NOTICE OF FINAL ACTION FOR THE ISSUANCE OF AN

EMISSION REDUCTION CREDIT CERTIFICATE AND AUTHORITIES TO CONSTRUCT

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Air Pollution Control Officer has issued an emission reduction credit certificate to the A.L. Gilbert Company (dba: Berry Seed and Feed) for the installation of PM10 control equipment and Authorities to Construct for the installation of grain processing equipment.

All comments received for Project #s 950107 & 9501 08 following the District's preliminary decision were addressed. All relevant comments were incorporated into the Application Reviews, which are available for public inspection at the SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY UNIFIED AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT, NORTHERN REGION OFFICE, 4230 KIERNAN AVE., SUITE 130, MODESTO, CA 95356 (209) 545-7000.

Contact Name: Richard Mueller Phone: (209) 537-0766

Project Number: 950107 Certificate Number: N-104-4

Date Application Received Date Application Deemed Complete:

01 March 1995 07 April 1995

SUMMARY I.

A.L. Gilbert is applying for emission reduction credits (ERC's) for a reduction in emissions which occurred as a result of the installation of PMlO control equipment to control emissions from a rail car receiving pit and from the equipment that transfers grain from the pit to storage. The installation of the equipment to control emissions from transferring grain to storage was authorized by Authority to Construct (NC) N- 1758-15-1. The installation of the equipment to control emissions from receiving grain to storage was authorized by A/C N-1758-15-2.

A portion of the actual emission reductions (AER's) will be used to offset the entire stationary source NSR balance for PMlO as determined in the review of applications N-1758-26-0, 27-0, 28-0, & 154. Pending a determination of compliance with District Rule 2301: Emission Reduction &&& E!a&g and public notification, an ERC certificate will be issued to A.L. Gilbert Company for all reductions in excess of those required to offset the NSR balance for PM10. The certificate will reflect the following amount of emission reductions:

4431 Jessup Road, Keyes

Iv. METHODQFGENERATINGREDUCTIONS

The reduction in PMlO emissions was achieved by adding equipment to control emissions from a previously uncontrolled operation. The first operation, a rail car receiving pit was enclosed and the enclosure was ducted to a baghouse. The second operation, which includes conveying equipment to transfer grain from the receiving pit to storage, is now operated under a vacuum and the air being evacuated is ducted to two baghouses. One of the two baghouses involved is the same unit that serves the rail receiving pit enclosure.

v. CALCULATIONS

A. Assumptions and Emission Factors

1. Transfer to Storage (N-1758-15-1)

Both the uncontrolled and controlled emission factors for this operation will be taken from the review of application N-1758-15-1. They are as follows:

Uncontrolled: 0.44 Ibs/ton Controlled: 4.4e-03 Ibs/ton

The uncontrolled PMlO emission factor is based on the emission factor from AP42, Table 6.4-1 for a headhouse. The AP42 emission factor is for total particulate matter. It is assumed that PMlO emissions are 29% of the total particulate emissions4.

The controlled emission factor is based on the uncontrolled emission factor and a control efficiency of 99 % .

4 PMIO Marmal. Table V-2

Page 2 of 8 16-Web-96 12:OS

2. Receiving Pit (N-1758-15-2)

Both the uncontrolled and controlled emission factors for this operation will be taken from the review of application N-1758-15-2. They are as follows:

Uncontrolled: 0.17 Ibs/ton Controlled: 1.7e-03 lbs/ton

YEAR 1990 1991 1992

Average

The uncontrolled PMlO emission factor is based on the emission factor from AP42, Table 6.4-1 for grain receiving. The AP42 emission factor is for total particulate matter. It is assumed that PMlO emissions are 29% of the total particulate emissions'.

The controlled emission factor is based on the uncontrolled emission factor and a control efficiency of 99%.

B. Baseline Period Determination

As per policy NSWERC 10-2, for reductions authorized by a previous Authority to Construct, the baseline emissions shall be selected from a period as prescribed in Rule 2201 immediately preceding the date on which the N C authorizing the reduction was deemed complete.

N C N-1758-15-1 was deemed complete on 28 September 1992. The baseline period for this emission unit will be the eight quarter period ending with the last complete quarter prior to the completed application for the A/C authorizing the reduction. Specifically, the baseline period will be from 1 July 1990 thru 30 June 1992.

N C N-1758-15-2 was deemed complete on 15 June 1992. The baseline period for this emission unit will be the eight quarter period ending with the last complete quarter prior to the completed application for the N C authorizing the reduction. Specifically, the baseline period will be from 1 April 1990 thru 31 March 1992.

