Section II: INTRODUCTION

Summary ofPennit Activity

Cormier Rice Milling Company, Inc. (Cormier) owns and operates a rice mill located at 312South Monroe Street in DeWitt, Arkansas County, Arkansas 72042. This facility waspreviously permitted under Permit #1052-AR-2. This permit was voided on July 19, 2005,because emission rates were below the permitting threshold. Changes to the regulations haveresulted in a lower permitting threshold for PM lO and the facility is no longer exempt frompermitting requirements. Cormier bought the old Riceland Mill next door. SN-02, SN-13, andSN-14 are the sources from the old Riceland building. Total permitted emissions rates requestedare: 68.2 tons per year (tpy) PM and 20.1 tpy PM lO•

Process Description

Cormier received, stores, handles, processes and ships rice and its by-products. Previously driedrough rice is delivered to the mill by hopper trucks at the truck unloading pit (SN-Ol and SN-02).This rough rice is conveyed directly from the unloading pit to the scalperators/cleaners (SN-03and SN-04). After cleaning, the rough rice is sent to storage and then to the mill where it isdehulled and bran is removed. Particulate matter (PMIPM lO) emissions from the bran removalprocess are controlled by the bran removal baghouse (SN-09). The hulls and bran are sent tostorage bins prior to loading onto hopper trucks for shipment (SN-l 0 and SN-12).

Milled rice continues through a grading system and is deposited into bins according to grade.The bins hold the rice until it is ready to be shipped. The milled rice will be packaged or sent tothe customer in bulk form (SN-11) by truck.

Rice broken or not acceptable for bagging is used to make rice flour. The broken rice isseparated by grade and transferred to storage bins (SN-15 and SN-16) then loaded onto trucks forshipping.

Rice hulls are loaded onto trucks from the by-product storage bins. Emissions from all internalprocesses are controlled by a baghouse (SN-03 and SN-08). Loading and unloading operationsare permitted as uncontrolled.

This facility is not considered an affected source per 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart DD - Standards ofPerformance for Grain Elevators because it has a permanent storage capacity of 931,000bushels, which is below the 1.0 million bushel threshold set forth in the subpart. A bushel of riceweighs 45 pounds.

Section III: PERMIT HISTORY

Permit #1052-A was the initial pennit issued to Cormier Rice Milling Company, Inc. on June 20,1990.

Permit #1052-AR-l was issued to Cormier Rice Milling Company, Inc. on November 16, 1998.This permit modification included the elimination of SN-Ol, 02 and 03; an increase in thefacility's allowable production; the addition of previously unpermitted sources; and theincorporation of new emission factors. This modification reduced the PM emissions by 11.8 tpy.

Permit #1052-AR-2 was issued to Cormier Rice Milling Company, Inc. on October 1,2001.Permit modifications included an increase in allowable mill throughput and the inclusion of twonew sources: Rice Bran Removal Baghouse (SN-08) and the Product Loadout (SN-09). Totalallowable emissions increased 9.4 tpy PM.

Permit #1052-AR-2 was voided at the request ofConnier on July 19, 2005 because emissionrates were below the permitting thresholds.
