40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2014-0206; FRL-9917-59-Region 5]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Wisconsin;
Nitrogen Oxide Combustion Turbine Alternative Control Requirements for
the Milwaukee-Racine Former Nonattainment Area

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule; supplemental.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On February 24, 2014, the Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources (WDNR) submitted revisions to the limits found in its
nitrogen oxides (NOX) combustion turbine rule for the
Milwaukee-Racine area formerly nonattainment for the 1997 ozone
standard. This revision is contained in ``2013 Wisconsin Act 91--Senate
Bill 371,'' which provides for alternative NOX requirements,
subject to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approval on a case-by-
case basis, to determine whether these alternative limits satisfy the
reasonably available control technology (RACT) requirements of the
Clean Air Act (CAA). EPA proposed to approve this rule as a revision to
the State Implementation Plan on April 30, 2014 and received adverse
comments. EPA is issuing this supplemental proposal to revise and
expand the basis for proposing approval of the SIP revision. This
supplemental proposal addresses the issue of whether the SIP revision
satisfies certain anti-backsliding requirements of the CAA. EPA is
seeking comment only on the potential anti-backsliding issue, and is
not re-opening for comment other issues raised in its prior proposal.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 23, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA. This SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
section is arranged as follows:

I. What is the background for this supplemental proposal?
II. On which specific issue is EPA taking comment?
III. What action is EPA taking?
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. What is the background for this supplemental proposal?

    A detailed background is contained in the April 30, 2014 direct
final rule (79 FR 24337), which can also be found in the docket for
this action.
    Under Wisconsin's current SIP approved NR 428 NOX
control program, existing simple cycle combustion turbines larger than
84 megawatts (MW) that undergo a major modification after February 2001
must meet the emission limitations set forth in s. NR 428.04(2)(g)1.a.
and 2.a. This provision sets NOX emission limits of 12 or 25
parts per million dry volume (ppmdv) at 15% oxygen (O2), on
a 30-day rolling basis, when firing natural gas or distillate oil,
respectively.
    The WDNR originally set the NOX emission limitations for
combustion turbines, in NR 428.04(2)(g)1.a. and 2.a., based on the
mistaken assumption that dry low NOX (DLN) combustion
technology was both feasible and available for new and modified
combustion turbines and that such technology was capable of meeting the
established emission limitations. As previously stated, the emission
limitations in NR 428.04(2)(g)1.a. and 2.a. apply to simple cycle
combustion turbines that are larger than 84 MW (of which there are only
four in the Milwaukee-Racine maintenance area) and undergo a major
modification. These four combustion turbines are the model 11N turbines
that were manufactured by ASEA Brown-Boveri (ABB) and operated by We
Energies at its Paris generating facility. These four combustion
turbines were designed and manufactured to use water injection instead
of DLN technology to control NOX emissions. Use of water
injection limits NOX emissions to the alternate levels
provided by Wisconsin Act 91 (25 and 65 ppmdv), but cannot achieve the
emission limits required by NR 428.04(2)(g), Wis. Admin. Code (12 and
25 ppmdv). These combustion turbines are all located in an area that is
designated attainment for both the 1997 and 2008 ozone standards,
although there is currently a monitor in the area with a design value
that exceeds the 2008 ozone standard.
    For reasons described in the April 30, 2014 direct final rule (79
FR 24337), WDNR has determined that the previously-approved SIP
NOX emission limits for simple cycle combustion turbines
that undergo a major modification in the Milwaukee-Racine area are not
feasible for the four existing combustion turbines to which these
limits could apply. EPA agrees with this determination. The Wisconsin
legislature adopted s. 285.27 (3m), which became effective on December
15, 2013, to establish feasible RACT limits in the event of a major
modification. EPA believes that these limits reflect RACT and issued
both a direct final rule and a proposed rule to approve the rule into
the SIP.
    In response to EPA's rulemakings, the Sierra Club and Midwest
Environmental Defense Center provided comments objecting to the
proposed revision on the grounds that two units had undergone
modifications in 2002, making them subject to the lower limits of s. NR
428.04(2)(g)1.a. and 2.a. The comments stated that the SIP revision was
thus relaxing the limits for these units and that ``EPA has done no
analysis of whether this increase would result in problems maintaining
compliance with ozone standards or 1-hour NO2 standards.''
    In response to this comment, EPA withdrew the direct final rule and
is providing this supplemental notice to explain its basis for
concluding that the SIP revision satisfies the anti-backsliding
requirements of section 110(l) of the CAA.

