PM: 773 tons per year 

PM10: 460 tons per year 

SO2: 401 tons per year 

NOx: 3,271 tons per year 

CO: 764 tons per year 

VOC: 41.5 tons per year 

Kiln 4/In-Line Raw Mill and Coal Mill Emission Limits (rolling 12-month total):

NOx: 3,240 tons per year 

CO: 698 tons per year 

SO2: 400 tons per year 

Kiln 4/In-Line Raw Mill and Coal Mill Emission Limits (rolling 8-hour average):

CO: 2.0 pounds per ton of clinker (lb/ton) 

Quarry Explosives Usage:

913 tons per year (rolling 12-month total), 70 tons per calendar day, and 10 tons per hour 

The Permit is issued in accordance with Title 49, Chapter 3 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. All definitions, 

terms, and conditions used in the Permit conform to those in the Arizona Administrative Code R18-2-101 et. 

seq. (A.A.C.) and 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), except as otherwise defined in the Permit. All terms 

and conditions in the Permit are enforceable by the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. 

Issuance of the Permit voids and supersedes all previously issued operating permits.

emissions offset plans shall be deemed to be incorporated into the Class I permit. 

3. The Director or the Administrator determines that the permit contains a material mistake or 

that inaccurate statements were made in establishing the emissions standards or other terms or 

conditions of the permit. 
Final PCC Permit No. 35426 Page 4 1/31/07

4. The Director or the Administrator determines that the permit needs to be revised or revoked to 

assure compliance with the applicable requirements. 

C. Proceedings to reopen and reissue a permit, including appeal of any final action relating to a permit 

reopening, shall follow the same procedures as apply to initial permit issuance and shall, except for 

reopenings under Condition III.B.1 above, affect only those parts of the permit for which cause to 

reopen exists. Such reopenings shall be made as expeditiously as practicable. Permit reopenings

XII. EXCESS EMISSIONS, PERMIT DEVIATIONS, AND EMERGENCY REPORTING 

A. Excess Emissions Reporting [A.A.C. R18-2-310.01.A and -310.01.B]

1. Excess emissions shall be reported as follows: 

a. The Permittee shall report to the Director any emissions in excess of the limits 

established by this permit. Such report shall be in two parts as specified below: 

(1) Notification by telephone or facsimile within 24 hours of the time when the 

Permittee first learned of the occurrence of excess emissions including all available 

information from Condition XII.A.1.b below. 

(2) Detailed written notification by submission of an excess emissions report within 72 

hours of the notification pursuant to Condition XII.A.1.a.(1) above. 

b. The report shall contain the following information: 

(1) Identity of each stack or other emission point where the excess emissions occurred; 

(2) Magnitude of the excess emissions expressed in the units of the applicable emission 

limitation and the operating data and calculations used in determining the magnitude 

of the excess emissions; 

(3) Date, time and duration, or expected duration, of the excess emissions; 

(4) Identity of the equipment from which the excess emissions emanated; 

(5) Nature and cause of such emissions; 

(6) If the excess emissions were the result of a malfunction, steps taken to remedy the 

malfunction and the steps taken or planned to prevent the recurrence of such 

malfunctions; and 

(7) Steps taken to limit the excess emissions; if the excess emissions resulted from startup or malfunction, the report shall contain a list of the steps taken to comply with the 

permit procedures. 

2. In the case of continuous or recurring excess emissions, the notification requirements of this 

section shall be satisfied if the source provides the required notification after excess emissions 

are first detected and includes in such notification an estimate of the time the excess emissions 

will continue. Excess emissions occurring after the estimated time period or changes in the 

nature of the emissions as originally reported shall require additional notification pursuant to 

Condition XII.A.1 above. [A.A.C. R18-2-310.01.C]

B. Permit Deviations Reporting [A.A.C. R18-2-306.A.5.b]

any corrective actions or preventive measures taken. Prompt reporting shall mean that the report 

was submitted to the Director by certified mail, facsimile, or hand delivery within two working 

days of the time when emission limitations were exceeded due to an emergency or within two 

working days of the time when the owner or operator first learned of the occurrence of a deviation 

from a permit requirement. 
Final PCC Permit No. 35426 Page 7 1/31/07

C. Emergency Provision [A.A.C. R18-2-306.E]

1. An “emergency” means any situation arising from sudden and reasonable unforeseeable 

events beyond the control of the source, including acts of God, that require immediate 

corrective action to restore normal operation, and that causes the source to exceed a 

technology-based emission limitation under the permit, due to unavoidable increases in 

emissions attributable to the emergency. An emergency shall not include noncompliance to 

the extent caused by improperly designed equipment, lack of preventative maintenance, 

careless or improper operation, or operator error. 

2. An emergency constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with 

such technology-based emission limitations if Condition XII.C.3 is met. 

3. The affirmative defense of emergency shall be demonstrated through properly signed, 

contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that: 

a. An emergency occurred and that the Permittee can identify the cause(s) of the 

emergency; 

b. The permitted facility was being properly operated at the time; 

c. During the period of the emergency, the Permittee took all reasonable steps to minimize 

levels of emissions that exceeded the emissions standards or other requirements in the 

permit; and 

d. The Permittee submitted notice of the emergency to the Director by certified mail, 

facsimile, or hand delivery within two working days of the time when emission 

limitations were exceeded due to the emergency. This notice shall contain a description 

of the emergency, any steps taken to mitigate emissions, and corrective action taken. 

4. In any enforcement proceeding, the Permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an 

emergency has the burden of proof. 

