghouse dust collection consistent with the Division’s Utah Administrative Code
(UAC) and the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) federal standards and databases of
technology for new sources.
This report contains analysis of best available control technology (BACT) analysis for particulate
matter (PM), oxides of nitrogen (NOX), carbon monoxide (CO), and volatile organic compounds
(VOC) emissions for the Tarmac rotary sand dryer and the Starkaire fluid bed dryer. For reference,
UAC R307-101-2, defines BACT specifically to the following:
“BACT means an emission limitation and/or other controls to include design,
equipment, work practice, operation standard or combination thereof, based on a
maximum degree of reduction of each pollutant subject to regulation under the
Clean Air Act and/or the Utah Air Conservation Act emitted from or which results
from any emitting installation, which the Air Quality Board, on a case-by-case basis
taking into account energy, environmental and economic impacts and other costs,
[1] 1,314,000 tons equates to 150 tons per hour at 8,760 hours per year which is capable for some rotary sand dryers
with passive control technologies. If burner tuning for emissions of fuel combustion is required, then 8,760 hours
per year, and 1,314,000 tons per year, are not attainable.

determines is achievable for such installation through application of production
process and available methods, systems and techniques, including fuel cleaning or
treatment or innovative fuel combustion techniques for control of each such
pollutant. In no event shall application of BACT result in emission of pollutants
which will exceed the emissions allowed by section 111 or 112 of the Clean Air Act.”
As the rule states, Wildcat and ARC are obligated to base proposed BACT on the most effective
engineering techniques and control equipment to minimize emission of air contaminants from
its process to the extent achievable within the industry. Furthermore, based on this definition
and the DAQ’s Form 01b Guidance on BACT, this analysis for Wildcat’s Dryers #1 and #2 and
Engine includes consideration of energy impacts, environmental impacts, economic impacts,
other considerations, and cost calculation. Wildcat and ARC are well versed in the aggregate
drying industry and have been involved in approximately 55 sand dryer projects in ten different
states, including Utah. The proposed BACT for Wildcat follows Form 01b, UAC R307-101-2, EPA
federal standards, and applicability of the sand drying techniques nationwide.

2 BACT ANALYSIS
2.1 Non-Dryer Emissions
The construction and operation of Dryer #2 will accommodate increases in sand production, from
950,000 tons of sand per year to 2,628,000 tons of sand per year, and therefore emissions from
other stages in Wildcat’s sand drying operating will also increase. Emissions will increase for each
process equipment at the facility capable of emitting particulate matter, and Wildcat’s sand
dryers and Engine will have a small increase in emissions of nitrogen oxides, VOCs, and carbon
monoxide as well.
1. Haul Road - Loader to Wet Plant – Sand will continue to be delivered to the wet plant via
truck loading. Emissions of PM10 will increase by 4.09 tons per year (tpy), and emissions
of PM2.5 will increase by 0.41 tpy. Wildcat will keep the same haul road control
requirements as had been established in DAQE-AN159980003-21 (the current Approval
Order (AO)) as the best available controls.
2. Truck Unloading to Wet Plant – Sand delivered to the wet plant will continue to be
unloaded from the truck bottoms and transferred by conveyors to the wet plant
processing area. Due to the increase in production, emissions of PM10 will increase by
0.78 tpy, and PM2.5 will increase by 0.11 tpy.
3. Stockpile Pre-Wash Plant – Due to the increase in production, emissions of PM2.5 will
increase by 0.004 tpy. Wildcat is keeping the same control requirements for the sand piles
as had been established under the previous AO.
4. Secondary Crushing – The facility will continue to crush the imported sand to achieve the
desired sizing for the final products. The production will increase from 275 tons per hour
(tph), to 300 tph. Emissions of PM10 will increase by 0.45 tpy, and PM2.5 will increase by
0.08 tpy. Wildcat is keeping the same control requirements for the sand crusher as had
been established under the previous AO.
5. Existing Conveyors and Drop Points – Sand production at the Sand Plant begins with the
wash plant. Emissions of PM10 will increase by 0.66 tpy, and emissions of PM2.5 will

increase by 0.19 tpy. Wildcat will keep the same control requirements as had been
established in current AO as the best available controls.
6. WIP Stockpile #2 – The washed stockpile that is currently permitted will increase
emissions for PM10 by 0.43 tpy and PM2.5 by 0.29 tpy. The PILE2 washed stockpile will be
roughly 1.5 acres large. Wildcat is keeping the same control requirements for the
stockpiles as had been established under the previous AO.
7. Haul Road - WIP Pile #2 to WIP Pile #3 – The new haul road will send washed sand to a
new stockpile, PILE3. The PM10 emissions will increase by 2.27 tpy and PM2.5 emissions
will increase by 0.23 tpy from the haul road to PILE3. Wildcat will implement water and
chemical suppressants to control particulate emissions.
8. Truck Unloading to WIP Pile #3 – The emissions for truck unloading to PILE3 will increase
by 0.39 tpy of PM10 and 0.06 tpy PM2.5. The sand that is transferred to PILE3 will have a
5% moisture content.
9. WIP Stockpile #3 – At a maximum, the new stockpile, PILE3, will be roughly 2.75 acres.
The pile will have a 5% moisture content before being transferred to dry plants #1 and #2.
The PM10 emissions will increase by 1.09 tpy, and PM2.5 emissions will increase by 0.56
tpy. Wildcat will apply the same control requirements for the stockpiles as had been
established under the previous AO.
10. Haul Road - Loader to Dry Plant – Emissions of PM10 on this haul road will increase by
1.66 tpy, while emissions of PM2.5 will increase by 0.16 tpy. Wildcat will continue to
implement water and chemical suppressants to control particulate emissions.
11. Truck Unloading to Dry Plant #1 and Dry Plant #2 – The PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from
the transfer of 5% moisture content sand to the dry plants will increase to 0.39 tpy and
0.06 tpy, respectively for each drop point.
12. J&H Screens with Baghouse – The PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from the screens’ fabric filter
baghouse will increase by 2.92 tpy and 4.22 tpy, respectively. Wildcat will maintain the
control requirements as established by the current AO for best available controls.

13. Dry Product Handling and Loading – Sand will be dried by the existing Dryer #1 and new
Dryer #2, and the BACT analysis for the sand dryers is addressed later in this document.
All product handling performed after drying the sand is assisted by a dust collector and
silo bin vent filter with a 99% control efficiency. Handling after the sand dryers increases
emissions by 0.0012 tpy of PM10, and 0.0003 tpy of PM2.5.
14. Enclosed Baghouse Waste Collection Area – The facility will keep the baghouse collection
area enclosed. The waste collection will keep the control requirements as established in
the current AO.
15. Bucket Elevator Transfer to Storage Silos and Loadout – The silos are each outfitted with
Silo Venting Collectors, and each will have a loadout spout. Wildcat is maintaining the
control requirements for silos as had been established in the previous AO. The combined
PM10 emissions from the silo transfer and loadout will be 0.052 tpy, and emissions of
PM2.5 will be 0.041 tpy.
16. Haul Road - Final Product – There is a final paved haul road for loading dried products,
which will see increases of 1.12 tpy of PM10 and 0.12 tpy of PM2.5. This haul road will be
maintained with 95% control efficiency, which was established in the previous AO as the
best available technology.
17. Haul Road - Additional Exit from Plant – The facility has an additional exit to the south of
the property. The road is unpaved and has optional use for loadout. The PTE
overestimated the annual usage of this haul road at 1,314,000 tpy. The emissions from
the haul road are 1.46 tpy of PM10 and 0.15 tpy of PM2.5.
18. Disturbed Area – Because this project will increase the amount storage piles, the area of
disturbed ground will increase under this project. The amount of disturbed ground will
increase from 11 to 14 acres, which will see an increase in PM10 emissions by 1.21 tpy and
PM2.5 emissions by 0.25 tpy.
19. Filter Press Engine – The original BACT was submitted with a 416-kW natural gas engine
for emergency generation. The manufacture certifies the Engine to meet the applicable
Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)

Subpart JJJJ for lean burn natural gas engines 75 kW (100 hp), which is BACT for
generators. These federal regulations address NOX, organic emissions, and particulates.
The emissions for PM10 and PM2.5 will increase to 0.15 tpy, each.
In total, emissions of PM10 that are not attributed to the sand dryers will increase under this
project by approximately 24.17 tons per year, and emissions of PM2.5 that are not attributed to
the sand dryers will increase by approximately 7.63 tons per year. The Engine will have NOX
emissions that will be 9.32 tons per year, SOX emissions that will be 0.01 tons per year, and CO
emissions that will be 18.63 tons per year. These processes remain the same as they had under
the previous AO, but for increased production of sand. The control requirements established in
the previous AO will remain as the best available controls under a new permit. For these
processes, Wildcat will maintain the same standards and requirements for emissions controls.
2.2 Potential BACT Options for Dryer #1 and #2
To evaluate energy impacts, environmental impacts, economic impacts, other considerations,
and cost calculations a list of potential emission controls must be comprised, and impacts and
assessments may be calculated per emission control. Form 01b and UAC R307-101-2 are clear in
advising that the application of BACT may not result in emission of pollutants which could exceed
those allowed by Section 111 or 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). CAA Section 111 and 112 tasked
the EPA to develop standards of performance for new, modified, and reconstructed sources.
Section 111 relates to standards for criteria pollutants such as PM, NOX, CO, and VOC. Section
112 relates to emissions of hazardous or toxic pollutants, which are not at issue with the Wildcat
rotary dryer nor the fluid bed dryer; moreover, there are no promulgated standards for
nonmetallic drying pursuant to Section 112 nor are hazardous or toxic emissions an area of
concern from sand drying. In contrast, the EPA has been reviewing criteria pollutant emissions
pursuant to Section 111 from nonmetallic industries, like sand processing and drying since the

Chapter I, Subchapter C, Part 60, Subpart UUU—Standards of Performance for Calciners and
Dryers in Mineral Industries (Subpart UUU). The Subpart UUU standards were heavily reviewed,
commented upon, and finalized in 1992 and 1993. Since 1992, the EPA has reviewed the Subpart
UUU standards every eight years pursuant CAA Section 111(b)(1)(B). Each review process has
resulted in no changes to Subpart UUU, and thus Subpart UUU has been established and
reviewed by EPA over the course of the last 37 years.
“The Administrator shall, at least every 8 years, review and, if appropriate, revise
such standards following the procedure required by this subsection for
promulgation of such standards.”
The established NSPS Subpart UUU standards for new sources has only determined that PM
control techniques are the only reduction in emissions that, “…(taking into account the cost of
achieving such reduction and any non-air quality health and environmental impact and energy
requirements) the Administrator determines has been adequately demonstrated.” Please see CAA
Section 111(a)(1) for the NSPS making process. In the 37 years of review and establishing
adequate emission reduction, only PM control technologies have been demonstrated.
Of the PM control technologies that the NSPS Subpart UUU has established and proven to be
adequately demonstrated, there are dry control devices and wet scrubbers. Again, the NSPS
rulemaking process has not established any control for NOX, CO, or VOC. Acceptable emission
reduction technologies of dry control devices include cyclones,[2] baghouses,[3] and electrostatic
precipitators (ESP).[4] The only wet control device established and demonstrated were wet
[2] Cyclones remove PM by centrifugal and inertial forces induced by forcing particulate laden gas to change direction;
this type of technology is often referred to as pre-cleaners or collectors due their nature of removing large PM before
exhausting to another control device.
[3] A fabric filter or baghouse unit consists of one or more isolated compartments containing rows of fabric bags in
the form of round, flat, or shaped tubes, or pleated cartridges. Particle laden gas passes up along the surface of the
bags then radially through the fabric.
[4] ESP is a PM control device that uses electrical forces to move particles entrained within an exhaust stream onto
collector plates. The particles are given an electrical charge when they pass through a corona; electrodes and high
voltage generate an electrical field forcing particles to collector plates.

scrubbers.[5] Wildcat and ARC reviewed combustion controls and burner technologies such as
low-NOX burners and/or low-CO burners for potential control of NOX and CO respectively. Other
NOX, CO, and VOC controls could theoretically/potentially include catalyst or catalytic style
control technologies; there are no instances published, permitted, or publicly available of catalyst
or catalytic style control technologies demonstrated in practice for a sand dryer.
Since 1996, EPA’s RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse (RBLC) has made only three documented BACT
determinations. All three BACT determinations were consistent with NSPS Subpart UUU in that
only required PM control technologies were settled upon as BACT and LAER. For reference, the
three RBLC determinations from Oregon, Wisconsin, and California are attached with this BACT
analysis. NOX and CO (and VOC) control technologies were not established in the BACT evaluation
process for sand dryers.
2.2.1 Summary of BACT analysis for FGR
Wildcat offers this clarification of the impacts of installing the sand dryers with or without Flue
Gas Recirculation (FGR) technology to control emissions from the sand drying process. The
purpose of FGR is to reduce NOX emissions by recirculating exhaust gases back into the
combustion chamber. External FGR involves recycling of flue gas back into the firebox as part of
the fuel-air mixture at the burner. Rather than using burner design features to recirculate gases
from within the firebox, FGR uses external ductwork to route a portion of the exhaust stream
back to the inlet side of the dryer. The cleanest fuel that is reasonably delivered to the Wildcat
property is natural gas, which is discussed in Section 2.2.3 (Fuel Consideration). As the dryers are
fueled with pipeline quality natural gas, which is inherently low in nitrogen content, fuel NOX is
not a major contributor. Given that NOX emissions from Dryer #1 and Dryer #2 are calculated to
be 23.65 tpy each, and the facility is already a minor source of NOX emissions, Wildcat would
retain that status under the proposed project. The ten-year annualized cost for installing Dryer
#1 with LNB and without FGR technology is $217,371.43 per ton NOX per year and Dryer #2 is
[5] In wet scrubbing processes, solid particles are removed from a gas stream by transferring them to a liquid. The
liquid most used for wet scrubbing is water.

