III. Plant Operations 

^ ~ 

;7J1 1 

A. Complete Table 1 for the most recent calendar year (unless the respondent can justify 

selection of an alternate base year) for all processes at your plant that are covered by 

the brick and structural clay products manufacturing source category. For each type of 

process (i.e., process line), provide a process flow diagram that includes all sources of 

air emissions (e.g., stack emissions, process fugitive emissions, and area fugitive 

emissions [including fugitive dust emissions]). Also include all activities that generate 

HAP emissions, including the storage, transfer, handling, and processing of the 

materials, and wastewater and solid waste handling. Indicate all feedstocks, products, 

and emissions that contain compounds that are listed in Table 2, below. Use the same 

terminology/codes in identifying unit operations and emissions points in this figure as 

you will use in completing Table 3, below. 

B. List the products, coproducts, and by-products identified in the process flow diagram 

and indicate for each how much is produced annually.

356.365, 169 ne.,.sds = 178. 183 4ons = 89.091 fon6 par 91tA/ (Z KIWS ) 

IV. HAP's--Usage and Emissions 

A. Complete Table 2 for each emission point identified in the process flow diagram(s) 

developed for Part IlI.A., above. For each HAP listed on the table, indicate the 

likelihood, using the codes defined in Table 2, that the HAP is emitted from a given 

emission point within the source category. Identify the appropriate emission points 

using the same terminology/codes you used in completing the process flow diagram(s) 

in Part III.A, above. 

B. Using copies of Tables 3A and 3B, complete the table for each process and emission 

point identified in Part III, with the following exceptions. 

For those emission points from units with Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA) Part B permits, it is not necessary to complete Table 3 for 

wastewater and solid waste handling operations; X 

. ~. 

2. Sources with no air pollution capture or control systems will only complete 

columns 1-3, 8, and 10 of Table 3-A; and 

3. Provide HAP data only for those HAP's identified with code "A" in Table 2, 

above. 

C. Complete Table 4 for any air pollution capture or control equipment identified in 

Table 3, above. 

IN 
2 

D. For calculations based on emission factors, material balances, or enaineering 

principles. submit a step-by-step description of the calculations, including assumptions 

used, and a brief rationale for the validity of the calculation method used. (See 

guidance documents listed in Attachment A, Section IV). If test reports are listed as 

the basis for emissions estimates or capture system and control device efficiencies, 

provide a brief summary of the relevant tests. Include information such as the purpose 

of the test, when it was conducted, what test methods were used, and information on 

the process operation during the test. It is not necessary to submit copies of actual test 

reports at this time although EPA may request additional documentation on a plantspecific basis in the future. 

V. Factors That Affect HAP Emission Reductions 

Completion of this Section V is optional. If you choose to respond, clearly distinguish 

between pollution reduction and source reduction measures. Pollution reduction measures 

alter the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics or the volume of a HAP through a 

process or activity which itself is not integral to and necessary to produce a product or 

provide a service. The use of "add-on" devices to capture and control (recover or destroy) 

HAP emissions are considered pollution reduction measures. In contrast, source reduction 

measures reduce the amount of any HAP prior to recycling, treatment, or disposal. Source 

reduction measures include equipment or technology modifications, process or procedure 

modifications, reformulation or redesign of products, substitution of raw materials, and 

improvements in housekeeping, maintenance, training, or inventory control. 

A. For each unit operation for which pollution reduction or source reduction 

measures have resulted in a decrease in HAP emissions since 1987, provide the 

n I ~ following information. 

1. Name of unit operation: 

2. Type of control or description of process change: 

B. If recovery or recycling of feedstocks is used, quantify the effect of the program (e.g., 

estimated annual purchase of feedstock in the absence of recovery/recycling compared 

to actual annual purchase): 

7 
5 

C. Are you aware of any alternative processes (feedstock substitutions or eliminations) or 

control devices that could result in fewer impacts between environmental media 

~. (water, air, and land) or reduced total release to all environmental media (e.g., reduced 

wastewater or solid waste)? Discuss whether these processes could be adapted to the 

brick and structural clay products manufacturing source category and any experience 

you have with them. 

VI. Miscellaneous 

A. If any control or process change described in Part V was instituted as a result of new 

source review requirements pursuant to 40 CFR 51.160, Subpart I, Review of New 

Sources and Modifications, provide the date at which the lowest achievable emission 

rate (LABR) came into effect: 

B. Describe any factors not addressed in the above questions that might serve to 

I

distinguish your facility from others in this source category for purposes of developing 

a separate source category or subcategory and MACT standards.

NOTES 

Raw Material Preparation Notes : 

At points 9A and 9B on the flow diagram, we add manganese dioxide to our raw material 

if we are making certain types of brick. The MSDS is attached. We have no data 

supporting a release of manganese from this operation. 

