1.2 Facility description
Green Plains Otter Tail LLC (Facility) is a fuel-grade ethanol production plant in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. The facility uses a grain feedstock (primarily corn) to produce fuel ethanol and byproducts. The facility is permitted to produce up to 65 million gallons of undenatured (200-proof) ethanol per year. Operations at the facility include grain receiving, grain storage, milling, fermentation, ethanol distillation, drying and cooling of dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS), DDGS storage, DDGS handling and loadout to trucks or railcars, denaturing ethanol (adding gasoline or similar denaturant), and ethanol storage, piping, and loadout to trucks or railcars. Particulate matter, particulate matter less than 10 micron and particulate matter less than 2.5 micron (PM/PM10/PM2.5) are emitted from grain receiving, milling, DDGS handling and drying, combustion of natural gas or propane (boilers, regenerative thermal oxidizer, DDGS dryer), and vehicle traffic on paved and unpaved roads. Nitrogen oxides (NOX), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and greenhouse gases (GHG, primarily carbon dioxide) are emitted from combustion of natural gas or propane. Volatile organic compounds (VOC) and hazardous air pollutants (HAP) are emitted from combustion of natural gas or propane, fermentation, drying and cooling of DDGS, wetcake production and storage, distillation, ethanol and denaturant storage and loadout, and volatile organic liquid (VOL) piping leaks. Control equipment at the facility includes fabric filters for control of particulate emissions from grain, flour, and DDGS handling operations, packed scrubbers for control of VOC and HAP emissions from fermentation and distillation, a regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) for control of VOC and HAP emissions from DDGS drying and cooling, and a flare for control of VOC and HAP emissions from ethanol loadout into trucks and railcars.

