Heber. The facility uses internal combustion natural gas and diesel fuel powered engines to power
generators to produce electricity. The facility is generally operated during peak demand and emergency
episodes. All power generated by the facility is sold to the existing power grid. Heber also generates
energy through on-site research and development (R&D) engines. Combustion emissions are generated
as a result of on-site operations.

Project Description
Heber has requested a modification to their AO for:
1. The addition of a new, 3,161 hp natural gas engine.
2. Update NOx and CO emissions as a result of engine operations and testing, requiring updated emission
limits.
3. The removal of Engine Unit #6.
4. Updating engine sizing as follows: Unit #5; 1550 kW (previously 1620 kW), Unit #12; 2200 kW
(previously 2150 kW).
5. Updating unit operational hours, including aggregating operational hours for engines with the same
size and emission rate. Therefore, Units #4, #7, and #8 will have a combined total operational hour limit,
and Units #12-14 will have a combined total operational limit.
6. Reducing the hours of operation for Engine #11 to 5,200 hours per year.
7. Subsequent PTE updates as a result of these changes.
8. Plant equipment reconfiguration and addition of SCRs to existing engines unit #12 and #13.

Project Description
Heber has requested a modification to their AO for:
1. The addition of a new, 3,161 hp natural gas engine
2. Update NOx and CO emissions as a result of engine operations and testing, requiring updated emission
limits
3. The removal of Engine Unit #6
4. Updating engine sizing as follows: Unit #5; 1550 kW (previously 1620 kW), Unit #12; 2200 kW
(previously 2150 kW).
5. Updating unit operational hours, including aggregating operational hours for engines with the same
size and emission rate. Therefore, Units #4, #7, and #8 will have a combined total operational hour limit,
and Units #12-14 will have a combined total operational limit.
6. Reducing the hours of operation for Engine #11 to 5,200 hours per year.
7. Subsequent PTE updates as a result of these changes
8. Plant equipment reconfiguration and addition of SCRs to existing engines unit #12 and #13

The DAQ requests a company representative review and sign the attached Engineer Review (ER). This
ER identifies all applicable elements of the New Source Review permitting program. Heber Light &
Power Company should complete this review within 10 business days of receipt.
Heber Light & Power Company should contact Sarah Foran at (385) 306-6724 if there are questions or
concerns with the review of the draft permit conditions. Upon resolution of your concerns, please email
Sarah Foran at sforan@utah.gov the signed cover letter. Upon receipt of the signed cover letter, the
DAQ will prepare an ITA for a 30-day public comment period. At the completion of the comment period,
the DAQ will address any comments and will prepare an Approval Order (AO) for signature by the DAQ
Director.
If Heber Light & Power Company does not respond to this letter within 10 business days, the project will
move forward without source concurrence. If Heber Light & Power Company has concerns that cannot
be resolved and the project becomes stagnant, the DAQ Director may issue an Order prohibiting
construction.

General Description
Heber Light & Power Company (Heber) operates an electricity generating facility at its Ray
Farrell Internal Combustion Power Plant Site. The facility operates as an electric power peaking
facility in Heber. The facility uses internal combustion natural gas and diesel fuel powered
engines to power generators to produce electricity. The facility is generally operated during peak
demand and emergency episodes. All power generated by the facility is sold to the existing power
grid. Heber also generates energy through on-site research and development (R&D) engines.
Combustion emissions are generated as a result of on-site operations.

Project Proposal
Modification of AO DAQE-AN108840012-22 to Update Equipment
Project Description
Heber has requested a modification to their AO for:
1. The addition of a new, 3,161 hp natural gas engine
2. Update NOx and CO emissions as a result of engine operations and testing, requiring updated
emission limits
3. The removal of Engine Unit #6
4. Updating engine sizing as follows: Unit #5; 1550 kW (previously 1620 kW), Unit #12; 2200
kW (previously 2150 kW).
5. Updating unit operational hours, including aggregating operational hours for engines with the
same size and emission rate. Therefore, Units #4, #7, and #8 will have a combined total
operational hour limit, and Units #12-14 will have a combined total operational limit.
6. Reducing the hours of operation for Engine #11 to 5,200 hours per year.
7. Subsequent PTE updates as a result of these changes
8. Plant equipment reconfiguration and addition of SCRs to existing engines unit #12 and #13

