1.4 General Source Description

Lafarge’s Joppa facility manufactures Portland Cement. Raw materials include sources of calcium, iron, silica, and alumina. The raw materials are ground into a fine mix and are introduced
into a rotary kiln and exposed to temperatures near 3000 ° F. In the kiln, the four primary ingredients melt together and undergo chemical and mineralogical changes to produce an interim product called clinker. This clinker is a hard, black, glassy compound which does not resemble the raw materials. Gypsum is added to
the clinker and the materi als are ground to a fine powder which is the final product

- Portland Cement.

Depending on the proportions of the original raw materials, the duration and intensity of the kiln processing, and the parameters set during grinding, different cements are prod uced with distinctly different capabilities and uses.

The manufacturing process consists of the following activities:

Raw material receiving; Raw material storage; Raw material reclaim; Raw material grinding; Raw material storage and kiln feed; Pyroproce ssing (kilns); Clinker storage; Clinker reclaim; Clinker grinding; Cement storage and Cement loadout.5

Raw materials are received at the facility primarily by barge, but are also received by truck, pneuma tic pipeline, and potentially by rail. Typical raw materials include (but are not limited to) limestone, sand, clay, gypsum, bottom ah, fly ash, iron oxide, mill scale, iron slag, shale, alumina, spent industrial catalysts, foundry sand, coal tailings, an d fuels such as coal and/or petroleum coke. Raw materials unloaded also include purchased
clinker.

Materials can be transferred from barges in several ways:

Clam

- shell crane transfer to Lafarge conveyor system; Self unloading barge transfer to Lafarge c onveyor system (self

- unloading barges have built

- in conveyors to unload materials); Clam

- shell crane transfer to river

- side storage piles with subsequent transfer to appropriate storage areas using end

- loader and/or trucks; Certain raw materials, such as f lay

- ash or other powdered materials, can also be pneumatically conveyed directly to storage tanks from trucks, or, in one case, via a permanent pipeline from an adjoining power plant.

Raw Material Storage:

Raw materials re stored in several areas: Outsid e storage piles; Covered storage piles; Concrete storage bins; Enclosed steel storage tanks. In general, the larger shipments are stored either in the outside or covered storage piles where the materials can be gradually
reclaimed for use.

Raw Material Re claim:

Materials are reclaimed from storage by several methods.

Materials can be transferred via end

- loader and/or truck from covered storage piles or outside storage piles to one of several reclaim hoppers that feed various conveyors. Lafarge can also operate portable belts to transfer materials to many locations on the conveyor system. It should be noted that the reclaim hoppers and portable belts could also be used to transfer purchased materials directly to the conveyor system from trucks.20 Material s from inside storage can feed directly to conveyors via vibratory feeders located under the covered storage hall.

Materials stored in bins and tanks are fed directly to the
conveyor system.

Raw Material Grinding:

Materials are fed to the raw mill syste m by conveyors. The raw materials used by Lafarge are typically coarse and wet. The raw materials are fed into one of two 3,000 horsepower Nordberg ball mills (referred to as #1 Raw Mill and #2 Raw Mill), where hot dry gas recovered from the kiln systems (and supplemented as by natural gas furnaces) is drawn through the grinding system as the raw materials are ground. The raw mills mix and grind the raw materials to a fine consistency.

The typical feed to the raw mill consists of approximately 90 percen t limestone with the balance made of sand, clay, mill scale, bottom ash, fly ash, and other materials. In general, all raw material is added here with the exception of gypsum and clinker. However, manufacturing specifications may require the addition of gypsum or clinker into the raw mills. To assist in the grinding process, a liquid grinding aid is sometimes injected into
the raw mills.

The supply air to the raw mills can be heated to facilitate drying. Pre

- heated supply air for the #2 Raw Mill can be drawn from the #2 Clinker Cooler exhaust. For both raw mills, further heating of the supply air is performed as needed by direct

- fire, natural gas furnaces.

The raw mills are air swept. Material in the raw mills is recycled through the mills via air co nveyance, air separators, screw conveyors, and/or belt conveyors. As the materials are ground to the desired particle size, they are removed in the air separators. The resulting mixture, often referred to as kiln feed, is pneumatically conveyed to four s torage silos located near the feed and
of the kilns.

