Project Description
Compass has requested a change to its current AO DAQE-AN109170044-23. The current salt harvesting
throughput limit is redundant with the two (2) limits on processed salt products. Although the potential
exists for additional salt harvesting, the material contains residual magnesium chloride (a dust
suppressant) and maintains a high moisture content (further limiting or eliminating fugitive dust
emissions). Condition II.B.2.a(A), which limits the total salt harvest amount, is unnecessary and is being
removed.
As part of this project, Compass also wishes to include a previously submitted project. This other project
involves the inclusion of equipment and processes from Fortress North America, which was recently
acquired by Compass. Harvested magnesium chloride from the existing Compass processes and converts
it to a fire retardant. The magnesium chloride will be loaded into two (2) sealed tanks where it will be
blended with additives. The additives are introduced by a vacuum pump, which pulls the powdered
additives from the bottom of the hoppers using a negative pressure zone and deposits them into the
bottom of the mixing tanks. Emissions from the two (2) hoppers are processed by a baghouse. Inside the
tanks, the magnesium chloride is mixed with the additives. The viscous fluid will then be transported to a
holding tank to await loadout.

BH-502 0.20 0.06 0.0053
BH-503 1.54 0.23 0.01
[R307-401-8]
II.B.2.c.1 Testing Frequency:
Compliance testing shall be done on each emission source at least once every calendar year and
in the same calendar quarter in which the most recent stack test was performed. The Director
may require testing at any time. If an existing source is modified, a compliance test is required
on the modified emission point that has an emission rate limit. [R307-401-8]
II.B.2.c.2 Notification:
The Director shall be notified at least 30 days prior to conducting any required emission testing.
A source test protocol shall be submitted to DAQ. The source test protocol shall be approved by
the Director prior to performing the test(s). The source test protocol shall outline the proposed
test methodologies, stack to be tested, and procedures to be used. A pretest conference shall be
held, if directed by the Director. [R307-165]

Health Administration (OSHA) or Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)-approved
access shall be provided to the test location. [R307-165]
II.B.2.c.4 Calculations:
To determine mass emission rates (lb/hr, etc.), the pollutant concentration as determined by the
appropriate methods specified herein shall be multiplied by the volumetric flow rate and any
necessary conversion factors determined by the Director, to give the results in the specified units
of the emission limitation. [R307-165]
DAQE-AN109170049-24
Page 13
II.B.2.c.5 Source Operation:
The production rate during all compliance testing shall be no less than 90% of the permitted
production rate. If the maximum permitted production rate has not been achieved at the time of
the test, the following procedure shall be followed:
A. Testing shall be at no less than 90% of the production rate achieved in the
previous 12 months (365 days).
B. If the test is passed, the new maximum allowable production rate shall be 110%
of the tested achieved rate, but not more than the maximum allowable
production rate. This new allowable maximum production rate shall remain in
effect until successfully tested at a higher rate.
C. Testing at no less than 90% of the higher rate shall be conducted. A new
maximum production rate (110% of the new rate) will then be allowed if the test
is successful. This process may be repeated until the maximum permitted
production rate is achieved.
[R307-165]
II.B.2.c.6 Volumetric Flow Rate:
40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 2, or other EPA-approved testing methods acceptable to the
Director. [R307-165]
II.B.2.c.7 PM10/PM2.5:
For stacks in which no liquid drops are present, the following methods shall be used: 40 CFR 51,
Appendix M, Methods 201a, or other EPA-approved testing method, as acceptable to the
Director. The back half condensable particulate emissions shall also be tested using 40 CFR 51,
Appendix M Method 202, or other EPA-approved testing method as acceptable to the Director.
For stacks in which liquid drops are present, methods to eliminate the liquid drops should be
explored. If no reasonable method to eliminate the drops exists, then the following methods shall
be used: 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 5, 5a, 5d, 5i, or other EPA-approved testing methods
as acceptable to the Director. When demonstrating compliance with the PM10 and PM2.5 limits
above, all filterable particulate emissions captured using Method 5 shall be considered PM2.5,
resulting in PM10 emissions equal to that of PM2.5. Alternatively, appropriate particle sizing
analytical methods, such as: x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, or electron
microprobe analysis, may be used to determine particle sizing, as acceptable to the Director. The
back half condensable particulate emissions shall also be tested using 40 CFR 51, Appendix M
Method 202, or other EPA-approved testing method as acceptable to the Director.
[R307-165]
II.B.2.c.8 Results:
The results of stack testing shall be submitted to the Director within 60 days of the completion of
the testing. Reports shall clearly identify results as compared to permit limits and indicate
compliance status. [R307-165]
II.B.2.d The owner/operator shall vent Baghouse 505 (BH-505) indoors at all times during operation.

