Section II: INTRODUCTION

Summary of Permit Activity

Riceland Foods, Inc. owns and operates a rice mill in Waldenburg, Arkansas. The purpose ofthis modification was to do the following:

1. Replace two existing grain dryers (SN-05 and SN-06) with a new Shanzer Model6R7grain dryer (SN-34),

2. Retire equipment in the milling operation including the Parboil Boiler (SN-16), HeilDryers #1 and #2 (SN-17), MFS York Dryer (SN-18), Steep Tanks (SN-19) and ParboilCooker (SN-20), and

3. Include the new Shanzer Dryer Hull Tank in the Insignificant Activities list.

Process Description

Riceland receives, stores, handles, processes and ships rice and its co-products. The differentforms of rice include rough rice, rice flour, rice bran and rice hulls.

Rough rice is delivered to the plant by either farm trucks or by trucks from other Ricelandfacilities. After receipt the rice is placed into storage bins. If the rice is received directly from afarmer it will be sent to the scalperators prior to storage. Depending on the moisture content ofthe rice received from a farmer, it may be dried prior to storage also.

Rough rice is held in storage until it is ready to be processed. When it is ready for processing itis conveyed from the storage area to the processing area, the mill. The rough rice is cleanedagain once it is in the mill. After cleaning the rice is dehulled and the bran is removed. The hullsand bran are separated and conveyed to the co-products storage bins. The milled rice goesthrough a grading system and is binned according to grades. The storage bins hold the milledrice until shipping. The milled rice will either be packaged or sent to the customer in bulk formby truck or railcar.

Milled rice which is broken is used for rice flour. The broken rice is graded, ground and siftedinto flour and then is transferred to storage bins. From the storage bins the flour is shipped bytruck or railcar to the customer.

The rice hulls can be ground prior to shipping or they can be shipped directly from the co-products storage bins to truck or railcar. The rice bran can be stabilized and shipped to RicelandFoods in Stuttgart for oil extraction or it can be shipped in bulk directly to customers.

All process emissions are controlled by baghouse filters with the exception of the grain dryer andloadout areas.

Section III: PERMIT HISTORY

Permit 422-AR-l was the initial permit issued to this facility on September 23, 1977 and revisedon August 8, 1988 to reflect a change in ownership.

Permit 422-AR-2 was issued on January 25, 1994.

Permit 422-AR-3 was issued on October 17, 1996. This was a modification to Permit 422-AR-2that included an increase in the facility's allowable production rate, the addition of previouslyunpermitted sources and the incorporation of new emission factors. .

Permit 422-AR-4 was issued on May 29,2001. This was a modification that authorized theinstallation of a new bagfilter bran receiver (SN-29) and combined sources 10, 11, and 12 into asingle source (SN-I0).

Permit 422-AR-5 was issued to include the installation of a nuisance dust and product recoverysystem on the co-products truck loading shed. The dust system consisted of a truck canopy and abagfilter. The canopy is lowered over the trucks/trailers while co-products (rice hulls and ricebran) are being loaded. The modifications were made to improve plant sanitation and recoversome of the products lost as non-point source emissions. There was no increase in productionwith this modification. Permitted emissions increased from this modification were 0.6 tpy ofPM\o and 1.9 tpy of PM.

Permit 422-AR-6 was issued on October 13,2005. Riceland Foods modified the Waldenburgfacility by constructing a truck receiving pit and dust system. To convey rice from the pit to theadjacent concrete storage unit, a new receiving drag and receiving leg was added. Also a newconveying system was installed to move rice from the concrete storage to the steel storage tankand a reclaim conveyor was installed to move rice from the tank back to the new receiving pit.

A new Aircon bagfilter and dust system (SN-32) provided aspiration air to the new truck dump(SN-31, Dump #2) and to the existing truck dump (SN-Ol, Dump #1). Dump #1 was aspiratedby the SN-04 Tunnel Belt baghouse. Ductwork from Dump #1 was removed from this systemand redirected to the new Aircon system. Also, the receiving rate of Dump #1 was reduced from225 ton/hr to 135 ton/hr.

As part of this project, a new 4" pneumatic blower system was installed to transfer the dustcollected by the new Aircon bagfilter to the existing SN-04, Tunnel Belt System baghouse.

The new receiving drag and receiving leg were connected to the SN-02, Scalper/Legs dustsystem and baghouse.

Permit 422-AR-7 was issued on May 16,2006. Riceland Foods modifyied the Waldenburgfacility by installing a new dust system for the tunnel belts and lower headhouse conveyors andrearranging the existing dust systems to increase their collection efficiency. The new dustsystem included an Aircon model CAR 276-10 baghouse and 30,000 cfm fan. The Tipper Belt

7


Nuisance Dust System (SN-03) was removed from service. The following changes occured atthe facility due to this modification:

1. SN-02 Scalperators was no longer in use. This system was renamed the UpperDust System and was dedicated to dust control for the tripper belt and generalnuisance dust on the bin deck floor. Material collected in this baghouse is beingsent to the SN-08 baghouse by gravity spout.

2. SN-03 was removed from service.

3. SN-04 sits directly over the trash tank. It was renamed Trash Tank Receiver andturned into a dust receiver and acts as the trash tank vent. Dust collected in theother baghouses were conveyed by a high pressure pneumatic system to thisbaghouse. The modification to this system included a primary separation cyclonefor removal of large debris prior to the baghouse.

4. SN-08 calculations now included the new bagfilter systems.

5. There were no changes to the new receiving pit dust system. However, whenoriginally permitted, the calculations included emissions from the associated newreceiving drag. The receiving drag was now included in the SN-33 calculations.

6. SN-33 was the new dust system including the fan and bagfilter rated at 30,000cfm. The new dust system aspirated the equipment in the lower portion of theheadhouse and in the tunnel, which included the receiving drags, elevator legs,and tunnel conveyors. This system was designated the Lower Dust System, anddust collected in this bagfilter were pneumatically conveyed to the SN-04 trashtank receiver.
