ERC APPLICATION EVALUATION
Processing Engineer: C. Valverde Date: 12 February 1996
Facility N aine: A.L. Gilbert (Berry Seed & Feed Company) Mailing Address: P.O. Box 459
Keyes, CA 95328
Project Number: 950107 Certificate Number: N-104-4
Date Application Received: 01 March 1995 Date Application Deemed Complete: 07 April 1995
I. SUMMARY
A.L. Gilbert is applying for emission reduction credits (ERC's) for a reduction in emissions which occurred as a result of the installation of PM 10 control equipment to control emissions from a rail car receiving pit and from the equipment that transfers grain from the pit to storage. The installation of the equipment to control emissions from transferring grain to storage was authorized by Authority to Construct (A/C) N- 1758-15-1. The installation of the equipment to control emissions from receiving grain to storage was authorized by NC N-1758-15-2.
A portion of the actual emission reductions (AER's) will be used to offset the entire stationary source NSR balance for PMlO as determined in the review of applications N-1758-26-0, 27-0, 28-0, & 15-4. Pending a determination of compliance with District Rule 2301: Emission Reduction Cmli.t Banking and public notification, an ERC certificate will be issued to A.L. Gilbert Company for all reductions in excess of those required to offset the NSR balance for PMlO. The certificate will reflect the following amount of emission reductions:

II. APPLICABI,E RULES
m. LOCATION OF REDUCTIONS
4431 Jessup Road, Keyes
IV. METHOD OE GENERATING REDUCTIONS
The reduction in PMlO emissions was achieved by adding equipment to control emissions from a previously uncontrolled operation. The first operation, a rail car receiving pit was enclosed and the enclosure was ducted to a baghouse. The second operation, which includes conveying equipment to transfer grain from the receiving pit to storage, is now operated under a vacuum and the air being evacuated is ducted to two baghouses. One of the two baghouses involved is the same unit that serves the rail receiving pit enclosure.
V. CALCULATWNS
A. Assumptions and Emission Factors
1. Transfer to Storage (N-1758-15-1)
Both the uncontrolled and controlled emission factors for this operation will be taken from the review of application N• 1758· 15-1. They are as follows:
Uncontrolled: 0.44 lbs/ton Controlled: 4.4e--03 lbs/ton
The uncontrolled PMlO emission factor is based on the emission factor from AP-42, Table 6.~1 for a headhouse. The AP-42 emission factor is for total particulate matter. It is assumed that PMIO emissions are 29% of the total particulate emissions 4•
The controlled emission factor is based on the uncontrolled emission factor and a control efficiency of 99% .
PMlO Mauual, Table V-2
Page2of8 Ui-Peb-!16 12: 05
2. Receiving Pit (N-l 75S.15-2)
Both the uncontrolled and controlled emission factors for this operation will be taken from the review of application N-1758-15-2. They are as follows:
Uncontrolled: 0.17 lbs/ton Controlled: 1.7e-03 lbs/ton
The uncontrolled PMlO emission factor is based on the emission factor from AP-42, Table 6.4-1 for grain receiving. The AP-42 emission factor is for total particulate matter. It is assumed that PMlO emissions are 29% of the total particulate emissions5•
The controlled emission factor is based on the uncontrolled emission factor and a control efficiency of 99%.
B. Baseline Period Determination
As per policy NSR/ERC 10-2, for reductions authorized by a previous Authority to Construct, the baseline emissions shall be selected from a period as prescribed in Rule 2201 immediately preceding the date on which the A/C authorizing the reduction was deemed complete.
A/C N-1758-15-1 was deemed complete on 28 September 1992. The baseline period for this emission unit will be the eight quarter period ending with the last complete quarter prior to the completed application for the A/C authorizing the reduction. Specifically, the baseline period will be from 1 July 1990 thru 30 June 1992.

G. Bankable Emission Reduction Credits
A portion of the available emission reductions will be used to offset the source's NSR balance for PMlO to zero. The amount of offsets required was determined in the review of applications N-17S8-26-0, 27-0, 28-0, & 15-4. Thus, the amount of reductions used to offset the NSR balance for PMlO will be subtracted from the total actual emission reductions that are available for use as offsets. The remainder will be banked.