$243,929.02 per ton NOX per year, whereas the cost of reducing NOX emissions using the
Megastar LNB with FGR technology would be $61,673.59 and $69,089.80 per ton NOX per year
for Dryer #1 and Dryer #1, respectively, as shown in Tables 3 and 4 in Section 2.2.5 (Economic
Impacts). With the economic and environmental impacts in mind, the FGR is inappropriate for
sand drying from the perspective of energy impact.
2.2.2 Energy Impacts
Energy impacts are the first criteria to consider when conducting BACT analyses. Certain types of
control technologies have inherent energy penalties associated with their use and industry
application. For instance, baghouses and cyclones require energy to generate and regulate air
flow through control devices. These control devices use induced draft fans to pull air from the
source of the pollutants to send the dirty exhaust through adequate control. Based on the
industry application of sand drying already requiring air flow through the unit for adequate
temperature and moisture removal, almost all dryers are pre-designed with an integral cyclone
and baghouse designed as part of the drying system. Other add-on controls such as low-NOX/low-
CO burning, and catalytic type emission controls are not integral or inherent to the design of a
sand dryer.
In contrast, special burners and catalysts to reduce combustion gases are counterproductive to
the sand drying process and typically adversely affect dryer temperature and inefficiently
increase the backpressure and energy needed for sand drying. [6]
A baghouse or fabric filter uses an induced draft fan to pull air through bags or cartridges which
are used as the filter medium. Particulates attach to the bags and coat the bags in a fine layer of
dust. The bags are then cleaned when airflow becomes restricted for re-use in capturing
particulates from the air. A cyclone is often used as a pre-cleaner unit to fabric filter as they would
share flow and energy requires. Cyclones use an induced draft fan to pull air into a cylindrical
tube where centrifugal motion causes particles to hit the side wall of the cyclone and fall out of

the control device and are not released into the ambient air. Clean air is then pushed out through
the exit of the cyclone. An induced draft fan on a cyclone is typically sized smaller than a baghouse
because less energy is required to move air through the system. Based on research of publicly
available vendor data, and manufacturer data provided, it appears that the average-sized
baghouse for a 150 ton per hour sand dryer typically requires approximately 130 horsepower
(HP) of energy usage to maintain airflow. On a kilowatt (kW) basis, 130 HP is approximately 97
kW of energy. The Wildcat dryer models are inherently designed with this air flow to match
cyclone and baghouse requirements. The system is efficiently designed such that the energy
required for the cyclone baghouse tandem is also used to balance air flow for the sand drying
process. Therefore, the maximum energy impact is closer to a zero or nil impact in practice due
to the inherency of dryer-cyclone-baghouse shared air flow.
Another type of PM control is the wet scrubbing processes. This would be where solid dust/sand
particles are removed from a gas stream by adsorbing with a liquid along with condensing back
half particulates. Water is the liquid most used within the aggregate industry for PM wet
scrubbing. A wet scrubber's particulate collection efficiency is directly related to the amount of
energy expended in contacting the gas stream with the scrubber liquid. Most wet scrubbing
systems operate with particulate collection efficiencies near 95 percent whereas fabric filters
usually attain greater than 99 percent control. [7] There are differing energy usage levels for wet
scrubbers. A low energy wet scrubber utilizes pressure drops less than 5 inches of water column
(WC) and is capable of efficiently removing particles greater than about 5-10 micrometers in
diameter. A medium energy scrubber has a pressure drop from 5 to 25 inches of WC. For this, a
typical water pump and fan would require approximately 200 kW of energy (0.682 MMBtu/hr).
A fourth type of PM control device to be analyzed is an electrostatic precipitator (ESP). ESPs use
charged electricity to attract dust particles to the side walls, which are then “rapped” off using
automated hammer-like devices. ESPs are energy-intensive, and the efficiency can vary
depending on the type of dust being collected. ESPs use very high amounts of energy for their

induced draft fans, plate charging, and mechanical rapping. It is difficult to estimate the amount
of energy needed, but the EPA estimates that an ESP equipped on the exhausted of the sand
dryers would have energy usage of 86,000 kW (293 MMBtu/hr) each.[6] For this reason, the
energy impacts deem ESP as infeasible for BACT on a sand dryer.
Low-NOX and low-CO type burning technology would typically require combustion temperature
manipulation and reduction which is usually counterproductive to the sand drying process. For
low-NOX, the combustion temperature may be reduced in several ways with the goal of keeping
the chambers below 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit (°F); this is the temperature at which thermal NOX
formation occurs. Four primary firing techniques to reduce NOX formation include: fuel rich
mixtures to limit the amount of oxygen available; fuel lean mixtures to limit temperature by
diluting energy input; injecting cooled oxygen-depleted flue gas into the combustion air to dilute
energy; and/or injecting cooled flue gas with added fuel. Low-NOX burners are based partially on
these principles. The basic technique is to reduce the temperature of combustion products with
an excess of fuel, air, flue gas, or steam. This methodology is the basis to avoid most of the
nitrogen from becoming ionized at 1,400 °F. [8]
There is an additional methodology to reduce NOX that involves steam injection, which is usually
used in boilers. This is not feasible with sand dryers due to their functionality of removing
moisture from sand. Adding water to the rotary drum to Dryer #1 would drastically decrease the
efficiency of the moisture removal process from the sand.
Typically coupled with and considered as a portion of the low-NOX burner (LNB) is flue gas
recirculation (FGR). Recirculation of cooled dryer exhaust and/or ambient air reduces the
temperature by diluting the oxygen content of combustion chamber air, and by causing heat to
be diluted in a greater mass of flue gas for temperature manipulation. Heat in the flue gas can be
recovered by a venting design and duct work. This reduction of temperature lowers the NOX

concentration that is generated. Again, if the sand dryer chambers are kept below 1,400 °F, then
the thermal NOX formation will be negligible. [9]
The nature of LNB and FGR tend to be counterintuitive for the sand drying process as high
chambers increase drying efficiency. The goal of LNB and FGR is to reduce temperature in the
combustion chamber. For purposes of energy impacts, third-party engineers would estimate that
dryer efficiency would likely be affected by 17 percent, [10] or approximately 25.5 tons per hour
for a 150 ton per hour dryer. According to burner manufacturer’s Legacy Hauck- Honeywell
Process Solutions/Honeywell Thermal Solutions (HPS/HTS or Honeywell), an FGR would require
a burner of 54 MMBtu/hr to be able to achieve 150 tons per hour drying rate. This needs an
energy increase of 50%. In addition, LNB and FGR would require a 50 HP blower. [11] The blower
energy impact would equate to approximately 37 kW (0.126 MMBtu/hr). The high energy impact
and counterproductivity of LNB and FGR can potentially eliminate these from the BACT
determination for the sand dryers.
Third-party engineers indicated that any low-CO burner (LCB) technology would likely negatively
affect the NOX emission rate, and further, LCB are more expensive and would require more
energy than NOX burner technologies. Given Uintah County is non-attainment for ozone, CO is
innocuous in the formation of ozone and NOX significantly contributes to ozone, ARC assumes
the DAQ would prefer low-NOX technologies be evaluated as opposed to other controls that do
not limit ozone. Moreover, as indicated by third-party engineers, LCB technology is less efficient
and would require more energy than LNB technologies. Thus, LCB technologies are deemed to
be a secondary consideration for BACT given LNB technologies have a lower energy,
environmental, and economic impact, and so if LNB/FGR is later considered as possible for BACT,
than LCB can be revisited and re-evaluated as a BACT on a dryer equipped with LNB/FGR.
CO and VOC emissions from the sand dryer exhaust could theoretically be reduced by an
oxidation catalyst or catalytic style control technologies. These would need to be equipped after

baghouse or filter control to avoid fouling or plugging of the catalyst. As discussed earlier, there
are not publicly available or demonstrated examples of catalyst technology on sand dryers to
control CO and VOC; further, there are not publicly available or demonstrated add-on CO or VOC
exhaust reduction for any sand dryer fired with propane or natural gas. At the direction of the
DAQ, this analysis considers the most reasonable option to control VOC given Uintah County is
non-attainment for ozone, and VOC contributes to ozone. Perhaps most appropriate by
comparison is the 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engine
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (RICE NESHAP) where gas engine
combustion exhaust is somewhat comparable to sand dryer exhaust. With the RICE NESHAP, EPA
determined that oxidation catalysts for two-stroke lean-burn (2SLB) and four-stroke lean-burn
(4SLB) engines, and non-selective catalytic reduction (NSCR) for four-stroke rich burn (4SRB)
engines are applicable controls for CO and VOC reduction from existing stationary spark ignition
RICE to the extent of close to 70 percent. To determine the validity and costs for these catalytic
control technologies, equipment information was obtained from industry groups [12] and vendors
and manufacturers of spark ignition engine control technology. Catalyst and NSCR require
exhaust to be heated to activate the catalyst; the exhaust post baghouse would require an
additional burner close to 10 MMBtu/hr or 2,930 kW. Further, a considerable amount of
backpressure would be added due to a catalyst or NSCR. For purposes of energy impacts from
backpressure, third-party engineers would estimate that dryer efficiency would likely be affected
close to ten percent; this would equate to an energy impact of 1.8 MMBtu/hr or 527 kW. The
energy impact and additional burners needed for CO and VOC control are infeasible in practice,
and further, these would increase NOX emissions per ton of aggregate dryer.
2.2.3 Fuel Consideration
Natural gas is delivered via pipeline to the Wildcat facility for fuel use for the sand dryers. When
natural gas is utilized, LNB technologies can have less cost and environmental impact than other

fuels, such as propane. LNB technologies for propane are less researched/developed and
inherently higher with NOX emissions due to chemical properties, therefore natural gas is
cleanest fuel that can be delivered to the facility for sand dryer combustion.
2.2.4 Environmental Impacts
Environmental impacts include any unconventional or unusual impacts of using a control device,
such as the generation of solid or hazardous waste, water discharges, visibility impacts, or
emissions of unregulated pollutants. For example, a wet scrubber may discharge contaminated
water, or a spent catalyst may create hazardous waste. Due to the infeasibility of energy impacts
for catalyst and NSCR technologies, these were eliminated in Section 2.2.2 from BACT, but for a
further example, spent catalyst that could be considered hazardous and would need to be
disposed of, or otherwise handled, every two to four years dependent upon vendor and
technology selected. Environmental impacts or PM and NOX control technologies are evaluated
because other criteria pollutants are not relevant for Wildcat’s sand dryers.
In terms of the plausible control devices for particulates to be used at the sand dryer, a wet
scrubber has the potential to discharge water, although it is very unlikely that this water would
be contaminated because sand is the only agent being sent to the water of a scrubber. In some
cases, discharges of high suspended solids in water from wet scrubbers can be a compliance
concern, but with appropriately handled pond systems, this is usually not an issue. Additionally,
a wet scrubber is not a very good candidate for controlling particulates, as scrubbers are not as
efficient at removing particulates as other control devices specifically meant for particulate
control.
Regarding possible control devices such as a baghouse and cyclone, the material captured by the
control device is not anticipated to be hazardous waste, as it is a recoverable product that Wildcat
can return to the process. Sand coating the bags or filters in a baghouse is not a concern when it
comes to disposal of bags that have aged out of usefulness or malfunctioned. Spent filter bags
are usually sent back to the vendor for recovery or to the landfill as non-hazardous waste.

LNB with FGR do not collect material or generate waste for environmental impact. Use of LNB
can sometimes have a negative effect on CO and VOC emissions due to loss of ignition and
retarded combustion. This increases CO and VOC emissions rate. As discussed earlier, Uintah
County is more focused on NOX removal from the environment as opposed to CO due to NOX’s
reactivity in the atmosphere, and CO’s lack thereof. LNB with FGR units are projected to have a
useful life close to ten years, so there would be an impact of disposing or recycling spent burner
materials of steel and ceramic.
Furthermore, the 54 MMBtu/hr burner required for the LNB with FGR option[13] increases all
pollutants, including HAP, VOC, CO, greenhouse gases (GHG), and non-filterable PM, except NOX,
by 50 percent from natural gas combustion.[14] This 50 percent increase results from increased
fuel usage required for a burner 50 percent larger than the proposed 38 MMBtu/hr Starjet burner
in comparison to the required 54 MMBtu/hr Megastar burner for the LNB with FGR option.
2.2.5 Economic Impacts
For economic impacts of control equipment, the costs of a baghouse, cyclone, and LNB with FGR
were analyzed, as all other technologies included within Section 2.2 have been previously ruled
as an ineffective or infeasible control equipment at the site for their limited ability to remove
pollutants of interest. This section analyzes the cost of the identified control equipment and the
cost per ton of pollutant control. These numbers are prior to considering any potential taxes or
subsidies on the control equipment, as identified in Form 01b for BACT analysis.
The following tables identify the capital and annual costs of each control technology that would
be incurred to Wildcat if implemented.

