1.0 INTRODUCTION 

1.1 OVERVIEW 

Barrick Goldstrike Mines Inc. (Barrick) performed mercury (Hg) emissions testing on the 

Roaster Mill Circuit and associated support systems (Systems 15A and 16A) at the Barrick 

facility in Carlin, Eureka County, Nevada in support of the Nevada Department of 

Environmental Protection (NDEP), Nevada Mercury Control Program (NMCP). 

TRC Companies, Inc. (TRC) was retained by Barrick to provide sampling and analytical support 

for the NMCP. TRC supported and managed the test program from the Las Vegas, Nevada 

office. TRC prepared and received approval for the test protocol to satisfy the testing 

requirements for the Mercury Emissions Evaluation Test Program required by NDEP. The 

purpose of the testing for the Roaster and associated support systems was to test Systems 15A 

and 16A – Roaster Mill Circuit – Mills 1 and 2 Air Preheater and Dry Grinding Process 

Baghouse stacks under steady-state conditions, to determine Hg emissions. 

Sampling and analysis procedures described in this document were conducted using procedures 

deemed acceptable by the NDEP and the United States Environmental Protection Agency 

(USEPA). TRC was responsible for the collection and analysis of all flue gas samples. 

1.2 SCOPE OF WORK 

The compliance program consisted of a series of three 2-hour test runs at the outlet of each 

location utilizing EPA Test Method 29. Testing was conducted while the units were operating 

under steady-state conditions. The concentrations of oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), Hg, 

velocity and moisture were determined for each test run at each outlet location. 

Triplicate test runs were conducted for all parameters. The following presents a summary of the 

test parameters, test methods and run times.

3.0 PROCESS DESCRIPTION 

3.1 INTRODUCTION 

Barrick Goldstrike Mines Inc. operates a gold producing mine on property located in Eureka 

County, Nevada. There are processing plants located on the property which separate the gold 

from the recovered ore. Part of this mining process utilizes Systems 15A and 16A. 

3.2 SAMPLING LOCATIONS 

System 15A is equipped with one exhaust stack. Emissions from the Roaster Mill Circuit, Mill 

#1 Pre-heater and Dry Grinding process will each be controlled by two (2) quad-chamber 

product recovery baghouses (DC-204.1 and DC-204.2) and one pick-up baghouse (DC-205). 

System 16A is also equipped with one exhaust stack. Emissions from the Roaster Mill Circuit, 

Mill #2 Pre-heater and Dry Grinding process will each be controlled by two (2) quad-chamber 

product recovery baghouses (DC-206.1 and DC-206.2) and one pick-up baghouse (DC-207). 

The procedures specified by EPA Method 1, "Sample and Velocity Traverses for Stationary 

Sources", were followed to determine the number and location of traverse points to be used for 

the stratification testing and velocity traverses. The number of straight run stack diameters 

(equivalent diameters) upstream and downstream from the sample ports was used to determine 

the minimum number of traverse points required. 

Additional detail for each system including diameters upstream and downstream, internal 

diameters of each exhaust stream, and sampling point locations and distances are included in 

Appendix A. 
L2007-529 6

4.0 SAMPLING PROCEDURES 

4.1 OVERVIEW 

This section describes the procedures that TRC followed during the field sampling program. 

Throughout the program TRC followed EPA Methods 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix A sampling 

procedures for mercury emissions sampling. 

. 

The remainder of this section is divided into several subsections: Field Program Description; 

Pre-sampling Activities; and Onsite Sampling Activities. 

4.2 FIELD PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

L2007-529 7

4.3 PRESAMPLING ACTIVITIES 

Presampling activities included equipment calibration, precleaning of the sample train glassware, 

and other miscellaneous tasks. Each of these activities are described or referenced in the 

following subsections. Other presampling activities included team meetings, equipment packing, 

and finalization of all details leading up to the coordinated initiation of the sampling program. 

4.3.1 Equipment Calibration 

TRC follows an orderly program of positive actions to prevent the failure of equipment or 

instruments during use. This preventative maintenance and careful calibration helps to ensure 

accurate measurements from field and laboratory instruments. 

Once the equipment had gone through the cleaning and repair process it was then calibrated. All 

equipment that was scheduled for field use was cleaned and checked prior to calibration. Once 

the equipment had been calibrated, it was packed and stored to ensure the integrity of the 

equipment. 

Inspection and calibration of the equipment is a crucial step in ensuring the successful 

completion of the field effort. All equipment was inspected for proper operation and durability 

prior to calibration. Calibration of the following equipment was conducted in accordance with 

the procedures outlined in EPA documents entitled "Quality Assurance Handbook for Air 

Pollution Measurement Systems; Volume III - Stationary Source Specific Methods" (EPA-600/4-

77-027b) and 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix A. All calibrations were performed prior to the test 

program. 

