IV. Introduction and Background:

Leonardite Products, LLC submitted a permit application on July 8, 2019 for the construction andoperation of new equipment at the Leonardite Products facility. The facility previously operatedunder the name GeoResources under Permit to Operate No. M82002, which expired on August 31,2009. Under the previous owner/operator, the facility had a history of complaints; in theDepartment's opinion, these complaints were the result of inadequate operation and maintenanceof control equipment and improper control of fugitive emissions. With proper attention tooperations and maintenance of control equipment and adequate fugitive dust control, emissionsfrom the facility are not expected to be significant. Equipment to be located at the facility isshown below.

V. Potential to Emit (PTE)

Potential emissions from the facility are as follows:

PM/PM10/PM2.5 SO2 NOx CO VOCs Pb

Total

HAPs

1.3/1.3/1.3A .

0.05 8.5 7.2 0.5 <0.01 0.2

PM: particulate matterPMio: particulate matter under 10 microns (<10 pg), includes PM2.5.PM2.5: particulate matter under 2.5 microns (<2.5 pg)SO2: sulfur dioxide

NOx: nitrogen oxidesVOC: volatile organic compoundsCO: carbon monoxide

Pb: lead

HAPs: hazardous air pollutants® Only emissions from EU005 and EUO14 are vented to atmosphere (other emission units are vented

inside buildings). The permit application conservatively calculated PM/PM10/PM2.5 emissions of15.6/8.3/8.3 tons/year by including emissions vented internally. The Department does not includeemissions which are vented internally (not vented to the atmosphere) when calculating potential toemit; therefore, only emissions vented to the atmosphere are shown in the table.

See application for detailed emission calculations.

VI. Applicable Standards

A. NDAC 33.1-15-02 — Ambient Air Quality Standards

The facility must comply with the Ambient Air Quality Standards (AAQS). Otherrequirements of this chapter include general prohibitions against harming health, causingdamage to plants, animals, other property and visible degradation. In addition to thesestandards, compliance with the Department's Air Toxics Policy is required.

B.

Expected Compliance

In accordance with an October 6, 2014 Department memorandum (copy attached),dispersion modeling is not required since NOx, SO2 and PM10/PM2.5 emissions are belowthe levels established in the memorandum. PM/PM10/PM2.5 emissions are expected to below at less than 1 Ib/hr. The stack for the permanent dryer (EU005) will be required to beat least 85 feet high. Given the low emission rate and high stack height, compliance withthe AAQS is expected.

Total combined HAP emissions are low at 0.2 tons/year; a conservative "Tier 1" analysiswas included with the permit application. The analysis was reviewed, appears to beaccurate, and demonstrates that air toxics emissions are expected to comply with the AirToxics Policy'. Based on this analysis, compliance with the Air Toxics policy is expected.

NDAC 33.1-15-03 - Restriction of Emission of Visible Air Contaminants

This chapter restricts the amount of visible air contaminants, primarily particulate matter,from incinerators and fuel-burning units.

Expected Compliance

Based on the fuels used and the pollution control equipment, visible air emissions areexpected to be well below the 20% opacity limit established by this chapter.

Table 3 - Opacity Limits

Emission Unit Description EU

Pollutant/

Parameter Emission Limit

Dryer/classification system 005 Opacity 20%

Temporary dryer 014 Opacity 20%-^

^ 40% permissible for not more than six minutes per hour.

Chapter 33.1-15-05 - Emissions of Particulate Matter Restricted

This chapter restricts the amount of particulate matter from industrial process units andincinerators and fuel burning units.

Gaseous fuel is combusted, so particulate matter emissions from fuel combustion areexempt from this Chapter.

The processing and handling equipment are subject to the requirements of this Chapter.

1 August 25, 2010 NDDOH Policy for the Control of Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) Emissions in ND (aha AirToxics Policy), https://deq.nd.g0v/publications/AO/Doiicv/Modeling/Air Toxics Policv.pdf

3

Using the formulas in the chapter, allowable PM emissions (AE) are calculated as follows:

AE = 4.10(pf6'

Where p = process weight rate in tons/hour

AE (EU005) = 4.10( 15)°^' = 25.16 Ib/hr

AE (EUO14) = 4.10(5)®-^^ = 12.05 Ib/hr

Expected Compliance

Emissions from both EU005 and EUO 14 are less than 0.5 Ib/hr; therefore, compliance withthe requirements of this chapter is expected.

D. NDAC 33.1-15-06-Emissions of Sulfur Compounds Restricted

This chapter applies to any installation in which fuel is burned in which the SO2 emissionsare substantially due to the sulfur content of the fuel burned and in which the fuel is burnedprimarily to produce heat. This chapter is not applicable to installations which are subjectto a SO2 emission limit under Chapter 33.1-15-12, Standards for Performance for NewStationary Sources, or installations which burn pipeline quality natural gas.

Expected Compliance

The facility is restricted to combusting only natural gas containing no more than 2 grainsof sulfur per 100 standard cubic feet; therefore, compliance with this chapter is expected.

E- Chapter 33.1-15-12 - Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources

There does not appear to be a federal New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) applicableto the facility. Although NSPS Subpart Y is applicable to coal preparation and processingplants, leonardite is not classified as coal and is therefore not subject to NSPS Subpart Y.

