MR, S~UDER: Good evenino.

just a couple of minutes a£~e~ 7:00, so we're going

to go anead and get started tnis evening. Can you

hear me in the back?

AUDIENCE MEMBER: Barely.

MR. STUDER: Okay. My name is Dean

Studer, and I'm the hearing officer for the Illinois

Environmental Protection Agency. On behalf of

Director Doug Scott, I welcome you to tonight's

hearing. My purpose tonight lS to ensure that these

proceedings run properly, according ~o rules, and

that the hearing is conducted in a fair but efficient

manner. Personally I will not be responding to

specific technical issues related to the permit, but

will defer such issues to the ~echnical staff with me

tonight up here on the hearing panel.

This is an informational hearing before

the Illinois EPA in the matter of a new air pollution

control construction permit, PSD approval for

Mississippi Lime Company for a lime manufacturing

plant to be located near Prairie Du Rocher. The

plant will be located on the site of its existing

limestone mine.

The plant will produce lime by

calcination or high temperature roasting of crushed

The kilns will be heated

chroueh the combustion of SOlld fuel, notably

oowdered cOQl and coke, with ore-heaters used to

orovide greater efficiency.

The plant would be a major source for

emissions of sulfur dioxide, otherwise referred to as

S02' nitrogen oxide, referred to as NO , carbon x

monoxide (CO) and Particulate Matter, PM, P M anal .. 10 '

PM under federal rules for Prevention of2. 5,

Significant Deterioration, referred to as PSD. And

those regulations are found in 40 CFR Section 52.21,

as emissions of these pollutants would be above

significant emission thresholds established in these

regulations.

The Illinois EPA has made a oreliminarv-- ~

determination that the project meets the requirements

ror obtaining a permit for the project and has

prepared a draft permit for review. The Illinois EPA

is holding this hearing for the purpose of accepting

comments from the public on the proposed issuance of

a oermit for this project prior to actually making a

final decision on this application.

MR. PATEL: Good evening, ladies and

gentlemen. Welcome to this evening's hearing. My

name is Minesh Patel. I am a permit engineer with

the Bureau of Air. I will be giving you a brief

description of the proposed project.

Mississippi Lime Company has requested

a construction permit for a lime manufacturing plant

ac its existing limestone mine located near Prairie

Du Rocher. The proposed plane would include two

pre-heater rotary kilns, storage and handling systems

for limestone, fuel, and lime, and lime hydrating

systems.

As Mr. Studer has explained, the lime

plant is subject to federal regulations for

Pr~vention of Significant Deterioration of air

quality, PSD. This is because potential emissions of

par~i~~l2c~ matter would b~ greate~ ~han 100 ~ons Der

Accoroingly, the plane must use th~ Best

Available Cont.rol Technology, referred to as BAC'T, to

control it.s emissions of these pollutants.

For particulate emissions from the

kilns, the BACT would be provioed by fabric filters

or baghouses, whi~h are generally considered the most

effect:ve control technology for th~ partic~late

emissions from kilns.

For emissions of other pollutancs from

the kilns, BACT would be provided by the pre-heaters,

which would lower the fuel consumption of the kilns.

In addition, NO emissions from the kilns would be x

minimized by combustion management, which would

reduce the peak flame zone temperature.

emissions are controlled by natural scrubbing by

limestone and lime dust in the kilns, which is then

captured by the fabric filters or baghouses. CO

emissions would be minimized with good combustion

practices.

For emission units involved in handling

and storage of limestone, solid fuel, and lime would

be provided by operating Dractices to prevent

emissions and, for the lime product, baghouses.

MR. PATEL: Sorry about that. The

proposed permit establishes appropriate testing,

requirements. It also includes requirements for

monoxide, and opacity.

These activities would be overseen by

Wolr o very excited at Mississippi Lime

to take this next step in the process to move forward

with our permit application. This has been a

three-year process for us thus far, and there's been

a lot of excellent work between a variety of

regulatory agencies, Mississippi Lime folks who are

here tonight, the community, and all of those who

either support or possibly don't support the permit

application.

Products from this plant will be used

in a variety 0: ways throughout the nation, lncluding

businesses such as s"C.eel production, water treatment,

paper making, orange juice production. You don't

know maybe about all of those, but sometimes lime lS

used in orange juice production and things of that

nature.

One of the primary uses may be for

scrubbing emissions from power plants, so that the

material that we produce here in Prairie Du Rocher

will be shipped to become a scrubbing agent and clean

UD the emissions from power plants along the Ohio

River and other places throughout the United States.