Review of BACT for New/Modified Emission Units
1. BACT review regarding New Engine and increased hours
The addition of Unit #14, the increase in operation hours and higher emissions rates for CO and
NOx, will result in a potential increase in emissions of criteria pollutants.
PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from natural gas combustion occur from noncombustible constituents in
the fuel. The EPA RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse (RBLC) database lists good operation
practices and the use of pipeline quality natural gas as the primary control technologies for natural-
gas-fired generators of similar size.
SO2 emissions from natural gas combustion result from the sulfur content of the natural gas burned
during combustion. The RBLC database lists the use of low-sulfur natural gas as the primary
control technology for natural-gas-fired generators.
CO and VOC emissions from natural gas combustion are a result of incomplete combustion of the
fuel. The RBLC database lists CO lb/hr limitations, good combustion practices and oxidation
catalysts as the primary control technologies for natural-gas-fired turbines. BACT for the new and
updated engines is compliance with the proposed 1.0 lb/hr CO emission rate (0.143 g/hp-hr).
NOx emissions are generated from natural gas combustion. Potential add-on controls for NOx
reduction include low NOx combustion technology and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) as the
primary control technologies for natural-gas-fired generators.
The source selected a SCR to control NOx emissions from the new engine. SCR was additionally
selected by the source for engines unit #12, #13, and #14. No cost analysis was done prior to
voluntarily selecting SCR as control for these engines. SCRs are the top control option for NOx.
Regardless of controls selected, all stationary spark ignition engines must comply with 40 CFR 60
Subpart JJJJ. The use of natural gas as a fuel, low NOx combustion technology by design, catalytic
oxidizers and good combustion practices for the remaining generators are accepted as BACT. [Last

REVIEWER COMMENTS
1. Comment regarding Emission Estimates:
Site-wide PTE was recalculated in this modification, including updated lb/hr limits as determined by
engine testing for NOx and CO.
All emissions were based on the maximum hours of operation per engine, the engine size, and
specific emission rate.
SO2, VOC, PM10, PM2.5 and HAP emissions for natural-gas fired engines were calculated using
emission factors from AP-42 Chapter 3 Section 3.2. NOx and CO emissions were estimated using
stack testing results. Each engine will be tested to the NOx and CO lb/hr rate as outline in the
conditions of section II.B. Units fitted with an oxidation catalyst applied a 50% control efficiency to
VOC, HAP emissions.
SO2, VOC, PM10, PM2.5 and HAP emissions for the R&D Diesel Engines were calculated using
emission factors from AP-42 Chapter 3, Section 3.4 Tables 1 and 2. NOx and CO emissions were
estimate using previous stack testing data. Emissions for the diesel engines was estimated assuming
18.50 MMBtu/hr of diesel burned over 5,000 hours.
Criteria emissions for the diesel-fired emergency engines were calculated using the "Diesel-Fired
Engines" excel sheet proved by DAQ under the "Calculate Your Emissions" page. Emissions were
estimated for 100 hours of use for the 60 kW and 80 kW engines.
GHG emissions were estimated using the multiplication factors from 40 CFR Part 98, Subpart A,
Table A-1.

2. Comment regarding NSPS and MACT Applicability:
40 CFR 60 Subpart JJJJ Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion
Engines applies to new, modified, or reconstructed stationary sources that meet or exceed specified
applicability thresholds. Engines Unit #5 and Unit #13 are subject to the requirements of this
subpart.
40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary
Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines applies to stationary RICE at a major or area source of
HAP emissions. All engines are subject to Subpart ZZZZ. [Last updated January 12, 2023]

