(Green Plains) in providing grain required to operate an adjacent fuelgrade ethanol production plant in Fairmont, Minnesota. Cargill and Green Plains are considered one source for Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD), Part 70 and Part 63 NESHAPs; therefore they must consider the combined emissions from both facilities when determining regulatory applicability. Green Plains has a maximum design capacity of 122.9 million gallons of undenatured ethanol or 125.85 million gallons of denatured ethanol on an annual basis. Cargill is authorized to receive up to 43,703,704 bushels of grain per year. The facility has a 1,333,678 bushel storage capacity. Grain receiving and handling operations generate PM/PM10/PM2.5 emissions which are controlled by fabric filters. An enclosed conveying system transports the grain from the silos to the ethanol facility for processing and is controlled by baghouses. The Cargill grain elevator and Green Plains facility will jointly have controlled emissions less than 250 tons per year for each criteria pollutant. Therefore, the combined facility of Cargill and Green Plains is a minor source with respect to New Source Review. 1.3 Description of the activities allowed by this permit action This permit action is a first time Part 70 Permit Issuance which incorporates a Major Amendment. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has a combined operating and construction permitting program under Minnesota Rules Chapter 7007, and under Minn. R. 7007.0800. Under that authority, this permit action authorizes construction as described in Section 1.6. 1.4 Description of notifications and applications included in this action

1.6 Changes to permit The permit authorizes specific modifications as listed below. The MPCA has a combined operating and construction permitting program under Minnesota Rules Chapter 7007, and under Minn. R. 7007.0800, the MPCA has authority to include additional requirements in a permit. Under that authority, the following changes to the permit are also made through this permit action:  

Process Throughput limit of 1223704 ton/year was changed to 1.223600 million ton/year to reflect the information submitted in the facility PTE calculations. 

Baghouse limits were changed from gr/dscf to lb/hr.  

Performance testing requirements were added to insure baghouse control efficiency and lb/hr limits are met. 

Short term process throughput limits were added at STRU 1, 2, 3 for performance testing. 

New Emissions units for uncaptured emissions from grain receiving and shipping were added to the permit. 

Hood Certification requirement added to ensure 80% capture of emission from grain receiving and shipping. 

Permit requirement to submit modeling information was added to the permit. Past permit modifications at the combined source changed limits and increased production without demonstrating that the changes did not negatively impact the dispersion characteristics previously

modeled as required by the existing permit. The modeling information will be used to address modeling requirements in the combined Part 70 permit. 

Groups 1 and 2 were removed from the permit and requirements were moved to each individual Stack or Control. 

Fugitive Sources FUGI1‐5 were removed from the permit as they do not qualify as Fugitive.   

This permit action includes a major amendment for the following:  TREA 2. Baghouse #2, which controls grain receiving and handling operations, is permanently removed from the facility.  TREA 4. Baghouse #4 On August 30, 2015, Cargill replaced TREA 2 with a new baghouse TREA 4 and, on August 31, 2015, commenced its operation. The bag house controls emissions from grain receiving and handling operations previously controlled by TREA 2.  

EQUI 6. The short reclaim drag conveyor is permanently removed from the facility.  EQUI 14. The existing truck receiving drag conveyor is permanently removed from the facility.  EQUI 24. The existing flat storage conveyor is permanently removed from the facility.  EQUI 26. This permit authorizes construction and operation of a new conveyor to take the place of EQUI 14.  EQUI 27. This permit authorizes construction and operation of a new conveyor to take the place of EQUI 24.  No change in emission limits are requested and no change to stack locations will occur as a result of the equipment changes.   

2. Regulatory and/or statutory basis  

2.1  New source review (NSR) The permit carries forward limits on the combined facility (Cargill and Green Plains) such that it remains a minor source under New Source Review regulations.   This permit contains limits on corn throughput at Cargill that restrict annual emissions for the combined facility of Particulate Matter (PM), Particulate Matter less than 10 um in size (PM 10), Particulate Matter less than 2.5 um in size (PM 2.5), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) to less than 250 tons per year. VOCs are measured, and compliance is determined, as total VOCs by mass. The Green Plains and the Cargill grain Elevator are considered one source for PSD purposes and must consider the emissions from the two facilities when determining regulatory applicability.   The changes authorized by this permit do not authorize emission increases thus PSD does not apply.  

2.2  Part 70 permit program The combined facility is a major source under the Part 70 permit program. This is a first time Part 70 permit issuance for Cargill.

3. Technical information  

3.1 Calculations of potential to emit (PTE) and Emissions increase analysis The proposed changes to the facility do not result in emissions increases.  Attachment 1 to this TSD contains Form GI‐07, which summarizes the PTE of the Facility, and detailed spreadsheets and supporting information prepared by the MPCA and the Permittee.  

3.2 Dispersion modeling  History: The facility was subject to Environmental Review for its modification in 2006. As a result of that review, the facility was required to conduct PM10 dispersion modeling and an Air Emission Risk Analysis (AERA). The modeling demonstrated that predicted ambient concentrations for the project complied with the PSD increment threshold of 30 micrograms/cubic meter (ug/m3). However, some of the predicted impacts exceeded 25 ug/m3. The following assumptions were relied upon in the modeling:

1. Removal of emergency generator and decommissioning of Grain Dryer 

2. Limits on PM/PM10 from emissions venting to STRU 2, 3, 4  

3. Limits on water flowrate to cooling towers at Green Plains LLC. 

Remodeling triggers were included in the permit for any future changes to the permit that increased 

emissions. 