• Probe Nozzles (QA Handbook, Vol III, Section 3.4.2, pp. 19) - averaged three 

internal diameter measurements of the nozzle; difference between high and low 

0.1 mm. Recalibrate, reshape and sharpen when nozzle becomes nicked, dented 

or corroded. 

• Pitot tubes (QA Handbook Vol III, Section 3.1.2, pp. 1-13) - measured for 

appropriate spacing and dimensions or calibrated in a wind tunnel. Rejection 

criteria is given on the calibration sheet. A post-test check inspected for damage. 
L2007-529 8

• Thermocouples (QA Handbook, Vol III, Section 3.4.2, pp. 12-18) – verified 

 against a mercury-in-glass thermometer at three points including the anticipated 

 measurement range. Acceptance limits - impinger + 2oF; DGM + 5.4oF; stack +

1.5 percent of stack temperature. 

• Dry gas meters (EPA 40 CFR Part 60, Method 5, Section 5.3) - calibrated against 

 a wet test meter. Acceptance criteria - pretest Yi = Y = + 0.02; post test Y = + 

 0.05 Yi. 

• Orifice meter calibrated against a wet test meter. Acceptance criteria is ∆H@i = 

+ 0.2 from the average value. 

• Field barometer (QA Handbook, Vol III, Section 3.4.2, pp. 18-19) – compared 

 against a mercury-in-glass barometer or use Airport Station BP and correct for 

 elevation. Acceptance criteria -  0.02 in. Hg; post-test check will be the same. 

• Analytical balances (QA Handbook, Vol III, Section 3.4.2, pp. 19) – Acceptance 

 criteria - calibrate with Standard Class-S weights within  0.5 mg of stated value. 

 Corrective action: Have manufacturer recalibrate or adjust. 

4.3.2 Glassware Preparation 

Sample train glassware required specialized precleaning to avoid contamination of the sample 

from the collection container or devices. The sample train glassware necessary for the EPA 

Method 29 sampling trains was precleaned using an Alconox® soap and water wash. Deionized 

water was used for rinsing followed by air-drying. The glassware was then soaked in nitric acid 

bath (10% nitric acid) followed again by a deionized water rinse followed by air-drying. The 

glassware was then sealed with Parafilm®. 

4.3.3 Sample Media Preparation 

All reagents were checked in accordance with the TRC’s existing QC Program to minimize the 

probability of using contaminated solvents. This included the use of spectro-grade solvents from 

the same lot and the collection and analysis of the appropriate blanks. 

4.4 ONSITE SAMPLING ACTIVITIES 
L2007-529 9

Onsite sampling activities included the emissions testing of the previously mentioned outlet 

stacks and collection of operational data. 

4.4.1 EPA Methods 1 and 2 for Velocity Measurements and Cyclonic Flow 

Velocity traverses were conducted on the outlet stacks with an S-type pitot assembly in 

accordance with EPA Reference Methods 1 and 2. An S-type pitot tube with an attached 

inclined manometer was used to measure the exhaust velocities from the sampling location. An 

attached Type-K thermocouple with remote digital display was used to determine the flue gas 

temperature. During the test program, velocity measurements were conducted during each 

particulate matter and/or mercury sampling test run. The required number of velocity 

measurements points for each sampling location was determined following EPA Method 1. 

Cyclonic flow checks were conducted at the sampling locations in accordance with Section 2.4 

of EPA Method 1. This procedure is referred to as the nulling technique. An S-type pitot tube 

connected to an inclined manometer was used in this method. The pitot tube was positioned at 

each traverse point so that the face openings of the pitot tube were perpendicular to the stack 

cross-sectional plane. This position is called the "0° reference". The velocity pressure (ΔP) 

measurement was noted. If the ΔP reading was zero, the cyclonic angle was recorded as 0°. If 

the ΔP reading was not zero, the pitot tube was rotated clockwise or counter clockwise until the 

ΔP reading became zero. This angle was then measured with a leveled protractor and reported to 

the nearest degree. After this null technique was applied at each traverse point, the average of 

the cyclonic angles was calculated. If this average was less than 20°, the flow condition was 

acceptable to test. 

4.4.2 EPA Method 3A for O2 and CO2 Measurements 

Oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations were determined for each test run according to EPA 

Reference Method 3A, "Determination of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Concentrations in 

Emissions from Stationary Sources (Instrumental Analyzer Procedure)". An integrated sample 

was collected in a Tedlar® bag, during each test run. The sample gas was drawn through a 

stainless steel probe and through Teflon® sampling line followed by a glass condenser unit to 
L2007-529 10

remove excess moisture which would interfere with the operation of the pump and flow meter. 

Sampling was conducted from a single point positioned at the point of average velocity. 

Approximately 20 liters of sample gas were collected during each test run. 