3. Comment regarding Title V Applicability:
Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act (Title V) applies to the following:
1. Any major source
2. Any source subject to a standard, limitation, or other requirement under Section 111 of the Act,
Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources;
3. Any source subject to a standard or other requirement under Section 112 of the Act, Hazardous
Air Pollutants.
4. Any Title IV affected source.
This source is not a major source, is not a Title IV source. Therefore, Title V does not apply to this
facility. [Last updated January 12, 2023]
4. Comment regarding Updated Emission Rates:
The total changes will result in a decrease of 6.84 ton per year for all engines combined. Emissions
for the previous AO were based on proposed operating conditions with a 20% growth increase
factored in. These emission parameters were factored into the operational hours. As a result of on-
sight testing, the source has requested an update to each engine to account for these values within the
operational hour limits and lb/hr limits. SCRs were added to engines #12, #13 and the new engine
#14. After stack testing and facility evaluations, the source has requested each engine to change as

DATE: June 27, 2022
SUBJECT: Modeling Analysis Review for the Notice of Intent for Heber Light and Power Company
– Heber Power Plant, Wasatch County, Utah
_____________________________________________________________________________________
This is not a Major Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Source.
I. OBJECTIVE
Heber Light and Power Company (Applicant) is seeking an approval order for their power plant
located in Wasatch County, Utah. Heber has requested a modification to their AO for the addition
of a new natural-gas-fired engine, the replacement of an existing engine, and the removal of diesel
storage tanks.
This report, prepared by the Staff of the New Source Review Section (NSR), contains a review of
the air quality impact analysis (AQIA) including the information, data, assumptions and modeling
results used to determine if the facility will be in compliance with applicable State and Federal
concentration standards.
II. APPLICABLE RULE(S)
Utah Air Quality Rules:
R307-401-6 Condition for Issuing an Approval Order
R307-410-3 Use of Dispersion Models
R307-410-4 Modeling of Criteria Pollutants in Attainment Areas
III. MODELING METHODOLOGY
A. Applicability
Emissions from the facility include PM10, NOx, CO, SO2, and HAPs. This modeling is part of a
modified approval order. The emission rates for NOx triggered the requirement to model under
R307-410. Modeling was performed by the Applicant.

B. Assumptions
1. Topography/Terrain
The Plant is at an elevation 5571 feet with terrain features that have an affect on
concentration predictions.
a. Zone: 12
b. Approximate Location:
UTM (NAD83): 463,964 meters East
4,483,733 meters North
2. Urban or Rural Area Designation
After a review of the appropriate 7.5-minute quadrangles, it was concluded the area is
“rural” for air modeling purposes.
3. Ambient Air
It was determined the Plant boundary used in the AQIA meets the State’s definition of
ambient air.
4. Building Downwash
The source was modeled with the AERMOD model. All structures at the plant were used in
the model to account for their influence on downwash.
5. Meteorology
Five (5) years of off-site surface and upper air data were used in the analysis consisting of
the following:
Surface – Spanish Fork, UT NWS: 2004-208
Upper Air – Salt Lake Airport, UT NWS: 2004-2008
6. Background
The background concentrations were based on concentrations measured in Price, Utah.
7. Receptor and Terrain Elevations
The modeling domain used by the Applicant consisted of receptors including property
boundary receptors. This area of the state contains mountainous terrain and the modeling
domain has simple and complex terrain features in the near and far fields. Therefore,
receptor points representing actual terrain elevations from the area were used in the
analysis.
DAQE- MN108840013-23

8. Model and Options
The State-accepted AERMOD model was used to predict air pollutant concentrations under
a simple/complex terrain/wake effect situation. In quantifying concentrations, the
regulatory default option was selected.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
The Heber Light & Power Ray Farrell Internal Combustion Power Plant is located in Wasatch
County, an attainment area for all pollutants. At the emission levels described in this NOI, the
facility remains a minor source.
The facility will now consist of two Caterpillar G3516C engines (1&2), three Caterpillar G3520C
engines (4,7,8), one Caterpillar G3516DSL engine (5), one Caterpillar G3516H engine (11), one
G3520H engine (12), one Caterpillar 3520DSL (13), one G3520H (14) and research &
development engines. Additionally, there are two portable emergency generators will be
stored at the Power Plant Facility in 2021. Table 1 below identifies the NOx and CO hourly
emission rates.
EMISSION SOURCES
The maximum annual hour usage was estimated to establish the potential emissions. The
following table illustrates the projected emission rates for all engines. All engine emission factors
list in Table 1 are based on performance test results from various tests over the past handful of
years with added levels of conservatism. The lb/hr values are derived from the tested parts per
million (ppm) concentration and corresponding flow rate (dscf). Applicable conversion factors
from EPA Method 19, Table within 40 CFR 60 Appendix A-7 were used. The conversion to g/kW-hr
assumed the kW utilized during the tests and 453.5 g/lb. All other pollutants are based on AP-42
emission factors.