5. This provision is in addition to any emergency or upset provision contained in any applicable 

requirement. 

D. Compliance Schedule [ARS §49-426.I.5]

For any excess emission or permit deviation that cannot be corrected with 72 hours, the Permittee 

is required to submit a compliance schedule to the Director within 21 days of such occurrence. The 

compliance schedule shall include a schedule of remedial measures, including an enforceable 

sequence of actions with milestones, leading to compliance with the permit terms or conditions that 

have been violated. 

E. Affirmative Defenses for Excess Emissions Due to Malfunctions, Startup, and Shutdown 

[A.A.C. R18-2-310] 

1. Applicability 

This rule establishes affirmative defenses for certain emissions in excess of an emission 

standard or limitation and applies to all emission standards or limitations except for standards 

or limitations: 

a. Promulgated pursuant to Sections 111 or 112 of the Act; 

b. Promulgated pursuant to Titles IV or VI of the Clean Air Act; 

c. Contained in any Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) or New Source Review 

(NSR) permit issued by the U.S. EPA; 

d. Contained in A.A.C. R18-2-715.F; or 
Final PCC Permit No. 35426 Page 8 1/31/07

e. Included in a permit to meet the requirements of A.A.C. R18-2-406.A.5 

2. Affirmative Defense for Malfunctions 

Emissions in excess of an applicable emission limitation due to malfunction shall constitute a 

violation. When emissions in excess of an applicable emission limitation are due to a 

malfunction, the Permittee has an affirmative defense to a civil or administrative enforcement 

proceeding based on that violation, other than a judicial action seeking injunctive relief, if the 

Permittee has complied with the reporting requirements of A.A.C. R18-2-310.01 and has 

demonstrated all of the following: 

a. The excess emissions resulted from a sudden and unavoidable breakdown of process 

equipment or air pollution control equipment beyond the reasonable control of the 

Permittee; 

b. The air pollution control equipment, process equipment, or processes were at all times 

maintained and operated in a manner consistent with good practice for minimizing 

emissions; 

c. If repairs were required, the repairs were made in an expeditious fashion when the 

applicable emission limitations were being exceeded. Off-shift labor and overtime were 

utilized where practicable to ensure that the repairs were made as expeditiously as 

possible. If off-shift labor and overtime were not utilized, the Permittee satisfactorily 

demonstrated that the measures were impracticable; 

d. The amount and duration of the excess emissions (including any bypass operation) were 

minimized to the maximum extent practicable during periods of such emissions; 

e. All reasonable steps were taken to minimize the impact of the excess emissions on 

ambient air quality; 

f. The excess emissions were not part of a recurring pattern indicative of inadequate design, 

operation, or maintenance; 

g. During the period of excess emissions there were no exceedances of the relevant ambient 

air quality standards established in Title 18, Chapter 2, Article 2 of the Arizona 

Administrative Code that could be attributed to the emitting source; 

h. The excess emissions did not stem from any activity or event that could have been 

foreseen and avoided, or planned, and could not have been avoided by better operations 

and maintenance practices; 

i. All emissions monitoring systems were kept in operation if at all practicable; and 

j. The Permittee's actions in response to the excess emissions were documented by 

contemporaneous records. 

3. Affirmative Defense for Startup and Shutdown 

a. Except as provided in Condition XII.E.3.b below, and unless otherwise provided for in 

the applicable requirement, emissions in excess of an applicable emission limitation due 

to startup and shutdown shall constitute a violation. When emissions in excess of an 

applicable emission limitation are due to startup and shutdown, the Permittee has an 

affirmative defense to a civil or administrative enforcement proceeding based on that 

violation, other than a judicial action seeking injunctive relief, if the Permittee has 

complied with the reporting requirements of A.A.C. R18-2-310.01 and has demonstrated 

all of the following: 

(1) The excess emissions could not have been prevented through careful and prudent 

planning and design; 
Final PCC Permit No. 35426 Page 9 1/31/07

(2) If the excess emissions were the result of a bypass of control equipment, the bypass 

was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury, or severe damage to air 

pollution control equipment, production equipment, or other property; 

(3) The air pollution control equipment, process equipment, or processes were at all 

times maintained and operated in a manner consistent with good practice for 

minimizing emissions; 

(4) The amount and duration of the excess emissions (including any bypass operation) 

were minimized to the maximum extent practicable during periods of such 

emissions; 

(5) All reasonable steps were taken to minimize the impact of the excess emissions on 

ambient air quality; 

(6) During the period of excess emissions there were no exceedances of the relevant 

ambient air quality standards established in Title 18, Chapter 2, Article 2 of the 

Arizona Administrative Code that could be attributed to the emitting source; 

(7) All emissions monitoring systems were kept in operation if at all practicable; and 

(8) Contemporaneous records documented the Permittee’s actions in response to the 

excess emissions. 

b. If excess emissions occur due to a malfunction during routine startup and shutdown, then 

those instances shall be treated as other malfunctions subject to Condition XII.E.2 above. 

4. Affirmative Defense for Malfunctions during Scheduled Maintenance 

If excess emissions occur due to a malfunction during scheduled maintenance, then those 

instances will be treated as other malfunctions subject to Condition XII.E.2 above. 