Analysis was conducted using a Fyrite gas analyzer. A sample from the Tedlar® bag was drawn 

into the analyzer and immediately analyzed for percent CO2 and percent O2. 

4.4.3 EPA Method 4 for Moisture Determination 

Moisture was determined for each test run according to EPA Reference Method 4, 

"Determination of Moisture Content in Stack Gases". The principle of this method is to remove 

the moisture from the sample stream and determine moisture either volumetrically or 

gravimetrically. Sampling was conducted in conjunction with the mercury emissions sampling 

test runs. 

4.4.4 EPA Method 29 for Mercury 

Mercury (Hg) was also determined via EPA Method 29 “Metals Emissions from Stationary 

Sources”. 

The sampling train utilized the EPA Method 29 sampling configuration and consisted of a quartz 

button-hook nozzle, quartz lined heated probe, and heated filter housing. A thermocouple and Stype pitot tube were attached to the probe for the measurement of gas temperature and velocity. 

The sample gases passed through the probe and filter assembly and were connected to an 

impinger train. The impinger train consisted of a series of six-ice bath cooled impingers, kept 

below 68°F to enable condensation of entrained moisture and the gaseous mercury species. The 

first and second impingers each contained 100 mL of a 5% HNO3/10% H2O2 solution. The third 

impinger was empty to separate the two chemical solutions. The fourth and fifth impingers each 

contained 100 mL of a 4% KMnO4/10% H2SO4 solution. The sixth impinger contained between 

200 and 400 grams of silica gel. All filled impingers were weighed prior to placing the 

impingers in the train. The impingers were followed by a leak free pump, dry gas meter, and 
L2007-529 11

calibrated orifice meter. The second and fourth impingers were the modified Greenburg design. 

The first, third, fifth and sixth impingers were standard Greenburg Smith impingers. No silicone 

grease was used in the train. 

TRC conducted three EPA Method 29 test runs on each source, with each test run having 

duration of 120 minutes. Sampling was isokinetic (±10%) with all stacks and train operating 

parameters recorded at each sampling point. 

Leak checks of the entire EPA Method 29 sampling train were performed before and after each 

sampling run. All leak checks and leakage rates were documented on the relevant field test data 

sheets. The acceptance criterion was a post run leak rate of ≤ 0.02 cfm at the highest vacuum 

obtained during the test run. The pre run leak check criterion was ≤ 0.02 cfm at 15 in Hg. 

Following the completion of each test run, the EPA Method 29 train was transported to a 

recovery area onsite. The sample recovery sequence was as follows: 

• All openings on the probe, inlet to cyclone/or filter holder and impingers were sealed with 

Teflon® tape. 

• The sampling train was removed to the recovery area. 

• The condition of the train was noted (i.e., filter, impinger contents color, silica gel color, 

etc.). 

• Container No. 1 - Disassembled the filter housing and transferred the filter to its original 

glass petri dish. Sealed the petri dish with Teflon® tape and labeled it with the appropriate 

sample information. Any filter fibers adhering to the support gasket were transferred to the 

petri dish. 

• Container No. 2 - The front half of the train, nozzle, probe, and front-half filter housing, 

cyclone and flask were brush-rinsed with 100 mL of 0.1N nitric acid into an amber glass 

container with a Teflon®-lined cap. The container was sealed and labeled. 

• Container No. 3 - The contents of the two 5% HNO3/10% H2O2 impingers were weighed. 

The filter support, backhalf of the filter holder and connecting glassware were rinsed three 

times with 100 mL of 0.1N HNO3 into a glass amber container with a Teflon® lined cap. 

The impingers and connecting glassware were rinsed with 0.1N HNO3. The container was 

sealed and labeled. 
L2007-529 12

• Container No. 4 - The contents of the third impinger were weighed and transferred to a glass 

amber container with a Teflon®-lined cap. The impinger and U-tubes were rinsed three 

times with a 100 mL portion of 0.1N nitric acid into a sample container. The container was 

sealed and labeled. 

• Container No. 5 (Impingers 4 and 5, H2SO4/KMnO4 Impinger Contents and Rinses) - Dried 

the exterior surfaces of Impingers 4 and 5, then weighed and recorded the weight of each 

impinger (to the nearest 0.5 g). Poured all of the liquid from the two H2SO4-KMnO4

impingers into a glass sample, Container 5. Rinsed the impingers and connecting glassware 

three times with a total of 100 mL of fresh H2SO4/KMnO4 solution and poured into 

Container 5. Similarly, rinsed the impingers and connecting glassware three times with 100 

mL of DI water. Added these rinses to Container 5. The container was sealed and labeled. 

• Container No. 6 - Rinsed the contents of impingers 4 and 5 and connecting glassware with 

25 mL of 8N HCl and transferred the rinsate into Container 6 filled with 200 mL of DI 

water. The container was sealed and labeled. 