So we're very excited about the

MR. DO::::RON: D-O-I-R-O-N.

mo~,:hs ago, a ~epresentativE: 0: Mississippi Lime

with me and our village clerk, discussi~g the

possibility of a new plant. And since that time, we

have had a~ ongoing discussion with our Village

Board. A~ our last November board mee~ing, the

Village Board una~imously passed a resolution in full

SUDDort and approval 0: the proposed plant.

To get a different opinion, I contacted

St. Genevieve Chamber of Commerce, Dena Krei t Le r . the

execucive director. Her response on the pnonewas

very favorable concerning Mississippi Lime, who have

been a neighbor of the St. Genevieve community for

over a hundred years. And she also followed up with

a letter, which Jill alluded to, but 1 'm just going

to read the actual, not the whole letter, to keep it

short..

But she said: Mississippi Lime has

been a part of our history and growth for over 100

years. I truly believe that should your community be

so fortunate to have this company grow and expand in

your community, everyone wins. Not only will it

create jobs, it will also create economic develoDment

and many other opportunities within your region.

impressed how clean i~ was. And I was even mo~s

impressed when I watched the computers, which control

the data, to make sure that they a~o in compliance

with all the EPA regulations. I would wish that

everyone could tour the plant. I would think you

would come away with a very good impression. The new

technology which they showed us is the technology

they're gonna' use a~ this plant he~e in Prairie Du

believes, that Mi~sissippi Lime is a company owned

and ope~a~ed by good people se~ving the St. Genevieve

area for ove~ a hund~ed years, providing employment

and healthcare, health insurance.

And we have people I had a lady come

to me this week and say, We are gonna' lose

everything, 'cause my husband just lost his job. And

we need employment in this area. The economic

development and the potential for employment with a

good solid company, Mississippi Lime Company, is what

we need. Thank. you.

The ~S}:: perso~ lS Ka~h~r And~ia.

MS. KATHY ANDRIA: My name ~s Ka~hy

J!.nd::-ia, p.-N-D-R-I-A. I don't have formal comments ac

this point, but T do have some questions. I will ask

a few of the questions, and then I'll come back. I'm

President of American Bottom Conse~vancy, and I'm the

Conse::-vation Chair for the Kaskaskia Group of ~ne

Sierra Club.

T ce~tainly appreciate the need for

jobs in this town, and we are not here to not support

the plant We are here ~o support bet~er controls.

And I would remind people that whenever there are

controls, more better c o n c r o Ls . those controls have

to be maintained, and there are jobs in producing

controls, and there are jobs in maintaining

concrol$.

We sit here across from St. Genevieve

County, which has the, one of the world's largest

cement kilns. The area is already non-attainment for

fine particulates, PM in Madison, St. Claire, andr- ,- ·-2 .:::J

Monroe County and part of Randoloh County, Baldwin

Township.

I'm wondering, first of all, USEPA in

their guidance for lime manufacturing, says that the

rotary kiln ~hich is proposed here is the second

WDrs~ lTI uncon~rolled PM emiss2ons, and ~hat

f~uidized Deus nave the highes~ levels of

uncontrolled PM emissions.

And I'm Just wondering whether

consideration had been given by the company or by the

agency toward requiring stronger controls, because it

is my understanding that if the area, if this part of

Randolph Councy becomes non-attainment for fine

particulates, that that will, that will have a severe

imDact on future development. So I was wondering if

fluidized beds had been considered as a control, as a

separat~ kind of u'se iO.r the kiln.

MR. ROMAINE: I did not quite follow

the comment that you were making. You were

commenting about the uncontrolled emissions of

different types of plants?

MS. ANDRIA: I'm commenting well,

first I was commenting,, just to let you know that we

sit across from St. Genevieve County. And my

understanding from Missouri DNR is St. Genevieve

County is going to be also non-attainment for fine

particulates. We're already non-attainment for fine

particulates.

And 1 'm just wondering why we're not,

to protect the people who live here, to protect the

4 which has a better control, from what I understand,

5 since the rotary is the second worst.

6 MR. ROMAINE: Okay. I guess I still

don't understand the question, be2ause you des2ribed

8a technology that had higher uncontrolled emissions.

10 MS. ANDRIA: You're right. I'm reading

my notes wrong, and I apologize. I will come back

12 with that question.

13 MR. ROMAINE: Okay. Well, you've asked

14 I the question.

MS. ANDRIA: Okay.

