Dear Mr. Fitzgerald:
RE: New Aggregate Processing Facility – CDS B; NSPS (Part 60), Title V (Part 70) Area Source,
Project Number: N160410001
The Utah Division of Air Quality (DAQ) has approved your request for an 18-month extension to
commence construction of the New Aggregate Processing Facility (Grantsville Pit). DAQ has extended
the period to commence construction of the Grantsville Pit to no later than October 18, 2026.
The Grantsville Pit is permitted under Approval Order (AO) DAQE-AN160410001-22, issued on April
18, 2022, to Las Vegas Paving Corporation (LVP). LVP notified DAQ on July 17, 2023, that the
Grantsville Pit was not going to be operational by the 18-month construction commencement deadline
of October 18, 2023. LVP then requested an extension of an additional 18 months as per AO DAQE-
AN160410001-22 Condition II.8. The deadline of this extension was April 18, 2025. On April 14, 2025,
LVP notified the DAQ that the Grantsville pit was still not operational and requested an additional 18-
month extension. LVP also submitted a BACT analysis of the facility to the DAQ.
The DAQ reviewed this submitted BACT analysis and determined that the requirements in AO DAQE-
AN160410001-22 met current BACT standards and no changes to the AO were necessary. The DAQ
approved the request for extension based on the submitted BACT analysis.
Las Vegas Paving shall submit another update on the status of construction on or before the end of the
18-month extension (i.e., October 18, 2026). The DAQ will evaluate this information to determine
whether reasonable progress is being made. At that time, the DAQ may take one of the following
courses of action based on the information submitted:
1) approve the request for additional time to construct with no further action;
2) require a revised BACT analysis and an updated NOI based on the results of the revised BACT
analysis; or 3) revoke the AO.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Las Vegas Paving Corp. (LVP) is a heavy civil construction company, that provides a comprehensive list of
services from paving to roto-milling, excavating, and recycling. LVP is proposing to operate a permanent
aggregate mining, sizing, washing, and sales and distribution operations at Lhoist North America of Arizona,
Inc. (Lhoist or LNA) Grantsville Plant, in Grantsville, Utah in Tooele County. The proposed LVP operation is
located within an area of Tooele County designated as a non-attainment area of the National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 microns or less
(PM2.5) and 2015 8-hour ozone. In addition, nitrogen oxide (NOX), sulfur dioxide (SO2), volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) and ammonia (NH3) are considered precursors to PM2.5 in Utah.
LVP currently operates temporary crushing and screening activities under a temporary relocation of portable
equipment permit. LVP is submitting a Notice of Intent (NOI) air quality permit application to the Utah
Division of Air Quality (UDAQ) to obtain an air quality Approval Order (AO) to establish a permanent
operation in Grantsville, Utah. The NOI application is for mining, crushing, and screening operations,
washing, and sales to be conducted only by LVP at the Grantsville Operation.
As LVP is proposing to install equipment and operations on LNA’s existing Grantsville Plant Title V facility, an
agreement between the two parties establishes that all LVP operations will cease during any 24-hour period
(i.e., midnight-to-midnight) that LNA would be operating existing equipment in accordance with its current
Title V air operating permit (Permit Number 4500005003).1 This condition was agreed upon based on the
current demand for lime products from LNA’s operations.
Emissions from the LVP installation and operations will consist of particulate matter (PM) with an
aerodynamic diameter of 10 microns or less (PM10) and of filterable PM2.5 fugitives. Fugitive dust controls
will be implemented through the use of water and/or chemical suppressant throughout the processes. The
facility is proposed to be permitted as a minor source and will be subject to 40 CFR 60, New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) Subpart OOO. Additionally, the emissions triggered an impact analysis
included in Appendix C.
Emission calculations were performed for the LVP’s Grantsville installation and operations to determine the
proposed emissions of criteria pollutants (see Appendix B). The proposed emissions constitute the LVP
Grantsville potential to emit (PTE); see Table 4-1. PTE values for criteria pollutants, given in tons per year
(tpy) are proposed as follows: PM10 = 21.67, PM2.5 = 3.57, NOX = 8.50, CO = 33.50, SO2 = 0.06, VOC =
0.00, and HAPs = 0.00. The LVP’s Grantsville Operation is proposed to be permitted as a minor source.
This NOI application has been developed pursuant Utah Administrative Code (UAC) R307-401-5 and Utah’s
application guidance including but not limited to:
► NOI Forms and Fees;
► Process Description;
► Site Plan;
► Potential Emission Calculations;
► Best Available Control Technology (BACT) Analysis;
► Applicable Requirements; and
► Emission Impact Analysis.
1 Lhoist submitted a renewal application on June 25, 2020 within 180 days prior to the expiration of its Title V air operating permit.
Las Vegas Paving | Notice of Intent 2-1
GENERAL INFORMATION
2.1 Description of LVP’s Installation
The LVP Grantsville Operation will be a standalone, aggregate mining, crushing, and screening, and sales
operation located at 8700 North Ellerbeck Rd. Grantsville, Utah 84029. Although co-located with LNA’s
Grantsville Lime Plant, the LVP Grantsville Operation will be separate from the lime plant and mining
activities. The LVP Grantsville Operation’s end product is processed aggregate, whereas LNA’s Lime Plant
operation mines and processes high-quality dolomitic limestone for various quicklime products sold.
For LVP to produce processed aggregate, drilling and blasting operations will be conducted within the
mining area to produce aggregate in a manageable size, which will then be transported to the crushing and
screening operations. The aggregate crushing and screening operations will consist of two (2) operations; a
Crushing and Screening Circuit and a Wash Circuit. This equipment will be separate and standalone from
LNA’s existing crushing and screening equipment. The Crushing and Screening Circuit will size and stockpile
aggregate that is blasted from the mining area. The Wash Circuit will then wash, screen, and stack a portion
of the aggregate processed in the Crushing and Screening Circuit. Aggregate processed by both the
Crushing and Screening Circuit and the Wash Circuit will then be sold and removed from the site using haul
trucks. Some unprocessed aggregate will be sold and loaded into haul trucks directly after being blasted.
In order to prepare an area for mining, stripping of overburden soil and stone is typically required. Some
bulldozing emissions have been accounted for in overburden removal, although this activity is anticipated to
be minimal for the proposed mining operation. Likewise, bulldozing emissions have been addressed for the
reclamation requirements at the site. As addressed in the emission calculations, these emissions are
anticipated to be minimal.
The LVP Grantsville installation and operation are proposed to be permitted as a minor source (see Table 4-
1). The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code for the LVP Grantsville Operation is 1442, Construction
Sand and Gravel. The LVP operation is under a separate SIC code than LNA, which is 3274, Lime.
Accordingly, they are separate operations. LVP operations are currently under way at the site under a
temporary relocation permit, DAQC-1217-20. The AO that LVP is seeking is proposed to be a standalone
permit separate and apart from LNA’s AO and Title V operating permit.2 If this operating scenario
would change in the future, LVP, on behalf of LNA and LVP, will notify the UDAQ 30 days prior to the
change, or submit a revised NOI air permit application.
The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates for the LVP Grantsville Operation are as follows:
► Easting: 366,928.49
► Northing: 4,506,861.12
► Zone: 12T
► 1984 World Geodetic System

3.2 Description of LVP’s Process
LVP Crushing and Screening Circuit
Figure 1 shows a process flow diagram (PFD) of the Crushing and Screening Circuit portion of the crushing
and screening operations. Material is blasted from the mine area, wetted (as necessary), and then
transported to the primary feeder by front-end loaders and/or haul truck loaded by loaders. Aggregate is fed
Las Vegas Paving | Notice of Intent 3-2
into the horizontal shaft impact (HSI) crusher for sizing. Crushed aggregate is then screened through a
triple deck screen, which separates the aggregate by size. Some of the screened aggregate is initially
stockpiled into two (2) stockpiles, one (1) by a conveyor drop and one (1) by a stacker. Some of the
screened aggregate is sent to a vertical shaft impact (VSI) crusher, which further reduces the size of the
aggregate, before it is sent to another triple-deck screen. Screened aggregate is then stockpiled into two (2)
stockpiles.
From the first triple-deck screen, the aggregate that is not stockpiled or sent to the VSI crusher is sent to a
cone crusher for further sizing. The cone crusher feeds a triple-deck screen that separates the crushed
aggregate into different sizes. Some of the screened material is recycled back into the cone crusher, some is
fed into the VSI crusher, and some is stacked into a stockpile with a stacker. This Crushing and Screening
Circuit process 90% of the total, 1,500,000 tpy of mined aggregate. The remaining 10% is sold as
unprocessed aggregate immediately following blasting and wetting. A portion of the processed aggregate
that exits the Crushing and Screening Circuit is then sent to the Wash Circuit, which is shown in Figure 2.

Las Vegas Paving | Notice of Intent 3-3
LVP Wash Circuit
Figure 2 shows the PFD of the Wash Circuit portion of the crushing and screening operations. Processed
material from the Crushing and Screening Circuit is loaded into the bin feeders with front-end loaders,
where it is then washed and saturated with water in the wash screen. Sized material is then immediately
stockpiled via three (3) separate stackers or it is de-watered by a de-water screen and then stockpiled via a
fourth stacker. Some water is removed from the washed aggregate in a sand screw and sent to a clarifier to
allow particulate matter to settle. The clarifier sends water and particulate matter to a tailings pond for
treatment.

EMISSIONS RELATED INFORMATION
This section details the methodology used to calculated controlled and uncontrolled emissions for criteria
pollutants, greenhouse gases, and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) associated with each new unit and its
associated fugitives as regulated by R307-401-5(2)(b). Additionally, a comparison to major source
thresholds is conducted. Detailed emission calculation tables are included in Appendix B.
4.1 LVP Crushing and Screening
PM, PM10, and PM2.5 emissions generated from the crushing and screening of aggregate are estimated by
multiplying the material throughput by the appropriate emission factor (EF). Uncontrolled EFs for screening
and crushing were obtained from AP-42, Section 11.19.2 (Crushed Stone Processing and Pulverized Mineral
Processing), August 2004.The equation used is as follows: Annual Emissions (tpy)=EF �lbton�× Annual Throughput (tpy)× �ton2,000 lb�× Equipment Quantity
Crushing and screening operations are divided into two (2) different circuits, the Crushing and Screening
Circuit and the Wash Circuit. The former crushes and screens all 1,500,000 tpy of mined material; the latter
reprocesses a portion of that quantity. In the Crushing and Screening Circuit, water sprays will be used in
addition to the inherent moisture content of mined material to contain fugitive dust emissions. Aggregate
processed in the Wash Circuit will have any potential fugitive dust emissions essentially eliminated by its
saturation in water as part of the washing process. It is thus assumed that PM emissions from the Wash
Circuit will be negligible. This will be discussed further in Section 5.
4.2 LVP Material Loading, Unloading and Transfer
For conveyor transfer points, EFs from AP-42, Section 11.19.2 were used. For Crushing and Screening,
dropped material transfer, including stacker drops resulting from the Crushing and Screening Circuit,
material loading in both circuits, and material unloading in the Crushing and Screening Circuit, the
uncontrolled PM10 and PM2.5 EFs were obtained from the “drop equation” in AP-42, Section 13.2.4
(November 2006). Fugitive dust emissions resulting from Wash Circuit material transfer and unloading are
assumed to be negligible due to the washing process and the saturation of the aggregate in water. The
equation for all emitting drops is:
E =k(0.0032)× �U5�1.3
�M2�1.4
where:
E = emission factors (lb/ton)
k = particle size multiplier (dimensionless)
U = mean wind speed (mph)
M = material moisture content (%)
Parameter “U” is determined from historical data retrieved from the Salt Lake City Airport in Salt Lake City,
UT over the past five (5) years (January 2015 – January 2020). The material moisture content used in this
equation for the Crushing and Screening Circuit is based on values previously recommended by UDAQ.
Las Vegas Paving | Notice of Intent 4-2
Material throughput for transfer will incorporate the maximum site-wide throughput of 1,500,000 tpy and
the appropriate equipment throughput ratio for each process. The annual PM emissions rate for the
Crushing and Screening Circuit, given in tpy, is given by the equation below. The EF corresponds to the
annual emissions of the criteria pollutant in question at the time of use of the equation; namely, PM10 or
PM2.5. Annual Crushing and Screening PTE (tpy)=Potential Annual Throughput (tpy)× EF�lbton�× Number of Units or Drop Points×Conversion�1 ton2,000 lb�
It is assumed that the Wash Circuit will not have PM emissions resulting from material transfer due to the
washing process and the saturation of its aggregate in water.
4.3 LVP Stockpiles
A maximum, total stockpile area was determined based on a conservative engineering estimate of the
facility. It is assumed that the total stockpile area will not exceed the reported size on any given day. The
maximum pile area is multiplied by an EF, along with several conversion factors, to determine the potential
emissions associated with each stockpile. EFs are chosen based on what size the particle is (PM2.5 or PM10),
and whether the stockpile is controlled or uncontrolled. All stockpiles will be controlled with water
application; stockpiles from the Crushing and Screening Circuit will have water applied via a water spray,
whereas stockpiles from the Wash Circuit will be saturated with water from the washing process.
Uncontrolled EFs were obtained from AP-42 Fourth Edition Table 8.19.1-1 and AP-42 Appendix B.2 Table
B.2-2.3,4 Annual Stockpile Emissions (tpy)=Max.Pile Area (acre)× EF �lbday⋅acre�× Conversion�365 day × 1 ton1 year × 2,000 lb�
4.4 LVP Bulldozer Use
PM10, and PM2.5 emissions generated from bulldozing were calculated assuming one (1) bulldozer operating
1,000 hours per year. Bulldozer emissions are multiplied by the EFs given in AP-42, Section 11.9 (October
1998). AP-42 Table 11.9-1 provides the following equations for calculating EFs for total suspended solids
(TSP) and PM15 from bulldozing operation: TSP =5.7(s)1.2(M)1.3
PM15 =1.0(s)1.5(M)1.4
where:
TSP and PM15 = emission factors (lb/hr)
s = material silt content (%),
M = material moisture content (%),
3 AP-42 Fourth Edition, Table 8.19.1-1. https://www3.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ap42/oldeditions/4th_edition/ap42_4thed_orig.pdf 4 AP-42 Appendix B.2, Table B.2-2. https://www3.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ap42/appendix/appb-2.pdf
Las Vegas Paving | Notice of Intent 4-3
The material silt content was provided by LVP while the material moisture content was suggested by UDAQ.
Note that the silt content for bulldozing is lower than those values given for bulldozing of overburden in AP-
42 Section 11.9. This is due to the highly exposed nature of the consolidated calcium carbonate and minimal
overburden covering where LVP’s bulldozing operations occur. As AP-42 Section 11.9 only accounts for
Western Surface Coal Mining, and as the given silt value is particular to LVP’s location, this value is deemed
appropriate for LVP’s bulldozing operations. AP-42 Section 11, Table 11.9-1, provides scaling factors that are
applied to TSP and/or PM15 EFs to obtain PM10, and PM2.5 EFs. PM10 and PM2.5 EFs were calculated as
follows:
► PM10 = 0.75 x PM15; and
► PM2.5 = 0.105 x TSP.
The annual PM emissions generated by bulldozer use are estimated by utilizing the EFs stated above. The
EF is multiplied by the maximum annual operating hours, the application of the control efficiency, the
number of bulldozers, and the conversion factor of pounds to tons. Annual Dozing Emissions (tpy)=EF �lbhr�× Max.Operating Hours�hryr�× [1 −Control Efficiency (%)]× Number of Dozers×Conversion�1 ton2,000 lb�
4.5 LVP Roads
The haul roads at the LVP Grantsville Operation consist solely of unpaved roads. PM10 and PM2.5 emissions
were derived using the guidance found in UDAQ’s March 10, 2008 memorandum regarding EFs for unpaved
haul roads5. Emissions from these roads were calculated using the following equation: PM =k × �s12�a × �W3�b × D × 1 ton2,000 lb × (1 − η)
Where:
PM = PM/PM10/PM2.5 emissions (tpy)
k = PM/PM10/PM2.5 k-Factor (lb/VMT)
s = Average silt content (%)
W = Mean vehicle weight (tons)
D = Distance traveled (VMT/yr)
a = Constant for equation (varies for PM/PM10/PM2.5) (unit less)
b = Constant for equation (varies for PM/PM10/PM2.5) (unit less)
η = Control efficiency (%)
Parameter (W) is determined for each vehicle type by taking the average of the mean loaded and unloaded
weights of the different types of vehicles; in this case, tractor trailers, medium front-end loaders, and large
front-end loaders.6,7 Parameter (D) is determined by using the product throughput divided by the difference