• The silica gel impinger was weighed to obtain a final weight. 

• All containers were checked to ensure proper sealing, proper labeling, and that all liquid 

levels were marked. All samples were logged onto a chain-of-custody record. 

The EPA Method 29 train produced the following samples: 

• Container No. 1 - Filter 

• Container No. 2 - Front-Half 0.1N HNO3 Rinse 

• Container No. 3 - Impingers 1 and 2 - 5% HNO3/10% H2O2 Impingers Catch & Rinse 

• Container No. 4 - Impinger 3 - Impinger Catch & Rinse 

• Container No. 5 - Impingers 4 and 5 - H2SO4/KMnO4 Impingers Catch & Rinse 

• Container No. 6 - Impingers 4 and 5 - 8N HCl Rinse 

4.5 PROCESS MONITORING 

Barrick Goldstrike Mines Inc. personnel collected representative samples of the material fed 

through the Roaster Mill Circuit – Dry Grinding Process during the test period. This sample was 

subsequently analyzed for mercury, and the results included in the final report. Barrick 

personnel also monitored and recorded process data during each test run. The data was averaged 

over each test run period and provided to TRC for inclusion into the Final Report. Facility 

Process Data is contained in Appendix C.

than 10a, this is an indication of water droplets in the gas stream. ( If 10 < 10a - 

use 10 %M in calculation, If 10 > 10a - use 10a %M in calculation)

6.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE 

6.1 OVERVIEW 

TRC management is fully committed to an effective Quality Assurance/Quality Control Program 

whose objective is the delivery of a quality product. For much of TRC's work, that product is 

data resulting from field measurements, sampling and analysis activities, engineering 

assessments, and the analysis of gathered data for planning purposes. The Quality Assurance 

Program works to provide complete, precise, accurate, representative data in a timely manner for 

each project, considering both the project's needs and budget constraints. 

This section highlights the specific QA/QC procedures followed on this Test Program. 

6.2 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL SUMMARY 

 

6.2.1 Calibration Procedures 

Calibration of the field sampling equipment was performed prior to the field sampling effort. 

Copies of the calibration sheets were submitted to the field team leader to take onsite and for the 

project file. Calibrations were performed as described in the EPA publications "Quality 

Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems; Volume III - Stationary Source 

Specific Methods" (EPA-600/4-77-027b) and EPA 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix A. Equipment 

calibrated included the sample metering system, thermocouples, and pitot tubes. All calibrations 

were available for review at the test program. Copies of the equipment calibration forms can be 

found in Appendix E. 

6.2.2 Equipment Leak Checks 

Prior to sampling, each Method 29 sampling train was leak checked according to the procedures 

outlined in EPA Reference Method 5. During the course of a test run, a leak check was 

conducted before and after every test, or if replacement of a component became necessary. Final 

leak checks were performed to ensure that no leaks developed in the train during the course of 

the test run. All leakage rates, if any found, were recorded on the appropriate field data sheet. 
L2007-529 18

6.2.3 Cyclonic Flow Check 

The absence of cyclonic flow within the sampling location was verified prior to sampling in 

accordance with Section 2.4 of EPA Method 1. 

6.3 DATA REDUCTION, VALIDATION, AND REPORTING 

Specific QC measures were used to ensure the generation of reliable data from sampling 

activities. Proper collection and organization of accurate information followed by clear and 

concise reporting of the data is a primary goal in all projects. 

6.3.1 Field Data Reduction 

Standardized forms were used to record field sampling data. The data collected was reviewed in 

the field by the Field Team Leader and at least one other field crew member. Errors or 

discrepancies were noted in the field book. 

6.3.2 Data Validation 

TRC supervisory and QC personnel use validation methods and criteria appropriate to the type of 

data and the purpose of the measurement. Records of all data have been maintained, including 

that judged to be an "outlying" or spurious value. The persons who validated the data have 

sufficient knowledge of the technical work to identify questionable values. 

Field sampling data were validated by the Field Team Leader and/or the QC Coordinator based 

on their review of the adherence to an approved sampling protocol and written sample collection 

procedure. 

The following criteria were used to evaluate the field sampling data: 

● Use of approved test procedures; 

● Proper operation of the process being tested; 
L2007-529 19

● Use of properly operating and calibrated equipment; 

● Leak checks conducted before and after tests; 

● Proper chain-of-custody maintained. 

The criteria listed below were used to evaluate the analytical data: 

● Use of approved analytical procedures; 

● Use of properly operating and calibrated instrumentation; 

● Acceptable results from analyses of QC samples (i.e., the reported values should 

fall within the 95 percent confidence interval for these samples). 

