l\1elissa, 

Thanks for the e-mail. I reviewed the permit condition for the kiln and 

will need some additional information. Permit condition 33 says 

Stonepeak will. establish emission rates in lb/ton of tile produced. Can 

you please provide the weight of tile· in lb/square meter, or provide the 

total weight of tile processed per run? Also, for the report I will 

need the lime injection rate and the b~ghouse irilet temperature for each 

run. 

Thanks for your assistance.

·Jim~ 

I looked at the permit concerning EF calcs for kiln.· The factors are 

to be calculated based on the amount of cured time produced. I sent you 

the avg cured tile rate in sq m2 per hour during the test. Also, the 

total amount of cured tile produced during the test was 1096.2 sq meters 

over a period of 5 hours. · 

By individual hr -

8:00 to 9:00 - 185:2 sq meters 

9:00 to 10:00- 195.3 sq meters ·)41J~~v 10:00 to 11 :00 - 236.9 sq meters 

11:00 to 12:00- 239.4 sq meters 

12:00 to 1:00- 239.4 sq meters 

I thought you might need the hourly data as the test started at 8:45 

and was over about 1:15.