1.6 Changes to permit
The permit does not authorize any specific modifications, however, the MPCA has a combined operating and construction permitting program under Minnesota Rules Chapter 7007, and under Minn. R. 7007.0800, the MPCA has authority to include additional requirements in a permit. Under that authority, the following changes to the permit are also made through this permit action: • The permit has been updated to reflect current MPCA templates and standard citation formatting.
Technical Support Document, Permit Number: 11100077-101 Page 3 of 67
• Completed requirements and the requirements for equipment that has been removed have been deleted.
• Some requirements have been reordered to help with clarity (i.e., similar requirements are grouped). • CAM has been added as discussed in Table 5 of this TSD. • Permit Flexibility: Additional permitting flexibility has been added to the permit. The flexibility allows the
addition, modification, and replacement of emission units and control devices described below in the technical information section of this TSD. The MPCA will be able to reconcile facility changes periodically to ensure that the permit reflects current operations at the facility.
• TFAC 2 – Total Facility: Limits on annual grain receiving throughput and DDGS loadout throughput (and associated
recordkeeping) have been added to the permit to limit PM, PM10, and PM2.5 emissions to below NSR major source thresholds.
A limit on annual denaturant usage throughput (and associated recordkeeping) has been added to the permit to limit VOC emissions to below NSR major source thresholds and to limit HAP emissions to below the 40 CFR pt. 63 NESHAP major source thresholds.
Additional requirements related to permit flexibility have been added to TFAC 2 of the permit. These include requirements to maintain a current equipment list and process flow diagram and to a submit an annual report documenting the changes made to equipment, stacks, or control equipment using the flexible permit language.
• COMG 1 (GP001) / VOL Storage Tanks (EQUI 58, EQUI 59, EQUI 60, EQUI 61, and EQUI 62): The requirements of 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. Kb were moved from COMG 1 to the individual
applicable tank subject items in the permit: EQUI 60 (TK003) – Denaturant Storage Tank, EQUI 61 (TK004) – Denatured Ethanol Tank 1, and EQUI 62 (TK005) – Denatured Ethanol Tank 2. COMG 1 has been removed from the permit.
The two 200 proof tanks EQUI 58 (TK001) and EQUI 59 (TK002) have been determined to be process tanks not subject to 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. Kb. The Minnesota Standard of Performance for Post-1969 Industrial Process Equipment is the applicable standard for these tanks. The Permittee has chosen to continue operating and maintaining the internal floating roofs for these tanks in order to limit VOC emissions below PSD thresholds; therefore, operation, inspection, and recordkeeping requirements based on 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. Kb have been added to the permit at EQUI 58 and EQUI 59.
EQUI 60, EQUI 61, and EQUI 62 have been determined to be subject to Minn. R. 7011.1505 (Minnesota Standards of Performance for Petroleum Liquid Storage Vessels). The applicable requirements of this standard have been added to the permit at subject items EQUI 60, EQUI 61, and EQUI 62.
Requirements to operate and maintain the internal floating roofs for EQUIs 58 and 59 have been added to the permit in order to limit VOC emissions below the NSR major source threshold.
• COMG 2 (GP002) – Grain Handling Fabric Filters, TREA 7 – Grain Receiving Baghouse, TREA 8 – Hammermill Baghouse, and TREA 11 – DDGS Loadout Baghouse: The control equipment monitoring requirements were moved from COMG 2 to the individual
applicable fabric filter subject items in the permit: TREA 7 (CE001) – Grain Receiving Baghouse, TREA 8 (CE008) – Hammermill Baghouse, and TREA 11 (CE011) – DDGS Loadout Baghouse. This change was primarily made because some fabric filters are subject to different regulations (e.g. TREA 7 and TREA 8 are subject to CAM, and TREA 11 is not). COMG 2 has been removed from the permit.
In the previous permit, the requirements of the Minnesota Control Equipment Rule (Minn. R. 7011.0060-7011.0080) were added to the grain handling fabric filters in error. Since these rules do not apply, these requirements have been removed from the permit.
• COMG 6 – Indoor Grain Receiving Limits: COMG 6 is a new component group that was created to list the operating limits taken for the grain receiving building for the 4/18/18 and 9/28/18 air dispersion
Technical Support Document, Permit Number: 11100077-101 Page 4 of 67
modeling PM10 NAAQS demonstrations. These operating limits include restrictions on daily grain receiving throughput, hours of operation, and daily number of straight trucks.
• EQUI 4 (EU031) – Truck Ethanol Loadout, EQUI 116 – Rail Ethanol Loadout, and TREA 21 (CE026) – Flaring: Rail ethanol loadout operations were never explicitly identified in the permit, even though this
operation was part of the original facility design. This emission unit has now been identified in the permit as EQUI 116. EQUI 116 is required to vent emissions to the flare, TREA 21 (CE026), at all times.
EQUI 4 and EQUI 116 are each subject to the Minnesota Performance Standard for Post-1969 Industrial Process Equipment. This standard has been listed at EQUI 4 and EQUI 116 in the permit.
The natural gas combustion emissions from the flare (0.0204 MMBtu/hr) and CO and NOX emissions from flaring are now listed at the control equipment subject item (TREA 21). EQUI 37/EU032 (Loadout Flare) has been removed from the permit.
The TREA 21 overall VOC control efficiency limit has been revised to 96.7%, based on an assumed 98.7% emissions capture efficiency for NSPS-compliant tanker trucks.
Control efficiency limits for specific individual HAPs have been added to the permit at subject item TREA 21 for the purposes of calculating uncontrolled HAP emissions. Compliance with the control equipment operating parameter limits in the permit provide assurance of compliance with these limits. The citation “to avoid major source classification under 40 CFR Section 63.2” has been removed from the VOC control efficiency limit at TREA 21, since the relevant individual HAP species control efficiencies are now listed.
• Additional Grain Storage Silos: The last permit action (permit #11100077-004) incorporated a major permit amendment application (received 5/12/2012) to install three additional grain storage silos and additional conveyors for filling and reclaiming grain from these silos, as listed below: EQUI 6 (EU056) – Silo #3 Conveyor EQUI 10 (EU060) – Corn Storage Silo #3 EQUI 11 (EU061) – Silo #4 Conveyor EQUI 13 (EU063) – Corn Storage Silo #4 EQUI 14 (EU064) – Silo #5 Conveyor EQUI 16 (EU066) – Corn Storage Silo #5 EQUI 166 (EU057) – Silo #3 Reclaim EQUI 167 (EU062) – Silo #4 Reclaim EQUI 168 (EU065) – Silo #5 Reclaim
Permit #11100077-004 did not include any specific permit requirements pertaining to construction authorization for these units, nor did it incorporate the applicable emission standards for these units. The permit has been updated to include construction conditions for these units, as well as the applicable performance standards (Minn. R. 7011.1505 – Dry Bulk Agricultural Commodity Rule, or “Bulk Ag. Rule”). An operating limit has been added to EQUI 13 and EQUI 16 prohibiting operation of these storage silos while the Temporary Flat Storage Facility is in place, as was assumed in the 4/18/18 and 9/28/18 air dispersion modeling PM10 NAAQS demonstrations.
• EQUI 18 (EU027) – Emergency Generator and EQUI 108 (EU026) – Fire Pump: Emission standards for fire pump engines were incorrectly applied to EQUI 18 in the previous
permit. These have been replaced with the correct emission standards for pre-2007 model year emergency CI ICE with a displacement of less than 10 liters per cylinder that are not fire pump engines (40 CFR § 60.4205(a), Table 1 to 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. IIII).
The fuel type restrictions for EQUI 18 and EQUI 108 have been updated to reflect the fuel type restriction at 40 CFR § 60.4207(b). The remaining applicable requirement citations from 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. IIII have been listed at EQUI 18 and EQUI 108 as described in the permit organization section of this TSD.
Technical Support Document, Permit Number: 11100077-101 Page 5 of 67
Citations for 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. IIII (Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines) requirements were updated to include 40 CFR § 63.6590(c) (citation of the requirement in 40 CFR pt. 63, subp. ZZZZ that specifies that compliance with the NESHAP is met through compliance with the NSPS) and Minn. 7011.8150 (Minnesota incorporation of 40 CFR pt. 63, subp. ZZZZ by reference). The permit citation for the Minnesota incorporation of 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. IIII was corrected to Minn. R. 7011.2305.
The EQUI 18 and EQUI 108 operating hour limits (250 and 500 operating hours per year 12-month rolling sum, respectively) have been removed from the permit, because these limits are not required to limit PTE to below PSD major source thresholds. The September 6, 1995 U.S. EPA memo allows PTE for these engines to be calculated assuming 500 operating hours per year.
EQUI 18 and EQUI 108 were not included in the 4/18/18 and 9/28/18 air dispersion modeling PM10 NAAQS demonstrations; therefore, best management practice (BMP) requirements were added to the permit to reduce PM10 air quality impacts from these engines.
• EQUI 114 – Silo #1 and Silo #2 Reclaim and EQUI 115 – Corn Elevator 3: These emission units (a conveyor and an elevator) were both previously represented by a single emission unit (EU009 – Reclaim System). These emission units have each been given an individual subject item ID: EQUI 114 (EU009) – Silo #1 and Silo #2 Reclaim and EQUI 115 – Corn Elevator 3.
• EQUI 35 (EU028) – Boiler 1 and EQUI 36 (EU029) – Boiler 2: Minn. R. 7011.0505 specifies that Minn. R. 7011.0500 to 7011.0550 only applies to indirect
heating equipment for which a standard of performance has not been promulgated in a specific rule. EQUI 35 and EQUI 36 are each subject to 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. Dc; therefore, Minn. R. 7011.0515 does not apply to these boilers. These requirements have been removed from the permit.
The nitrogen oxides (NOX) and carbon monoxide (CO) limits for EQUI 35 and EQUI 36 are no longer necessary for limiting PTE to below the PSD major source thresholds. These limits and their associated performance test requirements have been removed from the permit.
The low-NOX burner subject items, TREA 36 (CE023) and TREA 37 (CE024) are considered to be inherent to the boiler design, rather than add-on air pollution control equipment. These control equipment subject items have been removed from the permit.
• EQUI 55 (EU050) – DDGS Dryer: The rule language of Minn. R. 7011.0715, subp. 3 was removed from EQUI 55 in the permit
because all of the necessary conditions of this subpart are not met. The DDGS dryer stack is located within a quarter mile of a public roadway (less than 0.25 mi. from 170th Ave in Fergus Falls), and the thermal oxidizer (TREA 25) does not have a PM control efficiency of greater than 85 percent.
The multiclone (formerly CE029) is now considered inherent process equipment for the DDGS dryer. The DDGS dryer description has been revised to include the multiclone, and references to the multiclone as air pollution control equipment have been removed from the permit.
The citation of the EQUI 55 operation and maintenance (O & M) requirement was updated to Minn. R. 7007.0800, subp. 2 (Minn. R. 7007.0800, subp. 14 applies to control equipment).
The citation of the requirement to vent all EQUI 55 emissions to TREA 25 has been updated to include the Title V air dispersion modeling citation.
• EQUI 56 (EU051) – DDGS Cooler: EQUI 56 is subject to Minn. R. 7011.0715 (Minnesota Standards of Performance for Post-1969
Industrial Process Equipment). These requirements have been added at EQUI 56 in the permit. During normal operation, emissions from the DDGS Cooler are routed through a fabric filter
(TREA 39 – DDGS Cooler Baghouse) prior to being vented to the DDGS dryer (EQUI 55) burners, where the emissions ultimately vent to the RTO (TREA 25) and RTO Stack (STRU 26 – DDGS with Thermal Oxidizer). TREA 39 has an alternate stack (STRU 80 – DDGS Cooler Baghouse Stack) which is typically used during startup of the DDGS dryer. TREA 39 and STRU 80 have been added
Technical Support Document, Permit Number: 11100077-101 Page 6 of 67
to the permit. The permit has been revised to specify that emissions from EQUI 56 must be vented to TREA 39 at all times.
The requirements pertaining to cessation of wetcake feed to the DDGS dryer during RTO breakdown are already listed at EQUI 55, thus have been removed from EQUI 56 to avoid redundancy.
• Controlled Emissions Units Newly Identified in the Permit: Several controlled emissions units have been identified and included in the permit, as listed in permit Appendix C.
• Uncontrolled Emissions Units Newly Identified in the Permit: The following uncontrolled emissions units subject to the Minnesota Bulk Ag. Rule have been added to the permit: EQUI 117 – Corn Dump Pit/Auger 1 (Uncaptured), EQUI 118 – Corn Dump Pit/Auger 2 (Uncaptured), EQUI 129 – DDGS Storage Conveyor 1, EQUI 130 – DDGS Storage Conveyor 2, EQUI 131 – DDGS Storage Elevator, EQUI 132 – DDGS Storage Conveyor 3, EQUI 133 – DDGS Storage Conveyor 4, EQUI 134 – DDGS Reclaim via Front End Loader, EQUI 135 – DDGS Reclaim Dump Pit, and EQUI 138 – DDGS Load Spout (Truck/Rail, Uncaptured).
• EQUI 151 – Gasoline Tank (1,000 gal): The gasoline tank was previously permitted as an insignificant activity, but has now been added as an emission unit due to applicability of 40 CFR pt. 63, subp. CCCCCC (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Category: Gasoline Dispensing Facilities). These requirements, along with the Minnesota Performance Standards for Post-1969 Industrial Process Equipment, are listed at EQUI 151 in the permit.
• EQUI 152 – Gasoline Dispensing: The Permittee has accepted a limit on gasoline throughput in order to limit VOC and HAP emissions to below PSD and NESHAP major source thresholds. The gasoline throughput limit, associated recordkeeping requirements, and the Minnesota Performance Standards for Post-1969 Industrial Process Equipment are listed at EQUI 152 in the permit.
• EQUI 169 – Boiler Make-Up Air Heater: EQUI 169 is a combustion unit that has been identified in the permit. This unit is subject to Minn. R. 7011.0610 (Minnesota Standards of Performance for Fossil-Fuel-Burning Direct Heating Equipment). These requirements are listed at subject item EQUI 169 in the permit.
• FUGI 7 (EU017), FUGI 8 (EU018), FUGI 9 (EU019) – Cooling Tower Cells 1, 2, and 3: Per current MPCA air permitting practice, the cooling tower cells have been re-categorized as
fugitive emission sources. STRU 38 (SV012), STRU 39 (SV013), and STRU 40 (SV014) have been removed from the permit.
The mist eliminator subject items for each tower, TREA 12 (CE012), TREA 13 (CE013), and TREA 14 (CE014) are considered to be inherent to the cooling tower design, rather than add-on air pollution control equipment. These control equipment subject items have been removed from the permit.
Each cooling tower cell is subject to the Minnesota Performance Standards for Post-1969 Industrial Process Equipment. These requirements have been listed at FUGIs 7, 8, and 9 in the permit.
• FUGI 11 (FS007) – Grain Receiving and Conveying at Temporary Storage Facility, FUGI 17 (FS004) – Paved Roads, FUGI 18 – Unpaved Roads, FUGI 19 – Grain Reclaim Operations at Temporary Storage Facility, and FUGI 20 – Wind Erosion at Temporary Storage Facility: The temporary storage facility (also known as “temporary flat storage” and “corn bunker”) has
been broken into three discrete fugitive emissions activities: FUGI 11 – Grain Receiving and Conveying, FUGI 19 – Grain Reclaim Operations, and FUGI 20 – Wind Erosion. This change was made to more clearly identify the applicable emissions standards and monitoring approaches used for each of these operations.
The temporary storage facility is exempt from the Minnesota Bulk Ag. Rule, as discussed in Section 2.6 of this TSD. The applicable standard of performance for all outdoor grain receiving and grain handling operations at the temporary storage facility is the Minnesota Visible Emission Restrictions for New Facilities (Minn. R. 7011.0110), which has been added to the permit at subject items FUGIs 11 and 19, along with associated visible emissions/opacity monitoring requirements.
Technical Support Document, Permit Number: 11100077-101 Page 7 of 67
Limiting assumptions utilized in the PM10 air dispersion modeling analysis have been incorporated as permit limits at subject items FUGIs 11 and 19. These include limits on hours, days, and months of grain receiving and reclaim operations, limits on grain throughput, and restrictions on types of trucks used to unload grain.
A compliance schedule for the PM10 NAAQS has been added to the permit as Appendix N. Permit requirements at FUGIs 11, 18, 19, and 20 (in addition to Appendix N), describe certain best management practices for operation of the temporary storage facility. In addition, the compliance schedule includes requirements to cease operations of the temporary storage facility on a specified schedule.
The unpaved roads at the facility were not identified in the previous permit. The different road surfaces at the facility have now been separately identified as FUGI 17 (Paved Roads) and FUGI 18 (Unpaved Roads) in the permit.
Opacity and visible emissions monitoring requirements have been added to subject items FUGIs 11, 18, 19, and 20 of the permit.
• FUGI 15 (FS005) – Equipment Leaks: The Permittee began construction of the synthetic organic chemicals manufacturing facility in October of 2006, making this facility subject to 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. VV. In the last permit (#11100077-004), the requirements of 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. VV were mistakenly replaced with the requirements of 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. VVa. The requirements of 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. VVa have been removed from the permit, and the applicable requirements of 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. VV have been restored to the permit (as described in the Permit Organization section of this TSD).
• FUGI 16 (FS006) – Wetcake -AOS: The storage of wetcake is subject to the Minnesota Bulk Ag. Rule. These requirements have
been added to the permit at FUGI 16. The permit condition requiring wetcake to be removed from the site within 72 hours was
revised to provide an exception when the outside temperature is less than 55 °F. • STRU 7 (SV001) – Grain Receiving with Baghouse, STRU 22 (SV008) – Hammermill with Baghouse, and
STRU 23 (SV011) – DDGS Loadout with Baghouse: The PM2.5 emission limits for each of these stacks were revised to Title I Conditions (limits to
avoid major source classification under New Source Review). The citation “to avoid major source classification under 40 CFR Section 70.2 and Minn. R.
7007.0200” has been removed from the STRU 7 PM10 emission limit, because the facility is a major source under the Part 70 permitting program.
The PM10 emission rate limits for STRUs 7, 22, and 23 were utilized in the PM10 air dispersion modeling analysis. The citation for each of these limits has been revised to include the standard citation for Title V air dispersion modeling-based limits (Minn. R. 7007.0100, subp. 7(A), 7(L), & 7(M), Minn. R. 7007.0800, subps. 1-2, Minn. R. 7009.0010-7009.0090, and Minn. Stat. 116.07, subds. 4a & 9).
The PM/PM10/PM2.5 emission rate limits at STRUs 7, 22, and 23 were revised to include an extra significant figure (3.170 lb/hr, 2.040 lb/hr, and 0.410 lb/hr, respectively), and were revised to specify that the limits apply on a 3-hour average basis.
The Minnesota Performance Standard for Post-1969 Industrial Process Equipment has been added at STRU 22 in the permit, because some of the equipment vented to this stack is subject to this standard instead of the Minnesota Bulk Ag Rule (includes hammermills and corn flour conveyors).
Operating hour restrictions utilized in the PM10 air dispersion modeling for STRU 7 and STRU 23 have been incorporated into the permit as operating limits, along with associated recordkeeping.
• STRU 24 (SV026) – Fermentation with CO2 Scrubber, TREA 22 (CE027) – CO2 (Fermentation) Scrubber, STRU 25 (SV027) – Distillation (Vent Gas) Scrubber, and TREA 23 (CE028) – Vent Gas (Distillation) Scrubber:
Technical Support Document, Permit Number: 11100077-101 Page 8 of 67
The VOC emission limits at STRUs 24 and 25 have been revised to include an additional significant figure (11.280 lb/hr and 4.750 lb/hr, respectively), and were revised to specify that the limits apply on a 3-hour average basis.
The citation “to avoid major source classification under 40 CFR Section 63.2” has been removed from the STRU 24 and STRU 25 VOC emission limits, because these limits do not effectively limit HAP emissions to less than the single and total HAPs major source thresholds (10 ton/year and 25 ton/year, respectively).
Requirements to measure specific HAP compounds during each VOC performance test have been added to the permit as specified in Appendix D, in order to confirm the controlled emission factors for these compounds (and to verify synthetic area source status under the NESHAPs program).
The scrubber operational requirements (includes daily and periodic monitoring) have been relocated to the applicable control equipment subject items in the permit (TREAs 22 and 23).
Monitoring conditions for the scrubber pressure drop range, minimum water flow rate, and scrubber additive material usage rate limits in the permit were revised to contain protocols for resetting the limits via an Approved Replicable Methodology, or ARM. This is a concept defined in the federal Part 70 permit rule as conditions that specify a replicable method for revising or updating monitoring parameters contained in the permit without the need to do a permit amendment.
A low production alternative operating scenario has been added to the permit at subject items TREAs 22 and 23. The alternative operating scenario allows the facility to set (and comply with) alternative control equipment operating parameters through compliant performance tests while operating at low production rates.
Control efficiency limits for specific individual HAPs have been added to the permit at subject items TREAs 22 and 23 for the purposes of calculating uncontrolled HAP emissions. Compliance with the control equipment operating parameter limits in the permit provide assurance of compliance with these limits (control efficiency performance testing for these individual HAP compounds is not required at this time). The citation “to avoid major source classification under 40 CFR Section 63.2” has been removed from the VOC control efficiency limits at TREAs 22 and 23, since the relevant individual HAP species control efficiencies are now listed.
Recurring VOC control efficiency performance tests have been added to the permit at subject items STRUs 24 and 25 to evaluate ongoing scrubber performance and to measure uncontrolled VOC emissions to each scrubber.
A one-time fermentation (CO2) scrubber inlet HAPs performance test has been added to the permit at STRU 24. This test is primarily required to confirm that the acetaldehyde concentration in the fermentation process vent is less than 0.1% by weight (40 CFR pt. 63, subp. VVVVVV applicability threshold), but also provides additional supporting data for pre-controlled HAP emission rates from the fermentation process equipment.
• EQUI 3 (EU052) – Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer, STRU 26 (SV028) – DDGS with Thermal Oxidizer, and TREA 25 (CE030) – Thermal Oxidizer: The natural gas combustion emissions from the regenerative thermal oxidizer burners (18
MMBtu/hr) are now listed at the control equipment subject item (TREA 25). EQUI 3/EU052 (Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer) has been removed from the permit.
The stack emission limits and associated performance testing requirements have been relocated to subject item STRU 26 in the permit.
The NOX emission rate limit from the previous permit (11.32 lb/hr) was determined to not be necessary for limiting NOX emissions below PSD major source thresholds; thus, this limit has been removed from the permit.
The permit now requires recurring NOX and SO2 emission factor tests at STRU 26 on a 10-year frequency.