6.3.3 Data Reporting 

All data has been reported in standard units depending on the measurement and the ultimate use 

of the data. The bulk of the data was computer processed and reported as follows: 

• Exhaust Gas Stream 

- Gas Properties: 

a. Moisture, dscf and percent by volume 

b. Flow rate, dscfm and acfm 

c. Pressure, mm of Hg 

d. Temperature, °F 

- Gas Diluents and Pollutants 

a. O2, percent 

b. CO2, percent 

c. Mercury, lbs/hr

3.0 PROCESS DESCRIPTION 

3.1 INTRODUCTION 

Barrick Goldstrike Mines Inc. operates a gold producing mine on property located in Eureka 

County, Nevada. There are processing plants located on the property which separate the gold 

from the recovered ore. Part of this mining process utilizes Systems 15 and 16. 

3.2 SAMPLING LOCATIONS 

System 15 is equipped with one exhaust stack. Emissions from the Roaster Mill Circuit, Mill #1 

Pre-heater and Dry Grinding process will each be controlled by two (2) quad-chamber product 

recovery baghouses (DC-204.1 and DC-204.2) and one pick-up baghouse (DC-205). 

System 16 is also equipped with one exhaust stack. Emissions from the Roaster Mill Circuit, 

Mill #2 Pre-heater and Dry Grinding process will each be controlled by two (2) quad-chamber 

product recovery baghouses (DC-206.1 and DC-206.2) and one pick-up baghouse (DC-207). 

The procedures specified by EPA Method 1, "Sample and Velocity Traverses for Stationary 

Sources", will be followed to determine the number and location of traverse points to be used for 

the stratification testing and velocity traverses. The number of straight run stack diameters 

(equivalent diameters) upstream and downstream from the sample ports will be used to 

determine the minimum number of traverse points required. 

Additional detail will be provided for each system in the Final Report, including diameters 

upstream and downstream, internal diameters of each exhaust stream, sampling point locations 

and distances, and photographs of sampling locations. 
L2007-256 5

L2007-256 6 

4.3 PRESAMPLING ACTIVITIES 

Presampling activities include equipment calibration, precleaning of the sample train glassware, 

and other miscellaneous tasks. Each of these activities are described or referenced in the 

following subsections. Other presampling activities include team meetings, equipment packing, 

and finalization of all details leading up to the coordinated initiation of the sampling program. 

4.3.1 Equipment Calibration 

TRC follows an orderly program of positive actions to prevent the failure of equipment or 

instruments during use. This preventative maintenance and careful calibration helps to ensure 

accurate measurements from field and laboratory instruments. 

Once the equipment has gone through the cleaning and repair process it is then calibrated. All 

equipment that is scheduled for field use is cleaned and checked prior to calibration. Once the 

equipment has been calibrated, it is packed and stored to ensure the integrity of the equipment. 

Inspection and calibration of the equipment is a crucial step in ensuring the successful 

completion of the field effort. All equipment will be inspected for proper operation and 

durability prior to calibration. Calibration of the following equipment will be conducted in 

accordance with the procedures outlined in EPA documents entitled "Quality Assurance 

Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems; Volume III - Stationary Source Specific 

Methods" (EPA-600/4-77-027b) and 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix A. All calibrations will be 

performed prior to the test program. 

• Probe Nozzles (QA Handbook, Vol III, Section 3.4.2, pp. 19) - average three 

internal diameter measurements of the nozzle; difference between high and low 

0.1 mm. Recalibrate, reshape and sharpen when nozzle becomes nicked, dented 

or corroded. 

• Pitot tubes (QA Handbook Vol III, Section 3.1.2, pp. 1-13) - measured for 

appropriate spacing and dimensions or calibrated in a wind tunnel. Rejection 

criteria is given on the calibration sheet. A post-test check will inspect for 

damage. 
L2007-256 7 

• Thermocouples (QA Handbook, Vol III, Section 3.4.2, pp. 12-18) – verified 

 against a mercury-in-glass thermometer at three points including the anticipated 

 measurement range. Acceptance limits - impinger + 2oF; DGM + 5.4oF; stack +

1.5 percent of stack temperature. 

• Dry gas meters (EPA 40 CFR Part 60, Method 5, Section 5.3) - calibrated against 

 a wet test meter. Acceptance criteria - pretest Yi = Y = + 0.02; post test Y = + 

 0.05 Yi. 

• Orifice meter calibrated against a wet test meter. Acceptance criteria is ∆H@i = 

+ 0.2 from the average value. 

• Field barometer (QA Handbook, Vol III, Section 3.4.2, pp. 18-19) – compared 

 against a mercury-in-glass barometer or use Airport Station BP and correct for 

 elevation. Acceptance criteria -  0.02 in. Hg; post-test check will be the same. 

• Analytical balances (QA Handbook, Vol III, Section 3.4.2, pp. 19) – Acceptance 

 criteria - calibrate with Standard Class-S weights within  0.5 mg of stated value. 

