Dear Mr. Welsh: 

fEB 13 2007 

Shari T. Wilson 

Acting Secretary 

The purpose of this letter is to request removal of the Maryland Slag Company 1980 Consent 

Order from Maryland's State Implementation Plan (SIP). The Consent Order, issued on October 31, 

1980, provided particulate matter offsets from the Maryland Slag Company to the Atlantic Cement 

Company. The Order (SIP # 80-04) is no longer necessary because (1) the affected facilities are located 

in an attainment area for total suspended particulate matter, (2) the Atlantic Cement Company (now 

trading as Lafarge North America) repermitted their facility showing compliance with the more stringent 

~ fine particulate matter standard (PMIO), and (3) the Maryland Slag Company (now trading as MultiServ) 

has further reduced their annual particulate matter emissions by reducing the material processed from one 

million tons annually to under 100,000 tons annually. 

Notice of a public hearing regarding this SIP action was published in the Maryland Register and 

the Baltimore Sun, the Frederick News Post, the Salisbury Daily Times, and the Cumberland Times News 

on November 13,2006. Notice of the public hearing was also published in Washington Post and the 

Dundalk Eagle on November 9, 2006 and the St. Mary's Enterprise on November 10,2006. 

The public hearing for this SIP action was held on December 14,2006. No one attended the 

hearing and no comments were received during the 30-day comment period. All administrative 

procedures were properly followed. 

If you have any questions concerning this request to remove the Maryland Slag Company 1980 

Consent Order from Maryland's SIP, please feel free to call me at (410) 537-3084 or have a member of 

your staff call Mr. George S. Aburn, Director, Air and Radiation Management Administration, at (410)

Background 

REMOVAL OF THE 

MARYLAND SLAG COMPANY 

1980 SECRETARIAL ORDER FROM 

MARYLAND'S STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 

The Maryland Slag Company (now trading as MultiServ) operates a blast furnace 

slag processing plant at the Bethlehem Steel Corporation's (now trading as ISG 

Sparrows Point) steel mill located in Sparrows Point, Baltimore County. Hot metal slag 

from Bethlehem Steel's blast furnace that is not processed by the Atlantic Cement 

Company's (now trading as Lafarge North America) granulated slag cement plant is 

allowed to cool before being sent to the Maryland Slag processing facility. At the slag 

processing facility, slag is reduced in size with a crusher and segregated into different 

group sizes by a screening operation. The processed slag material is used as an 

aggregate material in road construction and parking lots. The slag processing facility is 

subject to the requirements under CO MAR 26.11.06.04B(1) which prohibits the 

discharge of fugitive particulate matter from an iron and steel production installation 

unless reasonable control methods are employed to minimize emissions. 

In 1980, the Atlantic Cement Company proposed to construct a new slag cement 

processing facility within the confines of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation's Sparrows 

Point steel mill. At the time of the proposed project, the Sparrows Point area was in 

nonattainment for total suspended particulate (TSP). In order to construct the plant, the 

Atlantic Cement Company was required to obtain particulate emission offsets. These 

offsets were obtained from the Maryland Slag Company also located at the Sparrows 

Point facility and formalized in the October 31, 1980 Secretarial Order. The EPA 

announced approval of the offsets and formal incorporation of the Order into Maryland's 

State Implementation Plan (SIP). 

During this time period, the Maryland Slag Company was proceSSing over 

1,000,000 tons of blast furnace slag per year. 

1980 Secretarial Order Is No Longer Necessary 

On November 30, 2001, Lafarge North America demonstrated to the Department 

through a permit-to-construct for their granulated slag cement facility that their current 

operations of the slag cement facility is in compliance with the more stringent PM-10 

emission standards. In addition, the Sparrows Point area is now in attainment for TSP 

and PM-10 emissions. Finally, Maryland Slag has reduced its emissions significantly 

because of a reduction in slag processing at their facility from 1,000,00 tons to less than 

100,000 tons annually.