The STRU 26 VOC emission rate limit has been revised from 1.11 lb/hr to 5.0 lb/hr in this permit action. Individual performance test run results have shown RTO-controlled VOC emission rates of up to 2.0 lb/hr; thus, the limit of 1.11 lb/hr was determined to be overly stringent when the control equipment is operating effectively. The new limit of 5.0 lb/hr is approximately 250% of the maximum VOC emission rate of an individual performance test run.
The PM/PM10/PM2.5 and CO emission limits at STRU 26 have been revised to include an additional significant figure (5.150 lb/hr and 12.910 lb/hr, respectively), and were revised to specify that the limits apply on a 3-hour average basis (previously listed 3-hour rolling average, which is not feasible because the stack does not have CEMS).
The PM10 emission rate limit for STRU 26 was utilized in the PM10 air dispersion modeling analysis. The citation for this limit has been revised to include the standard citation for Title V air dispersion modeling-based limits.
The citation “to avoid major source classification under 40 CFR Section 63.2” has been removed from the STRU 26 VOC emission limit, because this limit does not effectively limit HAP emissions to less than the single and total HAPs major source thresholds (10 ton/year and 25 ton/year, respectively).
Requirements to measure specific HAP compounds during each VOC performance test have been added to the permit as specified in Appendix D, in order to confirm the controlled emission factors for these compounds (and to verify synthetic area source status under the NESHAPs program).
Monitoring conditions for the thermal oxidizer temperature limit in the permit were revised to contain a protocol for resetting the limit via an Approved Replicable Methodology, or ARM. This is a concept defined in the federal Part 70 permit rule as conditions that specify a replicable method for revising or updating monitoring parameters contained in the permit without the need to do a permit amendment.
Control efficiency limits for specific individual HAPs have been added to the permit at subject item TREA 25 for the purposes of calculating uncontrolled HAP emissions. Compliance with the control equipment operating parameter limits in the permit provide assurance of compliance with these limits (control efficiency performance testing for these individual HAP compounds is not required at this time).
Recurring VOC control efficiency performance tests have been added to the permit at subject item STRU 26 to evaluate ongoing thermal oxidizer performance and to measure uncontrolled VOC emissions to the thermal oxidizer.
• STRU 79 – RTO Bypass Stack: The RTO Bypass Stack (STRU 79) has now been identified in the permit. The permit has been revised to allow up to 50 hours per year of preauthorized bypass of the
RTO when the dryer is not processing wetcake. This allows the facility to begin heating the dryer before the RTO reaches the minimum temperature limit. The permit has also been revised to include associated bypass recordkeeping requirements.
Emergency RTO bypass conditions for the dryer have been listed at subject item STRU 79 in the permit. Emergency bypasses must be reported as deviations.
• TREA 39 and STRU 80 – DDGS Cooler Baghouse and DDGS Cooler Baghouse Stack: TREA 39 and STRU 80 have now been identified in the permit. The permit has been revised to allow up to 50 hours per year of preauthorized bypass of the
dryer burners and the RTO when the DDGS cooler is operating. The permit has also been revised to include associated bypass recordkeeping requirements.
Emergency dyer burner and RTO bypass conditions for the DDGS cooler have been listed at subject item STRU 80 in the permit. Emergency bypasses must be reported as deviations.

This facility is not subject to 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. DD – Standards of Performance for Grain Handling Facilities. Applicability is based on a grain elevator’s storage capacity, which must exceed 2.5 million bushels for any grain storage facility not for human consumption. The current storage capacity of grain elevators at this facility is 616,746 bushels, and the storage capacity following installation of EQUIs 10, 13, and 16 will be 2,452,501 bushels; therefore, 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. DD does not apply. This facility is not subject to 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. NNN – Standards of Performance for Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Emissions from Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry (SOCMI) Distillation Operations. This standard applies to distillation units that do not discharge their vent streams to recovery systems. The distillation units at this facility vent to recovery systems to recover and sell ethanol; therefore, 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. NNN does not apply.
2.4 National emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) The facility has accepted limits on HAP emissions such that it is an area source under 40 CFR pt. 63. Thus, no major source NESHAPs apply. In addition, the Permittee has stated that area source NESHAPs apply to the facility. The facility is subject to 40 CFR pt. 63, subp. ZZZZ – NESHAP for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines. Applicability is based on whether a reciprocating internal combustion engine (RICE) is owned or operated at a major or area source of HAP, except that stationary RICE being tested at a test cell are not subject to this standard. EQUI 18 (Emergency Generator) and EQUI 108 (Fire Pump) are existing stationary RICE located at an area source of HAP; therefore, 40 CFR pt. 63, subp. ZZZZ applies. Compliance with 40 CFR pt. 63, subp. ZZZZ is met for both of these engines through compliance with 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. IIII, as specified at 40 CFR § 63.6590(c). The facility is subject to 40 CFR pt. 63, subp. CCCCCC – NESHAP for Source Category: Gasoline Dispensing Facilities. Applicability is based on whether a gasoline dispensing facility (GDF, as defined at 40 CFR § 63.11132) is located at an area source of HAP. The affected source to which this standard applies includes each gasoline cargo tank during the delivery of product, and each storage tank. The facility operates a gasoline dispensing facility that is located at an area source of HAP; therefore, 40 CFR pt. 63, subp. CCCCCC applies. The facility is not subject to 40 CFR pt. 63, subp. JJJJJJ – NESHAP for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers Area Sources. Applicability is based on whether the collection of boilers within a subcategory are located at an area source of HAP, except that the types of boilers listed in 40 CFR § 63.11195(a)-(k) are not subject to this standard. EQUI 35 and EQUI 36 meet the definition of “Gas-fired boiler” at 40 CFR § 63.11237 and the exemption criteria at 40 CFR § 63.11195(e); therefore, 40 CFR pt. 63, subp. JJJJJJ does not apply. The facility is not subject to 40 CFR pt. 63, subp. VVVVVV – NESHAP for Chemical Manufacturing Area Sources. Applicability is based on whether a chemical manufacturing operation processes, uses, or produces a material containing the HAP listed in Table 1 to 40 CFR pt. 63, subp. VVVVVV at an individual concentration of greater than 0.1 percent by weight. This facility does not produce any materials that contain acetaldehyde in concentrations greater than 0.1 percent by weight; therefore, 40 CFR pt. 63, subp. VVVVVV does not apply. A one-time fermentation (CO2) scrubber inlet HAPs performance test has been added to the permit at STRU 24 to confirm that the acetaldehyde concentration in the fermentation process vent is less than 0.1 percent by weight.

2.6 Dry Bulk Agricultural Commodity Standard (Bulk Ag Rule) Exemption for Temporary Storage Facilities On May 14, 2018, the State of Minnesota amended Minn. Stat. § 116.07 to provide an exemption from the Standards of Performance for Dry Bulk Agricultural Commodity Facilities (Minn. R. 7011.1000 – 7011.1015) for temporary storage facilities. The revisions to the statute include addition of the following requirements:
Minn. Stat. § 116.07, subd. 2c. Exemption from standards for temporary storage facilities subject to control. (a) A temporary storage facility located at a commodity facility that is required to be controlled under Minnesota Rules, part 7011.1005, subpart 3, is not subject to Minnesota Rules, parts 7011.1000 to 7011.1015. For all portable equipment and fugitive dust emissions directly associated with the temporary storage facility, it is determined that there is no applicable specific standard of performance.
(b) For the purposes of this subdivision, the following terms have the meanings given to them: (1) "temporary storage facility" means a facility storing grain that:
(i) uses an asphalt, concrete, or comparable base material; (ii) has rigid, self-supporting sidewalls; (iii) provides adequate aeration; and (iv) provides an acceptable covering; and
Technical Support Document, Permit Number: 11100077-101 Page 14 of 67
(2) "portable equipment" means equipment that is not fixed at any one spot and can be moved, including but not limited to portable receiving pits, portable augers and conveyors, and portable reclaim equipment directly associated with the temporary storage facility.
EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective the day following final enactment.
The temporary storage facility (TSF) at Green Plains Otter Tail, LLC includes a circular storage bunker located directly south of the ethanol production facility and a long oval-shaped storage bunker located adjacent to the circular bunker to the east. Each bunker is equipped with rigid sidewalls and fans for aeration, and a base consisting of packed-down class 5. During grain storage operations (typically fall through late spring), grain is unloaded from trucks and piled in the bunkers using portable receiving pits and augers, and then covered with large tarps. The tarps are held down with weights (tires) as well as the differential pressure caused by the aeration fans. During grain reclaim operations (typically spring through summer), the tarps are removed from the active sections of the storage piles, and grain is transferred from the piles to trucks using a front-end loader. Based on the definitions of “temporary storage facility” and “portable equipment” provided at Minn. Stat. § 116.07, subd. 2c(b), MPCA has determined that the temporary storage facility at Green Plains Otter Tail, LLC and its associated portable equipment would not be subject to the control equipment requirements or opacity standards at Minn. R. 7011.1000 – 7011.1015 if the Permittee constructed an asphalt, concrete, or comparable base material. The temporary storage operations at the facility would then be subject to the Visible Emission Restrictions for New Facilities at Minn. R. 7011.0110. The Permittee has elected to remove the TSF at Green Plains Otter Tail, LLC instead of making certain physical improvements (including upgrading the base material) to the TSF and the haul roads serving it, which may be required in order to achieve compliance with other applicable regulations. The permit contains a schedule of requirements that will result in compliance with all applicable requirements (including the Bulk Ag Rule) within three years of permit issuance.

3. Technical information
3.1 Calculations of potential to emit (PTE) Attachment 1 to this TSD contains detailed spreadsheets and supporting information prepared by the MPCA and the Permittee. The facility is permitted to produce 65.0 million gallons of undenatured ethanol. The Permittee has estimated annual grain throughput, DDGS production, and denaturant throughput based on this permit limit. Since there is some fluctuation in actual production yields, the undenatured ethanol production limit alone does not sufficiently limit the grain and DDGS annual throughputs. Additionally, there are no enforceable conditions pertaining to denaturant blending rates. Federally enforceable limitations on annual grain throughput, DDGS production, and denaturant throughput have been added to the permit, in order to ensure that the total facility potential emissions remain below NSR and NESHAPs major source thresholds. STRUs 7, 22, and 23, Uncaptured Grain/DDGS Handling Emissions Controlled PM, PM10 and PM2.5 emission rates (lb/hr) and annual limited emissions (tpy) for the units venting to STRUs 7, 22, and 23 were calculated based on the permitted emission rate limits for these pollutants. Unrestricted PTE for these pollutants was calculated based on available emission factors in AP-42 Section 9.9.1. Uncaptured grain and DDGS handling PM, PM10, and PM2.5 emission rates and unrestricted emissions were calculated based on equipment capacity, and available emission factors in AP-42 Section 9.9.1. Annual limited emissions for these units were calculated using the same emission factors, along with the assumed annual grain and DDGS throughput. Cooling Towers PM, PM10 and PM2.5 emissions for the cooling towers were calculated using the approach detailed in the September 9, 2013 Technical Memorandum from the New Mexico Environment Air Quality Bureau (NMDEQ). Emergency Engines (EQUI 18 and EQUI 108) Criteria pollutant emissions for the emergency engines were calculated based on manufacturer’s specifications, greenhouse gas emissions were calculated using emission factors from 40 CFR pt. 98 (Tables C-1 and C-2), and HAP emissions were calculated using available emission factors from AP-42 Section 3.3. Limited annual emissions were calculated assuming 500 operating hours per year, per the 1995 EPA Emergency Generator Memo.
Technical Support Document, Permit Number: 11100077-101 Page 27 of 67
Boilers and Boiler Make-Up Air Heater Criteria pollutant emissions for the boilers and make-up air heater were calculated using available emission factors from AP-42 Sections 1.4 (natural gas combustion) and 1.5 (liquefied petroleum gas combustion), greenhouse gas emissions were calculated using emission factors from 40 CFR pt. 98 (Tables C-1 and C-2), and HAP emissions were calculated using available emission factors from AP-42 Section 1.4. Ethanol Loadout/Flare Ethanol loadout VOC and HAP emissions were calculated using equations in AP-42 Section 5.2, and HAP contents of the gasoline denaturant. The overall control efficiency has been calculated assuming a capture efficiency of 98.7%, which is based on the capture efficiency listed in AP-42 Section 5.2 for a tanker truck passing the NSPS-level annual test. The loadout flare emissions were calculated using available emission factors from AP-42 Sections 1.4 and 13.5, and 40 CFR pt. 98 (greenhouse gases). STRUs 24 and 25 The controlled VOC emission rate (lb/hr) and limited annual emissions (tpy) from the units venting to the scrubbers were calculated based on the VOC emission rate limits in the permit (11.28 lb/hr from STRU 24 and 4.75 lb/hr from STRU 25). Controlled HAP emission rates (lb/hr) and limited annual emissions (tpy) from units venting to the scrubbers were calculated based on emission rates measured during the most-recent stack test. An engineering factor of 1.25 was used as a conservative measure. Unrestricted annual emissions were calculated for VOC and HAPs based on the estimated scrubber control efficiencies for these compounds, as discussed further in Section 3.13 of this TSD. STRU 26/RTO/DDGS Dryer and Cooler The controlled VOC, PM, PM10, PM2.5, and CO emission rates (lb/hr) and limited annual emissions (tpy) from the units venting to the RTO were calculated based on the emission rate limits for these compounds in the permit (5.0 lb/hr VOC, 5.15 lb/hr PM/PM10/PM2.5, and 12.91 lb/hr CO). Controlled emission rates of certain HAP compounds (lb/hr) and limited annual emissions (tpy) from units venting to the RTO were calculated based on emission rates measured during the most-recent stack test. An engineering factor of 1.25 was used as a conservative measure. Additional HAP emissions were calculated using available emission factors in AP-42 Section 1.4. Unrestricted annual emissions were calculated for VOC, certain HAP compounds, CO, and PM/PM10/PM2.5 based on the estimated RTO control efficiencies for each compound. NOX emissions were calculated based on historic NOX emission rate data measured from this stack, and SO2 emissions were calculated based on an assumed 3.0 lb/hr SO2 emission rate. The emission factors for NOX and SO2 from STRU 26 must be verified through performance testing once every 10 years. Uncontrolled emissions from the dryer (RTO bypass) were estimated using available emission factors from AP-42 Section 1.4. Controlled PM/PM10/PM2.5 and uncontrolled VOC and HAP emissions from the DDGS cooler (dryer burner and RTO bypass) were estimated using measured fabric filter-controlled emission rates from DDGS cooler stacks at similar Green Plains facilities in Superior, IA and Lakota, IA. For many pollutants, as a conservative and simplifying measure, the annual facility total potential emissions reflect emissions from 8,760 hours under RTO controlled operation of the dryer and cooler plus 50 hours of dryer startup bypass and 100 hours of DDGS cooler bypass. The exceptions to this include natural gas combustion HAP emissions (which are already assumed to be emitted at maximum heat input capacity, 8,760 hours per year), and RTO combustion criteria pollutants for which the STRU 26 emission rates already represent worst-case. Equipment Leaks Fugitive emissions from equipment leaks were calculated using EPA’s Protocol for Equipment Leak Emission Estimates (EPA-453/R-95-017). Volatile Organic Liquid Storage Tanks