Kiln Feed Storage and Transfer to Kilns:

Kiln feed from the raw mill system is pneumatically conveyed to four large storage and blending silos located
near the feed end of the kilns. Kiln feed is then transferred to smaller surge tanks before transfer to the kilns. One feed tank, the #2 Kiln feed tank, currently can feed only the #2 Kiln. However, another surge tank, the “Schenck Feed Tank” that typically feeds to the #121 Kiln, can actually feed to ei ther kiln as part of a back

up feed system to either kiln.

A hopper and conveyor system at the feed end of the kilns allows reclaim of outside materials (typically clinker) at
the feed end of the kilns.

Coal and Coke Tank Filling Flow:

Coal and (petrole um) coke is transferred from covered storage via a system of vibratory feeders, conveyors, and a bucket elevator. As a last step before being transferred to the coal or coke tanks, the fuel is crushed
in an enclosed coal and coke crusher.

Pyroprocessing (Kilns):

Kiln Feed Flow

Both kilns at the Joppa facility are long dry kilns. Each kiln is essentially a slightly inclined rotating cylinder. Raw kiln feed is introduced into the uphill end of each
kiln while fuel and air is introduced into the downhill end. As the kiln rotates, the raw feed and combustion air
flow counter

- current.

In the #1 Kiln, kiln feed is introduced directly into the kiln via a bucket elevator. The #2 Kiln, on the other hand, is equipped with a 1

- stage preheater, where the raw
kil n feed is introduced into a series of cyclones. In the cyclones, the material flows counter

- current with the kiln exhaust, thus recovering heat from the exhaust gases to preheat the raw feed.

Once in the kilns, the materials undergo complex chemical
and physical changes. The ratio of raw kiln feed to kiln product (clinker) ranges between 1.5:1 and 1.6:1. This loss during pyroprocessing results from moisture being driven off as well as chemical reactions yielding gaseous products.

As the clinker leaves the kiln, it resembles road gravel in size and consistency, with most material typically on

the order of one

- half to one inch in diameter.

The clinker is fed directly from the kiln to the clinker cooler, where it is air

- cooled. In the clinker cooler,
the clinker travels across grates as air is blown upward through the product.

The clinker is transferred via belt conveyors from the clinker cooler to storage to await grinding.22 Fuel Combustion:

The kiln fuel consists typically of coal or petroleum
coke. In the future, Lafarge may also fire tire derived fuel in either kiln. The fuel, which has been transferred to steel tanks, is transferred by conveyors to coal mills where it is milled to a consistency that can be pneumatically transferred. The fuel is p neumatically transferred to storage tanks at the top of the kiln burner building. The transfer air is de

- dusted by one of two baghouses (one for each kiln system). From these storage tanks, the pulverized coal is pneumatically injected into
the kiln. Tr ansfer air for fuel injection into the kiln is carefully controlled to optimize the combustion conditions. In addition to the transfer air, combustion air is injected at various locations in the burner to achieve optimum flame control.

Clinker Storage:

Clinker from the clinker coolers is transferred via conveyors either to covered storage piles, covered storage bins, or directly to the steel feed tanks associated with the finish mill feed systems. From the covered storage piles, clinker can be transferr ed as needed to outside storage piles for long

- term storage.

Clinker Reclaim:

From outside storage piles, clinker can be trucked to outside crusher/reclaim systems. From covered storage piles, reclaimed clinker an be transferred via conveyors
to the con crete bins that feed the #1 Finish Mill system or the steel tanks that feed the #2 Finish Mill system.

Clinker Grinding:

Clinker and gypsum are introduced into the ball mills at a typical ratio of approximately 95:5.

Finish mill operation is very simila r to raw mill operation. The finish mills re air swept. Material in the finish mills is recycled through the mills via air conveyance, air separators, screw conveyors, and/or belt conveyors. As the materials are ground to the desired particle size, they re removed in the air separators. The resulting product, which is finished cement, is pneumatically conveyed to the storage silos.

To assist in the grinding process, water and a liquid grinding aid are injected into the finish mills
themselves.23 Cement Storage and Loadout:

Cement is conveyed pneumatically from the finish mill air separators to several storage silos. From each storage silo, the cement can be further transferred either to other storage silos, to trucks, or to barges. All conveyance of f inished cement is pneumatic.