TECHNICAL REVIEW OF PERMIT APPLICATION 

ATLANTIC CEMENT COMPANY 

Division of Engineering 

Air Quality Programs 

September 30, 1980 
(1) 

SUMMARY 

On April 16, 1980, the Atlantic Cement Company, Inc. submitted applications 

alld information to construct a new facUity to process the slag from the ItL" blast 

furnace of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. Additional information necessary for 

technical review was requested. This information was submitted to the Department 

on April 30, 1980 and on July 1, 1980. 

The proposed facility would be located on the premises of the Bethlehem Steel 

Corporation at Sparrows Point, Maryland. This site is located within the area 

d,esignated under the Federal Clean Air Act as non-attainment with the secondary 

standard for particulate matter. In addition, the calculated particulate emissions 

f,or the proposed facUity exceeded fifty (50) tons per year. 

The technical review by the Division of Engineering included the following: 

1. Determination of the emission limitations which specify the Lowest 

Achievable Emission Rate (LAER) for the new source. 

2. Calculation of the expected particulate .emissions for the source 

(Atlantic Cement Company). 

3. Calculation of the present particulate emissions from the source 

providing the required offset (Maryland Slag Company). 

4. Calculation and technical confirmation of the proposed offset of 

particulate emissions. 

5. Determination that the proposed new source will be in compliance 

with all applicable stationary source emission regulations. 

This report includes the particulate matter emission calculations for Atlantic 

Cement and Maryland Slag, the appropriate emission offset calculations, and the Department's LAER determinations. 
(2) 

ATLANTIC CEMENT COMPANY 

LAER DETERMINATIONS 

The new Atlantic Cement Company facility must comply with the following 

determinations for the Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER): 

Granulation Plant: The Department will accept the Thyssen process as 

described in the Company's application. 

Grinding Plant and Conveying Lines: Baghouses with 991. capture efficiency 

or greater are required at all pickup points and the emissions discharged 

to the aanosphere from each baghouse may not exceed 0.02 gr/scfd. All baghouses shall be equipped with devices to detect and signal baghouse leaks 

and bag breakage. 

Roads: All roads must be paved and regularly cleaned with a street sweeper 

or similar equipment. However, the Department will accept an emulsion 

asphalt treatment if the Company can demonstrate that this treaanent can 

achieve a 901. reduction in emissions as compared to emissions from unpaved 

roads. 

Barges and Shiploading: The Department requires tight fitting telescoping 

loading spouts with aspiration to a baghouse (with 991. capture efficiency 

and 0.02 gr/scfd for discharged emissions). 

Stockpiles: 

£2!l: The Company must utilize a water sprinkling system on the coal stockpile. Water sprays must be used at the railroad car unloading and on the 

hopper loading operation. 

Granulated Slag: The Company must maintain a 101. free moisture content on 

the surface of the granulated slag stockpile to be determined using ASTM 

method C 566-78. 

Gypsum: The gypsum stockpile must be totally enclosed, such as by a 

building, silo, or other enclosure.

ATLANTIC CEMENT COMPANY 

PARTICULATE EMISSION CALCULATIONS 

A. Slag Granulating Process: 

Process includes all operations beginning with molte~ slag from "t" blast furnace 

into hot runners and ending with wet granulated slag loaded onto trucks. 

1. Granulation System: 

Company's application consists of an enclosed system for hot runners, 

blowing boxes, cold runners, and agitating tanks controlled by spray towers. 

Application represents virtually no particulate discharge to atmosphere. 

No particulate emissions calculated for this operation. 

2. Granulated Slag from Agitating Tanks to Filter Beds: 

Granulated slag is in slurry form. No particulate emissions calculated. 

3. Slag from Filter Beds Until Loaded onto Trucks: 

Company's application states that moisture content of slag is reduced to 

about l21. in filter beds. Handling of this material should result in minimal 

particulate emissions. No particulate emissions calculated. 

B. Slag Grinding and Mixing Process: 

Process includes all operations beginning with the receiving of granulated slag 

in trucks together with receiving coal and gypsum and ending with the loading of 

barges with the final product. 

