Short tons I believe.  2000 lbs per ton.  If that is a short ton, that's what

those estimates are.

Are the estimates you sent metric tons or short tons?

Keith:

A few corrections for Armstrong Cement:

1.  The facility is an area source of HAPs.

2.  The 2 kilns exhaust to a common stack.

3.  The clinker capacity is estimated at 411,720 tons/year (both kilns) (based on

an estimated maximum hourly production of 23.5 tons/hr for each kiln).

First I want to thank the cement industry personnel that have helped me correct

the 2005 cement industry inventory over the last few months.

I have attached to this email a file listing kilns and facilities EPA will be

using in future regulatory analyses of the Portland Cement NESHAP.   This item is

also being entered into the docket for this rulemaking.  Note that this listing

represents the inventory during the year 2005, not a current inventory because

2005 was the starting year for our analysis.

The items presented are:

Facility Name

Location

Area or Major Source for Hazardous Air Pollutants Number of kilns (NHW means the

kilns does not fire any hazardous waste, HW kilns fire at least some hazardous

waste)

(See attached file: Kiln Major and Area Source Status 08_20_09.pdf)

I have also attached below an excel spread sheet which shows similar information

but includes kiln types.

(See attached file: 2005 Inventory of Facilities.xls)

If you note any errors in the attachments please let me know.

We are aware of the following changes since 2005:
