1.2 Facility Description

The Permittee owns and operates a taconite mine and processing facility, known as Minntac, at County

Highway 102, on the Mesabi Range north of the City of Mountain Iron, St. Louis County, Minnesota.

Taconite is a rock bearing from 15 to 30 percent magnetic iron particles (magnetite).  The iron ore is

mined in an open pit, and reduced in size by a series of crushers until it has a powdery consistency.  Iron

oxide concentrate is separated magnetically, while the remaining portion of the mined ore (tailings) is

sent to a tailings disposal basin.  Limestone and/or dolomite (fluxstone) and bentonite (binder) are

added to the concentrate and the mixture is formed into round “green balls (pellets)” in a balling drum.  

The green balls are heat hardened in an indurating process (agglomerator or grate‐kiln) line, which

consists of a traveling grate, a rotary kiln, and a horizontal rotary hearth (commonly called annular

cooler).  Finished taconite pellets are stored for transport to blast iron furnaces.  While the main product

of the Minntac facility is fluxed pellets which are used in blast furnaces to make molten iron, other

products such as iron ore concentrate, blast furnace trim, and railroad ballast are made for special

customers.

Date: 6/5/2013

The Minntac facility was built in three successive stages or steps.  The first taconite pellets were

produced by the Step I facility in 1967.  When Step II (1972) and Step III (1978) were added, the facility’s

pellet‐making capacity was tripled.

1.3 Description of the Activities Allowed by this Permit Action

This Major Amendment permit action authorizes the replacement of the existing main kiln burners with

Low NOx Main Burners on the facility’s induration lines 4 and 5 (adding CE 181 and CE 182, which vent

through  SV118 and SV 127; respectively).This project will reduce NOx emissions from baseline emission

rates. Remaining pollutants will remain at previously calculated rates.  This amendment is processed as a

Major Amendment due to the requirements located at the Total Facility Level indicating such.  

This permit action also removes language from the Total Facility level identified as “F. Retroactive PSD

Permitting Requirements – Tasks, Reports and CEMS related to language requesting a Computational

Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling report and installation of LowNox Burners at the traveling grate preheat

zones of the Agglomerator Lines 3 ‐7. Minntac completed conditions related to CFD modeling as well as

installed the traveling grate preheat Low NOx burners in 2009.  

Requiring installation of control equipment to reduce NOx emissions was a component of the previous

Permit Action for this Facility (Permit Action 13700005‐005, issued 12/22/2008). Further discussion of

this and the previous permit action can be found in Section 3 of this TSD.

environmental and health hazards and equal access to the decision‐making process to have a healthy

environment in which to live, learn, and work.

As part of this permitting process, the MPCA contacts US E.P.A. Region 5 staff to verify if there are any

possible EJ issues for the facility location that need to be addressed in the permit action. For this project,

MCPA staff contacted EPA Region 5 staff who used the draft Environmental Justice Strategic

Enforcement Assessment Tool (EJSEAT) that identified the facility location did not potentially have EJ

concerns.

3. Technical Information

3.1  Calculations of Potential to Emit and Emissions Increase Analysis

Attachment 1 to this TSD contains PSD summary spreadsheets prepared by the Permittee and the

MPCA.

3.1.1 Baseline Actual Emissions:  

The Permittee used a baseline period from January 2006 – December 2007 for SO2, a baseline

period of January 2007 – December 2008 to determine baseline emissions for PM, PM10,

PM2.5, NOx, and Lead and a baseline emission period of January 2010 – December 2011 for CO,

VOC, and F. Emissions were determined by CEMS for NOx and by fuel usage and emission

factors for SO2, CO, PM, PM10, PM2.5, VOC, Fluorides, Lead, and greenhouse gases.

Projected Actual Emissions: Future actual emissions were calculated using supporting CEMS

information for NOx and by fuel usage and emission factors for SO2, CO, PM, PM10, PM2.5,

VOC, Fluorides, Lead, and greenhouse gases.

Emissions of PM10 and PM2.5 have decreased from baseline rates due to implementation of the

Taconite MACT (Taconite and Iron Ore Processing, 40 CFR Part 63 subpart RRRRR). This NESHAP

regulates PM as a surrogate for HAPs and does not directly regulate PM10 and PM2.5. As such,

permit conditions have been added to explicitly require use of control equipment for emission

units affected by this permit action because these emission characteristics were relied upon for

the calculations of this permit action. While the multi‐cyclones (CE 102 and CE 112) are listed in

the facility description as control equipment, the purpose of this equipment is to remove the

very large particles out of the process equipment in order to prevent damage to the preheat

fans. These units are not relied upon for control of PM10 or PM2.5.