Emissions from volatile organic liquid storage tanks were calculated using EPA’s TANKS 4.09d software. Paved and Unpaved Haul Roads Emissions from truck traffic on paved and unpaved haul roads were calculated using available emission factors from AP-42 Section 13.2. Wetcake Emissions from wetcake production and storage were calculated using the results of a 2004 stack test at the DENCO II, LLC facility in Morris, MN. Temporary Storage Facility Emissions from temporary flat storage operations were calculated using various available emission factors from AP-42 Section 9.9.1. A control efficiency of 80% was assumed for grain handling operations controlled by a proposed mineral oil application system for dust suppression. This control efficiency is based on information contained in the following resources: AP-42 Section 9.9.1, References 57 and 61 of the Background document for AP-42 Section 9.9.1, USEPA reference document EPA-453/R-94-049, grain elevators calculations guidance document from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and a letter from Thomas O’Connor of the National Grain and Feed Association to USEPA on June 30, 1997. Gasoline Storage Tank and Gasoline Dispensing Emissions from the gasoline storage tank and gasoline dispensing were calculated based on available emission factors from AP-42 Section 5.2, EPA’s TANKS 4.09d software, and HAP content data presented in USEPA reference document EPA-453/R-94-002a.
3.2 Aboveground Storage Tanks An evaluation of the applicability of 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. Kb (NSPS for post-July 23, 1984 Volatile Organic Liquid Storage Vessels) and Minn. R. 7011.1505 (Minnesota Standards of Performance for post-July 7, 1969 Storage Vessels) was performed for each of the aboveground storage tanks at the facility. Summaries of these evaluations are provided in Tables 7 and 9 below. As shown in Table 7, the four fuel tanks (gasoline tank and diesel tanks #1, #2, and #3) used for fueling off-road vehicles at the facility and the corrosion inhibitor tank are not subject to 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. Kb because these three tanks have capacities less than 75 m3. The 200-proof tanks (EQUI 58 and EQUI 59) are tanks that were identified in previous permits as being subject to 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. Kb. During this permit action, it was determined that these two tanks meet the definition of “Process Tank” at 40 CFR § 60.111b, and thus are not “Storage Vessels” subject to this standard, as shown in Table 7. This determination is consistent with the EPA determination dated 11/20/2007 “Process Tanks Defined, Control Number 0800041). While tanks EQUI 58 and EQUI 59 are not subject to 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. Kb, the Permittee has elected to continue to operate and maintain the internal floating rooves for each tank in order to reduce VOC emissions at the facility. The permit contains requirements to continue inspecting the internal floating rooves at a frequency consistent with the NSPS. There has been no change to the applicability of 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. Kb to the denaturant tank (EQUI 60) and the two denatured ethanol tanks (EQUI 61 and EQUI 62) as a result of the applicability evaluation for this standard. These tanks are all subject to 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. Kb because they were constructed after July 24, 1984, have capacities greater than 75 m3, store volatile organic liquids, and do not meet any of the exemption criteria listed in the standard.

Following the evaluation of the applicability of 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. Kb to the aboveground storage tanks at the facility, an additional evaluation of the applicability of Minn. R. 7011.1505 (Minnesota Standards of Performance for Storage Vessels was made for these tanks. Table 9 below contains a summary of this applicability determination. As shown in Table 9, the 200-proof tanks were determined to not be subject to Minn. R. 7011.1505 because these tanks store non-petroleum liquids, the gasoline tank was determined not to be subject to the standard because its capacity is less than 2,000 gallons, and the three diesel tanks and the corrosion inhibitor tank were determined not to be subject to the standard because their capacities are less than 2,000 gallons and because diesel fuel oils No. 2-D and 4-D and the corrosion inhibitor compounds are not included in the definition of petroleum liquid at Minn. R. 7011.1500, subp. 8. The denaturant tank (EQUI 60) and the two denatured ethanol tanks (EQUI 61 and EQUI 62) have each been determined to be subject to the requirements of Minn. R. 7011.1505, subp. 3(C)(1) because these storage vessels each have capacities greater than 40,000 gallons, were each constructed after June 11, 1973, and store petroleum liquids with vapor pressures greater than 78 mm Hg, but less than 570 mmHg. These tanks meet this requirement because they are each equipped with internal floating rooves, as required by 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. Kb. Table 9. Minn. R. 7011.1505 Applicability Determination

3.3 Grain Elevators
An evaluation of the applicability of 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. DD (NSPS for Grain Elevators) was performed during this permit action. As specified in 40 CFR § 60.300, 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. DD applies to any grain terminal elevator or grain storage elevator constructed, modified, or reconstructed on or after August 3, 1978. The facility does not meet the definition of “grain storage elevator” at 40 CFR § 60.301(f) because the grain elevator is not at a dry mill used to produce products for human consumption. Table 10 below provides a summary of the comparison between the facility’s permanent storage capacity and the permanent storage capacity threshold for “grain terminal elevators” as defined at 40 CFR § 60.301(c). As shown in Table 10, the permanent storage capacity of the existing facility (corn storage silos #1 and #2, only) and the permanent storage capacity following the addition of corn storage silos #3, #4, and #5 does not exceed 2.5 million bushels. The grain elevator does not meet the definition of “grain terminal elevator” at 40 CFR § 60.301(c); therefore, the facility is not subject to 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. DD.

3.4 Dispersion modeling
The original Part 70 permit (permit #11100077-004, issued February 15, 2013) contained a requirement to complete air dispersion modeling to show modeled compliance with the PM10 national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) and Minnesota ambient air quality standards (MAAQS), and to submit the air dispersion modeling results with the Part 70 reissuance application, as described in Table 11 below. Table 11. Air Dispersion Modeling Requirements from Air Permit #11100077-004 What to do Why to do it Modeling at Reissuance: The Permittee shall submit an assessment with the reissuance application (due as stated elsewhere in this permit) that addresses any changes made during the permit term that did not require a permit amendment but that affect any modeled parameter or emission rate (including adding sources beyond those documented in Appendix III) and were not assessed in a later modeling submittal. The information in this submittal shall be the same as listed in the requirement entitled “Remodeling Submittal”.
Minn. Stat. Section 116.07, subds. 4a & 9; Minn. R. 7007.0100, subp. 7(A), 7(L), & 7(M); Minn. R. 7007.0800, subps. 1, 2, & 4; Minn. R. 7009.0010-7009.0080
Remodeling Submittal: The Permittee must submit to the Commissioner for approval changes meeting the above criteria and must wait for a written approval before making such changes. For minor amendments, written approval of the modeling may be given before permit issuance; however, this approval applies only to the modeling and not to any other changes. The information submitted must include, for stack and vent sources, source emission rate, location, height, diameters, exit velocity, exit temperature, discharge direction, use of rain caps or rain hats, and, if applicable, locations and dimensions of nearby buildings. For non-stack/vent sources, this includes the source emission rate, location, size and shape, release height, and, if applicable, any emission rate scalars, and the initial lateral dimensions and initial vertical dimensions and adjacent building heights. The plume dispersion characteristics due to the revisions of the information must be equivalent or better than the dispersion characteristics modeled June 2006. The Permittee shall demonstrate this equivalency in the proposal. If the information does not demonstrate equivalent or better dispersion characteristics, or if a conclusion cannot readily be made about the dispersion, the Permittee must submit full remodeling.
Minn. Stat. Section 116.07, subds. 4a & 9; Minn. R. 7007.0100, subp. 7(A), 7(L), & 7(M); Minn. R. 7007.0800, subps. 1, 2, & 4; Minn. R. 7009.0010-7009.0080
Several operating restrictions were assumed when the modeling was conducted, so these have been incorporated as permit limits (e.g., hours of operation, daily grain throughput, etc.) in the draft/proposed Part 70 Reissuance permit. In addition, per MPCA practice, a table of the modeled parameters has been added to the permit as an appendix. Other than the specific operating restrictions mentioned above, the parameters listed in Appendix B of the permit describe the operation of the facility at maximum capacity. In other words, the flow rates and temperatures listed in Appendix B represent the minimum parameters at the maximum emission rates. The MPCA does not require any specific compliance demonstration with these
Technical Support Document, Permit Number: 11100077-101 Page 33 of 67
parameters because they are worst-case conditions. The purpose of listing the parameters in the permit appendix is to provide a benchmark for determining if and when additional modeling is required. The modeling report submitted on April 20, 2018 was based on the assumed operation of the temporary grain storage facility (TSF), also referred to as “flat storage” and “the corn bunker”. The emissions from grain receiving and pile filling, pile reclaim, and wind erosion of the pile have been designated as FUGIs 11 (Grain Receiving and Conveying at Temporary Storage Facility), 19 (Grain Reclaim Operations at Temporary Storage Facility), and 20 (Wind Erosion at Temporary Storage Facility), respectively. This modeling submittal is listed under “Operating Condition 1)” in Table 12 below. In addition to operating restrictions on daily grain throughput received at the grain receiving building, the modeling submittal included plans to pave the haul roads serving the TSF as well as plans to install a food-grade mineral oil application system at the TSF to suppress dust during outdoor grain handling operations. On an averaging basis consistent with the 24-hour PM10 NAAQS, the modeling results demonstrated a maximum 24-hour average PM10 ambient air concentration of 142 µg/m3 under these operating conditions, which is 94.7% of the standard (150 µg/m3). In a May 23, 2018 meeting between MPCA staff and Green Plains Otter Tail LLC management, it was communicated to MPCA that Green Plains Otter Tail LLC would prefer to cease operation of the TSF rather than make the capital improvements identified in the April 20, 2018 modeling submittal. Under the revised operating scenario, grain silos #3, #4, and #5 would be installed and operated in accordance with the Part 70 permit application that was received on May 21, 2012, and the TSF would be removed from the facility. Revised air dispersion modeling results were submitted to MPCA on September 28, 2018, which demonstrated a maximum 24-hour average PM10 ambient air concentration of 126 µg/m3 under these operating conditions, which is 84.0% of the standard (150 µg/m3). This modeling submittal is listed under “Operating Condition 2)” in Table 12 below.