Project Description
Compass has requested a change to its current AO DAQE-AN109170044-23. The current salt harvesting
throughput limit is redundant with the two (2) limits on processed salt products. Although the potential
exists for additional salt harvesting, the material contains residual magnesium chloride (a dust
suppressant) and maintains a high moisture content, (further limiting or eliminating fugitive dust
emissions). Condition II.B.2.a(A), which limits the total salt harvest amount, is unnecessary and is being
removed.
As part of this project, Compass also wishes to include a previously submitted project. This other project
involves the inclusion of equipment and processes from Fortress North America, which was recently
acquired by Compass. Harvested magnesium chloride from the existing Compass Minerals processes and
converts it to a fire retardant. The magnesium chloride will be loaded into two (2) sealed tanks where it is
blended with additives. The additives are introduced by a vacuum pump, which pulls the powdered
additives from the bottom of the hoppers using a negative pressure zone and deposits them into the
bottom of the mixing tanks. Emissions from the two (2) hoppers are processed by a baghouse. Inside the
tanks, the magnesium chloride is mixed with the additives. The viscous fluid will then be transported to a
holding tank to await loadout.

NOTICE
A Notice of Intent for the following project submitted in accordance with R307-401-1, Utah
Administrative Code (UAC), has been received for consideration by the Director:
Company Name: Compass Minerals Ogden Incorporated
Location: Compass Minerals Ogden Incorporated - Production Plant – 765 North 10500
West, Ogden, UT
Project Description: Compass Minerals (Compass) has requested a change to its current Approval
Order DAQE-AN109170044-23. The current salt harvesting throughput limit is
redundant with the two (2) limits on processed salt products. Although the
potential exists for additional salt harvesting, the material contains residual
magnesium chloride (a dust suppressant) and maintains a high moisture content,
(further limiting or eliminating fugitive dust emissions). Condition II.B.2.a(A),
which limits the total salt harvest amount, is unnecessary and is being removed.
As part of this project, Compass also wishes to include a previously submitted
project. This other project involves the inclusion of equipment and processes
from Fortress North America, which was recently acquired by Compass.
Harvested magnesium chloride from the existing Compass Minerals processes
and converts it to a fire retardant. The magnesium chloride will be loaded into
two (2) sealed tanks where it is blended with additives. The additives are
introduced by a vacuum pump, which pulls the powdered additives from the
bottom of the hoppers using a negative pressure zone and deposits them into the
bottom of the mixing tanks. Emissions from the two (2) hoppers are processed
by a baghouse. Inside the tanks, the magnesium chloride is mixed with the
additives. The viscous fluid will then be transported to a holding tank to await
loadout.
The completed engineering evaluation and air quality impact analysis showed the proposed project meets
the requirements of federal air quality regulations and the State air quality rules. The Director intends to
issue an Approval Order pending a 30-day public comment period. The project proposal, estimate of the
effect on local air quality and draft Approval Order are available for public inspection and comment at the
Utah Division of Air Quality, 195 North 1950 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116. Written comments
received by the Division at this same address on or before May 3, 2024 will be considered in making the
final decision on the approval/disapproval of the proposed project. Email comments will also be accepted
at jjenks@utah.gov. If anyone so requests to the Director in writing within 15 days of publication of this
notice, a hearing will be held in accordance with
R307-401-7, UAC.
Under Section 19-1-301.5, a person who wishes to challenge a Permit Order may only raise an issue or
argument during an adjudicatory proceeding that was raised during the public comment period and was
supported with sufficient information or documentation to enable the Director to fully consider the
substance and significance of the issue.