BANKING
VI. COMPLIANCE
In order to insure compliance with Rule 2301, all emission reductions must meet the following criteria to be bankable.
A. Real
The proposed emission reductions occurred as a result of the addition of control equipment to control PMlO emissions from a rail receiving pit and the equipment used to transfer grain from the receiving pit to storage. The emissions were calculated based on logs of the amount of material received at the receiving pit for each quarter of the baseline period. The District is, therefore, satisfied that the emissions in the amounts calculated did indeed occur. Therefore, the reductions are real.
B. Enforceable
The Permits to Operate and all subsequent Permits to Operate for the equipment from which the reduction in emissions was generated will contain enforceable conditions which limit the controlled PMlO emission concentrations to the values used to quantify the reduction in emissions. As required by District policy NSR/ERC 22-1, the PMlO emission limits are performance based limitations in pounds of PMlO per ton of product received.
Page 6of8 16·1'eb·96 11 :4!1
.........
The performance based limitations will ensure that the rmnnnum control efficiencies for the modified equipment will be maintained at all throughputs without affecting the potential capacity of the receiving and storage equipment. The conditions specifying the performance based limitations will include language stating that the conditions are to enforce the emission reductions from this project. This addition will ensure the enforceability of the emission reduction credits for all future actions pertaining to the Permit to Operate. The performance based conditions to enforce the PMlO emission reductions from this project are as follows:
The PMlO emissions from receiving shall not exceed 1.7e-03 pounds per ton of material received. This performance based limit is to enforce the PMlO emission reductions granted by certificate N-104-4.
The PMlO emissions from transferring material to storage shall not exceed 4.4e-03 pounds per ton of material received. This performance based limit is to enforce the PM 10 emission reductions granted by certificate N-104-4.
To exceed these performance based limitations would be a violation of District rules. Therefore, the reductions are enforceable.
C. Quantifiable
The emissions were calculated based on the quarterly amount of material received, emission factors approved by the EPA, and minimum control efficiencies that are required by permit conditions. Therefore, the reductions are quantifiable.
D. Permanent
As was previously stated, the reduction in emissions was achieved by installing equipment to control PMlO emissions from two processes at this source. This control equipment will be required to remain installed and operational at all times. The equipment may not be removed or altered without first obtaining authorization from the District. Therefore, the reductions are pem13.llent.
E. Surplus
The installation of the new control equipment was not the result of any current or proposed rule. Therefore, the reductions are surplus.
Page 7 of8 16-Feb-96 11: 49
........
F. Timeliness
The application for ERC's was submitted after the issuance of the A/C's which authorized the reduction in emissions and prior to implementation of those A/C's. Therefore, the application for ERC's was submitted within the required 180 days from the date of reduction.
VII. RECOMMENDATION
Issue an Emission Reduction Credit Certificate to the A.L. Gilbert Company for a reduction in PMIO emissions which occurred as a result of the installation of equipment to control PMlO emissions from a rail receiving pit and from grain transferring equipment at 4431 Jessup Road in Keyes. The certificate will reflect the following amount of reductions:

Attn. Mr. Anthony Mendes
Reference: A) My letter dated 2/28/95 with 4 ATC applications and an ERC application. Application# N-104-4
B) Your letter dated 3/21 /95 requesting additional information
Dear '-1r. Mendes.
Enclosed is the additional infom1ation requested by reference (B). The information submitted summarizes the total grain and pellets received by quarter from 1990 through 1992. Our records indicate the ATC # N-1758-15-2 was deemed complete 6/ 15/92 therefore lhe logical period for determining the credit would be the two year period ending 6/30/92.
As discussed duri 11 g our phone conversation yesterday. we have records of actual products received in both monthly totals and by individual shipments by rail car number and truck by each individual product but are somewhat reluctant to provide that detail of data for public record. I would be happy to show you that information upon your request.
It is requested that the actual production numbers within the enclosure be held confidential as much as possible. Hopefully the above will provide the necessary information for the evaluation of the requested EMISSION REDUCTION CREDIT. Should you have any questions or require any additional information. don ·1 hesitate to call.
Thank you for your assistance.

