PUBLIC NOTICE
A Notice of Intent for the following project submitted in accordance with R307-401-1, Utah
Administrative Code (UAC), has been received for consideration by the Director:
Company Name: Broken Arrow Inc.
Location: Broken Arrow Inc. - Broken Arrow Flux Operations 2600 North Ellerbeck Rd.,
Grantsville, UT
Project Description: Broken Arrow Inc. operates a salt processing plant located near Grantsville in Tooele County. The process dries, screens,
and loads salt harvested from the
Great Salt Lake for shipment to customers. The plant produces up to 500,000 tons of salt annually. The company also dries liquid magnesium
chloride concentrate. The magnesium chloride concentrate is brought in to the plant by the tanker trucks and dried by a new natural gas-
fired burner. The plant processes up to 21 million gallons of magnesium chloride concentrate a year. Broken Arrow has requested a
modification to Approval Order (AO) DAQE-AN130290007-25 to replace the 40 MMBtu/hr dryer with a new rotary dryer rated at 75 MMBtu/hr.
The burner is an ultra-low-NOx burner. Emissions from the drying processes are controlled with a venturi wet scrubber. Annual natural gas
consumption, which is used to estimate emissions, will remain unchanged; therefore, there will be no annual emission changes as a result of
the replacement.
The completed engineering evaluation and air quality impact analysis showed the proposed project meets the requirements of federal air
quality regulations and the State air quality rules. The Director intends to issue an Approval Order pending a 30-day public comment period.
The project proposal, estimate of the effect on local air quality, and draft Approval Order are available for public inspection and comment at
the Utah Division of Air Quality, 195 North 1950 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116. Written comments received by the Division at this same
address on or before May 23, 2025, will be considered in making the final decision on the approval/disapproval of the proposed project. Email
comments will also be accepted at ehe@utah.gov. If anyone so requests to the Director in writing within 15 days of publication of this notice,
a hearing will be held in accordance with R307-401-7, UAC.
Under Section 19-1-301.5, a person who wishes to challenge a Permit Order may only raise an issue or argument during an adjudicatory
proceeding that was raised during the public comment period and was supported with sufficient information or documentation to enable the
Director to fully consider the substance and significance of the issue. Date of Notice: April 23, 2025

NOTICE
A Notice of Intent for the following project submitted in accordance with R307-401-1, Utah
Administrative Code (UAC), has been received for consideration by the Director:
Company Name: Broken Arrow Inc.
Location: Broken Arrow Inc. - Broken Arrow Flux Operations – 2600 North Ellerbeck Rd.,
Grantsville, UT
Project Description: Broken Arrow Inc. operates a salt processing plant located near Grantsville in
Tooele County. The process dries, screens, and loads salt harvested from the
Great Salt Lake for shipment to customers. The plant produces up to 500,000
tons of salt annually. The company also dries liquid magnesium chloride
concentrate. The magnesium chloride concentrate is brought in to the plant by the
tanker trucks and dried by a new natural gas-fired burner. The plant processes up
to 21 million gallons of magnesium chloride concentrate a year. Broken Arrow
has requested a modification to Approval Order (AO) DAQE-AN130290007-25
to replace the 40 MMBtu/hr dryer with a new rotary dryer rated at 75 MMBtu/hr.
The burner is an ultra-low-NOx burner. Emissions from the drying processes are
controlled with a venturi wet scrubber. Annual natural gas consumption, which is
used to estimate emissions, will remain unchanged; therefore, there will be no
annual emission changes as a result of the replacement.
The completed engineering evaluation and air quality impact analysis showed the proposed project meets
the requirements of federal air quality regulations and the State air quality rules. The Director intends to
issue an Approval Order pending a 30-day public comment period. The project proposal, estimate of the
effect on local air quality, and draft Approval Order are available for public inspection and comment at
the Utah Division of Air Quality, 195 North 1950 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116. Written comments
received by the Division at this same address on or before May 23, 2025, will be considered in making
the final decision on the approval/disapproval of the proposed project. Email comments will also be
accepted at ehe@utah.gov. If anyone so requests to the Director in writing within 15 days of publication
of this notice, a hearing will be held in accordance with R307-401-7, UAC.
Under Section 19-1-301.5, a person who wishes to challenge a Permit Order may only raise an issue or
argument during an adjudicatory proceeding that was raised during the public comment period and was
supported with sufficient information or documentation to enable the Director to fully consider the
substance and significance of the issue. Date of Notice: April 23, 2025

Modification to AO DAQE-AN130290007-25 to Replace Equipment Project Description Broken Arrow has requested a modification to AO DAQE-AN130290007-25 to replace the 40 MMBtu/hr dryer with a new rotary dryer rated at 75 MMBtu/hr. The burner is an ultra-low-NOx burner. Emissions from the drying processes are controlled with a venturi wet scrubber. The new dryer will share the workload with the existing dyers, and the natural gas consumption will remain unchanged. Emissions as a result of the replacement will also remain the same.
EMISSION IMPACT ANALYSIS The source is not required to model for any criteria pollutants and HAPs because the emissions remain unchanged as a result of this modification. [Last updated January 30, 2025]

