SECTION I. INTRODUCTION
Michelin North America (Michelin) has requested renewal of the Title V operating permit for
their Ardmore tire plant (SIC Code 3011). The facility is currently operating under Permit No.
2013-1159-TVR2 (M-1) issued May 16, 2017.
Michelin has requested the following changes from the current operating permit:
1. Tire building operations will be renamed from EUG “TBLDG” to “PREP.”
2. The White Sidewall (WSW) inspection grinder will be moved to EUG “WSW” from
EUG “PREP.”
3. Tread-end cementing operations currently in EUG “PREP” will be moved to a separate
EUG for operations subject to MACT Subpart XXXX.
4. The Tire Uniformity Optimizer (TUO) operations and WSW operations will be classified
as “insignificant activities.” The applicant has submitted calculations showing that
emissions from each operation are below 5 TPY prior to controls.
5. The boilers will be limited to natural gas fuel only to avoid liquid fuel requirements of
MACT Subpart DDDDD.

6. Three tanks have been removed from service and will be removed from the permit: Tank
A-2 (8,820 gallon solvent tank), Tank F-1 (420,000 gallon diesel fuel storage), and Tank
I-2 (8,820 gallon hydraulic oil bulk storage).
7. Two 30,000 gallon process oil tanks (B-1 and B-2), which were previously subject to
NSPS Subpart Kb at construction but have ceased to be due to vapor pressures below 0.5
psia, are being moved from EUG “TANKS-1” to EUG “TANKS” with other tanks not
subject to Subpart Kb.
8. The Mix Area Vacuum Cleaner, used for housekeeping, is being removed from the
permit.
9. The carbon black unloading systems do not use a baghouse, therefore, are not subject to
CAM. The operation consists only of a carbon black unloading system. The system is a
pneumatic system that uses the negative pressure created by the cyclonic system to pull
carbon black from the hopper delivery truck. The cyclonic system temporarily holds the
carbon black while the air valves are reversed. Once the valves are reversed, the carbon
black is pneumatically transferred to sealed silos. From the silos, the carbon black is
pneumatically transferred to sealed bins. The bins are stored on the carbon black storage
pad. As carbon black is needed at the mixer, a “Seald Bin” is moved by lift to the crane
hoist for hoisting to the 3rd floor of the mix area. The bin is moved into the building to the
mixer weigh-up and then transferred by gravity to the mix process. The cyclones and the
silos are contained in a separate building. There are no separate dust collectors in the
carbon black transfer system. Air is recirculated and discharged only at transport
decoupling. Filters are internal to the cyclone to prevent carbon black from being lost
when the air flow is reversed. The filters are part of the cyclone. Calculated annual PM
emissions are 1.24 TPY, making carbon black unloading an “insignificant activity” now.
Since the facility emits more than 100 TPY of a regulated pollutant, it is subject to Title V
permitting requirements. Emission units (EUs) have been arranged into Emission Unit Groups
(EUGs). The facility is subject to PSD requirements and also subject to the requirements of 40
CFR Part 63, Subparts XXXX, ZZZZ, and DDDDD.
SECTION II. FACILITY DESCRIPTION
The facility was initially constructed in 1970 and was modified in 1974, 1975, 1976, 1982, 1988,
1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1999, 2001, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2013, 2016, and 2017.
Tire production begins with mixing raw materials (natural and synthetic rubbers, carbon black,
and accelerators) in a large blender called a Banbury mixer. Mixed rubber of varying
compositions are produced in long sheets and stacked on pallets prior to movement to the various
rubber-using operations.

