PART 1.0 FACILITY DESCRIPTION 

1.1 Site Determination 

Lafarge Building Materials Atlanta Plant is the only facility at this part 70 site. There are no site determination 

issues. 

1.2 Previous and/or Other Names 

Lafarge North America acquired Blue Circle Cement in September 2001. This facility was originally built and 

operated by Martin Marietta in the 1960s and was acquired by Blue Circle Cement in 1983. Prior to 1983, 

Martin Marietta owned the facility. 

1.3 Overall Facility Process Description 

This general process description provides an overview of the processing steps that occur at the Atlanta Plant. 

Portland cement manufacturing at the Atlanta Plant involves the following key process steps: raw material 

handling, raw material grinding, a cement kiln, finish cement grinding and finished product distribution. The 

Atlanta Plant manufactures Portland cement by the dry process. The dry process denotes that raw feed to the 

kiln is low in moisture. 

Raw Material Handling 

The primary raw material in cement manufacturing is a calcium source, typically limestone. Most Portland 

cement plants include a nearby or on-site quarry operation for their source of limestone. However, the Atlanta 

Plant does not include a quarry operation and receives its stone via bulk shipments from various locations. 

Secondary raw material components used in the preparation of raw kiln feed include materials that are sources 

of silica (e.g., sand), alumina (e.g., clay, flyash, kaolin), and iron (e.g., buff iron, mill scale). Gypsum is 

another raw material that is not typically added to raw feed, but is normally added into the finish cement 

grinding process. These secondary raw materials are used to fine-tune the quality of the clinker produced by 

the kiln. Lafarge actively searches for alternate sources of these raw materials to provide cost-effective 

sources of these essential elemental components. These alternate raw material sources include, but are not 

limited to, calcium hydroxide from acetylene manufacture, waste kaolin (clay), wood ash, spent alumina 

catalyst, spent lime mud, etc. 

Limestone is typically shipped to the Atlanta Plant via rail. It is then crushed and conveyed to raw material 

silos prior to raw milling at the plant. Secondary raw materials usually arrive at the Atlanta Plant by truck and 

are stored in stockpiles and/or raw material silos until needed in the raw milling process. 

Air emissions associated with this part of the plant’s operation include dusts generated during crushing, raw 

material handling, and transfers to/from storage silos. Point source emissions are typically controlled by fabric 

filters (i.e., baghouses). 

Raw Material Grinding 

From these storage locations, raw materials are conveyed to the facility’s raw mills for further processing. 

The Atlanta Plant’s raw mills are ball type mills that finely grind raw materials into raw kiln feed. The two 

raw mill systems at the Atlanta Plant generate particulate emissions that are controlled by baghouses. Kiln 

feed is pneumatically conveyed from the raw mills to the kiln feed homogenizing silos prior to being fed to the 

kiln. 
Title V Permit 

Lafarge Building Materials, Inc. – Atlanta Plant Permit No.: 3241-121-0401-V-04-0 

Printed: December 19, 2003 Page 2 of 40 

Raw materials are fed to the raw mills as received with moisture and the dry process requires a “dry” kiln feed, 

therefore, the raw mills are heated to drive off the moisture. Heat in the raw mills is produced by the 

combustion of natural gas, fuel oil, and/or landfill gas. Raw Mill System 1 operates as a swing mill, which 

means it can also be used as a finish cement mill. During use as a finish mill, no combustion is required. 

Cement Kiln 

Dry kiln feed from the raw mills is temporarily stored in silos prior to being fed to the cement kiln. The kiln is 

fired to temperatures in excess of 3000°F in order to process the kiln feed into clinker. In order to achieve kiln 

operating temperatures, the cement kiln is primarily fueled by coal and petroleum coke. In addition, the 

Atlanta Plant uses fuel oil, natural gas, carbon black (toner), used oil, landfill gas and coal by-product for kiln 

fuel. Prior to obtaining any coal by-product for use as a fuel in the kiln, Lafarge is required to notify EPD and 

obtain written permission. Lafarge continues to investigate the use of “alternate fuels” such as, but not limited 

to, carpet waste, sawdust, belt trim, used oil, autofluff, and other carbon fuel sources that have an energy 

benefit. Lafarge is permitted to burn tires as a supplemental fuel in the cement kiln at the Atlanta Plant. This 

was permitted after extensive trials. Lafarge does not and has not engaged in the burning of hazardous waste 

at the Atlanta Plant. 

