Permit DescriptionIntroduction
The Title V operating air permit is intended to be a document containing only enforceable terms andconditions as well as any additional information, such as the identification of emission units, emissionpoints, emission sources and processes, that makes the terms meaningful. 40 CFR Part 70.7(a)(5) requiresthat each Title V permit have an accompanying "...statement that sets forth the legal and factual basis forthe draft permit conditions". The purpose for this permit review report is to satisfy the above requirementby providing pertinent details regarding the permit/application data and permit conditions in a more easilyunderstandable format. This report will also include background narrative and explanations of regulatorydecisions made by the reviewer. It should be emphasized that this permit review report, while based oninformation contained in the permit, is a separate document and is not itself an enforceable term andcondition of the permit.

Permit Structure and Description of Operations
The Title V permit for LAFARGE BUILDING MATERIALS INCis structured in terms of the following hierarchy: facility, emission unit, emission point, emission sourceand process. A facility is defined as all emission sources located at one or more adjacent or contiguousproperties owned or operated by the same person or persons under common control. The facility issubdivided into one or more emission units (EU). Emission units are defined as any part or activity of astationary facility that emits or has the potential to emit any federal or state regulated air pollutant. Anemission unit is represented as a grouping of processes (defined as any activity involving one or moreemission sources (ES) that emits or has the potential to emit any federal or state regulated air pollutant).An emission source is defined as any apparatus, contrivance or machine capable of causing emissions of any air contaminant to the outdoor atmosphere, including any appurtenant exhaust system or air cleaningdevice. [NOTE: Indirect sources of air contamination as defined in 6 NYCRR Part 203 (i.e. parking lots)are excluded from this definition]. The applicant is required to identify the principal piece of equipment(i.e., emission source) that directly results in or controls the emission of federal or state regulated airpollutants from an activity (i.e., process). Emission sources are categorized by the following types:combustion - devices which burn fuel to generate heat, steam or powerincinerator - devices which burn waste material for disposalcontrol - emission control devicesprocess - any device or contrivance which may emit air contaminantsthat is not included in the above categories.LAFARGE BUILDING MATERIALS INC is defined by the following emission unit(s):