II. On which specific issue is EPA taking comment?

    EPA notes the point raised by the commenters that, although the
rule is not expected to result in any units operating at higher
emissions rates than in the past, the rule would increase the emissions
limits applicable to these sources under the SIP.\1\ Section 110(l) of
the CAA provides in part that, ``The Administrator shall not approve a
revision of a [SIP] if the revision would interfere with any applicable
requirement concerning attainment and reasonable further progress (as
defined in section 7501 of this title), or any other applicable
requirement of [the Act].''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ As noted above, EPA believes that the emissions rates in the
SIP are technically infeasible for these sources to meet.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In order to avoid any potential for interference with attainment or
maintenance of the NAAQS for ozone and nitrogen dioxide, Wisconsin has
identified contemporaneous, offsetting emission reductions of
NOX from a different emission source to compensate for the
change in the SIP limits for NOX proposed in the rule at
issue.\2\ We explain below how Wisconsin calculated the appropriate
amounts of offsets, and the source of the offsets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ As the offset is for NOX emissions, the analysis
is equally applicable to the NAAQS for ozone and nitrogen dioxide.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The theoretical emissions increase being addressed for anti-
backsliding is the difference between the emissions that would occur
annually if the Paris combustion turbines meet the 12 ppmdv requirement
compared to emissions allowable under the proposed SIP revision.\3\ In
order to quantify this differential in terms of tons per year,
Wisconsin identified that the maximum fuel use for each individual CT
occurred

in 2005,\4\ and converted the emissions standards from ppmdv @15%
O2 to a lbs/mmbtu equivalent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Although the SIP revision would continue to allow use of
fuel oil, we have analyzed the change in emissions with respect to
natural gas because at least since 2009 (and probably longer) these
sources have only fired natural gas for electricity generation, and,
in light of current pricing and industry practice, we do not expect
this to change.
    \4\ Wisconsin selected 2005 based on a review of historic
emissions from 2001 through 2013 as reported in EPA's Clean Air
Markets Division (CAMD) emissions database. This timeframe reflects
that the 12 ppmdv requirement was first created in January 2001.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To determine the amount of emissions that needs to be offset, the
difference between the 2005 maximum allowable emission rate of 25 ppmdv
@15% O2 (converted to 0.092 lbs/mmbtu) minus 12 ppmdv @15%
O2 (converted to 0.0442 lbs/mmbtu) was multiplied by the
heat input for each combustion turbine in 2005. This calculation
results in a total of 54.6 tons per year for which equivalent
reductions must be obtained. This is a conservative estimate of the
amount of offsetting credits needed because it is based upon the year
within a 13-year period with the highest fuel use.
    Wisconsin has identified enforceable emission reductions to be used
in offsetting the 54.6 tons per year of excess emissions in order to
offset any backsliding. These emission reductions are generated by
enforceable emission limitations currently in place for the South Oak
Creek (SOC) Unit 5 electric generating facility, which operates in the
Milwaukee-Racine former ozone nonattainment area. Under the Wisconsin
Ozone SIP, SOC Unit 5 is required to meet a NOX emission
limitation of 0.18 lbs/mmbtu. However, the same unit has also been
required to meet an emission limitation of 0.10 lbs/mmbtu since 2013
under a Jnauary 18, 2012 consent decree (Civil Action No. 03-C-0371)
entered between EPA and We Energies, the operator of the SOC
facility.\5\ Paragraph No. 107 of the consent decree allows the use of
emission reductions generated by the decree ``for the purpose of
attainment demonstrations . . . or in determining impacts on NAAQS.''
Wisconsin determined the emissions in excess to the SIP by multiplying
the difference in the SIP and consent decree emission limits (0.18--
0.10 lbs/mmbtu) by the unit's heat input in 2013. The unit's heat input
for 2013 was obtained from the CAMD database. This calculation yields a
total of 334.3 tons per year of excess emission reductions, which have
not been allocated as offsets for any other purpose. Notably, the heat
input for SOC Unit 5 was the lowest in 2013 since 2001. Using this
value thus represents the most conservative value since 2001 for heat
input in calculating excess emissions reductions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Thus, these compensating reductions are contemporaneous with
the emissions limits in Wisconsin statute 285.27 (3m), which was
enacted by the Wisconsin legislature in December 2013.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Wisconsin submitted to EPA 54.6 tons per year of excess emission
credits generated by the SOC Unit 5 generating facility to be used to
address potential backsliding under this SIP revision. Wisconsin also
notes that a total of 61,970 tons of NOX was emitted in the
Milwaukee-Racine ozone area from all sources in 2011. The emission
reductions of 54.6 tons per year being addressed here for anti-
backsliding represents less than 0.07% of that total.

III. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is seeking comment only on the section 110(l) issue described
above and is not reopening comment on any other issues.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this proposed action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    This rule is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land
or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that
a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule
does not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175
(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act

(APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision authorizes an agency to issue a
rule without prior notice and opportunity to comment when the agency
for good cause finds that those procedures are ``impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for not
publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with respect to this
rule because this exercise is necessary to train and qualify Navy
personnel in the use of weapons. This training is necessary to ensure
that Navy personnel located within the Fifth Coast Guard District are
properly trained and qualified before conducting military and national
security operations for use in securing ports and waterways. Navy
policy requires that Navy personnel meet and maintain certain
qualification standards before being allowed to carry weapons on board
vessels. Failure to conduct this required training at this time will
result in a lapse in personnel qualification standards and,
consequently, the inability of Navy personnel to carry out important
national security functions at any time. It is impracticable,
unnecessary, and contrary to public interest to delay the issuance of
this rule.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date would
be contrary to the public interest since immediate action is needed to
ensure the safety of vessels transiting the area.

Background and Purpose

    Coast Guard Sector Hampton Roads was notified that the U.S. Navy
will conduct a live fire and explosive training event onboard the M/V
Del Monte in the vicinity of the James River Reserve Fleet. The event
is scheduled to take place from January 30, 2012 until February 3,
2012. Due to the need to protect mariners transiting on the James River
in the vicinity of the exercise from the hazards associated with live
fire and explosive events, the Coast Guard is establishing a safety
zone bound by a 1500-foot radius around approximate position
37[deg]06'11'' N/076[deg]38'40'' W (NAD 1983). Access to this area will
be temporarily restricted for public safety purposes.

Discussion of Rule

    The Coast Guard is establishing a 1500-foot radius safety zone on
specified waters of James River around approximate position
37[deg]06'11'' N/076[deg]38'40'' W (NAD 1983) in the vicinity of the
James River Reserve Fleet. This safety zone is being established in the
interest of public safety during the live fire and explosive training
exercise and will be enforced from 11 a.m. on January 30, 2012 until 9
a.m. on February 3, 2012. Access to the safety zone will be restricted
during the specified dates and times. Except for vessels authorized by
the Captain of the Port or his Representative, no person or vessel may
enter or remain in the safety zone.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that Executive Order 12866
or under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management
and Budget has not reviewed it under that those Orders. Although this
regulation restricts access to the safety zone, the effect of this rule
will not be significant because: (i) The safety zone will be in effect
for a limited duration; (ii) the safety zone is of limited size; (iii)
mariners may transit the waters in and around this safety zone at the
discretion of the Captain of the Port or designated representative; and
(iv), the Coast Guard will make notifications via maritime advisories
so mariners can adjust their plans accordingly.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields,
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
    The rule would affect the following entities, some of which might
be small entities: the owners or operators of vessels intending to
transit or anchor in a portion of the James River from 11 a.m. January
30, 2012 until 9 a.m. on February 3, 2012.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: (i) The
safety zone will only be in place for a limited duration and is of a
limited size; and (ii) Before the enforcement period, maritime
advisories will be issued allowing mariners to adjust their plans
accordingly.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offer to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they can better evaluate its
effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not affect a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
this action is one of a category of actions which do not individually
or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment.
This rule is categorically excluded, Under figure 2-1, paragraph
(34)(g), of the Instruction. This rule involves a temporary safety zone
that will be in effect for only five days and is intended to keep
mariners safe from the hazards associated with live fire and explosive
exercises. An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical
exclusion determination will be available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES.

Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking –

Identification of Nonhazardous Materials That Are Solid Waste

Silica Fume - Used as ingredient in clinker manufacture

December 16, 2008

==================================================================

1.	Definition of Silica Fume

Silica fume is a fine, dust-like material generated during silicon metal and ferrosilicon and related ferroalloys (e.g., stainless steel) production.  Specifically, it is produced by the reduction of high purity quartz with coal or coke and wood chips in an electric arc furnace during silicon metal or ferrosilicon alloys production. The glassy, spherical particles are extremely small, measuring less than one micrometer (μm) in diameter, with an average diameter of about 0.1 μm. Silica fume particles are composed primarily of silicon dioxide (usually more than 85 percent).

2.	Annual Quantities Generated and Used

Sectors that generate silica fume:

Silica fume is generated by NAICS sector 331112, Electrometallurgical Ferroalloy Product Manufacturing. This includes facilities that manufacture stainless steel and cast iron.

Quantities and prices of silica fume generated:

The Silica Fume Association estimates that silica fume production in the United States in 2004 was between 110,000 and 132,000 short tons.

In 2006, one major silica fume supplier reported the bulk price of silica fume, freight on board (FOB) (i.e., not including shipping costs), at $205/ton.  It is unclear if this is representative of the price of silica fume from other suppliers.

