• <br />CDPH6E - 5 - February 9, 1996 <br />Fugitive emissions caused by hauling from the temporary gob pile <br />to the permanent gob pile were estimated using emission factors <br />from Table 6.24-2. The number of wheels, w, is 10, and the road <br />surface silt loading is 40.8 g/m', the geometric mean found in <br />Table 8.24-3. Uncontrolled emission factors are estimated to be <br />35.335 lblVMT and 11.583 lblVMT for TSP and PM10, respectively. <br />These result in uncontrolled emissions of 650.17 tons/year TSP <br />and 213.13 tons/year PM10. With a control efficiency of 508 for <br />graveled roads, estimated controlled emissions are 325.08 <br />tons/year TSP and 106.56 tons/year PM10. Uncontrolled emissions <br />estimates for on-site final transport of coal, using emission <br />factors of 260.70 lb/VMT TSP and 90.55 lb/VMY PM10, are 1594 <br />tons/year TSP and 553.75 tons/year PM10. Estimates of controlled <br />emissions are 797.1 tons/year TSP and 276.8 tons/year PM10. <br />Estimated uncontrolled emission factors for employee traffic and <br />service and delivery traffic are also found from Table 8.24-2, <br />light/medium duty traffic, with material moisture content, M, <br />equal to the geometric mean of 1.28 from Table 8.24-3. <br />Uncontrolled emission factors are 2.7922 lb/VMT TSP and 1.234 <br />lb/VMT PM10. The uncontrolled emissions are calculated to be <br />155.29 tons/year TSP and 68.63 tons/year PM10. For a control <br />efficiency of 508 for graveled roads, the controlled emissions <br />• are 77.64 tons/year TSP and 34.31 tons/year PM10. <br />Total estimated uncontrolled fugitive emissions are 3,021 <br />tons/year TSP and 1,033 tons/year PM10. Controlled fugitive <br />emissions are estimated to be 1,553 tons/year TSP and 521 <br />tons/year PM10. <br />Processing Unit Permit Applications <br />Also enclosed are six APENs and applications for permits for <br />three screens, a rotary breaker, a double roll crusher, and a <br />loadout silo. <br />The throughput rate of the first screen is 1,950,000 tons/year. <br />The uncontrolled emission factors used are 0.10 lb/ton for TSP <br />and 0.028 lb/ton for PM10, as given on page 15 of the July 2, <br />1984, Tistinic memorandum. A control efficiency of 94.4$ for <br />water spray bars was recommended by R. K. Hancock, III, Public <br />Health Engineer of Colorado Department of Public Health and <br />Environment, in his December 7, 1995, fax letter to our office. <br />Estimated uncontrolled emissions are 195.0 tons/year TSP and 54.6 <br />tons/year PM10, with controlled emissions estimated at 10.92 <br />tons/year TSP and 3.058 tons/year PM10. <br />The same emission factors and control efficiency apply to the <br />remaining two screens. The screen with a throughput rate of <br />• 1,925,000 tons/year has estimated uncontrolled emissions of 192.5 <br />tons/year TSP and 53.9 tons/year PM10. Controlled emissions are <br />estimated to be 10.78 tons/year TSP and 3.018 tons/year PM10. <br />