the round-trip distance traveled by the customer trucks. The average silt content used in this equation was
given by LVP based on engineering estimates.
As a means of control, a watering truck regularly applies water to suppress fugitive PM emissions at the LVP
Grantsville Operation for loader travel. In addition, chemical suppressant is applied as necessary to the main
haul route. Therefore, using guidance from the memorandum issued by UDAQ regarding emission factors
for paved and unpaved haul roads, a control factor of 70% for basic watering and a control factor of 85%
chemical suppressant application and watering were used for fugitive emissions related to vehicle traffic.
Loader tram lengths are conservatively estimated to be 100 feet per haul, as the majority of loader
operations serve to load equipment or vehicles in distinct areas. Emissions were projected based on the Pit’s
road layouts, vehicle weights, and hauling capacity.
4.6 LVP Blasting
For LVP to produce processed aggregate, drilling and blasting operations will be conducted within the mining area to produce aggregate in a manageable size, which will then be transported via a single
conveyor to the crushing and screening operations. The following assumptions were made for blasting
operations:
► At most, a blasting event will occur once per day;
► The maximum blasting area per blast is 25,000 square feet (ft2) and was provided per design basis;
► Blasting will occur no nearer than 300 feet from the property boundary; and,
► During a blasting day, hours of operation for the Pit will be reduced from 16 to 14 hours per day, from
4:00AM-8:00PM.
The blasting SO2 emission factor is obtained from AP-42 Section 13.3-1. The SO2 EF was developed using a
mass balance that assumes a 6% fuel oil mixture with 500 ppm sulfur content, consistent with EPA non-
road standards.
EFSO2 �lbton�=Sulfur Content (ppm)× %Fuel Oil Mixture × Conversion
Both the NOX and CO EF is that of the ANFO blasting agent factor from AP-42 Section 13.3; and
PM10 and PM2.5 EFs were based on the blasting PM EF given in AP-42 11.9, where a maximum blasting
depth of 70 feet is used, by the following equation:
EFPM �lbblast�=1.4 × 10−5 × A(ft2)1.5
Where EFPM is the EF of PM in pounds per blast, and A is the average daily blast area in square feet.
Scaling factors were applied to the TSP EF to calculate PM10 and PM2.5 EFs, respectively, per AP-42 Table
11.9, as seen below. It is conservatively assumed that the PM EF is equal to the TSP EF.
EFPM10 �lbblast�=EFPM �lbblast�× 0.52
EFPM2.5 �lbblast�=EFPM �lbblast�× 0.03
Where EFPM10 is the EF of PM10 given in pounds per blast and EFPM2.5 is the EF of PM2.5 given in pounds per
blast. Note that, as there is only one (1) blast per day, pounds per blast is equivalent to pounds per day.
Las Vegas Paving | Notice of Intent 4-5
Daily fugitive dust (PM, PM10, and PM2.5) blasting emissions were calculated using blasting material
quantities, which were provided per design basis. Blasting emissions are calculated as follows: Daily Fugitive Dust Emissions �lbsday�=EF �lbsblast�× (1 −%control)× �1 blastday�
Where the EF is that of PM, PM10, or PM2.5, whichever is calculated.
Annual fugitive dust (PM, PM10, and PM2.5) blasting emissions are given as follows:
Annual Emissions (tpy)=Daily Fugitive Dust Emissions �lbsday�× Annual # of Blasts × Conversion �tons ⋅daylb⋅year �
Where the Daily Fugitive Dust Emissions are those of PM, PM10, or PM2.5, whichever is calculated.
Daily emissions for SO2, NOX, and CO are calculated for each pollutant as follows: Daily Emissions �lbsday�=EF�lbston�× Annual ANFO Use (tpy)× Conversion �yeardays�
Annual emissions for SO2, NOX, and CO are calculated for each pollutant as follows: Annual Emissions (tpy)=EF �lbston�× Annual ANFO Use (tpy)× Conversion �tonslb�
4.7 LVP Drilling
Drilling operations precede blasting operations, allowing for the placement of explosives beneath the surface of the mine. For drilling emissions, the following assumptions are applied:
The drilling PM EF is retrieved from AP-42 Section 11.9, utilizing the conservative drilling PM EF given for
overburden material. As no EFs are provided for PM10 and PM2.5 drilling operations, EFs were calculated
using the PM10 and PM2.5 to TSP ratios for blasting overburden per AP-42 Section 11.9, where the factor for
PM10 is 0.52 and the factor for PM2.5 is 0.03, as shown below;
EFPM10 =EFPM15 × 0.52
And EFPM2.5 =EFTSP × 0.03
For the purposes of determining the PM10 and PM2.5 EFs, the EF for PM, PM15, and TSP are considered
equivalent.
Fugitive dust emissions from drilling operations will be controlled through the use of wet drilling in
conjunction with a dust collection (i.e., bin vent or baghouse) system. The EPA reports that baghouses can
achieve a 95-99.9% control efficiency, while the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) reports that wet drilling achieves a control of fugitive emissions between 86-97.8,9 As both control
methods will be used in conjunction one with the other, it is conservatively assumed that the highest control

Las Vegas Paving | Notice of Intent 4-6
efficiency of wet drilling and the average control efficiency of baghouses is achieved for drilling operations
(97%).
The daily emissions of PM, PM10, and PM2.5 were calculated as follows:
Daily Emissions �lbday�=EF �lbhole�× Daily # of Holes �holesday�× (1 −%control)
Where both the daily emissions and the EF are those of the pollutant in question (i.e., PM, PM10, or PM2.5).
The annual emissions of PM, PM10, and PM2.5 were calculated as follows:
Annual Emissions (tpy)=EF�lbhole�× Annual Holes Drilled �holesyear�× (1 −%control)× Conversion �tonlb�
Where both the annual emissions and the EF are those of the pollutant in question (i.e., PM, PM10, or PM2.5).
4.8 LVP Source Size Determination
The results of criteria pollutant emission calculations done for the LVP Grantsville Operation are compared
against major source thresholds in Table 4-1, below. The emissions presented are only for the LVP
installation and operation and do not include emissions from LNA’s Grantsville Plant as they are standalone
operations under a separate permit. The LVP Grantsville Operation is located in an area of nonattainment
for PM2.5 and ozone, but in attainment area for all other pollutants. As previously mentioned, NOX, SO2,
VOCs, and ammonia are all precursors of PM2.5. As presented in the table below, none of the proposed
emissions at the LVP Grantsville Operation are greater than major source thresholds (i.e., 100 tpy for any
criteria pollutant with exception to direct PM2.5 and its precursors for which the major source threshold is 70
tpy, 10 tpy for any HAP, 25 tpy for all HAPs combined, and 100,000 tpy for CO2e). Therefore, the LVP
Grantsville Operation will be classified as a minor source.

BEST AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY (BACT) 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, must consider BACT for the proposed activity. The
BACT analysis below was performed pursuant to this rule. It only addresses units which will be modified,
installed, or otherwise altered according to this NOI.
5.1 LVP Crushing and Screening Aggregate Operations
PM10 and PM2.5 Emissions
The LVP Grantsville Operation have two (2) crushing and screening operations for aggregate mined on site;
a Crushing and Screening Circuit and a Wash Circuit. The equipment associated with these operations
include the following classifications:
► Crushing
► Screening
► Conveyor transfer points
► Stackers
► Stockpiles
This BACT analysis has been completed for all material handling operations within the Crushing and
Screening Circuit, but only for material loading operations within the Wash Circuit. It is assumed that PM2.5
and PM10 emissions resulting from material transfer within and material unloading from the Wash Circuit are
negligible. This is due to the washing process and saturation of aggregate that is processed in the Wash
Circuit.
Material Handling PM10 and PM2.5 Step 1 – Identify All Control Technologies
Control technologies identified for PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from material handling operations are as
follows, based on January 6, 2020 review of relevant entries in EPA’s RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse
(RBLC):
► Baghouse/Fabric Filter
► Cyclone
► Electrostatic Precipitator
► Enclosures
► Management/Operation Practices
► Watering and Material Moisture Content
► Wet Scrubber
Material Handling PM10 and PM2.5 Step 2 – Eliminate Technically Infeasible Options
Baghouse/Fabric Filter
Fabric filters (baghouses) are used for medium and low gas-flow streams with high particulate
concentrations. The typical baghouse has a control efficiency between 95% to 99.9%10. This is generally
accomplished through the installation of ductwork, capture hoods, fans, motors, starters, stacks, and other
10 From EPA Air Pollution Control Technology Fact Sheet for baghouses: https://www3.epa.gov/ttnchie1/mkb/documents/ff-pulse.pdf (EPA-452/F-03-025).
Las Vegas Paving | Notice of Intent 5-2
stationary equipment. Material at the LVP Grantsville Operation travels through a series of mobile conveyors
that extend hundreds of feet. The process requires flexibility to alter on-site stockpile configurations and the
location of crushing and screening operations. In other words, the crushing and screening equipment must
remain mobile. This configuration is incompatible with stationary baghouse equipment, and thus renders the
use of a baghouse technically infeasible.
Cyclone
A cyclone separator (cyclone) operates on the principle of centrifugal separation. 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, respectively.11 Like a baghouse, cyclone feasibility is based on routing emissions to a stationary control system via ductwork, capture hoods, fans, etc. This caveat results in a
cyclone being technically infeasible for the LVP Grantsville Operation, as the crushing and screening
equipment used for production are mobile.
Electrostatic Precipitator
A dry electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is a particle control device that uses electrical forces to move coarse
particles at high concentrations out of a gas stream and onto collector plates, and then into a hopper. This
removal efficiency is typically between 90-99.9%12. ESPs are sensitive to variations in gas streams and do
not work well with streams that are highly variable, such as those present in crushing and screening.13
Therefore, implementation of this control technology is considered technically infeasible for all crushing and
screening sources.
Enclosures
Enclosures confine emissions to the enclosed area, prohibiting PM from reaching ambient air. Although
effective, industrial enclosures are permanent structures. As discussed, the LVP Grantsville Operation operate with mobile equipment, which requires flexibility of stockpile configurations. Therefore, enclosures
are technically infeasible as control technology.
Management/Operation Practices
Management practices during material movement, such as minimizing drop heights, 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.
Watering and Material Moisture Content
Watering changes the physical properties of the surface material by binding soil particles together such that
fugitive emissions are minimized or not generated. Moreover, carryover of material moisture content from
water sprays mitigates particulate emissions beyond the initial point of watering. Inherent moisture found in
mined aggregate achieves the same effect as wetting by watering controls. Wet suppression is shown to
achieve between 50-90% control of emissions14. This control measure is considered technically feasible for
material handling.

Las Vegas Paving | Notice of Intent 5-3
Wet Scrubber
Wet gas scrubbers can achieve 50-95% control of PM emissions15. However, they face the same difficulties
in mobile mining facilities as baghouses and cyclones, namely, they rely on stationary ductwork and other
equipment to route emissions to the scrubber itself. Due to the nature of mining, conveyors leading to
crushing, screening, and drop points will be moved throughout the life of the mine. The incompatibility
between the mobile crushing and screening equipment and stationary wet scrubber equipment renders the
use of a wet scrubber technically infeasible.

These operations are subject to NSPS, Subpart OOO, Standards of Performance for Nonmetallic Mineral
Processing Plant(s) (NMPP). These NSPS standards were updated by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) in 200816. Section 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires that NSPS reflect the application of the best
system of emission reductions, taking into consideration the cost of achieving such reductions, non-air
quality health impact, environmental impact, and energy requirements. In this amendment, EPA made
revisions to the emission limits for NMPP-affected facilities which commence construction, modification, or
reconstruction after publishing the revised rules. EPA’s review of permits and other available information
when revising these standards of performance did not reveal any new or emerging pollution-prevention
measures or PM control technologies as best demonstrated technologies (BDT). EPA found that the NSPS,
Subpart OOO fugitive emission limits are most commonly met through use of wet suppression (as needed)
and water carryover. Wet dust suppression remains the method of choice for the vast majority of crushing
and screening facilities.
Material Handling PM10 and PM2.5 Step 4 – Evaluate Most Effective Controls and Document
Results
The BDT control systems identified in EPA’s NSPS evaluations achieve a reduction in PM10 and PM2.5, along
with reduction in larger PM particles required to meet NSPS, Subpart OOO emission standards. Additionally,
as the LVP Grantsville Operation is located in a PM2.5 Nonattainment Area, it is subject to R307-312
Aggregate Processing Operations. Furthermore, because the selected technologies provide the highest
control efficiencies feasible, a cost analysis is not necessary. Therefore, the selected controls are the most
effective for the proposed crushing and screening plant.

and screening facilities, this will be done by water application and material moisture content controls. This
includes, but is not limited to:
► Application of water to stockpiles via water spray from stackers and/or the water truck;
► Application of water sprays to crushing operations; and
► Moisture content carryover during transportation on conveyors.
Furthermore, management and best operational practices will be applied. These include, but are not limited
to:
► Minimizing drop distance for material transfers; and
► Periodic inspections of material handling.
5.2 LVP Road Emissions
Fugitive PM10 and PM2.5 Emissions
There is one (1) unpaved, primary entrance road for offsite shipments which travels from the exterior of the
property to the scale and loading areas. Two (2) unpaved tram routes for front-end loader movement are
also accounted for. Fugitive emissions are generated from road use by customer trucks, support vehicles,
and heavy equipment used in mining operations. Fugitive dust from production activities such as loading,
unloading, storage of bulk materials, and material transporting may cause PM to be deposited on plant
roads. Vehicular traffic in these areas may then disturb dust deposited on plant roads, resulting in more PM
emissions.
Roads PM10 and PM2.5 Step 1 - Identify All Control Technologies
Control technologies identified for PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from roads are as follows, based on May 6,
2020 review of relevant entries in EPA’s RBLC:
► Chemical Treatment (Applicable to Unpaved Roads Only)
► Reduced Speed (Applicable to Unpaved Roads Only)
► Road Paving (Applicable to Unpaved Roads Only)
► Silt Content Reduction (Applicable to Unpaved Roads Only)
► Street Sweeping (Applicable to Paved Roads Only)
► Watering and Material Moisture Content
Roads PM10 and PM2.5 Step 2 – Eliminate Technically Infeasible Options
Chemical Treatment
Applying chemical treatment to unpaved roads binds surface particles together and inhibits fugitive
emissions by up to 85%17. This is feasible for haul roads, but not for paths on which bulldozers and/or
front-end loaders operate. Chemical treatment applied in such areas may contaminate mined aggregate and
cause technical problems during the crushing and screening process. Furthermore, product stockpiles may
17 UDAQ Guidelines: Emission Factors for Paved and Unpaved Haul Roads, January 2015
Las Vegas Paving | Notice of Intent 5-5
become contaminated and the effects of chemical treatment are reduced due to the frequent turning of
front-end loaders while loading customer haul trucks.
Reduced Speed
Reducing the speed on plant roads reduces the generation of fugitive dust. The Western Regional Air
Partnership (WRAP) Fugitive Dust Handbook reports that a 57% reduction in emissions occurs when speeds
are restricted to less than fifteen miles per hour (15 mph), and a 44% reduction in emissions when speeds
are restricted to 25 mph18. This control method is considered technically feasible.
Road Paving
Paving provides effective controls on fugitive road emissions. Guidelines from UDAQ indicate that paved
roadways, combined with sweeping and watering, provide a 90% control efficiency for particulate
emissions19. Paving roads is not technically feasible near dynamic mining operations at the LVP Grantsville
Operation, as route configurations are subject to change according to mine development. Furthermore,
emissions from paved roads in disrepair due to impact from heavy equipment are higher than properly
treated unpaved roads. Similarly, the benefits from applying chemical dust suppressants are negated in
areas where trucks turn and tracked equipment is used because those activities cause chemical dust
suppressants to deteriorate more quickly than is useful.
The main haul road, which is used for product export, will remain unpaved throughout the life of the mine.
This is due to the frequent travel of high volume, heavy-weight equipment on the road. Travel of this sort
rapidly deteriorates paved road surfaces, which is an accepted, significant concern for paved roads. If the
main haul road were paved, the frequent re-paving and road construction that would be necessary due to
its regular deterioration would hinder haul truck travel and subsequently obstruct the selling of processed
aggregate. The application of chemical suppressant and regular watering that will be done on the main haul
road will achieve nearly the same control as if the roads were paved.20 As such, paving of the main haul
road is considered technically infeasible.
Silt Content Reduction
Silt content reduction involves covering unpaved road surfaces with material that has a lower silt content
than what is naturally present, e.g., gravel or slag. Combined with watering, this method achieves up to
75% control efficiency21. This is considered technically feasible and will be applied where appropriate.
Street Sweeping
Street sweeping is a method of PM control that utilizes a mobile street sweeping unit to remove loose
material from paved road surfaces. This control technology is technically infeasible due to the stated inability
to adequately maintain paved roads at the LVP Grantsville Operation.
Watering and Material Moisture Content
Watering of haul roads reduces fugitive PM2.5 and PM10 emissions by binding soil particles together,
preventing their being picked up by wind or vehicles. Water is applied on a scheduled basis and
supplemented as needed based on driver observation of dust conditions. Basic watering results in a dust

