Purpose of the meeting
A public briefing by the Department of Environmental Quality on a permit application from O-N Minerals Company to modify its Winchester lime manufacturing plant. The facility is classified as a major source of air pollution and is located at 508 Quarry Lane, Clear Brook, Virginia 22624. The existing rotary lime kiln will be replaced by two new vertical lime kilns, and much of the existing limestone and lime processing and handling equipment will be replaced or repurposed. The maximum annual emissions of air pollutants from the facility are expected to be: Nitrogen Oxides: 336.1 tons/year Sulfur Dioxide: 204.5 tons/year Carbon Monoxide: 478.1 tons/year Volatile Organic Compounds: 26.4 tons/year Sulfuric Acid Mist: 6.3 tons/year Total Particulate Matter: 108.5 tons/year Particulate Matter <10 microns: 97.4 tons/year Particulate Matter <2.5 microns: 57.4 tons/year Greenhouse Gases: 363,833 tons/year (CO2 equivalent) The applicant proposes to use coal, petroleum coke, and natural gas as fuel in the new lime kilns. The applicant has conducted extensive air quality modeling, which demonstrates that the proposed modifications will not cause or significantly contribute to any predicted violations of any applicable National Ambient Air Quality Standards, Class II area PSD increment, or Class I area PSD increment. A separate notice will be published in approximately one month regarding the public comment period and public hearing on this proposed permit.