NATIONAL AMBIENT AIR QUALITY STANDARDS (NAAQS)
Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) are identified in 40 CFR Part 50 and
define levels of air quality, which the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)
deems necessary to protect the public health. Secondary NAAQS define levels of air quality,
which the USEPA judges necessary to protect public welfare from any known or anticipated
adverse effects of a pollutant. Examples of public welfare include protecting wildlife, buildings,
national monuments, vegetation, visibility, and property values from degradation due to
excessive emissions of criteria pollutants.
Specific standards for the following pollutants have been promulgated by USEPA: PM10, SO2,
NOx, CO, ozone, lead, and PM2.5. Heber emits PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, CO, and VOCs, a precursor
to ozone. The modification is a net increase in emissions. Those that do increase do not exceed

any modeling thresholds. However, 1-hr NO2 modeling was conducted based on past
experience with UDAQ modeling staff regarding this facility. For details refer to Appendix G.
TITLE V (PART 70) OPERATING PERMIT
Title V of the Clean Air Act (CAA) created the federal operating permit program. These
permitting requirements are codified in 40 CFR Part 70. These permits are required for major
sources with a PTE (considering federally enforceable limitations) greater than 100 tpy for any
criteria pollutant, 25 tpy for all hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) in aggregate, or 10 tpy of any
single HAP. Heber is a minor source because the potential to emit of all criteria emissions does
not exceed 100 tons per year, nor are the HAPs thresholds exceeded. Therefore, a Title V
Operating permit is not needed.
NATIONAL EMISSION STANDARDS FOR HAZARDOUS AIR
POLLUTANTS (NESHAPS)
Two sets of National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) may potentially
apply to Heber. The first NESHAP regulations were developed under the auspices of the original
CAA. These standards are codified in 40 CFR Part 61 and address a limited number of pollutants
and industries. 40 CFR Part 61 regulations do not apply to this facility.
Newer regulations are codified in 40 CFR Part 63 under the authority of the 1990 Clean Air Act
Amendments (CAAA). These standards regulate HAP emissions from specific source categories
and typically affect only major sources of HAPs, however some affect minor sources of HAPs.
Part 63 regulations are frequently called Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT)
standards. Major HAP sources have the PTE 10 tpy or more of any single HAP or 25 tpy or more of
all combined HAP emissions. At the Heber facility, potential emissions of individual HAPs will be
less than 10 tpy and combined HAP emissions will be less than 25 tpy. A review of all potential
NESHAPS concluded that subpart ZZZZ is applicable to Heber.
All currently operational engines with the exception of the engines deemed R&D by the
manufacturer are subject to Subpart ZZZZ as they were constructed prior to June 12, 2006 or
meet the requirements by complying with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ. All onsite engines meet
any ZZZZ requirements by complying with 40 CFR 60, Subpart JJJJ requirements as stated in
section 40 CFR 63.6590(c) All engines have been retrofitted with oxidation catalysts.
The R&D engines have been deemed to be exempt from Subpart ZZZZ as they meet the
definition of a test stand/cell. Documentation from UDAQ indicating as such is provided in
Appendix H.