Section 212.126 Adjusted Opacity Standards Procedures

a. Pursuant to Section 28.1 of the Environmental Protection Act ( Act) [415 ILCS 5/28.1], and in accordance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106, Subpart E, provisions for adjusted standards for visible emissions for emission units subject to Sections3

- 11 212.201, 212.202, 212.203, or 212.204 of this Part shall be granted by the Board to the extent consistent with federal law based upon a demonstration by such owner or operator that the results of a performance test conducted pursuant to this Section, Section 212.110 of this Part, and Methods 5 and 9 of 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A,
inco rporated by reference in Section 212.113 of this Part, show that the emission unit meets the applicable particulate emission limitations at the
same time that the visible emissions exceed the otherwise applicable standards of Sections 212.121 through 212.1 25 of this Subpart. Such adjusted opacity limitations:

i. Shall be specified as a condition in operating

permits issued pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code
201 and Section 39.5 of the Act;

ii. Shall substitute for that limitation otherwise

applicable;

iii. S hall not allow an opacity greater than 60

percent at any time; and

iv. Shall allow opacity for one six

- minute

averaging period in any 60 minute period to exceed the adjusted opacity standard.

b. For the purpose of establishing an adjusted opacity
standar d, any owner or operator of an emission unit which meets the requirements of subsection (a) of this Section, may request the Agency to determine the average opacity of the emissions from the emission unit during any performance tests conducted pursuant

to Section 212.110 of this Part and Methods 5 and 9 of 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by
reference in Section 212.113 of this Part. The Agency shall refuse to accept the results of emissions tests if not conducted pursuant to this
Section.

c. Any request for the determination of the average opacity of emissions shall be made in writing, shall include the time and place of the performance test and test specifications and procedures, and shall be submitted to the Agency at least thirty (30) days
befo re the proposed test date.

d. The Agency will advise the owner or operator of an emission unit which has requested an opacity determination of any deficiencies in the proposed test specifications and procedures as expeditiously as practicable but no later than ten (10) days prior3

- 12 to the proposed test date so as to minimize any disruption of the proposed testing schedule.

e. The owner or operator shall allow Agency personnel to be present during the performance test.

f. The method for determining an adjus ted opacity
standard is as follows:

i. A minimum of 60 consecutive minutes of opacity

readings obtained in accordance with Test Method 9, 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in Section 212.113 of this Part, shall be taken during each

sam pling run. Therefore, for each performance test (which normally consists of three sampling runs), a total of three sets of opacity readings totaling three hours or more shall be obtained. Concurrently, the particulate emissions data from three sampling

r uns obtained in accordance with Test
Method 5, 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in Section 212.113 of this Part, shall also be obtained.

ii. After the results of the performance tests are

received from the emission unit, the status of compliance with the applicable particulate emissions limitation shall be determined by the Agency. In accordance with Test Method 5, 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in Section 212.113 of this Part, the average of the results of the three sampling

runs must be less than the allowable particulate emission rate in order for the emission unit to be considered in compliance. If compliance is demonstrated, then only those
test runs with results which are less than the allowable particulate emission rate shall be considered as acceptable test runs for the purpose of establishing an adjusted opacity
standard.

iii. The opacity readings for each acceptable

sampling run shall be divided into sets of 24 consecutive readings. The six (6) minute

a verage opacity for each set shall be determined by dividing the sum of the 24 readings within each set by 24.

iv. The second highest six (6) minute average

opacity obtained in subsection (f)(3) of this Section shall be selected as the adjusted opacity sta ndard.3

- 13 g. The owner or operator shall submit a written report of the results of the performance test to the Agency at least thirty (30) days prior to filing a petition for an adjusted standard with the Board.

h. If, upon review of such owner's or operato r's written report of the results of the performance tests, the Agency determines that the emission unit is in compliance with all applicable emission limitations for which the performance tests were conducted, but fails to comply with the requirements of Section 212.122 or 212.123 of this Subpart, the Agency shall notify the owner or operator as expeditiously as practicable, but no later than twenty (20) days after receiving the written report of any deficiencies in the results of the performance tests.

i

. The owner or operator may petition the Board for an adjusted visible emission standard pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106.Subpart E. In addition to the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106.Subpart E, the petition shall include the following information:

i. A description of the business or activity of

the petitioner, including its location and relevant pollution control equipment;

ii. The quantity and type of materials discharged

from the emission unit or control equipment for which the adjusted standard is requested;

iii. A copy of any correspondence between the

petitioner and the Agency regarding the performance tests which form the basis of the adjusted standard request;

iv. A copy of the written report submitted to the

Agency pursuant to subsection (g) of this
Section;

v. A statement that the performance tests were

conducted in accordance with this Section and the conditions and procedures accepted by the Agency pursuant to Section 212.110 of this