For the technologies applied to unpaved roads, any grouping of silt-content reduction, watering, and speed

include:
► Silt Content Reduction: Varies with current, uncontrolled road conditions, per AP-42 13.2.2.
Roads PM10 and PM2.5 Step 4 – Evaluate Most Effective Controls and Document Results
Since the highest available controls include implementing chemical suppression, road watering, speed
reduction, and silt content reduction on unpaved roads, no detailed economic, energetic, or environmental
impact evaluations were conducted.
Roads PM10 and PM2.5 Step 5 – Select BACT
Fugitive road emissions are generated from road use by customer trucks, employee vehicles, and front-end
loaders. The haul roads at the LVP Grantsville Operation are unpaved. BACT for these permanent haul roads
is considered to consist of chemical application, watering, and silt-content reduction to minimize fugitives as
practical. BACT for non-permanent roads – e.g., roads in proximity to the mining face – is considered to
consist of watering and silt content reduction to minimize fugitive dust. The LVP Grantsville Operation will
implement these controls.
5.3 LVP Drilling and Blasting
NOX and SO2 – Blasting
Blasting operations incorporate combustion of compounds containing ammonium nitrate in order to
pulverize material in the mining area. Blasting operations will produce fugitive NOX and SO2 emissions.
However, there are no control technologies that can be used to mitigate NOX and SO2 emissions associated
with blasting. As such, no BACT analysis has been conducted for these emissions.
PM10 and PM2.5 – Drilling and Blasting
Drilling and blasting methods loosen raw materials in the mining area in order to access the desired
aggregate embedded in the ground. These activities create fugitive dust.

Drilling and Blasting PM10 and PM2.5 Step 1 – Identify All Control Technologies
Control technologies identified for PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from drilling and blasting have been identified
using the following sources:
► Utah Division of Air Quality Fugitive Dust Control Plans (Revised 1/13) BMP 02;
► Dust Control Handbook for Industrial Minerals Mining and Processing, NIOSH, January 2012
► WRAP Fugitive Dust Handbook, Countess Environmental, September 2006
The following methods have been identified as control technologies to reduce fugitive dust emissions from
drilling and blasting:
► Apply a shroud to the drilling equipment;
► Apply best management and operational practices for drilling and blasting;
► Install a dust collection system on drilling equipment; and
► Install a water spray on drilling equipment, i.e., use of wet drilling practices.
Drilling and Blasting PM10 and PM2.5 Step 2 – Eliminate Technically Infeasible Options
Shroud Application to Drilling Equipment
Installing a shroud at the drilling location is one common method for controlling fugitive dust emissions from
drilling operations. Shrouds can vary in shape (rectangular vs. circular) and complexity in order to adapt to
mining operations. When installed and replaced correctly, shrouds can control 88% of fugitive dust
emissions.23 Using a shroud during drilling operations is technically feasible.
Best Management and Operational Practices for Drilling and Blasting
Best management and operational practices for blasting operations includes the following: using sufficient
stem length and refraining from blasting operations during high winds.24 Best management and operational
practices for drilling operations includes conducting routine inspections of drilling control technologies. This
may include repairing and/or replacing shrouds when they become damaged. Best management and
operational practices for controlling both drilling and blasting operations are technically feasible.
Dust Collection System on Drilling Equipment
Dust control is often accomplished using a fan-powered dust-collection system. For drilling operations, these
collection systems are mounted on the drill. If properly maintained, these systems can be up to 99%
efficient.25 For drilling operations, installing a dust collection system is technically feasible.
Water Spray on Drilling Equipment
Fugitive emissions for drilling equipment can be significantly reduced through wet drilling, using a water
spray which provides continuous water flow during drilling operations. With a high volumetric flow rate, dust
control efficiencies often attain 86-97%. However, when water flow rates approach one (1) gallon per
minute (gpm) operational problems such as drill bit plugging, and drill rotation binding often occur. Dust

Drilling and Blasting PM10 and PM2.5 Step 5 – Select BACT
BACT for drilling will be accomplished through adhering to best management practices, and using a dust
collection system or wet drilling practices proposed as BACT for drilling operations.
BACT for blasting will be accomplished by applying best management practices, minimizing the blasting
area, and limiting the size of blasting operations closer than 300 feet from the property boundary, and
avoiding blasting operations during high winds. Additionally, blasting and drilling are events will not occur on
the same day. These practices will mitigate fugitive dust from blasting operations.
5.4 LVP Disturbed Grounds
Fugitive PM10 and PM2.5 emissions are generated through wind disturbance on exposed aggregate. Various
operational practices can be considered for BACT. One option is to spray water on all areas not covered with
vegetation or synthetic material. The large volume of exposed area at the LVP Grantsville Operation would
require extensive amounts of water. Due to the constant movement of aggregate equipment and working
areas, the infrastructure required for the sprays is not technically feasible. Therefore, this option is not
considered BACT. Additionally, the aggregate being mined at the Grantsville pit is hard-rock and not
weathered material. As a result, the amount of fines on the mine surface will be minimal.
Best management practices and maintaining established opacity limitations are considered BACT to control
fugitive dust from disturbed grounds on site.

1. The LVP Grantsville Operation is located in Tooele County, which is in serious nonattainment for PM2.5. Values are per
UAC R307-403-5(2)(b)(ii).
2. Ammonia and HAPs were considered in the LVP Grantsville Operation’s facility-wide emissions; however, these
emissions are not applicable, as site power is provided by line power.
3. Per Emissions Impact Assessment Guidelines published by UDAQ.
4. Values are per UAC R307-403-5(2)(b)(ii)
The air dispersion modeling analysis will be performed to demonstrate that the impacts of the site-wide
PM10 emissions from the LVP Grantsville Operation will not exceed the NAAQS. As a supplement to this
application, LVP will submit a modeling protocol and an air dispersion modeling analysis for PM10 24-hour
NAAQS.
If this operating scenario would change in the future, LVP, on behalf of LNA and LVP, will notify the UDAQ
30 days prior to the change, or submit a revised NOI air permit application.
Because the total emission increases at the LVP Grantsville Operation do not constitute a major source, a
visibility analysis is not required.31

Las Vegas Paving | Notice of Intent 7-1
NONATTAINMENT/MAINTENANCE AREAS - OFFSETTING
Per UDAQ’s Form 1 for NOI and R307-420 and R307-421, this section should include offset requirements for
nonattainment and maintenance areas. The LVP Grantsville Operation is located within a PM2.5
nonattainment area.
7.1 LVP Offset Applicability
PM2.5 Offsets
PM2.5 offsets are applicable to major sources located within or impacting a PM2.5 nonattainment area of the
NAAQS. A major source in a serious nonattainment area is defined in R307-403-5(2)(b) as “any stationary
source of air pollutants which emits or has the [PTE] 70 [TPY] or more of direct PM2.5 or any individual PM2.5
precursor as defined in R307-403-1(4)(c) [i.e., SO2, NOX, VOCs, and ammonia].” The LVP Grantsville
Operation is not a major source, and it is therefore not subject to the offset requirements of R307-403.
PM10 Offsets
PM10 offsets requirements are described in UAC R307-421-2. They apply to new or modified sources of SO2
or NOX that are located in or impact Salt Lake County or Utah County. The LVP Grantsville Operation is
located in Tooele County, and does not impact either Salt Lake County or Utah County. The LVP Grantsville
Operation is therefore not subject to the PM10 offset requirements of R307-421.
Ozone Offsets
Ozone offsets requirements recorded in UAC R307-420-3(2) and VOC offsets are applicable to significant
sources located within or impacting an ozone nonattainment area of the NAAQS. In summary, significant
sources located in Davis County or Salt Lake County shall offset the proposed increase in VOC emissions by
a ratio of 1.2:1 before the Director may issue an AO to construct, modify, or relocate under R307-401. As
the LVP Grantsville Operation is located in Tooele County, ozone offsets are not applicable.
Furthermore, "significant" means, for the purposes of determining what is a significant emission increase or a
significant net emission increase and therefore a major modification, a rate of emissions that would equal or
exceed any of the following rates:
(1) for volatile organic compounds, 25 tons per year,
(2) for nitrogen oxides, 40 tons per year.
The PTE of the LVP Grantsville Operation presented in Appendix B is less than 25 tpy of VOCs, solidifying
the inapplicability of ozone offsets established in R307-420-3.

The LVP Grantsville Operation is located in Tooele County, which is a nonattainment area for PM2.5.
Fugitive emissions from sources shall not exceed 20% opacity.
UAC R307-205-5 Emission Standards - Fugitive Dust
Owning, operating, or maintaining a new or existing material storage, handling, or hauling operation
shall take measures to minimize fugitive dust from such activities. Such control may include enclosures,
covers, stabilization or other equivalent methods or techniques as approved by the director.
The LVP Grantsville Operation will comply with minimization techniques as described in R307-205-5.
Steps will be taken to minimize fugitive dusts.
UAC R307-205-7 Emission Standards – Roads
The LVP Grantsville Operation will supply traffic count information as determined necessary and clean
any deposited materials that may create fugitive dust.
UAC R307-205-7 Emission Standards – Mining Activities
Minimizing fugitive dust shall be an integral part of site preparation mining activities and reclamation
operations. Fugitive dust control measures include: periodic watering of unpaved roads and application
of chemical suppressant to unpaved roads, and prompt removal of coal, rock minerals, soil, and other
dust-forming debris from roads. Additional controls include: frequent scraping and compaction of
unpaved roads to stabilize the road surface, restricting the speed of vehicles in and around the mining
operation and restricting the travel of vehicles on other than established roads. Enclosing, covering,
watering, or otherwise treating loaded haul trucks to minimize loss of material to wind and spillage is a
viable means to control fugitive dust from haul trucks. Substitution of conveyor systems for haul trucks
and the covering of conveyor systems are subject to wind erosion. Additionally, minimizing the disturbed

1Drilling operations will be controlled through wet-drilling. NIOSH reports a range from 86% to 97% control efficiency for controlling fugitive emissions via wet-drilling (per Summary of NIOSH research completed on
dust control methods for surface and underground drilling, Pg 2, December 2008). LVP has elected to implement wet-drilling control technologies to reduce fugitive drilling emissions. Because LVP will use a dust
collector in addition to wet drilling, the maximum 97% control efficiency value for wet-drilling is assumed to be applicable.
Scaling factors were applied to PM15 and TSP emission factors to calculate PM10 and PM2.5 emission factors respectively per Table 11.9-1:
As there is not data for the PM15 emission factor equation, PM15 is conservatively assumed to be equal to TSP.
4 Blasting NOX and CO emission factors retrieved from ANFO blasting agent factor from AP-42 13.3-1.
3 Blasting SO2 emission factor developed using a mass balance assuming 6% fuel oil mixture with 500 ppm sulfur content, consistent with EPA non-road standards.
Since no emission factors are provided for PM10 and PM2.5 drilling operations, emission factors were calculated using the PM10 and PM2.5 to TSP ratios for blasting overburden per AP-42 11.9, Table 11.9-1, where:
2Drilling PM emission factor is retrieved from AP-42 11.9, Table 11.9-4, where the drilling PM emission factor is for overburden material for conservatism. The coal PM emission factor is lower and may be appropriate for some drilling
operations.

SOURCE DESCRIPTION General Description
Las Vegas Paving Corp. (LVP) will operate an aggregate crushing and screen plant in Tooele County. The plant will mine, size, wash and distribute aggregate. Drilling and blasting will be performed to access aggregate materials. Bulldozers will operate to move the materials. The
aggregate crushing and screening operations will consist of two (2) operations; a Crushing and Screening Circuit and a Wash Circuit. The site will process up to 1.5 million tons of aggregate per year.

New Aggregate Processing Facility Project Description
LVP has requested a new AO for an aggregate facility co-located with LHoist Chemical (LHoist), which is permitted under DAQE-AN0707015-06 dated August 14, 2006. The proposed aggregate facility will operate independently from LHoist. Upon evaluation, there are no shared
products or co-mining between the two companies. LVP will mine from areas in which materials are unsuitable for LHoist's operations. LVP will also not operate at any period in which LHoist is operating. Therefore, LVP is a true minor source. The facility will operate as an aggregate mining
operation. Materials on-site will be crushed, screened, and conveyed to storage piles. Condition II.B.1.g is unique to the operation. It will ensure that LVP does not operate at any time when LHoist is operating. This is to ensure compliance with the NAAQS.
EMISSION IMPACT ANALYSIS Modeling was completed for PM10 emissions. All other pollutants were below the thresholds of R307-401-4
and R307-401-5. The results of the PM10 model are as follows: Pollutant Period

Review of BACT for New/Modified Emission Units 1. BACT review regarding Site-Wide Emission sources
Crushing, Screening, and Material Handling Operations Crushing, screening, and material handling generate PM10 and PM2.5 emissions. Add-on controls for crushing and screening operations include: electrostatic precipitators (ESPs), enclosures,
baghouses, and cyclones. Due to the mobile nature of crushers and screens, add-on controls are not technically feasible for this operation. Water sprays can be used to maintain material moisture and reduce emissions. Water sprays will be used on site. BACT for material handling is the use of
water sprays to maintain visible emissions at or below 12% opacity for crushing and 7% for all conveyors, transfer points, and screens. Haul Roads Haul road and loader routes used on-site will generate PM10 and PM2.5 emissions. Possible controls
include paving and sweeping (90%), chemical treatment and watering (85%), and water application (70%). The main haul roads on-site total 0.60 miles, these routes are the only permanent roads on-site. The cost effectiveness of paving and chemical treatment was evaluated
for this route. The haul roads and routes total 0.971 miles (5127 feet) This is a total of the main haul route entries and east and west loops; the muckpile haul route; and loadout tram. Uncontrolled emissions from this route are estimated at 10.81 tons per year for PM10 and 1.01 tons per year of
PM2.5. Paving the route would reduce emissions of PM10 by 9.07 tons per year. The annualized cost of this reduction is $11,402 per ton of PM10 reduced. This is not a cost-effective control option. LVP did not do a cost evaluation of chemical treatment, but has selected chemical treatment as
BACT for the main haul routes- the main haul routes total 0.62 miles. The remaining haul roads and routes are short term loader and pit roads which are used to access materials throughout the facility. Due to the short-term nature of these roads, paving and chemically treating is not operationally feasible. Therefore, watering (70%) will be applied to all other roads and routes. LVP additionally proposed speed limit constraints for emission limitations. However, haul road emission calculations do not account for truck speed. The 20% opacity on-site and 10% at the property boundary for visible emissions is a sufficient limitation to ensure the PTE is not exceeded.
As visible emissions vary due to on-site conditions, trucks must limit their speed to ensure the visible emissions are not exceeded. A limitation of speed limit was, therefore, not included and is not considered BACT for this facility.
BACT for haul roads and loader routes is chemical treatment and watering of the main haul route,
watering all other routes and maintaining visible emissions at or below 20% opacity on-site and 10% at the property boundary. Drilling and Blasting NOx, SO2, CO, PM10 and PM2.5 are generated from drilling and blasting operations. There are no available add-on controls for blasting operations. BACT for blasting is best management practices including limiting blasts and best engineering practices. Add-on controls for drilling include a
shroud (88%), a shroud with a baghouse/dust collection system (99%), and wet drilling (70%). The
source has selected to use water sprays and a baghouse/dust collection system on drilling operations. This and maintaining visible emissions at or below 20% on-site and 10% at the property boundary is BACT for drilling.