NEW SOURCE REVIEW (NSR) REQUIREMENTS
Wasatch County is designated as an attainment area for all criteria pollutants.
The prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) regulations codified in 40 CFR Part 52 could
potentially apply to the proposed facility. The PSD rule applies to: (1) a new major source that
has the potential to emit 100 tons per year or more for any criteria pollutant for a facility that is
one of the 28 industrial source categories listed in 40 CFR § 52.21(b)(1)(i)(a); or (2) a new major
source that has the potential to emit 250 tons per year or more if the facility is not on the list of
industrial source categories; or (3) a modification to an existing major source that results in a net
emission increase greater than a PSD significant emission rate as specified in 40 CFR § 52.21
(b)(23)(i); or (4) a modification to an existing minor source that is major in itself. The proposed
permitting action does not trigger any PSD actions.
NEW SOURCES PERFORMANCE STANDARDS (NSPS)
New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) in 40 CFR Part 60 are applicable to new, modified, or
reconstructed stationary sources that meet or exceed specified applicability thresholds. 40 CFR
Part 60, Subpart JJJJ (Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion
Engines) is applicable to Heber due to the Caterpillar G3516DSL (#5), G3516H (#11), G3520H
(#12), G3520DSL (#13) engines as well as the proposed new Caterpillar G3520H (#14).
Engines #1, 2, 4, 5, 7,8, 11-13 and the new G3520H engine are natural gas fired and applicable
to Subpart JJJJ. Heber will comply with all applicable requirements of the subpart.
ACID RAIN REQUIREMENTS
The acid rain requirements codified in 40 CFR Parts 72-78 apply only to utilities and other facilities
that combust fossil fuel and generate electricity for wholesale or retail sale. The Title IV Acid Rain
Program is for sources that use coal as a source of combustion and sources that produce over
25 MW of power. 40 CFR Part 72, Subpart 7, of the Acid Rain Program outlines exemption criteria
for new sources. A unit with a name plate of 25 MW or less, does not burn any coal or coal-
derived fuels and burns gaseous fuel with a sulfur content less than 0.05 percent. The largest unit
on site is 3.5 MW. All units burn exclusively low-sulfur natural gas or diesel (R&D units).
RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS FOR CHEMICAL ACCIDENTAL
RELEASE PREVENTION
The facility is not subject to the Chemical Accidental Release Prevention Program and will not
be required to develop a Risk Management Plan (RMP). Facilities that produce, process, store,
or use any regulated toxic or flammable substance in excess of the thresholds listed in 40 CFR
Part 68 must develop an RMP. The facility does not store any regulated toxic or flammable
substances in excess of the applicable thresholds. An RMP is not necessary for this facility.

3.0 EMISSIONS SUMMARY
EMISSION CALCULATIONS
Emissions from all engines are calculated based on engines performance test results,
manufacturer specifications and AP-42 emission factors. All performance test data was
established in 2017-2022 for each engine excluding the R&D engines. The test results were used
to establish emission estimates for CO and NOx only. The test values were then increased to
establish the proposed hourly rates to add a level of conservatism and safety factor during
future testing.
Two of the R&D bays operate using natural gas and the third on diesel. The R&D bays can rotate
numerous units in and out throughout the year. The diesel unit includes a D-NOx system for
controls which produce lower emission NOx rates than the natural gas units. All natural gas units
are configured with an oxidation catalyst. To ensure conservatism regarding potential NOx
emissions, an aggregated total of 8,000 hr/yr were assumed for the natural gas and 5,000 hr/yr
for the diesel units in the analysis. The emissions associated with each engine are the worst case
potential based on representative engine kW (mostly consistent with previous AO with a few
minor updates) and source tests.
All other pollutants (PM10, SO2, VOC and HAPs) estimates were derived using manufacturer
specifications, AP-42, Section 3.2 and 3.4 for natural gas-fired and diesel-fired engines,
respectively.
The comparison of current (2022 AO) permitted emissions to projected PTE emissions from all
engines is given in Table 4. The primary changes are the inclusion of the new CAT G3520H engine
#14, the addition of SCR control to engines and #11-13 and modification to hourly NOx/CO rates
for future testing and annual hours of operations.