E- Chapter 33.1-15-14 - Designated Air Contaminant Sources. Permit to Construct.Minor Source Permit to Operate, Title V Permit to Operate

This chapter requires the facility to obtain a Permit to Construct prior to installation ofsources of air pollution. This chapter also applies to Permit to Operate requirements forfacilities that have sources of air pollution.

Expected Compliance

The company has submitted an application for a Permit to Construct and has met thoserequirements. The facility is classified as a minor source; accordingly, a minor sourcePermit to Operate must ultimately be obtained for the facility.

G- Chapter 33.1-15-15 - Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air Quality

A Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) review could potentially apply to thisfacility if it is classified as a "major stationary source" under Chapter 33.1-15-15.

Applicability and Expected Compliance Status

Potential criteria pollutant emissions are well below the 250 tons/year PSD major sourcethreshold applicable to the facility; therefore, the facility is not subject to PSD review.

H. Chapter 33.1-15-16 — Restriction of Odorous Air Contaminants

This chapter limits the odorous impact of emissions from the facility.

Applicability and Expected Compliance Status

Odors from the facility are not expected to be significant and are expected to comply withthe requirements of this chapter.

I- Chapter 33.1-15-17 - Restriction of Fugitive Emissions

This chapter establishes restrictions applicable to fugitive emissions.

Expected Compliance

The main source of fugitive emissions at the facility is expected to be the leonardite storagepile and the handling of leonardite prior to processing in the facility. Fugitive dust controlmeasures are incorporated into the permit and are expected to result in fugitive dustemissions in accordance with this chapter.

J- Chapter 33.1-15-22 - Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for SourceCategories

This chapter adopts several of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous AirPollutants for Source Categories (MACT) under 40 CFR Part 63.

Expected Compliance

The facility does not appear to be subject to any requirements under this chapter. OneMACT standard (40 CFR 63, Subpart CCCCCC) appears to apply to a 500-gallon gasolinetank used to fuel equipment and vehicles at the facility; however, this subpart has not beenadopted into Chapter 33.1-15-22 and is therefore not enforceable by the Department. Allrequired reports regarding this subpart should be submitted to EPA Region 8.

Conclusions and Recommendations:

ll is recommended that PTC19027 be issued for the proposed equipment at the LeonarditeProducts, LLC. A copy of the draft/proposed PTC19027 is attached.

The facility has been the subject of complaints in the past; given the potential for public concernlegarding the facility, it is recommended that a 30-day public comment period be held prior tomaking a final determination on issuance of the permit.

Criteria Pollutant Modeling Requirementsfor a Permit to Construct

DATE October 6, 2014

Projects Subject to PSD:

Under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air Quality (PSD) rules, dispersionmodeling for criteria pollutants is required prior to issuance of a Permit to Construct (PTC) if thepermit is for either a new facility classified as a "major stationary source" or a modification to anexisting major stationary source when the modification is classified as a "major modification"under the PSD rules (adopted into Chapter 33-15-15 of the North Dakota Air Pollution ControlRules). Modeling is required when emissions exceed the "PSD significant levels", which aredefined as follows (only the significant levels for criteria pollutants are shown):

Pollutant Emissions

Carbon Monoxide 100 tons/year

Nitrogen Oxides 40 tons/year

Sulfur Dioxide 40 tons/year

15 tons/year

0.6 tons/year

10 tons/year

* A source that emits 40 tons per year or more of sulfur dioxide and/or 40 tons peryear or more of nitrogen oxides is significant for PM2.5 (40 CFR 52.21(b)(23)(i)).

Projects Not Subject to PSD:

For those projects which are not subject to the PSD rules, as a general rule, modeling will berequired if the potential emissions from a new facility or the change in potential emissions froman existing facility exceed the following amounts:

PM2.5 25 tons/year 10 tons/year

Modeling of carbon monoxide and/or lead emissions will generally only be required for sourcesrequired to conduct modeling of carbon monoxide and/or lead emissions under the PSD rules.

Additional Information Tapplicable to both PSD and non-PSD Proiects'l:

Note that there are instances where modeling may be required at lower emissions than outlinedabove. These include cases when a facility will be located close to a Class I area or there arechanges to an existing facility whose current emission rates are causing concentrationsapproaching either the Ambient Air Quality Standards or the PSD increment levels.

With respect to nearby sources of emissions, the impact of emissions from sources wjthin 20kilometers ('- 12 miles) shall generally be included in the modeling analysis. The impact ofemissions from sources greater than 20 kilometers and less than 50 kilometers (-31 miles) shallgenerally be included if potential emissions from the source of the pollutant being modeledexceed 100 tons/year.

Modeling submitted with a PTC application for a PSD project must address compliance with theAmbient Air Quality Standards as well as the PSD increments. Modeling submitted with a PTCapplication for a project not subject to the PSD rules must address compliance with the AmbientAir Quality Standards.

Modeling of PSD Class I increments will be required for PSD projects located within 250kilometers of the nearest North Dakota Class I area, and for non-PSD projects (meeting potentialemissions criteria above) located within 50 kilometers of the nearest Class I area. If the subjectsource significantly impacts a Class I area, a cumulative analysis including other increment-consuming sources must be conducted. The cumulative analysis must include all major sources,located within 250 kilometers and minor sources located within 50 km of the Class I area. Theinventory will be provided by the Department. If an analysis is required for Class I incrementconsumption, a Class II increment consumption analysis shall also be submitted.