REVIEWER COMMENTS
1. Comment regarding Emission Estimates:
Emissions were based on a 1,500,000 tons per year of aggregate throughput (1,350,000 of crushed
material and 150,000 tons of uncrushed/bankrun material). (Condition II.B.1.a) Crushing and screening emissions were based on emission factors in AP-42 Section 11.19.2 Table 11.19.2-2 for PM10 and PM2.5 emissions. As aggregate is sized by crushers and screens a certain
percentage drops out as the desired size is met. Loading, unloading, and transfer emissions of PM10 and PM2.5 were estimated based on emission factors from AP-42 Section 11.19.2 and AP-42 Section 13.2.4. Stockpiles and disturbed ground emissions for the 12.5 total proposed acres were based on emission factors from AP-42 Section 8.19.1-- Table 8.19.1-1 Particulate size distribution was based on Appendix B.2 Table B.2-2. (Condition II.B.2.e)
Bulldozer emissions of PM10 and PM2.5 emission from bulldozers were estimated at 1,000 hours per
year using emission factors and scaling factors from AP-42 Section 11.9 Table 11.9-1. (Condition II.B.1.f) Road PM10 and PM2.5 emissions were calculated using equation 1a from AP-42 Section 13.2.2. An 85% control efficiency was used for chemically treated routes (0.62 miles) and 70% for watered routes (0.351 miles). Updated haul route lengths and emissions were submitted on May 5, 2021. (Condition II.B.2.c) SO2, NOx, and CO emissions from blasting were calculated using emission factors from AP-42 Section 13.3. PM10 and PM2.5 emissions were estimated using emission factors from AP-42 Section 11.9. Emissions were based on 375,000 square feet blasted per year and 25,000 square foot area
blasted per day. (Condition II.B.3.b) PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from drilling were based on emission factors from AP-42 Section 11.9. A control factor of 97% was used for a combined control efficiency of baghouses and wet drilling. (Condition II.B.3.a)

(LVP’s) proposed installation and operations at Lhoist North America’s (LNA’s) Grantsville Plant in
Grantsville, Utah, Tooele County. After review of the submitted NOI air permit application, you had some
remaining questions as addressed in your April 2, 2020 email, and subsequent follow-up call on April 8,
2021. This memo addresses those questions, with each question given in italics, below, and the response
given immediately thereafter. The supplemental information provided in this memorandum is requested to
replace the corresponding sections of the December 9, 2020 NOI air permit application. Furthermore,
changes indicated in this submittal have been addressed to update LVP’s NOI air permit application resulting
from the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) PM10 modeling exercise. Revisions to the
information submitted in the original application have been addressed in each section of the following text.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions with respect to the contents of this response.

LVP’s response to the questions asked by the Utah Division of Air Quality (UDAQ) have been addressed
below:
1. For the BACT: The state does not consider aggregate haul trucks to be too heavy for paving. As
these vehicles travel on highways and public roads, a Best Available Control Technology (BACT)
evaluation for haul routes must include a cost evaluation for paving (especially for main haul routes
which do not change).
In LVP’s NOI air permit application submitted on December 9, 2020, the BACT evaluation of roads was
combined considering both highway customer trucks entering the site and mine haul trucks and heavy
equipment conducting mining operations. Based on a follow-up conversation with UDAQ, it was requested
that LVP consider the entrance haul route separately in the BACT analysis since on-highway trucks for
customer delivery will be traveling on these roads. Accordingly, LVP has provided additional information in
section “5. BACT” of this memorandum to supplement the NOI air permit application and address
consideration of paving the entrance road for the BACT evaluation. See section “5. BACT” for the revisions
to the BACT analysis. This evaluation is intended to be separate and apart from the mine haul routes on
which trucks, bulldozers, loaders and/or excavators travel. Some of these vehicles could be tracked vehicles.
As the mine haul roads are temporary in location following a progressive mining sequence and this heavy

equipment will quickly degrade paving on these roads, paving the mine haul roads remains technically
infeasible.
2. The calculations use varying, vaguely explained, aggregate throughput rates. Based on my
understanding of the operations, it looks like the actual aggregate throughput operations are closest
to 600,000 tpy (1.35 million is screened but only 0.6 million is crushed). While the summary
indicates a throughput of 1.5 million my current understanding is that the allowable throughput
should be around 600,000 tpy.
As described throughout the application, LVP is proposing to mine 1.5 million tons per year. Of this total,
1.35 million (i.e., 90% of aggregate) will be crushed and screened (i.e., processed). The remaining 10%
will be run-of-mine and loaded into customer trucks without further processing for crushing and
screening. In the emissions calculations developed for the NOI air permit application, the HSI Crusher
was inadvertently listed as processing 40% of the throughput, which gives the appearance of a reduced
throughput. However, as demonstrated in the NOI air permit application and the remainder of the
emissions calculations, the remaining downstream equipment, including the primary screen, operates at
90% (equivalent to 1.35 million tons per year), thus necessitating a 90% throughput through the HSI
Crusher as well.
Although the throughput of the HSI Crusher was given as 40% of the total throughput of the LVP
installation and operation in the emission calculations, it will operate at 90% and has been updated
accordingly. This is the percentage of material that is mined and fed into the feeder, which then feeds
into the HSI Crusher. This change has been made in the emissions calculations, and updated tables are
given in the pages that follow. Although the potential-to-emit (PTE) will change for particulate matter
with an aerodynamic diameter of less than ten microns (PM10) and less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5) on an
annual basis, the results of the air dispersion modeling done for PM10 at LVP’s Grantsville Operation will
not be affected. This is because the air dispersion modeling is based on the maximum hourly throughput
of each piece of equipment rather than its annual PTE. In this instance, the HSI Crusher’s maximum
hourly throughput of 400 tons per hour (tph) will remain unchanged, thus resulting in no change to the
results of the PM10 air dispersion modeling.
In addition to the changes ensuing from UDAQ’s questions, other changes were made during the
process of demonstrating compliance with the NAAQS through performing air dispersion modeling for
PM10. Specifically, the configuration of the entrance road for customer haul trucks was updated,
resulting in a shortened entrance haul road. Please refer to Figure 2-1 in the Modeling Report submitted
to UDAQ on January 13, 2021 for the current configuration. This shortened haul road decreased the PTE
of LVP’s installation and operations, a change that is represented in the following portions of this memo.
LVP requests that changes - starting with Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, and Appendix B to the December 9, 2020
NOI air permit application - be made in the following sections to this memorandum, as necessitated by
the UDAQ’s inquiry and as a result of the changes made during the air dispersion modeling exercise.
3. The used oil house: I am not sure if this is an issue or even applicable to the air permit. A
compliance inspector, who evaluated Lhoist's site, indicated I should ask about a used oil house.
As we discussed on our call on April 8, 2021, the oil house only contains sealed containers and oil tanks.
The oil house is not being used by LVP, but rather will continue to be used by Lhoist. Therefore, the oil
house does not apply to LVP’s NOI air permit application and has not been addressed further.

NOI Air Permit Application – Supplemental Information
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Please redact the fifth paragraph of Section 1 and replace it with the following:
Emission calculations were performed for the LVP’s Grantsville installation and operations to determine the
proposed emissions of criteria pollutants (see Appendix B). The proposed emissions constitute the LVP
Grantsville potential to emit (PTE); see Table 4-1. PTE values for criteria pollutants, given in tons per year
(tpy) are proposed as follows: PM10 = 11.55, PM2.5 = 1.96, NOX = 8.50, CO = 33.50, SO2 = 0.06, VOC =
0.00, and HAPs = 0.00. The LVP’s Grantsville Operation is proposed to be permitted as a minor source.

Figures 3-5 and 3-6, shown below, show the maximum potential percentage of the total throughput that
could be handled or processed by each labeled stream or piece of equipment. Because the maximum
potential percentage of the throughput has been given, the values do not sum evenly. This was done to
provide a conservative PTE value and to allow for operational flexibility.

5. BEST AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY (BACT) ANALYSIS
Per UDAQ request, a BACT analysis has been done specifically regarding the feasibility of paving the haul
roads at the LVP installation and operation. Please redact the second paragraph under “Road Paving” in
Section 5.2 of Section 5 and replace it with the following.
The main haul road, which is used for product export, is currently unpaved. Paving the main haul road can
result in the mitigation of fugitive dust as a long as some form of dust removal (e.g., street sweeping) is
applied thereafter. Paving of the main haul road is considered technically feasible.
Please redact Table 5-2 from Section 5.2 and replace it with the following table of the same name.
Table 5-2. Fugitive PM10 and PM2.5 Control Technologies and Efficiencies for Roads.
Control Method Control Efficiency (%)
Road Paving, Sweeping, and Watering 90
Chemical Suppressant and Watering 85
Basic Watering and Road Base 75
Basic Watering 70
Reduced Speed 44
Please redact the paragraph under Step 4 in Section 5.2 and replace it with the following paragraph.
Since the highest available controls for unpaved roads include implementing chemical suppression, road
watering, speed reduction, and silt content reduction on unpaved roads, no detailed economic, energetic, or
environmental impact evaluations were conducted on the mining roads. However, since the main haul road
used for product export could be paved as on-road trucks primarily use this road an economics analysis has
been included in Appendix D to supplement the NOI air permit application.
May 5, 2021 Las Vegas Paving – Grantsville – Response to UDAQ Page 6 of 16
Paving of the main haul road is considered technically feasible and achieves the highest control efficiency of
the control methods listed in Table 5-2. However, an economic analysis shows that paving of the haul road
is economically infeasible, as the cost per ton of pollutant removed is $50,154. See the economic analysis
given in Attachment A to this memorandum.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Las Vegas Paving Corp. (LVP) is a heavy civil construction company, that provides a comprehensive list of
services from paving to roto-milling, excavating, and recycling. LVP is proposing to operate a permanent
aggregate mining, sizing, washing, and sales and distribution operations at Lhoist North America of Arizona,
Inc. (Lhoist or LNA) Grantsville Plant, in Grantsville, Utah in Tooele County. The proposed LVP operation is
located within an area of Tooele County designated as a non-attainment area of the National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 microns or less
(PM2.5) and 2015 8-hour ozone. In addition, nitrogen oxide (NOX), sulfur dioxide (SO2), volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) and ammonia (NH3) are considered precursors to PM2.5 in Utah.
LVP currently operates temporary crushing and screening activities under a temporary relocation of portable
equipment permit. LVP is submitting a Notice of Intent (NOI) air quality permit application to the Utah
Division of Air Quality (UDAQ) to obtain an air quality Approval Order (AO) to establish a permanent
operation in Grantsville, Utah. The NOI application is for mining, crushing, and screening operations,
washing, and sales to be conducted only by LVP at the Grantsville Operation.
As LVP is proposing to install equipment and operations on LNA’s existing Grantsville Plant Title V facility, an
agreement between the two parties establishes that all LVP operations will cease during any 24-hour period
(i.e., midnight-to-midnight) that LNA would be operating existing equipment in accordance with its current
Title V air operating permit (Permit Number 4500005003).1 This condition was agreed upon based on the
current demand for lime products from LNA’s operations.
Emissions from the LVP installation and operations will consist of particulate matter (PM) with an
aerodynamic diameter of 10 microns or less (PM10) and of filterable PM2.5 fugitives. Fugitive dust controls
will be implemented through the use of water and/or chemical suppressant throughout the processes. The
facility is proposed to be permitted as a minor source and will be subject to 40 CFR 60, New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) Subpart OOO. Additionally, the emissions triggered an impact analysis
included in Appendix C.
Emission calculations were performed for the LVP’s Grantsville installation and operations to determine the
proposed emissions of criteria pollutants (see Appendix B). The proposed emissions constitute the LVP
Grantsville potential to emit (PTE); see Table 4-1. PTE values for criteria pollutants, given in tons per year
(tpy) are proposed as follows: PM10 = 21.67, PM2.5 = 3.57, NOX = 8.50, CO = 33.50, SO2 = 0.06, VOC =
0.00, and HAPs = 0.00. The LVP’s Grantsville Operation is proposed to be permitted as a minor source.
This NOI application has been developed pursuant Utah Administrative Code (UAC) R307-401-5 and Utah’s
application guidance including but not limited to:
► NOI Forms and Fees;
► Process Description;
► Site Plan;
► Potential Emission Calculations;
► Best Available Control Technology (BACT) Analysis;

Las Vegas Paving | Notice of Intent 2-1
GENERAL INFORMATION
2.1 Description of LVP’s Installation
The LVP Grantsville Operation will be a standalone, aggregate mining, crushing, and screening, and sales
operation located at 8700 North Ellerbeck Rd. Grantsville, Utah 84029. Although co-located with LNA’s
Grantsville Lime Plant, the LVP Grantsville Operation will be separate from the lime plant and mining
activities. The LVP Grantsville Operation’s end product is processed aggregate, whereas LNA’s Lime Plant
operation mines and processes high-quality dolomitic limestone for various quicklime products sold.
For LVP to produce processed aggregate, drilling and blasting operations will be conducted within the
mining area to produce aggregate in a manageable size, which will then be transported to the crushing and
screening operations. The aggregate crushing and screening operations will consist of two (2) operations; a
Crushing and Screening Circuit and a Wash Circuit. This equipment will be separate and standalone from
LNA’s existing crushing and screening equipment. The Crushing and Screening Circuit will size and stockpile
aggregate that is blasted from the mining area. The Wash Circuit will then wash, screen, and stack a portion
of the aggregate processed in the Crushing and Screening Circuit. Aggregate processed by both the
Crushing and Screening Circuit and the Wash Circuit will then be sold and removed from the site using haul
trucks. Some unprocessed aggregate will be sold and loaded into haul trucks directly after being blasted.
In order to prepare an area for mining, stripping of overburden soil and stone is typically required. Some
bulldozing emissions have been accounted for in overburden removal, although this activity is anticipated to
be minimal for the proposed mining operation. Likewise, bulldozing emissions have been addressed for the
reclamation requirements at the site. As addressed in the emission calculations, these emissions are
anticipated to be minimal.
The LVP Grantsville installation and operation are proposed to be permitted as a minor source (see Table 4-
1). The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code for the LVP Grantsville Operation is 1442, Construction
Sand and Gravel. The LVP operation is under a separate SIC code than LNA, which is 3274, Lime.
Accordingly, they are separate operations. LVP operations are currently under way at the site under a
temporary relocation permit, DAQC-1217-20. The AO that LVP is seeking is proposed to be a standalone
permit separate and apart from LNA’s AO and Title V operating permit.2 If this operating scenario
would change in the future, LVP, on behalf of LNA and LVP, will notify the UDAQ 30 days prior to the
change, or submit a revised NOI air permit application.
The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates for the LVP Grantsville Operation are as follows:
► Easting: 366,928.49
► Northing: 4,506,861.12
► Zone: 12T

3.2 Description of LVP’s Process
LVP Crushing and Screening Circuit
Figure 1 shows a process flow diagram (PFD) of the Crushing and Screening Circuit portion of the crushing
and screening operations. Material is blasted from the mine area, wetted (as necessary), and then
transported to the primary feeder by front-end loaders and/or haul truck loaded by loaders. Aggregate is fed
Las Vegas Paving | Notice of Intent 3-2
into the horizontal shaft impact (HSI) crusher for sizing. Crushed aggregate is then screened through a
triple deck screen, which separates the aggregate by size. Some of the screened aggregate is initially
stockpiled into two (2) stockpiles, one (1) by a conveyor drop and one (1) by a stacker. Some of the
screened aggregate is sent to a vertical shaft impact (VSI) crusher, which further reduces the size of the
aggregate, before it is sent to another triple-deck screen. Screened aggregate is then stockpiled into two (2)
stockpiles.
From the first triple-deck screen, the aggregate that is not stockpiled or sent to the VSI crusher is sent to a
cone crusher for further sizing. The cone crusher feeds a triple-deck screen that separates the crushed
aggregate into different sizes. Some of the screened material is recycled back into the cone crusher, some is
fed into the VSI crusher, and some is stacked into a stockpile with a stacker. This Crushing and Screening
Circuit process 90% of the total, 1,500,000 tpy of mined aggregate. The remaining 10% is sold as
unprocessed aggregate immediately following blasting and wetting. A portion of the processed aggregate
that exits the Crushing and Screening Circuit is then sent to the Wash Circuit, which is shown in Figure 2.

