2Predicted maximum concentrations (impact

plus background) at Top-of-the-World (located

within the nonattainment area) area are 20.4 μg/m3

for the 24-hour average and 17.3 μg/m3 for the

annual average.

meet the requirements of 40 CFR 93.159.

The emissions scenario used in the air

quality analysis is expected to produce

the greatest off-site impacts on a daily

and annual basis. (A detailed

description of the emission sources and

detailed emissions inventory tables are

included in the report.)

• The local PM10 emissions modeling

methodology is appropriate for

determining whether emissions from the

project will cause or contribute to any

new violation of the PM10 National

Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS)

and meet the requirements of 40 CFR

93.159. (A detailed description of the

local PM10 emissions modeling

methodology is included in the report.)

• The results of the modeling analysis

using the EPA-approved ISCST3

dispersion model (Version 95200) with

the dry deposition algorithm predict

maximum 24-hour ambient

concentrations (impact plus

background) at the process area

boundary to be 110.8 μg/m3. This is

below the 24-hour PM10 NAAQS of 150

μg/m3. (A detailed description of the

modeling analysis results and the

printouts of the model input and output

files are included in the report.)

• The results of the modeling analysis

predict the maximum average annual

ambient concentration at the process

area boundary to be 36.9 μg/m3. This is

below the annual PM10 NAAQS

STANDARD OF 50 μg/m3. 2

• The action does not cause or

contribute to any new violation of any

standard in any area (40 CFR

93.158(b)(2)(i)).

• The action does not increase the

frequency or severity of any existing

violation of any standard in any area (40

CFR 93.158(b)(2)(ii)).

• The action does not violate any

requirements or milestones in the SIP

(no requirements or milestones are

applicable to the project) (40 CFR

93.158(c)).

The Tonto NF has also determined

that the planned PM10 controls for the

project are equivalent to Best Available

Control Technology (BACT) for sources

of PM10 emissions associated with openpit mining operations.

Based on these determinations, the

activities at the Carlota Copper Project

is presumed to conform to the

applicable conformity requirements for

the project area. The list of activities at

the Carlota Copper Project that are

presumed to conform include:

Process Non-process

Primary crusher system ..................................................................................................... Topsoil removal.

Conveyor systems ............................................................................................................. Topsoil unloading to stockpiles.

Secondary crusher system ................................................................................................ Blast hole drilling.

Boiler .................................................................................................................................. Blasting.

Back-up generator ............................................................................................................. Loading/unloading of ore and mine rock.

Hauling or ore and mine rock.

Combustion emissions from mobile equipment.

Travel of mine equipment other than haul trucks.

Haul road maintenance.

This presumption of conformity is

based on adequate activity limits,

emission limits, emission controls, and

monitoring requirements that have been

included in the AQCP No. 071437P0–99

for the Carlota Copper Project issued by

ADEQ. The presumption of conformity

assumes that the requirements in the

permit will be adequately enforced by

ADEQ. The Tonto NF lists the following

permit requirements (contained in the

Attachment B to the permit) as being

critical to the presumption of

conformity of the Carlota Copper

Project:

• Maximum speed limit of 35 mph for

all vehicles and an average speed for the

heavy-duty haul trucks of 15 mph.

(Condition II.D.1)

• Unpaved roadway treatment with

magnesium chloride, calcium chloride,

or other chemical dust suppressants

with equivalent or better control

efficiency in sufficient quantity and

frequency to maintain a ground

inventory of 0.25 gallons per square

yard. (Condition II.E.2)

• Water sprays installed, operated,

and maintained continuously during the

times of operation of the primary

crusher. (Condition II.E.2)

• Water sprays installed, operated,

and maintained continuously (except as

provided by the excess emission rule,

A.A.C. R18–2–306 and 310) during the

times of operation of the conveyor

systems, transfer points, process

equipment, and storage piles at the

stacker discharge points. (Condition

II.E.3)

• Baghouse installed and operated on

the secondary crusher and associated

vibrating screen. (Condition II.G.1)

• A weight rate of mined rock (waste

rock and ore combined) shall not exceed

125,000 tons per 24-hour calendar day

and 29 million tons per year. (Condition

III.A)

• Burn only diesel no. 2 fuel with a

sulfur content of less than 0.05 percent

in the SX/EW tankhouse boiler and

backup generator and the leach pad

backup generator. (Condition II, Boiler

and Generator Emissions, C.1)

• An ambient PM10 monitor installed,

near the boundary of the mining activity

in the general direction of the

Superstition Wilderness, operated on an

every-sixth-day schedule, and

maintained in accordance with

applicable manufacturer’s instructions,

EPA handbooks, and federal

requirements (Condition IV.A).
