Identification of BART-Eligible Sources in the Stat e of

Kansas

### Appendix 9.1 Identification of BART-Eligible Source s in the State of Kansas

To identify the sources that met the criteria above , Kansas performed a multi-step search and analysis, beginning with a database query of th e permitted air sources in its point source emissions inventory database. The database contained a total of 336 operating facilities coded as class A (controlled emissions > 100 tons/yr), A1 (actual emissions <100 tons/yr, potential emissions >100 tons/yr), or A2 (actual/potential emissions greater than major source threshold).

The first BART screening was done by querying the K ansas point source inventory database based on the following criteria:

• The facility is operating

• The facility is coded as being class A, A1, or A2

• The facility is in one of the Standard Industrial C lassification (SIC) codes or has processes within one of the source classification c odes (SCCs) in Table 9.1 below

### A combination of SCCs and SIC codes were used to id entify facilities within most of the listed BART-eligible source categories. For a few o f the BART categories, however, facilities were identified using SCCs only. These i ncluded chemical process plants, lime plants, sintering plants, fossil fuel-fired boilers , and petroleum storage and transfer facilities.

The next step was to eliminate sources from the fos sil fuel-fired boilers category with less than a 250 MMBtu/hr heat input rate. Conservative MMBtu/hr values were assigned to the boilers based on their SCCs as follows:

• A value of 10 MMBtu/hr was assigned to a boiler if its SCC indicated a heat input rate of <10 MMBtu/hr,

• A value of 100 MMBtu/hr was assigned if its SCC ind icated a heat input rate from 10–100 MMBtu/hr,

• A value of 250 MMBtu/hr was assigned if its SCC ind icated a heat input rate of >100 MMBtu/hr, and

• A value of 250 MMBtu/hr was assigned if its SCC did not provide information about the boiler’s heat input values.

The assigned boiler values were summed for each of the facilities. Facilities with aggregated boiler capacity of less than 250 MMBtu/h r were then eliminated.

### For the 97 facilities on the list, year 2000 actual emissions at the emission unit level were

obtained from the point source database. This infor mation was then combined with 1999 Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) ammonia emissions da ta at the facility level. This information was used in the final step.

At this point, the petroleum storage and transfer f acilities with storage capacity <300,000 barrels were eliminated, along with any facilities where the potential to emit and operation/reconstruction date criteria were not met . In order to proceed further and eliminate additional sources, a survey of the facil ities was needed.

In September 2002, surveys were mailed to the 97 fa cilities that met the Regional Haze Rule’s source category criteria under a request for information about the air emission units at their facilities. The facilities were req uested to submit potential to emit data for NO x 

### , SO 2 

### , PM 10 

### , VOCs, and ammonia (NH 3 

### ) for each identified emission unit. The survey consisted of 4 steps:

1. Evaluate dates 2. Verify BART category 3. Enter potential emissions (tons/yr) 4. Provide boiler and tank information, if applicable

An example BART-eligible survey form is shown in Fi gure A9.1.

All facilities returned survey forms, which were th en analyzed to determine BART eligibility in accordance with the 2005 final rule. This analysis indicated there were 19 facilities in Kansas with BART-eligible units. The 19 facilities, along with their BARTeligible units, are listed in Table A9.2.

Subsequent to EPA’s release of the 2005 Regional Ha ze Rule and the modeling guidance contained therein, further information regarding th e maximum 24-hour actual emissions was requested for each BART-eligible unit. The 24- hour actual emissions data received were then used to model peak 24-hour averages for e valuating visibility.