LVP Wash Circuit
Figure 2 shows the PFD of the Wash Circuit portion of the crushing and screening operations. Processed
material from the Crushing and Screening Circuit is loaded into the bin feeders with front-end loaders,
where it is then washed and saturated with water in the wash screen. Sized material is then immediately
stockpiled via three (3) separate stackers or it is de-watered by a de-water screen and then stockpiled via a
fourth stacker. Some water is removed from the washed aggregate in a sand screw and sent to a clarifier to
allow particulate matter to settle. The clarifier sends water and particulate matter to a tailings pond for
treatment.

EMISSIONS RELATED INFORMATION
This section details the methodology used to calculated controlled and uncontrolled emissions for criteria
pollutants, greenhouse gases, and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) associated with each new unit and its
associated fugitives as regulated by R307-401-5(2)(b). Additionally, a comparison to major source
thresholds is conducted. Detailed emission calculation tables are included in Appendix B.
4.1 LVP Crushing and Screening
PM, PM10, and PM2.5 emissions generated from the crushing and screening of aggregate are estimated by
multiplying the material throughput by the appropriate emission factor (EF). Uncontrolled EFs for screening
and crushing were obtained from AP-42, Section 11.19.2 (Crushed Stone Processing and Pulverized Mineral
Processing), August 2004.The equation used is as follows: Annual Emissions (tpy)=EF �lbton�× Annual Throughput (tpy)× �ton2,000 lb�× Equipment Quantity
Crushing and screening operations are divided into two (2) different circuits, the Crushing and Screening
Circuit and the Wash Circuit. The former crushes and screens all 1,500,000 tpy of mined material; the latter
reprocesses a portion of that quantity. In the Crushing and Screening Circuit, water sprays will be used in
addition to the inherent moisture content of mined material to contain fugitive dust emissions. Aggregate
processed in the Wash Circuit will have any potential fugitive dust emissions essentially eliminated by its
saturation in water as part of the washing process. It is thus assumed that PM emissions from the Wash
Circuit will be negligible. This will be discussed further in Section 5.
4.2 LVP Material Loading, Unloading and Transfer
For conveyor transfer points, EFs from AP-42, Section 11.19.2 were used. For Crushing and Screening,
dropped material transfer, including stacker drops resulting from the Crushing and Screening Circuit,
material loading in both circuits, and material unloading in the Crushing and Screening Circuit, the
uncontrolled PM10 and PM2.5 EFs were obtained from the “drop equation” in AP-42, Section 13.2.4
(November 2006). Fugitive dust emissions resulting from Wash Circuit material transfer and unloading are
assumed to be negligible due to the washing process and the saturation of the aggregate in water. The
equation for all emitting drops is:
E =k(0.0032)× �U5�1.3
�M2�1.4
where:
E = emission factors (lb/ton)
k = particle size multiplier (dimensionless)
U = mean wind speed (mph)
M = material moisture content (%)
Parameter “U” is determined from historical data retrieved from the Salt Lake City Airport in Salt Lake City,
UT over the past five (5) years (January 2015 – January 2020). The material moisture content used in this
equation for the Crushing and Screening Circuit is based on values previously recommended by UDAQ.
Las Vegas Paving | Notice of Intent 4-2
Material throughput for transfer will incorporate the maximum site-wide throughput of 1,500,000 tpy and
the appropriate equipment throughput ratio for each process. The annual PM emissions rate for the
Crushing and Screening Circuit, given in tpy, is given by the equation below. The EF corresponds to the
annual emissions of the criteria pollutant in question at the time of use of the equation; namely, PM10 or
PM2.5. Annual Crushing and Screening PTE (tpy)=Potential Annual Throughput (tpy)× EF�lbton�× Number of Units or Drop Points×Conversion�1 ton2,000 lb�
It is assumed that the Wash Circuit will not have PM emissions resulting from material transfer due to the
washing process and the saturation of its aggregate in water.

A maximum, total stockpile area was determined based on a conservative engineering estimate of the
facility. It is assumed that the total stockpile area will not exceed the reported size on any given day. The
maximum pile area is multiplied by an EF, along with several conversion factors, to determine the potential
emissions associated with each stockpile. EFs are chosen based on what size the particle is (PM2.5 or PM10),
and whether the stockpile is controlled or uncontrolled. All stockpiles will be controlled with water
application; stockpiles from the Crushing and Screening Circuit will have water applied via a water spray,
whereas stockpiles from the Wash Circuit will be saturated with water from the washing process.
Uncontrolled EFs were obtained from AP-42 Fourth Edition Table 8.19.1-1 and AP-42 Appendix B.2 Table

4.4 LVP Bulldozer Use
PM10, and PM2.5 emissions generated from bulldozing were calculated assuming one (1) bulldozer operating
1,000 hours per year. Bulldozer emissions are multiplied by the EFs given in AP-42, Section 11.9 (October
1998). AP-42 Table 11.9-1 provides the following equations for calculating EFs for total suspended solids
(TSP) and PM15 from bulldozing operation: TSP =5.7(s)1.2(M)1.3
PM15 =1.0(s)1.5(M)1.4
where:
TSP and PM15 = emission factors (lb/hr)
s = material silt content (%),
M = material moisture content (%),

Las Vegas Paving | Notice of Intent 4-3
The material silt content was provided by LVP while the material moisture content was suggested by UDAQ.
Note that the silt content for bulldozing is lower than those values given for bulldozing of overburden in AP-
42 Section 11.9. This is due to the highly exposed nature of the consolidated calcium carbonate and minimal
overburden covering where LVP’s bulldozing operations occur. As AP-42 Section 11.9 only accounts for
Western Surface Coal Mining, and as the given silt value is particular to LVP’s location, this value is deemed
appropriate for LVP’s bulldozing operations. AP-42 Section 11, Table 11.9-1, provides scaling factors that are
applied to TSP and/or PM15 EFs to obtain PM10, and PM2.5 EFs. PM10 and PM2.5 EFs were calculated as
follows:
► PM10 = 0.75 x PM15; and
► PM2.5 = 0.105 x TSP.
The annual PM emissions generated by bulldozer use are estimated by utilizing the EFs stated above. The
EF is multiplied by the maximum annual operating hours, the application of the control efficiency, the
number of bulldozers, and the conversion factor of pounds to tons. Annual Dozing Emissions (tpy)=EF �lbhr�× Max.Operating Hours�hryr�× [1 −Control Efficiency (%)]× Number of Dozers×Conversion�1 ton2,000 lb�
4.5 LVP Roads
The haul roads at the LVP Grantsville Operation consist solely of unpaved roads. PM10 and PM2.5 emissions
were derived using the guidance found in UDAQ’s March 10, 2008 memorandum regarding EFs for unpaved
haul roads5. Emissions from these roads were calculated using the following equation: PM =k × �s12�a × �W3�b × D × 1 ton2,000 lb × (1 − η)
Where:
PM = PM/PM10/PM2.5 emissions (tpy)
k = PM/PM10/PM2.5 k-Factor (lb/VMT)
s = Average silt content (%)
W = Mean vehicle weight (tons)
D = Distance traveled (VMT/yr)
a = Constant for equation (varies for PM/PM10/PM2.5) (unit less)
b = Constant for equation (varies for PM/PM10/PM2.5) (unit less)
η = Control efficiency (%)
Parameter (W) is determined for each vehicle type by taking the average of the mean loaded and unloaded
weights of the different types of vehicles; in this case, tractor trailers, medium front-end loaders, and large
front-end loaders.6,7 Parameter (D) is determined by using the product throughput divided by the difference
in full and empty vehicle weight to determine the total number of hauls required. This value is multiplied by

the round-trip distance traveled by the customer trucks. The average silt content used in this equation was
given by LVP based on engineering estimates.
As a means of control, a watering truck regularly applies water to suppress fugitive PM emissions at the LVP
Grantsville Operation for loader travel. In addition, chemical suppressant is applied as necessary to the main
haul route. Therefore, using guidance from the memorandum issued by UDAQ regarding emission factors
for paved and unpaved haul roads, a control factor of 70% for basic watering and a control factor of 85%
chemical suppressant application and watering were used for fugitive emissions related to vehicle traffic.
Loader tram lengths are conservatively estimated to be 100 feet per haul, as the majority of loader
operations serve to load equipment or vehicles in distinct areas. Emissions were projected based on the Pit’s
road layouts, vehicle weights, and hauling capacity.
4.6 LVP Blasting
For LVP to produce processed aggregate, drilling and blasting operations will be conducted within the mining area to produce aggregate in a manageable size, which will then be transported via a single
conveyor to the crushing and screening operations. The following assumptions were made for blasting
operations:
► At most, a blasting event will occur once per day;
► The maximum blasting area per blast is 25,000 square feet (ft2) and was provided per design basis;
► Blasting will occur no nearer than 300 feet from the property boundary; and,
► During a blasting day, hours of operation for the Pit will be reduced from 16 to 14 hours per day, from
4:00AM-8:00PM.
The blasting SO2 emission factor is obtained from AP-42 Section 13.3-1. The SO2 EF was developed using a
mass balance that assumes a 6% fuel oil mixture with 500 ppm sulfur content, consistent with EPA non-
road standards.
EFSO2 �lbton�=Sulfur Content (ppm)× %Fuel Oil Mixture × Conversion
Both the NOX and CO EF is that of the ANFO blasting agent factor from AP-42 Section 13.3; and
PM10 and PM2.5 EFs were based on the blasting PM EF given in AP-42 11.9, where a maximum blasting
depth of 70 feet is used, by the following equation:
EFPM �lbblast�=1.4 × 10−5 × A(ft2)1.5
Where EFPM is the EF of PM in pounds per blast, and A is the average daily blast area in square feet.
Scaling factors were applied to the TSP EF to calculate PM10 and PM2.5 EFs, respectively, per AP-42 Table
11.9, as seen below. It is conservatively assumed that the PM EF is equal to the TSP EF.
EFPM10 �lbblast�=EFPM �lbblast�× 0.52
EFPM2.5 �lbblast�=EFPM �lbblast�× 0.03
Where EFPM10 is the EF of PM10 given in pounds per blast and EFPM2.5 is the EF of PM2.5 given in pounds per
blast. Note that, as there is only one (1) blast per day, pounds per blast is equivalent to pounds per day.
Las Vegas Paving | Notice of Intent 4-5
Daily fugitive dust (PM, PM10, and PM2.5) blasting emissions were calculated using blasting material
quantities, which were provided per design basis. Blasting emissions are calculated as follows: Daily Fugitive Dust Emissions �lbsday�=EF �lbsblast�× (1 −%control)× �1 blastday�
Where the EF is that of PM, PM10, or PM2.5, whichever is calculated.
Annual fugitive dust (PM, PM10, and PM2.5) blasting emissions are given as follows:
Annual Emissions (tpy)=Daily Fugitive Dust Emissions �lbsday�× Annual # of Blasts × Conversion �tons ⋅daylb⋅year �
Where the Daily Fugitive Dust Emissions are those of PM, PM10, or PM2.5, whichever is calculated.
Daily emissions for SO2, NOX, and CO are calculated for each pollutant as follows: Daily Emissions �lbsday�=EF�lbston�× Annual ANFO Use (tpy)× Conversion �yeardays�
Annual emissions for SO2, NOX, and CO are calculated for each pollutant as follows: Annual Emissions (tpy)=EF �lbston�× Annual ANFO Use (tpy)× Conversion �tonslb�
4.7 LVP Drilling
Drilling operations precede blasting operations, allowing for the placement of explosives beneath the surface of the mine. For drilling emissions, the following assumptions are applied:
The drilling PM EF is retrieved from AP-42 Section 11.9, utilizing the conservative drilling PM EF given for
overburden material. As no EFs are provided for PM10 and PM2.5 drilling operations, EFs were calculated
using the PM10 and PM2.5 to TSP ratios for blasting overburden per AP-42 Section 11.9, where the factor for
PM10 is 0.52 and the factor for PM2.5 is 0.03, as shown below;
EFPM10 =EFPM15 × 0.52
And EFPM2.5 =EFTSP × 0.03
For the purposes of determining the PM10 and PM2.5 EFs, the EF for PM, PM15, and TSP are considered
equivalent.
Fugitive dust emissions from drilling operations will be controlled through the use of wet drilling in
conjunction with a dust collection (i.e., bin vent or baghouse) system. The EPA reports that baghouses can
achieve a 95-99.9% control efficiency, while the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) reports that wet drilling achieves a control of fugitive emissions between 86-97.8,9 As both control
methods will be used in conjunction one with the other, it is conservatively assumed that the highest control

Las Vegas Paving | Notice of Intent 4-6
efficiency of wet drilling and the average control efficiency of baghouses is achieved for drilling operations
(97%).
The daily emissions of PM, PM10, and PM2.5 were calculated as follows:
Daily Emissions �lbday�=EF �lbhole�× Daily # of Holes �holesday�× (1 −%control)
Where both the daily emissions and the EF are those of the pollutant in question (i.e., PM, PM10, or PM2.5).
The annual emissions of PM, PM10, and PM2.5 were calculated as follows:
Annual Emissions (tpy)=EF�lbhole�× Annual Holes Drilled �holesyear�× (1 −%control)× Conversion �tonlb�
Where both the annual emissions and the EF are those of the pollutant in question (i.e., PM, PM10, or PM2.5).
4.8 LVP Source Size Determination
The results of criteria pollutant emission calculations done for the LVP Grantsville Operation are compared
against major source thresholds in Table 4-1, below. The emissions presented are only for the LVP
installation and operation and do not include emissions from LNA’s Grantsville Plant as they are standalone
operations under a separate permit. The LVP Grantsville Operation is located in an area of nonattainment
for PM2.5 and ozone, but in attainment area for all other pollutants. As previously mentioned, NOX, SO2,
VOCs, and ammonia are all precursors of PM2.5. As presented in the table below, none of the proposed
emissions at the LVP Grantsville Operation are greater than major source thresholds (i.e., 100 tpy for any
criteria pollutant with exception to direct PM2.5 and its precursors for which the major source threshold is 70
tpy, 10 tpy for any HAP, 25 tpy for all HAPs combined, and 100,000 tpy for CO2e). Therefore, the LVP
Grantsville Operation will be classified as a minor source.