 Corrective action: Have manufacturer recalibrate or adjust. 

4.3.2 Glassware Preparation 

Sample train glassware will require specialized precleaning to avoid contamination of the sample 

from the collection container or devices. The sample train glassware necessary for the ASTM 

D6784 sampling train will be precleaned using an Alconox® soap and water wash. Deionized 

water will be used for rinsing followed by air-drying. The glassware will then be soaked in nitric 

acid bath (10% nitric acid) followed again by a deionized water rinse followed by air-drying. 

The glassware will be then sealed with Parafilm®. 

4.3.3 Sample Media Preparation 

All reagents will be checked in accordance with the TRC’s existing QC Program to minimize the 

probability of using contaminated solvents. This includes the use of spectro-grade acids and 

solvents from the same lot and the collection and analysis of the appropriate blanks. All filters 

will be desiccated and weighed to the nearest 0.5 mg constant weight. 
L2007-256 8 

4.4 ONSITE SAMPLING ACTIVITIES 

Onsite sampling activities will include the emissions testing of the previously mentioned outlet 

stacks and collection of operational data. 

4.4.1 EPA Methods 1 and 2 for Velocity Measurements and Cyclonic Flow 

Velocity traverses will be conducted on the outlet stack with an S-type pitot assembly in 

accordance with EPA Reference Methods 1 and 2. An S-type pitot tube with an attached 

inclined manometer will be used to measure the exhaust velocities from the sampling location. 

An attached Type-K thermocouple with remote digital display will be used to determine the flue 

gas temperature. During the test program, velocity measurements will be conducted during each 

EPA Methods 5/202 sampling test run. The required number of velocity measurements points 

for each sampling location will be determined following EPA Method 1. 

Cyclonic flow checks will be conducted at the sampling location in accordance with Section 2.4 

of EPA Method 1. This procedure is referred to as the nulling technique. An S-type pitot tube 

connected to an inclined manometer will be used in this method. The pitot tube will be 

positioned at each traverse point so that the face openings of the pitot tube are perpendicular to 

the stack cross-sectional plane. This position is called the "0° reference". The velocity pressure 

(ΔP) measurement is noted. If the ΔP reading is zero, the cyclonic angle is recorded as 0°. If the 

ΔP reading is not zero, the pitot tube is rotated clockwise or counter clockwise until the ΔP 

reading becomes zero. This angle is then measured with a leveled protractor and reported to the 

nearest degree. After this null technique is applied at each traverse point, the average of the 

cyclonic angles is calculated. If this average is less than 20°, the flow condition is acceptable to 

test. 

4.4.2 EPA Method 3 or 3A for Molecular Weight Determination 

TRC will conduct monitoring and analysis for oxygen (EPA Methods 3/3A) and carbon dioxide 

(EPA Methods 3/3A) by utilizing a Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) or 
L2007-256 9 

ORSAT analyzer for these measurements. 

4.4.3 EPA Method 4 for Moisture Determination 

Moisture will be determined for each test run according to EPA Reference Method 4, 

"Determination of Moisture Content in Stack Gases". The principle of this method is to remove 

the moisture from the sample stream and determine moisture either volumetrically or 

gravimetrically. Sampling will be conducted in conjunction with EPA Method 101A, EPA 

Method 29, or ASTM D6784 sampling test runs. 

4.4.4 ASTM D6784 Ontario Hydro Method for Mercury Emissions 

Speciated mercury (Hg) will be determined via ASTM D6784 “Test Method for Elemental, 

Oxidized, Particle Bound, and Total Mercury Emissions in the Flue Gas Generated from Coal 

Fired Stationary Sources (Ontario Hydro Method)”. 

The sampling train will utilize the EPA Method 29 sampling configuration and consist of a 

quartz button-hook nozzle, quartz lined heated probe, and heated filter housing. A thermocouple 

and S-type pitot tube will be attached to the probe for the measurement of gas temperature and 

velocity. 

The sample gas will pass through the probe and filter assembly and will be connected to an 

impinger train. The impinger train will consist of a series of eight-ice bath cooled impingers, 

kept below 68°F to enable condensation of entrained moisture and the gaseous mercury species. 

The first, second and third impingers will each contain 100 mL of a 1N KCl solution. The fourth 

impinger will contain 100 mL of a 5% HNO3/10% H2O2 solution. The fifth, sixth, and seventh 

impingers each will contain 100 mL of a 4% KMnO4/10% H2SO4 solution. The eighth impinger 

will contain 200 - 400 grams of silica gel. All filled impingers will be weighed prior to placing 

the impingers in the train. The impingers will be followed by a leak free pump, dry gas meter, 

and calibrated orifice meter. 