The rubber "mixed stock" is used for making tire components in the Stock Preparation Area.
Primary components are rubber-coated fabric, rubber-coated wire, and solid rubber profiles for
treads, sidewalls, and miscellaneous components. Mixed stock passes through a series of two-roll
mills where the rubber stock is blended and warmed by running through the rollers; no external
heat is added. The rubber is processed to its final shape by passing through extruders or
"calenders," where fabric cord and rubber are pressed flat. Cement may be applied to the tread
ends to bond the ends together during the tire assembly process. As a result of process
improvement, it is no longer necessary to cement all tread ends.
Tire assembly involves putting together beads, the inner liner, ply materials, sidewalls, steel
belts, and tread. The assembled tire is referred to as a "green tire". “Green Tire Spray” is applied
to the green tire to aid in mold release. The green tires are "cured" with no-contact steam heat to
fuse the rubber components, imprint the tread pattern, and complete the vulcanizing process.
Cured tires proceed to the "TUO" (tire uniformity optimizer - RIS grinding) where very small
amounts of rubber may be ground off the tread and sidewalls.
In addition to the tire manufacturing processes, the plant includes a "bladder" manufacturing unit.
"Bladders" are inflatable rubber balloons, which are used during tire curing to press the green tire to
its mold from inside the green tire. Bladders are manufactured at the Ardmore plant both for use
within the plant and other tire manufacturing locations.
There are three boilers supporting the operations. Two of these predated the first permitting
regulation (October 1972), while the third was installed in 1975. Each boiler is rated at 60
MMBTUH and is designed to burn both liquid (either distillate or residual oils) and gas fuels. The
facility is now taking a limit that the boilers be fueled only with natural gas to avoid most standards
of NESHAP Subpart DDDDD.
Permit No. 2000-128-C (PSD)(M-1) authorized the facility to prepare a new type of rubber,
rubber using a silica blend, on existing units at the facility. The tires that contain this
silica/elastomer compound have a lower rolling resistance, good grip on cold road surfaces, and
better tread wear qualities. Since only a portion of the tire is tread rubber and only a portion of
that tread contains silica, the silica filler is never used at the process’s maximum capacity. The
project added units which receive and store silica. A facility-wide cap on raw materials usages was
established.

SECTION IV. EMISSIONS
Emissions from the facility are limited by a plantwide cap described following. Air pollutants
will be emitted from gluing/cementing operations, from solid raw materials mixing and
handling, from rubber heating/molding operations, from green tire spraying, miscellaneous
operations, and the three boilers. Emissions from adhesive usage, green tire spraying, and
protective coatings are determined on a mass-balance basis. Emissions of powdered solids
were determined from stack testing at other facilities. Estimated emissions for the tanks are
based on TANKS3.1. Emissions from tire and bladder grinding were estimated from factors
supplied by the Rubber Manufacturer’s Association (RMA), as were emissions from
compounding and extruding conventional tire rubber. Emissions from compounding and
extruding silica rubber were based on stack testing by the RMA: compounding operations yield
0.122 pound of ethanol per pound of silane, while curing operations yield 0.049 pounds of
ethanol per pound of silane.
Emissions calculations were based on 42,250 tires per day. The sum of emissions shown for
individual emissions units will exceed the plantwide total, allowing production to swing
between EUGs, but the plantwide “cap” will provide the effective limitation.
Facility boilers will be limited to natural gas fuel. Emissions were calculated using factors for
AP-42 (7/98), Section 1.4 for gas fuel.
The Rubber Manufacturer's Association (RMA) has developed factors for VOC and HAP
emissions from rubber processing; these factors have been proposed, but not yet accepted, for
inclusion into AP-42. According to the applicant, whenever a range was specified, the high end
of the range was used in calculating VOC emissions.
Since emissions rates are limited by tire curing rates, total emissions are less than the sum of
the individual emission unit group limitations.