3.5 Short Term Throughput Limits and Permit Flexibility Short-term Throughput Limits The MPCA has developed a mechanism to allow for greater permitting flexibility that is based upon the existence of short-term throughput limits. Flexibility at the emission unit level allows the facility to add, replace, and modify equipment that is vented to a common control device and vented through a common stack. Since the short-term limits identify the maximum achievable, and in some cases the maximum allowable, process throughput rate, they can then be used as an enforceable bottleneck on each “group” of emission units that is required to vent to a specific stack, and controlled by a specific type of control equipment. The flexibility language provides a mechanism that makes the short-term limit(s) applicable to any new emission unit, or modification to an existing emission unit thereby allowing the Permittee to take “credit” for the limit (as well as other applicable limits) when calculating emissions to determining the type of permitting change. MPCA staff have determined that the use of a shortened averaging time (3-hour block average), which is representative of test conditions (1-hour test run), is more appropriate and provides confidence that the Permittee will remain in compliance with the permit when allowed flexibility to make a significant amount of pre-authorized changes without review. The Permittee must have an electronic method of data to gather hourly short-term throughput rates, that maintains the records for a minimum of 5 years (a historian). There is not a requirement to calculate and report the 3-hour block average, just a requirement to maintain the data to do so upon request. With the shortened averaging period, the MPCA does not consider it necessary to track periods of downtime. An exception to the 3-hour block average would be appropriate for short-term limits based on grain-receiving receipts and DDGS-loadout receipts. These activities are typically limited to ~10-12 hour day, and compliance is based upon daily receipts. The Permittee must ensure that they have the ability to identify and track periods of down-time if they choose an 8-hour block average in lieu of a 3-hour block average. Table 14.

STRU 22 Hammermill with Baghouse
AOS 1: Flour rate ≤ 63.0 ton/hour 3-hour block average
Mash rate flow meter, slurry solids (measured using a density meter), calculations
Under Alternative Operating Scenario 1, the facility uses a flow meter to measure the mash flow rate between the liquefaction tank and the fermenters, and a density meter to measure the weight percent of slurry solids between the slurry tank and the liquefaction tank. Since the slurry solids content remains relatively consistent, the a density of 9.5 lb/gal is assumed in order to calculate the flour process rate. The mash flow rate and weight % slurry solids are recorded in the process historian. The recorded mash rate and weight % slurry solids may be used to determine the 3-hour block average flour rate for any 3-hour period.
AOS 2: Flour rate ≤ 63.0 ton/hour 3-hour block average
Mash rate flow meter, mash density meter, slurry solids (measured using a density meter), calculations
Under Alternative Operating Scenario 2, the facility uses a flow meter to measure the mash flow rate between the liquefaction tank and the fermenters, a density meter to measure the mash density between the liquefaction tank and the fermenters, and a density meter to measure the weight percent of slurry solids between the slurry tank and the liquefaction tank. The mash flow rate, mash density, and weight % slurry solids are recorded in the process historian. The recorded mash rate, mash density, and weight % slurry solids may be used to determine the 3-hour block average flour rate for any 3-hour period.
STRU 23 DDGS Loadout with Baghouse
DDGS processed ≤ 180.0 ton/hr 3-hour block average
Bulkweigher measurements and loadout receipts
The facility operates a bulkweigher for automated truck and rail DDGS loadout. The actual mass of DDGS loaded is confirmed using truck and rail scales, and a time-stamped DDGS truck or rail loadout receipt is generated for each truck or railcar filled with DDGS. Either the bulkweigher measurements or DDGS loadout receipts may be used to determine the 3-hour block average DDGS loadout rate for any 3-hour period.
STRU 24 Fermentation with CO2 Scrubber
Beer feed rate ≤ 742.0 gallon/min 3-hour block average
Beer feed rate flow meter
The facility uses a flow meter to measure the beer feed rate to the beer column. The beer feed rate is recorded in the process historian. The recorded beer feed rates may be used to determine the 3-hour block average beer feed rate for any 3-hour period.
STRU 25 Distillation (Vent Gas) Scrubber

STRU 26 DDGS with Thermal Oxidizer
Centrifuge rate ≤ 493.0 gallon/min 3-hour block average
Centrifuge rate flow meter
The facility uses a flow meter to measure the liquid volumetric flow rate to the centrifuges. Although the liquid volumetric flow rate to the centrifuges does not provide direct measurement of the grain solids (wetcake) being fed to the dryer, the two process rates are related closely enough that the centrifuge rate may reasonably be used as an indicator of the dryer throughput rate. The centrifuge rate is recorded in the process historian. The recorded centrifuge rates may be used to determine the 3-hour block average centrifuge rate for any 3-hour period.

Permit Flexibility Three types of permit flexibility were added to the permit during this permit action; flexibility to replace control equipment, flexibility to replace scrubber stacks, and flexibility to add and replace emission units. Permit flexibility is optional and is not required. The Permittee has the ability to employ the flexibility provisions, or not. Appendix C of the permit contains a table to track all units that are afforded flexibility provisions. The Permittee will need to update Appendix C whenever any changes occur and submit changes to Appendix C in the Annual Report.
3.6 Direct Emissions and Indirect Emissions Emissions are characterized as direct (emitting from the piece of equipment directly to the atmosphere, such as breathing losses from a tank), or as indirect (emissions may be generated or flow through the unit, move directly to the next unit, and thence to controls and the atmosphere through an assigned stack, such as from a molecular sieve). Some emission units may have both direct and indirect emissions. The permit will specify permit venting requirements for direct emissions and indirect emissions associated with all emission units. Relationships from each piece of equipment, not emission points, are entered into the MPCA permit database (TEMPO). There needs to be an “end-point” for the VOC-containing material that flows through the process equipment (such as a molecular sieve). This “end-point”, where the emissions are vented, is typically the distillation scrubber or the thermal oxidizer.
3.7 Operating Scenarios The permit has been written to include various control equipment alternative operating scenarios. These alternative operating scenarios allow certain changes to the operation of the control equipment, while ensuring compliance with the applicable standards. Hammermill with Baghouse The hammermill with baghouse stack (STRU 22) was determined to have insufficient process instrumentation for affording equipment flexibility to this stack. Using the current instrumentation, the Permittee may comply with Alternative Operating Scenario 1 (AOS 1), which does not allow equipment flexibility. Once the Permittee installs a mash density meter, the Permittee will have sufficient instrumentation available to calculate a real-time flour mass throughput rate, thus enabling equipment flexibility for this stack (AOS 2). Grain Receiving Baghouse, Hammermill Baghouse, and DDGS Cooler Baghouse Under normal operation, the facility maintains the Grain Receiving Baghouse (TREA 7), Hammermill Baghouse (TREA 8), and DDGS Cooler Baghouse (TREA 39) within the permitted pressure drop range. “Operating Scenario 1” denotes the normal operating permit ranges in the TREA 7, TREA 8, and TREA 39 requirements. A second operating scenario, “Operating Scenario 2”, denotes the required pressure drop ranges during periods when no emissions are vented to the fabric filters. The Compliance Assurance Monitoring (CAM) rule requires these parameters to be measured once every 24 hours, thus the Operating Scenario 2 ranges have been added to the permit to avoid recorded non-compliant readings during these periods. CO2 (Fermentation) Scrubber and Vent Gas (Distillation) Scrubber Under normal operation, the facility maintains the CO2 Scrubber (TREA 22) and Vent Gas Scrubber (TREA 23) within all permitted ranges (pressure drop range, minimum water flow rate, and scrubber additive material
Technical Support Document, Permit Number: 11100077-101 Page 37 of 67
usage rate). “Operating Scenario 1” denotes the normal operating permit ranges in the TREA 22 and TREA 23 requirements. A second operating scenario, “Operating Scenario 2”, denotes the required scrubber permit ranges during periods when no emissions are vented to the scrubbers. The Compliance Assurance Monitoring (CAM) rule requires these parameters to be measured once every 24 hours, thus the Operating Scenario 2 ranges have been added to the permit to avoid recorded non-compliant readings during these periods. Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer Under normal operation, the facility maintains the Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (TREA 25) combustion chamber temperature at or above the permitted minimum combustion chamber temperature limit. “Operating Scenario 1” denotes the normal minimum combustion chamber temperature limit in the TREA 25 requirements. A second operating scenario, “Operating Scenario 2”, denotes the required minimum temperature limit during periods when no emissions are vented to the RTO. The Compliance Assurance Monitoring (CAM) rule requires these parameters to be measured once every 24 hours, thus the Operating Scenario 2 limit has been added to the permit to avoid recorded non-compliant readings during these periods.
3.8 Preauthorized and Emergency Bypass of the RTO The permit has been revised to contain conditions related to preauthorized and emergency bypass of the RTO. The dryer is preauthorized by the permit to bypass the RTO for up to 50 hours per year (calculated on a 12-month rolling sum) when the dryer is not processing wetcake. When the dryer is not processing wetcake, the only emissions generated from the dryer are a result of natural gas combustion. Any other use of the RTO bypass stack (including bypass when the dryer is processing wetcake, and bypass in excess of 50 hours per year when the dryer is not processing wetcake) is considered emergency bypass and is required to be reported as a deviation. The DDGS cooler is preauthorized to bypass the dryer burners and the RTO for up to 50 hours per year (calculated on a 12-month rolling sum). This authorization applies to any DDGS cooler operation, including operation with DDGS. Bypass in excess of 50 hours per year is considered emergency bypass and is required to be reported as a deviation.
3.9 Bulk Agricultural Rule (BAR) The facility is subject to the Minnesota Standards for Bulk Agricultural Commodity Facilities (Minn. R. 7011.1000-7011.1015). Since the facility has an annual commodity throughput of more than 180,000 tons per year, the facility is required to meet the control requirements of Minn. R. 7011.1005, subp. 3. These requirements contain opacity limits for various activity types, including an opacity limit for any bulk agricultural commodity “handling operation” (defined in the rule as including “the use of bucket elevators, scale hoppers, conveyors, trippers, and spouts for the distribution and weighing of commodities within a commodity facility.”) While the BAR creates some uncertainty as to whether units subject to the control requirements must be vented to add-on particulate pollution control equipment (e.g. fabric filter or cyclone), an examination of the Statement of Need and Reasonableness (SONAR) for the BAR has led to the conclusion that the intent of “control” in this context means compliance with the applicable opacity standards under Minn. R. 7011.1505, subp. 3. Additionally, the term “fugitive emissions” is not explicitly defined in the BAR. Since this rule was written to compliment 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. DD (New Source Performance Standards for Grain Elevators), MPCA has contended that the definition of “fugitive emission” from 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. DD is appropriate for use in this context. 40 CFR § 60.301(h) defines “fugitive emission” to mean “the particulate matter which is not collected by a capture system and is released directly into the atmosphere from an affected facility at
Technical Support Document, Permit Number: 11100077-101 Page 38 of 67
a grain elevator”. Based on this definition, opacity limits as defined in Minn. R. 7011.1005, subp. 3(A)-(C) apply to uncaptured emissions. Uncaptured emissions originate from areas with emissions units that do not have add-on control equipment or have emissions capture systems with efficiencies of less than 100%. At the facility, this includes the uncaptured emissions from grain receiving (EQUI 117 and EQUI 118), numerous DDGS handling and storage operations (EQUIs 129 - 135), and DDGS loadout (EQUI 138). STRU 7 (Grain Receiving with Baghouse), STRU 22 (Hammermill with Baghouse) and STRU 23 (DDGS Loadout with Baghouse) each receive emissions from units that are subject to the BAR. The applicable 10% opacity limit from the control equipment discharge (Minn. R. 7011.1505, subp. 3(D)) applies individually to each unit subject to the BAR that is vented to the stack and associated fabric filter.
3.10 Performance Testing The Permittee must conduct each performance test at worst-case conditions, or at operating conditions allowed by Minn. R. 7017.2025, subp. 2, items A-C. This permit uses short-term limits to define worst-case conditions as the maximum achievable process or operating rate, for a group of emission units that vent emissions to a common stack and common control equipment during the performance test. Most processes at an ethanol plant are highly variable and/or lack good emission factors, therefore a performance test is used to verify permitting assumptions. Performance tests consist of a minimum of three separate one-hour runs, the arithmetic mean of the test runs is the result of the performance test. The MPCA will issue a Notice of Compliance letter upon verification that the test results are less than the permitted limits. The NOC will identify the process throughput rates achieved at the time of testing. The permit identifies how the process throughput rates may be reset after testing. The permit identifies how the process throughput rates may be reset after testing. If the test results are less than or equal to 80% of the lb/hr emission limit set at the stack, the short-term process throughput limit may be reset to 110% of the measured average throughput rate measured during the test runs. For stacks that have associated uncaptured emissions of particulate matter, a maximum allowable short-term throughput limit is set to ensure that assumptions relied upon in the Air Dispersion Modeling Analysis are not exceeded. If the test results are greater than 80% of any emission limit, the short-term process throughput limit will be reset to the average throughput rate measured during testing. The Permittee must maintain adequate records to demonstrate continuous compliance with these operating condition limitations. The facility has multiple units with performance test conditions. Performance testing is required to verify emission rates and emission factors. Appendix D of the permit lists the performance test recordkeeping items and test methods that must be completed during performance testing. The Table 15 contains a summary of the history of performance testing at Green Plains Otter Tail LLC. Table 15. Performance Test Results