In addition to an initial capital cost, there are annual operating and maintenance (O&M) costs
per control device. In certain cases, there is an expected downtime for the sand dryer to service
and maintain the control device. At least annually, the dryers will need to be shut down to open
the baghouses internally and evaluate filter media for damage or replacement needs. The LNB
and FGR will need to be serviced and tuned to ensure the emission rates provided are being
attained. In both cases, it takes time for shutdown, equipment cooling, maintenance, targeted
tuning and adjustments, and startup. For the baghouse and LNB, each occurrence of inspection
and tuning would be expected to take a full day, or approximately eight hours. Third-party
engineers would estimate that dryer efficiency would likely be affected by 17 percent,[16] or
approximately 25.5 tons per hour, for a 150 ton per hour dryer. According to burner
manufacturer’s Legacy Hauck-Honeywell, an LNB with FGR would require a burner of 54

Based on the costs of these control devices, Tables 3 through 5 on the following page describes
the pollutant removal efficiencies of each control device and the cost per ton of pollutant control
over the course of the first year of the control device being active. For the purposes of this
analysis, PM, PM10, and PM2.5 have been speciated.
[17] Currently and historically for the last five years, dry sand, silica sells on the market between $50 to $100 per ton.
Wildcat’s dryers are designed to operate at 150 tons per hour without LNB. On an hourly basis, this equates to $7,500
if the minimum price of sand per ton is assumed, 150 ton/hr * $50 = $7,500 per hour. The Service Estimate attached
as supporting documentation plans for two days where the plant will not be running. Expert tuning will be necessary
once per year for the Starjet burner, and twice per year for the Megastar burner. Each O&M outage is expected to
be eight hours, 8 hr * $7,500/hr * two days = $120,000 for each service period.
[18] As explained in Section 2.2.2, LNB and FGR reduce thermal efficiency by approximately a minimum of 17 percent.
Honeywell experts indicate a 54 MMBtu/hr burner would be needed to maintain the 150 tons per hour drying
capacity. For each additional MMBtu/hr of natural gas needed would equate to close to three dollars per hour, if
not more. As an example for Dryer #2, to be conservative, three dollars per MMBtu of natural gas is assumed 16
MMBtu/hr * $3/MMBtu = $48/hr, which could be 8,664 hrs at $48/hr of lost production, 8,664 = 8,760 hr/yr minus
96 hr/yr of O&M, for total of $415,872/yr.

When gathering an emissions profile for the process at Wildcat, it was conservatively calculated
that PM, PM10, and PM2.5 emission factors were identical for natural gas combustion purposes.
During the process of sand drying, it is more likely that larger particles than PM10 would be
emitted due to the size of sand mined and processed. The PM emission factors were used with a
conservative assumption that 50 percent of emitted PM is for PM10 and PM2.5.
The baghouse was conservatively assumed to have a 99% control efficiency of all particulates.
The cyclone control efficiency was taken from AP-42 Appendix B.2, Table B.2-3 (09/1990, AIRS
code 075) for a single cyclone. Cyclones typically have a larger removal efficiency for larger
particulates based on design. The cut size of a particulate that can be controlled via centrifugal
forces is generally much larger than what can be captured by a physical media like a bag or filter.
Uncontrolled NOX emissions are based upon emission factors from EPA’s AP-42 Tables 1.4 for
Natural Gas Combustion (7/1998) with a conversion factor such that 1,050 MMBtu is 1,000,000
standard cubic foot (MMscf). The controlled NOX rate with LNB and FGR was provided by Tarmac
and Honeywell/Hauck as would be the lowest emitting NOX technology on the market and
specifically designed for the Tarmac sand dryer [19].

Based upon Tables 3 and 4, the economic ten-year annualized cost for the baghouse and cyclone
tandem is cost effective for BACT. Table 3 considered the O&M and increased fuel from Megastar
LNB without FGR which shows an exorbitantly high for $217,371.43 for Dryer #1 and $243,929.02
for Dryer #2 annualized cost per ton of NOX. Without FGR, the Megastar technology is capable of
potentially removing less than three tons of NOX per year. The emissions from the Megastar LNB
only burner technology was calculated, showing that most of the attributed to additional fuel
required for the Megastar burner; if a thermal efficiency production loss is accounted, the ten-
year annualized cost for LNB is $61,673.59 per ton of NOX removed per year for Dryer #1 and
$69,089.80 per ton of NOX removed per year for Dryer #2, as shown in Table 4. Both economic
scenarios demonstrate that Megastar LNB, and Megastar LNB with FGR are not feasible on a cost
basis which was also alluded to in Section 2.2.2 in evaluation of energy impacts. Thus, the analysis
for Wildcat’s sand dryer deems a cyclone and baghouse tandem is BACT, and the sand dryer is
consistent with, and better than, EPA’s requirements and review pursuant to CAA Section 111;
LNB with FGR is not feasible for Wildcat’s sand dryer based on energy and economic impact.

2.3 Potential BACT Options for Filter Press Engine
2.3.1 Energy Impacts
Certain types of control technologies have inherent energy penalties associated with their use
and industry application. New, modern engines utilize clean technology that are NSPS site
compliant capable. The use of post-manufacturing add-on controls would require additional
energy consumption for the manufacturing and transport of the Engine as well as the transport
of manpower required for assembly and troubleshooting. It is difficult to estimate the amount of
energy needed, however the low-emissions levels of the Engine deem add-ons infeasible.
2.3.2 Environmental Impacts
Environmental impacts include any unconventional or unusual impacts of using a control device,
such as the generation of solid or hazardous waste, water discharges, visibility impacts, or
emissions of unregulated pollutants. In the case of the natural gas Engine, spent catalyst
reduction agent that could be considered hazardous would need to be disposed of, or otherwise
handled, every two to four years, dependent on vendor and technology selected.
2.3.3 Economic Impacts
Pollutant emissions from the internal combustion engine include NOX, PM10, PM2.5, CO, and VOCs.
Annual operation of the Engine will be 8,760 hours. The potential emissions from the Engine are
provided in Table 5. The following analysis will illustrate that the use of the Engine as supplied by
the manufacturer without any additional emission control methods is recommended due to
meeting or being below the standards for appropriate emissions as outlined in 40 CFR Part 60,
Subpart JJJJ, and any additional control technologies would create an undue cost burden on the
Sand Plant.

[1] Exhaust gas recirculation is not part of the original manufacturer design. Therefore, it is not feasible without
substantial engineering overhaul of the units.
The Engine is subject to the NOX, CO, and VOC standards outlines in Table 1 of 40 CFR Part 60,
Subpart JJJJ for non-emergency spark ignition natural gas engines between 100 hp and 500 hp
manufactured after July 1, 2008. The Engine, as manufactured, meets the standards, therefore,
no additional control technology will be required or used with the Engine.

Non-Selective Catalytic Reduction (NSCR) was evaluated. NSCR is often referred to as a three-
way conversion catalyst system because the catalyst reactor simultaneously reduces NOX, CO and
hydrocarbons, and involves placing a catalyst in the exhaust stream of the Engine. However, NSCR
technology works with rich-burn engines only. Because the Engine is a lean-burn unit, the use of
a NSCR is not applicable.

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is used to reduce NOX emissions from lean-burn engines using
a reducing agent, such as ammonia or urea. SCR systems inject the reduction agent into the lean-
burn exhaust stream. The agent reacts selectively with the flue gas NOX, converting it to
molecular nitrogen (N2), and water vapor (H2O). Control for a SCR system is typically 80-95%
reduction of NOX (EPA, AP-42 Section 3.2).
An oxidation catalyst is a post-combustion technology that has been shown to reduce CO
emissions in lean-burn engines. Ina catalytic oxidation system, CO passes over a catalyst, usually
a noble metal, which oxidizes the CO to CO2 at efficiencies of approximately 90% for 4-stroke
lean-burn engines. When used in conjunction with a SCR system, the CO2, water, and NOX then
enter the SCR catalyst, where the NOX reacts with the reducing agent.
The Engine, using lean combustion technology involves the increase of the air-to-fuel ratio to
lower the peak combustion temperature, thus reducing formation of NOX. Typically, engines
operate at the air-to-fuel ratio of about 20 to 35 pounds of air to pound of fuel. In a typical Lean-
Burn engine, this ratio is increased to 45 to 50. With a conventional spark ignition, the air fuel
ratio can only be increased to a certain point before the onset of lean misfire. To avoid misfire
problems and to ensure complete combustion of very lean mixtures, the engine manufacturers
have developed torch ignition technology and the application of a controlled swirl. Some increase
in fuel consumption and CO and HC emissions results from the slower flame propagation for very
lean mixtures. At optimal setting new lean burn engines can achieve NOX levels of 2 g/hp-hr (gram
per horsepower-hour) or below. This corresponds to an 80 to 90 percent control over
conventional spark plug design engines.
The total estimated capital investment associated with the installation, startup, and equipment
costs of a SCR is $2,127,689 in 2023 dollars, in accordance with EPA’s Cost Reports and Guidance
for Air Pollution Regulations, Section 4, SCR Cost Calculation Spreadsheet (updated 06/12/2019).
This total is calculated based on industry costs collected and validated by the EPA in 2016 and
then adjusted to 2023 dollars on the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index (CEPCI). It was
estimated that each catalyst has an operational life of 20,000 hours. Because the Engine will

operate 8,760 hours annually, it is determined that significant maintenance activities will be
required every 27 months. Each SCR unit is anticipated to have a use life of 20 years before
requiring complete replacement. With an effectiveness in reducing NOX emissions by 85%, a SCR
would remove an estimated 7.93 tpy. This results in a cost effectiveness of $34,060 per ton of
NOX removed in 2023 dollars.
2.4 Other Considerations
Form 01b for BACT determination guidance from the Division lists 11 “other considerations” for
BACT analyses. Per each consideration listed, Wildcat and ARC are providing response as follows.
1. “When exceeding otherwise appropriate costs by a moderate amount would result in a
substantial additional emissions reduction.”
Based on the analysis in Section 2.2 and 2.2.5 of this BACT determination, the pollution
control cost for PM reduction technologies provides the maximum amount of PM removal.
NOX only has the potential to be reduced by 10.16 tons of NOX per year for each dryer and
7.93 tons of NOX per year for the Engine based upon potential to emit. The small amount is
due to Wildcat’s relatively small burner and Engine in terms of comparison to large industrial
aggregate producers and synthetic minor/major sources of emissions. Wildcat is a natural
minor source of emissions. Additionally, the Engine emissions are below the standards for
appropriate emissions as outline in 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ. There are no control
technologies that would result in a substantial additional emissions reduction, therefore the
cost associated with any add-on control technology would be considered substantial and well
beyond a moderate amount.
2. “When a control technology would achieve controls of more than one pollutant (including
HAPs).”
Particulate control equipment does have the ability to remove solid metallic HAPs, however,
it is assumed that any metallic HAP emissions from Dryer #1, Dryer #2, or Engine would be
negligible, and an analysis of metallic HAPs was not included in this determination. A
baghouse is not likely to control any gaseous pollutants. LNB with FGR is not considered to

Wildcat Dryer BACT Analysis
Section 2

_________________________________ Page 24 of 25
reduce HAPs or any other pollutant besides NOX, and as shown in Section 2.2.1, HAPs are
increased with LNB and FGR. The NSCR is the only control technology available for the Engine
that could reduce NOX and CO, however the technology only works with rich-burn engines.
Because the Engine is a lean-burn unit, use of a NSCR is not appliable.
3. “Where the proposed BACT level would cause a new violation of an applicable NAAQS or PSD
increment. A permit cannot be issued to a source that would cause a new violation of either.”
This BACT will not cause a violation of NAAQS or PSD for any proposed equipment.
4. “When there are legal constraints outside of the Clean Air Act, such as a SIP or state rule,
requiring the application of a more stringent technology than one which otherwise would
have been determined to be BACT.”
There are no additional legal constraints that would require more stringent technology be
used at Dryer #1, Dryer #2, or the Engine.
5. “Any time a permit limit founded in BACT is being considered for revision, a reopening of the
original BACT determination must be made, even if the permit limit is exceeded by less than
the significant amount. Therefore, all controls upstream of the emission point, including
existing controls, must be re-evaluated for BACT.”
Dryer #1 BACT was within AO #DAQE-IN159980003-21, issued July 1, 2021. The Wildcat Dryer
#2 and Engine are new equipment and new BACT determinations; an analysis of existing
equipment is included in Section 2.1.
6. “The cost of all controls, including existing controls and any proposed control improvements,
should be expressed in terms of a single dollar year, preferably the current year. Any proposed
improvements should then be added to that cost, also in today’s dollars.”
The cost of control for Dryers #1 and #2 were determined using the dollar year 2019 and
2020, consistent with vendor quotes collected for the project. The cost of control for the
Engine was determined using dollar year 2023.

7. “EPA cannot provide a specific cost figure for cost/ton of pollutant removed without
contradicting the PSD definition of BACT. They recognize that a case-by-case evaluation is
inherently judgmental and can be particularly difficult without a cost guideline.”
The impacts of energy and costs of control were determined using EPA emission factors,
control efficiencies, and published studies.
8. “A top-down type of BACT analysis is recommended by EPA and required by Utah.”
A top-down type of BACT analysis was used, and ARC and Wildcat were over inclusive in
considering several control technologies, including CO and VOC not demonstrated in any case
publicly available, permitted, or published.
9. “DAQ will review BACT determination for plants not yet built, if those plants have already
applied for AOs and BACT determinations have already been made or proposed.”
The new Wildcat Dryer #2 and Engine are not yet constructed. The Sand Plant has an issued
AO and BACT determination for the current sand dryer, haul roads, and process equipment.
10. “Utah must ensure that any technically feasible improvements to existing controls that would
fall within the realm of reasonableness be considered, unless the improvement would yield
insignificant additional control.”
All reasonable controls have been considered for this analysis.
11. “In all cases, a complete BACT analysis must be submitted and must consider environmental
and energy, as well as economic impacts, unless an existing BACT determination/approval is
applicable to your source and is acceptable to the DAQ.”
The proposed BACT for Wildcat follows Form 01b, UAC R307-101-2, EPA federal standards,
and capability of the sand drying techniques nationwide.