16 MR. ROMAINE: The issue for control of

17 particulate matter from this kiln is the

18 effectiveness of the baghouse or fabric filter on the

19 stack. That's what's being relied upon to control

20 particulate matter emissions. Fab~ic filters are

21 considered ~he most effective device for control of

22 particulate matter where they can be applied, and

23 they certainly can be applied to lime filters, lime

24 plants J lime kilns. And the permit would establish a

25 stringent limit for the performance of the fabric

In te~ms of commen~s with ~egard

3 particulate matter air q u a Li r y , we, as an agency, are

4 concerned about oarticulate matter ai~ qualic:y. The

~ area that is the focus of those efforts is, in fact,

6 the industrialized St. Louis, Metro East area, the

'7 indust~ialized, heavily developed urbanized area. To

8 bring that a~ea into attainment of the particulate

9 ffiat~e~ standard, the~e will have to be a number of

10 measu~es caken that roll back particulate matter

II from the sources in those areas, as well as

12 regional

precursor emissions. Those measures should act to

14 improve particulate matter air quality in outlying

15 rural areas such as Randolph County.

16 The comment was made that Randolph,

17 thac Baldwin Township in Randolph County is

18 designated as a non-attainment area', That is not

19 because of the actual air quality In that township.

20 It's because it"s the location of the Baldwin Power

21 Plant, and the Baldwin Power Plant has an impact on

22 regional air quality, given the magnitude of that

23 facility.

24 For that reason, USEPA deemed it was

25 app~opriate that it be included in the planning, in

specifically cut out Baldwin Township and said,

You'~e going to have to add~ess your Baldwin Power

Plant as if it were in a non-attainment area, because

it does contribute to ~he Droblems that we are

experiencing downwind.

It doesn't actually mean that ci~izens

levels of PM alr quality. It's simply how we ~ . 1 0

address that plant into the future.

I can't speak for ~he circums~ances of

St. Genevieve County across the river. I would say,

to the extent that Missouri has identified areas in

that couniy that have prbblems, potentially due to

concentrations of sources of development or its

impact on the St. Louis area, again, the actions that

are taken in that county to reduce emissions and

improve quality will have benefits for people. living

across the river in Randolph Coun~y.

MR. ANDRIA: They're using, they're

going tobe using either coal or pecroleum coke or a

combination of both. Was consideration given, since

we're non-attainment, the other three counties are

na.t.urel oas?

iVlR. ROM]\_ I NE ,: Yes, it was, as discussed

in tne project summ~ry LhaL we prepared. don't

know if you have copies of it. We looked aL the cost

effectiveness of using natural gas and concluded that

the cost of using natural gas as a means to control

emissions would be excessive.

In part, that's because the sulfur

dioxide emissions from the olant would be very

well-controlled by the scrubbing action of the lime

and limestone dust as it passes through Lhe system

and is collected in the baghouse. So that the use of

naLural gas really wouldn't have much of an effect on

SO~ emissions. "­

~he other difficulty with natural gas

is because of the way fuels are burned in a kiln, use

of natural gas should also be expected to result in

increase in emissions of nitrogen oxides. The

nitrogen oxides are a pollutant that has a role in

causing ozone, air quality, bad ozone levels. It

also has experienced bad effects as a precursor to

forming of fine particulate matter.

So natural gas has certain benefits

certainly. It would be advantageous in terms of

perhaps greenhouse gases. But In terms of specific

concerns about our monitoring network, but this

suggest additional monitoring is needed in this

area. We're actually working with the proposed

Prairie State Power Plant/ and they've actually

supplemented our monitoring network. I think they've

established another monitor on the outskirts of

Belleville/ which is much more useful for us to

evaluate impacts again on the developed urbanized

area, which is the major focus of our efforts to

improve air quality. That's where we need to lmprove·

MR. RODNEY ~INKER: Thank you. My name

perspectives from which I'd like to comment tonight.

First as a resident, landowner, and t a x p a y e r of

Illinois, I sUDDort a business that can effectively

u t a La z e a resource which our l-egion is fort..unaL.e Lo

have available and who demonstrates compliance in

excess of those required to meet the ambient air

quality standards.

Any Com~any willing to inv~st in

recovery of these types of mineral assets should have

a right, responsibility, and purpose for the people

of this country to do so. Lime is a basic material

that has been used for centuries and reDresents

nothing of a new or uncertain consequence. I

encourage IEPA to issue this permit for the benefit

of jobs in this community and the region, ror the tax

base it represents, and the support of the needs of

others who use this !'esource.

