# MACT Task Force

M E M O R A N D U M

Date: December 1 2 , 2012

To: Jeff Telander, EPA/SSPD

From: Irene Kuo and Susan Miller, Brick Industry Association

Subject: Review of EPA BSCP MACT Floor Ranking Database (Version dated 3/15/2010)

The purpose of t his memorandum is to present specific changes and/or updates to the EPA BSCP MACT Floor
Ranking Database

. Since the March 15, 2010 update to the database, several changes have occurred in the industry including acquisitions, closures, and new test data. Additionally, while EPA incorporated several of the
comments previously provided by t he Brick Industry Association ’s (BIA ’s ) MACT Task Force regarding test data viability ( B IA. “P reliminary review of test reports, ” June 5, 2009), the use of test data obtai ned in less than three full
runs and data obtained below minimum detection limits were not addressed in the March 2010 update. We revisit this data in summary form in this memo.

Acquisitions and Closures

Two acquisitions have occurred that should be addre ssed in the database:

1. Acme Brick Co. purchased Jenkins Brick & Tile Co. LLC on January 31, 2011 , and

2. Belden Brick purchased Lawrenceville Brick Co. on July 18, 2011.

Kilns that should be removed from the BSCP MACT Floor Ranking Database (version dated 3

- 15

- 2010) due to plant closure and/or demolition are presented in Table 1. Confirmation of these closures has been made through facility
phone calls, real estate searches, EPA database searches, and general knowledge within the industry. Further

documentati on can be provided if necessary.

# Data Update

Updated information regard ing facility status, control technology, and emission factors is highlighted in red in Table
2. Please note that any acknowledgement of synthetic minor sources in this review in no way indicates that we believe they belong in the floor analysis. We conti nue to assert that synthetic minor sources are not included in the
source category and cannot be used to establish a MACT floor for existing sources.

In most cases, the emission factors are updated to include the results of the recent ICR Phase I and Pha se II testing.
We have excluded data, however, that was collected at below minimum detection limits. The BIA believes that the use of “non detect” values in setting a standard pose a significant enforceability issue as they pose the problem of

accuracy, standardization, and consistent test methodology. EPA must ensure that the approach for use of “non detects” is consistent across all tests. Lacking protocol, it is suggested that this data be excluded from the floor
analysis.

There are a few cases where we have found minor calculation errors. Further documentation can be provided if

necessary.

The BIA and the MACT Task Force look forward to continuing our work with you on this important project.