5. Demonstration of Reasonable and Practicable Measures 

For an affirmative defense under Condition XII.E.2 or XII.E.3 above, the Permittee shall 

demonstrate, through submission of the data and information required by Condition XII.E and 

A.A.C. R18-2-310.01, that all reasonable and practicable measures within the Permittee’s 

control were implemented to prevent the occurrence of the excess emissions.

results of the three runs shall apply. In the event that a sample is accidentally lost or conditions 

occur in which one of the three runs is required to be discontinued because of forced shutdown, 

failure of an irreplaceable portion of the sample train, extreme meteorological conditions, or other 

circumstances beyond the Permittee’s control, compliance may, upon the Director’s approval, be 

determined using the arithmetic mean of the results of the other two runs. If the Director or the 

Director’s designee is present, tests may only be stopped with the Director’s or such designee’s 

approval. If the Director or the Director’s designee is not present, tests may only be stopped for 

good cause. Good cause includes: forced shutdown, failure of an irreplaceable portion of the 

sample train, extreme meteorological conditions, or other circumstances beyond the Permittee’s 

control. Termination of any test without good cause after the first run is commenced shall 

constitute a failure of the test. Supporting documentation, which demonstrates good cause, must be 

submitted. 

G. Report of Final Test Results 

A written report of the results of all performance tests shall be submitted to the Director within 30 

days after the test is performed. The report shall be submitted in accordance with the Arizona

safety and good air pollution control practices, nor does it require the Permittee to make any 

further efforts to reduce emissions if levels required by the applicable standard have been 

achieved. Determination of whether such operation and maintenance procedures are being 

used will be based on information available to the Director which may include, but is not 

limited to, monitoring results, review of operation and maintenance procedures (including the 

startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan required in Condition III.C.5 below), review of 

operation and maintenance records, and inspection of the source. 

[40 CFR 63.6(e)(1)(i) and A.A.C. R18-2-331.A.3.e] 

4. The Permittee shall correct malfunctions as soon as practicable after their occurrence in 

accordance with the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan required in Condition III.C.5 

below. To the extent that an unexpected event arises during a startup, shutdown, or 

malfunction, the Permittee shall comply by minimizing emissions during such a startup, 

shutdown, and malfunction event consistent with safety and good air pollution control 

practices. [40 CFR 63.6(e)(1)(ii)]

5. Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction Plan [40 CFR 63.6(e)(3)]

a. The Permittee shall have developed and continue to implement a written startup, 

shutdown, and malfunction plan that describes, in detail, procedures for operating and 

maintaining the source during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction, and a 

program of corrective action for malfunctioning process and air pollution control and 

monitoring equipment used to comply with this Section. The purpose of the startup, 

shutdown, and malfunction plan is to 

(1) Ensure that, at all times, the Permittee operates and maintains each affected source, 

including associated air pollution control and monitoring equipment, in a manner 

which satisfies the general duty to minimize emissions established by Condition 

III.C.2 above; 

(2) Ensure that the Permittee is prepared to correct malfunctions as soon as practicable 
Final PCC Permit No. 35426 Page 23 1/31/07

after their occurrence in order to minimize excess emissions of hazardous air 

pollutants; and 

(3) Reduce the reporting burden associated with periods of startup, shutdown, and 

malfunction (including corrective action taken to restore malfunctioning process and 

air pollution control equipment to its normal or usual manner of operation). 

b. During periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction, the Permittee of an affected source 

must operate and maintain such source (including associated air pollution control and 

monitoring equipment) in accordance with the procedures specified in the startup, 

shutdown, and malfunction plan developed under Condition III.C.5.a above. 

c. The Permittee shall maintain at the affected source a current startup, shutdown, and 

malfunction plan and shall make the plan available upon request for inspection and 

copying by the Director. In addition, if the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan is 

subsequently revised as provided in Condition III.C.5.d below, the Permittee shall 

maintain at the affected source each previous (i.e., superseded) version of the startup, 

shutdown, and malfunction plan, and shall make each such previous version available for 

inspection and copying by the Director for a period of 5 years after revision of the plan. 

The Director may at any time request in writing that the Permittee submit a copy of any 

startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan (or a portion thereof) which is maintained at the 

affected source or in the possession of the Permittee. Upon receipt of such a request, the 

Permittee must promptly submit a copy of the requested plan (or a portion thereof) to the 

Director. The Director shall request that the Permittee submit a particular startup, 

shutdown, or malfunction plan (or a portion thereof) whenever a member of the public 

submits a specific and reasonable request to examine or to receive a copy of that plan or 

portion of a plan. The Permittee may elect to submit the required copy of any startup, 

shutdown, and malfunction plan to the Director in an electronic format. If the Permittee 

claims that any portion of such a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan is confidential 

business information entitled to protection from disclosure under Section 114(c) of the 

Act or 40 CFR 2.301, the material which is claimed as confidential shall be clearly 

designated in the submission. 

d. Based on the results of a determination made under Condition III.C.3 above, the Director 

may require that the Permittee make changes to the startup, shutdown, and malfunction 

plan for that source. The Director shall require appropriate revisions to a startup, 

shutdown, and malfunction plan, if the Director finds that the plan: 

(1) Does not address a startup, shutdown, or malfunction event that has occurred; 

(2) Fails to provide for the operation of the source (including associated air pollution 

control and monitoring equipment) during a startup, shutdown, or malfunction event 

in a manner consistent with the general duty to minimize emissions established by 

Condition III.C.3 above; 

(3) Does not provide adequate procedures for correcting malfunctioning process and/or 

air pollution control and monitoring equipment as quickly as practicable; or 

(4) Includes an event that does not meet the definition of startup, shutdown, or 

malfunction listed in 40 CFR 63.2. 