BEST AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY (BACT) 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, must consider BACT for the proposed activity. The
BACT analysis below was performed pursuant to this rule. It only addresses units which will be modified,
installed, or otherwise altered according to this NOI.
5.1 LVP Crushing and Screening Aggregate Operations
PM10 and PM2.5 Emissions
The LVP Grantsville Operation have two (2) crushing and screening operations for aggregate mined on site;
a Crushing and Screening Circuit and a Wash Circuit. The equipment associated with these operations
include the following classifications:
► Crushing
► Screening
► Conveyor transfer points
► Stackers
► Stockpiles
This BACT analysis has been completed for all material handling operations within the Crushing and
Screening Circuit, but only for material loading operations within the Wash Circuit. It is assumed that PM2.5
and PM10 emissions resulting from material transfer within and material unloading from the Wash Circuit are
negligible. This is due to the washing process and saturation of aggregate that is processed in the Wash
Circuit.
Material Handling PM10 and PM2.5 Step 1 – Identify All Control Technologies
Control technologies identified for PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from material handling operations are as
follows, based on January 6, 2020 review of relevant entries in EPA’s RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse
(RBLC):
► Baghouse/Fabric Filter
► Cyclone
► Electrostatic Precipitator
► Enclosures
► Management/Operation Practices
► Watering and Material Moisture Content
► Wet Scrubber
Material Handling PM10 and PM2.5 Step 2 – Eliminate Technically Infeasible Options
Baghouse/Fabric Filter
Fabric filters (baghouses) are used for medium and low gas-flow streams with high particulate
concentrations. The typical baghouse has a control efficiency between 95% to 99.9%10. This is generally
accomplished through the installation of ductwork, capture hoods, fans, motors, starters, stacks, and other
10 From EPA Air Pollution Control Technology Fact Sheet for baghouses: https://www3.epa.gov/ttnchie1/mkb/documents/ff-pulse.pdf (EPA-452/F-03-025).
Las Vegas Paving | Notice of Intent 5-2
stationary equipment. Material at the LVP Grantsville Operation travels through a series of mobile conveyors
that extend hundreds of feet. The process requires flexibility to alter on-site stockpile configurations and the
location of crushing and screening operations. In other words, the crushing and screening equipment must
remain mobile. This configuration is incompatible with stationary baghouse equipment, and thus renders the
use of a baghouse technically infeasible.
Cyclone
A cyclone separator (cyclone) operates on the principle of centrifugal separation. 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, respectively.11 Like a baghouse, cyclone feasibility is based on routing emissions to a stationary control system via ductwork, capture hoods, fans, etc. This caveat results in a
cyclone being technically infeasible for the LVP Grantsville Operation, as the crushing and screening
equipment used for production are mobile.
Electrostatic Precipitator
A dry electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is a particle control device that uses electrical forces to move coarse
particles at high concentrations out of a gas stream and onto collector plates, and then into a hopper. This
removal efficiency is typically between 90-99.9%12. ESPs are sensitive to variations in gas streams and do
not work well with streams that are highly variable, such as those present in crushing and screening.13
Therefore, implementation of this control technology is considered technically infeasible for all crushing and
screening sources.
Enclosures
Enclosures confine emissions to the enclosed area, prohibiting PM from reaching ambient air. Although
effective, industrial enclosures are permanent structures. As discussed, the LVP Grantsville Operation operate with mobile equipment, which requires flexibility of stockpile configurations. Therefore, enclosures
are technically infeasible as control technology.
Management/Operation Practices
Management practices during material movement, such as minimizing drop heights, 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.
Watering and Material Moisture Content
Watering changes the physical properties of the surface material by binding soil particles together such that
fugitive emissions are minimized or not generated. Moreover, carryover of material moisture content from
water sprays mitigates particulate emissions beyond the initial point of watering. Inherent moisture found in
mined aggregate achieves the same effect as wetting by watering controls. Wet suppression is shown to
achieve between 50-90% control of emissions14. This control measure is considered technically feasible for
material handling.

Las Vegas Paving | Notice of Intent 5-3
Wet Scrubber
Wet gas scrubbers can achieve 50-95% control of PM emissions15. However, they face the same difficulties
in mobile mining facilities as baghouses and cyclones, namely, they rely on stationary ductwork and other
equipment to route emissions to the scrubber itself. Due to the nature of mining, conveyors leading to
crushing, screening, and drop points will be moved throughout the life of the mine. The incompatibility
between the mobile crushing and screening equipment and stationary wet scrubber equipment renders the
use of a wet scrubber technically infeasible.

These operations are subject to NSPS, Subpart OOO, Standards of Performance for Nonmetallic Mineral
Processing Plant(s) (NMPP). These NSPS standards were updated by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) in 200816. Section 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires that NSPS reflect the application of the best
system of emission reductions, taking into consideration the cost of achieving such reductions, non-air
quality health impact, environmental impact, and energy requirements. In this amendment, EPA made
revisions to the emission limits for NMPP-affected facilities which commence construction, modification, or
reconstruction after publishing the revised rules. EPA’s review of permits and other available information
when revising these standards of performance did not reveal any new or emerging pollution-prevention
measures or PM control technologies as best demonstrated technologies (BDT). EPA found that the NSPS,
Subpart OOO fugitive emission limits are most commonly met through use of wet suppression (as needed)
and water carryover. Wet dust suppression remains the method of choice for the vast majority of crushing
and screening facilities.
Material Handling PM10 and PM2.5 Step 4 – Evaluate Most Effective Controls and Document
Results
The BDT control systems identified in EPA’s NSPS evaluations achieve a reduction in PM10 and PM2.5, along
with reduction in larger PM particles required to meet NSPS, Subpart OOO emission standards. Additionally,
as the LVP Grantsville Operation is located in a PM2.5 Nonattainment Area, it is subject to R307-312
Aggregate Processing Operations. Furthermore, because the selected technologies provide the highest
control efficiencies feasible, a cost analysis is not necessary. Therefore, the selected controls are the most
effective for the proposed crushing and screening plant.

screens, storage bins, and enclosed trucks; and 12% opacity for crushing operations. Like many crushing
and screening facilities, this will be done by water application and material moisture content controls. This
includes, but is not limited to:
► Application of water to stockpiles via water spray from stackers and/or the water truck;
► Application of water sprays to crushing operations; and
► Moisture content carryover during transportation on conveyors.
Furthermore, management and best operational practices will be applied. These include, but are not limited
to:
► Minimizing drop distance for material transfers; and
► Periodic inspections of material handling.
5.2 LVP Road Emissions
Fugitive PM10 and PM2.5 Emissions
There is one (1) unpaved, primary entrance road for offsite shipments which travels from the exterior of the
property to the scale and loading areas. Two (2) unpaved tram routes for front-end loader movement are
also accounted for. Fugitive emissions are generated from road use by customer trucks, support vehicles,
and heavy equipment used in mining operations. Fugitive dust from production activities such as loading,
unloading, storage of bulk materials, and material transporting may cause PM to be deposited on plant
roads. Vehicular traffic in these areas may then disturb dust deposited on plant roads, resulting in more PM
emissions.
Roads PM10 and PM2.5 Step 1 - Identify All Control Technologies
Control technologies identified for PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from roads are as follows, based on May 6,
2020 review of relevant entries in EPA’s RBLC:
► Chemical Treatment (Applicable to Unpaved Roads Only)
► Reduced Speed (Applicable to Unpaved Roads Only)
► Road Paving (Applicable to Unpaved Roads Only)
► Silt Content Reduction (Applicable to Unpaved Roads Only)
► Street Sweeping (Applicable to Paved Roads Only)
► Watering and Material Moisture Content
Roads PM10 and PM2.5 Step 2 – Eliminate Technically Infeasible Options
Chemical Treatment
Applying chemical treatment to unpaved roads binds surface particles together and inhibits fugitive
emissions by up to 85%17. This is feasible for haul roads, but not for paths on which bulldozers and/or
front-end loaders operate. Chemical treatment applied in such areas may contaminate mined aggregate and
cause technical problems during the crushing and screening process. Furthermore, product stockpiles may
17 UDAQ Guidelines: Emission Factors for Paved and Unpaved Haul Roads, January 2015
Las Vegas Paving | Notice of Intent 5-5
become contaminated and the effects of chemical treatment are reduced due to the frequent turning of
front-end loaders while loading customer haul trucks.
Reduced Speed
Reducing the speed on plant roads reduces the generation of fugitive dust. The Western Regional Air
Partnership (WRAP) Fugitive Dust Handbook reports that a 57% reduction in emissions occurs when speeds
are restricted to less than fifteen miles per hour (15 mph), and a 44% reduction in emissions when speeds
are restricted to 25 mph18. This control method is considered technically feasible.
Road Paving
Paving provides effective controls on fugitive road emissions. Guidelines from UDAQ indicate that paved
roadways, combined with sweeping and watering, provide a 90% control efficiency for particulate
emissions19. Paving roads is not technically feasible near dynamic mining operations at the LVP Grantsville
Operation, as route configurations are subject to change according to mine development. Furthermore,
emissions from paved roads in disrepair due to impact from heavy equipment are higher than properly
treated unpaved roads. Similarly, the benefits from applying chemical dust suppressants are negated in
areas where trucks turn and tracked equipment is used because those activities cause chemical dust
suppressants to deteriorate more quickly than is useful.
The main haul road, which is used for product export, will remain unpaved throughout the life of the mine.
This is due to the frequent travel of high volume, heavy-weight equipment on the road. Travel of this sort
rapidly deteriorates paved road surfaces, which is an accepted, significant concern for paved roads. If the
main haul road were paved, the frequent re-paving and road construction that would be necessary due to
its regular deterioration would hinder haul truck travel and subsequently obstruct the selling of processed
aggregate. The application of chemical suppressant and regular watering that will be done on the main haul
road will achieve nearly the same control as if the roads were paved.20 As such, paving of the main haul
road is considered technically infeasible.
Silt Content Reduction
Silt content reduction involves covering unpaved road surfaces with material that has a lower silt content
than what is naturally present, e.g., gravel or slag. Combined with watering, this method achieves up to
75% control efficiency21. This is considered technically feasible and will be applied where appropriate.
Street Sweeping
Street sweeping is a method of PM control that utilizes a mobile street sweeping unit to remove loose
material from paved road surfaces. This control technology is technically infeasible due to the stated inability
to adequately maintain paved roads at the LVP Grantsville Operation.
Watering and Material Moisture Content
Watering of haul roads reduces fugitive PM2.5 and PM10 emissions by binding soil particles together,
preventing their being picked up by wind or vehicles. Water is applied on a scheduled basis and
supplemented as needed based on driver observation of dust conditions. Basic watering results in a dust

include:
► Silt Content Reduction: Varies with current, uncontrolled road conditions, per AP-42 13.2.2.
Roads PM10 and PM2.5 Step 4 – Evaluate Most Effective Controls and Document Results
Since the highest available controls include implementing chemical suppression, road watering, speed
reduction, and silt content reduction on unpaved roads, no detailed economic, energetic, or environmental
impact evaluations were conducted.
Roads PM10 and PM2.5 Step 5 – Select BACT
Fugitive road emissions are generated from road use by customer trucks, employee vehicles, and front-end
loaders. The haul roads at the LVP Grantsville Operation are unpaved. BACT for these permanent haul roads
is considered to consist of chemical application, watering, and silt-content reduction to minimize fugitives as
practical. BACT for non-permanent roads – e.g., roads in proximity to the mining face – is considered to
consist of watering and silt content reduction to minimize fugitive dust. The LVP Grantsville Operation will
implement these controls.
5.3 LVP Drilling and Blasting
NOX and SO2 – Blasting
Blasting operations incorporate combustion of compounds containing ammonium nitrate in order to
pulverize material in the mining area. Blasting operations will produce fugitive NOX and SO2 emissions.
However, there are no control technologies that can be used to mitigate NOX and SO2 emissions associated
with blasting. As such, no BACT analysis has been conducted for these emissions.
PM10 and PM2.5 – Drilling and Blasting
Drilling and blasting methods loosen raw materials in the mining area in order to access the desired
aggregate embedded in the ground. These activities create fugitive dust.

► Dust Control Handbook for Industrial Minerals Mining and Processing, NIOSH, January 2012
► WRAP Fugitive Dust Handbook, Countess Environmental, September 2006
The following methods have been identified as control technologies to reduce fugitive dust emissions from
drilling and blasting:
► Apply a shroud to the drilling equipment;
► Apply best management and operational practices for drilling and blasting;
► Install a dust collection system on drilling equipment; and
► Install a water spray on drilling equipment, i.e., use of wet drilling practices.

drilling operations. Shrouds can vary in shape (rectangular vs. circular) and complexity in order to adapt to
mining operations. When installed and replaced correctly, shrouds can control 88% of fugitive dust
emissions.23 Using a shroud during drilling operations is technically feasible.
Best Management and Operational Practices for Drilling and Blasting
Best management and operational practices for blasting operations includes the following: using sufficient
stem length and refraining from blasting operations during high winds.24 Best management and operational
practices for drilling operations includes conducting routine inspections of drilling control technologies. This
may include repairing and/or replacing shrouds when they become damaged. Best management and
operational practices for controlling both drilling and blasting operations are technically feasible.
Dust Collection System on Drilling Equipment
Dust control is often accomplished using a fan-powered dust-collection system. For drilling operations, these
collection systems are mounted on the drill. If properly maintained, these systems can be up to 99%
efficient.25 For drilling operations, installing a dust collection system is technically feasible.
Water Spray on Drilling Equipment
Fugitive emissions for drilling equipment can be significantly reduced through wet drilling, using a water
spray which provides continuous water flow during drilling operations. With a high volumetric flow rate, dust
control efficiencies often attain 86-97%. However, when water flow rates approach one (1) gallon per
minute (gpm) operational problems such as drill bit plugging, and drill rotation binding often occur. Dust

Drilling and Blasting PM10 and PM2.5 Step 5 – Select BACT
BACT for drilling will be accomplished through adhering to best management practices, and using a dust
collection system or wet drilling practices proposed as BACT for drilling operations.
BACT for blasting will be accomplished by applying best management practices, minimizing the blasting
area, and limiting the size of blasting operations closer than 300 feet from the property boundary, and
avoiding blasting operations during high winds. Additionally, blasting and drilling are events will not occur on
the same day. These practices will mitigate fugitive dust from blasting operations.
5.4 LVP Disturbed Grounds
Fugitive PM10 and PM2.5 emissions are generated through wind disturbance on exposed aggregate. Various
operational practices can be considered for BACT. One option is to spray water on all areas not covered with
vegetation or synthetic material. The large volume of exposed area at the LVP Grantsville Operation would
require extensive amounts of water. Due to the constant movement of aggregate equipment and working
areas, the infrastructure required for the sprays is not technically feasible. Therefore, this option is not
considered BACT. Additionally, the aggregate being mined at the Grantsville pit is hard-rock and not
weathered material. As a result, the amount of fines on the mine surface will be minimal.
Best management practices and maintaining established opacity limitations are considered BACT to control
fugitive dust from disturbed grounds on site.

