Proposed ADEQ rules for limiting smelter lead dust, sulfur dioxide emissions open to public comment

By James J. Hodl Copper Area News Citizens and businesses have the opportunity to comment on proposed rules drafted by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) for significantly decreasing the release two types of pollutants from copper smelters in Hayden and Miami to within federal regulations adopted since 2008.

The rules are aimed at reducing the release of airborne lead dust from the Hayden smelter (owned

by ASARCO) and the release of sulfur dioxide from the smelters in Hayden and Miami (the latter owned by FreeportMcMoRan) in order to protect the public health and environment. They cover the use of specific control technologies and include recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

ADEQ opened the comment period on December 5. Interested parties will have until January 9, 2017 to file comments on the proposed rules, after which ADEQ will hold a public hearing

to address any concerns and draft the final rules.

Once finalized, the rules will be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for incorporation in Arizona’s State Implementation Plan as required under Section 110 of the Clean Air Act. Should ADEQ not produce these rules, EPA has the right under the Clean Air Act to draft and impose their own.

The need for the new ADEQ rulemaking began in 2008 when EPA revised its air quality standards for lead (last updated in 1979), strengthening them by nearly 90%. The new maximum allowable level

In Loving Memory ANGEL (PeeWee) M. ROMERO

of lead in ambient air is a rolling three-month average of 0.15 micrograms per cubic meter evaluated over a three-year period.

In implementing the new National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), EPA conducted a technical analysis in 2010 in the Gila and Pinal County townships around the Hayden smelter and decreed it in 2014 a nonattainment area in need of improvement.

EPA in 2010 likewise revised the allowable level of sulfur dioxide emissions to 75 parts per billion per hour. Subsequent testing found both the Hayden and Miami areas to be not in compliance and were thus declared nonattainment areas around them.

In adopting the more stringent rules, EPA cited the negative health effects of those two

pollutants. Breathing airborne lead dust can impair the sensory, motor and cognitive skills of developing children; and can impair the memory and visual skills of adults, as well as increase the likelihood of heart attacks.

Breathing high levels of sulfur dioxide can damage the lungs, and cause asthma and other respiratory problems.

A substantial portion of ADEQ’s proposed rules cover the control of “fugitive lead dust.” Lead is found in the same ore holding copper and can be released during the smelting process as dust that can settle atop the areas around a smelter.

For this reason, the rules would require ASARCO to daily sweep vacuum or use a wet broom on paved areas around the smelter compound to remove lead

dust, and to spread dust suppressant on unpaved roads at least once a week.

Vehicles traveling over these roads cannot exceed 15 m.p.h. and must be frequently cleaned. Wind fences are mandated.

During high wind events, rules note when smelter operations must stop to avoid widespread lead dust dispersal. Equipping the facility with an Acid Plant Scrubber Blowdown Dryer System is to be required.

The smelter compound must be equipped with ambient lead monitors, and samples collected must be retained a minimum six days.

For sulfur dioxide containment, ADEQ proposes regulations governing furnace ventilators, filtering systems, and the installation of monitors to record sulfur dioxide concentrations with the compound. Contingency measures are to be implemented if an area fails to attain EPA standards.

ADEQ further proposes stringent measurement and recordkeeping requirements for both pollutants.

For their part, both ASARCO and FreeportMcMoRan proposed expensive upgrades to their copper smelters in early 2014 to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions as ADEQ was working on these proposed rules.

To meet the new EPA sulfur dioxide standards, ASARCO launched a converter retrofit program to replace the smelter’s five 13-ft. diameter converters with three 15-ft. diameter converters, install Continued on page 8

New Mayor, Councilpersons to be Sworn in Monday

M

onday, December 19, is the regular meeting of the Town Council.

But it won’t be “regular” because a special, significant thing will happen.

Debra Sommers will be sworn in as Mayor of Kearny, and she will be joined by Council Members Samantha Misita and Rose Bradford. I will turn the gavel over to Mayor Sommers and join retiring Council Members Rudy Flores and David Herrera in leaving our roles.

I hope that many of us will come to the meeting to experience the work of the Mayor and Town Council and witness this

solemn event. The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m.

This has been a productive year for our town. The happiest event in my estimation is the successful reconfiguration of the water filtration plant on Upton. Now we are blessed with clear water after many years of metal particulates and obnoxious smells.

Well, maybe the happiest event was the reopening of the town pool, newly restored and fully compliant with all codes. This was a true community effort involving the giving of funds and volunteer time and

expertise. This couldn’t have happened without the support of Kearny residents.

Then again, I was pleased with all the paving of town roads. Upton, Tilbury, and blocks of Essex, Fairhaven, and Greenwich received a new surface, and I am especially pleased that the heavily-deteriorated Mountain View Drive was given a new surface.

I’m also happy that Mike Kotraba and the people of the ASARCO Ray Mine have been so helpful to Kearny. This fall ASARCO employees spent a full day Continued on page 8

Hayden wrestling finds strength in (lack of) numbers

By Andrew Luberda Copper Basin News There is strength in numbers, but in the case of the Hayden wrestling team the Lobos are finding strength despite only traveling with seven wrestlers.

The Lobos finished fifth out of 21 teams at last weekend’s Titan Invitational, which took place at Chandler Prep High School.

All seven Lobos’ wrestlers placed at the two-day event, including three who brought home first-place medals and another who finished second.

Mikee Mariscal (106), who was named Lightweight MVP, was one of three Lobos to finish with a perfect 6 – 0 and take the top step of the medal stand. Noah Monroy (145) and Brandon Cruz (152) were the others. Ryan Donovan went 5 – 1 and placed second. Omar Lopez (120) and Joel Rodriguez (195) were fourth-place finishers while Peter

Kame (170) placed sixth.

Earlier last week, the Lobos went 1 – 1 – 1 at the Round Valley four-way dual meet, losing to host Round Valley, defeating Chandler Prep (36 – 18) and ending in a tie with

Lady Cats bounce back from loss with pair of wins

By Andrew Luberda Copper Basin News The No. 6-ranked Ray girls’ basketball team rebounded nicely (no pun intended, ok maybe a little) from a 63 – 53 loss to Ft. Thomas on Dec. 6 by defeating San Manuel and Miami last Thursday and Friday, respectively.

Freshman Shelby Yocum poured in 14 points and grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds in the Lady Bearcats’ 54 – 23 win against the Miners. Yocum was one of three Lady Cats to score

in double figures, joining Tara Lorona (12 points) and Savannah Rodriguez (14 Points). Yocum, who also had five assists and eight steals, nearly recorded a triple-double in the win.

Against Miami, five Lady Cats scored in double figures, leading to a 94 – 31 beat down of the Lady Vandals. Yocum (25 Points), Rodriguez (18 points), Lorona (12 points), Julie Meza (15 points) and Ema Alvarado (10 points) combined to score 80 of the team’s 94 points.

Upcoming schedule: Dec. 13 at Hayden and Dec. 16 vs.

Superior. All games are scheduled for 5:30 p.m.

improved primary and secondary hoods, and an electrostatic precipitator for solids removal prior to recapturing sulfur dioxide in acid baths. Larger ladles (300 cu. Ft. instead of 200 cu. Ft.) will be installed to reduce the number of hot metal transfers. As a result, ASARCO said, about 99.7% of all sulfur dioxide produced during the copper smelting process would be removed.