Richard,
Tarmac International, Inc.’s baghouses as used is drying aggregate and sand are capable of
meeting at or below a .01 grain loading per standard cubic foot. In order for the baghouse to work at these levels the baghouse must be maintained and cleaned. Part of maintenance is completing a black light test where any failed or leaking bags can be
found and replaced. Also, cleaning the surfaces of the clean air plenum including the under side
of the doors, tubesheet, and side walls should be done yearly and before a stack test or after replacing bags. Also, any flanges between the dirty air plenum and the exhaust stack must be caulked and bolted tight. Running a pressure drop across the tube sheet at 4” WC is a must, as the dust on the bags is integral to the baghouse filtering out particulate. Pulsing should be at 80
psig with a pulse interval at no greater than every 10 seconds.
The baghouse must also be sized correctly with a low air to cloth ratio if the material being dried, is fine material. In the case of the Wildcat baghouse and system purchased from Black Mountain, that dryer, cyclone pre-dust collector, baghouse size, ductwork, and ID fan size are
well balanced and the air to cloth ratio is below a 4.0:1, which is an excellent air to cloth ratio.
In conclusion, with correct installation, maintenance, and operation the baghouse particulate emissions will be at .01 or below. Regards,

3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Wildcat Sand, LLC (Wildcat or Facility) operates a sand processing facility in the Uinta Basin with drying
operations with additional handling equipment located approximately seven (7) miles to the southeast of
Roosevelt, Utah. Wildcat is planning to install a second sand dryer to increase operations, as well as remove
hourly and production limits that are currently implemented in Approval Order (AO) DAQE-AN159980003-21.
The additional sand dryer will be equipped with a 38.0 million British thermal unit per hour (MMBtu/hr) natural
gas burner.
The Facility is located in Northeast Utah in Uintah County. The Facility has emission sources capable of producing
Particulates less than 10 micrometers in diameter (PM10), Particulates less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter
(PM2.5), Nitrogen Oxides (NOX), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Volatile Organic Compounds
(VOC). However, the VOC, PM2.5, SO2, and CO emissions are negligible from the modeling standpoint, thus, the
impacts for PM10 and NO2 are reviewed in this ambient air quality impact analysis (AQIA). The maximum ambient
air quality impacts for the proposed changes to the Facility are shown in Table 3-1.
This AQIA is being submitted to the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Air Quality (UDAQ)
for review with a minor source Notice of Intent (NOI) and modification application to AO DAQE-AN159980003-
21. This AQIA was prepared in accordance with the Utah Division of Air Quality Emissions Impact Assessment
Guidelines, revised March 3, 2013. The AQIA evaluated the ambient air impacts from the proposed source
emissions in comparison to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), and Utah Ambient Air Quality
Standards for PM10 and NO2.
3.1 Air Quality Impact
Ambient air quality impacts of the Wildcat sand plant are assessed through dispersion modeling. Dispersion
models calculate the ambient air quality impacts of the project emissions at various receptors. Impacts are
typically categorized as local (i.e., at, or within 30 miles of, the project property line) or regional (30 miles or
more from the project).
In order to evaluate the local and nearby ambient air quality impacts, the AERMOD dispersion model was used
with five years (2016 - 2020) of meteorological data from the Vernal KVEL ASOS meteorological station, and the
Grand Junction National Weather Service Office upper air station. The proposed project emissions were assessed
alone and then combined with the background concentrations of pollutants in the area.

4 PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Wildcat Sand (Wildcat) is a sand processing plant that is planning to install an additional (1) sand dryer
and increase current operational handling at the sand processing facility that is located approximately
seven (7) miles to the southeast of Roosevelt, Utah. The current sand dryer is equipped with a 40.9 million
British thermal unit per hour (MMBtu/hr) natural gas-fired burner, and the additional sand dryer will be
equipped with a 38.0 MMBtu/hr natural gas-fired burner.
4.1 General Facility/Project Description
The Wildcat facility is a sand processing plant that produces high-quality sand for the oil and gas industry
as well as other markets. The Facility is located roughly seven (7) miles southeast of Roosevelt, Uintah
County, UT. The Facility has emission sources of Particulates less than 10 micrometers in diameter (PM10),
Particulates less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5), Nitrogen Oxides (NOX), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2),
Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC).
The sand plant with washing and screening operations currently has a 40.9 MMBtu/hr natural gas-fired
burner for the rotary sand dryer and is planning to install a 38.0 MMBtu/hr natural gas-fired burner for
the proposed fluid bed sand dryer.

5 MODELING ANALYSES APPLICABILITY
5.1 Modeling Analyses Overview
An analysis confirming that the Wildcat Sand Plant will remain in compliance with applicable air quality
standards is generally required with an air permit application. This is typically done through an air
dispersion modeling analysis.
The general approach for determining applicability and compliance with air quality standards is
summarized below:
• All emission sources at the Facility identified in the NSR application that emit a criteria pollutant
are to be considered in the evaluation.
• PTE emission rates, both in terms of maximum hourly and annual average hourly, are calculated
and compared to respective screening emission levels to identify pollutants of concern.
• Pollutants of concern are identified as those which have a PTE emission rate exceeding the
respective screening emission levels listed in UDAQ dispersion modeling guidance or UDAQ
regulations.
• Pollutants of concern must be included in an air dispersion modeling analysis. All other emitted
pollutants are deemed to be in compliance with the applicable ambient air quality standard or
allowable ambient concentration based on screening.
• For the pollutants of concern, all sources contributing to the PTE emissions of these pollutants
must be included in dispersion modeling and compared to the SIL.
• For the pollutants of concern above the SIL, all sources contributing to the PTE and Facility
emissions of these pollutants must be included in dispersion modeling and compared to the
NAAQS.
• Results from the dispersion modeling are compared to the applicable air quality standards to
determine the facility’s air quality compliance status. For criteria pollutants, ambient background
concentrations are added to the model results before comparing to the regulatory limit.

5.3 Criteria Pollutant Modeling Applicability
The Wildcat Sand Plant is composed of emission sources capable of producing total suspend particulate
(TSP), particulate matter smaller than ten microns in size (PM10), particulate matter smaller than 2.5
microns in size (PM2.5), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2). PM10 and
NO2 are the pollutants of concern for modeling purposes. The results of the preliminary analysis for PM10
and NOX emissions exceeded the applicable Significant Impact Levels (“SILs”) and, therefore, required a
cumulative analysis to demonstrate compliance with the NAAQS. The following sources operate at the

7.1 Model Selection
The Wildcat Facility incorporates emission sources including point, volume, line volume, and area sources.
Therefore, the emissions were modeled with EPA’s recommended guideline model, AERMOD, Version
22112, to evaluate air dispersion from multiple sources.
All pollutants were modeled using default regulatory modeling options. The USGS National Elevation
Dataset (NED) files were processed for the elevation data in the modeling using the AERMAP software,
Version 18081.
7.2 Model Options
The AERMOD regulatory settings of PM10 24-hour was selected for the PM10 analysis. The AERMOD
regulatory settings of NO2 1-hour was selected for the NOX analysis.
7.3 Meteorological Data
The AERMOD model was run using the five-year period (2016 – 2020) of meteorological data considered
representative of the climatology and topography of the facility location. The surface station data is from
the Vernal ASOS meteorological station – Vernal, Utah (KVEL) – which is approximately 25 miles to the
north-northeast of the Wildcat Facility. The upper air data is from the Grand Junction National Weather
Service Office – Grand Junction, Colorado, which is approximately 105 miles southeast of the Wildcat
Facility. This data set was processed by UDAQ using the AERMET program. The wind rose is attached in
Appendix C.
7.4 Effects of Terrain
The terrain surrounding the Wildcat site is relatively hilly. The surrounding terrain consists of various
ridges, and Ouray School Canal is along the south-southeast boundary. The Elevated Terrain mode was
used. Receptor elevations were entered based on elevations obtained from one (1) arc second (30 meter)
USGS National Elevation Dataset (NED) files. The datum of the NED files was UTM Zone 12 T NAD83.
7.5 Facility Layout
The Wildcat facility is located in Uintah County, Utah, which is designated as attainment or unclassifiable
for all criteria pollutants, except for ozone, which is marginal status for the area. The main entrance to the
Facility is located at UTM 4453372.27 N by 593801.10 E, Zone 12 T, NAD83. The surrounding area is a rural
area with terrain between 4,800 and 5,200 feet above mean sea level (MSL). A Plant Layout Map, detailing
the property boundary and surrounding area, is provided in Appendix A.

7.6 Effects of Building Downwash
Based on the as-built facility design, buildings and/or structures can cause potential influences on normal
atmospheric flow in the immediate vicinity of the emission sources. Therefore, potential building
downwash was addressed by utilizing the Plume Rise Modeling Enhancement (PRIME) algorithms
contained within AERMOD to evaluate GEP stack heights and building dimensions. Table 7-2 summarizes
the building parameters used.

7.7 Ambient Air Boundary
Wildcat controls the facility boundary around the processing areas from the general public. Wildcat
installed signage around the property that includes “no trespassing” signs. General public access is
impeded to the south by a steep ridgeline that acts as a natural physical barrier. As well as a ridge to the
north of the facility that acts as a natural physical barrier. In addition, any visitors must check in at the
office when coming onto the property.
7.8 Receptor Network
The following grid resolutions were based on guidance provided by UDAQ, to sufficiently demonstrate
that areas of maximum impact from the emission sources remain below the applicable standards. On-site
receptors were disabled.
7.8.1 Boundary Receptors
Boundary receptors were placed along the entire property boundary every 50 meters in linear distance.
The ambient air boundary of the Facility is the property boundary and natural physical barrier of the
Wildcat Facility. The Wildcat Facility layout is provided in Appendix A. The receptor grid is provided in
Appendix D.

8 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The dispersion modeling results presented in this AQIA demonstrate that the proposed emissions at the
Wildcat Facility will comply with all applicable UDAQ and National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
8.1 Criteria Pollutant Impact Results
The modeled concentrations of criteria pollutants were compared to the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards to demonstrate that the impacts will not cause or contribute to an exceedance of the NAAQS.
8.1.1 Cumulative NAAQS Impact Analysis
The cumulative modeling analysis was used to determine that the emissions from the sources at the
Wildcat Facility will not cause a violation of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. The pollutants
modeled for the Cumulative NAAQS Impact Analysis were PM10 and NO2. Because there was an
exceedance of the SILs, further cumulative analysis was required on a pollutant-by-pollutant basis. The
dispersion modeling results show that the emissions of the Wildcat Facility will comply with all applicable
UDAQ and National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
8.1.1.1 Particulate Matter (PM10) Impact Analysis
The modeled emission rates and parameters for these emissions sources are listed in Appendix B. The
model inputs are provided in the AERMOD input and output files. The PM10 maximum modeled impacts,
when added to the background concentrations, are below the NAAQS. The modeling results are
summarized in Table 8-1. The Isopleths of the PM10 Cumulative Analysis can be found in Appendix E.
8.1.1.2 Nitrous Oxide (NO2) Impact Analysis
The modeled inputs are provided in the AWERMOD input and output files. The NO2 maximum modeled
impacts, when added to the background concentrations, are below the NAAQS, as shown in Table 8-1.
The Isopleths of the NO2 Cumulative Analysis can be found in Appendix F.

4. Building Downwash
The source was modeled with the AERMOD model. All structures at the plant were used in
the model to account for their influence on downwash.
5. Meteorology
Five (5) years of off-site surface and upper air data were used in the analysis consisting of
the following:
Surface – Vernal, UT NWS: 2016-2020
Upper Air – Grand Junction, CO NWS: 2016-2020
6. Background
The background concentrations were based on concentrations measured in Roosevelt, Utah.
7. Receptor and Terrain Elevations
The modeling domain used by the Applicant consisted of receptors including property
boundary receptors. This area of the state contains mountainous terrain and the modeling
domain has simple and complex terrain features in the near and far fields. Therefore,
receptor points representing actual terrain elevations from the area were used in the
analysis.

8. Model and Options
The State-accepted AERMOD model was used to predict air pollutant concentrations under
a simple/complex terrain/wake effect situation. In quantifying concentrations, the
regulatory default option was selected.

Eric,
Thanks for reaching out. I've got some more requests for this application to consider it complete:
1. I found an error in the emission summary, there doesn't seem to be SO2 emissions added for the old dryer. I think
it's supposed to 0.1 tpy, please fix this error.
2. I can't tell what the emissions are supposed to be calculated at for the dryers. In the original NOI, they are listed at
23.65 tpy each for NOx. In the new BACT section, they are listed at 16.35, but this doesn't seem to match the emission
factor and natural gas consumption rate given in these tables. I also don't understand why the emissions for the dryers
are considered the same when they have slightly different ratings.
3. Can you confirm I have the correct HAP totals for the following pollutants for the facility? Perhaps a HAPs summary
table would be helpful here as well.
Hexanes - 0.6227 tpy
Acrolein - 0.076 tpy
Formaldehyde - 0.8063 tpy
Methanol - 0.370 tpy
Acetaldehyde - 0.124 tpy.
4. The BACT section for material handling on the last BACT submission cuts off before making a conclusion. I think the
intention was for it to state water sprays as BACT, but can you fix this section so it's clear?"
5. The BACT section for the Dryer burners is very confusing as written, and I'm not sure if the right calculations are
presented in this section. For example, the current section says the uncontrolled emissions are 16.34 tpy, but as stated
above and in the written explanation preceding these calculations, the uncontrolled total is supposed to be 23.65.
Additionally, does the starjet LNB option have the same heating efficiency issues that the FGR burners do? I'm referring to
the necessary increase in dryer size to reach the requested 150 ton per hour sand drying rate. I think there was a
miscommunication here, as the new table "without loss" removed the cost of increased use of natural gas, which can be
included in the economic impacts section, but still includes the "annual burner tuning" figure, which is based entirely on
potential lost profit from shutdown time while the burner is tuned, which is what I intended to say was what should be
removed from the tables. I can see why this might be considered a "Local Economic Impact" per EPA guidance, but I think
that is supposed to be considered separately on its own merits, as to avoid altering the economics of a project
substantially enough that the project would no longer be considered. In terms of considering the cost effectiveness of a
control technology, I should be evaluating the incremental cost of upgrading to a new technology. This brings up my final
point, which is I'm not sure that the incremental cost is being given, as I don't see the cost figure for the uncontrolled
burner included in the analysis. There isn't a cost listed for the burner as is without LNB or FGR technology, and the direct
cost of the upgraded technologies should be evaluated minus the cost of the existing burner, so that only the increased
cost to upgrade is considered in the evaluation.
There is a lot to discuss with point #5, so I think it would be worth having a video call to go over everything there. Please
let me know if there is a time this week where we can discuss these changes to the application. Some of these issues
come from the fact that I don't have the spreadsheets that these calculations were done in, so if possible it might be worth
including those with the next submission for this application. Thank you,
Dylan

Hi Dylan,
The engine was manufactured in 2014. It appears we may have grabbed the wrong line of emission rates from the NSPS
JJJJ’s Table 1. Sorry for the confusion on that.
Then engine can meet the 2011 standards and is certified to do so. We can revise the BACT/Application and emission
calculations accordingly.
This should not take us too long. After we address this, will the DAQ need anything further?
Thanks.