e. The Permittee may periodically revise the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan for the 

affected source as necessary to satisfy the requirements of this Section or to reflect 

changes in equipment or procedures at the affected source. Unless the Director provides 

otherwise, the Permittee may make such revisions to the startup, shutdown, and 

malfunction plan without prior approval by the Director. However, each such revision to 

a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan shall be reported in the semiannual report 

required by Condition III.G.2.d below. If the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan 
Final PCC Permit No. 35426 Page 24 1/31/07

fails to address or inadequately addresses an event that meets the characteristics of a 

malfunction but was not included in the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan at the 

time the Permittee developed the plan, the Permittee shall revise the startup, shutdown, 

and malfunction plan within 45 days after the event to include detailed procedures for 

operating and maintaining the source during similar malfunction events and a program of 

corrective action for similar malfunctions of process or air pollution control and 

monitoring equipment. In the event that the Permittee makes any revision to the startup, 

shutdown, and malfunction plan which alters the scope of the activities at the source 

which are deemed to be a startup, shutdown, or malfunction, or otherwise modifies the 

applicability of any emission limit, work practice requirement, or other requirement in a 

standard established under this part, the revised plan shall not take effect until after the 

Permittee has provided a written notice describing the revision to the permitting 

authority. 

f. The Permittee shall operate and maintain the facility in accordance with the procedures 

specified in the current startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan. However, any revisions 

made to the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan in accordance with the procedures 

established by the Section shall not be deemed to constitute permit revisions. Moreover, 

none of the procedures specified by the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan for an 

affected source shall be deemed to fall within the permit shield provision in Section 

504(f) of the Act. 

D. Monitoring Requirements 

1. The Permittee shall monitor the opacity at each point where emissions are vented from Kiln 4/ 

In-Line Raw Mill and Coal Mill in accordance with the following conditions: 

a. The Permittee shall install, calibrate, maintain and continuously operate a continuous 

opacity monitor (COM) located at the following to continuously monitor the opacity.

(1) Downstream of the In-Line Raw Mill PM control device DC-431, and

The COM shall be installed, maintained, calibrated, and operated as required by Subpart 

A of 40 CFR Part 63 and according to PS-1 of Appendix B of 40 CFR Part 60. [40 CFR 63.1350(c)(1) and A.A.C. R18-2-331.A.3.c] 

b. To remain in compliance, the opacity shall be maintained such that the 6-minute average 

opacity for any 6-minute block period does not exceed 20 percent. If the average opacity 

for any 6-minute block period exceeds 20 percent, this shall constitute a violation of the 

standard. [40 CFR 63.1350(c)(3)]

2. The Permittee shall monitor opacity from the clinker cooler at each point where emissions are 

vented from the clinker cooler in accordance with the following conditions: 

a. The Permittee shall install, calibrate, maintain, and continuously operate a COM located 

at the outlet of the clinker cooler PM control device DC-445 to continuously monitor the 

opacity. The COM shall be installed, maintained, calibrated, and operated as required by 

Subpart A of 40 CFR Part 63 and according to PS-1 of Appendix B to 40 CFR Part 60. [40 CFR 63.1350(d)(1) and A.A.C. R18-2-331.A.3.c] 

b. To remain in compliance, the opacity shall be maintained such that the 6- minute average 

opacity for any 6-minute block period does not exceed 10 percent. If the average opacity 

for any 6-minute block period exceeds 10 percent, this shall constitute a violation of the 

standard. [40 CFR 63.1350(d)(3)]

3. The Permittee shall monitor opacity from a raw or finish mill by conducting daily visual 

emissions observations of the mill sweep and air separator particulate matter control devices 
Final PCC Permit No. 35426 Page 25 1/31/07

(PMCDs) of the affected sources, as defined in 40 CFR 63.1340(b), in accordance with the 

procedures of EPA Reference Method 22. The EPA Reference Method 22 test shall be 

conducted while the affected source is operating at the highest load or capacity level 

reasonably expected to occur within the day. The duration of the EPA Reference Method 22 

test shall be 6 minutes. If visible emissions are observed during any EPA Reference Method 

22 visible emissions test, the Permittee must: [40 CFR 63.1350(e)]

a. Initiate, within one-hour, the corrective actions specified in the site specific operating and 

maintenance plan prescribed in Attachment “E” of this Permit. 

b. Within 24 hours of the end of the EPA Reference Method 22 test in which visible 

emissions were observed, conduct a visual opacity test of each stack from which visible 

emissions were observed in accordance with EPA Reference Method 9. The duration of 

the EPA Reference Method 9 test shall be 30 minutes. 

c. The requirements to conduct daily Method 22 testing shall not apply to any specific raw 

mill or finish mill equipped with a continuous opacity monitor COM or bag leak 

detection system (BLDS). [40 CFR 63.1350(m) and A.A.C. R18-2-331.A.3.c]

(1) The Permittee may choose to install a COM in lieu of conducting the daily visual 

emissions testing. The COM must be installed at the outlet of the PM control device 

of the raw mill or finish mill, and must be installed, maintained, calibrated, and 

operated as required by the general provisions in 40 CFR 63, Subpart A and 

according to PS-1 of appendix B to 40 CFR Part 60. To remain in compliance, the 

opacity must be maintained such that the 6-minute average opacity for any 6-minute 

block period does not exceed 10 percent. If the average opacity for any 6-minute 

block period exceeds 10 percent, this shall constitute a violation of the standard. 