5.0 AIR POLLUTION CONTROL EQUIPMENT INFORMATION
Natural Gas-fired Generators
The UDAQ currently has established the general BACT guidelines for NOx emissions from internal
combustions engines to be ≤1.0 g/hp-hr or compliant with 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart JJJJ Table 1
standards for non-emergency SI units. The engines covered in this NOI are below this emissions
level due to the SCR technology associated with the Caterpillar engines. These engines will
meet the BACT requirement for NOx without additional pollution control devices being installed.
Additionally, the BACT Clearinghouse was evaluated. Several determinations were evaluated
for Process Code 17.130 or natural gas internal combustion engines with greater than 600 hp.
The State of Michigan issued a recent determination for a non-emergency unit on May 22, 2019,
to Michigan State University. The NOx BACT was set to 0.5 g/hp-hr. Other determinations in
California (2017 Gold Coast Packaging) and Kansas (2016 Mid-Kansas Electric Company) issued
limits of 5.0 ppmv and 2.13 lb/hr, respectively. Lastly, a determination in 2013 for the South Texas
Electric Cooperative issued a NOx limit of 0.084 g/hp-hr. As illustrated in the emission calculations
(Appendix C), Heber is proposing an emission factor of less than all of the above at 0.077 g/hp-hr
(safety factor added to reach proposed hourly limit of 0.54 lb/hr) for the three engines adding
an SCR(existing #12 and 13 and the proposed new #14). Therefore, the proposed limit meets
BACT for NOx.
Subpart JJJJ limits CO and VOC to 2.0 and 0.7 g/hp-hr, respectively. The determinations above
also limited CO and VOC to the following:
• Michigan State: CO 0.3 g/hp-hr; VOC 11 lb/hr
• Gold Coast Packaging: CO 54 ppmv; VOC 25 ppmv
• Mid-Kansas Electric Company: CO 3.86 lb/hr; VOC 5.82 lb/hr
• South Texas Electric Coop: CO 0.3 g/hp-hr; VOC 0.3 g/hp-hr
The three engines adding the SCR will meet all of the previous BACT determinations and Subpart
JJJJ standards. The proposed limit amongst the three is a maximum of 0.143 g/hp-hr for CO
(safety factor added to reach proposed hourly limit of 1.0 lb/hr) and 0.0525 g/hp-hr for VOC. In
addition to good combustion techniques, and the three installed SCRs, OCs are currently
installed on all units. The OC/SCRs will reduce the CO and formaldehyde emissions by 93% and
85% (75% for engine #12). VOCs will be reduced by 50%. Manufacturer specifications regarding
the OC/SCR control is available in Appendix F.

1. Each engine (1,2,4,7,8) has an oxidation catalyst installed and each has a VOC and HAPs control efficiency of 50%. The total lb/hr and t/yr calculation is multiplied by 50% to
account for the control device.
2. 3516H and 3520H have a control efficiency of VOCs and HAPs of 50%.
3. The R&D engines are assumed to have 50% control of VOC and HAPs.
4. 3520DSL has a site specific VOC emission rate of 0.29 g/kw-hr, Formaldehyde of 0.32 g/kw-hr; VOC and all HAPs except HCOH (see footnote 6) assume 50% control from OC.
5. Engine 5 has an oxycat with 50% control efficiency for VOC/HAPs; Also the VOC emission rate is derived from the CAT spec sheet in g/hp-hr
6. Engines 12-14 are now equipped with an SCR and OC that controls VOCs at 50% and formaldehyde at 75-85%.

Notice of Intent 1.1
1.0 PURPOSE
This air quality modeling report documents the methodology used to prepare an air quality
analysis in support of a Utah Division of Air Quality (UDAQ) Notice of Intent (NOI) application for
a modification to their current AO. The facility will now consist of two Caterpillar G3516C LE lean-
burn engines (1&2), three Caterpillar G3520C LE engines (4,7,8), one Caterpillar G3516 engine
(5), one Caterpillar G3516H engine (11), one G3520H engine (12), one Caterpillar 3520DSL (13),
and research & development engines. A new G2520H (14) engine generator is proposed to be
added. Per previous interaction with UDAQ’s modeling personnel request, 1-hr NO2 analysis was
performed and outlined below. Additionally, new buildings and are added to the property.
All pertinent, updated modeling-related files are provided in electronic format. This includes
AERMAP terrain information, BPIP downwash files, NED data and meteorological data.
1.1 PROCESS DESCRIPTION
Heber City Light and Power consist of a number of natural gas operating fleet engines and a
handful of research and development (R&D) units. The R&D engines are also natural gas-fired,
and one is a diesel unit. The facility consists of two existing plant buildings (#2 and #3) and
adjacent buildings. Plant #1 will be removed but included in the model as it is unclear when that
demolition with occur. To the north of the property, a new office building will be added.
Adjacent to the office building will be new bays, one of which will house the R&D units.
Engines #1, 2 and 4 will be moved from Plant #1. Engine #2 will be moved to Plant #2. Engines
#1 and #4 are moved to Plant #3. Plant #2 will now house Engines: #2, 5, 7 and 8. Plant #3 will
house Engines #1, 4, 11-14. The R&D units will be housed in the new “Generator Room” to the
north. For details, refer to Appendix B of the Notice of Intent.