Eric and Sydney,
I've found one final issue that needs to be addressed with the application before the application can be considered
complete. The current proposal for the engine is to replace the previous 415 hp engine with a 482 hp (360 kW) engine.
When was this engine manufactured? The BACT analysis given in the application/BACT addendums state that the
emission rates in NSPS JJJJ are 2 g/hp-hr NOx, and 4 g/hp-hr CO, but according to Table 1 where these rates are taken
from, this standard could be 1 gp/hp-hr NOx and 2 g/hp-hr CO if manufactured after the applicability date listed in this

section. Moreover, it would be best to consider the feasibility of this emission rate or purchase of an engine that can meet
this emission limit regardless, since the limits established in this subpart are more than a decade old and it's reasonable
to assume these standards are technically feasible to achieve by now. If this is not possible for Wildcat Sand, we would
need an economic analysis to determine why this emission rate is not feasible for this engine. Finally, if the lower
emission rate is reasonable, I would request the emission calculations for the engine be resubmitted to adjust to the new
NOx, CO, and PM emission rates. Feel free to reach out for a meeting time to discuss this request. Thank you for your
help with this issue,
Dylan

Hi Dylan,
Thanks for sending these over. Answers below. Could you also send us your dra permit for review? It would
probably be helpful for us to start reviewing now.
1. Yes, each dryer has a cyclone before the baghouse.
2. The baghouse systems are separate; 2 dryers and 2 baghouses, with separate rou ng so that only 1 baghouse
is controlling 1 dryer.
Hope that helps.
Best.

I got the compliance review back, and they had a couple questions I wanted to run by you to confirm so I can move the
permit along.
1. I've added a cyclone to the equipment list as the application noted the cyclone is in sequence with a baghouse to
control the dryers, is this correct?
2. Is there a baghouse on each sand dryer? Or are both dryers routing to the same baghouse/dryer system?
3. Compliance indicated the Fuel Oil storage tank mentioned in the permit was found to be 1,000 gallons in the last
inspection done for the facility. Is that the correct size, or is the correct size 5,000 gallons?
Thank you for any help you can provide

2.3 Potential BACT Options for Filter Press Engine: Item 19
2.3.1 Energy Impacts
Certain types of control technologies have inherent energy penalties associated with their use
and industry application. New, modern engines utilize clean technology that are NSPS site
compliant capable. The use of post-manufacturing add-on controls would require additional
energy consumption for the manufacturing and transport of the Engine as well as the transport
of manpower required for assembly and troubleshooting. It is difficult to estimate the amount of
energy needed, however the low-emissions levels of the Engine deem add-ons infeasible.
2.3.2 Environmental Impacts
Environmental impacts include any unconventional or unusual impacts of using a control device,
such as the generation of solid or hazardous waste, water discharges, visibility impacts, or
emissions of unregulated pollutants. In the case of the natural gas Engine, spent catalyst
reduction agent that could be considered hazardous would need to be disposed of, or otherwise
handled, every two to four years, dependent on vendor and technology selected.
2.3.3 Economic Impacts
Pollutant emissions from the internal combustion engine include NOX, PM10, PM2.5, CO, and VOCs.
Annual operation of the Engine will be 8,760 hours. The potential emissions from the Engine are
provided in Table 8. The following analysis will illustrate that the use of the Engine as supplied by
the manufacturer without any additional emission control methods is recommended due to
meeting or being below the standards for appropriate emissions as outlined in 40 CFR Part 60,
Subpart JJJJ and any additional control technologies would create an undue cost burden on the
Sand Plant.

The Engine is subject to the NOX, CO, and VOC standards outlines in Table 1 of 40 CFR Part 60,
Subpart JJJJ for non-emergency spark ignition natural gas engines between 100 hp and 500 hp
manufactured after January 1, 2011. The Engine, as manufactured, meets the standards,
therefore, no additional control technology will be required or used with the Engine.

CO 2.0
VOC 0.7
NOX 1.0
Non-Selective Catalytic Reduction (NSCR) was evaluated. NSCR is often referred to as a three-
way conversion catalyst system because the catalyst reactor simultaneously reduces NOX, CO,
and hydrocarbons, and involves placing a catalyst in the exhaust stream of the Engine. However,
NSCR technology works with rich-burn engines only. Because the Engine is a lean-burn unit, the
use of an NSCR is not applicable.
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is used to reduce NOX emissions from lean-burn engines using
a reducing agent, such as ammonia or urea. SCR systems inject the reduction agent into the lean-
burn exhaust stream. The agent reacts selectively with the flue gas NOX, converting it to
molecular nitrogen (N2), and water vapor (H2O). Control for an SCR system is typically an 80-95%
reduction of NOX (EPA, AP-42 Section 3.2).
1 Exhaust gas recirculation is not part of the original manufacturer design. Therefore, it is not feasible without
substantial engineering overhaul of the units.
Wildcat BACT Analysis, v.3
Section 2
December 2023
Page 3 of 3
An oxidation catalyst is a post-combustion technology that has been shown to reduce CO
emissions in lean-burn engines. In a catalytic oxidation system, CO passes over a catalyst, usually
a noble metal, which oxidizes the CO to CO2 at efficiencies of approximately 90% for 4-stroke
lean-burn engines. When used in conjunction with a SCR system, the CO2, water, and NOX then
enter the SCR catalyst, where the NOX reacts with the reducing agent.
The Engine, using lean combustion technology involves the increase of the air-to-fuel ratio to
lower the peak combustion temperature, thus reducing the formation of NOX. Typically, engines
operate at the air-to-fuel ratio of about 20 to 35 pounds of air to pound of fuel. In a typical Lean-
Burn engine, this ratio is increased to 45 to 50. With a conventional spark ignition, the air-fuel
ratio can only be increased to a certain point before the onset of lean misfire. To avoid misfire
problems and to ensure complete combustion of very lean mixtures, the engine manufacturers
have developed torch ignition technology and the application of a controlled swirl. Some increase
in fuel consumption and CO and HC emissions results from the slower flame propagation for very
lean mixtures. At optimal setting new lean burn engines can achieve NOX levels of 1 g/hp-hr (gram
per horsepower-hour) or below. This corresponds to an 80 to 90 percent control over
conventional spark plug design engines.
The total estimated capital investment associated with the installation, startup, and equipment
costs of a SCR is $2,127,689 in 2023 dollars, in accordance with EPA’s Cost Reports and Guidance
for Air Pollution Regulations, Section 4, SCR Cost Calculation Spreadsheet (updated 06/12/2019).
This total is calculated based on industry costs collected and validated by the EPA in 2016 and
then adjusted to 2023 dollars on the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index (CEPCI). It was
estimated that each catalyst has an operational life of 20,000 hours. Because the Engine will
operate 8,760 hours annually, it is determined that significant maintenance activities will be
required every 27 months. Each SCR unit is anticipated to have a use life of 20 years before
requiring complete replacement. With an effectiveness in reducing NOX emissions by 85%, a SCR
would remove an estimated 3.95 tpy. This results in a cost-effectiveness of $67,908 per ton of
NOX removed in 2023 dollars.

1. I found an error in the emission summary, there doesn't seem to be SO2 emissions added for the old
dryer. I think it's supposed to 0.1 tpy, please fix this error.
Section 2 of the Tarmac Manufacturer Specifications (page 7) notes the 0.00 lb/hr SOX emissions rate.
2. I can't tell what the emissions are supposed to be calculated at for the dryers. In the original NOI, they
are listed at 23.65 tpy each for NOx. In the new BACT section, they are listed at 16.35, but this doesn't
seem to match the emission factor and natural gas consumption rate given in these tables. I also don't
understand why the emissions for the dryers are considered the same when they have slightly different
ratings.
The maximum PTE for Dryer 1 and Dryer 2 are each 23.65 tpy, based on the Manufacturer Specs. The
facility would like to be permitted for the absolute maximum potential. Per note [3] in the PTE calcs for
Sand Dryer 2, it notes that the emissions data for CO and NOX are identical to Sand Dryer 1.
3. Can you confirm I have the correct HAP totals for the following pollutants for the facility? Perhaps a
HAPs summary table would be helpful here as well.
Hexanes - 0.6227 tpy CORRECT
Acrolein - 0.076 tpy CORRECT
Formaldehyde - 0.8063 tpy CORRECT
Methanol - 0.370 tpy CORRECT
Acetaldehyde - 0.124 tpy. CORRECT
4. The BACT section for material handling on the last BACT submission cuts off before making a
conclusion. I think the intention was for it to state water sprays as BACT, but can you fix this section so
it's clear?"
Please note that the conclusion for the material handling section is as follows, “All other sand conveyor
transfers require the product to be dry, and potential PM emissions at the sand dryers and J & H screens
are handled by associated Fabric Filter Baghouses. The remaining transfers are of sand products, that
predominantly exceed 105 Microns particle size thus, PM emissions are not anticipated.”
5. The BACT section for the Dryer burners is very confusing as written, and I'm not sure if the right
calculations are presented in this section. For example, the current section says the uncontrolled
emissions are 16.34 tpy, but as stated above and in the written explanation preceding these
calculations, the uncontrolled total is supposed to be 23.65. Additionally, does the starjet LNB option
have the same heating efficiency issues that the FGR burners do?
No, the LNB will be able to handle the 150 tph workload.
I'm referring to the necessary increase in dryer size to reach the requested 150 ton per hour sand drying
rate. I think there was a miscommunication here, as the new table "without loss" removed the cost of
increased use of natural gas, which can be included in the economic impacts section, but still includes
the "annual burner tuning" figure, which is based entirely on potential lost profit from shutdown time
while the burner is tuned, which is what I intended to say was what should be removed from the tables.
I can see why this might be considered a "Local Economic Impact" per EPA guidance, but I think that is
supposed to be considered separately on its own merits, as to avoid altering the economics of a project
Prepared by Air Regulations Consulting, LLC
substantially enough that the project would no longer be considered. In terms of considering the cost
effectiveness of a control technology, I should be evaluating the incremental cost of upgrading to a new
technology. This brings up my final point, which is I'm not sure that the incremental cost is being given,
as I don't see the cost figure for the uncontrolled burner included in the analysis. There isn't a cost listed
for the burner as is without LNB or FGR technology, and the direct cost of the upgraded technologies
should be evaluated minus the cost of the existing burner, so that only the increased cost to upgrade is
considered in the evaluation.
ARC will make the requested edits to the “without loss” tables for clarity. Wildcat Sand is and will be
utilizing LNBs for Dryer 1 and Dryer 2, therefore, an analysis without an LNB will not be considered.

DAQE-AN159980003-21
Uintah County, UT
Dear Mr. Dylan Frederick,
On behalf of Wildcat Sand, LLC (Wildcat), Air Regulations Consulting, LLC (ARC) is submitting an
updated Best Available Control Technology (BACT) analysis for the installation of a fluid bed sand
dryer (Dryer #2) as well as a Filter Press Engine (Engine) at the Uintah County Sand Processing
Plant alongside this complete Notice of Intent (NOI) application. This BACT review was performed
pursuant to UAC R307-401-6 and the Division of Air Quality (DAQ or Division) Form 01b for BACT
determinations. Please find the enclosed addendum to the BACT analysis for the DAQ’s review.
Based on our call between DAQ and ARC representatives on July 28, 2023, the following edits
were implemented:
• Updates to all controls for the non-dryer emissions based on increase in total plant-wide
production and operation.
• Included versions of Tables 5 through 7 to remove the lost production component even
though ARC disagrees with the DAQ’s assessment that BACT does not account for lost
production.
• Removed CO and VOC ppm from the supporting documents as AP-42 applies.

1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
Wildcat Sand, LLC (Wildcat or Sand Plant) is planning to install a new Starkaire Fluid Bed Dryer
(Dryer #2) drum dryer and a Filter Press Engine (Engine) at the current processing plant, located
approximately seven miles southeast of Roosevelt Main Street, Roosevelt, Utah. Dryer #2 will be
added to an existing aggregate operation that currently crushes, washes, and dries sand; the Sand
Plant is currently operating Dryer #1, a Tarmac dryer, with a 40.9 million British thermal units per
hour (MMBtu/hr) natural gas-fired burner. With the intention of increasing sand production,
Wildcat is planning to add Dryer #2 equipped with a 38.0 MMBtu/hr natural gas-fired burner. The
360-kiloWatt (kW) Engine will be utilized at the filter press, located southeast of the current
tailing ponds. If allowed to operate for 8,760 hours per year, the sand dryers could have the
potential to produce approximately 1,314,000 tons of sand annually, each.[1] The Sand Plant will
have the potential to produce 2,628,000 tons of sand annually. The additional sand dryer is
planned to be controlled with computerized systems for fuel firing and wet sand feed along with
cyclone and baghouse dust collection consistent with the Division’s Utah Administrative Code
(UAC) and the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) federal standards and databases of
technology for new sources.
This report contains analysis of best available control technology (BACT) analysis for particulate
matter (PM), oxides of nitrogen (NOX), carbon monoxide (CO), and volatile organic compounds
(VOC) emissions for the Tarmac rotary sand dryer and the Starkaire fluid bed dryer. For reference,
UAC R307-101-2, defines BACT specifically to the following:
“BACT means an emission limitation and/or other controls to include design,
equipment, work practice, operation standard or combination thereof, based on a
maximum degree of reduction of each pollutant subject to regulation under the
Clean Air Act and/or the Utah Air Conservation Act emitted from or which results
from any emitting installation, which the Air Quality Board, on a case-by-case basis
taking into account energy, environmental and economic impacts and other costs,
[1] 1,314,000 tons equates to 150 tons per hour at 8,760 hours per year which is capable for some rotary sand dryers
with passive control technologies. If burner tuning for emissions of fuel combustion is required, then 8,760 hours
per year, and 1,314,000 tons per year, are not attainable.
Wildcat BACT Analysis

determines is achievable for such installation through application of production
process and available methods, systems and techniques, including fuel cleaning or
treatment or innovative fuel combustion techniques for control of each such
pollutant. In no event shall application of BACT result in emission of pollutants
which will exceed the emissions allowed by section 111 or 112 of the Clean Air Act.”
As the rule states, Wildcat and ARC are obligated to base proposed BACT on the most effective
engineering techniques and control equipment to minimize emission of air contaminants from
its process to the extent achievable within the industry. Furthermore, based on this definition
and the DAQ’s Form 01b Guidance on BACT, this analysis for Wildcat’s Dryers #1 and #2 and
Engine includes consideration of energy impacts, environmental impacts, economic impacts,
other considerations, and cost calculation. Wildcat and ARC are well versed in the aggregate
drying industry and have been involved in approximately 55 sand dryer projects in ten different
states, including Utah. The proposed BACT for Wildcat follows Form 01b, UAC R307-101-2, EPA
federal standards, and applicability of the sand drying techniques nationwide.