The first, second, fourth, sixth, and eighth impingers will be the modified Greenburg design. 
L2007-256 10 

The third, fifth and seventh impingers will be standard Greenburg Smith impingers. No silicone 

grease will be used in the train. 

TRC will conduct three ASTM D6784 test runs on each source, with each test run having 

duration of 120 minutes. Sampling will be isokinetic (±10%) and all stack and train operating 

parameters will be recorded at each sampling point. 

Leak checks of the entire Ontario Hydro sampling train will be performed before and after each 

sampling run. All leak checks and leakage rates will be documented on the relevant field test 

data sheets. The acceptance criterion will be a post run leak rate of ≤ 0.02 cfm at the highest 

vacuum obtained during the test run. The pre run leak check criterion will be ≤ 0.02 cfm at 15 in 

Hg. 

Following the completion of each test run, the Ontario Hydro train will be transported to a 

recovery area onsite. The sample recovery sequence will be as follows: 

• All openings on the probe, inlet to cyclone/or filter holder and impingers will be sealed with 

Teflon® tape. 

• The sampling train will be removed to the recovery area. 

• The condition of the train will be noted (i.e., filter, impinger contents color, silica gel color, 

etc.). 

• Container No. 1 - Disassemble the filter housing and transfer the filter to its original glass 

petri dish. Seal the petri dish with Teflon® tape and label it with the appropriate sample 

information. Any filter fibers adhering to the support gasket will be transferred to the petri 

dish. 

• Container No. 2 - The front half of the train, nozzle, probe, and front-half filter housing, 

cyclone and flask will be brush-rinsed with 100 mL of 0.1N nitric acid into an amber glass 

container with a Teflon®-lined cap. The container will be sealed and labeled. 

• Container No. 3 - The contents of the three KCl impingers will be weighed. The filter 

support, backhalf of the filter holder and connecting glassware will be rinsed with 0.1N 

HNO3 into a glass amber container with a Teflon® lined cap. The 5% KMNO4 solution will 

be added to each impinger until a purple color remains. The solutions will then be poured 

into the container. The impingers and connecting glassware will be rinsed with 10% HNO3. 

Although unlikely, if deposits remain on the impinger surfaces, they will be removed by 
L2007-256 11 

doing another 10% HNO3 rinse that has a very small amount (several drops) of 10% 

hydroxylamine sulfate solution added to each of the KCl impingers. These rinses will be 

added to Container 3. If the solution in Container 3 becomes clear, a small amount of the 5% 

KMnO4 solution will be added until a pink or slightly purple color is obtained. Check again 

after 90 minutes to ensure that the purple color remains. Perform a final rinse of the 

impingers and connecting glassware with 0.1N HNO3 and add this rinse to Container 3. The 

container will be sealed and labeled. 

• Container No. 4 - The contents of the fourth 5% HNO3/10% H2O2 impinger will be weighed 

and transferred to a glass amber container with a Teflon®-lined cap. The impinger and Utubes will be rinsed twice with three 25 mL portions of 0.1N nitric acid into a sample 

container. The container will be sealed and labeled. 

• Container No. 5 (Impingers 5 through 7, H2SO4/KMnO4 Impinger Contents and Rinses) - 

Dry the exterior surfaces of Impingers 5, 6, and 7, then weigh and record the weight of each 

impinger (to the nearest 0.5 g). Pour all of the liquid from the three H2SO4-KMnO4

impingers into a glass sample, Container 5. Rinse the impingers and connecting glassware 

with a 0.1N HNO3. If deposits remain on the impinger surfaces, after the two rinses, remove 

them by doing a third rinse with 0.1N HNO3 and several drops hydroxylamine sulfate. On a 

drop-by-drop basis add more hydroxylamine sulfate until the deposits are removed. Add 

these rinses to Container 5. If the solution in Container 5 becomes clear, add small amounts 

of H2SO4-KMnO4 solution until a pink or slightly purple color is obtained. Perform a final 

0.1N HNO3 rinse of the impingers and connecting glassware followed by a water rinse. The 

0.1N HNO3 rinse is added to Container 5, and the water rinse will be discarded. The 

container will be sealed and labeled. 

• The silica gel impinger will be weighed to obtain a final weight. 

• All containers will be checked to ensure proper sealing, proper labeling, and that all liquid 

levels are marked. All samples will be logged onto a chain-of-custody record. 

The Ontario Hydro train will produce the following samples: 

• Container No. 1 - Filter 

• Container No. 2 - Front-Half 0.1N HNO3 Rinse 

• Container No. 3 - Impingers 1, 2 & 3 - KCl Impingers Catch & Rinse 

• Container No. 4 - Impinger 4 - 5% HNO3/10% H2O2 Impinger Catch & Rinse 

• Container No. 5 - Impingers 5, 6, & 7 - H2SO4/KMnO4 Impingers Catch & Rinse 

4.4.5 Process Sampling and Monitoring 

Barrick Goldstrike Mines Inc. personnel will collect representative samples of the material fed 

through the Roaster Mill Circuit – Dry Grinding Process during the test period. This sample will 
L2007-256 12 

be subsequently analyzed for mercury, and the results included in the final report. Barrick 

personnel will also monitor and record process data during each test run. The data will be 

included in the final report.