At our Sand Preparation and Sand Application points (8, 14A, 14B) we use several 

bagged kaolins and clays that we mix with various silica based sands. We have no data 

supporting a release of HAPs from these operations. 

Material Processing and Forming Notes : 

We had our raw materials tested for releases of Hydrogen Fluoride in our Plant 2 Coal 

Fired Kilns. The results are attached. It shows that there is a release of HF in our kilns 

based on the dried concentrations when compared to the fired concentrations. 

We also have had one of our coal fired kilns stack tested for Hydrogen Fluoride releases. 

The result was as follows : 2.19 pounds of HF per hour were released while processing 

11.3 tons of material. This equates to 0.1938 pounds of HF released per ton of material 

processed.

Unusual Fire and explosion hazards: Not combusti'ble, but substance is a strong oxidizer and its heat of reaction with 

reducing agents or combustibles may cause ignition. Increases the flammability of any combustible substance. 

Reactivity Data 

Stability: Stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage. 

Conditions to avoid: Do not heat or grind in the presence of easily oxidizable substances or organic 

matter. 

Incompatibility (materials to avoid): Easily oxidizable substances, sulfur, sulfides, phosphides, hydrophosphides, 

chlorates, peroxides, aluminum powder, rubidium acetylide, potassium aude, 

chlor'me tritluoride. Reacts with hydrochloric acid to form corrosive chlorine 

gas. 

Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts: Upon heating it decomposes to form manganese sesquioxide and oxygen which 

facilitates combustion. 

Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.

III. Plant Operations 

A. Complete Table 1 for the most recent calendar year (unless the respondent can justify 

selection of an alternate base year) for all processes at your plant that are covered by 

the brick and structural clay products manufacturing source category. For each type of 

process (i.e., process line), provide a process flow diagram that includes all sources of 

air emissions (e.g., stack emissions, process fugitive emissions, and area fugitive 

emissions [including fugitive dust emissions]). Also include all activities that generate 

HAP emissions, including the storage, transfer, handling, and processing of the 

materials, and wastewater and solid waste handling. Indicate all feedstocks, products, 

and emissions that contain compounds that are listed in Table 2, below. Use the same 

terminology/codes in identifying unit operations and emissions points in this figure as 

you will use in completing Table 3, below. 

B. List the products, coproducts, and by-products identified in the process flow diagram 

and indicate for each how much is produced annually.

IV. HAP's--Usage and Emissions 

A. Complete Table 2 for each emission point identified in the process flow diagram(s) 

developed for Part III.A., above. For each HAP listed on the table, indicate the 

likelihood, using the codes defined in Table 2, that the HAP is emitted from a given 

emission point within the source category. Identify the appropriate emission points 

using the same terminology/codes you used in completing the process flow diagram(s) 

in Part III.A, above. 

B. Using copies of Tables 3A and 3B, complete the table for each process and emission 

point identified in Part III, with the following exceptions. 

For those emission points from units with Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA) Part B permits, it is not necessary to complete Table 3 for 

wastewater and solid waste handling operations; 

2. Sources with no air pollution capture or control systems will only complete 

columns 1-3, 8, and 10 of Table 3-A; and 

Provide HAP data only for those HAP's identified with code "A" in Table 2, 

above. 

C. Complete Table 4 for any air pollution capture or control equipment identified in 

Table 3, above. 

s` 
0 

D. For calculations based on emission factors, material balances, or engineering 

principles, submit a step-by-step description of the calculations, including assumptions 

used. and a brief rationale for the validity of the calculation method used. (See 

guidance documents listed in Attachment A, Section IV). If test reports are listed as 

the basis for emissions estimates or capture system and control device efficiencies, 

provide a brief summary of the relevant tests. Include information such as the purpose 

of the test, when it was conducted, what test methods were used, and information on 

the process operation during the test. It is not necessary to submit copies of actual test 

reports at this time although EPA may request additional documentation on a plantspecific basis in the future. 

V. Factors That Affect HAP Emission Reductions 

Completion of this Section V is optional. If you choose to respond, clearly distinguish 

between pollution reduction and source reduction measures. Pollution reduction measures 

alter the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics or the volume of a HAP through a 

process or activity which itself is not integral to and necessary to produce a product or 

provide a service. The use of "add-on" devices to capture and control (recover or destroy) 

HAP emissions are considered pollution reduction measures. In contrast, source reduction 

measures reduce the amount of any HAP prior to recycling, treatment, or disposal. Source 

reduction measures include equipment or technology modifications, process or procedure 

modifications, reformulation or redesign of products, substitution of raw materials, and 

improvements in housekeeping, maintenance, training, or inventory control. 

A. For each unit operation for which pollution reduction or source reduction 

,A measures have resulted in a decrease in HAP emissions since 1987, provide the 

following information. 