2 BACT ANALYSIS
2.1 Non-Dryer Emissions
The construction and operation of Dryer #2 will accommodate increases in sand production, from
950,000 tons of sand per year to 2,628,000 tons of sand per year, and therefore emissions from
other stages in Wildcat’s sand drying operating will also increase. Emissions will increase for each
process equipment at the facility capable of emitting particulate matter, and Wildcat’s sand
dryers and Engine will have a small increase in emissions of nitrogen oxides, VOCs, and carbon
monoxide as well.
2.1.1 Haul Road Emissions: Item 04, Item 05, Item 06, Item 07, Item 20, and Item 23
Wildcat currently applies chemical suppressant on the haul roads as well as watering to decrease
particulate emissions associated with material hauling. The loadout haul road located closest to
the main entrance is paved. The current haul roads and the planned haul roads are unpaved.
The Facility’s remote location would require a mobile concrete or asphalt batch plant near the
site to meet the needs of paving the plant’s haul roads. The cost and environmental and energy
impacts would be extreme compared to the cost of the current control method of watering and
chemical suppression. A mobile batch plant would not be able to pipe a sustainable source of fuel
associated with the asphalt or concrete production and therefore fuel such as diesel would be
utilized for the energy required to operate. The facility currently implements the controls that
meet 85% efficiency, as shown in Table 1. The addition of sweeping as a control is also infeasible
as the fuel for the vehicle would be diesel and the maintenance and equipment cost out-way the
5-10% of additional control efficiency that is recognized by the Utah Department of Air Quality
(UDAQ).
The available and technically feasible control alternatives for fugitive emissions from unpaved
haul roads are ranked in Table 1 according to control efficiency. Although paved roads with
vacuum sweeping or street sweeping with watering yield the best control efficiency, the use of
chemical suppressant and water is the most cataloged BACT determination for fugitive emissions
from haul roads.

Chemical Suppressant and Watering 85
Basic Watering and Road Base 75
Basic Watering 70
Paving roads at the Wildcat Sand facility are uneconomical due to the truck route areas involving
tight turning radiuses for the haulers that will be utilizing the roads. Trailer pups need to break
traction with the surface to follow the towing truck. This action adds an unnecessary stress on
the paved surface and causes a quicker turnaround time for repairs. For this reason, the high
initial cost along with the high maintenance cost of paving make paving impracticable. The use
of paved surfaces has seasonal disadvantages in climates with snow or freezing rain. The smooth
surface of asphalt offers little resistance to the development of ice or snow causing the roadway
to become slick until corrective measures can be deployed. Because chemical suppressants and
water sprays on roads constructed of compacted road base have been commonly and
successfully applied to control fugitive emissions from unpaved road surfaces, Wildcat Sand
assumes no significant energy, environmental, or economic impacts will prevent their selection
as BACT. Please note that the maximum speed limit on this haul road will be limited to 10 mph.
If Wildcat paved all unpaved haul roads, the total area would be 60,283.46 square feet. It is
assumed that repairs would need to be completed annually to avoid additional costs of damage
to trucks and tires due to potholes and normal wear and tear. The cost accounting for design,
grading, construction, labor, delivery costs to the remote facility, and additional costs associated
with paving is predictably estimated to be over $1,000,000.

_________________________________ Page 5 of 27
Wildcat Sand proposes to control fugitive particulate emissions from the unpaved haul roads by
applying dust suppressant(s) annually and watering as needed to maintain surface moisture
and/or prevent excessive visible emissions.
2.1.2 Wet Plant Emissions: Item 09, Item 10, Item 13, Item 14, Item 15, Item 16, and Item 17
1. Exposed Areas
Once construction of the new wet storage pile is completed, the wet plant’s remaining exposed
areas will be the haul roads, addressed in section 2.1.1.
2. Stockpiles
Fugitive emission sources at the wet plant may include storage piles. Based on USEPA’s
RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse (RBLC) database search, the following control alternatives are
considered available and technically feasible for fugitive emissions sources: water sprays, and
compaction that minimize visible emissions. No other control alternatives were listed for any
fugitive emissions sources from storage activities. For the purposes of this NOI, it is assumed that
any other particulate control approaches are either technically infeasible or would not be
considered BACT.
Table 2: Control Alternative Rankings for Non-Fugitive Emission Sources
Control Alternative Control Efficiency (%)[3]
Water Sprays 50
As shown in Table 2, the available and technically feasible control alternatives for fugitive
emissions sources are ranked according to control efficiency. The use of water sprays with
compaction, the top-ranked control alternative, is also the only listed BACT determination for
fugitive emissions from storage activities with a control efficiency of 90%. For storage piles,
Wildcat Sand assumes that the use of water sprays prior to stacking in the wet plant storage piles
is necessarily very efficient.
[3] Control Efficiency Ratings from Nevada Bureau of Air Pollution Control: Emission Control Technology – Control
Efficiency Ratings; and USEPA draft Technical Background Document for Control of Fugitive Dust at Cement
Manufacturing Plants (1998).
Wildcat BACT Analysis
Section 2

_________________________________ Page 6 of 27
It is not technically feasible to compact the material in the storage piles, as material is virtually
continuously removed as the process continues or fine materials excluded by the process is
removed back to the place of origin for backfill in the final reclamation. Wildcat Sand assumes no
control efficiency except for the moisture content of the material that comprises the stockpile.
Water sprays are utilized throughout the wet plant process and therefore, Wildcat Sand assumes
that no additional controls are necessary for the stockpiles. Controlling fugitive particulate
emissions from the storage piles by applying water as needed will sufficiently maintain surface
moisture and prevent excessive visible emissions.
3. Material Handling
Non-fugitive emission sources classified as material handling include conveyor belt transfer
points. Typical control alternatives include partial or total enclosure of the process, water sprays,
and fabric filter baghouses. In the RBLC, no control alternatives are listed as BACT for one or more
sand handling, or conveying processes, based on similar processes on the RBLC database search
for process 90.011-coal handling/processing/preparation/cleaning, from 2009 to 2019). No other
control technologies were listed for the non-fugitive sources in Wildcat Sand’s surface sand-
handling system. For the purposes of this NOI, it is assumed that any other particulate control
approaches are either technically infeasible or would not be considered BACT.
Table 3 presents the ranking of available and technically feasible control alternatives for non-
fugitive emissions sources based on control efficiency.

_________________________________ Page 7 of 27
The Wildcat Sand plant has many transfer points in varying locations, therefore enclosures
vented to a baghouse, or several baghouses is not economically feasible.
Wildcat Sand assumes no significant energy, environmental or economic impacts will prevent the
selection as BACT since enclosures with water sprays have been commonly and successfully
applied to material handling facilities.
Wildcat provides enclosures and utilizes water sprays for material handling that occurs prior to
wet processing. The material handling that occurs post wet processing does not require
additional control due to the inherent moisture content. All other sand conveyor
2.1.3 Dry Plant Emissions: Item 01, Item 08, Item 11, Item 12, Item 18, Item 21, and Item 22
1. Exposed Areas
Once construction of the new dry plant is completed, the dry plant’s remaining exposed areas
will consist of the haul roads, addressed in section 2.1.1.
2. Stockpiles
The stockpiles at the Wildcat Sand Processing Plant are part of the wet plant process, discussed
in Section 2.1.2.2.
3. Material Handling
All sand conveyor transfers, other than the material handling discussed in Section 2.1.2.3, require
the product to be dry and potential PM emissions at the sand dryers and J & H screens are
handled by associated fabric filter baghouses. The remaining sand product transfers
predominately exceed 105-micron particle size; thus, PM emissions are not anticipated.
2.1.4 Filter Press Engine
The original BACT was submitted with a 416-kW natural gas engine for emergency generation.
The manufacture certifies the Engine to meet the applicable Environmental Protection Agency’s
(EPA) New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) Subpart JJJJ for lean burn natural gas engines
75 kW (100 hp), which is BACT for generators. These federal regulations address NOX, organic
emissions, and particulates. The emissions for PM10 and PM2.5 will increase to 0.15 tpy, each.
Wildcat BACT Analysis
Section 2
August 2023
_________________________________ Page 8 of 27
In total, emissions of PM10 that are not attributed to the sand dryers will increase under this
project by approximately 24.17 tons per year, and emissions of PM2.5 that are not attributed to
the sand dryers will increase by approximately 7.63 tons per year. The Engine will have NOX
emissions that will be 9.32 tons per year, SOX emissions that will be 0.01 tons per year, and CO
emissions that will be 18.63 tons per year. These processes remain the same as they had under
the previous AO, but for increased production of sand. The control requirements established in
the previous AO will remain as the best available controls under a new permit. For these
processes, Wildcat will maintain the same standards and requirements for emissions controls.
2.2 Potential BACT Options for Dryer #1 and #2: Item 02 and Item 03
To evaluate energy impacts, environmental impacts, economic impacts, other considerations,
and cost calculations a list of potential emission controls must be comprised, and impacts and
assessments may be calculated per emission control. Form 01b and UAC R307-101-2 are clear in
advising that the application of BACT may not result in emission of pollutants which could exceed
those allowed by Section 111 or 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). CAA Section 111 and 112 tasked
the EPA to develop standards of performance for new, modified, and reconstructed sources.
Section 111 relates to standards for criteria pollutants such as PM, NOX, CO, and VOC. Section
112 relates to emissions of hazardous or toxic pollutants, which are not an issue with the Wildcat
rotary dryer nor the fluid bed dryer; moreover, there are no promulgated standards for
nonmetallic drying pursuant to Section 112 nor are hazardous or toxic emissions an area of
concern from sand drying. In contrast, the EPA has been reviewing criteria pollutant emissions
pursuant to Section 111 from nonmetallic industries, like sand processing and drying since the
1970s.
On April 23, 1986, proposed standards of performance for new sources (NSPS) sand drying
pursuant to Section 112, as published in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, (40 CFR)
Chapter I, Subchapter C, Part 60, Subpart UUU—Standards of Performance for Calciners and
Dryers in Mineral Industries (Subpart UUU). The Subpart UUU standards were heavily reviewed,
commented upon, and finalized in 1992 and 1993. Since 1992, the EPA has reviewed the Subpart
UUU standards every eight years pursuant CAA Section 111(b)(1)(B). Each review process has

Section 2

resulted in no changes to Subpart UUU, and thus Subpart UUU has been established and
reviewed by EPA over the course of the last 37 years.
“The Administrator shall, at least every 8 years, review and, if appropriate, revise
such standards following the procedure required by this subsection for
promulgation of such standards.”
The established NSPS Subpart UUU standards for new sources has only determined that PM
control techniques are the only reduction in emissions that, “…(taking into account the cost of
achieving such reduction and any non-air quality health and environmental impact and energy
requirements) the Administrator determines has been adequately demonstrated.” Please see CAA
Section 111(a)(1) for the NSPS making process. In the 37 years of review and establishing
adequate emission reduction, only PM control technologies have been demonstrated.
Of the PM control technologies that the NSPS Subpart UUU has established and proven to be
adequately demonstrated, there are dry control devices and wet scrubbers. Again, the NSPS
rulemaking process has not established any control for NOX, CO, or VOC. Acceptable emission
reduction technologies of dry control devices include cyclones,[7] baghouses,[8] and electrostatic
precipitators (ESP).[9] The only wet control device established and demonstrated were wet
scrubbers.[10] Wildcat and ARC reviewed combustion controls and burner technologies such as
low-NOX burners and/or low-CO burners for potential control of NOX and CO respectively. Other
NOX, CO, and VOC controls could theoretically/potentially include catalyst or catalytic style
control technologies; there are no instances published, permitted, or publicly available of catalyst
or catalytic style control technologies demonstrated in practice for a sand dryer.
[7] Cyclones remove PM by centrifugal and inertial forces induced by forcing particulate laden gas to change direction;
this type of technology is often referred to as pre-cleaners or collectors due their nature of removing large PM before
exhausting to another control device.
[8] A fabric filter or baghouse unit consists of one or more isolated compartments containing rows of fabric bags in
the form of round, flat, or shaped tubes, or pleated cartridges. Particle laden gas passes up along the surface of the
bags then radially through the fabric.
[9] ESP is a PM control device that uses electrical forces to move particles entrained within an exhaust stream onto
collector plates. The particles are given an electrical charge when they pass through a corona; electrodes and high
voltage generate an electrical field forcing particles to collector plates.
[10] In wet scrubbing processes, solid particles are removed from a gas stream by transferring them to a liquid. The
liquid most used for wet scrubbing is water.
Wildcat BACT Analysis