SECTION VI. OKLAHOMA AIR POLLUTION CONTROL RULES
OAC 252:100-1 (General Provisions) [Applicable]
Subchapter 1 includes definitions but there are no regulatory requirements.
OAC 252:100-2 (Incorporation by Reference) [Applicable]
This subchapter incorporates by reference applicable provisions of Title 40 of the Code of
Federal Regulations. These requirements are addressed in the “Federal Regulations” section.
OAC 252:100-3 (Air Quality Standards and Increments) [Applicable]
Subchapter 3 enumerates the primary and secondary ambient air quality standards and the
significant deterioration increments. At this time, all of Oklahoma is in “attainment” of
these standards. In addition, modeled emissions from the facility demonstrate that the facility
would not have a significant impact on air quality.
OAC 252:100-5 (Registration, Emissions Inventory and Annual Operating Fees)[Applicable]
Subchapter 5 requires sources of air contaminants to register with Air Quality, file emission
inventories annually, and pay annual operating fees based upon total annual emissions of
regulated pollutants. Emission inventories were submitted and fees paid for previous years
as required.
OAC 252:100-8 (Permits for Part 70 Sources) [Applicable]
Part 5 includes the general administrative requirements for part 70 permits. Any planned
changes in the operation of the facility which result in emissions not authorized in the permit
and which exceed the “Insignificant Activities” or “Trivial Activities” thresholds require
prior notification to AQD and may require a permit modification. Insignificant activities
mean individual emission units that either are on the list in Appendix I (OAC 252:100) or
whose actual calendar year emissions do not exceed the following limits:
5 TPY of any one criteria pollutant
2 TPY of any one hazardous air pollutant (HAP) or 5 TPY of multiple HAPs or 20% of
any threshold less than 10 TPY for a HAP that the EPA may establish by rule
Emission limitations for all the sources are taken from the permit application and previous
permit.
OAC 252:100-9 (Excess Emissions Reporting Requirements) [Applicable]
Except as provided in OAC 252:100-9-7(a)(1), the owner or operator of a source of excess
emissions shall notify the Director as soon as possible but no later than 4:30 p.m. the
following working day of the first occurrence of excess emissions in each excess emission

OAC 252:100-25 (Visible Emissions and Particulates) [Applicable]
No discharge of greater than 20% opacity is allowed except for short-term occurrences
which consist of not more than one six-minute period in any consecutive 60 minutes, not to
exceed three such periods in any consecutive 24 hours. In no case shall the average of any
six-minute period exceed 60% opacity. When burning natural gas there is very little
possibility of exceeding these standards.
OAC 252:100-29 (Fugitive Dust) [Applicable]
No person shall cause or permit the discharge of any visible fugitive dust emissions beyond
the property line on which the emissions originate in such a manner as to damage or to
interfere with the use of adjacent properties, or cause air quality standards to be exceeded, or
interfere with the maintenance of air quality standards. Solids handling operations are
conducted in enclosed operations, with most discharges vented to baghouses. Under normal
operating conditions, this facility will not cause a problem in this area, therefore it is not
necessary to require specific precautions to be taken.

OAC 252:100-31 (Sulfur Compounds) [Applicable]
Two of the boilers were installed prior to 1972, the effective date of Subchapter 31, while
the third was installed after 1972.
Part 2 limits the ambient air concentration of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) emissions from any
facility to 0.2 ppmv (24-hour average) at standard conditions which is equivalent to 283
ug/m3. Facilities combusting pipeline-grade natural gas will have negligible H2S emissions.
Part 5 limits sulfur dioxide emissions from new equipment (constructed after July 1, 1972).
For gaseous fuels the limit is 0.2 lb/MMBTU heat input averaged over 3 hours. For fuel gas
having a gross calorific value of 1,000 BTU/SCF, this limit corresponds to fuel sulfur
content of 1,203 ppmv. The permit requires the use of commercial natural gas to ensure
compliance with Subchapter 31.
OAC 252:100-33 (Nitrogen Oxides) [Applicable]
This subchapter limits new fuel-burning equipment with rated heat input greater than or
equal to 50 MMBTUH to emissions of 0.2 lb of NOx per MMBTU when using gas fuel. The
newest boiler is subject to these limitations. Using AP-42 (1/95, Section 1.4) factors, gas
fuel emissions have been estimated at 0.10 lb/MMBTU. These emission rates are in
compliance with Subchapter 33.
OAC 252:100-35 (Carbon Monoxide) [Not Applicable]
This facility has none of the affected sources: gray iron cupola, blast furnace, basic oxygen
furnace, petroleum catalytic cracking unit, or petroleum catalytic reforming unit.
OAC 252:100-37 (Volatile Organic Compounds) [Applicable]
Part 3 affects new (constructed after December 28, 1974) storage tanks with a capacity
between 400 and 40,000 gallons holding an organic liquid with a true vapor pressure greater
than 1.5 psia. The rubber solvent and diesel have vapor pressures below the 1.5 psia
threshold.
Part 5 limits the VOC content of paints and coatings. Organic materials used as rubber
additives are not regulated by Subchapter 37.
Part 7 requires fuel-burning and refuse-burning equipment to be operated to minimize
emissions of VOC. The equipment at this location is subject to this requirement.
Part 7 also affects effluent-water separators which receive more than 200 gallons per day of
VOC which have a vapor pressure of 1.5 psia or greater. The facility operates effluent water
separators for stormwater clean-up and process oil separation. These separators receive less
than 200 gallons per day of VOC and the organic materials have vapor pressures below 1.5
psia.

