Title: ●NESHAP: Taconite Iron Ore Processing Industry 
Abstract: The taconite iron ore processing source category is comprised of nine facilities operating in the United States. Seven facilities are located in Minnesota and two are located in Michigan. The expected sources of HAP emissions for this source category include: fossil fuel combustion sources, and possibly the handling and transfer of mined ore containing naturally occurring inorganic compounds. Anticipated HAP emissions released from these sources primarily include: formaldehyde, manganese, nickel, arsenic, and chromium. The quantities of HAP released are expected to exceed major source levels.