5.0 ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES AND CALCULATIONS 

This section delineates the analytical procedures and calculations that will be used by TRC 

during the Test Program. 

5.1 ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES 

At the conclusion of the field effort, TRC will package the mercury emission samples and 

provide delivery to the analytical laboratory. TRC will utilize Maxxam Analytical Inc. 

(Maxxam) located in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada as the laboratory for this program.

6.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE 

6.1 OVERVIEW 

TRC management is fully committed to an effective Quality Assurance/Quality Control Program 

whose objective is the delivery of a quality product. For much of TRC's work, that product is 

data resulting from field measurements, sampling and analysis activities, engineering 

assessments, and the analysis of gathered data for planning purposes. The Quality Assurance 

Program works to provide complete, precise, accurate, representative data in a timely manner for 

each project, considering both the project's needs and budget constraints. 

This section highlights the specific QA/QC procedures to be followed on this Test Program. 

6.2 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL SUMMARY 

 

6.2.1 Calibration Procedures 

Calibration of the field sampling equipment will be performed prior to the field sampling effort. 

Copies of the calibration sheets will be submitted to the field team leader to take onsite and for 

the project file. Calibrations will be performed as described in the EPA publications "Quality 

Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems; Volume III - Stationary Source 

Specific Methods" (EPA-600/4-77-027b) and EPA 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix A. Equipment to 

be calibrated includes the sample metering system, thermocouples, and pitot tubes. All 

calibrations will be available for review at the test program. Copies of the equipment calibration 

forms can be found in Appendix B. 

6.2.2 Equipment Leak Checks 

Prior to sampling, each Ontario Hydro sampling train will be leak checked according to the 

procedures outlined in EPA Reference Method 5. During the course of a test run, a leak check 

will be conducted before and after every test, or if replacement of a component becomes 

necessary. Final leak checks will be performed to ensure that no leaks developed in the train 

during the course of the test run. All leakage rates, if any found, will be recorded on the 
L2007-256 18 

appropriate field data sheet. 

6.2.3 Cyclonic Flow Check 

The absence of cyclonic flow within the sampling location will be verified prior to sampling in 

accordance with Section 2.4 of EPA Method 1. 

6.3 DATA REDUCTION, VALIDATION, AND REPORTING 

Specific QC measures will be used to ensure the generation of reliable data from sampling 

activities. Proper collection and organization of accurate information followed by clear and 

concise reporting of the data is a primary goal in all projects. 

6.3.1 Field Data Reduction 

Appendix D of this Test Plan presents the standardized forms that will be used to record field 

sampling data. The data collected will be reviewed in the field by the Field Team Leader and at 

least one other field crew member. Errors or discrepancies will be noted in the field book. 

6.3.2 Data Validation 

TRC supervisory and QC personnel will use validation methods and criteria appropriate to the 

type of data and the purpose of the measurement. Records of all data will be maintained, 

including that judged to be an "outlying" or spurious value. The persons validating the data will 

have sufficient knowledge of the technical work to identify questionable values. 

Field sampling data will be validated by the Field Team Leader and/or the QC Coordinator based 

on their review of the adherence to an approved sampling protocol and written sample collection 

procedure. 

The following criteria will be used to evaluate the field sampling data: 
L2007-256 19 

● Use of approved test procedures; 

● Proper operation of the process being tested; 

● Use of properly operating and calibrated equipment; 

● Leak checks conducted before and after tests; 

● Proper chain-of-custody maintained. 

The criteria listed below will be used to evaluate the analytical data: 

● Use of approved analytical procedures; 

● Use of properly operating and calibrated instrumentation; 

● Acceptable results from analyses of QC samples (i.e., the reported values should 

fall within the 95 percent confidence interval for these samples). 

6.3.3 Data Reporting 

All data will be reported in standard units depending on the measurement and the ultimate use of 

the data. The bulk of the data will be computer processed and reported as follows: 

• Exhaust Gas Stream 

- Gas Properties: 

a. Moisture, dscf and percent by volume 

b. Flow rate, dscfm and acfm 

c. Pressure, mm of Hg 

d. Temperature, °F 

- Gas Diluents and Pollutants 

a. O2, percent 

b. CO2, percent 

c. Mercury, lbs/hr 

6.4 EXCEPTIONS 

Any deviations from this test plan will be approved by the NDEP or EPA on-site observer if 

present, and documented in the final report.
