| dc.description.abstract | Feed mills associated with cattle feed yards are experiencing the effects of the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAAS) of 1990 through the implementation of Title V of the act. This law requires any feed mill that qualifies as a major pollutant source (i.e. by emitting more than 90.7 tonnes (100 tons) of a regulated pollutant annually) to obtain from its state air pollution regulatory agency (SAPRA) a federal operating permit (FOP). The results from this study will be used to develop scientifically based emission factors for cyclones separating steam flaked grain at feed mills associated with cattle feed yards, quantify the emissions from various sizes of simulated model feed mills using process fugitive emission factors from a study recently conducted at Texas A&M University and newly developed point source emission factors and use dispersion modeling to determine if these emissions will comply with EPA's National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Current methods of determining annual emissions for a feed mill operation associated with a cattle feed yard are in error due to inaccurate emission factors. The emission factors developed from this study will be compared with those currently used to regulate feed mills associated with cattle feed yards. | en |