Part;

vi. A statement regarding the specific limita tion

requested; and

vii. A statement as to whether the Agency has sent

notice of deficiencies in the results of the performance test pursuant to subsection (h) of this Section and a copy of said notice.3

- 14 j. In order to qualify for an adjusted standard the owner or operator must justify as follows:

i. That the performance tests were conducted in

accordance with Test Methods 5 and 9, 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in Section 212.113 of this Part, and the conditions and procedures acce pted by the Agency pursuant to Section 212.110 of this

Part;

ii. That the emission unit and associated air

pollution control equipment were operated and
maintained in a manner so as to minimize the opacity of the emissions during the performance tests; an d

iii. That the proposed adjusted opacity standard

was determined in accordance with subsection (f) of this Section.

k. Nothing in this Section shall prevent any person from initiating or participating in a rulemaking, variance, or permit appeal proceedi ng before the
Board.

1.0 Modification to existing Material Handling and Storage

1.1 Ma terial Handling and Storage System

1.1.1 Description

Portland cement manufacturing plant includes facilities for receipt of raw materials and fuels by barge, rail and truck; facilities for loading bares and trucks; conveying systems to
transfer raw mater ials and fuels to and from loading and unloading facilities; a covered storage hall for clinker and raw materials; two raw mill grinding systems; two dry process cement kilns; tow finish mill grinding systems; cement storage silos; and outdoor storage pile s for raw materials and clinker.

To improve the facility’s ability to produce quality cement in an economical manner, facility intends to undertake several changes in the plant’s material storage and handling systems. These changes will provide benefits to the facility and to the environment. The4

- 14 time and labor required transferring materials from the river barge unloading facility to their storage locations would be reduced. The emissions of particulate matter from material transfer and storage operati on will be reduced. Less material will be exposed to the
environmental elements because of the increased capacity to store and handle
material in sheltered locations.

Implementation of the material handling and storage projects will not increase the plant ’s production capacity. The changes will include modification to the river belt conveyor system; modification to the material handling system within the existing material storage
hall; construction of three silos to store
clinker in an enclosed manner; co nstruction of two process tanks to handle hot and off

- spec clinker; construction of conveyor systems to
transfer the clinker to the new silos;

location as described in the above

- referenced application. This Permit is subject to standard conditions att ached hereto and the following special conditions:

1.0 Modification to existing Material Handling and Storage

1.1 Material Handling and Storage System

1.1.1 Description

Portland cement manufacturing plant includes facilities for receipt of raw material s and fuels by barge, rail and truck; facilities for loading bares and trucks; conveying systems to
transfer raw materials and fuels to and from loading and unloading facilities; a covered storage hall for clinker and raw materials; two raw mill grinding s ystems; two dry process cement kilns; tow finish mill grinding systems; cement storage silos; and outdoor storage piles for raw materials and clinker.

To improve the facility’s ability to produce quality cement in an economical manner, facility intends to undertake several changes in the plant’s material storage and handling systems. These changes will provide benefits to the facility and to the environment. The4

- 49 time and labor required transferring materials from the river barge unloading facility to
the ir storage locations would be reduced. The emissions of particulate matter from material transfer and storage operation will be reduced. Less material will be exposed to the
environmental elements because of the increased capacity to store and handle

mate rial in sheltered locations.

Implementation of the material handling and storage projects will not increase the plant’s production capacity. The changes will include modification to the river belt conveyor system; modification to the material handling

sy stem within the existing material storage
hall; construction of three silos to store
clinker in an enclosed manner; construction of two process tanks to handle hot and off

- spec clinker; construction of conveyor systems to
transfer the clinker to the new si los;
construction of a new solid fuels outside storage area; and construction of conveyor systems for transfer of fuel to and from the new storage location.

- Guidance on Revising This Permit

The Permittee must submit an application to the Illinois EPA using the appropriate revision cla ssification in accordance with Sections 39.5(13) and (14) of the Act and 35 IAC 270.302. Specifically, there are currently three classifications for revisions to a CAAPP permit. These are:

1. Administrative Permit Amendment ;

2. Minor Permit Modificatio n ; and

3. Significant Permit Modification

.

