TITLE 326 AIR POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) has developed draft rule language for amendments to rules at 326 IAC 6.8 and 326 IAC 7 concerning the particulate matter and sulfur dioxide emission limitations at Cargill, Incorporated (Cargill) in Hammond, Indiana. By this notice, IDEM is soliciting public comment on the draft rule language. IDEM seeks comment on the affected citations listed and any other provisions of Title 326 that may be affected by this rulemaking.

First Notice of Comment Period: July 1, 2009, Indiana Register (DIN: 20090701-IR-326090476FNA).

Cargill owns and operates corn processing and oilseed processing facilities that produce a number of value-added products including vegetable oil, starch, sweeteners, germ, ethanol, and animal feed. Production of these products results in emissions of regulated air pollutants including nitrogen oxide (NO_x), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs).

Cargill Texturizing Solutions, located in Hammond, Indiana, is one of Cargill's Food Ingredients Business Units. Cargill Texturizing Solutions supplies texturizers and emulsifiers to the food and beverage industry, as well as the pharmaceutical and cosmetics markets.

Cargill entered into a consent decree, lodged in the United States District Court in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with U.S. EPA and certain state and local regulatory agencies on September 1, 2005. This consent decree will result in a reduction of approximately 30,000 tons of pollution a year and set new standards for limiting harmful emissions from specialty oilseed plants. Pursuant to the consent decree, Cargill, through installation of pollution control technologies and implementation of emission reduction projects (including emission unit elimination) was required to demonstrate 90% control efficiency or less than or equal to 20 parts per million (ppm) concentration of SO₂ for the Germ Dryer (124-A-01) and the Gluten Dryer System (121-01-G). Cargill was required to test the Carbon Regen Furnace (104-01-R) while operating at an average pH range of the Germ Dryer (124-A-01) and the Gluten Dryer System (121-01-G) to establish an emission rate for SO₂. Cargill was also required to test the Fiber Dryer and Drying Equipment (89-01-G) while operating at the approved operating range set forth in the consent decree to establish an emission rate for SO₂.

In addition, pursuant to Paragraph 27 of the consent decree, Cargill was required to submit a formal request with IDEM to amend rule 326 IAC 7-4.1-5 to incorporate new SO₂ emission limits for the Germ Dryer (124-A-01), Gluten Dryer System (121-01-G), Carbon Regen Furnace (104-01-R), and Fiber Dryer and Drying Equipment (89-01-G).

The Germ Dryer First Stage (21-A-02), Germ Dryer Second Stage (51A-02), Rotary Feed Dryer (89-03), and the Waxy Feed Drum Dryer (124-01) were removed from the facility's Part 70 Operating Permit by Significant Permit Modification 089-25259-00203, issued on June 9, 2008. Furthermore, Boilers 6, 7, 8, and 10 were required by Significant Permit Modification 089-22333-00203 to be decommissioned once Package Boiler #1 became operational. The initial start-up of Package Boiler #1 was on February 2, 2007, and Boilers 6, 7, 8, and 10 have ceased operation and have been permanently decommissioned. In Cargill's currently pending Part 70 Operating Permit renewal, Cargill has requested that Boilers 6, 7, 8, and 10 be removed from the permit.

In this rulemaking, IDEM proposes to amend Cargill's SO₂ emission limitations listed in 326 IAC 7-4.1-5 to incorporate the new SO₂ emission limits that were set in the consent decree and to remove the emissions units that are no longer in operation at Cargill. In addition, IDEM proposes to amend, for clarification purposes, the PM emission limitations listed at 326 IAC 6.8-2-8 to strike from the draft rule language those units Cargill has shut down. Upon completion of the rulemaking, this rule will be submitted to the U.S. EPA for approval as a revision to the state implementation plan.

No element of the draft rule imposes either a restriction or a requirement on persons to whom the draft rule applies that is not imposed under federal law.

The amendments to Cargill's SO₂ emission limitations will incorporate the new SO₂ emission limits that were set in the consent decree. These changes have already occurred at Cargill; therefore, no additional economic impact will occur from the implementation of these amendments.

The amendments to update Cargill's PM emission limitations are for clarification purposes to reflect the fact that some of the listed emissions units are no longer in operation at Cargill. Therefore, IDEM does not expect any economic impact from the implementation of these amendments.

IDEM established a compliance and technical assistance (CTAP) program under IC 13-28-3. The program provides assistance to small businesses and information regarding compliance with environmental regulations. In accordance with IC 13-28-3 and IC 13-28-5, there is a small business assistance program ombudsman to provide a point of contact for small businesses affected by environmental regulations. Information on the CTAP program, the monthly CTAP newsletter, and other resources available can be found at:
