MEMORANDUM
TO: FILE – HOLLIDAY CONSTRUCTION INCORPORATED – Bluff Pit
THROUGH: Chad Gilgen, Minor Source Compliance Section Manager
FROM: Daniel Riddle, Environmental Scientist
DATE: October 31, 2023
SUBJECT: FULL COMPLIANCE EVALUATION, Minor, San Juan County
INSPECTION DATE: June 5, 2023
SOURCE LOCATION/ 4 miles west of Bluff at the intersection of U.S. Routes 163 and
DIRECTIONS: 191, San Juan County, Utah

OPERATING STATUS: Not operating at the time of inspection. Work is done at this site
infrequently.
PROCESS DESCRIPTION: Holliday Construction owns an aggregate processing pit near
Bluff. Raw aggregate material mined from the walls of the
quarry is fed into the crusher/screening circuit where it is
separated according to size class. Material that is too large to
pass through the screen is crushed in a crusher and re-routed
through the screens. Separated aggregate is conveyed to various
storage piles by stacking conveyors. A water truck is used to
control dust in the yard and operational areas, and water sprays
are used to control dust in the crusher/screening circuit. The
aggregate operation is powered by a 400 kW diesel generator
with an Oxy Catalyst. A wash plant is also present onsite. The
wash plant and water pump were powered by a 180 kW diesel
generator, which is no longer operational.

RE: Compliance Advisory DAQC-879-23
Chad Gilgeh
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Chad, l'm writing this letter to let you know about the stack testing on the 400 KW generator engine. We
have contacted Alliance to reschedule stack test, and the soonest availability is November L3,2023.|f
anything opens up before that date they will let us know as soon as possible. I will call Shamit and let
him know to give the 30 day protocol. The crusher broke down and we could not get anyone down to
see what the matter was to get it fixed, all mechanics were booked out finally got one to come they had
to get parts for it and could not get the parts and finally were able to find the part. So it looks like the
crusher is running and will be able to get that test down.
Please let me know if there is anything else I need to do.
Sincerely,
REVIH,WED