3.12 Scrubber Additive (Ammonium Bisulfite or Sodium Bisulfite) Since acetaldehyde is not very soluble in water, Green Plains Otter Tail LLC uses a bisulfite salt (either ammonium bisulfite or sodium bisulfite) to improve scrubber control efficiency for this compound, as well as other aldehyde compounds. After dissociation of the bisulfite salt in the scrubber water, the bisulfite anion reacts with the aldehyde compound to produce a sulfonic acid, which is very soluble in water. Below is the balanced chemical reaction of aqueous ammonium bisulfite and acetaldehyde.
Although the bisulfite mass addition rate (lb/hr) is the primary driver behind this chemical reaction, the scrubber additive flow rate is measured on a volumetric basis (gal/hr). As long as the mass fraction of bisulfite salt is not altered (i.e. if the solution concentration is not changed), the approximation can be made that the scrubber additive volumetric flow rate is directly proportional to the bisulfite mass addition rate.
Technical Support Document, Permit Number: 11100077-101 Page 41 of 67
Green Plains Otter Tail is required to maintain an additive flow rate greater than or equal to the Scrubber Additive Material Usage Limit in the permit, unless a new limit is set using the Approved Replicable Methodology (ARM) as described in the permit. Additionally, the permit requires Green Plains Otter Tail to maintain ongoing records of the active chemical content of the scrubber additive used. If the facility makes any change to the active chemical content (either by changing the solution concentration onsite or by purchasing a premixed solution of a different concentration), the facility is required to maintain a calculation of the new required volumetric flow rate necessary to meet the required Scrubber Additive Material Usage Rate Limit on a bisulfite mass addition rate-basis.
3.13 HAP Control Efficiencies CO2 (Fermentation) Scrubber (TREA 22) and Vent Gas (Distillation) Scrubber (TREA 23) For the scrubbers, solubility in water is the primary parameter that has been used to estimate HAP control efficiency. The Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality has collected stack test information indicating that acetaldehyde reduction by scrubbers with chemical additive is 80 to 90 percent (85 percent has been assumed, based on the average of these two values) and 30 to 35 percent for scrubbers with no chemical additive (32.5 percent has been assumed, based on the average of these two values). For acrolein, which has limited solubility in water, the conservative estimate is made that the control efficiency is approximately 32.5 percent. The formaldehyde control efficiency is estimated to be the same as the acetaldehyde control efficiency. The methanol control efficiency is estimated to be 95 percent control efficiency based on good solubility in water. These values have been incorporated into this permit. Flare (TREA 21) The control efficiency of the flare is based on the listed VOC control efficiency in the control equipment rule (Minn. R. 7011.0070). As long as a flame is present, it is anticipated that a destruction efficiency of at least 98% will be achieved. An assumed capture efficiency of 98.7% for NSPS-compliant tanker trucks (AP-42 Section 5.2) was used to arrive at an overall VOC/HAP control efficiency of 96.7% for the flare. Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (TREA 25) For the regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO), autoignition temperature is the primary parameter that has been used to estimate HAP control efficiency. Auto-ignition temperature is defined as the minimum temperature required to ignite a gas or vapor in air without a spark or flame being present. Table 17 lists the auto-ignition temperatures for several of the VOC and HAP compounds present in the DDGS dryer exhaust. Table 17.

Design of Thermal Oxidation Systems for Volatile Organic Compounds by David Lewandowski (2000) presents a table describing the minimum temperature and residence time necessary to achieve certain desired volatile organic compound destruction efficiencies. This table indicates that a 0.5 second residence time at 300 °F above autoignition temperature is sufficient to achieve a VOC destruction efficiency of 95%, and that a 0.5 second residence time at 400 °F above autoignition temperature is sufficient to achieve a VOC destruction efficiency of 98% (Lewandowski, pp. 27). The RTO has a residence time of approximately 1.0 seconds, and the current minimum RTO combustion chamber outlet temperature limit is 1,615 °F (> 400 °F above the autoignition temperatures of the compounds listed above); therefore, a VOC destruction efficiency of 97% is reasonable for the RTO. Additionally, a VOC destruction efficiency performance test for the RTO was conducted on 11/14/2012, which demonstrated an average VOC destruction efficiency of 97.2% during the test.
3.14 Monitoring
In accordance with the Clean Air Act, it is the responsibility of the owner or operator of a facility to have sufficient knowledge of the facility to certify that the facility is in compliance with all applicable requirements. For CAM, the Permittee submitted a CAM proposal as required by 40 CFR § 64.3. It can be found in Attachment 5 to this TSD. Further discussion of decisions about CAM can be found in Table 5. In evaluating the monitoring included in the permit, the MPCA considered the following:
• the likelihood of the facility violating the applicable requirements; • whether add-on controls are necessary to meet the emission limits; • the variability of emissions over time; • the type of monitoring, process, maintenance, or control equipment data already available for the
emission unit; • the technical and economic feasibility of possible periodic monitoring methods; and • the kind of monitoring found on similar units elsewhere.

*Location of the requirement in the permit (e.g., EQUI 1, STRU 2, etc.).
3.15 Insignificant activities Green Plains Otter Tail LLC has several operations which are classified as insignificant activities under the MPCA’s permitting rules. These are listed in Appendix A to the permit. The permit is required to include periodic monitoring for all emissions units, including insignificant activities, per EPA guidance. The insignificant activities at this Facility are only subject to general applicable requirements. Using the criteria outlined earlier in this TSD, the following table documents the justification
Technical Support Document, Permit Number: 11100077-101 Page 64 of 67
why no additional periodic monitoring is necessary for the current insignificant activities. See Attachment 1 of this TSD for PTE information for the insignificant activities. Table 19. Insignificant activities
Insignificant activity General applicable emission limit Discussion
Indirect heating equipment with a heat input capacity less than 420,000 Btu/hour, etc.
PM ≤ 0.4 lb/MMBtu Opacity ≤ 20% with exceptions (Minn. R. 7011.0515)
The Permittee operates three (3) natural gas fired furnaces for heating office areas (0.21 MMBtu/hr total). For these units, based on the fuels used and EPA published emissions factors, it is highly unlikely that they could violate the applicable requirements.
Emissions from a laboratory, as defined in Minn. R. 7007.1300, subp. 3(D).
PM, variable depending on airflow Opacity ≤ 20% (Minn. R. 7011.0715)
The Permittee operates a product testing laboratory. These are very small, intermittent, bench-top operations that typically do not even have any emissions. It is highly unlikely that they could violate the applicable requirement.
Brazing, soldering, torch-cutting, or welding equipment
PM, variable depending on airflow Opacity ≤ 20% (Minn. R. 7011.0715)
The Permittee operates welding equipment for plant maintenance. For these units, based on EPA published emissions factors, it is highly unlikely that they could violate the applicable requirement. In addition, these units are typically operated and vented inside a building, so testing for PM or opacity is not feasible.
Individual units with potential emissions less than 2000 lb/year of certain pollutants
Thin Stillage Loadout, CIP System, Corn Oil Tank, Yeast Mix Tank, and Corrosion Inhibitor Tank PM, variable depending on airflow Opacity ≤ 20% (Minn. R. 7011.0715) Space Heaters PM, variable depending on airflow Opacity ≤ 20% with exceptions (Minn. R. 7011.0610)
The Permittee operates a thin stillage loadout operation, a clean-in-place (CIP) system using a dilute caustic soda solution, a corn oil tank, a yeast mix tank, a corrosion inhibitor tank, six (6) natural gas fired (or steam supplied) space heaters (0.14 MMBtu/hr each) and two (2) kerosene fired space heaters (0.21 MMBtu/hr and 0.20 MMBtu/hr). For the natural gas and kerosene heaters, based on the fuels used and EPA published emissions factors, it is highly unlikely that they could violate the applicable requirement. In addition, all of these units are operated and vented inside a building, so testing for PM or opacity is not feasible. The thin stillage loadout, CIP system, corn oil tank, and yeast mix tank are not expected to generate PM emissions.
Fugitive dust emissions from unpaved roads and parking lots
Requirement to take reasonable measures to prevent PM from becoming airborne (Minn. R. 7011.0150)
Some unpaved pull-offs, parking spaces, or other unpaved areas exist at the facility which may potentially be used for non-routine traffic. The unpaved haul roads serving the temporary storage facility are denoted as subject item FUGI 18 in the permit. The draft permit contains a general requirement that this standard must be met.
Individual units with potential or actual emissions meeting the criteria in Minn. R. 7007.1300, subp. 4(A)-(D)
PM, variable depending on airflow Opacity ≤ 20% (Minn. R. 7011.0715)
The Permittee operates a scalper bin used for catching large debris discharged from the scalper. Nearly all of the material routed to the scalper bin is as large or larger than a whole corn kernel; therefore, it is highly unlikely that this unit could violate the applicable requirement.

3.16 Permit organization In general, this permit meets the MPCA Tempo Guidance for ordering and grouping of requirements as well as the use of permit appendices, with a few exceptions as noted below. One item that deviates from MPCA Tempo Guidance is the listing of certain applicable requirements at the stack subject item (STRU) level, even though they apply at the individual unit. Specifically, the Industrial Process Equipment Rule (IPER) is listed at STRUs 22, 24, and 25, and the Bulk Ag. Rule (BAR) is listed at STRUs 7, 22, and 23 in the permit. In general, limits that apply to individual pieces of equipment should be tracked at the unit level and should not be listed at a stack subject item. The stack subject item has been chosen as the appropriate location for listing these limits in these instances due to the flexible permitting language structure contained within this permit. Compliance with all applicable limits for these stacks must be tracked on a stack-basis for all units venting to the stack. A second item that deviates from MPCA Tempo Guidance is the listing of the VOC percent overall control efficiency performance testing requirements at the stack subject item (STRU) level, rather than the control equipment subject item (TREA) level (see subject items STRUs 24, 25, and 26 of the permit). This change was made for improved permit clarity, because the VOC percent overall control efficiency testing is required to be performed consecutively with the VOC as mass (lb/hr) performance testing. A third item that deviates from MPCA Tempo Guidance is that the semiannual report required by 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. VV has been listed at subject item TFAC 2 in Section 6 (just below the semiannual deviations reporting requirement). This change was made so that the semiannual reporting requirements are listed in the same general location in the permit for clarity. The semiannual reports required by 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. VV are required to be submitted with the semiannual deviations reports required by the permit.

4. Permit fee assessment This permit action is the reissuance of an individual Part 70; therefore, no application fees apply under Minn. R. 7002.0016, subp. 1 to the changes that are covered by the reissuance application. However, the permit action rolls in two additional administrative amendment applications to which fees do apply. There are no additional points for either of these administrative amendment applications. The action includes the incorporation of a second NESHAP, however this was an existing standard that applied to the facility and is not a chargeable activity (i.e., the standard was not triggered by the modifications requested in the permit applications – it falls under a permit reopening being incorporated in the reissuance).
5. Conclusion Based on the information provided by Green Plains Otter Tail LLC the MPCA has reasonable assurance that the proposed operation of the emission facility, as described in the Air Emission Permit No. 11100077-101 and this TSD, will not cause or contribute to a violation of applicable federal regulations and Minnesota Rules.