Clinker produced from the kiln system is cooled in a heat exchanger process unit called a clinker cooler. The 

clinker cooler transfers heat from the clinker to ambient air that is passed across the clinker to reduce clinker 

temperature. In order to handle and produce finished cement products, clinker is conveyed from the clinker 

coolers to a series of storage silos prior to grinding in the plant’s finish mills. 

Fabric filters (baghouses) control particulate matter emissions from the kiln system and clinker cooler. The 

Atlanta Plant also employs process control technology (as Reasonably Achievable Control Technology; 

RACT) to control NOx emissions from the kiln system. 

Finish Cement Milling 

 The Atlanta Plant uses three ball mills to grind clinker: two finish mills and a raw mill (Raw Mill System 1). 

In the finish mill, gypsum and other secondary raw materials may be added to the clinker to produce the 

appropriate finished cement properties. Particulate emissions from these mills are controlled by baghouses. 

Finished product is transferred pneumatically to cement storage silos prior to final preparation and distribution 

to customers. 

Product Distribution 

At the Atlanta Plant, product is commonly distributed by three key means: bulk trucks, bulk rail cars, and 

packaged (bagged products). A majority of finished product is shipped out in bulk by truck and rail. Cement 

is pneumatically transferred from the cement storage silos to bulk loadout stations. These loadout stations are 

typically controlled by baghouses to minimize product loss to the atmosphere. 

The packhouse operation at the Atlanta Plant, constructed in 1989, serves two key roles. First, the packhouse 

includes a bagging operation in which cement is bagged and palletized for off-site transportation. Second, the 

packhouse also includes a cement pigment mixing system to produce custom colored cement products. These 

custom colored cement products are typically bagged, but can also be shipped in bulk from the packhouse 

operation. Emissions from the packhouse area equipment are controlled by baghouses.

PART 7.0 OTHER SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS 

7.1 Operational Flexibility 

7.1.1 The Permittee may make Section 502(b)(10) changes as defined in 40 CFR 70.2 without requiring a 

Permit revision, if the changes are not modifications under any provisions of Title I of the Federal 

Act and the changes do not exceed the emissions allowable under the Permit (whether expressed 

therein as a rate of emissions or in terms of total emissions). For each such change, the Permittee 

shall provide the Division and the EPA with written notification as required below in advance of the 

proposed changes and shall obtain any Permits required under Rules 391-3-1-.03(1) and (2). The 

Permittee and the Division shall attach each such notice to their copy of this Permit. 

[391-3-1-.03(10)(b)5 and 40 CFR 70.4(b)(12)(i)] 

a. For each such change, the Permittee’s written notification and application for a construction 

Permit shall be submitted well in advance of any critical date (typically at least 90 days in 

advance of any commencement of construction, Permit issuance date, etc.) involved in the 

change, but no less than seven (7) days in advance of such change and shall include a brief 

description of the change within the Permitted facility, the date on which the change is proposed 

to occur, any change in emissions, and any Permit term or condition that is no longer applicable 

as a result of the change. 

b. The Permit shield described in Condition 8.16.1 shall not apply to any change made pursuant to

a. The process is similar in function and has control system similar to permitted equipment already 

on site (e.g. storage bin with baghouse). 

b. The change is otherwise exempt from State permit review requirements under Rule 391-3-1-

.03(6). Specifically: cumulative modifications, not covered in an existing permit, where the 

combined particulate matter potential to emit (PTE) increase is below 5 ton/year. 

c. When calculating particulate matter PTE, NSPS grain loading emission limits and/or emission 

factors from AP-42 [The U. S. EPA AP-42 document "Compilation of Air Pollutants Emissions 

Factors," as revised,] should be used whenever possible. In no event may a control efficiency 

greater in value than estimated by AP-42 for similar equipment be used in calculating potential 

emissions. Any process or control equipment assumed when calculating PTE must be installed 

and operated in a manner consistent with good operating practices, and any requirements of this 

permit relating to the type of equipment used. 

d. All applicable NSPS requirements as well as any special conditions of this permit for Testing, 

Monitoring, Notification and Record Keeping are met.

8.13.2 An emergency shall constitute an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with 

the technology-based emission limitations if the Permittee demonstrates, through properly signed 

contemporaneous operating logs or other relevant evidence, that: 

[391-3-1-.03(10)(d)7 and 40 CFR 70.6(g)(2) and (3)] 

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

b. The Permitted facility was at the time of the emergency being properly operated; 

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