1. The LVP Grantsville Operation is located in Tooele County, which is in serious nonattainment for PM2.5. Values are per
UAC R307-403-5(2)(b)(ii).
2. Ammonia and HAPs were considered in the LVP Grantsville Operation’s facility-wide emissions; however, these
emissions are not applicable, as site power is provided by line power.
3. Per Emissions Impact Assessment Guidelines published by UDAQ.
4. Values are per UAC R307-403-5(2)(b)(ii)
The air dispersion modeling analysis will be performed to demonstrate that the impacts of the site-wide
PM10 emissions from the LVP Grantsville Operation will not exceed the NAAQS. As a supplement to this
application, LVP will submit a modeling protocol and an air dispersion modeling analysis for PM10 24-hour
NAAQS.
If this operating scenario would change in the future, LVP, on behalf of LNA and LVP, will notify the UDAQ
30 days prior to the change, or submit a revised NOI air permit application.
Because the total emission increases at the LVP Grantsville Operation do not constitute a major source, a
visibility analysis is not required.31

Las Vegas Paving | Notice of Intent 7-1
NONATTAINMENT/MAINTENANCE AREAS - OFFSETTING
Per UDAQ’s Form 1 for NOI and R307-420 and R307-421, this section should include offset requirements for
nonattainment and maintenance areas. The LVP Grantsville Operation is located within a PM2.5
nonattainment area.
7.1 LVP Offset Applicability
PM2.5 Offsets
PM2.5 offsets are applicable to major sources located within or impacting a PM2.5 nonattainment area of the
NAAQS. A major source in a serious nonattainment area is defined in R307-403-5(2)(b) as “any stationary
source of air pollutants which emits or has the [PTE] 70 [TPY] or more of direct PM2.5 or any individual PM2.5
precursor as defined in R307-403-1(4)(c) [i.e., SO2, NOX, VOCs, and ammonia].” The LVP Grantsville
Operation is not a major source, and it is therefore not subject to the offset requirements of R307-403.
PM10 Offsets
PM10 offsets requirements are described in UAC R307-421-2. They apply to new or modified sources of SO2
or NOX that are located in or impact Salt Lake County or Utah County. The LVP Grantsville Operation is
located in Tooele County, and does not impact either Salt Lake County or Utah County. The LVP Grantsville
Operation is therefore not subject to the PM10 offset requirements of R307-421.
Ozone Offsets
Ozone offsets requirements recorded in UAC R307-420-3(2) and VOC offsets are applicable to significant
sources located within or impacting an ozone nonattainment area of the NAAQS. In summary, significant
sources located in Davis County or Salt Lake County shall offset the proposed increase in VOC emissions by
a ratio of 1.2:1 before the Director may issue an AO to construct, modify, or relocate under R307-401. As
the LVP Grantsville Operation is located in Tooele County, ozone offsets are not applicable.
Furthermore, "significant" means, for the purposes of determining what is a significant emission increase or a
significant net emission increase and therefore a major modification, a rate of emissions that would equal or
exceed any of the following rates:
(1) for volatile organic compounds, 25 tons per year,
(2) for nitrogen oxides, 40 tons per year.
The PTE of the LVP Grantsville Operation presented in Appendix B is less than 25 tpy of VOCs, solidifying
the inapplicability of ozone offsets established in R307-420-3.

1Drilling operations will be controlled through wet-drilling. NIOSH reports a range from 86% to 97% control efficiency for controlling fugitive emissions via wet-drilling (per Summary of NIOSH research completed on
dust control methods for surface and underground drilling, Pg 2, December 2008). LVP has elected to implement wet-drilling control technologies to reduce fugitive drilling emissions. Because LVP will use a dust
collector in addition to wet drilling, the maximum 97% control efficiency value for wet-drilling is assumed to be applicable.
Scaling factors were applied to PM15 and TSP emission factors to calculate PM10 and PM2.5 emission factors respectively per Table 11.9-1:
As there is not data for the PM15 emission factor equation, PM15 is conservatively assumed to be equal to TSP.

3 Blasting SO2 emission factor developed using a mass balance assuming 6% fuel oil mixture with 500 ppm sulfur content, consistent with EPA non-road standards.
Since no emission factors are provided for PM10 and PM2.5 drilling operations, emission factors were calculated using the PM10 and PM2.5 to TSP ratios for blasting overburden per AP-42 11.9, Table 11.9-1, where:
2Drilling PM emission factor is retrieved from AP-42 11.9, Table 11.9-4, where the drilling PM emission factor is for overburden material for conservatism. The coal PM emission factor is lower and may be appropriate for some drilling
operations.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 General Information
Las Vegas Paving Corp. (LVP) is a heavy civil construction company that provides a comprehensive list of
services from paving to roto-milling, excavating to recycling. LVP is proposing to operate a permanent
aggregate mining, sizing, washing, and sales and distribution operations at Lhoist North America of Arizona,
Inc. (Lhoist or LNA) Grantsville Plant, in Grantsville, Utah in Tooele County. The Grantsville Plant is located
within an area of Tooele County designated as a non-attainment area of the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter with an equivalent aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 microns or less
(PM2.5). In addition, oxides of nitrogen (NOX), sulfur dioxide (SO2), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and
ammonia (NH3) are considered precursors to PM2.5 in Utah.
LVP is located within an attainment area of the NAAQS for particulate matter with an equivalent
aerodynamic diameter of 10 microns or less (PM10) and has a potential to emit (PTE) for fugitive PM10 in
excess of 5 tons per year. Per Utah administrative code R307-410-4, LVP has conducted a PM10 modeling
analysis to demonstrate compliance with the PM10 24-hour NAAQS in support of a Notice of Intent (NOI) air
quality permit application for the Grantsville Pit. This modeling report outlines the methodology LVP used for
the PM10 dispersion modeling analysis demonstrating compliance with the PM10 24-hour NAAQS and the
results from this modeling analysis.
1.2 Proposed Installations
The Grantsville Pit consists of an aggregate mine with aggregate crushing and screening operations that
occur on a Dry Circuit and on a Wash Circuit. The Dry Circuit is comprised of various crushers, screens,
conveyors, and stackers, and results in five (5) stockpiles. The Wash Circuit is comprised of various screens,
conveyors, and stackers, and results in four (4) stockpiles. Supporting equipment will be utilized in both
Circuits. In addition, there is one overflow stockpile area planned for the site.
Installations to be permitted and included in this modeling analysis of the Grantsville Pit are as follows.
► Dry Circuit crushing and screening plant;
► Conveyors and stackers for Dry Circuit;
► Wash Circuit screening plant;
► Conveyors and stackers for Wash Circuit;
► Clarifier for Wash Circuit;
► Drilling and Blasting (not concurrent); and,
► Supporting Operations:
• Truck Traffic;
• Bulldozing; and
• Front-end loader operation.
The general facility layout is shown in Figure 1-1 below.

Figure 1-1. Grantsville Pit Site Plan
1.3 Plant Layout
Figure 1-2 below presents a detailed layout of the Dry Circuit at the Grantsville Pit, and Figure 1-3 below
presents a detailed layout of the Wash Circuit. Drilling and blasting loosens aggregate from the mine area,
where it is then loaded by a front-end loader into the Dry Circuit’s primary feeder. Mined aggregate is then
fed into the crushing and screening operations where it is crushed, screened, and stacked into stockpiles.
Some of the stockpiled product from the Dry Circuit is then loaded into the Wash Circuit’s bin feeders by a
front-end loader. This aggregate is then washed, screened, and stacked according to size in the Wash
Circuit. Haul trucks are loaded by a front-end loader to haul both Dry Circuit and Wash Circuit products off-
site.

2. AIR DISPERSION MODELING DESCRIPTION
This section describes the air quality dispersion modeling analysis performed to estimate the ambient air
impacts of LVP’s operation of the Grantsville Pit. All modeling results were compared to the PM10 NAAQS for
the 24-hour averaging period. The objective of the NAAQS analysis is to demonstrate through air quality
dispersion modeling that emissions from the Grantsville Pit do not cause or contribute to an exceedance of
the PM10 NAAQS in ambient air. Nearby offsite sources area were also included, and the combined impacts
assessed against the PM10 NAAQS. Dispersion Modeling was conducted in accordance with R307-410-3 and
40 CFR Part 51, Appendix W Guideline on Air Quality Models.
2.1 Model Selection
Near-field dispersion modeling was performed using the latest version of the AERMOD modeling system,
version 19191, which is an EPA approved, steady-state Gaussian mathematical plume model. AERMOD is
composed of three modular components: AERMAP, the terrain preprocessor that characterizes the terrain
and generates source and receptor elevations and surrounding hill height scales; AERMET, the
meteorological preprocessor that processes raw surface and upper air meteorological observations for use
by AERMOD; and AERMOD, the control module and modeling processor.
2.2 Meteorological Data
Meteorological data used in the dispersion modeling analysis was processed and provided by UDAQ. Data
consists of five years (2008 through 2012) of National Weather Service (NWS) surface data collected at the
Salt Lake City Airport in Utah. Concurrent upper air observations used in AERMET were obtained from the
Salt Lake City Airport.
2.3 Terrain Elevations
Terrain elevations for the Grantsville Pit’s sources, receptors and buildings were determined using National
Elevation Dataset (NED), the primary elevation data product of the United States Geologic Survey (USGS).1
NED data are distributed in geographic coordinates in units of decimal degrees, and in conformance with the
North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83). The NED used for this analysis is at a resolution of 1/3 arc-
second (about 10 meter) grid spacing. Elevations were converted from the NED grid spacing to the air
dispersion model receptor spacing using the AERMOD preprocessor, AERMAP version 18081. All data
obtained from the NED files was checked for completeness and spot-checked for accuracy.
2.4 Receptors
A modeling domain was developed for the near-field analyses to encompass the location of the maximum
modeled concentration from LVP’s sources. Discrete receptor locations in AERMOD were based on UTM
coordinates in the NAD83 datum, Zone 12N. An initial modeling grid extending radially from the facility
center was established. The receptor grid was developed to ensure that maximum pollutant concentrations
were captured by the model. The ambient air boundary receptors were placed along the facility property
boundary. Ellerbeck Road, a public access road, passes through the facility property. Public access cannot
be precluded from Ellerbeck Road and the roadway is considered to be in the ambient air. Therefore,

discrete receptors were placed along Ellerbeck Road on the portions of the roadway within the facility
property boundary.
The model receptors consisted of boundary receptors, gridded receptors, and roadway receptors with the
following spacing:
► The ambient air boundary was placed at the facility property line and consists of discrete receptors
placed at 25-meter intervals.
► The fine grid contains 100-meter spaced receptors extending to 3 kilometers from the center of the
facility.
► The medium grid contains 250-meter spaced receptors extending to 6 kilometers from the center of the
facility.
► The coarse grid contains 500-meter spaced receptors extending to 10 kilometers from the center of the
facility.
► Receptors were placed on Ellerbeck Rd (the public access road) located within the eastern property
boundary at 25-meter intervals.
Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2 below show the ambient air boundary receptors (shown in purple below),
roadway receptors (yellow), and gridded offsite receptors (yellow).

2.5 UTM Coordinate System
In all modeling analyses input and output data files, the locations of emission sources, structures, and
receptors were represented in the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system and based on
NAD83. In this grid, the world is divided into 60 north-south zones, each covering a strip 6° wide in
longitude. The general area of the site is located in UTM Zone 12N. In each UTM Zone, coordinates are
measured north and east in meters. The northing values are measured continuously from zero at the
Equator, in a northerly direction. A central meridian through the middle of each 6° zone is assigned an
easting value of 500,000 meters. Grid values to the east of this central meridian, as in the case of the site,
are greater than 500,000 meters.

2.6 Building Downwash
The emission sources were evaluated in terms of their proximity to nearby structures. The Grantsville Pit is
free of structures that would have the potential to induce downwash. A downwash evaluation is not
included in this analysis.
2.7 Particle Depletion
Dry deposition was selected for this modeling demonstration. The dry deposition of pollutants at the
surface, whether particle or gaseous, results in removal of pollutant mass from the plume as the plume
travels downwind from the source. This removal process is referred to as dry depletion, and acts to reduce
ground-level concentrations and deposition fluxes.2 Particle size distributions for plume depletion of all non-
blasting fugitive PM10 emission sources were provided by Utah DAQ and are shown in Table 2-1 below.
Table 2-1. Non-Blasting Particle Size Distributions3
The particle size distributions above include all non-blasting sources except for dozing, disturbed ground,
and drilling. Dozing used batch drop distributions as the most similar source approximation due the similar
nature of material handling. The disturbed ground source used pile wind erosion size distributions due to
the similarity of wind erosion from disturbed material storage. Drilling used crushing as the most similar

source approximation due to the similar nature of mechanically impacting large pieces of rock within an
enclosure.
Particle size distributions for blasting sources was derived from AP-42 Table 11.9-1 which is the best
available information for blasting sources in the western United States. Table 11.9-1 from section 11.9 of
AP-42 lists the emission factors for Western Surface Coal Mining processes. The blasting emission factors
were used to determine the distribution of emissions for particles with nominal diameters less than 10
microns (PM10). A 2nd degree polynomial was used to fit this data and determine the size distribution for
other particle sizes. Figure 2-3 below shows the AP-42 particle size distribution and polynomial fit. Table 2-2
below shows the calculated particle size distribution that was used for blasting sources at LVP.

3.SOURCE PARAMETERS AND EMISSION RATES
3.1 Volume Source Parameters and Emission Rates
Aggregate crushing and screening, material handling, raw material and product loading, customer truck
export, drilling, and blasting were modeled as volume sources. All volume sources require release height,
initial lateral dimension, initial vertical dimension, and emission rate as inputs to characterize the sources.
This section explains the methodology to obtain the modelling parameters required for volume sources. All
inputs for volume source parameters can be seen in Appendix A of this modeling analysis.
3.1.1 Aggregate Material Handling Modeling Parameters and Emission Rates
The emissions from screening, crushing and associated material transfers were modeled as various volume
sources and based on the dimensions of equipment. To be conservative and representative of the source,
the initial lateral dimension of the single volume source was the smallest width of the unit divided by 4.3,
the initial vertical dimension was the height from ground level to the highest point on the screen divided by
4.3.4 The release height of the single volume source was half of the height (center of the volume source).
The Grantsville Pit emissions calculations and modeling analysis were conducted using a 1,500,000 tons
per year (tpy) annual throughput, with 90% of the mass throughput processed in the crushing and
screening operations. A maximum hourly throughput of 800 tons per hour (tph) was assumed for
modeling of the primary feeder, and the remaining throughput of equipment is based on the expected
percentage of material associated with each piece of equipment following estimated material splits.
Modeling parameters for all fugitive material handling emission and emission rates can be found in Appendix
A, Table A-1.
3.1.2 Haul Road Modeling Parameters and Emission Rates
The Grantsville Pit has an unpaved road on which customer trucks travel to retrieve and haul aggregate off
site. Guidance from the Haul Road Workgroup Final Report Submission to EPA-OAQPS Memo by Tyler Fox
on March 2, 2012 was used to determine the modeling parameters of this haul road. Figure 1-1 shows the
unpaved haul route in red which includes two loops (west and east) where trucks travel to retrieve
aggregate. Trucks will travel on only one of the two loops and it is assumed that traffic will be evenly
distributed among each loop.
The adjusted road width, release height and emission rates are required volume source inputs for the road.
The release height was half the top of the plume height, and the plume height was defined as 1.7 times the
vehicle height.5 Customer trucks were modeled applying a vehicle height of 3.0 m. The vehicle width plus
6.0 m was applied as the width of the plume, also known as the adjusted vehicle width. The Grantsville Pit
haul roads are wide enough for two lanes of travel, but haul truck travel frequency will be sparce enough
that plumes from multiple trucks will not regularly combine. Therefore, the single lane calculation was used
for development of haul road volume source parameters.
Applying the adjusted vehicle width and adjacent option, several volume sources were generated which
include the emission rate evenly divided between each volume source of the specified road. The initial
4 Table 3-1 of AERMOD User’s Guide, for single volume source the initial lateral dimension is determined as length of side divided by 4.3. In general, a smaller distance will produce a more conservative concentration. 5 Haul Road Workgroup Final Report Submission to EPA-OAQPS Memo by Tyler Fox on March 2, 2012.
Las Vegas Paving | PM10 Modeling Analysis Trinity Consultants 3-2
lateral dimension, initial vertical dimension, and release height for each volume source within the haul road
were all identical. The initial lateral dimension was calculated for use in AERMOD as the width of the plume
(or adjusted vehicle width) divided by a factor of 2.15. The initial vertical dimension was calculated in
AERMOD as the height of the plume divided by a factor of 2.15. The height of the plume was 1.7 times the
truck height. The volume sources were spaced based on the “Adjacent” option, indicating they were spaced
according to the adjusted vehicle width (i.e., the “adjusted vehicle width” defines the width of each volume
source within a roadway and is also the distance between each volume source).
Truck traffic at the Grantsville Pit will consist of customer trucks retrieving and hauling both processed and
unprocessed aggregate off site. The average vehicle weight was determined by provided average weights
based on the mass of empty and filled trucks. Information regarding vehicle weight and maximum gross
vehicle weight were provided by the National Academy of Science and UAC R909-2 Utah Size and Weight
Rule.6,7
Haul road modeling parameters and emissions rates can be found in Appendix A, Table A-2 of this modeling
analysis.
3.1.3 Drilling and Blasting
The Grantsville pit mining operations consist of drilling holes for packing explosives in and then blasting
those explosives to loosen the material to be handled by loaders. The series of events consists of drilling
holes in the days leading up to a blast day. On a day that blasting occurs, no drilling will occur, instead,
explosive charges will be loaded into the already drilled holes. For this reason, two modeling scenarios were
run, a drilling day scenario and a blasting day scenario. Blasting days are characterized by the following:
► No drilling will occur on a blasting day.
► Surrounding the time of a blast, all other operations (truck traffic, crushing and screening, loading, etc.)
will cease before and after the blast, totaling two (2) hours of inactivity.
► No more than 25,000 ft2 of surface area may be blasted on any one day.
► The center of the blasting location may occur no closer than 265 feet from the property boundary.
► The emissions associated with blasting have been assumed to occur within a one hour blasting window.
All sources in the pit (active mining area) including blasting and drilling as well as dozing and disturbed area
(detailed in Section 3.2 below) were modeled at the worst-case year of the mine plan for emission impacts.
Worst-case is determined to be the year where active mining takes place closest to the ambient air
boundary. Drilling and blasting are modeled as centered at the 265 foot setback from the property
boundary. Other sources are placed in the geographic center of the mine plan area for the worst-case year.
The drilling plume height and width are based on engineering estimates of typical values for drilling
operations at similar mines. The blasting plume height and width are based on the U.S. EPA Open
Burn/Open Detonation Dispersion Model (OBODM). OBODM was applied to the designed blasting at the
Grantsville pit and calculated a plume width and height of 70.71 meters. In addition to the OBODM blasting
parameters, DEQ requested that a modeling analysis also be conducted with a 50 ft plume height. Separate
modeling tabulations (modeled groups in AERMOD) were conducted that used either the OBODM or 50 ft
plume height, with all other blasting parameters and sources kept equal.