Trends in generation of silica fume:

Growing U.S. customer needs for alloy and stainless steel is expected to continue to have a strong positive influence on ferroalloy demand (USGS 2006). As a result, production of ferroalloys and of silica fume as a byproduct are likely to remain constant or increase in the next several years.

3.	Uses of Material/Commodity

Ingredient uses of silica fume:

Silica fume can be used in clinker manufacture as a partial replacement for silica-containing raw materials (e.g., clay, shale, sand, and limestone).  Because of the high price of this material, however, and the relative abundance of other secondary materials and virgin materials, use of silica fume as a raw material for clinker is less common, though it still occurs (Guerra 2008). In 2004, 20,000 tons of silica fume were used in cement kilns (EPA 2008).

Cement kilns are represented by NAICS industry sector 327310, Cement Manufacturing, which included 247 facilities in 2002 (U.S. Census Bureau 2002).

Non-combustion uses of silica fume:

Silica fume can be also be used at cement plants as a supplementary cementitious material (i.e., after the production of clinker in the kiln) either by premixing silica fume with finished portland cement to produce a blended cement (during the cement production process) or by adding the silica fume to portland cement concrete as a mineral admixture. In addition, silica fume is frequently used in consumer products such as toothpaste (Guerra 2008). Use of silica fume in non-combustion uses in 2004 totaled approximately 70,000 tons (EPA 2008).

Quantities of silica fume landfilled:

The Silica Fume Association estimates that about 28,000 short tons of silica fume were landfilled in 2004 (EPA 2008). Given the commodity value of silica fume, it is not clear why any is landfilled; possible reasons include contamination of the silica fume or lack of market access due to location of the furnaces.

Quantities of silica fume stockpiled/stored:

Data regarding stockpiling or storage of silica fume are not readily available, but demand for the material and the relatively modest quantities produced suggest that little, if any, silica fume is collected for long-term storage.

Exhibit 1:  Overview of Generation and Use of Silica Fume in 2004

Commodity	Annual Quantity Generated 	Annual Quantity Used as Ingredient Annual Quantity Landfilled	Annual Quantity in Other Uses	Total Quantity Stockpiled

Cement Kilns	Other

---------------------------------- Short Tons -----------------------------

Silica fume	0.11-0.13 million	0.02 million	0	0.03 million	0.07 million Undetermined; not likely to be significant

Unless otherwise noted, data is from U.S. EPA, April 28, 2008,  Study on Increasing the Usage of Recovered Mineral Components in Federally Funded Projects Involving Procurement of Cement or Concrete to Address the

Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users.

4.	Management and Combustion processes

Types of combustion units using silica fume:

Silica fume is used in cement kilns during the clinker manufacture process.

Sourcing of silica fume:

Silica fume is marketed by a variety of admixture suppliers in the U.S. who obtain the material from the generators and prepare it for resale.  There are five domestic silica fume producers listed in the Silica Fume Association, all of whom are located in the Southeastern United States. The product is typically sold packaged in 25 pound bags and in bulk (Robl and Groppo 2007).

Processing of silica fume:

Prior to use as a supplementary cementitious material, silica fume may be densified by tumbling the material in a silo, which causes surface charges to build up. The charges draw the particles together to form weak agglomerates. Because of the increased bulk density, the material is more economical for truck transport (Silica Fume Association 2005).

State status of silica fume use as ingredient:

At this stage, we have not identified any states that have specifically granted beneficial use designation to the use of silica fume in clinker manufacture, or that prohibit use of silica fume in clinker, but we have not performed an exhaustive investigation of state activities and regulations.

5.	Commodity Composition and Impacts

Composition of silica fume:

Silica fume consists of 85 percent amorphous (non-crystalline) silicon dioxide (SiO2).  There may be additional materials in silica fume depending on the metal being produced in the smelter from which the silica fume was collected (Silica Fume Association 2005).

Impacts of silica fume use as ingredient:

If used in clinker manufacture, silica fume partially offsets natural sources of silica, such as clay, shale, sand, and limestone. Thus, using silica fume in the cement kiln would avoid the energy use and environmental releases associated with the extraction and processing of these virgin materials.

The specific lifecycle impacts of silica fume use as a raw material in clinker production are not evaluated here because it appears silica fume has limited use in this application, and because of uncertainties in lifecycle scenario development. For example, it is difficult to determine the replacement ratio between silica fume and other raw feed materials in clinker production. Thus, the correct quantity of material to be modeled is unclear. In addition, silica fume may substitute for a variety of virgin raw materials, as well as other secondary materials (e.g., blast furnace slag, CCPs, foundry sand, cement kiln dust, etc.); the choice of material often depends on location-specific factors such as the proximity of material sources to the cement kiln and relative availability of different materials. Avoided upstream impacts depend heavily on the specific material being displaced in the lifecycle scenario.