Secondly, as an officer of the company

whc cr~a~~les ~lmes~cne lD St. Genevlev2, Missouri,

and as a cu~~ent board member cf that s~ate's

Limestone Producers Association, I wish to encourage

the issuance of De~mits to those companies that have

exhibited responsibility in the past, achieved safety

awards and recognition for their attention to

employee training and well-being, and who have

suppo~ted their communities in which they onerate.

Nume~ous companies mine and process

limestone in this ~egion :o~ a variety of purposes.

I expect all of the regulatory agencies to treat each

equally, fairly, and explicitly within the guidelines

of the existing sta~utes. The resulting message is

one that provides equal opportunity, benefits all

miners, educates and protects the general public, and

culminates in the realization that the system works.

While 1 do not imply ~hat I promote

this particular company, I do encourage issuance of

the subject permit, inasmuch as I would expect it to

be issued if I were the applicant. Thank you.

MR. STUDER: Thank you, Mr. Linker.

correctly, is it Roger Melliere?

Bu':, y o u k n o w . at the time, in 2002,

t was 1.72 1000 pounds of l f i acid, :!-56,OOOn e r e s u u r c

pounds of hydrochloric acid, 1,511 pounds of lead

compounds, and 33 pounds of mercury compounds. Three

of those four are cancer-causing carcinogens, which,

to me, you know, again, based on the total

environmental releases and the pollution score cards,

Randolph County is one of che, is ranked in the

highest, the 20 percent highest counties for

hazardous air polluLants. And granted, I think

Illinois Power is probably the primary cause for that

in Randolph County, but that's me.

But the question .L have is, over a

period of time, you know, I can definitely see when a

company comes in and they begin working, and they're

really being closely monitored, they're gonna' be,

they're gonna' maintain their filters, change them

time, maybe they get a little lax in the

And what I'm getting at is, again, in

the period of 1988 to 2002, there was an increase of

26 percent in emissions. I mean, that, I guess

When you see an increase in emissions like ~hat, does

the EPA flag something and say, Wait a minute, what's

. ?gOlng on. Do they come in and do an investigation or

some kind of research to find out why are your

emissions increasing, what can be done ~o reduce

those emissions?

MR. ROMAINE: I guess I first need to

back up. I'm not ~amiliar with the data that you're

referrins to.

MR. WILSON: It came from a pollution

score card, www.scorecard.org, f o r total

environmental releases and toxic chemical releases.

MR. ROMAINE: Well, then part of the

issue is, if it's the environmental score card, is

it's reporting not only emission releases but

wastewater releases, and it's potentially solid waste

from a facility.

MR. WILSON: Well, in this particular

one, the total environmental releases and again,

this was based on 2002 rankings. Again, there

could've been improvements between now and then, and

but, you know, at the time, they ranked 90 to 100

percent, which was like dirtiest/worst facilities in

the U.S. And as far as non-cancer risk score, they

were 2~SO 90 ~o ~OO perceD~, which was dir~i2s~!wcrs~

2-D t n e 70 to 80 percent, which, you know, a q a i n . on

the upper edge of the dirtiest to worst facilities.

So, you know, when I look at this, and

again, you know, I had some questions up front. And

a gentleman from the EPA was saying, yeah, this is

reliable data. So I have to ask myself, you know,

right now the plant's not there. You Dring ~he plant

In, we've got pollution that we didn't have Defore.

So yeah, there is an increase. And it does concern

me.

I'm just wondering, when it's up and

running and everything's going, does the EPA walk

away, or do you I know you guys continually, they

always have to get their emissions and send you that

data, and you guys compile it. But at some point in

+-'- l ' me , do you flag it when you see those emissions

start increasing, saying, Hey, what's going on? Are

we not filtering it properly? What's going on?

MR. ROMAINE: Well, certainly we check

the data. If there's something changing, we're

curious why. I really can't comment on that 26

percent increase, particularly as it lDvo ....1 ves,. I

think, things other than emissions. It could simply

MR. WILSON: Well, this pa~ticularl

what ='m talking about did not count, it wasn't

counting any kind of waste that was transported off

site. It was emissions in the air, sulfuric acid,

hydrochloric acid, lead compounds, mercury comnounds.

MR. ROMAINE: Again, .L can't comment on

it without having seen it in advance.