I. SUMMARY
A.L. Gilbert is applying for emission reduction credits (ERC's) for a reduction in emissions which occurred as a result of the installation of PM 10 control equipment to control emissions from a rail car receiving pit and from the equipment that transfers grain from the pit to storage. The installation of the equipment to control emissions from transferring grain to storage was authorized by Authority to Construct (A/C) N- 1758-15-1. The installation of the equipment to control emissions from receiving grain to storage was authorized by NC N-1758-15-2.
A portion of the actual emission reductions (AER's) will be used to offset the entire stationary source NSR balance for PMlO as determined in the review of applications N-1758-26-0, 27-0, 28-0, & 15-4. Pending a determination of compliance with District Rule 2301: Emission Reduction Cmli.t Banking and public notification, an ERC certificate will be issued to A.L. Gilbert Company for all reductions in excess of those required to offset the NSR balance for PMlO. The certificate will reflect the following amount of emission reductions:

m. LOCATION OF REDUCTIONS
4431 Jessup Road, Keyes
IV. METHOD OE GENERATING REDUCTIONS
The reduction in PMlO emissions was achieved by adding equipment to control emissions from a previously uncontrolled operation. The first operation, a rail car receiving pit was enclosed and the enclosure was ducted to a baghouse. The second operation, which includes conveying equipment to transfer grain from the receiving pit to storage, is now operated under a vacuum and the air being evacuated is ducted to two baghouses. One of the two baghouses involved is the same unit that serves the rail receiving pit enclosure.
V. CALCULATWNS
A. Assumptions and Emission Factors
1. Transfer to Storage (N-1758-15-1)
Both the uncontrolled and controlled emission factors for this operation will be taken from the review of application N• 1758· 15-1. They are as follows:
Uncontrolled: 0.44 lbs/ton Controlled: 4.4e--03 lbs/ton
The uncontrolled PMlO emission factor is based on the emission factor from AP-42, Table 6.~1 for a headhouse. The AP-42 emission factor is for total particulate matter. It is assumed that PMIO emissions are 29% of the total particulate emissions 4•
The controlled emission factor is based on the uncontrolled emission factor and a control efficiency of 99% .
PMlO Mauual, Table V-2
Page2of8 Ui-Peb-!16 12: 05
2. Receiving Pit (N-l 75S.15-2)
Both the uncontrolled and controlled emission factors for this operation will be taken from the review of application N-1758-15-2. They are as follows:
Uncontrolled: 0.17 lbs/ton Controlled: 1.7e-03 lbs/ton
The uncontrolled PMlO emission factor is based on the emission factor from AP-42, Table 6.4-1 for grain receiving. The AP-42 emission factor is for total particulate matter. It is assumed that PMlO emissions are 29% of the total particulate emissions5•
The controlled emission factor is based on the uncontrolled emission factor and a control efficiency of 99%.
B. Baseline Period Determination
As per policy NSR/ERC 10-2, for reductions authorized by a previous Authority to Construct, the baseline emissions shall be selected from a period as prescribed in Rule 2201 immediately preceding the date on which the A/C authorizing the reduction was deemed complete.
A/C N-1758-15-1 was deemed complete on 28 September 1992. The baseline period for this emission unit will be the eight quarter period ending with the last complete quarter prior to the completed application for the A/C authorizing the reduction. Specifically, the baseline period will be from 1 July 1990 thru 30 June 1992.

G. Bankable Emission Reduction Credits
A portion of the available emission reductions will be used to offset the source's NSR balance for PMlO to zero. The amount of offsets required was determined in the review of applications N-17S8-26-0, 27-0, 28-0, & 15-4. Thus, the amount of reductions used to offset the NSR balance for PMlO will be subtracted from the total actual emission reductions that are available for use as offsets. The remainder will be banked.

