# AIR QUALITY RE: Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) Analysis Revised CALPUFF Results Lafarge Tulsa Plant Dear 

### Mr. Fielder: Lafarge Building Materials (Lafarge) submitted a BART waiver application on November 30, 2006, with supplemental information provided at the Oklahoma DEQ's request on November 7, 2007. In 

### a letter dated December 12,2007, the Oklahoma DEQ indicated certain inconsistencies between modeled emission rates and those listed in the facility's Title V permit, issued November 20, 2007. In 

### addition, the DEQ also inquired about the construction date of Kiln No. I, indicating that it might be a BART -affected unit. While Kiln No.1 was indeed constructed outside of the BART applicability window, the modeled emission rates do need to be revised to reflect the ernl!:;sion rates presented in the facility's Title V permit. For most of the modeled sources, emission rates from the Title V permit have been incorporated into the updated model runs enclosed with this letter. Note that the previous model runs used NOx and S02 Kiln No.2 emission rates higher than the estimates listed in the Title V permit. In 

### order to provide a conservative estimate of visibility impact, these higher Kiln No.2 emission rates were retained in the current model run. All other aspects of the CALPUFF model, including PM 10 

### speciation profile, stack parameters, and CALMET, CALPUFF, and CALPOST input parameters remain unchanged from the original modeling report submitted on November 29,2006. As summarized at the end of this letter, the Lafarge Tulsa Plant's visibility impact (based on the 98 th 

### percentile change in deciview [LldvD on its four neighboring Class I 

### areas does increase marginally, but remains below BART exemption levels. SOURCE 

### EMISSIONS A summary of maximum 24-hr emission rates for each of the BART-eligible units at the Tulsa Plant is summarized below. Emission rates have been updated to match the values listed in the most recent Title V permit.

### MODEL RESULTS A summary of the top 25 visibility-impairing days at each of the relevant Class I areas over the modeled 2001-03 period is summarized in Tables 4 through 7 below. Shaded values indicate visibility impacts that exceed the 0.5**~dv** 

### threshold for contribution to visibility impairment. As seen in these tables, the 98 th 

### percentile values indicate that the Tulsa Plant's contribution to visibility impairment is still below the 0.5**~dv** 

### threshold at each of the neighboring Class I areas. These results indicate that the Tulsa Plant therefore qualifies for exemption from BART. TABLE
