Re: Compliance Testing Delays

On July 28, 2008 the Air Pollution Control Division ("Division") received your letter enumerating the "force majeure" events
that have delayed completion of the compliance testing required by the various New Source Performance Standard (NSPS)
and Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) requirements applicable to the recently completed GCC Rio Grande
cement plant near Pueblo, Colorado. Startup of the plant was achieved in February 2008, which sets the 180-day
NSPS/MACT compliance deadlines in August 2008. According to your letter, however, multiple unforeseen malfunctions
and delays have precluded the facility from performing the initial compliance testing required by NSPS Subparts F, Y, 000
and MACT Subpart LLL (as applicable) within 180 days from plant startup.
The Division has reviewed your letter and, pursuant to 40 CFR Part 60.8(d), hereby grants GCC Rio Grande, Inc. until
October 23, 2008 to submit the required NSPS initial compliance testing. Pursuant to 40 CFR Part 63.7(b)(2), the Division
grants GCC Rio Grande, Inc. until December 9, 2008 to submit the required MACT initial compliance testing.
Notwithstanding the above, GCC Rio Grande, Inc. remains responsible for operating in compliance with all terms of
Construction Permit 98PB0893. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Regards,
Matthew Parks
