FACILITY DESCRIPTION

Farmers Grain Terminal, Inc., Greenwood Facility (FGT) operates an existing grain elevator located in Greenwood, Mississippi. The facility operates under the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code 5153, Grain and Field Beans and North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 424510, Grain and Field Bean Merchant Wholesalers. 

Grains such as corn, soybeans, wheat, milo, and occasionally rice, are received by truck and unloaded into one of two (2) hopper truck dump pits thence transferred to storage bins. FGT's permanent grain storage capacity is approximately 3,400,000 bushels. The facility has access to rail but does not currently operate any rail receiving or loadout operations. Hence, grain receipt and loadout by the facility is accomplished by hopper trucks only. Upon delivery of grain to the truck receiving pits, grain is transferred to bins via available elevator legs. Once grain is delivered to the bins, it may be stored until delivery to the truck loadouts. From the storage bins, the grain is directed onto one (1) of three (3) available truck loadout legs/spouts. 

FGT operates six (6) baghouses for purposes of air pollution control. Baghouse No. 1 controls the two (2) truck receiving pits. Baghouse No. 2 controls emissions from the three (3) grain handling receiving elevator legs/conveyors. Baghouse No. 3 controls emissions from the Facility Ref. No. 57 grain bins gallery belt. Baghouse No. 4 controls emissions from the Facility Ref. No. 67 and 77 grain bins gallery belt. Baghouse No. 5 controls emissions from the conveyor from bin storage to loadout legs and reclaims from the bottoms. Baghouse No. 6 also controls emissions from the conveyor from bin storage to loadout legs and reclaims from the bottoms. Conveyors located at the top of the grain bins are not controlled because they are completely enclosed.

PROJECT/PERMIT ACTION DESCRIPTION

FGT is applying for the reissuance of a Synthetic Minor Operating Permit (SMOP) which expired September 30, 2022. The facility has rendered inoperable Emission Point AA-003/AA-008 (Berico Model CEG1240 22 MMBtu/hr column dryer); therefore, the column dryer and all associated permit requirements that were in the previous permit are not in the proposed permit. 

EMISSION SUMMARY

The following table contains a summary of the facility’s uncontrolled and allowable emissions.

Pollutant	Uncontrolled Emissions
(TPY)	Allowable Emissions 
(TPY)	
PM	1,013.44	46.91	
PM10	478.51	20.81	
PM2.5	82.11	1.25	
SO2	0.00	0.00	
NOx	0.00	0.00	
CO	0.00	0.00	
VOC	0.00	0.00	
TRS	0.00	0.00	
Lead	0.00	0.00	
Total HAP	0.00	0.00	

As shown in the table above, FGT has the potential to exceed the Title V major source threshold of 100 tpy for PM10, as well as the PSD major source threshold of 250 tpy for PM. In order to remain classified as a synthetic minor source, the facility has requested to continue to limit their total annual grain throughput to less than 400,000 tpy. The facility will also have a Title V avoidance limit of 99.0 tpy for PM10 emissions, as well as a PSD avoidance limit of 250 tpy for PM.

NSPS APPLICABILITY

40 CFR 60, Subpart DD, Standards of Performance for Grain Elevators – The provisions of Subpart DD are applicable to grain terminal or storage elevators which commence construction, modification, or reconstruction after August 3, 1978. A grain terminal elevator is defined in Subpart DD as any grain elevator which has a permanent storage capacity of more than 2.5 million bushels. FGT operates a grain elevator that was constructed after the applicability date and that has greater than 2.5 million bushels of permanent grain storage capacity; therefore, FGT is subject to the Subpart DD requirements. The applicable requirements of Subpart DD are contained in the proposed permit.

MACT APPLICABILITY

The facility is considered an area source of HAP emissions and there is not any process equipment that would be subject to one of the area source National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) standards.