MR. WILSON: 1'.11 right. I mean, my

main concern is that, again, it's the emissions. If

I knew one hundred percent that it was controlled and

monitored and if for some reason, filters, the

maintenance of your filtration system wasn't being

maintained properly, that somebody would raise a

flag, it would be investigated, and something would

be done about ..L " .... .

I mean, right now, I realize that a lot

of times people have a tendency to turn the other way

and sometimes, you know -­ well, I'm not gonna' go

into that.

MR. ROMAINE: Well, in terms of

monitoring, the kilns would be required to be

continuously monitored for their emissions of CO, for

carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide.

These are the primary po~~u=ants e~itted by =he ki!n,

and that would provide solid data on a continuing

basis for the nerformance of che kilns.

In addition, monitorinq is required for

opacity of ehe exhaust, which is an indicaeor of the

performance of the baghouses for conerolling the

particulate matter emissions.

MR. WILSON: One thing I want to be

real, real clear about. Whe~ I talked about th~

total environmental releases and the non-cancer risk

scores and stuff and I said it was in the 90 to 100

percent dirtiese/worst facilities, that doesn't mean

the cleanliness of the plant itself. It's sericLly

talking about the emissions coming out. Okay? I

mean, T heard some comments talking about how they ~ I"

took tours to the plant and it was really clean and

everyehing looked great. ThaL's not what this is

talking about.

MR. ROMAINE: Well, you know, that

database, in fact, I think they're reporting on the

toxics release" inventory developed by the USEPA. The

purpose of that database, the reporting requirements,

was to focus aetention on releases of hazardous

materials in wastewater, in solid waste, in

emissions, so that sources would take measures to use

ama concerned citizen. Going off of his comment,

it's to my understanding that a plant, if they pass

r~gulations so often, they get pollution points. Is

that correct? As some kind of incentive to keep your

plant clean, to be low on emissions, do they get

pollution points?

MR. ROMAINE: I'm not familiar with

pollution points.

MS. STELLHORN: No incentive for

keeping them clean or anything like that?

MR. ROMAINE: No. Plants are supposed

to comply with regulations, period.

you were talking about the air monicor closest

up -- I was not aware that you weren't even

considering putting one in Prairie Du Rocher. You're

thinking more closer to Belleville. And I'm kind of

like, why so far away?

MR. ROMAINE: Oh. The simple answer

for that is, we're monitoring the emissions as they

come out of the stack, which is a much more reliable

measure to assure that the facility's emissions are

within acceptable levels. The purpose of ambient

like I.O preface this by stating I think itrs

great that a sound company like Mississippi Lime

would consider building a plant here. As far as I

know, they are, you know, they have a good

reputation.

However, ·my question concerns what

recourse Prairie Du Rocher has if the EPA limits are

found to be too high? Probably many people here

aren't aware of the scope and size of the plant. And

I'm quoting here from the EPA application. The plant

will be allowed to generate 1,533 tons per year of

nitrogen oxide, 1,095 tons per year of carbon

monoxide, 283 tons per year of S02' 52.3 tons per

year of PM ~. That's particulate matter having size2 .:J

below 2.5 microns. And 22 tons per year of volatile

Okav. So ~e2~~ly!· t. h o s e a r e just the

numbers, but that's pretty much eauivalenc to a

midsize power plant. Correct me if I'm wrong, but

looked up like some power plants in Kentucky, and

they have similar emissions. So it's like a

medium-size power plant.

So 1- -f , let's supposec:.his plant's up

and running. What do we do ; .= the air starts getting~.L

bad here? I mean, you know, what recourse does a

town have? Well, you know, we can monitor at the

stack, but thac doesn't account for the circulation

f 'in the air and perhaps _ormlng pockets along the

bluffs. I know it's difficult to model air flow

around bluffs.

I think there should be more monitoring

stations, not St. Gen or Belleville, but there should

be some here to account for the bluffs, 'cause th~y

don't have bluffs in Belleville, whereas we do here.

So we need a station in this town. And ideally,

periodic testing by an independent testing facility.

I think all of that should be built into the permit,

so that, you know, the process is in writing for, you

know, the recourse that the citizens In the town have

to address, you know, the air quality.

you looked at. varlOUS design options on how rase to

heat the fuel so that you could use low NO burners x

and such with che fuel source. ~ guess my question

various alternatives that might be used as Best

natu~al gas as a :uel

MR. SABO: So, you know, obviously, you

know, a lot of times power plants use a combinaLion

of cyclon separators, baghouses, and electrostatic

precipitators. And I'm just curious why there was no

requirement to use electrostatic precipitators as a

final cleansing step on this.