1. Slag from Trucks, Storage, Conveyed to Dryer: 

Using formula in TM 80-01 for stockpiles: 

Ty = 850,000 

Ts = 40,000 

s = 11. (from application) 

Emissions = (s)(0.0581 Ty + 0.208 Ts) ~ 365 

Assume moisture content of slag and water sprays when needed will reduce 

emissions by 90% (from uncontrolled). 

Therefore, particulate emissions = 16 Ibs./day 

2. Coal ,md Gypsum Storage, Conveyed to Screen: 

Coal: 

- Ty ::: 18,000 

Ts :::: 2,000 

s :::: 6.5~ (assumed)

MARYLAND SLAG COMPANY 

PARTICULATE MATTER CALCULATIONS 

The following calculations use emission factors (AP-42) consistent with crushing, 

sc:reening, and conveying operations across the State. Plants operate 255 days per 

y~~ar • 

Au Air-Cooled Plant (Crushing, Screening, and Conveying Only): 

Assume plant handles 1,000,000 tons per year of blast furnace slag. 

Primary Crushing, Etc.: 

1 x 106 tons/year x 0.1 lb./ton x year/255 days. 392 lbs./operating day 

Secondary Crushing, Etc.: 

1 x 106 tons/year x 0.6 lb./ton x year/255 days - 2,353 lbs./operating day 

Tertiary Crushing, Etc.: (501. goes through crushers) 

1,000,000 tons/year x 0.50 x 3.6 lbs./ton x year/255 days = 7,059 lbs./operating day 

Total Uncontrolled Emissions • 9,804 lbs./operating day 

Assume existing water spray system has an over-all efficiency of 701. in particulate 

suppression. 

Therefore, present emissions - 2,941 lbs./operating day 

B. Light-Weight Plant (Crushing, Screening, and Conveying Only): 

Assume plant handles 400,000 tons per year of blast furnace slag. 

Primary Crushing, Etc.: 

400,000 tons/year x 0.1 lb./ton x year/255 days = 157 lbs./operating day 

Secondary Crushing, Etc.: 

400,000 tons/year x 0.6 lb./ton x year/255 days = 941 lbs./operating day 

Tertiary Crushing, Etc.: (30% goes through crushers) 

400,000 tons/year x 0.30 x 3.6 lbs./ton x year/255 days = 1,694 Ibs./operating day 

Total Uncontrolled Emissions : 2,792 Ibs./operating day 

Assume existing water spray system has an over-all particulate suppression efficiency of 70'7 •• 

Therefore, ?resent ~missions = 338 lba./operating day 

C. Total Particulate Emissions from Air-Cooled and Lisht-Wei6ht Crushing Plants ~ 3,779 lba./operating day 
(B) 

OFFSET CALCULATIONS 

A. Particulate emissions from proposed Atlantic Cement Company facility 

~ 1,042 lbs./operating day 

Reasonable Further Progress (RFP) is satisfied by a total particulate emission 

offset of at least 110t. 

Required offset emissions ~ 1.1 x 1,042 

~ 1,146 Ibs./operating day 

B,. Particulate emissions from Maryland Slag air-cooled and light-weight crushing 

plants ~ 3,779 lbs./day 

The use of a chemical wetting agent in the existing water spray system together 

with winterizing the spray system will increase the particulate suppression efficiency by at least lOt. This increases the over-all efficiency to over B01.. 

If a conservative estimate is made of an BOt efficiency, the total emissions 

are reduced to 2,519 Ibs./day for a total additional particulate emissions 

reduction of 1,260 Ibe./operating day. 

C. Conclusion: Sufficient offsets are available. 

Offset Ratio ~ 1,260/1,042 ~ 1.2

DISCUSSION ON AMBIENT AIR QUALITY 

Air Quality Control Programs performed a screening level analysis using approved 

mod.eling techniques to determine the effect upon ambient air quality of the proposed 

new Atlantic Cement Company facility and the associated emission reductions from the 

Maryland Slag Company facility. The modeling parameters used in the analysis are included here. 