The Permittee must determine, request, and submit the necessary information to allow the Illinois EPA to use the appropriate procedure to revise the CAAPP permit. A brief explanation of
each of these classifica tions follows.

1. Administrative Permit Amendment

• Corrects typographical errors;

• Identifies a change in the name, address, or phone number of any person identified in the permit, or provides a similar minor administrative change at the

source;

• Requires more frequent monitoring or reporting by the
Permittee;

• Allows for a change in ownership or operational control of the source where no other change in the permit is necessary, provided that a written agreement containing a specific date for transfer of

p ermit responsibility, coverage, and liability
between the current and new Permittees has been
submitted to the Illinois EPA;

• Incorporates into the CAAPP permit a construction permit, provided the conditions of the construction permit meet the requirements for the issuance of CAAPP permits; or

• Incorporates into the CAAPP permit revised limitations or other requirements resulting from the application of an approved economic incentives rule, marketable permits rule, or generic emissions trading
rule.

2. Min or Permit Modification

• Do not violate any applicable requirement;6

- 2 • Do not involve significant changes to existing monitoring, reporting, or recordkeeping requirements in the permit;

• Do not require a case

- by

- case determination of an
emission limitation or other standard, or a

source

- specific determination of ambient impacts, or a visibility or increment analysis;

• Do not seek to establish or change a permit term or condition for which there is no corresponding underlying requirement and which avoids an app licable requirement to which the source would otherwise be subject. Such terms and conditions include:

• A federally enforceable emissions cap assumed

to avoid classification as a modification under any provision of Title I of the CAA; and

• An alternative emissions limit approved

pursuant to regulations promulgated under Section 112(i)(5) of the CAA.

• Are not modifications under any provision of Title I

of the CAA; and

• Are not required to be processed as a significant permit modification.

An application f or a minor permit modification shall include the following:

• A description of the change, the emissions resulting from the change, and any new applicable requirements that will apply if the change occurs;

• The source’s suggested draft permit/conditions;

• C ertification by a responsible official that the proposed modification meets the criteria for use of minor permit modification procedures and a request that such procedures be used; and

• Information as contained on form 271

- CAAPP for the
Illinois EPA to use to notify USEPA and affected

States.

3. Significant Permit Modification

• Applications that do not qualify as either minor permit modifications or as administrative permit amendments;6

- 3 • Applications requesting a significant change in existing monitoring pe rmit terms or conditions;

• Applications requesting a relaxation of reporting or recordkeeping requirements; and

• Cases in which, in the judgment of the Illinois EPA, action on an application for modification would require
decisions to be made on technicall y complex issues.

An application for a significant permit modification shall include the following:

• A detailed description of the proposed change(s), including all physical changes to equipment, changes in the method of operation, changes in emissions of each pollutant, and any new applicable requirements which will apply as a result of the proposed change. Note that the Permittee need only submit revised forms for equipment and operations that will be
modified.

The Illinois EPA requires the information on the following appropriate forms to be submitted in accordance with the proper
classification:

• Form 273

- CAAPP, REQUEST FOR ADMINISTRATIVE PERMIT

AMENDMENT FOR CAAPP PERMIT; or

• Form 271

- CAAPP, MINOR PERMIT MODIFICATION FOR CAAPP

PERMIT; or

• Form 200

- CA APP, APPLICATION FOR CAAPP PERMIT (for

significant modification).

Application forms can be obtained from the Illinois EPA website at http://www.epa.state.il.us/air/forms.

Note that the request to revise the permit must be certified for truth, accuracy, a nd completeness by a responsible official.

Note that failure to submit the required information may require the Illinois EPA to deny the application. The Illinois EPA reserves the right to require that additional information be
submitted as needed to eva luate or take final action on applications pursuant to Section 39.5(5)(g) of the Act and 35 IAC

Timeliness

- Pursuant to Section 39.5(5)(n) of the Act and 35 IAC 270.301(d), a source must submit to the Illin ois EPA a complete CAAPP application for the renewal of a CAAPP permit not later than 9 months before the date of permit expiration of the existing CAAPP permit in order for the submittal to be deemed timely. Note that the Illinois EPA typically sends out renewal notices approximately 18 months prior to the expiration of the CAAPP permit.

The CAAPP application must provide all of the following information in order for the renewal CAAPP application to be deemed complete by the Illinois EPA:

1. A completed renewal application form 200

- CAAPP,