MR. ROMAINE: Generally in

circumstances where baghouses are practicable

devices, they're considered more reliable and more

effective than a baghouse. That's not to say that

electrostatic precipiLaLors can't be very effective.

But they pose certain challenges that aren't, they're

not as straightforward to operate, from my

perspective, as simply putting in a baghouse which

filters the dust out of the exhaust.

MR.SABO: I'm curious I since even

though I'm Prairie Du Rocher mailing address, I live

up on the bluff I as opposed to down here in the

ditch. And how often did your organization do any

modeling on the frequency of temperature inversions

in the Mississippi Valley? And if so, how does the

temperature inversion affect the short-term exposure

to the people in the area?

specifica:ly sDEak co the inversion issue. The

madeline chat was conducced is based on a five-vea~

pe~iod of meteorology. Soie looks through five

y e a r s . hour by hour datal and evaluates what is the

worst or the highest impacts under that set of

meceorology. So and it's a very thorough analysis

that would certainly you know, I would expect wouldI

be sufficient to address the Da~tic~lar circumstances

here l given thE data. But beyond that I I d have toI

go back co our modelers to see how they actually

addressed the circumstances.

MR. SABO: Well, the reason I asked

this is because the National Weather Service data

topography speaking, wide open, f La t . like much of

MR. ROMAINE: At this point, the

standards for radionuclides do not apply to

commercial fuels. The USEPA has not found it

necessary ~o develop standards for use of commercial

fuels.

MR. SABO: Okay. So basically, any

radon emitted from this site is treated differently

from the same quantity that would be emitted from a

nuclear power plant then, because it's a different

set of regulations; is that correct?

MR. ROMAINE: Yes. That's the simple

answer.

MR. SABO: That's great.

power plants have radioactivity in substantial

quantities and are appropriate for regulation to

assure that radioactivity is not released to the

environment. That risk or those circumstances are

not present with a conventional power plant or

MR. STUDER: Yes.

MR. ROMAINE: What we're here for

tonight is obviously we're addressing concerns simply

pro and con, jobs, whatever. What we're really

concerned about is technical issues :r-aised about the

proposed p:r-ojecc and whether it will comply with the

applicable regulations, whether we've done our job

properly in terms of evaluating the project ahd

assuring compliance with applicable emission

standards and requi:r-ements.

The comments that a:r-e made tonight

about economic development really don't sway us very

much. We're much more interested and I heard

comments with regard to more monito:r-ing stations,

independent periodic testing, other substantive

issues. That is what we're really listening to hea:r-,

'cause those are the things that can affect our

decision or influence the content of a permit if we

decide the permit is warranted, but there are

additional features that should be included in that

maybe.

done with the monitoring, in fact, address o f f s i t ev

impact, so we do not do monitoring to address on-site

impacts, which are the responsibility of OSHA. Bu[.

our analysis starts at Lhe fenceline or in a location

know, present, hunting, walking, or whatever.

MS. POUR: So there was no analysis

done for people that are that close?

saying, because they would be beyond the fenceline.

would like to build here the same as we've got in St.

Genevieve? The plant in St. Genevieve is a very

large operation with a lot greater capacity than what

would be here in Prairie Du Rocher.

We nave an underground mine lD St.

Genevieve. We would have a~ underground mine here l~

Prairie Du Rocher. We have many, many kilns on the

sur:ace in St. Genevieve. Here the Dermit

application is for two kilns and a hydrating system.

So it's a much smaller operation than what we have in

St. Genevieve.

There were a couD~e of questions aboV~

why here, and someone addressed that with a comment

about this was where the reserve is. These type of

limestone reserves are not prevalent throughout the

entire United States. So you go where the stone is.

Some companies have to ship the stone in from long

distances away, and that makes having a viable

operation very difficult.

Other l.ime businesses, like many

businesses that we're in today, it's a challenge.

You work hard to make money, whether you're out in

the plant, or in the mine, or in the office. And so

you look for the areas where you can develop an

operation, support a business, and grow along with

the community. That's why we're here asking for this

in Prairie Du Rocher. This is where the stone is.

The growth that we're looking to supply

is north and east of here primarily. Being on this

that I believe ran out of time. So Kathy Andria, if

you'd like to come forward.