_________________________________ Page 10 of 27
Since 1996, USEPA’s RBLC has made only three documented BACT determinations. All three BACT
determinations were consistent with NSPS Subpart UUU in that only required PM control
technologies were settled upon as BACT and LAER. For reference, the three RBLC determinations
from Oregon, Wisconsin, and California are attached with this BACT analysis. NOX and CO (and
VOC) control technologies were not established in the BACT evaluation process for sand dryers.
2.2.1 Summary of BACT analysis for FGR
Wildcat offers this clarification of the impacts of installing the sand dryers with or without Flue
Gas Recirculation (FGR) technology to control emissions from the sand drying process. The
purpose of FGR is to reduce NOX emissions by recirculating exhaust gases back into the
combustion chamber. External FGR involves recycling of flue gas back into the firebox as part of
the fuel-air mixture at the burner. Rather than using burner design features to recirculate gases
from within the firebox, FGR uses external ductwork to route a portion of the exhaust stream
back to the inlet side of the dryer. The cleanest fuel that is reasonably delivered to the Wildcat
property is natural gas, which is discussed in Section 2.2.3 (Fuel Consideration). As the dryers are
fueled with pipeline quality natural gas, which is inherently low in nitrogen content, fuel NOX is
not a major contributor. Given that NOX emissions from Dryer #1 and Dryer #2 are calculated to
be 23.65 tpy each, and the facility is already a minor source of NOX emissions, Wildcat would
retain that status under the proposed project. The ten-year annualized cost for installing Dryer
#1 with LNB and without FGR technology is $217,371.43 per ton NOX per year and Dryer #2 is
$243,929.02 per ton NOX per year, whereas the cost of reducing NOX emissions using the
Megastar LNB with FGR technology would be $61,673.59 and $69,089.80 per ton NOX per year
for Dryer #1 and Dryer #1, respectively, as shown in Tables 6 and 7 in Section 2.2.5 (Economic
Impacts). With the economic and environmental impacts in mind, the FGR is inappropriate for
sand drying from the perspective of energy impact.
2.2.2 Energy Impacts
Energy impacts are the first criteria to consider when conducting BACT analyses. Certain types of
control technologies have inherent energy penalties associated with their use and industry
application. For instance, baghouses and cyclones require energy to generate and regulate air
Wildcat BACT Analysis
Section 2

flow through control devices. These control devices use induced draft fans to pull air from the
source of the pollutants to send the dirty exhaust through adequate control. Based on the
industry application of sand drying already requiring air flow through the unit for adequate
temperature and moisture removal, almost all dryers are pre-designed with an integral cyclone
and baghouse designed as part of the drying system. Other add-on controls such as low-NOX/low-
CO burning, and catalytic type emission controls are not integral or inherent to the design of a
sand dryer.
In contrast, special burners and catalysts to reduce combustion gases are counterproductive to
the sand drying process and typically adversely affect dryer temperature and inefficiently
increase the backpressure and energy needed for sand drying. [11]
A baghouse or fabric filter uses an induced draft fan to pull air through bags or cartridges which
are used as the filter medium. Particulates attach to the bags and coat the bags in a fine layer of
dust. The bags are then cleaned when airflow becomes restricted for re-use in capturing
particulates from the air. A cyclone is often used as a pre-cleaner unit to fabric filter as they would
share flow and energy requires. Cyclones use an induced draft fan to pull air into a cylindrical
tube where centrifugal motion causes particles to hit the side wall of the cyclone and fall out of
the control device and are not released into the ambient air. Clean air is then pushed out through
the exit of the cyclone. An induced draft fan on a cyclone is typically sized smaller than a baghouse
because less energy is required to move air through the system. Based on research of publicly
available vendor data, and manufacturer data provided, it appears that the average-sized
baghouse for a 150 ton per hour sand dryer typically requires approximately 130 horsepower
(HP) of energy usage to maintain airflow. On a kilowatt (kW) basis, 130 HP is approximately 97
kW of energy. The Wildcat dryer models are inherently designed with this air flow to match
cyclone and baghouse requirements. The system is efficiently designed such that the energy
required for the cyclone baghouse tandem is also used to balance air flow for the sand drying

process. Therefore, the maximum energy impact is closer to a zero or nil impact in practice due
to the inherency of dryer-cyclone-baghouse shared air flow.
Another type of PM control is the wet scrubbing processes. This would be where solid dust/sand
particles are removed from a gas stream by adsorbing with a liquid along with condensing back
half particulates. Water is the liquid most used within the aggregate industry for PM wet
scrubbing. A wet scrubber's particulate collection efficiency is directly related to the amount of
energy expended in contacting the gas stream with the scrubber liquid. Most wet scrubbing
systems operate with particulate collection efficiencies near 95 percent whereas fabric filters
usually attain greater than 99 percent control. [12] There are differing energy usage levels for wet
scrubbers. A low energy wet scrubber utilizes pressure drops less than 5 inches of water column
(WC) and is capable of efficiently removing particles greater than about 5-10 micrometers in
diameter. A medium energy scrubber has a pressure drop from 5 to 25 inches of WC. For this, a
typical water pump and fan would require approximately 200 kW of energy (0.682 MMBtu/hr).
A fourth type of PM control device to be analyzed is an electrostatic precipitator (ESP). ESPs use
charged electricity to attract dust particles to the side walls, which are then “rapped” off using
automated hammer-like devices. ESPs are energy-intensive, and the efficiency can vary
depending on the type of dust being collected. ESPs use very high amounts of energy for their
induced draft fans, plate charging, and mechanical rapping. It is difficult to estimate the amount
of energy needed, but the EPA estimates that an ESP equipped on the exhausted of the sand
dryers would have energy usage of 86,000 kW (293 MMBtu/hr) each.[6] For this reason, the
energy impacts deem ESP as infeasible for BACT on a sand dryer.
Low-NOX and low-CO type burning technology would typically require combustion temperature
manipulation and reduction which is usually counterproductive to the sand drying process. For
low-NOX, the combustion temperature may be reduced in several ways with the goal of keeping
the chambers below 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit (°F); this is the temperature at which thermal NOX
formation occurs. Four primary firing techniques to reduce NOX formation include: fuel rich
[12] EPA/452/B-02-001; https://www3.epa.gov/ttncatc1/cica/files/cs6ch2.pdf.

mixtures to limit the amount of oxygen available; fuel lean mixtures to limit temperature by
diluting energy input; injecting cooled oxygen-depleted flue gas into the combustion air to dilute
energy; and/or injecting cooled flue gas with added fuel. Low-NOX burners are based partially on
these principles. The basic technique is to reduce the temperature of combustion products with
an excess of fuel, air, flue gas, or steam. This methodology is the basis to avoid most of the
nitrogen from becoming ionized at 1,400 °F. [13]
There is an additional methodology to reduce NOX that involves steam injection, which is usually
used in boilers. This is not feasible with sand dryers due to their functionality of removing
moisture from sand. Adding water to the rotary drum to Dryer #1 would drastically decrease the
efficiency of the moisture removal process from the sand.
Typically coupled with and considered as a portion of the low-NOX burner (LNB) is flue gas
recirculation (FGR). Recirculation of cooled dryer exhaust and/or ambient air reduces the
temperature by diluting the oxygen content of combustion chamber air, and by causing heat to
be diluted in a greater mass of flue gas for temperature manipulation. Heat in the flue gas can be
recovered by a venting design and duct work. This reduction of temperature lowers the NOX
concentration that is generated. Again, if the sand dryer chambers are kept below 1,400 °F, then
the thermal NOX formation will be negligible. [14]
The nature of LNB and FGR tend to be counterintuitive for the sand drying process as high
chambers increase drying efficiency. The goal of LNB and FGR is to reduce temperature in the
combustion chamber. For purposes of energy impacts, third-party engineers would estimate that
dryer efficiency would likely be affected by 17 percent, [15] or approximately 25.5 tons per hour
for a 150 ton per hour dryer. According to burner manufacturer’s Legacy Hauck- Honeywell
Process Solutions/Honeywell Thermal Solutions (HPS/HTS or Honeywell), an FGR would require
a burner of 54 MMBtu/hr to be able to achieve 150 tons per hour drying rate. This needs an
energy increase of 50%. In addition, LNB and FGR would require a 50 HP blower. [16] The blower

energy impact would equate to approximately 37 kW (0.126 MMBtu/hr). The high energy impact
and counterproductivity of LNB and FGR can potentially eliminate these from the BACT
determination for the sand dryers.
Third-party engineers indicated that any low-CO burner (LCB) technology would likely negatively
affect the NOX emission rate, and further, LCB are more expensive and would require more
energy than NOX burner technologies. Given Uintah County is non-attainment for ozone, CO is
innocuous in the formation of ozone and NOX significantly contributes to ozone, ARC assumes
the DAQ would prefer low-NOX technologies be evaluated as opposed to other controls that do
not limit ozone. Moreover, as indicated by third-party engineers, LCB technology is less efficient
and would require more energy than LNB technologies. Thus, LCB technologies are deemed to
be a secondary consideration for BACT given LNB technologies have a lower energy,
environmental, and economic impact, and so if LNB/FGR is later considered as possible for BACT,
than LCB can be revisited and re-evaluated as a BACT on a dryer equipped with LNB/FGR.
CO and VOC emissions from the sand dryer exhaust could theoretically be reduced by an
oxidation catalyst or catalytic style control technologies. These would need to be equipped after
baghouse or filter control to avoid fouling or plugging of the catalyst. As discussed earlier, there
are not publicly available or demonstrated examples of catalyst technology on sand dryers to
control CO and VOC; further, there are not publicly available or demonstrated add-on CO or VOC
exhaust reduction for any sand dryer fired with propane or natural gas. At the direction of the
DAQ, this analysis considers the most reasonable option to control VOC given Uintah County is
non-attainment for ozone, and VOC contributes to ozone. Perhaps most appropriate by
comparison is the 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engine
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (RICE NESHAP) where gas engine
combustion exhaust is somewhat comparable to sand dryer exhaust. With the RICE NESHAP, EPA
determined that oxidation catalysts for two-stroke lean-burn (2SLB) and four-stroke lean-burn
(4SLB) engines, and non-selective catalytic reduction (NSCR) for four-stroke rich burn (4SRB)
engines are applicable controls for CO and VOC reduction from existing stationary spark ignition
RICE to the extent of close to 70 percent. To determine the validity and costs for these catalytic
Wildcat BACT Analysis

control technologies, equipment information was obtained from industry groups [17] and vendors
and manufacturers of spark ignition engine control technology. Catalyst and NSCR require
exhaust to be heated to activate the catalyst; the exhaust post baghouse would require an
additional burner close to 10 MMBtu/hr or 2,930 kW. Further, a considerable amount of
backpressure would be added due to a catalyst or NSCR. For purposes of energy impacts from
backpressure, third-party engineers would estimate that dryer efficiency would likely be affected
close to ten percent; this would equate to an energy impact of 1.8 MMBtu/hr or 527 kW. The
energy impact and additional burners needed for CO and VOC control are infeasible in practice,
and further, these would increase NOX emissions per ton of aggregate dryer.
2.2.3 Fuel Consideration
Natural gas is delivered via pipeline to the Wildcat facility for fuel use for the sand dryers. When
natural gas is utilized, LNB technologies can have less cost and environmental impact than other
fuels, such as propane. LNB technologies for propane are less researched/developed and
inherently higher with NOX emissions due to chemical properties, therefore natural gas is
cleanest fuel that can be delivered to the facility for sand dryer combustion.
2.2.4 Environmental Impacts
Environmental impacts include any unconventional or unusual impacts of using a control device,
such as the generation of solid or hazardous waste, water discharges, visibility impacts, or
emissions of unregulated pollutants. For example, a wet scrubber may discharge contaminated
water, or a spent catalyst may create hazardous waste. Due to the infeasibility of energy impacts
for catalyst and NSCR technologies, these were eliminated in Section 2.2.2 from BACT, but for a
further example, spent catalyst that could be considered hazardous and would need to be
disposed of, or otherwise handled, every two to four years dependent upon vendor and
technology selected. Environmental impacts or PM and NOX control technologies are evaluated
because other criteria pollutants are not relevant for Wildcat’s sand dryers.

In terms of the plausible control devices for particulates to be used at the sand dryer, a wet
scrubber has the potential to discharge water, although it is very unlikely that this water would
be contaminated because sand is the only agent being sent to the water of a scrubber. In some
cases, discharges of high suspended solids in water from wet scrubbers can be a compliance
concern, but with appropriately handled pond systems, this is usually not an issue. Additionally,
a wet scrubber is not a very good candidate for controlling particulates, as scrubbers are not as
efficient at removing particulates as other control devices specifically meant for particulate
control.
Regarding possible control devices such as a baghouse and cyclone, the material captured by the
control device is not anticipated to be hazardous waste, as it is a recoverable product that Wildcat
can return to the process. Sand coating the bags or filters in a baghouse is not a concern when it
comes to disposal of bags that have aged out of usefulness or malfunctioned. Spent filter bags
are usually sent back to the vendor for recovery or to the landfill as non-hazardous waste.
LNB with FGR do not collect material or generate waste for environmental impact. Use of LNB
can sometimes have a negative effect on CO and VOC emissions due to loss of ignition and
retarded combustion. This increases CO and VOC emissions rate. As discussed earlier, Uintah
County is more focused on NOX removal from the environment as opposed to CO due to NOX’s
reactivity in the atmosphere, and CO’s lack thereof. LNB with FGR units are projected to have a
useful life close to ten years, so there would be an impact of disposing or recycling spent burner
materials of steel and ceramic.
Furthermore, the 54 MMBtu/hr burner required for the LNB with FGR option[18] increases all
pollutants, including HAP, VOC, CO, greenhouse gases (GHG), and non-filterable PM, except NOX,
by 50 percent from natural gas combustion.[19] This 50 percent increase results from increased
fuel usage required for a burner 50 percent larger than the proposed 38 MMBtu/hr Starjet burner
in comparison to the required 54 MMBtu/hr Megastar burner for the LNB with FGR option.