2.0 MODEL DESCRIPTION/JUSTIFICATION
AERMOD is one of the most frequently used regulatory dispersion models in the United States
since it replaced ISCST3. Based on EPA guidance, AERMOD (version 22112) is the most
appropriate of the EPA-approved models, given the site’s physical characteristics and the
facility emission sources. AERMOD was applied as recommended in EPA’s Guideline on Air
Quality Models and consistent with guidance in UDAQ’s Modeling Guidelines. The BPIP Prime
building downwash algorithm was applied for the facility, including all adjacent buildings.
Terrain data were processed consistent with the approved model protocol and EPA guidance
for AERMAP. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Viewer was used to obtain
appropriate National Elevation Dataset (NED) data to establish proper elevations. Five years of
meteorological data from the Spanish Fork Airport (2004-2008) was provided by UDAQ for this
analysis. In general, the AERMOD model application uses model source data consistent with the
permit emission inventory. The model receptor network and model domain remain consistent
with past modeling analyses for the Heber City Light & Power facility.

3.0 EMISSION AND SOURCE DATA
Emission rates from the generators are based on Heber Light & Power test data with levels of
safety added and provided below in Table 1. In correspondence with UDAQ modeling staff, only
1-hr NO2 compliance was modeled, thus only those rates are provided.
Emission rate calculations are based on catalyst output as stated by Safety Power and to ensure
conservatism and consistency with recent Utah Division of Air Quality (UDAQ), emission
calculations assume seven minutes of uncontrolled startup emissions (specifically the SCR) and
53 controlled minutes for each hour of operation. While it is extremely unlikely that the SCR and
other equipment would startup and shutdown frequently, this approach is very conservative
regarding the potential hourly emissions.
The uncontrolled NOx emission rate of 0.94 g/hp-hr was applied for seven minutes or 11.67% of
an hour. The remaining 53 minutes (88.33%) applied 0.07 g/hp-hr. This equates to a total hourly
rate of 0.1715 g/hp-hr. Based on the maximum brake horsepower of 3,161, the lb/hr applied to
the model is 1.20 lb/hr. This rate was applied for engines #12-14 for each hour of the year.

4.0 RECEPTOR NETWORK
The facility is located in a rural area in Heber City, Utah within Wasatch County. Consistent with
UDAQ Air Dispersion Modeling Guidance, the ambient air boundary used in this analysis is the
leased property boundary, which also serves as the Public Access Boundary (PAB). Heber owns
the area north of W 300 S and can control access along W 300 S west of South 6th West.
Receptors along the PAB were spaced at 25 meter increments. The PAB represents the limit of
access by the public to the project site. The receptor grid was established as follows:
• Receptors spaced at 25 meters along the PAB;
• Receptors spaced at 25 meters for the first 100 meters past the PAB;
• Receptors spaced at a density of one per 50 meters out to 225 meters away from the
PAB;
• Receptors spaced at 100 meters from the PAB out to 400 meters;
• Receptors spaced at 250 meters from the PAB out to 850 meters;
• Receptors spaced at 500 meters from the PAB out to 2.1 kilometers past the PAB; and
The receptor network ensures that the analysis meets or exceeds EPA receptor network
requirements and captures the maximum impact from the facility.
5.0 ELEVATION DATA
All source base and receptor elevations were calculated from USGS NED data obtained via the
National Map Viewer website using the Bee-Line BEEST preprocessing system. A 1/3 arc second
NED file was used in the analysis input and output files from AERMAP and will be included
submitted with the report.