MS. KATHY ANDRIA: I wanted to first of

all address the people, the concerned citizens who

expressed concern about health. You do have reason

to worry about the health. This plant, as one person

suggested, would emit 283 tons of sulfur dioxide,

1,500 tons of nitrogen oxide, 1,000 tons of carbon

monoxide, 106 tons of fine particulates. There are

carcinogens. There are all kinds of things.

Google these chemicals and find out

what the health impacts are. Go to the 1 ibrary, and

you'll find out. Fine particulates cause heart and

natural gas would only cost $3 more per million BTU

than coal.

I come from Granite City. IE?JI.'s given

a whole bunch of Dermits UD there. 'The air is not

clean. We have really serious Droblems. We have an

abundance of children with asthma from the fine

particulates. From the Granite City Steel, we have

all kinds of people who have cancer. We have lots

and lots of cancer, heart disease. And they've even

done a study that just was released about diabetes

and fine Darticulates.

So go to the library, Google these

things, go to the American Lung Association site.

Find out about these things. You have a right to be

concerned. But don't rely on their assurances that

your air is gonna' be clean. It will never be the

same once a plant like this starts running.

And you have such a lovely town here,

and it's a tourist attraction, and people come here

MS. ANDRIA: What If they are in ~wo

months? Then what?

MR. ROMAINE: Then in two months, we

would have to do a BACT analysis.

MS. ANDRIA: But this would be

grandfathered In.

MR. ROMAINE: The only differen2e would

be that there would be a formal analysis for

greenhouse gases. This plant is being developed to

use pre-heaters, which are the technology that

maintains, you know, that reduces fuel consumption,

which is the technique that would be used to minimize

emissions of greenhouse gases from a lime plant.

MS. ANDRIA: I looked at this permit,

and I didn't go through the whole permit, but I

looked at it, and I compared it to the Vulcan permit,

which is also a lime processing plant, and I'm a

little confused about it. The PM emissions for this

plant are twice as much as Vulcan's, whil~ other of

the lime emissions are lower. Can you explain why?

MR. ROMAINE: That's an incorrect

understanding. The difference between this permit

and the Vulcan permit is this permit it's a plan

is that the Best Available Concrol Technology

limics for th~ Vulcan Dlant are expressed per con of

limestone input into the lime kiln, whereas the BACT

limits for t~is plant are proposed to be sec in terms

of tons of lime outDut from the kilns. So ie's a

difference between e~ission units based on output

versus emission limits based on inpue.

In fact, the lime outDut from a kiln is

about half the limestone input. So if you compare

them appropriately, you'll see that this plane has

emission limits that are similar or slightly better

than the limits that are proposed for Vulcan, which,

again, is a different location, different size,

producing a different quality of limestone.

·MS. ANDRIA: Particulate your chart

on annual emissions has three different problems for

particulates. One tha t just says PM, another says

and a third says PM2'~' Could you explain the .;:)

differences, and is there a total of 250 something

tons?

matter. The potential emission, that is the amount

MS ..~NDRIA: p~~ _ is the kind of L. • ::J

pollutant, that particulate that bypasses, it goes

deep into the lungs and can even go into the

bloodstream and the heart. So I just wanted to

know. That's 52 tons per year. Did you model

compliance ~ith one-hour NO and S02 according to EPA x

guidance?

MR. ROMAINE: Yes.

MS. ANDRIA: Did you set one-hour

limits, rather than average over more than an hour?

MR. ROMAINE: Do you have that on the

top, Minesh? The limit that would be proposed as .set

for nitrogen oxides is a three-hour average.

MS. ANDRIA: We elicit comments on

that. We would request that it be on a one-hour.

The permit assumes that BACT is equal to a case by

case BACT. Are there end units subject to a case by

they've handed in, that it be verified by the

agency.

You didn'~know how much mercury, but

do you know how much lead will be emit~ed?

MR. ROMAINE: Do we have a number for

lead?

MR. PATEL: Yeah. On a yearly basis,

it's 0.0008.

MS. ANDRIA: Tons; right? 0.008, three

zeros?

MR. PATEL: Four zeros.

MS. ANDRIA: No. Zero point, and then

four zeros or just three?

MR. PATEL: Four zeros then 8.

MS. ANDRIA: How much is that in tons?

Can you tell me?

MR. PATEL: That is in tons.

MS. ANDRIA: No. I mean in pounds.

application in-house.

MS. ANDRIA: Maybe they could answer.

They have an engineer here.

MR. STUDER: If they want LO answer,

they can answer on the NPDES. If they don't want to

answer, I can't compel them to answer.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: We've received our

permit already.