BANKING
VI. COMPLIANCE
In order to insure compliance with Rule 2301, all emission reductions must meet the following criteria to be bankable.
A. Real
The proposed emission reductions occurred as a result of the addition of control equipment to control PMlO emissions from a rail receiving pit and the equipment used to transfer grain from the receiving pit to storage. The emissions were calculated based on logs of the amount of material received at the receiving pit for each quarter of the baseline period. The District is, therefore, satisfied that the emissions in the amounts calculated did indeed occur. Therefore, the reductions are real.
B. Enforceable
The Permits to Operate and all subsequent Permits to Operate for the equipment from which the reduction in emissions was generated will contain enforceable conditions which limit the controlled PMlO emission concentrations to the values used to quantify the reduction in emissions. As required by District policy NSR/ERC 22-1, the PMlO emission limits are performance based limitations in pounds of PMlO per ton of product received.
Page 6of8 16·1'eb·96 11 :4!1
.........
The performance based limitations will ensure that the rmnnnum control efficiencies for the modified equipment will be maintained at all throughputs without affecting the potential capacity of the receiving and storage equipment. The conditions specifying the performance based limitations will include language stating that the conditions are to enforce the emission reductions from this project. This addition will ensure the enforceability of the emission reduction credits for all future actions pertaining to the Permit to Operate. The performance based conditions to enforce the PMlO emission reductions from this project are as follows:
The PMlO emissions from receiving shall not exceed 1.7e-03 pounds per ton of material received. This performance based limit is to enforce the PMlO emission reductions granted by certificate N-104-4.
The PMlO emissions from transferring material to storage shall not exceed 4.4e-03 pounds per ton of material received. This performance based limit is to enforce the PM 10 emission reductions granted by certificate N-104-4.
To exceed these performance based limitations would be a violation of District rules. Therefore, the reductions are enforceable.
C. Quantifiable
The emissions were calculated based on the quarterly amount of material received, emission factors approved by the EPA, and minimum control efficiencies that are required by permit conditions. Therefore, the reductions are quantifiable.
D. Permanent
As was previously stated, the reduction in emissions was achieved by installing equipment to control PMlO emissions from two processes at this source. This control equipment will be required to remain installed and operational at all times. The equipment may not be removed or altered without first obtaining authorization from the District. Therefore, the reductions are pem13.llent.
E. Surplus
The installation of the new control equipment was not the result of any current or proposed rule. Therefore, the reductions are surplus.
Page 7 of8 16-Feb-96 11: 49
........
F. Timeliness
The application for ERC's was submitted after the issuance of the A/C's which authorized the reduction in emissions and prior to implementation of those A/C's. Therefore, the application for ERC's was submitted within the required 180 days from the date of reduction.
VII. RECOMMENDATION
Issue an Emission Reduction Credit Certificate to the A.L. Gilbert Company for a reduction in PMIO emissions which occurred as a result of the installation of equipment to control PMlO emissions from a rail receiving pit and from grain transferring equipment at 4431 Jessup Road in Keyes. The certificate will reflect the following amount of reductions:

Attn. Mr. Anthony Mendes
Reference: A) My letter dated 2/28/95 with 4 ATC applications and an ERC application. Application# N-104-4
B) Your letter dated 3/21 /95 requesting additional information
Dear '-1r. Mendes.
Enclosed is the additional infom1ation requested by reference (B). The information submitted summarizes the total grain and pellets received by quarter from 1990 through 1992. Our records indicate the ATC # N-1758-15-2 was deemed complete 6/ 15/92 therefore lhe logical period for determining the credit would be the two year period ending 6/30/92.
As discussed duri 11 g our phone conversation yesterday. we have records of actual products received in both monthly totals and by individual shipments by rail car number and truck by each individual product but are somewhat reluctant to provide that detail of data for public record. I would be happy to show you that information upon your request.
It is requested that the actual production numbers within the enclosure be held confidential as much as possible. Hopefully the above will provide the necessary information for the evaluation of the requested EMISSION REDUCTION CREDIT. Should you have any questions or require any additional information. don ·1 hesitate to call.
Thank you for your assistance.