 

Modeling conducted in 2008: An air dispersion modeling analysis was completed to incorporate an 

Alternate Operating Scenario (AOS) for Cargill to ship grain out when Green Plains is not operating. As 

currently permitted this AOS is not enforceable. The requirements will remain in the permit as a 

placeholder, but the AOS may not be used until a single permit for the Source is obtained. The following 

assumptions were relied upon in modeling and have been included as permit conditions: 

1. 280 Trucks per day summer, 250 in winter. 2. There is no fence completely surrounding the facility to prohibit the public from getting on site.  

Indicate what measures are being taken to restrict public access from the site.  Railroad tracks are not considered a physical barrier.   

3. Modeling was done for hours of operation of 0600‐2100. 4. Green Plains was unable to achieve 1 SIL of future growth so any future changes will need to be 

modeled. 

 

Permit 09100061‐004:  The modeling conducted in 2006 and updated in 2008 does not reflect current 

operations at the combined facility. To address this issue the permit will contain requirements limiting 

modifications or changes to the facility that would impact modeling results. A requirement has been 

added to the permit to submit updated modeling information. This information will be used for the 

remodeling for Green Plains and Cargill combined. 

 3.3 Monitoring 

In accordance with the Clean Air Act, it is the responsibility of the owner or operator of a facility to have sufficient knowledge of the facility to certify that the facility is in compliance with all applicable requirements.  For CAM, the Permittee shall submit a CAM proposal as required by 40 CFR § 64.3 with the Reissuance application. CAM applicability can be found in Attachment 3 to this TSD. Further discussion of decisions about CAM can be found in Table 6.

 In evaluating the monitoring included in the permit, the MPCA considered the following: 

the likelihood of the facility violating the applicable requirements; 

whether add‐on controls are necessary to meet the emission limits; 

the variability of emissions over time;

 3.4 Insignificant activities 

Cargill has several operations which are classified as insignificant activities under the MPCA’s permitting rules. These are listed in Appendix A to the permit.   The permit is required to include periodic monitoring for all emissions units, including insignificant activities, per EPA guidance. The insignificant activities at this Facility are only subject to general applicable requirements. Using the criteria outlined earlier in this TSD, the following table documents the justification why no additional periodic monitoring is necessary for the current insignificant activities.   Table 8. Insignificant activities

Insignificant activity General applicable emission limit  Discussion 

Fuel Use: space heaters fueled by kerosene, natural gas, or propane, less than 420,000 Btu/hr 

PM <= 0.6 or 0.4 lb/MMBtu, depending on year constructed Opacity <= 20% with exceptions (Minn. R. 7011.0510/0515) 

Based on the fuels used and EPA published emissions 

factors, it is highly unlikely that the facility could 

violate the applicable requirement. In addition, these 

types of units are typically operated and vented inside 

a building, so testing for PM or opacity is not feasible. 

Gasoline storage tanks with a combined total tankage capacity of not more than 10,000 gallons 

Check to see if Minn. R. 7011.1505, subp. 2(B)/1505, subp. 3(B) apply, if not  PM, variable depending on airflow Opacity <= 20% (Minn. R. 7011.0710/0715) 

Emissions from tanks are unlikely to violate the 

applicable requirement. 

Brazing, soldering or welding equipment 

PM, variable depending on airflow Opacity <= 20% (Minn. R. 7011.0710/0715) 

For these units, based on EPA published emissions 

factors, it is highly unlikely that they could violate the 

applicable requirement. In addition, these units are 

typically operated and vented inside a building, so 

testing for PM or opacity is not feasible. 

Blueprint copiers and photographic processes 

Opacity <= 20%  (Minn. R. 7011.0105 or 7011.0110) 

While no known emissions estimation method exists for these units, based on general knowledge of how they operate, it is highly unlikely that they could generate visible emissions. In addition, these units would be operated and vented directly into an office area, so monitoring or testing is not feasible.

Fugitive dust emissions from unpaved entrance roads and parking lots 

Requirement to take reasonable measures to prevent PM from becoming airborne (Minn. R. 7011.0150) 

The Facility is located in a Rural area and has one 

unpaved parking and few private roads. Nearly all 

surfaces are currently paved. The permit does contain 

a general requirement that this standard must be met. 

The Permittee has stated that no additional unpaved 

surfaces will be added in the future. 

Infrequent use of spray paint equipment for routine housekeeping or plant upkeep activities not associated with primary production processes at the stationary source 

PM, variable depending on airflow Opacity <= 20% (Minn. R. 7011.0710/0715) 

While spray equipment will have the potential to emit particulate matter, these particular activities are those not associated with production, so they would be infrequent and usually occur outdoors. Testing or monitoring is not feasible.

 3.5 Permit organization 

In general, the permit meets the MPCA Tempo Guidance for ordering and grouping of requirements. One area where this permit deviates slightly from Tempo guidance is in the use of appendices. While appendices are fully enforceable parts of the permit, in general, any requirement that the MPCA thinks should be electronically tracked (e.g., limits, submittals, etc.), should be in the Requirements table in Tempo. The main reason is that the appendices are word processing sections and are not part of the electronic tracking system. Violation of the appendices can be enforced, but the computer system will not automatically generate the necessary enforcement notices or documents. Staff must generate these.