2.2.5 Economic Impacts
For economic impacts of control equipment, the costs of a baghouse, cyclone, and LNB with FGR
were analyzed, as all other technologies included within Section 2.2 have been previously ruled
as an ineffective or infeasible control equipment at the site for their limited ability to remove
pollutants of interest. This section analyzes the cost of the identified control equipment and the
cost per ton of pollutant control. These numbers are prior to considering any potential taxes or
subsidies on the control equipment, as identified in Form 01b for BACT analysis.
The following tables identify the capital and annual costs of each control technology that would
be incurred to Wildcat if implemented.

LNB with FGR Low-NOX Burner with FGR $172,202 $197,702 Faceplate Mod $25,500
In addition to an initial capital cost, there are annual operating and maintenance (O&M) costs
per control device. In certain cases, there is an expected downtime for the sand dryer to service
and maintain the control device. At least annually, the dryers will need to be shut down to open
the baghouses internally and evaluate filter media for damage or replacement needs. The LNB
and FGR will need to be serviced and tuned to ensure the emission rates provided are being
attained. In both cases, it takes time for shutdown, equipment cooling, maintenance, targeted
tuning and adjustments, and startup. For the baghouse and LNB, each occurrence of inspection
and tuning would be expected to take a full day, or approximately eight hours. Third-party

engineers would estimate that dryer efficiency would likely be affected by 17 percent,[21] or
approximately 25.5 tons per hour, for a 150 ton per hour dryer. According to burner
manufacturer’s Legacy Hauck-Honeywell, an LNB with FGR would require a burner of 54
MMBtu/hr to be able to achieve 150 tons per hour drying rate. These annual O&M and increased

[22] Currently and historically for the last five years, dry sand, silica sells on the market between $50 to $100 per ton.
Wildcat’s dryers are designed to operate at 150 tons per hour without LNB. On an hourly basis, this equates to $7,500
if the minimum price of sand per ton is assumed, 150 ton/hr * $50 = $7,500 per hour. The Service Estimate attached
as supporting documentation plans for two days where the plant will not be running. Expert tuning will be necessary
once per year for the Starjet burner, and twice per year for the Megastar burner. Each O&M outage is expected to
be eight hours, 8 hr * $7,500/hr * two days = $120,000 for each service period.
[23] As explained in Section 2.2.2, LNB and FGR reduce thermal efficiency by approximately a minimum of 17 percent.
Honeywell experts indicate a 54 MMBtu/hr burner would be needed to maintain the 150 tons per hour drying
capacity. For each additional MMBtu/hr of natural gas needed would equate to close to three dollars per hour, if
not more. As an example for Dryer #2, to be conservative, three dollars per MMBtu of natural gas is assumed 16
MMBtu/hr * $3/MMBtu = $48/hr, which could be 8,664 hrs at $48/hr of lost production, 8,664 = 8,760 hr/yr minus
96 hr/yr of O&M, for total of $415,872/yr.

component. Furthermore, based on the costs of these control devices, Tables 6 through 7 on the
following page describes the pollutant removal efficiencies of each control device and the cost
per ton of pollutant control over the course of the first year of the control device being active.
For the purposes of this analysis, PM, PM10, and PM2.5 have been speciated.
When gathering an emissions profile for the process at Wildcat, it was conservatively calculated
that PM, PM10, and PM2.5 emission factors were identical for natural gas combustion purposes.
During the process of sand drying, it is more likely that larger particles than PM10 would be
emitted due to the size of sand mined and processed. The PM emission factors were used with a
conservative assumption that 50 percent of emitted PM is for PM10 and PM2.5.
The baghouse was conservatively assumed to have a 99% control efficiency of all particulates.
The cyclone control efficiency was taken from AP-42 Appendix B.2, Table B.2-3 (09/1990, AIRS
code 075) for a single cyclone. Cyclones typically have a larger removal efficiency for larger
particulates based on design. The cut size of a particulate that can be controlled via centrifugal
forces is generally much larger than what can be captured by a physical media like a bag or filter.
Uncontrolled NOX emissions are based upon emission factors from EPA’s AP-42 Tables 1.4 for
Natural Gas Combustion (7/1998) with a conversion factor such that 1,050 MMBtu is 1,000,000
standard cubic foot (MMscf). The controlled NOX rate with LNB and FGR was provided by Tarmac

Based upon Tables 6 and 7, the economic ten-year annualized cost for the baghouse and cyclone
tandem is cost effective for BACT. When considering the O&M and increased fuel from Megastar
LNB without FGR as shown in Table 5a, the 10-year annualized capital and O&M cost would be
$217,371.43 for Dryer #1 and $243,929.02 for Dryer #2 per ton of NOX. Without FGR, the
Megastar technology is capable of potentially removing less than three tons of NOX per year. The
emissions from the Megastar LNB only burner technology was calculated, showing that most of
the attributed to additional fuel required for the Megastar burner; if a thermal efficiency

production loss is accounted, the ten-year annualized cost for LNB is $61,673.59 per ton of NOX
removed per year for Dryer #1 and $69,089.80 per ton of NOX removed per year for Dryer #2.
These economic scenarios demonstrate that Megastar LNB, and Megastar LNB with FGR are not
feasible on a cost basis which was also alluded to in Section 2.2.2 in evaluation of energy impacts.
Thus, the analysis for Wildcat’s sand dryer deems a cyclone and baghouse tandem is BACT, and
the sand dryer is consistent with, and better than, EPA’s requirements and review pursuant to
CAA Section 111; LNB with FGR is not feasible for Wildcat’s sand dryer based on energy and
economic impact.
2.3 Potential BACT Options for Filter Press Engine: Item 19
2.3.1 Energy Impacts
Certain types of control technologies have inherent energy penalties associated with their use
and industry application. New, modern engines utilize clean technology that are NSPS site
compliant capable. The use of post-manufacturing add-on controls would require additional
energy consumption for the manufacturing and transport of the Engine as well as the transport
of manpower required for assembly and troubleshooting. It is difficult to estimate the amount of
energy needed, however the low-emissions levels of the Engine deem add-ons infeasible.
2.3.2 Environmental Impacts
Environmental impacts include any unconventional or unusual impacts of using a control device,
such as the generation of solid or hazardous waste, water discharges, visibility impacts, or
emissions of unregulated pollutants. In the case of the natural gas Engine, spent catalyst
reduction agent that could be considered hazardous would need to be disposed of, or otherwise
handled, every two to four years, dependent on vendor and technology selected.
2.3.3 Economic Impacts
Pollutant emissions from the internal combustion engine include NOX, PM10, PM2.5, CO, and VOCs.
Annual operation of the Engine will be 8,760 hours. The potential emissions from the Engine are
provided in Table 8. The following analysis will illustrate that the use of the Engine as supplied by
the manufacturer without any additional emission control methods is recommended due to

Subpart JJJJ for non-emergency spark ignition natural gas engines between 100 hp and 500 hp
manufactured after July 1, 2008. The Engine, as manufactured, meets the standards, therefore,
no additional control technology will be required or used with the Engine.

Non-Selective Catalytic Reduction (NSCR) was evaluated. NSCR is often referred to as a three-
way conversion catalyst system because the catalyst reactor simultaneously reduces NOX, CO and
hydrocarbons, and involves placing a catalyst in the exhaust stream of the Engine. However, NSCR
technology works with rich-burn engines only. Because the Engine is a lean-burn unit, the use of
a NSCR is not applicable.
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is used to reduce NOX emissions from lean-burn engines using
a reducing agent, such as ammonia or urea. SCR systems inject the reduction agent into the lean-
burn exhaust stream. The agent reacts selectively with the flue gas NOX, converting it to
molecular nitrogen (N2), and water vapor (H2O). Control for a SCR system is typically 80-95%
reduction of NOX (EPA, AP-42 Section 3.2).
An oxidation catalyst is a post-combustion technology that has been shown to reduce CO
emissions in lean-burn engines. Ina catalytic oxidation system, CO passes over a catalyst, usually
a noble metal, which oxidizes the CO to CO2 at efficiencies of approximately 90% for 4-stroke
lean-burn engines. When used in conjunction with a SCR system, the CO2, water, and NOX then
enter the SCR catalyst, where the NOX reacts with the reducing agent.
The Engine, using lean combustion technology involves the increase of the air-to-fuel ratio to
lower the peak combustion temperature, thus reducing formation of NOX. Typically, engines
operate at the air-to-fuel ratio of about 20 to 35 pounds of air to pound of fuel. In a typical Lean-
Burn engine, this ratio is increased to 45 to 50. With a conventional spark ignition, the air fuel
ratio can only be increased to a certain point before the onset of lean misfire. To avoid misfire
problems and to ensure complete combustion of very lean mixtures, the engine manufacturers
have developed torch ignition technology and the application of a controlled swirl. Some increase
in fuel consumption and CO and HC emissions results from the slower flame propagation for very
lean mixtures. At optimal setting new lean burn engines can achieve NOX levels of 2 g/hp-hr (gram
per horsepower-hour) or below. This corresponds to an 80 to 90 percent control over
conventional spark plug design engines.

The total estimated capital investment associated with the installation, startup, and equipment
costs of a SCR is $2,127,689 in 2023 dollars, in accordance with EPA’s Cost Reports and Guidance
for Air Pollution Regulations, Section 4, SCR Cost Calculation Spreadsheet (updated 06/12/2019).
This total is calculated based on industry costs collected and validated by the EPA in 2016 and
then adjusted to 2023 dollars on the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index (CEPCI). It was
estimated that each catalyst has an operational life of 20,000 hours. Because the Engine will
operate 8,760 hours annually, it is determined that significant maintenance activities will be
required every 27 months. Each SCR unit is anticipated to have a use life of 20 years before
requiring complete replacement. With an effectiveness in reducing NOX emissions by 85%, a SCR
would remove an estimated 7.93 tpy. This results in a cost effectiveness of $34,060 per ton of
NOX removed in 2023 dollars.
2.4 Other Considerations
Form 01b for BACT determination guidance from the Division lists 11 “other considerations” for
BACT analyses. Per each consideration listed, Wildcat and ARC are providing response as follows.
1. “When exceeding otherwise appropriate costs by a moderate amount would result in a
substantial additional emissions reduction.”
Based on the analysis of this BACT determination, the pollution control cost for PM reduction
technologies provides the maximum amount of PM removal. NOX only has the potential to
be reduced by 10.16 tons of NOX per year for each dryer and 7.93 tons of NOX per year for
the Engine based upon potential to emit. The small amount is due to Wildcat’s relatively small
burner and Engine in terms of comparison to large industrial aggregate producers and
synthetic minor/major sources of emissions. Wildcat is a natural minor source of emissions.
Additionally, the Engine emissions are below the standards for appropriate emissions as
outline in 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ. There are no control technologies that would result in
a substantial additional emissions reduction, therefore the cost associated with any add-on
control technology would be considered substantial and well beyond a moderate amount.

2. “When a control technology would achieve controls of more than one pollutant (including
HAPs).”
Particulate control equipment does have the ability to remove solid metallic HAPs, however,
it is assumed that any metallic HAP emissions from Dryer #1, Dryer #2, or Engine would be
negligible, and an analysis of metallic HAPs was not included in this determination. A
baghouse is not likely to control any gaseous pollutants. LNB with FGR is not considered to
reduce HAPs or any other pollutant besides NOX, and as shown in Section 2.2.1, HAPs are
increased with LNB and FGR. The NSCR is the only control technology available for the Engine
that could reduce NOX and CO, however the technology only works with rich-burn engines.
Because the Engine is a lean-burn unit, use of a NSCR is not appliable.
3. “Where the proposed BACT level would cause a new violation of an applicable NAAQS or PSD
increment. A permit cannot be issued to a source that would cause a new violation of either.”
This BACT will not cause a violation of NAAQS or PSD for any proposed equipment.
4. “When there are legal constraints outside of the Clean Air Act, such as a SIP or state rule,
requiring the application of a more stringent technology than one which otherwise would
have been determined to be BACT.”
There are no additional legal constraints that would require more stringent technology for
the equipment analyzed in this BACT report.
5. “Any time a permit limit founded in BACT is being considered for revision, a reopening of the
original BACT determination must be made, even if the permit limit is exceeded by less than
the significant amount. Therefore, all controls upstream of the emission point, including
existing controls, must be re-evaluated for BACT.”
Dryer #1 BACT was within AO #DAQE-IN159980003-21, issued July 1, 2021. The Wildcat Dryer
#2 and Engine are new equipment and new BACT determinations; an analysis of existing
equipment is included in Section 2.1.

6. “The cost of all controls, including existing controls and any proposed control improvements,
should be expressed in terms of a single dollar year, preferably the current year. Any proposed
improvements should then be added to that cost, also in today’s dollars.”
The cost of control for Dryers #1 and #2 were determined using the dollar year 2019 and
2020, consistent with vendor quotes collected for the project. The cost of control for the
Engine was determined using dollar year 2023.
7. “EPA cannot provide a specific cost figure for cost/ton of pollutant removed without
contradicting the PSD definition of BACT. They recognize that a case-by-case evaluation is
inherently judgmental and can be particularly difficult without a cost guideline.”
The impacts of energy and costs of control were determined using EPA emission factors,
control efficiencies, and published studies.
8. “A top-down type of BACT analysis is recommended by EPA and required by Utah.”
A top-down type of BACT analysis was used, and ARC and Wildcat were over inclusive in
considering several control technologies, including CO and VOC not demonstrated in any case
publicly available, permitted, or published.
9. “DAQ will review BACT determination for plants not yet built, if those plants have already
applied for AOs and BACT determinations have already been made or proposed.”
The new Wildcat Dryer #2 and Engine are not yet constructed. The Sand Plant has an issued
AO and BACT determination for the current sand dryer, haul roads, and process equipment.
10. “Utah must ensure that any technically feasible improvements to existing controls that would
fall within the realm of reasonableness be considered, unless the improvement would yield
insignificant additional control.”
All reasonable controls have been considered for this analysis.
11. “In all cases, a complete BACT analysis must be submitted and must consider environmental
and energy, as well as economic impacts, unless an existing BACT determination/approval is
applicable to your source and is acceptable to the DAQ.”