Name of unit operation: 

2. Type of control or description of process change: 

~ B. If recovery or recycling of feedstocks is used, quantify the effect of the program (e.g., 

estimated annual purchase of feedstock in the absence of recovery/recycling compared 

to actual annual purchase): 

~~ 
Ij\ C. Are you aware of any alternative processes (feedstock substitutions or eliminations) or 

~ control devices that could result in fewer impacts between environmental media 

(water, air, and land) or reduced total release to all environmental media (e.g., reduced 

wastewater or solid waste)? Discuss whether these processes could be adapted to the 

brick and structural clay products manufacturing source category and any experience 

you have with them. 

VI. Miscellaneous 

A. If any control or process change described in Part V was instituted as a result of new 

1 source review requirements pursuant to 40 CFR 51.160, Subpart I, Review of New 

Sources and Modifications, provide the date at which the lowest achievable emission 

rate (LAER) came into effect: 

B. Describe any factors not addressed in the above questions that might serve to 

~ distinguish your facility from others in this source category for purposes of developing 

a separate source category or subcategory and MACT standards.

NOTES 

Raw Material Preparation Notes : 

At points 6A and 6B on the flow diagram, we add manganese dioxide to our raw material 

if we are making certain types of brick. The MSDS is attached. We have no data 

supporting a release of manganese from this operation. 

At our Sand Preparation and Sand Application points (7, 12A, 12B) we use several 

bagged kaolins and clays that we mix with various silica based sands. We have no data 

supporting a release of HAPs from these operations. 

Material Processing and Forming Notes : 

We had our raw materials tested for releases of Hydrogen Fluoride in our Plant 4 Gas 

Fired Kilns. The results are attached. It shows that there is a release of HF in our kilns 

based on the dried concentrations when compared to the fired concentrations. 

We also have had our gas fired kilns stack tested for Hydrogen Fluoride releases. The 

results are as follows : 

4.84 # HF / HR while processing 11.3 tons of material = 0.4283 #HF/Ton Material 

4.95 # HF / HR while processing 11.3 tons of material = 0.4381 #HF/Ton Material 

5.5 # HF / HR while processing 11.3 tons of material = 0.4867 #HF/Ton Material

HARMFUL IF DUSTS OR FUMES ARE INHALED. HAY.CAUSE EYE IRRITATION. 

OCCUPATIONAL CONTROL PROCEDURES 

Protectw* Equipment (Type) 

Eyes: Personal protective equipment for eyes should be worn when there is a reasonable 

probability of exposure. 

Sk,n Wear if prolonbed or repeated contact is experienced. 

When engineering or administrative controls are not feasible to control overtrwul,tion: exposure or while they are being instituted, appropriate NIOSH-approved 

respirators should be used and selected according to 29 CFR 1910.134. 

venulstion Local exhaust ventilation should be provided to keep worker exposure to fumes 

within allowable limits. 

Permissible Concentrations: 

Air: See "Composition." 

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES 

First Aid Eyes: Flush the eyes with large amounts of water, occasionally lifting the upper and 

lower eyelids. Seek medical attention. 

Skin: Wash the contaminated area with soap and water. 

ingestion: If the victim is conscious, give the person water and induce vomiting. Do 

not make an unconscious person vomit. Seek oedical'attention immediately.

PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS Code 

No. 

Ettects o1 Expowre 

Acute: Excessive inhalation of fumes from many metals can produce "metal fume fever". 

Eyes: Symptoms consist of chills and fever and come on a few hours after.large 

exposures. Harium oxide dust is considered to be a potential agent for 

dermal and nasal irritation. Clacium oxide, when in direct contact with tissues 

Skin: can cause burns and severe irritation. 

Respiratory System 

Chrornc: Excessive and prolonged inhalatiori of manganese (generally over 2 years 

exposure) can cause damage to the central nervous system. The pathology 

resembles Parkinson's Disease. Also, workers routinely exposed to high concen- 

-trations of manganese dust show an unusually high incidence of respiratory 

disease. Silica, altnnina and iron dust and fume are capable of causing 

pneumoconiosis after years of exposure.

A/'~~ 
M. Plant Operations 

A. Complete Table 1 for the most recent calendar year (unless the respondent can justify 

selection of an alternate base year) for all processes at your plant that are covered by 

the brick and structural clay products manufacturing source category. For each type of 

process (i.e., process line), provide a process flow diagram that includes all sources of 

air emissions (e.g., stack emissions, process fugitive emissions, and area fugitive 

emissions [including fugitive dust emissions]). Also include all activities that generate 

HAP emissions, including the storage, transfer, handling, and processing of the 

materials, and wastewater and solid waste handling. Indicate all feedstocks, products, 

and emissions that contain compounds that are listed in Table 2, below. Use the same 

terminology/codes in identifying unit operations and emissions points in this figure as 

you will use in completing Table 3, below. 