3.1.2 Excludable Emissions: The excludable emissions calculations made under 40 CFR

52.21(b)(41(ii)(c)must account for post‐change emissions:

i. That the unit was capable of emitting prior to the proposed change, and

ii. That is unrelated to the proposed change (including increased utilization due to demand

growth).

The excludable emission calculations made by the Permittee addresses both points.
Technical Support Document, Permit Action Number: 13700005‐006

Page 6 of 10

Date: 6/5/2013

Note that the BAE 24‐month period must be the same for a specific pollutant for all emission

units (if there are multiple emissions units in the applicability analysis that emit that pollutant).  

However the BAE 24‐month period may differ for each PSD pollutant.  

3.2 Visibility Mitigation Strategies Implemented in Permit Action ‐005

During Permit Action ‐005, the MCPA chose to set forth NOx emission limits pursuant to the

requirements for addressing impact to federal Class I areas in PSD regulations, 40 CFR 52.21 (p).  This

resulted in an aggressive schedule of activities intended to achieve significant reductions in NOx

emission. The goal is to reduce the long‐term NOx emission limit by at least 70% from the initial limit at

Permit Issuance (13,300 ton/yr, in Permit: 13700005‐005). Because it was not known at that time

whether any of the available identified add‐on technologies would be acceptable under the criteria set

forth in the previous permit action, the permit did not establish a final NOx emission limit.   

To date, Minntac has fulfilled several of those activities, including: a CFD study of indurating NOx

formation and grate pre‐heat Low NOx burners, as well as pilot testing a NOx control technology.  Pilot

testing has occurred with Low NOx burners installed on Line 7 in May 2010 and Line 6 in April 2011.

These lines have certified CEMS installed and with the emissions data provided by the CEMS, the low

NOx main burners were able to be evaluated and optimized. Installation of Low NOx burners on Line 4

and Line 5 (EU 261 and EU 282, respectively) continues this plan for reduction of NOx emissions as laid

out in Permit Action ‐005.  

Permit conditions related to the visibility strategy remain within the permit with the exception of those

conditions which have been satisfied.  

The Permittee will install Low NOx burners on Lines 4 and 5 which will be considered the ‘full‐scale’

demonstration of the control technology as discussed in Permit Action ‐005. As the permit conditions

indicate, Minntac will submit an engineering analysis to summarize a number of operating parameters

and their outcomes. If determined to be successful, Minntac will submit a major amendment to propose

to install Low NOx burner on Line 3 (the final furnace located at the facility to not have Low NOx burner

control technology).  The remaining steps for this visibility mitigation strategy are located at the Total

Facility Level of this permit action.

3.3  New and Revised 1‐hour NAAQS

In 2010, the U. S .Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated the new National Ambient Air

Quality Standards (NAAQS) for sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) averaged over one hour.

The attainment dates (the date by which the state must be able to demonstrate compliance with the

applicable standard) are five years after EPA publishes Minnesota’s attainment designation in the

Federal Register.
Technical Support Document, Permit Action Number: 13700005‐006

Page 7 of 10

Date: 6/5/2013

3.3.1 1‐hour NAAQS for Sulfur Dioxide

In June 2010, the new one‐hour NAAQS for SO2 was set at 75 ppb. Minnesota has no monitored

violations of the standard. When EPA promulgates a new standard an infrastructure SIP is due within

three years; for SO2, this is June 2013. EPA initially indicated that all states, even those without

monitored violations, would need to demonstrate in the infrastructure SIP that sufficient emission limits

would be in place to model compliance with the SO2 standard. These emission limits were to be in place

by the attainment date – five years after promulgation of designations under the new standard. (See 75

FR 35573).

As indicated in a letter to the MPCA dated April 12, 2012, EPA acknowledged that it has not issued

implementation guidance for this standard. EPA indicated that stakeholders, including states, have

responded to EPA’s implementation proposal by identifying a number of concerns. EPA also indicated

that it no longer expects Minnesota’s infrastructure SIP submittal for the one‐hour SO2 NAAQS to

include modeling demonstrations showing attainment of the standard in unclassifiable areas.

Previously, the MPCA completed the following steps in the SO2 SIP process:

• In the spring of 2011, the MPCA identified key sources. MPCA staff requested modeling

parameters from 65 sources that met a certain emissions threshold or otherwise were

considered to potentially cause or contribute to a violation of the SO2 standard.

• During the summer of 2011, key sources submitted SO2 modeling parameters. All facilities

submitted modeling parameters by the end of July 2011.