1 - PM, PM10 and PM2.5 emission rates are based on stack testing performed in January, 2018 on a similar source at Green Plains Ord. VOC and HAP emission rates are based on stack testing performed in October, 2017 on a similar source at Green Plains Ord. HAPs were not detected during the testing but are included at their respective detection limits.
The individual fractions of these HAP compounds present in the DDGS cooler exhaust is unknown. MPCA staff has accepted the use of measured HAP emission rates from the Ord, NE facilty as a means for estimating HAP emissions from these operations to support this permit action, and not necessarily from future permit actions, as they don't impact any applicability determinations. These emission factors should not be considered to be approved by the MPCA.

The individual fractions of these HAP compounds present in various fermentation process streams are unknown. MPCA staff has accepted the use of measured fermentation scrubber-controlled HAP emission rates as a means for estimating HAP emissions from equipment leaks in the fermentation process to support this permit action, and not necessarily from future permit actions, as they don't impact any applicability determinations. These emission factors should not be considered to be approved by the MPCA. The concentration of acetaldehyde in the beer stream has been conservatively estimated for the purposes of calculating HAP emissions. Measurements of acetaldehyde in the beerwell at the facility (October 2011) have demonstrated that concentrations do not exceed 0.02 percent by weight.

If visible emissions are observed, the Permittee must take corrective actions to eliminate visible emissions as soon as possible and must report a deviation, unless opacity readings conducted by the Permittee as described below are less than the opacity limit.
If the VE readings are conducted by a certified opacity reader, the Permittee has the option of immediately determining the opacity from the emissions source using the Alternative Test Method for Opacity Determination for Intermittent Dust‐Generating Operations found in Appendix G of this permit. If the opacity results are less than the permit requirement, the Permittee is not required to take further corrective actions, nor report a deviation. If after one year of documented opacity readings that no deviations are reported, the Permittee may reduce the frequency to once each week of operation while DDGS is being removed from the storage pile and delivered to the receiving pit. If any corrective actions are to be reversed subsequent to the opacity readings (such as opening a door), a subsequent VE reading shall be conducted to verify that no visible emissions are present. The Permi ee shall maintain records of all observa ons.
As an alternative to conducting the initial VE readings, the Permittee may determine initial compliance with the opacity limits using the Alternative Test Method for Opacity Determination for Intermittent Dust‐Generating Operations found in Appendix G of this permit using a certified observer.

The Permittee must apply for and obtain a major permit amendment if the Permittee wishes to deviate from the Protocol for Resetting the Short‐Term Process Throughput Limit required by this permit. [Minn. R. 7007.1500, subp. 1]
Protocol for Rese ng Short‐Term Process Throughput Limits:
The Permittee shall conduct performance testing to measure PM/PM10/PM2.5 emission rates as required elsewhere in this permit. If an established Short‐Term Process Throughput Limit is to be reset, the reset shall be based on the Short‐Term Process Throughput Limit values recorded during the most recent MPCA‐approved performance test where compliance was demonstrated.
During each performance test, the Permittee must monitor the grain‐receiving rate and any other process and control parameters detailed in Appendix D. A printout of the records relied upon during testing, and used to calculate the short‐term throughput limit must be included with the performance test results and submitted to the Commissioner with the performance test report. This may include grain‐receiving receipts for the 3‐hour period of the performance test. The Permittee shall calculate the average grain‐receiving rate for each individual compliant test run. Down me of 15 minutes or more is not to be included as opera ng me.
The Short‐Term Process Throughput Limit shall be reset as follows:
‐ If the test results are less than or equal to 80% of tested STRU 7 emission limits, the short‐term process throughput limit may be reset to 110% of the average throughput rate measured during the test runs;
‐ If the test results are greater than 80% of any STRU 7 emission limit, the short‐term process throughput limit will be reset to the average throughput rate measured during tes ng.
The new Short‐Term Process Throughput Limit shall be effective upon receipt of the Notice of Compliance/Notice of Test Verification letter that approves the test results and shall be incorporated into the permit when the permit is next amended. The Short‐Term Process Throughput Limit must remain in the permit to define the maximum allowable capacity of the process, as well as to reflect process throughput rates established during performance testing.

Protocol for Rese ng Short‐Term Process Throughput Limits:
The Permittee shall conduct performance testing to measure PM/PM10/PM2.5 emission rates as required elsewhere in this permit. If an established Short‐Term Process Throughput Limit is to be reset, the reset shall be based on the Short‐Term Process Throughput Limit values recorded during the most recent MPCA‐approved performance test where compliance was demonstrated.
During each performance test, the Permittee must monitor the DDGS loadout rate and any other process and control parameters detailed in Appendix D. A printout of the records relied upon during testing, and used to calculate the short‐term throughput limit must be included with the performance test results and submitted to the Commissioner with the performance test report. This may include DDGS loadout receipts for the 3‐hour period of the performance test. The Permittee shall calculate the average DDGS loadout rate for each individual compliant test run. Down me of 15 minutes or more is not to be included as opera ng me.
The Short‐Term Process Throughput Limit shall be reset as follows:
‐ If the test results are less than or equal to 80% of tested STRU 23 emission limits, the short‐term process throughput limit may be reset to 110% of the average throughput rate measured during the test runs;
‐ If the test results are greater than 80% of any STRU 23 emission limit, the short‐term process throughput limit will be reset to the average throughput rate measured during tes ng.
The new Short‐Term Process Throughput Limit shall be effective upon receipt of the Notice of Compliance/Notice of Test Verification letter that approves the test results and shall be incorporated into the permit when the permit is next amended. The Short‐Term Process Throughput Limit must remain in the permit to define the maximum allowable capacity of the process, as well as to reflect process throughput rates established during performance testing.

Procedure to Increase Short‐Term Process Throughput Limit:
The Permittee may increase the process throughput limit by conducting a performance test at an operating rate that exceeds the permitted Short‐Term Process Throughput Limit and meeting requirements 1 through 4 below.
1. Performance Test Notification (written): due 30 to 90 days before performance test at an increased process throughput rate. In the notification, the Permittee shall identify the date on which they wish to be authorized to exceed the short‐term throughput limit, if prior to the test date.
2. The Permittee may exceed the existing short‐term process throughput limit upon MPCA receipt of the notification of a performance test at a higher process throughput.
3. The short‐term process throughput limit will be reset through receipt of a Notice of Compliance/Notice of Test Verification letter using the considerations described in the short‐term throughput limit above.
4. The Permittee must calculate actual emissions (i.e. for deviations, emission inventory or any other purpose) using the emission rate from the increased process throughput performance test retroactive to the date identified in the Performance Test Notification.
The Permittee shall follow TFAC requirements for other required performance testing notifications and submittals. [Minn. R. 7007.0800, subp. 2, Minn. R. 7017.2017, Minn. R. 7017.2030, subps. 1‐4, Minn. R. 7017.2035, subps. 1‐2]

Protocol for Resetting Short‐Term Process Throughput Limits:
The Permittee shall conduct performance testing to measure the PM/PM10/PM2.5 emission rate, CO emission rate, VOC emission rate, and VOC control efficiency as required elsewhere in this permit. If an established Short‐Term Process Throughput Limit is to be reset, the reset shall be based on the Short‐Term Process Throughput Limit values recorded during the most recent MPCA‐approved performance test where compliance was demonstrated.
During each performance test, the Permittee must monitor the centrifuge rate and syrup feed rate, and any other process and control parameters detailed in Appendix D. A printout of the records relied upon during testing, and used to calculate the short‐term throughput limit must be included with the performance test results and submitted to the Commissioner with the performance test report. The Permittee shall calculate the average centrifuge rate and syrup feed rate for each individual compliant test run. Downtime of 15 minutes or more is not to be included as operating time.
The Short‐Term Process Throughput Limit shall be reset as follows:
‐ If the test results are less than or equal to 80% of tested STRU 26 emission limits, the short‐term process throughput limit associated with the tested pollutant may be reset to 110% of the average throughput rate measured during the test runs;
‐ If the test results are greater than 80% of any STRU 26 emission limit, the short‐term process throughput limit associated with the tested pollutant will be reset to the average throughput rate measured during testing.
‐ The permit contains multiple short‐term throughput limits for the same feed rates which may be reset independently as a result of performance testing. The Permittee must comply with all short‐term process limits set for each stack.
The new Short‐Term Process Throughput Limit shall be effective upon receipt of the Notice of Compliance/Notice of Test Verification letter that approves the test results and shall be incorporated into the permit when the permit is next amended. The Short‐Term Process Throughput Limit must remain in the permit to define the maximum allowable capacity of the process, as well as to reflect process throughput rates established during performance testing.

Procedure to Increase Process Throughput Limits:
The Permittee may increase the process throughput limits and reset control equipment operating parameters by conducting a performance test at an operating rate that exceeds the permitted process throughput limit and meeting requirements 1 through 4 below.
1. Performance Test Notification (written): due 30 to 90 days before performance test at an increased process throughput rate. In the notification, the Permittee shall identify the date on which they wish to be authorized to exceed the short‐term throughput limit, if prior to the test date.
2. The Permittee may exceed the existing short‐term process throughput limit upon MPCA receipt of the notification of performance test at a higher process throughput (required by item 1 above).
3. The short‐term process throughput limit will be reset through receipt of a Notice of Compliance/Notice of Test Verification letter using the considerations described in the short‐term throughput limit above.
4. The Permittee must calculate actual emissions (i.e. for deviations, emission inventory or any other purpose) using the emission rate from the increased process throughput performance test retroactive to the date identified in the Performance Test Notification.
The Permittee shall follow TFAC requirements for other required performance testing notifications and submittals. [Minn. R. 7007.0800, subp. 2, Minn. R. 7017.2017, Minn. R. 7017.2030, subps. 1‐4, Minn. R. 7017.2035, subps. 1‐2]

Section 5. Discussion Enter any discussion or comments on the information provided in this form (this can be used as a substitute for a written report):
In the 'Comments on Other Sections' section of the Approval of Modeling Protocol by Permit Engineer, the following are listed as potential permit limits based on modeling:
Indoor grain receiving (EQUI 20/EU001, EQUI 23/EU004, STRU 7/SV001 and FUGI 10/FS001)
- Daily grain received in receiving pits limited to 7,250 tons per day (includes temporary storage reclaim trucks).
- Number of straight trucks limited to 14 trucks per day.
- December through August operating hours limited to 7 AM to 7 PM, Monday - Friday.
- September through November operating hours limited to 7 AM to 7 PM, Monday - Saturday.
Temporary storage pile operations (FUGI 11/FS007)
- Grain received outdoors limited to hopper trucks only.
- Daily grain received outdoors limited to 2,800 tons per day.
- The Permittee will be required to operate and monitor the mineral oil application system during outdoor grain receiving operations.
- Outdoor grain receiving and temporary storage pile filling operating months limited to July through November. July through August operating hours limited to 7 AM to 7 PM, Monday - Friday, September through November operating hours limited to 7 AM to 7 PM, Monday - Saturday.
- Daily grain reclaimed from temporary storage pile limited to 2,520 tons per day.
- Temporary storage pile reclaim operations will be limited to March through June, 7 AM to 7 PM, Monday - Friday.
- Oval temporary storage pile must remain at least 2/3 covered (only 1/3 of the surface area may be exposed at any time).
- The Permittee has stated that grain silos #4 and #5 (which have not yet been constructed) will not be operated simultaneously with the temporary storage pile (FUGI 11/FS007). A permit condition will be added prohibitting operation of silos #4 and #5 while the temporary storage pile is in place.
DDGS Loadout Operations (STRU 23/SV011 and FUGI 14/FS002)
- DDGS loadout operating hours limited to 7 AM to 5 PM, Monday - Friday.
The following operational constraints that are listed above appear to be inadvertantly carried over from previous modeling protocol submittals and are not applicable to the modeling demonstration summarized in this report:
- Daily grain received outdoors limited to 2,800 tons per day (100,000 BU/day).
Emissions from receiving at the temporary storage pile are based on 7,280 ton/day (260,000 BU/day) grain received.
- Daily grain reclaimed from temporary storage pile limited to 2,520 tons per day (90,000 BU/day).
Emissions from reclaiming the temporary storage pile are based on 3,080 ton/day (110,000 BU/day) grain reclaimed.
- Oval temporary storage pile must remain at least 2/3 covered (only 1/3 of the surface area may be exposed at any time).
Wind erosion emissions are based on the entire pile area and are included in the model for all hours of the year so no restriction on exposed area is warranted.
In the 'Comments on Approvable-Status' section of the Approval of Modeling Protocol by Permit Engineer, the comment states 'The Permittee will need to submit a supplement to the reissuance application to incorporate assumptions relied upon in the modeling.' A supplement to the reissuance application will be be provided under separate cover to address changes and additions to the original application resulting from the modeling protocol development process. The supplement will include changes to affected application forms and incorporation of any proposed operational constraints not currently included in the application.
Modeling input files for the nearby source, Otter Tail Power Company, are included in Attachment B. The modeling input files were provided by Jim Sullivan, MPCA, on March 29, 2017. As requested in the protocol approval form, the modeling inputs for this facility are also summarized in tabular format.