(2) The Permittee may choose to install a BLDS in lieu of conducting the daily visual 

emissions testing. The following requirements shall apply to each BLDS: 

(a) The BLDS must be certified by the manufacturer to be capable of detecting PM 

emissions at concentrations of 10 milligrams per actual cubic meter (0.0044 

grains per actual cubic foot) or less. "Certify" shall mean that the instrument 

manufacturer has tested the instrument on gas streams having a range of 

particle size distributions and confirmed by means of valid filterable PM tests 

that the minimum detectable concentration limit is at or below 10 milligrams 

per actual cubic meter (0.0044 grains per actual cubic foot) or less; 

(b) The sensor on the BLDS must provide output of relative PM emissions; 

(c) The BLDS must have an alarm that will activate automatically when it detects a 

significant increase in relative PM emissions greater than a preset level; 

(d) The presence of an alarm condition should be clearly apparent to facility 

operating personnel; 

(e) For a positive-pressure fabric filter, each compartment or cell must have a bag 

leak detector. For a negative-pressure or induced-air fabric filter, the bag leak 

detector must be installed downstream of the fabric filter. If multiple bag leak 

detectors are required (for either type of fabric filter), detectors may share the 

system instrumentation and alarm; 

(f) All BLDS must be installed, operated, adjusted, and maintained so that they are 

based on the manufacturer's written specifications and recommendations. The 

EPA recommends that where appropriate, the standard operating procedures 

manual for each bag leak detection system include concepts from EPA's "Fabric 

Filter Bag Leak Detection Guidance" (EPA-454/R-98-015, September 1997); 

(g) The baseline output of the system must be established as follows: 
Final PCC Permit No. 35426 Page 26 1/31/07

i) Adjust the range and the averaging period of the device; and 

ii) Establish the alarm set points and the alarm delay time. 

(h) After initial adjustment, the range, averaging period, alarm set points, or alarm 

delay time may not be adjusted except as specified in the operations and 

maintenance plan required by Condition III.C.2 above. In no event may the 

range be increased by more than 100 percent or decreased by more than 50 

percent over a 1 calendar year period unless a responsible official as defined in 

40 CFR 63.2 certifies in writing to the Director that the fabric filter has been 

inspected and found to be in good operating condition; and 

(i) The Permittee must maintain and operate the fabric filter such that the bag leak 

detector alarm is not activated and alarm condition does not exist for more than 

5 percent of the total operating time in a 6-month block period. Each time the 

alarm activates, alarm time will be counted as the actual amount of time taken 

by the Permittee to initiate corrective actions. If inspection of the fabric filter 

demonstrates that no corrective actions are necessary, no alarm time will be 

counted. The Permittee must continuously record the output from the BLDS 

during periods of normal operation. Normal operation does not include periods 

when the BLDS is being maintained or during startup, shutdown or 

malfunction. 

(3) If a COM or BLDS is to be installed and operated in lieu of conducting the daily 

visual emissions testing, the Permittee shall furnish the Director and the 

Administrator written notification 30 days prior to such installation in addition to 

other notification requirements set forth in Condition III.H of this section. 

4. The Permittee shall monitor D/F emissions in accordance with the following conditions: 

[40 CFR 63.1350(f)] 

a. The Permittee shall install, calibrate, maintain, and continuously operate a continuous 

monitor to record the temperature of the exhaust gases from the Kiln 4/In-Line Raw Mill

and Coal Mill system at the inlet to, or upstream of, the in-line raw mill PM control 

device DC-431. [A.A.C. R18-2-331.A.3.c]

(1) The recorder response range must include zero and 1.5 times of the average 

temperatures established for each of the four different operating scenarios according 

to the requirements in Condition III.E.1.c(5) below. 

(2) The reference method must be a National Institute of Standards and Technology 

calibrated reference thermocouple-potentiometer system or alternate reference, 

subject to approval by the Director. 

b. The Permittee shall monitor and continuously record the temperature of the exhaust gases 

from the Kiln 4/In-Line Raw Mill and Coal Mill at the inlet to the In-Line Raw Mill PM 

control device DC-431. 

c. The three-hour rolling average temperature shall be calculated as the average of 180 

successive one-minute average temperatures. 

d. Periods of time when one-minute averages are not available shall be ignored when 

calculating three-hour rolling averages. When one-minute averages become available, 

the first one-minute average is added to the previous 179 values to calculate the threehour rolling average. 

e. When the operating status of the In-Line Raw Mill is changed from off to on, or from on 

to off, the calculation of the three-hour rolling average temperature for the corresponding 

equipment must begin anew, without considering previous recordings. 
Final PCC Permit No. 35426 Page 27 1/31/07

f. The calibration of all thermocouples and other temperature sensors shall be verified at 

least once every three months. 

5. The Permittee shall conduct an inspection of the components of the combustion system of the

enclosed in Attachment “E” of this Permit. [40 CFR 63.1350(j)] 

7. The Permittee shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a particulate matter continuous 

emission monitoring system (PM CEMS) to measure the particulate matter discharged to the 

atmosphere. All requirements relating to installation, calibration, maintenance, operation or 

performance of the PM CEMS and implementation of the PM CEMS requirement are deferred 

pending further rulemaking. [40 CFR 63.1350(k) and A.A.C. R18-2-331.A.3.c]

8. All continuous emissions monitoring systems shall meet the following requirements: 

[A.A.C. R18-2-306.A.3.c] 

a. Monitoring performance specifications required by Conditions III.D above, 40 CFR 

63.8(a)(1), and/or 40 CFR 63.8(b) through 40 CFR 63.8(g). 

b. The Permittee shall maintain 90 percent data recovery on all the data obtained from the 

CEMS. Compliance with this data recovery requirement shall be determined based on 

total Kiln 4 operating time during a 365 day period. 

c. All data gaps shall be filled with the average hourly concentration recorded by the CEMS 

for the hour immediately before and the hour immediately after the missing data period. 

d. Instrument span shall be such that the expected output is 50 to 70 percent (1.5 times the 

average temperature established according to Condition III.E.1.c(5) below for 

temperature monitors) of span. 

