RE: 	 Facility ID No. 027-00010, The Amalgamated Supr Company, LLC -- Nampa Factory. 


Final Tier II Operating Permit Letter 


Dear Mr. Quinney: 

The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is issuing Tier II Operating Permit No, T2-2009.0105 

to The Amalgamated Sugar Company, LLC (TASCO) -- Nampa Factory, required to ensure compliance 

with determined best available retrofit technologies (BART) for the Riley boiler. in accordance with 

IDAPA 58.01.01.400 through 406, Rules for the Control ofAir Pollution in Idaho (Rules). 

The enclosed Tier II operating permit is based on the information contained in the BART analyses and on 


the relevant comments received during the public comment period. This permit does not release TASCO 


from compliance with all other applicable federal. state. or local laws, regulations, pennits, or ordinances. 


Please note that this permit expires five years after the issuance date. 


This Tier II operating permit does not contravene any existing Tier I operating permit conditions. 


Therefore the process or equipment may be operated in accordance with the Tier II operating permit 


before the Tier I operating pennit is revised. 


Pursuant to IDAPA 58.01.23, you, as well as any other entity. may have the right to appeal this final 


agency action within 35 days ofthe date ofthis decision. However, prior to filing a petition for a 


contested case, I encourage you to contact Morrie Lewis at (208) 373-0502 or 


Morrie.Lewis@deq.idaho.gov to address any questions or concerns you may have with the enclosed 


permit.

3. RILEY BOILER BART 

3.1 Process Description 

The Riley Boiler is fired by pulverized coal and/or natural gas, and is used to supply steam and generate 

electricity for processing of sugar beets into sugar and byproducts, including animal feed at the Nampa 

facility. 

3.2 Emission Control Description 

The existing baghouse (Unit No. A-B3) manufactured by Envirotech Corp. is used for the control of 

particulate matter (PM) emissions from the Riley Boiler. 

A spray dry flue gas desulfurizatioll (FGD) system has been required for the control ofsulfur dioxide 

(S02) emissions from the Riley Boiler. In a spray dry FGD system, the flue gas is introduced into a tower 

and contacts an atomized spray of lime slurry, which absorbs and neutralizes the S02. 

A low NOx burner system (LNB) with over-fired air has been required for the control of nitrogen oxides 

(NOx) emissions from the Riley Boiler. Low NOx combustion with over-fired air lltiHzes fuel and air 

mixing optimization and staged combustion techniques to minimize thermaJ NOx formation. 

Compliance Dates 

3.3 BART 40 CFR 51.308, Subpart P - BART Installation and Operation Due Date 

The permittee shall install and operate BART or a DEQ·approved BART alternative on each source 

subject to BART as expeditiously as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) years after approval of 

the implementation plan, in accordance with lDAPA 58.01.01.668.04 and 40 CFR 51.308(e)(1)(iv). 

The permittee may submit a request to obtain a DEQ-approved BART alternative and to revise this permit 

in accordance with IDAPA 58.01.01.404.04. DEQ will process the request in accordance with 

IDAPA 58.01.01.404. The request must be submitted timely such that any revisions to this permit and the 

corresponding revision to the Regional Haze SIP are approved prior to the BART installation and 

operation due date (as defined in this permit condition). Pursuant to Section 11 0(k)(2) of the Clean Air 

Act, EPA has 12 months to act on a requested SIP revision. 

Emissions Limits