III. Justification
A. BackgroundPM emissions from the grain receiving and handling equipment are controlled by theGrain Receiving Baghouse.
B. Rationale for Selection of Performance IndicatorBaghouses are standard PM emission controls from grain processing operationcreating particulate emissions and are typically cited as best available controltechnology (BACT) for such applications. Baghouses operate by collectingparticulate on porous fabric bags, thus resulting in a pressure differential across thesystem. The gas stream is passed through the fabric which results in pressure; toomuch pressure indicates a possible plugging of the system and too little indicatespossible bag breakage. Visible emissions also indicate potential issues with theperformance of the baghouse. Therefore, visible emissions and pressure drop are thebest indicator of baghouse performance.
C. Rationale for Selection of Indicator LevelBaghouses remove dust from a gas stream by passing the stream through a porousfabric. Particles form a porous cake on the fabric that acts as the filtration device.This porous cake is routinely removed and collected and returned to the process.
Green Plains Otter Tail, LLC Page 3 of 3
Baghouses are subject to failure if they are not properly operated and maintained. An indicator minimum pressure drop of at least 0.25 inches of water is recommended to achieve the required control efficiency. Depending on the age of the bag and the amount of cake on the bag, the operational range of the pressure drop is variable. The selected range is a representative range of operation.
The selected QIP threshold for the daily pressure drop is six excursions during a semi-annual reporting period. If the QIP threshold is exceeded during a semi-annual reporting period, a QIP will be developed and implemented.

III. Justification
A. BackgroundVOC emissions from Truck Ethanol Loadout (EQUI4/EU031) and Rail Ethanol Loadout (EQUI116) are controlled by the Loadout Flare.
B. Rationale for Selection of Performance IndicatorThe use of a flare at ethanol facilities is typically considered best available control technology (BACT) for ethanol loading operations. Since the vapors from the transport vessel are flammable, the presence of a flame in the flare results in combustion of the vapors and the destruction of VOC. Therefore, confirmation that a flame is present during loading operations is recommended to achieve the desired VOC control.
C. Rationale for Selection of Indicator LevelThe indicator was selected to allow a simple and effective procedure for compliance tracking purposes. When an excursion occurs corrective action will be initiated based upon the observed operating parameters. All excursions will be documented and reported.
Green Plains Otter Tail, LLC Page 3 of 3
The selected QIP threshold for flare operations is 6 excursions during the semi-annual reporting period. If the QIP threshold is exceeded in a semi-annual reporting period, a QIP will be developed and implemented.

B. Rationale for Selection of Performance IndicatorTo comply with the applicable emission limit, a minimum water flow rate must be supplied to the scrubber to absorb a given amount of VOC in the gas stream, given the size of the tower and height of the packed bed. The liquid to gas (L/G) ratio is a key operating parameter of the scrubber. If the L/G ratio decreases below the minimum, sufficient mass transfer of the pollutant from the gas phase to the liquid phase may not occur. Results from stack testing are used as a minimum liquid flow required to maintain the proper L/G ratio at the maximum gas flow and vapor loading through the scrubber. Maintaining this minimum liquid flow, even during
Green Plains Otter Tail, LLC Page 3 of 3
periods of reduced air flow, will help ensure that the ideal L/G ratio is achieved at all times.
C. Rationale for Selection of Indicator LevelThe minimum water flow rate indicator level was chosen based on stack test results.

The work practice of an annual inspection and tuning of the incinerator burner wasselected because an inspection verifies equipment integrity and periodic tuning willmaintain proper burner operation and efficiency.
C. Rationale for Selection of Indicator LevelThe minimum operating temperature of the thermal oxidizer is based on the averagetemperature recorded during the most recent MPCA-approved VOC performancetesting that demonstrated compliance with permit limits.

I. Background
A. Emissions Unit Description: DDGS Cooler (EQUI56) Facility: Green Plains Otter Tail, LLC
Fergus Falls, Minnesota
B. Applicable Regulation, Emission Limit, and Monitoring Requirements Regulation No.: Air Emission Permit # 11100077-004 TPM Emission Limit or Standard: 5.15 lb/hr
Note: this emission limit is the RTO (TREA25) emission limit as the DDGS cooler baghouse is routed to the RTO during normal operations.
Current Monitoring Requirements: None
C. Control Technology Fabric Filter Baghouse
II. DDGS Cooler Baghouse (TREA39) Monitoring Approach
A. Indicator Visible emissions/pressure drop will be used as the performance indicator.
B. Measurement Approach
The key elements of the monitoring approach, including the indicators to be monitored, indicator ranges, and performance criteria are presented in Table 1.
Table 1. Monitoring Approach
I. Indicator Visible emissions/pressure drop.
Measurement Approach
Visible emissions or pressure drop will be monitored and recorded at least once each day of operation.
II. Indicator Range No visible emissions or a minimum pressure drop of 0.5 inches of water shall be maintained during operation.
Corrective Action Each excursion triggers an inspection, corrective action, and a reporting requirement.
QIP Threshold An accumulation of excursions outside the indicator range of six or more for a reporting period excluding periods of startup, shutdown and malfunction.

D. Monitoring Frequency
Visible emissions observation or the pressure drop will be recorded a minimum of once per day during operations.
Data Collection Procedures
The pressure drop will be recorded electronically or manually.
Averaging period Not applicable. E. Record Keeping Maintain for a period of 2 years records of electronic media
and corrective actions taken in response to excursions. F. Reporting Number, duration, and cause of any excursion and the
corrective action taken.
Frequency Semiannually.
III. Justification
A. Background Particulate emissions from the DDGS Cooler equipment are controlled by the DDGS Cooler Baghouse.
B. Rationale for Selection of Performance Indicator
Baghouses are standard PM and PM10 emission controls from the DDGS Cooler operation creating particulate emissions, and they are typically cited as best available control technology (BACT) for such applications. Baghouses operate by collecting particulate on porous fabric bags, thus resulting in a pressure differential across the system. The gas stream is passed through the fabric which results in pressure; too much pressure indicates a possible plugging of the system and too little indicates possible bag breakage. Visible emissions also indicate potential issues with the performance of the baghouse. Therefore, visible emissions and pressure drop are the best indicator of baghouse performance.
C. Rationale for Selection of Indicator Level
Baghouses remove dust from a gas stream by passing the stream through a porous fabric. Particles form a porous cake on the fabric that acts as the filtration device. This porous cake is routinely removed and collected and returned to the process. Baghouses are subject to failure if they are not properly operated and maintained. An indicator minimum pressure drop of at least 0.5 inches of water is recommended to achieve the required control efficiency. Depending on the age of the bag and the amount of cake on the bag, the operational range of the pressure drop is variable. The selected range is a representative range of operation.
Green Plains Otter Tail, LLC Page 3 of 3
The selected QIP threshold for the daily pressure drop is six excursions during a semi-annual reporting period. If the QIP threshold is exceeded during a semi-annual reporting period, a QIP will be developed and implemented.

The purpose of this guidance is to address the determinationof PTE for emergency electrical generators.
Background
In a memorandum dated January 25, 1995, the EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) addressed a number of issues related tothe determination of a source's PTE under section 112 and title Vof the Clean Air Act (Act). One of the issues discussed in thememorandum was the term "maximum capacity of a stationary sourceto emit under its physical and operational design," which is partof the definition of "potential to emit." The memorandumclarified that inherent physical limitations, and operationaldesign features which restrict the potential emissions ofindividual emission units, can be taken into account. Thisclarification was intended to address facilities for which thetheoretical use of equipment is much higher than could everactually occur in practice. For such facilities, if their
physical limitations or operational design features are not taken
into account, the potential emissions could be overestimated andconsequently the source owner could be subject to the Actrequirements affecting major sources. Although such sourceowners could in most cases readily accept enforceable limitationsrestricting the operation to its designed level, EPA believesthis administrative requirement for such sources to beunnecessary and burdensome.
On the topic of "physical and operational design," theJanuary 25 memorandum provided a general discussion. Inaddition, EPA committed to providing technical assistance on thetype of inherent physical and operational design features thatmay be considered acceptable in determining the potential to emitfor certain individual small source categories. The EPA iscurrently conducting category-specific analyses in support ofthis effort, and hopes as a result of these analyses to generatemore general guidance on this issue as well.
The purpose of this memorandum is to address the issue ofPTE as it relates specifically to emergency generators. There isa significant level of interest in this source category becausethere are many thousands of locations for which an emergencygenerator is the only emitting source. Moreover, based on areview of this source category, there exists a readilyidentifiable constraint on the operational design of emergencygenerators. Hence, the EPA believes it would be useful toprovide today's guidance before the entire effort is complete.
The policies set forth in this memorandum are intendedsolely as guidance, do not represent final Agency action, andcannot be relied upon to create any rights enforceable by anyparty.
Guidance for Emergency Generators
For purposes of today's guidance, an "emergency generator"means a generator whose sole function is to provide back-up powerwhen electric power from the local utility is interrupted. Theemission source for such generators is typically a gasoline ordiesel-fired engine, but can in some cases include a small gasturbine. Emissions consist primarily of carbon monoxide andnitrogen oxides. Other criteria pollutants, and hazardous airpollutants, are also emitted, but at much lower levels. Emissions occur only during emergency situations (i.e., whereelectric power from the local utility is interrupted), and for avery short time to perform maintenance checks and operatortraining.

The EPA believes that generators devoted to emergency usesare clearly constrained in their operation, in the sense that, bydefinition and design, they are used only during periods whereelectric power from public utilities is unavailable. Two factorsindicate that this constraint is in fact "inherent." First,while the combined period for such power outages during any oneyear will vary somewhat, an upper bound can be estimated whichwould never be expected to be exceeded absent extraordinarycircumstances. Second, the duration of these outages areentirely beyond the control of the source, and when they do occur(except in the case of a major catastrophe) rarely last more thana day.
For emergency generators, EPA has determined that areasonable and realistic "worst-case" estimate of the number ofhours that power would be expected to be unavailable from thelocal utility may be considered in identifying the "maximumcapacity" of such generators for the purpose of estimating theirPTE. Consequently, EPA does not recommend the use of 8760 hoursper year (i.e., full-year operation) for calculating the PTE foremergency generators. Instead, EPA recommends that the potentialto emit be determined based upon an estimate of the maximumamount of hours the generator could operate, taking into account(1) the number of hours power would be expected to be unavailableand (2) the number of hours for maintenance activities.
The EPA believes that 500 hours is an appropriate defaultassumption for estimating the number of hours that an emergencygenerator could be expected to operate under worst-caseconditions. Alternative estimates can be made on a case-by-casebasis where justified by the source owner or permitting authority(for example, if historical data on local power outages indicatethat a larger or smaller number would be appropriate). Using the500 hour default assumption, EPA has performed a number ofcalculations for some typically-sized emergency generators. These calculations indicate that these generators, in and ofthemselves, rarely emit at major source levels. (Of course,there may be unusual circumstances where these calculations wouldnot be representative, for example where many generators arepresent that could operate simultaneously).
Cautions
Today's guidance is only meant to address emergencygenerators as described. Specifically, the guidance does notaddress: (1) peaking units at electric utilities; (2) generatorsat industrial facilities that typically operate at low rates, butare not confined to emergency purposes; and (3) any standby

generator that is used during time periods when power isavailable from the utility. This guidance is also not intendedto discourage permitting authorities from establishingoperational limitations in construction permits when suchlimitations are deemed appropriate or necessary. Additionally,this memorandum is not intended to be used as the basis torescind any such restrictions already in place.