E. Testing Requirements 

1. The Permittee shall demonstrate compliance with the emission limits of Conditions III.B.1.a 

and III.B.2 through III.B.5 of this Attachment by conducting the following test methods and 

procedures in accordance with the frequency requirements set forth in Conditions III.E.2 and 3 

of this Attachment and consistent with the requirements set forth in 40 CFR 63.7 and in 

Section XVIII, Attachment “A” of this Permit: [40 CFR 63.1349(a) and A.A.C. R18-2-306.A.3.c]

a. PM and Visual Emissions Testing Required for Kiln 4/In-Line Raw Mill and Coal Mill 

and Clinker Cooler 

(1) For Kiln 4/In-Line Raw Mill and Coal Mill, the Permittee shall demonstrate 

compliance by conducting separate performance tests as specified in Conditions 

III.E.1.a.(3) through III.E.1.a.(5) below while both In-Line Raw Mill RM-306 and 

Coal Mill RM-450 are under normal operating conditions and while In-Line Raw 

Mill RM-306 is not operating and Coal Mill RM-450 is under normal operating 

conditions. The performance tests shall be conducted such that the flue samples are 

to be withdrawn from In-Line Raw Mill stack S-401 and Coal Mill stack S-453 

simultaneously. All performance tests shall be conducted and operating parameters 

set in accordance with a site-specific test plan required to be submitted by the 

Permittee and approved by the Director prior to the tests. [40 CFR 63.7(c) and 1349(b)(1)]

(2) For Clinker Cooler CC-404, the Permittee shall demonstrate compliance by 

conducting a performance test as specified in Conditions III.E.1.a(3) through 

III.E.1.a(5) below. The performance test shall be conducted and operating 

parameters set in accordance with a site-specific test plan required to be submitted 

by the Permittee and approved by the Director prior to the test. 
Final PCC Permit No. 35426 Page 28 1/31/07

[40 CFR 63.7(c) and 1349(b)(1)] 

(3) EPA Reference Method 5 shall be used to determine PM emissions. Each 

performance test shall consist of three separate runs under the conditions that exist 

when the affected source, as defined in 40 CFR 63.1340(b), is operating at the 

highest load or capacity level reasonably expected to occur. Each run shall be 

conducted for at least one hour, and the minimum sample volume shall be 0.85 dscm 

(30 dscf). The average of the three runs shall be used to determine compliance. A 

determination of the PM collected in the impingers (“back half”) of the EPA 

Reference Method 5 particulate sampling train is not required to demonstrate initial 

compliance with the PM standards specified in Conditions III.B.1.a(1) and III.B.2.a 

of this Attachment. However this shall not preclude the permitting authority from 

requiring a determination of the “back half” for other purposes. [40 CFR 63.1349(b)(1)(i)]

(4) Suitable methods shall be used to determine the Kiln 4/In-Line Raw Mill and Coal 

Mill feed rate, except for fuels, for each run. [40 CFR 63.1349(b)(1)(ii)]

(5) The emission rate, E, of PM shall be computed for each run using the following 

equations: [40 CFR 63.1349(b)(1)(iii)]

P = Total kiln feed (dry basis), Mg/hr 

(6) The Permittee shall determine the opacity exhibited at each stack during the period 

of the EPA Reference Method 5 performance tests required by Condition 

III.E.1.a.(3) above through the use of a continuous opacity monitor (COM) for that 

stack. The maximum six-minute average opacity during the three EPA Reference 

Method 5 test runs shall be determined during each EPA Reference Method 5 test 

run, and used to demonstrate compliance with the applicable opacity limits of 

Condition III.B.1.a(2) or III.B.2.b above. [40 CFR 63.1349(b)(1)(v)]

b. Opacity Testing for Other Affected Sources [40 CFR 63.1349(b)(2)]

(1) The Permittee shall demonstrate compliance of the following affected sources with 

the corresponding opacity limits by conducting a test in accordance with Method 9 

of Appendix A to 40 CFR Part 60: 

(a) Raw Mill BM-301 and Swing Mill BM-302 when used for raw feed grinding; 

(b) Finish Mills BM-303 and 304, OK Mill BM-305, and Swing Mill BM-302 
Final PCC Permit No. 35426 Page 29 1/31/07

when used for clinker grinding; 

(c) Raw material dryers BM-301 and BM-302 when used for raw feed grinding; 

(d) Each raw material, clinker, or finished product storage bin; 

(e) Each conveying system transfer point including those associated with coal 

preparation used to convey coal from the mill to the kiln; and 

(f) Each bagging and bulk loading and unloading system. 

(2) The opacity testing shall be conducted under the conditions that exist when the 

affected source is operating at the representative performance conditions in 

accordance with 40 CFR 63.7(e). The maximum 6-minute average opacity exhibited 

during the test period shall be used to determine whether the affected source is in 

compliance with the standard. The duration of the Method 9 performance test shall 

be 3 hours (30 6-minute averages), except that the duration of the Method 9 

performance test may be reduced to 1 hour if the following conditions apply: 

(a) There are no individual readings greater than 10 percent opacity; 

(b) There are no more than three readings of 10 percent for the first 1-hour period. 

c. D/F Emissions Testing Required for Kiln 4/In-Line Raw Mill and Coal Mill 

(1) The Permittee shall demonstrate compliance with the D/F emission limit by 

conducting separate performance tests as specified in Conditions III.E.1.c(2) through 

III.E.1.c(5) below while In-Line Raw Mill RM-306 is under normal operating 

conditions and while In-Line Raw Mill RM-306 is not operating. Flue samples shall 

be withdrawn from In-Line Raw Mill stack S-401 and from Coal Mill stack S-453. 