Review of BACT for New/Modified Emission Units 1. BACT review regarding the new 75 MMBtu/hr dryer
The source has proposed to replace the existing 40 MMBtu/hr natural gas-fired dryer with the new 75 MMBtu/hr natural gas-fired dryer. The new dryer will allow the source to maintain production capacity during maintenance periods. The source has not proposed to increase natural gas
consumption or salt production; therefore, emissions will not increase from the equipment replacement. The dryer is equipped with an ultra-low-NOx burner with NOx emission concentrations at 9 ppm or less. The venturi wet scrubber will control particulate emissions from the dryer. The scrubber will provide a 99% or better control efficiency for salt particles. Visible emissions from the scrubber are limited to 10% opacity. The minor NSR Section considers the ultra-low-NOx burner, the scrubber, and opacity limit as BACT. [Last updated February 6, 2025]

REVIEWER COMMENTS
1. Comment regarding stack testing requirement on the new dryer: The following factors were considered for not requiring stack testing on the new dryer: 1. On an annual basis, the salt production and natural gas consumption will not increase; the new venturi wet scrubber provides 99% particulate control efficiency. Therefore, emissions from this new dryer will stay unchanged. 2. The source is located in the PM2.5 serious nonattainment area with a major source threshold of 70
tpy PM2.5. The sitewide PM2.5 PTE is 36.77 tpy, far from triggering the major source threshold. 3. Modeling would be required if certain emission increases exceed the thresholds stipulated under
R307-410-4, Table 1. Because there are no emission increases as a result of the replacement, modeling will not be triggered.
4. Venturi wet scrubbers are proven technology for particulate control. Salt particles are readily captured and dissolved in the water mists. The scrubber manufacturer guarantees its performance under the conditions in II.B.3.b of the ER. Based on these considerations, the Minor NSR Section does not require stack testing on the new dryer. [Last updated April 8, 2025] 2. Comment regarding NSPS and MACT Applicability: 40 CFR 60 (NSPS) Subpart OOO applies to nonmetallic mineral processing plants. Sodium Chloride (salt) is defined as a nonmetallic mineral in 60.671, however this site does not crush or grind minerals. Therefore, Subpart OOO does not apply to this source.
40 CFR 60 (NSPS) Subpart Dc applies to facilities that operate steam generating units for which construction, modification, or reconstruction commenced after June 9, 1989 and that has a maximum heat input capacity of 100 MMBTU/h or less, but greater than or equal to 10 MMBTU/h. This source does not operate any steam generating units. Therefore, Subpart Dc does not apply to this source. 40 CFR 60 (NSPS) Subpart IIII applies to the 1,474-hp (1,100-kW) diesel-fired engine. 40 CFR 60 (NSPS) Subpart JJJJ applies to the 201-hp (150-kW) natural gas/propane fired engine.
Engineer Review N130290008: Broken Arrow Inc. - Broken Arrow Flux Operations April 8, 2025 Page 14
40 CFR 60 (NSPS) Subpart UUU applies to each calciner and dryer at a mineral processing plant. The facility does not operate any calciner that removes chemically bounded water; The dryers onsite
do not process minerals as defined in 60.731. Therefore, this standard does not apply to this source.
40 CFR 63 (MACT) Subpart BBBBBBB applies to owners and operators of chemical preparation facilities. This source only processes salt which is not a "target-HAP'' as defined in 63.11588; therefore, Subpart BBBBBBB does not apply to this source.
40 CFR 63 (MACT) Subpart BBBBBBB applies to owners and operators of chemical preparation facilities. This source only processes salt which is not a "target-HAP'' as defined in 63.11588; therefore, Subpart BBBBBBB does not apply to this source. 40 CFR 63 (MACT) Subpart ZZZZ applies to the emergency generator engines. [Last updated January 30, 2025]
3. Comment regarding Title V applicability: Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act (Title V) applies to the following: 1. Any major source 2. Any source subject to a standard, limitation, or other requirement under Section 111 of the Act,
Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources; 3. Any source subject to a standard or other requirement under Section 112 of the Act, Hazardous Air Pollutants.
4. Any Title IV affected source.
This source is not a major source, nor a Title IV affected source. NSPS Subparts IIII and JJJJ, and MACT Subpart ZZZZ specifically exempt the source from the obligation to obtain a Title V Operating Permit if the source is not required for the permit for a reason other than being subject to these standards. There are no other reasons why this source would be required to obtain a Title V permit; therefore, Title V does not apply to this facility. [Last updated January 30, 2025]