MR. STUDER: Okay. They've got their

NPDES permit, you are correct.

MS. ANDRIA: Yeah. I agree with Me:-.

Sabol it's a shame that people didn't know about it,

'cause I'm sure people would be very interested in

commenting on that. And I don't know -- I know that

NPDES permits are I don't know where they, you

find out about them. I go on the EPA website to find

out.

MR. STUDER: All of them are posted on

the web page when they are on public notice.

MS. ANDRIA: Okay. When will the

MR. STUDER: We are anticipating

receiving the transcript in about two weeks, so I

would say two to two and a half weeks is what our

target is. It may be slightly later than that

depending on, you know, because it falls over the

holidays, but that's what we're targeting for.

MS. ANDRIA: Could you tell the people

with the gentleman who had concerns about what

recourse, if the air is bad. Because once they're

up, they're up, and it takes an act of God or

something to close them. So, you know, taKe on

notice and find out what you can and submit your

comments. Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

IviR. STUDER: Thank you, Ms. Andria.

Kathy brought up a question -­

AUDIENCE MEMBER: Can I make one more

statement later before it's over?

MR. STUDER: Yes. You have to come

forward, too.

MR. ROGER MELLIERE: Roger Melliere.

One statement I want to make again before you guys

leave, before you guys make your decision. In this

town, basically in this bottoms, we have very heavy

air a lot of times. When people burn leaves in this

town, you'll see it get about bluff level, and it'll

hang all the time. Before you make your decision,

please come around that time when somebody's burning

you into it, you know. Please make your decision on

MR. STUDER: Thank you. Before I make

the announcement about where you can find the

transcript, I'll do that right now, just so that

everyone has that. If you go to the Illinois EPA web

page, and r.haL: is www.epa.state.il.us. And that is

the generic web page for Illinois EPA.

On the front page of the web page, as

you scroll down the front page, you'll come to a

place that says "Public Notice." And if you click on

"Public Notice," it'll take you to our general

public notices. The transcript will appear on the

second page when you click on "Public Notice," when

it is put on the web page.

this, our responsiveness summary will also be posted

this evening will receive notification, and we will

I remind everyone that the record is

written comments. Even if you have spoken this

evening and you would like to file comments in

writing, you are certainly free to do that, and we

will consider those comments before we take final

that would like to speak?

MS. ANDRIA: I have a question.

MR. STUDER: Yes, Kathy.

MS. ANDRIl>.: Since they're going to be

using coal, where would the coal ash go? Is that

going to be stored on site?

ME.. ROrIJAINE: Do v o u r e c a L'; , M:'cnesh?

MR. PATEL: The permit does not allow

coal to be stored at, coal ash to be stored at the

plant, so I'm thinking it would be going out.

MS. ANDRL7.l,.: So they will have to, if

EPA, which is currently accepting comments until

Friday, about the coal ash will 'be, could be a

hazardous waste, then they will have to, whether they

do i~ under C or D, they have to put it somewhere

, ")else? Is that what you're saYlng. It's not gonna'

be on site?

MR. ROMAINE: The permit that we're

proposing to issue does not address on-site disposal

of ash, so it would have to be appropriately handled

by sending it LO an appropriate off-site disposal

facility.

MS. ANDRIA:' Okay. Thank YO~'

MR. STUDER: Thank you.

MS. JUDY POUR: I have one more

question. Are you aware that the piece of property

that I was saying 3 or 400 yards, that Mississippi

Lime will own everything around it, the 15 acres?

Those people will be affected one way or another.

And how tall will the towers be?

MR. ROMAINE: How high are the stacks?

MR. ROMAINE: I don't have that a~ my

it'll obviously tall. That's of the

app~oach to addres~ins

MS. POUR: Well, it's gonna' determine,

like you said, when you have, depending on how tall

they are, and when you have the bluffs. And again,

lived across from this all my life. I played over

there. f'1y brother did, as well So we know, you

know, what it , s 1 ike, you know, 300 400 yards from

there But agaln, it , s going to affect, 'cause if

it's not too tall, it's going to hover. So it will

affect people, and, you know -­

MR. ROMAINE: And I guess I'm not sure

I answered your previous question. What I was trying

to say is that we look for everybody off the

property. We start at the property line and work our

way further away from the plant. You know, if we see

the highest impacts a foot, you know, right off the

property line, that's where they have to show

comDliance with the air quality standards. If it

happens to be further 'distance away, that's where

they have to show compliance with the air quality

standards.

The only place that we're not looking