• In fall 2011, the MPCA completed the initial round of baseline modeling of 75 sources and

identified sources that modeled an exceedance of the standard. The MPCA developed model

input files based on the modeling parameters received from the facilities or information

available in house.

After receiving the April 12, 2012 letter from EPA, the MPCA suspended these efforts.  

Minntac was modeled during the MPCA’s baseline modeling. This modeling showed that Minntac’s

emissions led to a predicted maximum ambient concentration that may exceed the one‐hour SO2

NAAQS. Minntac was also modeled for Polymet Mining, Inc.’s Northmet Project, a proposed neighboring

facility. Polymet’s modeling also predicted that Minntac’s emissions may contribute to a modeled

exceedance of the 1‐hour SO2 NAAQS.  

Since Minntac is not increasing its hourly SO2 emissions in this permitting action, the MPCA is not

requiring Minntac to conduct its own SO2 modeling demonstration prior to permit issuance. The draft

permit requires Minntac to submit a permit application, as applicable, to incorporate limits and other

conditions into an enforceable document, if such limits and/or conditions are necessary to achieve

compliance with the 1‐hour NAAQS for SO2by: the 1‐hour SO2 NAAQS attainment date established by

EPA; the Regional Haze State Implementation Plan Revision date which is currently, 2018; or as required

by any other applicable federal law, whichever is earliest.  

Minntac is one of a number of facilities which are currently involved in an overall modeling effort to

address their ambient impacts for Minnesota’s Regional Haze State Implementation Plan (“Regional

Haze SIP”). Each of those facilities must submit dispersion modeling to the MPCA. The initial modeling is

limited to the facility itself (plus an ambient background); this modeling must demonstrate compliance
Technical Support Document, Permit Action Number: 13700005‐006

Page 8 of 10

Date: 6/5/2013

with the SO2 NAAQS. The MPCA will combine the inputs from those submittals with those from other

SO2‐emitting facilities in the area, including the emissions from Minntac. If modeled exceedances

remain, the MPCA will work with the facilities in the area to reduce emissions so that the one‐hour SO2

NAAQS is protected.

3.3.2 1‐hour NAAQS for Nitrogen Dioxide

On February 9, 2010, EPA established the new one‐hour NAAQS for NO2 at an ambient concentration of

100 ppb. Monitoring data indicates that Minnesota meets the one‐hour standard. EPA has indicated that

they intend to designate Minnesota counties as attainment or as unclassifiable with the one‐hour NO2

standard.

Minntac was also modeled for Polymet Mining, Inc.’s Northmet Project, a proposed neighboring facility.

Polymet’s modeling also predicted that Minntac’s emissions may contribute to a modeled exceedance of

the 1‐hour NO2 NAAQS.  

Since Minntac is not increasing its hourly NO2 emissions in this permitting action, the MPCA is not

requiring Minntac to conduct its own NO2 modeling demonstration prior to permit issuance. The draft

permit required Minntac to submit a permit application, as applicable to incorporate limits and other

conditions into an enforceable document, if such limits and/or conditions are necessary to achieve

compliance with the 1‐hour NAAQS forNO2by: the 1‐hour NO2 NAAQS attainment date established by

EPA; the Regional Haze State Implementation Plan Revision date, which is currently 2018; or as required

by any other applicable federal law, whichever is earliest.  

3.4 Periodic 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.

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;

 The type of monitoring, process, maintenance, or control equipment data already available for

the emission unit;

 The technical and economic feasibility of possible periodic monitoring methods; and

 The kind of monitoring found on similar units elsewhere.

The table below documents the periodic monitoring requirements for control of particulate matter for

the wet scrubbers (CE 103 and CE 113).

3.5 Permit Organization

In general, the permit meets the MPCA Delta Guidance for ordering and grouping of requirements. One

area where this permit deviates slightly from Delta 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 Table A or B of the permit.

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.

This permit action has generated reserved numbering for CE 145‐180. This deviates from typical MPCA

practice.

4. Permit Fee Assessment

Attachment 3 to this TSD contains the MPCA’s assessment of Application and Additional Points used to

determine the permit application fee for this permit action as required by Minn. R. 7002.0019. The

permit action includes one permit application received after the effective date of the rule (July 1, 2009).  

5. Conclusion

Based on the information provided by Minntac, the MPCA has reasonable assurance that the proposed

operation of the emission facility, as described in the Air Emission Permit No. 13700005‐006 and this

TSD, as well as requirement to address potential NAAQS standards will not cause or contribute to a

violation of applicable federal regulations and Minnesota Rules.