6.0 METEOROLOGICAL DATA
Preprocessed AERMOD-ready meteorological files were obtained via the UDAQ Guideline
website 1. The data files cover the years 2004 through 2008 from the Spanish Fork Airport. The
hourly average data is from the National Weather Service (NWS) Automated Surface Observing
System (ASOS). The data presented by UDAQ is model-ready and was used without alteration or
processing. Because these data originated from UDAQ, it will not be included as part of this
submittal.

7.0 LAND USE CLASSIFICATION
AERMOD includes rural and urban algorithm options. These options affect the wind speed
profile, dispersion rates, and mixing-height formula used in calculating ground-level pollutant
concentrations. A protocol was developed by USEPA to classify an area as either rural or urban
for dispersion modeling purposes. The classification is based on average heat flux, land use, or
population density within a three-km radius from the plant site. Of these techniques, the USEPA
has specified that land use is the most definitive criterion (USEPA, 1987). The urban/rural
classification scheme based on land use is as follows:
The land use within the total area, A0, circumscribed by a 3-km circle about the source, is
classified using the meteorological land use typing scheme proposed by Auer (1978).
The classification scheme requires that more than 50% of the area, A0, be from the
following land use types in order to be considered urban for dispersion modeling
purposes: heavy industrial (I1); light-moderate industrial (I2); commercial (C1); single-
family compact residential (R2); and multi-family compact residential (R3). Otherwise, the
use of rural dispersion coefficients is appropriate.
The Heber facility is located in a rural area, at Heber City, Utah. Although the immediate vicinity
of the site is industrial and commercial, site and map reconnaissance showed that the area A0
within a 3-km circle of the source is below the 50% urban land use criteria necessary for use of
urban dispersion coefficients. Rural dispersion coefficients were, therefore, used in the air quality
dispersion modeling.

8.0 BACKGROUND CONCENTRATIONS
NO2
Monthly background values were obtained via the EPA Air Quality Monitors website 2. Numerous
sites were evaluated, but Price was ultimately selected from November 2017 through October
2020. Price was selected because the topography and elevation are very similar (Heber City 5,604’
vs Price 5,627’). Additionally, Wasatch and Carbon County are both in attainment. Lastly, the other
sites were much too close to the I-15 corridor and overestimating of NO2 relative to what is most
likely in Heber City. These values are consistent with the most recent modeling submittal to UDAQ
(January 8, 2021). The average three-year values used are as follows for the PVMRM Tier 3 analysis
was :
Table 8-1 Monthly Background Values
Month O3 (ppm) NO2 (ppb)
January 0.047 22.17
February 0.054 11.73
March 0.056 11.50
April 0.062 9.17
May 0.065 6.13
June 0.070 10.47
July 0.073 11.60
August 0.072 10.23
September 0.066 10.03
October 0.057 9.97
November 0.052 12.30
December 0.048 18.90
NO2 In-Stack Ratio
Lastly, a representative NO2/NOx in-stack ratio of 0.18 for each natural gas engine was applied.
This an average of the approximate maximum between the Caterpillar G3516 and G3520
engines as referenced in the EPA In-stack Ratio database 3. The R&D Diesel ratio was set to 0.05.
These values are consistent with the January 8, 2021, modeling that was previously accepted by
UDAQ. This number is an average value of three Caterpillar G3520 engines previously tested by
the Oklahoma DEQ as stated in the EPA in-stack database.

9.0 RESULTS
The following sections outline the methods used to complete an ambient air impact analysis as a
result of the proposed Heber City project.
9.1 APPLICABLE LIMITS
The air quality impact limits applicable to this analysis are the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS). NO2 uses the design value that is the 98th percentile averaged over three
years. That equates to a design value that is the 8th high over a five year period.
9.2 IMPACT
The tables shown below demonstrate that there is no exceedance of the 1-hr NO2 NAAQS
standards due to the proposed operation of the facility.
