Jenny Lind is an existing rockquarry and crushing plant that has been in service since 1970. The permit is being updated toreflect lower permitted emissions due to the drop in new emission factors for rock quarrys inthe AP-42. The facility will also increase its production rate from 1 million tons per year to1.75 million tpy of crushed stone. The permit is being modified to show that Arkhola Sandand Gravel will no longer be permitted for hours of operation. A majority of the productsinclude the following: roadway base material, rip rap, concrete aggregates, and asphaltaggregates. The facility will be permitted for particulate matter and PMIO.Process DescriptionThe process begins with the extraction of sandstone from the surrounding area by drilling andblasting, followed by loading and hauling the shot rock to the primary crusher. Reduction ofthe extracted rock to finished marketable sizes is accomplished by crushing and screening.Crushing is accomplished by five crushers. The primary crusher is a 4248 Pioneer JawCrusher producing a minus 8" product. The secondary crusher is a 5.5' Standard NordbergCone Crusher, producing a minus 5" material. The #1 and #2 tertiary crushers are 5.5'Shorthead Nordberg Crusher and a 54" EI Jay Rollercone Crusher, both producing a minus11/2" material.The Chip Plant crusher is a 4' Shorthead Cone Crusher producing a minus 1/2"product.·Reviewed By: John BaileyApplicable Regulation: Air CodeApproved By: Keith A.