Director may require the owner or operator of any source in the state of Oklahoma to install,
maintain and operate monitoring equipment or to conduct tests, including stack tests, of the
air contaminant source. All required testing must be conducted by methods approved by the
Air Quality Director and under the direction of qualified personnel. A notice-of-intent to
test and a testing protocol shall be submitted to Air Quality at least 30 days prior to any EPA
Reference Method stack tests. Emissions and other data required to demonstrate compliance
with any federal or state emission limit or standard, or any requirement set forth in a valid
permit shall be recorded, maintained, and submitted as required by this subchapter, an
applicable rule, or permit requirement. Data from any required testing or monitoring not
conducted in accordance with the provisions of this subchapter shall be considered invalid.
Nothing shall preclude the use, including the exclusive use, of any credible evidence or
information relevant to whether a source would have been in compliance with applicable
requirements if the appropriate performance or compliance test or procedure had been
performed. Monitoring and reporting of solvent usage has been established to ensure
compliance with the facility plant-wide VOC emissions limit.

SECTION I. DUTY TO COMPLY
A. This is a permit to operate / construct this specific facility in accordance with the federal
Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401, et al.) and under the authority of the Oklahoma Clean Air Act
and the rules promulgated there under. [Oklahoma Clean Air Act, 27A O.S. § 2-5-112]
B. The issuing Authority for the permit is the Air Quality Division (AQD) of the Oklahoma
Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). The permit does not relieve the holder of the
obligation to comply with other applicable federal, state, or local statutes, regulations, rules, or
ordinances. [Oklahoma Clean Air Act, 27A O.S. § 2-5-112]
C. The permittee shall comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance
shall constitute a violation of the Oklahoma Clean Air Act and shall be grounds for enforcement
action, permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification, or for denial of a permit
renewal application. All terms and conditions are enforceable by the DEQ, by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), and by citizens under section 304 of the Federal Clean Air Act
(excluding state-only requirements). This permit is valid for operations only at the specific
location listed.
[40 C.F.R. §70.6(b), OAC 252:100-8-1.3 and OAC 252:100-8-6(a)(7)(A) and (b)(1)]
D. It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been
necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the
conditions of the permit. However, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as precluding
consideration of a need to halt or reduce activity as a mitigating factor in assessing penalties for
noncompliance if the health, safety, or environmental impacts of halting or reducing operations
would be more serious than the impacts of continuing operations. [OAC 252:100-8-6(a)(7)(B)]
SECTION II. REPORTING OF DEVIATIONS FROM PERMIT TERMS
A. Any exceedance resulting from an emergency and/or posing an imminent and substantial
danger to public health, safety, or the environment shall be reported in accordance with Section
XIV (Emergencies). [OAC 252:100-8-6(a)(3)(C)(iii)(I) & (II)]
B. Deviations that result in emissions exceeding those allowed in this permit shall be reported
consistent with the requirements of OAC 252:100-9, Excess Emission Reporting Requirements.