Project Proposal
Modification to Approval Order DAQE-AN109170044-23 to Remove Salt Harvesting Limit and
add Fortress Equipment
Project Description
Compass Minerals (Compass) has requested a change to its current AO DAQE-AN109170044-
23. The current salt harvesting throughput limit is redundant with the two limits on processed salt
products. Although the potential exists for additional salt harvesting, the material contains
residual magnesium chloride (a dust suppressant) and maintains a high moisture content (further
limiting or eliminating fugitive dust emissions). Condition II.B.2.a(A), which limits the total salt
harvest amount, is unnecessary and is being removed.
As part of this project, Compass also wishes to include a previously submitted project. This other
project involves the inclusion of equipment and processes from Fortress North America, which
was recently acquired by Compass. Harvested magnesium chloride from the existing Compass
Minerals processes and converts it to a fire retardant. The magnesium chloride will be loaded into
two sealed tanks where it is blended with additives. The additives are introduced by a vacuum
pump which pulls the powdered additives from the bottom of the hoppers using a negative
pressure zone and deposits them into the bottom of the mixing tanks. Emissions from the two
hoppers are processed by a baghouse. Inside the tanks, the magnesium chloride is mixed with the
additives. The viscous fluid will then be transported to a holding tank to await loadout.

Review of BACT for New/Modified Emission Units
1. BACT review regarding combined project BACT
For the removal of the salt harvesting throughput, there is no physical change or change in the
method of operation of any of the equipment; thus no review of BACT is required. Although the
removal of the salt harvesting limit could potentially allow for additional fugitive dust, the
harvested salt is inherently low emitting, and no additional controls have been identified for
control of fugitive dusts.
For the inclusion of the Fortress North America equipment, Compass has proposed the use of a
baghouse to control particulate emissions from the two additives hoppers. As all other equipment
associated with this process is the blending, storage and conveying of non-volatile liquid materials,
no other emissions have been identified. The small amount of particulate emissions from the
hoppers (less than 0.003 tpy) are most appropriately controlled by a baghouse.
UDAQ agrees with these conclusions. [Last updated March 18, 2024]

REVIEWER COMMENTS
1. Comment regarding No change in emissions from removal of salt harvesting throughput:
The removal of the salt harvesting throughput limit will not result in an increase in emissions. The
harvested salt is inherently low (zero) emitting, as it maintains a higher moisture content and
contains residual magnesium chloride - which is a chemical dust suppressant. The source is already
limited in total processed salt products. Thus UDAQ agrees that no increase in emissions is
expected. [Last updated March 18, 2024]
2. Comment regarding Changes in conditions:
Only two conditions are being changed by this project.
I.8 is being removed as it is no longer applicable. This condition required notification of
construction on a replacement conveyor (authorized in DAQE-AN109170042-22). This condition
has been satisfied and is no longer required.
II.B.2.a.A This subparagraph lists the limit on total salt harvesting. This subparagraph is being
removed and subparagraphs B and C will be renumbered. [Last updated March 8, 2024]
3. Comment regarding inclusion of Fortress equipment:
The Fortress North America equipment consists of two hoppers, controlled by a baghouse, two
mixing tanks and two storage tanks.
The hoppers store the fire retardant additives to be blended with liquid magnesium chloride.
Material from the hoppers is vacuum fed to the mixing tanks, and the combined material is then
pneumatically conveyed to the two storage tanks. The only source of emissions associated with this
process is the baghouse exhaust. Total emissions from this process are estimated at less than 0.04
lb/hr or 0.003 tpy. [Last updated March 18, 2024]

1. EXCECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Notice of Intent (NOI) air permit application is being submitted to the Utah Division of Air Quality
(UDAQ) by Compass Minerals Ogden Incorporated - Production Plant (Compass Minerals) to
permit additional proposed operations at their existing Ogden facility in Weber County, Utah. The Ogden
Plant is located within an area that is in attainment for all criteria pollutants with exception to 2006 24-hour
PM2.5 and its precursors (NOx, SO2, VOC, and ammonia (NH3)) for which it is serious nonattainment
and the 2015 8-hour Ozone (precursors NOx and VOC) for which it is moderate nonattainment. Compass
Minerals is permitted as a major source under Utah approval order (AO) (i.e., air permit) No. DAQE-
AN109170044-23.
Compass Minerals has recently acquired Fortress North America (Fortress), a producer of next-
generation fire retardants. Fortress uses magnesium chloride derived from the previously permitted
Compass Minerals processes and manufactures it into a fire retardant. The processing utilizes a range of
equipment including a hopper, blender, and storage tank. Compass Minerals is seeking to incorporate all
emitting equipment from Fortress' operations into their current approval order. The emissions associated
with inclusion of Fortress exclusively come from the use of a baghouse to control particulate emissions.
This NOI air permit application has been developed pursuant to UAC R307-401-5 and Utah's NOI air
permit application guidance. It includes required supporting information for a modification to its approval
order which includes:

3. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND PROCESS
3.1. Description of Project
Fortress utilizes liquid magnesium chloride from the existing Compass Minerals processes and converts it
to a fire retardant. The magnesium chloride will be loaded into two sealed tanks where it is blended with
additives. The additives are introduced by a vacuum pump which pulls the powdered additives from the
bottom of the hoppers using a negative pressure zone and deposits them into the bottom of the mixing
tanks. Emissions from the two hoppers are processed by a baghouse. Inside the tanks, the magnesium
chloride is mixed with the additives. The viscous fluid will then be transported to a holding tank to await
loadout.
A process flow diagram has been developed and its associated emissions and controls have been
provided in the figure below.

4. EMISSIONS RELATED INFORMATION
This section details the methodology used to calculate controlled and uncontrolled emissions for all
criteria pollutants associated with the addition of the Fortress equipment, as regulated by R307-401-
5(2)(b). Detailed emission calculation tables are included in Attachment B. Emissions from the proposed
baghouse will be exclusively PM, PM10, and PM2.5.
4.1. Baghouse
Potential filterable PM, PM10, and PM2.5 emissions were conservatively assumed to be equal. These
emissions were determined using the design exhaust flow rate (516 acfm) and outlet grain loading rate
(0.01 gr/dscf) for the baghouse. Baghouse annual operating time was calculated to equal the operational
time necessary to control the proposed maximum annual throughput of 7.5 MMgallons of fire-
retardant concentrate per year. The design exhaust flow rate was converted from actual cubic feet per
minute to dry standard cubic feet per minute using the monthly average ambient temperature and
pressure in Ogden, Utah for 2013- 2024 and the meteorological data obtained from the Utah Climate Center
website. The calculation methodology for annual filterable PM, PM10, and PM2.5 emissions is presented
below:

5. CHARACTERIZATION OF THE SOURCE AND PROJECT
5.1. Area Attainment Status
The Ogden Plant is located within an area that is in attainment for all criteria pollutants with exception to
2006 24-hour PM2.5 and its precursors (NOx, SO2, VOC, and ammonia (NH3)) for which it is serious
nonattainment and the 2015 8-hour Ozone (precursors NOx and VOC) for which it is moderate nonattainment.
5.2. Comparison to Significant Emissions Rates (SERS) and Air Dispersion
Modeling Thresholds
The Ogden Plant is an existing major source for prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) and
nonattainment new source review (NANSR). The addition of a new baghouse demonstrates emissions
increases to the facility less than Significant Emission Rates (SERs). The proposed project increases
have been compared to both the pollutants in attainment and nonattainment as demonstrated in Table 5-
1 and Table 5-2, respectively.1