All performance tests shall be conducted and operating parameters set in accordance 

with a site-specific test plan required to be submitted by the Permittee and approved 

by the Director prior to the tests. [40 CFR 63.7(c) and 63.1349(b)(3)]

(2) EPA Reference Method 23 shall be used to determine D/F emissions. Each 

performance test shall consist of three separate runs; each run shall be conducted 

under the conditions that exist when the affected source is operating at the 

representative performance conditions in accordance with 40 CFR 63.7(e). The 

duration of each run shall be at least three hours and the sample volume for each run 

shall be at least 2.5 dscm (90 dscf). The concentration shall be determined for each 

run and the arithmetic average of the concentration measured for the three runs shall 

be calculated and used to determine compliance. [40 CFR 63.1349(b)(3)(i)]

(3) The temperature at the inlet to the In-Line Raw Mill PM control device DC-431 

shall be continuously recorded during the period of the EPA Reference Method 23 

test, and the continuous temperature record(s) shall be included in the performance 

test report. [40 CFR 63.1349(b)(3)(ii)]

(4) One-minute average temperatures shall be calculated for each minute of each run of 

the test. [40 CFR 63.1349(b)(3)(iii)]

(5) The run average temperature shall be calculated for each run, and the average of the 

run average temperatures shall be determined and included in the performance test 

report and will determine as referenced in Condition III.B.1.b of this Attachment, 

the applicable exhaust temperature limit while In-Line Raw Mill RM-306 is under 

normal operating conditions and while In-Line Raw Mill RM-306 is not operating. 

[40 CFR 63.1349(b)(3)(iv)] 

d. The Permittee shall document the performance test results in and submit to the Director, 

complete test reports that contain the following as well as all other relevant information: 

[40 CFR 63.1349(a) and A.A.C. R18-2-306.A.3.c]

calibration procedures; 

(7) Raw data sheets for field sampling and field and laboratory analyses; 

(8) Documentation of calculations; 

(9) All data recorded and used to establish parameters for compliance monitoring; and 

(10) Any other information required by the test method. 

2. Except as provided in Condition III.E.5 below and at such other times as may be required by 

the Director, performance tests required under Condition III.E.1.a above shall be repeated 

every five years for the purpose of 40 CFR 63, Subpart LLL, and every year for the purpose of 

A.A.C. R18-2-312, except that the Permittee is not required to repeat the performance test of 

opacity for the Kiln 4/In-Line Raw Mill and Coal Mill or clinker cooler after the initial 

performance test completed within 180 days of issuance of this Permit. 

[40 CFR 63.1349(c) and A.A.C. R18-2-312] 

3. Performance tests required under Condition III.E.1.b above shall be repeated every five years 

and at such other times as may be required by the Director. [40 CFR 63.1349(c) and A.A.C. R18-2-312]

IV.B.5.h below. [40 CFR 60.675(a)]

b. The Permittee shall determine compliance with the particulate matter standards in 

Condition IV.B.2.a above as follows: [40 CFR 60.675(b)(2)]

(1) Method 5 or Method 17 shall be used to determine the particulate matter 

concentration. The sample volume shall be at least 1.70 dscm (60 dscf). For 

Method 5, if the gas stream being sampled is at ambient temperature, the sampling 

probe and filter may be operated without heaters. If the gas stream is above ambient 

temperature, the sampling probe and filter may be operated at a temperature high 

enough, but no higher than 121 °C (250 °F), to prevent water condensation on the 

filter. 

(2) Method 9 and the procedures in 40 CFR 60.11 shall be used to determine opacity. 

c. In determining compliance with the particulate matter standards in Conditions IV.B.2.b 

and c above, the Permittee shall use Method 9 and the procedures in 40 CFR 60.11, with 

the following additions: [40 CFR 60.675(c)(1)]

(1) The minimum distance between the observer and the emission source shall be 4.57 

meters (15 feet).

other fugitive emission sources (e.g., road dust). The required observer position 

relative to the sun (Method 9, Section 2.1) must be followed. 

(3) For facilities using wet dust suppression for particulate matter control, a visible mist 

is sometimes generated by the spray. The water mist must not be confused with 

particulate matter emissions and is not to be considered a visible emission. When a 

water mist of this nature is present, the observation of emissions is to be made at a 

point in the plume where the mist is no longer visible. 

d. In determining compliance with the opacity of stack emissions from any baghouse that 

controls emissions only from an individual enclosed storage bin under Condition IV.B.2.f 

above, using Method 9, the duration of the Method 9 observations shall be 1 hour (ten 6-

minute averages). [40 CFR 60.675(c)(2)]

e. When determining compliance with the fugitive emissions standard for any facility 

described under Condition IV.B.2.b above, the duration of the Method 9 observations 

may be reduced from 3 hours (thirty 6-minute averages) to 1 hour (ten 6-minute 

averages) only if the following conditions apply: [40 CFR 60.675(c)(3)]

(1) There are no individual readings greater than 10 percent opacity; and 

(2) There are no more than 3 readings of 10 percent for the 1-hour period. 