The analysis basically showed that at the proposed conditions, the Total Suspended 

Particulate (TSP) levels on both a short-term (24-hour) and an annual basis will be 

lower than levels currently achieved. In additionJ since the TSP level decreases are 

well within normal modeling error tolerances, a more sophisticated modeling effort will 

be of no benefit. 

Air Quality Control Programs is satisfied that air quality levels in the area 

affected by the proposed new source will be improved by the combination of the new 

Atlantic Cement Company facility and the changes in the existing Maryland Slag Company 

facility.

Annual TSP Average 

At all sites at which we monitor TSPand at all locations where the present 

modeling technique estimates TSP 'levels, the levels of particulate caused by the 

pll:'oposed operations were equal to or less than the levels caused by the present 

operation. Two points should, however, be noted. First, size distributions were 

not available and this could alter the modeling results somewhat. Second, even 

though the modeling indicated that the proposed operations should cause a decrease 

in ambient particulate levels, the absolute ranges of most of the decreases are 

within the error of most modeling techniques. Thus, a more sophisticated modeling 

effort would not significantly increase the accuracy of our present estimates. 

Short-Term (24-hour) TSP Levels 

Modeling at several equidistant points indicated that the proposed operations 

would create ambient levels of TSP less than the levels created by the present 

operations. Again, two points should be noted. First, size distribution'of the 

emitted particulates would influence the dispersion characteristics of the particles. 

Second, due to the spatial differences between the two major points of reduction and 

new production of emitted particulates, it is possible that several specific points 

(all of which, most likely, will be over the water) may experience short-term levels 

that wquld be higher under the proposed system than under the old system. The genera. 

all:'ea as a whole, however, should experience short-term levels lower under the proposed 

system than under the old system. 

Conc lus ions 

Preliminary modeling techniques indicate that the proposed facilities should 

not cause an increase of TSP levels in the region, and they will probably cause a 

slight reduction, in the TSP levels for the region. Also, the decreases are within 

normal modeling tolerances and a more sophisticated modeling effort would not 

s:Lgnificantly add to our knowledge of the calculated reductions.

NOTICE OF A PUBLIC HEARING 

The Maryland Department of the Environment gives notice of a public heac:. 

ing concerning the removal of the Maryland Slag Company Secretarial Order 

from Maryland's State Implementation Plan (SIP). The Secretarial Order, issued 

on October 31, 1980, provided particulate matter offsets from the Maryland 

Slag Company to the AUantic Cement Company. The Order is no longer necessary because (1) the affected facilities are located in an attainment area for Iotal 

suspended particulate matter, (2) the Atlantic Cement Company (now trading 

as Lafarge North America) repermitted their facility shOWing compliance with 

the more stringent hne particulate matter standard (PM10), and (3) the 

Maryland Slag Company (now trading as MultiServ) has further reduced their 

annual particulate matter emissions by reducing the material processed from 

one million tons annually to under 100,000 tons annually. 

A request to remove the 1980 Maryland Slag Company Secretarial Order 

from the Maryland SIP will be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) for approval. 

A public hearing on this action will be held on December 14,2006 at 10 a.m. 

at the Department of Environment, 1800 Washington Boulevard, 1st Floor 

Aqua Conference Room, Baltimore, Maryland 21230-1720, 

Interested persons are invited to attend and express their views. Written 

comments may be mailed to Deborah Rabin, Regulations Coordinator, Air & 

Radiation Management Administration, Department of the Environment, 1800 

Washington Boulevard, Baltimore, MD 21230. Comments may also be faxed to 

Deborah Rabin at 410-537-4223 or submitted via email to drabin@ 

mde.state.md.us. Comments must be received no later than DecembEir 14, 

2006 or be submitted at the hearing. For more information, call Deborah Rabin 

at 410-537-3240. 

Copies of supporting documents lor this action are available for review at the 

following locations: The Air & Radiation Management Administration; regional 

offices of the Department in Cumberland and Salisbury; all local air quality control offices; and local health departments in those counties not having separate 

air quality control offICeS. 

Anyone needing special acconunodations at the public hearing should contact the Departmenfs Fair Practices Office at 410-537-3964. TTY users may