UDAQ's modeling thresholds are generally consistent with the SERS established. Since the
SERS have not been exceeded, criteria pollutant modeling is not required under UAC R307-410-4.
Appendix Table B-1 compares criteria pollutant total proposed emissions to applicable modeling
thresholds contained in R307- 403-4 through 7, and R307-410-4.
5.3. Comparison to HAP Major Source Thresholds
As defined in the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) the major source threshold
for HAP is 10 tpy for an individual HAP and 25 tpy for any combination of HAP.2 As currently
permitted, the Ogden Plant's total HAPS that are greater than 25 tpy. Thus, the Ogden Plant is

6. BEST AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY ANALYSIS
In the State of Utah, under R307-401-5(2)(d), Notice of Intent, every facility, operation, or
process that proposes any activity that would emit an air contaminant into the air, must consider
BACT for a proposed new source or modification.3 The below BACT analysis only addresses units
which will be modified, installed, or otherwise addressed in this NOI.
Control technologies were identified from a search based on the following references:
California Air Resource Board (CARB) Database;
► Texas Commission for Environmental Quality (TCEQ); and
‣ Search of the RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse (RBLC).
6.1. Fortress Skid Particulate Matter (PM10, and PM2.5) BACT
Fortress Skid PM10 and PM2.5 Step 1 - Identify All Control Technologies
Control technologies identified for PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from hopper are as follows:
Best Management/Operation Practices Baghouse/Fabric Filter
Cyclone
Fortress Skid PM10 and PM2.5 Step 2 - Eliminate Technically Infeasible Options
Best Management/Operation Practices
Management practices during material movement will minimize PM2.5 and PM10 emissions and will be
implemented in this project. Best operating practices, such as regular inspection and maintenance, will be
implemented as well.
Baghouse/Fabric Filter
Fabric filters or baghouses are used for medium and low gas-flow streams with high particulate concentrations.
PM-laden air is routed through ductwork to a fabric filter that traps PM in its fibers and allows cleaned air
to be vented to the atmosphere. The typical fabric filter has a control efficiency between 95% to 99.9%.
Fabric filters are considered technically feasible.
Cyclone
A cyclone separator (cyclone) operates on the principle of centrifugal separation. Exhaust enters the inlet
and spirals around towards the outlet. As particles proceed through the cyclone, heavier materials hit the
outside walls and drop out where they are collected. The cleaned gas escapes through an inner tube. Cyclones are
generally used to reduce dust loading and collect large particles.

A high-efficiency cyclone designed specifically for PM2.5 and PM10 removal is likely to achieve between
20% to 70% removal for PM2.5 and 60% to 95% removal for PM10.5 A cyclone is considered technically
feasible.

7. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
7.1. UDAQ Applicable Rules
Compass Minerals has evaluated the applicability of each rule under the Utah Administrative
Code (UAC) Title R307. Rules generally applicable to Compass Minerals but not affected by this project
have not been addressed. Compass did not identify any UAC rules that would apply specifically to this
project.
7.2. Federal Rules: National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants The
NESHAP federal regulations found in Title 40 Parts 61 and 63 of the CFR are emission standards for
HAPs. The inclusion of Fortress operations generates no HAPS, and thus poses no changes to
Compass Minerals' major source determination under US EPA's NESHAP program. As such, there are
no NESHAP applicable to this project.
7.3. Federal Rules: New Source Performance Standards
NSPS require new, modified, or reconstructed sources to control emissions to the level
achievable by the best demonstrated technology as specified in the applicable provisions. Moreover,
any source subject to an NSPS is also subject to the general provisions of NSPS Subpart A, except as
noted. The following sections detail the applicability of NSPS regulations to the facility's operations.
NSPS Subpart LL-Standards of Performance for Metallic Mineral Processing
Plants NSPS Subpart LL, Standards of Performance for Metallic Mineral Processing Plants, applies to
metallic mineral process plants. The definition of metallic mineral concentrate does not include
magnesium and thus this rule does not apply.6
NSPS Subpart 000-Standards of Performance for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing
Plants
NSPS Subpart 000, Standards of Performance for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing Plants, applies to a list of
minerals and mixtures as listed within the subpart. Magnesium compounds are not included within this list
and therefore this subpart does not apply.