NET AVAILABLE FOR

A portion of the available emission reductions will be used to offset the source's NSR balance for PMlO to zero. The amount of offsets required was determined in the review of applications N-1758-264, 274 ,284 , & 154. Thus, the amount of reductions used to offset the NSR balance for PMlO will be subtracted from the total actual emission reductions that are available for use as offsets. The remainder will be banked.

VI. COMPLIANCE

In order to insure compliance with Rule 2301, all emission reductions must meet the following criteria to be bankable.

A. Real

The proposed emission reductions occurred as a result of the addition of control equipment to control PMlO emissions from a rail receiving pit and the equipment used to transfer grain from the receiving pit to storage. The emissions were calculated based on logs of the amount of material received at the receiving pit for each quarter of the baseline period. The District is, therefore, satisfied that the emissions in the amounts calculated did indeed occur. Therefore, the reductions are real.

B. Enforceable

The Permits to Operate and all subsequent Permits to Operate for the equipment from which the reduction in emissions was generated will contain enforceable conditions which limit the controlled PMlO emission concentrations to the values used to quantify the reduction in emissions. As required by District policy NSWERC 22-1, the PMlO emission limits are performance based limitations in pounds of PMlO per ton of product received.

Page 6 of 8 16-Web-96 11:19

The performance based limitations will ensure that the minimum control efficiencies for the modified equipment will be maintained at all throughputs without affecting the potential capacity of the receiving and storage equipment. The conditions specifying the performance based limitations will include language stating that the conditions are to enforce the emission reductions from this project. This addition will ensure the enforceability of the emission reduction credits for all future actions pertaining to the Permit to Operate. The performance based conditions to enforce the PMlO emission reductions from this project are as follows:

The PMlO emissions from receiving shall not exceed 1.7e-03 pounds per ton of material received. This performance based limit is to enforce the PMlO emission reductions granted by certificate N-1044.

The PMlO emissions from transferring material to storage shall not exceed 4.4e-03 pounds per ton of material received. This performance based limit is to enforce the PMlO emission reductions granted by certificate N-1044.

To exceed these performance based limitations would be a violation of District rules. Therefore, the reductions are enforceable.

C . Quantifiable

The emissions were calculated based on the quarterly amount of material received, emission factors approved by the EPA, and minimum control efficiencies that are required by permit conditions. Therefore, the reductions are quantifiable.

D. Permanent

As was previously stated, the reduction in emissions was achieved by installing equipment to control PMlO emissions from two processes at this source. This control equipment will be required to remain installed and operational at all times. The equipment may not be removed or altered without first obtaining authorization from the District. Therefore, the reductions are pemnnent.

E. Surplus

The installation of the new control equipment was not the result of any current or proposed rule. Therefore, the reductions are surplus.

Page 7 of 8 16-Peb-96 11:.9

F. Timeliness

The application for ERC’s was submitted after the issuance of the NC’s which authorized the reduction in emissions and prior to implementation of those NC’s. Therefore, the application for ERC’s was submitted within the required 180 days from the date of reduction.

Issue an Emission Reduction Credit Certificate to the A.L. Gilbert Company for a reduction in PMlO emissions which occurred as a result of the installation of equipment to control PMlO emissions from a rail receiving pit and from grain transferring equipment at 4431 Jessup Road in Keyes. The certificate will reflect the following amount of reductions:

Attn. Mr. Anthony Mendes

Reference: A) My letter dated 2/28/95 with 4 ATC applications and an ERC application.

B) Your letter dated 312 I /95 requesting additional infoimation Application # N-104-4

Dear Ar. Mendes.

Enclosed is the additional information requested by reference (B). The information submitted summarizes the total grain and pellets received by quarter from 1990 through 1992. Our records indicate the ATC # N-1758-15-2 was deemed complete 6/15/92 therefore tlie logical pel-iod for determining the credit would be the two year period ending 6/30/92.

As discussed during our phone conversation yesterday. we have records of actual products received in both monthly totals and by individual shipments by rail car number and truck by each individual product but are somewhat reluctant to provide that detail of data for public record. I would be happy to show you that inrorniation upon your request.

I t is requested that the actual production numbers within the enclosure be held confidential as inuch as possible. Hopefully tlie ahove will provide iiie necessary information fur the evaluation of the requested EMISSION REDUC'I'ION CREDIT. Should you have any questions or require any additional information. don't hesitate to call.

Thank you for your assistance.