B. List the products, coproducts, and by-products identified in the process flow diagram 

and indicate for each how much is produced annually.

1V. HAP's--Usage and Emissions 

A. Complete Table 2 for each emission point identified in the process flow diagram(s) 

developed for Part III.A., above. For each HAP listed on the table, indicate the 

likelihood, using the codes defined in Table 2, that the HAP is emitted from a given 

emission point within the source category. Identify the appropriate emission points 

using the same terminology/codes you used in completing the process flow diagram(s) 

in Part III.A, above. 

B. Using copies of Tables 3A and 3B, complete the table for each process and emission 

point identified in Part III, with the following exceptions. 

For those emission points from units with Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA) Part B permits, it is not necessary to complete Table 3 for 

wastewater and solid waste handling operations; 

2. Sources with no air pollution capture or control systems will only complete 

columns 1-3, 8, and 10 of Table 3-A; and 

3. Provide HAP data only for those HAP's identified with code "A" in Table 2, 

above. 

C. Complete Table 4 for any air pollution capture or control equipment identified in 

Table 3, above. 

~~ / 
0 

D. For calculations based on emission factors, material balances, or engineering 

principles, submit a step-by-step description of the calculations, including assumptions 

used, and a brief rationale for the validity of the calculation method used. (See 

guidance documents listed in Attachment A, Section IV). If test reports are listed as 

the basis for emissions estimates or capture system and control device efficiencies, 

provide a brief summary of the relevant tests. Include information such as the purpose 

of the test, when it was conducted, what test methods were used, and information on 

the process operation during the test. It is not riecessary to submit copies of actual test 

reports at this time although EPA may request additional documentation on a plantspecific basis in the future. 

V. Factors That Affect HAP Emission Reductions 

Completion of this Section V is optional. If you choose to respond, clearly distinguish 

between pollution reduction and source reduction measures. Pollution reduction measures 

alter the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics or the volume of a HAP through a 

process or activity which itself is not integral to and necessary to produce a product or 

provide a service. The use of "add-on" devices to capture and control (recover or destroy) 

HAP emissions are considered pollution reduction measures. In contrast, source reduction 

measures reduce the amount of any HAP prior to recycling, treatment, or disposal. Source 

reduction measures include equipment or technology modifications, process or procedure 

modifications, reformulation or redesign of products, substitution of raw materials, and 

improvements in housekeeping, maintenance, training, or inventory control. 

A. For each unit operation for which pollution reduction or source reduction 

measures have resulted in a decrease in HAP emissions since 1987, provide the 

following information. 

1. Name of unit operation: 

2. Type of control or description of process change: 

B. If recovery or recycling of feedstocks is used, quantify the effect of the program (e.g., 

NI1 ~ estimated annual purchase of feedstock in the absence of recovery/recycling compared 

to actual annual purchase): 

~~ 7i 
m 

C. Are you aware of any alternative processes (feedstock substitutions or eliminations) or 

~ control devices that could result in fewer impacts between environmental media 

~} (water, air, and land) or reduced total release to all environmental media (e.g., reduced 

~ T wastewater or solid waste)? Discuss whether these processes could be adapted to the 

brick and structural clay products manufacturing source category and any experience 

you have with them. 

VI. Miscellaneous 

A. If any control or process change described in Part V was instituted as a result of new 

source review requirements pursuant to 40 CFR 51.160, Subpart I, Review of New 

Sources and Modifications, provide the date at which the lowest achievable emission 

rate (LAER) came into effect: 

B. Describe any factors not addressed in the above questions that might serve to 

1.~ distinguish your facility from others in this source category for purposes of developing 

a separate source category or subcategory and MACT standards.

NOTES 

Raw Material Preuaration Notes : 

At points 6A and 6B on the flow diagram, we add manganese dioxide to our raw material 

if we are making certain types of brick. The MSDS is attached. We have no data 

supporting a release of manganese from this operation. 

At our Sand /Mud Application points (11 A and 11 B) we use several bagged kaolins and 

clays that we mix with various silica based sands. We have no data supporting a release of 

HAPs at these operations: 

Material Processing and Forming Notes : 

We had our raw materials tested for releases of Hydrogen Fluoride in our Plant 9 Gas 

Fired Kilns. The results are attached. It shows that there is a release of HF in our kilns. 

We also have had two of our gas fired kilns stack tested for Hydrogen Fluoride releases. 

The results were as follows : 

Kiln 1: 4.15 #HF/HR while processing 7.7 tons of ma.terial per hour = 0.5390 #HF per 

ton of raw material processed. 

Kiln 4: 4.39 #HF/HIt while processing 8.8 tons of material per hour = 0.4989 #HF per 

ton of raw material processed.