f. When determining compliance with the fugitive emissions standard for any crusher at 
Final PCC Permit No. 35426 Page 39 1/31/07

which a capture system is not used as described under Condition IV.B.2.c above, the 

duration of the Method 9 observations may be reduced from 3 hours (thirty 6-minute 

averages) to 1 hour (ten 6-minute averages) only if the following conditions apply: 

[40 CFR 60.675(c)(4)] 

(1) There are no individual readings greater than 15 percent opacity; and 

(2) There are no more than 3 readings of 15 percent for the 1-hour period. 

g. In determining compliance with Condition IV.B.2.e above, the Permittee shall use 

Method 22 to determine fugitive emissions. The performance test shall be conducted 

while all affected facilities inside the building are operating. The performance test for

Air Quality Control Permit No. 35426 

For 

Phoenix Cement Company 

I. INTRODUCTION 

A. Requirements and Policy 

Arizona Administrative Code Title 18, Chapter 2, (AAC R18-2) Article 6 requires that an operator 

take reasonable precautions to prevent excess amounts of particulate matter (PM) from becoming 

airborne from sources of fugitive dust, including open areas, roadways and streets, material 

handling, and storage piles. Under AAC R18-2-610, opacity from any nonpoint source shall not be 

greater than 40 percent, measured in accordance with the Arizona Testing Manual, Reference 

Method 9. 

Phoenix Cement Company’s (PCC’s) dust control goals include ongoing road-paving activities, 

watering or otherwise treating unpaved roads and parking areas, taking other reasonable 

precautions to prevent excess amounts of PM from becoming airborne, and to maintain compliance 

with the 40 percent opacity standard. PCC will accomplish these goals with diligent use of 

practical methods, equipment, and procedures currently utilized at the Clarkdale facility. PCC is 

committed to operating as an environmentally responsible producer of quality cement products. 

B. Background 

The PCC Clarkdale facility includes a cement manufacturing plant and an adjacent quarry. The 

cement plant utilizes rotary kilns fired by coal/coke, coal, and natural gas to produce cement from 

various types of materials, including limestone, volcanic ash, and mill scale. 

Limestone and other types of rock are blasted and transported by haul trucks from the quarry to the 

primary crusher or td stockpiles. Crushed rock is routed to surge piles fur subsequent transfer to 

the secondary crusher. The secondary crusher is used in conjunction with feeders and screens to 

further reduce the size of the rock that is sent to raw mill storage bays. 

The crushed rock is conveyed from the storage bays to the raw mill for grinding via the rock bin, 

elevator and separator. Milled material (raw meal) is transported to the blending system, and then 

it is transported into feed bins from which the meal is discharged to the pyroprocessing system. 

The heart of the Portland cement manufacturing process is the pyroprocessing system, namely, 

Kiln 4. This system transforms the raw mix into clinkers, which are gray, glass-hard, spherically 

shaped nodules. Emission sources in the clinker handling and storage facility are eliminated by the 

use of indoor clinker storage enclosures (domes). 

During normal operations, PCC utilizes water trucks regularly on haul roads and other unpaved 

roads to prevent excessive airborne dust generation. Water trucks operate on a regular basis 

whenever roads are in use. 

II. CONTROL PLAN 

A. Roads 

Various types of dust control measures may be utilized by PCC to minimize fugitive emissions 

from unpaved roads. Haul roads between the quarry and the primary crusher are regularly watered 

on all days on which haul trucks operate. Other unpaved roads on the facility are regularly watered 
Final PCC Permit No. 35426 Page 69 1/31/07

and/or treated with dust suppressants and/or chemical stabilizers as necessary to minimize dust 

from vehicular traffic and high winds. 

This Dust Control Plan requires PCC to ensure that water trucks operate on each day on which haul 

trucks and/or other vehicular traffic occurs. If water trucks are not operated on a particular day, 

PCC shall record the date and the reason for non-operation. 

B. Open Areas 

Open areas, such as unpaved parking areas and other level areas, are regularly watered and/or 

treated with dust suppressants and/or chemical stabilizers as necessary to minimize dust from 

vehicular traffic and high winds. PCC shall ensure that water trucks operate on each day on which 

vehicular traffic occurs in unpaved open areas. If water trucks are not operated on a particular day, 

PCC shall record the date and the reason for non-operation. 

C. Storage Piles 

PCC has eliminated outdoor clinker storage and handling with the construction of two domed 

enclosures. A significant reduction in airborne fugitive dust was achieved by construction of the 

domes. Only raw feed is stored in outdoor storage piles. PCC adds dust suppressants and/or water 

to the raw feed during the primary and secondary crushing processes. As a result, the raw feed 

piles contain high-moisture, treated material which does not become airborne in excessive 

amounts. 

PCC shall ensure that raw feed stored in outdoor storage piles has sufficient moisture content, or 

has been otherwise sufficiently treated with dust suppressants, to prevent excessive airborne dust 

generation. If excessive airborne dust is observed, PCC shall record the date and determine the 

reason(s) for the event. 

D. Other Control Techniques 

PCC is continually evaluating and, when practical, implementing a program to pave plant roads. In 

addition, PCC continues to evaluate binders, dust suppressants, and construction techniques that 

provide a safe, economical and environmentally responsible means of managing fugitive dust. 

III. MONITORING 

PCC shall conduct a visual survey on a daily basis to ensure that excessive amounts of fugitive dust are 

not becoming airborne. If excessive dust is observed, PCC shall record the date and the reasons.