Las Vegas Paving | PM10 Modeling Analysis Trinity Consultants 3-3
The drilling and blasting volume source parameters were all calculated using the same methodology. The
release height was set equal to half of the plume height and the initial vertical and horizontal directions
were set equal to the plume heights and widths divided by a factor of 4.3.
3.2 Area Source Parameters and Emission Rates
Aggregate stockpiling, disturbed ground, and bulldozing were modeled as area sources. All area sources
require release height, initial lateral dimension, initial vertical dimension, and emission rate as inputs to
characterize the sources. This section explains the methodology to obtain the modelling parameters
required for volume sources. All inputs for volume source parameters can be seen in Appendix A of this
modeling analysis.
3.2.1 Stockpile Erosion Modeling Parameters and Emission Rates
There will be ten (10) stockpiles located at the Grantsville Pit that store crushed stones of varying sizes.
Stockpiles found at the Grantsville Pit will be as follows:
► Five (5) Stockpiles – Dry Circuit Stockpiles
► Four (4) Stockpiles – Wash Circuit Stockpiles
► One (1) Overflow Stockpile Area – Inactive Stockpile
The nine (9) active stockpiles will be round shaped on the base and created by conveyor stackers; emissions
from these piles were modeled as circular area sources. The overflow (inactive) stockpile may occupy any or
all of an irregularly shaped area allocated for overflow aggregate storage. This was modeled as a polygon
area source.
Release height for each pile was determined to be half of the average height.8 This assumption balances the
considerations that wind speed increases with elevation and leads to greater erosion, and the surface area
above a certain height decreases as the given height increases. Initial vertical dispersion (sigma z) was the
average pile height divided by 4.3.9 The release height for the storage pile is above ground level, and the
cavity thickness was considered to represent the entire thickness of the plume. Therefore, the area source
was considered an elevated source.
The location of the vertices parameters was determined based on a known center point from the Dry and
Wash Circuit areas. Base areas and distances were determined by engineering estimates provided by LVP.
Stockpile modeling parameters and emissions rates are detailed in Appendix A, Table A-3 of this modeling
analysis.
3.2.2 Bulldozer Modeling Parameters
The Grantsville Pit will utilize drilling and blasting measures to break up solid material into aggregate
material. Bulldozers will be used to maneuver blasted aggregate from the mining area toward the primary
feeder.
8 According to Section 5.2.7 of "Modeling Fugitive Dust Sources with AERMOD" published by the National Stone, Sand, and
Gravel Association (NSSGA).
9 According to Section 5.2.9 of "Modeling Fugitive Dust Sources with AERMOD" published by the National Stone, Sand and Gravel Association (NSSGA).
Las Vegas Paving | PM10 Modeling Analysis Trinity Consultants 3-4
The release height and emission rates are required input for the bulldozer area source. The release height
was half the top of the plume height; and the plume height was defined as 1.7 times the vehicle height.10
The initial vertical dimension was calculated in AERMOD as the height of the plume divided by a factor of
2.15, recall the height of the plume was 1.7 times the bulldozer height. The bulldozer was modeled applying
a 4 m height.
The bulldozer modeling parameters and emission rate are detailed in Appendix A, Table A-4 of this modeling
analysis.
3.2.3 Disturbed Ground Modeling Parameters
The Grantsville Pit will have up to five (5) acres of active, disturbed ground at any given time. While the
total area of the mine during the course of its life is 40 acres, the inactive 35 acres will either be reclaimed
or undisturbed. A 1.0 m release height and 2.0 m initial vertical dimension was provided for active,
disturbed ground to account for any slope variation within the area.
The disturbed ground parameters and emissions rate are detailed in Appendix A, Table A-5 of this modeling
analysis.
3.3 Nearby Sources - Emission Rates
Nearby sources of PM10 were obtained from UDAQ in an October 9, 2020 email (Cargill, Inc (Cargill)) and a
follow-up phone call with Dave Prey of UDAQ on October 21, 2020 (Lhoist North America (Lhoist)). UDAQ
requested that Cargill’s salt plant located at UTM coordinates 359,940 m Easting, 4,512,330 m Northing,
UTM Zone 12 be included in the air dispersion model as a nearby source of PM10.
3.3.1 Cargill, Inc.
The emissions from Cargill were calculated by converting the facility’s PM10 PTE as documented in approval
order DAQE-AN107220016-16 (dated March 23, 2016) into a gram per second emission rate. Condition
II.B.2.f of the approval order states hourly emission limits for four point sources at the facility. These hourly
emission rates were scaled to annual emission rates by assuming 8,760 hours/year of operation of the
emission sources and the associated annual emissions were deducted from the facility PM10 PTE. The
remaining PM10 PTE was scaled to a grams per second emission rate by assuming 8,760 hours/year of
operation and is represented in the model as a fugitive volume source. The Cargill point source release
parameters are estimated using Cargill stack test reports obtained from the Utah Division of Air Quality's
EQDocs search. The remaining emissions from Cargill fugitives were assigned release parameters estimated
from aerial imagery of the onsite building dimensions. All Cargill sources were assigned particle size
distributions for batch drop sources as shown in Table 2-1 as this is the best available representation for
particulate sources at Cargill.
3.3.2 Lhoist North America
The emissions from Lhoist were not included in the modeling analysis. LVP and Lhoist will not operate
simultaneously at any time, therefore, LVP and Lhoist emissions were not aggregated for evaluation of
ambient impacts.

4. MODELING ANALYSIS
The modeling analysis predicts ambient concentrations of PM10 due to emissions from the Grantsville Pit and
surrounding co-contributing sources. The modeling output includes tabulated modeling results as compared
to the PM10 24-hour NAAQS.
4.1 Operating Scenarios
The modeled operations were divided into two separate scenarios; drilling days and blasting days. Drilling
and blasting are exclusive events; therefore, the emissions associated with either event will not occur
simultaneously on any given day. Drilling days consist of normal operations with the addition of drilling holes
in the mine area. Blasting days consist of normal operations without any drilling, and one blast per day.
During a blasting event, all other onsite operations (loading, hauling, crushing, and screening operations,
etc.) are suspended for a two (2) hour period.
4.2 Blasting Hour of Day Screening Analysis
Blasting only occurs once per day and all emissions are contained within a single hour. The hour of the day
selected for blasting affects the modeled 24-hour PM10 impacts due to variable meteorological conditions
throughout each day. A screening analysis was conducted with blasting occurring at each hour of the day to
rank the modeled impacts based on time of day. The screening analysis used only emissions from blasting
and used the 50 ft plume height supplied by UDAQ. The results of the screening analysis are contained in
Appendix B, Table B-1 and show the varying impacts at modeled hours of the day. Based on the results of
the blasting screening, the worst-case meteorological impact hour between 10:00 am (start) and 4:00 pm
(stop) was selected. This corresponded with blasting occurring during the 3:00-4:00 pm time frame. This
blasting window was then utilized to generate the NAAQS assessment for the blast days. This is further
discussed in Section 4.5 below.
4.3 Background Concentrations
Background concentrations for PM10 for the Grantsville area were provided by UDAQ via email on October 9,
2020. The background data consists of monthly maximums of 24-hour PM10 for the years of 1995-1997. The
value used in the modeling analysis is the first second highest day (H2H) from 1995-1997. The background
concentrations for PM10 obtained from UDAQ are presented in Table 4-1 below.

4.4 Modeled Concentration
The resulting concentration of PM10 from this air dispersion modeling analysis was compared against the
PM10 NAAQS to demonstrate that emissions from the Grantsville Pit do not cause or contribute to an
exceedance of the PM10 NAAQS. The primary NAAQS is the maximum concentration ceiling, measured in
terms of total concentration of a pollutant in the atmosphere, which define the “level of air quality which the
U.S. EPA judges are necessary, with an adequate margin of safety, to protect the public health.”11 The 24-
hour PM10 NAAQS requires the 6th highest concentration over the five (5) modeled years be compared to the
standard. The modeled concentration was added to the monthly background concentrations for comparison
to the NAAQS. This calculation was completed within the AERMOD modeling system.
4.5 24-Hour PM10 NAAQS Analysis Results
A NAAQS analysis considers the impact from the sources at the Grantsville Pit and background
concentrations to yield a total concentration which is then compared to the NAAQS which, for 24-hour PM10,
is 150 µg/m3. The blasting scenario was determined to be below the 24-hour PM10 NAAQS for blasting
emissions beginning after 10:00 am and concluding by 4:00 pm. The blasting screening analysis showed
that the emissions hour beginning at 3:00 pm was the worst case hour for modeled impacts within the time
interval beginning at 10:00 am and concluding at 4:00 pm. Therefore, the results of the blasting scenario
with blasting at the 3:00 pm hour are reported below and submitted with this report. Table 4-2 presents the
model-predicted concentrations from the Grantsville Pit and background concentration, and 24-hour PM10
NAAQS comparison.

2 The initial lateral dimension is calculated as the width of the volume source divided by a factor of 4.3. AERMOD User’s Guide issued by EPA, September
2004 (EPA-454/B-03-001).
3 If the source is a surface based source or an elevated source on or adjacent to a structure (structure based), the initial vertical dimension would be the
vertical dimension of the source divided by 2.15. If the source is an elevated source not on or adjacent to a structure (elevated source), the initial vertical
dimension would be the vertical dimension of the source divided by 4.3. Note a lattice structure is not considered a structure because it does not obstruct
wind flow. AERMOD User’s Guide issued by EPA, September 2004 (EPA-454/B-03-001).

1. The release height is half of the average pile height. According to Section 5.2.7 of "Modeling Fugitive Dust Sources with AERMOD" published by the National
Stone, Sand, and Gravel Association (NSSGA). This assumption balances the considerations that wind speed increases with elevation and leads to greater
erosion, and the surface area above a certain height decreases as the given height increases.

Description
1 Release height for bulldozers is characterized similarly to that of haul trucks. The release height is half the top of the plume height; and the
plume height is defined as 1.7 times the vehicle height. Haul Road Workgroup Final Report Submission to EPA-OAQPS Memo by Tyler Fox on
March 2, 2012.
2 The initial vertical dimension is calculated as the height of the plume divided by a factor of 2.15, the height of the plume is 1.7 times the
vehicle height.
3 A 2 meter initial vertical dimension is provided for disturbed area to account for any slope variation in the ground. Road Workgroup Final
Report Submission to EPA-OAQPS Memo by Tyler Fox on March 2, 2012.

1. Release parameters estimated from aerial imagery of the onsite building dimensions
2. Guidance from AERMOD User’s Guide issued by EPA, September 2004 (EPA-454/B-03-001) is used to determine the release height, i.e. the center of the volume source.
3. The initial lateral dimension is calculated as the width of the volume source divided by a factor of 4.3. AERMOD User’s Guide issued by EPA, September 2004 (EPA-454/B-03-001).
4. If the source is a surface based source or an elevated source on or adjacent to a structure (structure based), the initial vertical dimension would be the vertical dimension of the source divided by 2.15. If the source is an
elevated source not on or adjacent to a structure (elevated source), the initial vertical dimension would be the vertical dimension of the source divided by 4.3. AERMOD User’s Guide issued by EPA, September 2004 (EPA-
454/B-03-001).

TO: Sarah Foran, NSR Engineer
FROM: Dave Prey, Air Quality Modeler
DATE: January 29, 2021
SUBJECT: Modeling Analysis Review for the Notice of Intent for Las Vegas Paving Corporation – Grantsville Pit, Tooele County, Utah
This is not a Major Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Source.
I. OBJECTIVE
Las Vegas Paving Corporation (Applicant) is seeking a new approval for their Grantsville Pit,
located in Tooele County, Utah. This facility consists of an aggregate processing plant. This report
prepared by the staff of the NSR contains a review of the Applicant’s Air Quality Impact Analysis
(AQIA) including the information, data, assumptions and modeling results used to determine if the
facility would be in compliance with State and Federal concentration standards.
II. APPLICABLE RULE(S)
Utah Air Quality Rules:
R307-401-6 Condition for Issuing an Approval Order
R307-410-2 Use of Dispersion Models R307-410-4 Modeling of Criteria Pollutants in Attainment Areas
III. MODELING METHODOLOGY
A. Applicability
Emissions from the facility include HAPS, PM10, NOx, CO, SO2, and VOC. The only criteria
pollutant that exceeds the modeling threshold is PM10. All other pollutant increases were below
modeling thresholds and therefore were not modeled. Modeling for PM10 was performed by the
applicant.

B. Assumptions
1. Topography/Terrain
The Plant is at an elevation of 4222 feet with terrain features that have an effect on
concentration predictions.
a. Zone: 12
b. Approximate Location:
UTM (NAD83): 359963 meters East
4512391 meters North
2. Urban or Rural Area Designation
After a review of the appropriate 7.5 minute quadrangles, it was concluded the area is
“rural” for air modeling purposes.
3. Ambient Air
It was determined the Plant boundary used in the AQIA meets the State’s definition of
ambient air.
4. Building Downwash
The Applicant used the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Building Profile
Input Program (BPIP) to determine GEP stack heights and building dimensions for input
into the AERMOD model. Parameters from the stacks and dimensions from buildings were
input into the BPIP. It was assumed ground level elevations for the stacks and buildings
were the same. The output from BPIP showed all stacks to be less than their GEP formula
stack height, thereby, required a wake effect evaluation.
5. Meteorology
Five (5) years of off-site surface and upper air data were used in the analysis consisting of
the following:
Surface – NWS Salt Lake Airport: 2008 - 2012
Upper Air – NWS Salt Lake Airport: 2008 - 2012
6. Background
Background concentrations were based on ambient air data monitored in Grantsville, Utah.
DAQE-MN160410001-21

7. Receptor and Terrain Elevations
The modeling domain used by the Applicant consisted of various 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 US EPA AERMOD model was used by the Applicant to predict air pollutant
concentrations under a simple/complex terrain/wake effect situation. In quantifying
concentrations, the regulatory default option was selected by the Applicant.
9. Air Pollutant Emission Rates
