MEMORANDUM
TO: FILE – INTREPID POTASH WENDOVER, LLC – Wendover Potash Plant
THROUGH: Chad Gilgen, Minor Source Compliance Section Manager
FROM: Connor Kijowski, Environmental Scientist
DATE: January 18, 2024
SUBJECT: FULL COMPLIANCE EVALUATION, Minor, Tooele County
INSPECTION DATE: December 6, 2023
SOURCE LOCATION: Exit 4, Interstate 80 (the Blair exit) and the Frontage Road
Wendover, UT 84083
SOURCE CONTACTS: Todd Stubbs, Division Engineer
435-259-1282; todd.stubbs@intrepidpotash.com
OPERATING STATUS: Operating normally at time of inspection.
PROCESS DESCRIPTION: Potash harvesting plant. Intrepid Potash collects brine from
shallow and deep aquifers in open ditches throughout the 88,000
acres of land. The collected brine is pumped into solar
evaporation ponds to reduce the water content and precipitate
undesirable salt. Over 5 billion gallons of brine is pumped into
the solar ponds each year. As the brine becomes saturated with
potash, it is transferred through a series of smaller evaporation
ponds and eventually into harvest ponds. When the ripened brine
finally reaches the harvest ponds, the potash ore (a combination
of salt and potash) is precipitated out on the pond floor. The
remaining brine in the harvest ponds is removed, and the potash
ore is harvested and transported to the mill for processing. The
mill separates the potash from the salts by use of the Flotation
method. The material is dried, compacted, and screened into
premium grades of potash. Next, the potash (standard and
granular) is conveyed and stored in a bulk storage warehouse
before being loaded into railcars or trucks for shipment.
The Wendover facility annually produces approximately 60,000
to 70,000 tons of potash and 300,000 tons of magnesium
chloride brine. Potash from the facility is used in fertilizer and in
oil field drillings. Magnesium chloride brine is used for
anti-icing, chemical intermediates, and specialty chemicals.
Magnesium chloride is stored in ditches and lined ponds and
does not pass through the processing plant.

II.B.5.b The owner/operator shall only use gasoline fuel in the 12 gasoline engines. [40 CFR 63 Subpart
ZZZZ]
Status: In Compliance. The source stated that they use only gasoline in the gasoline
engines.
II.B.5.c The owner/operator shall only use diesel fuel (fuel oil #1, #2, or diesel fuel additives) in the 21
diesel engines. All diesel burned shall meet the definition of ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD), and
contain no more than 15 ppm sulfur. [40 CFR 60 Subpart IIII, 40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ]
II.B.5.c.1 To demonstrate compliance with the fuel oil requirements, the owner/operator shall keep and
maintain fuel purchase invoices. The fuel purchase invoices shall indicate that the diesel fuel
meets the ULSD requirements or the owner/operator shall obtain certification of the sulfur
content from the fuel supplier. [R307-401-8]
Status: In Compliance. The source uses only ULSD as a fuel in the diesel engines. A
Certificate of Analysis provided indicates the sulfur content to be 6.9 ppm, below the
15-ppm sulfur limit. See attached HF Sinclair Certificate of Analysis and RelaDyne diesel
invoice.
II.B.6 Haul Road Requirements
II.B.6.a The owner/operator shall not allow visible emissions from haul roads and fugitive dust sources
on site to exceed 20 percent opacity. [R307-205]
9
II.B.6.a.1 Visible emission determinations shall use procedures similar to Method 9. The normal
requirement for observations to be made at 15-second intervals over a six-minute period,
however, shall not apply. Visible emissions shall be measured at the densest point of the plume
but at a point not less than 1/2 vehicle length behind the vehicle and not less than 1/2 the height
of the vehicle. [R307-401-8]
Status: Not Observed. The area was extremely foggy making it extremely difficult to view
visible emissions. The haul roads and operational areas have high magnesium chloride and
salt content due to the nature of the operation and excessive moisture was observed on the
haul roads from recent precipitation making visible emissions highly unlikely. Refer to the
VEO Form in the attachments for more details.
II.B.6.b The owner/operator shall use water application or other control options contained in R307-205 to
minimize emissions from fugitive dust and fugitive emissions sources, including haul roads,
storage piles, and disturbed areas. Controls shall be applied to ensure the opacity limits in this
AO are not exceeded. [R307-205, R307-401-8]
II.B.6.b.1 The owner/operator shall keep and maintain records of water application for all periods that the
source is in operation. Records of water application shall include:
A. Date
B. Time of day that water was applied or sweeping occurred
C. Quantity of water applied. [R307-401-8]
Status: Not Applicable. Due to the nature of the site, the haul roads, storage piles, and
disturbed areas contain a high content of magnesium chloride and salt, which mitigates the
need for consistent watering. However, the source stated that they rent a water truck
during the summer to water as needed and maintain watering records if operational.
II.B.7 Engine Requirements
II.B.7.a The owner/operator shall not operate the 21 diesel engines for more than 12,000 hours combined
per rolling 12-month period. [R307-401-8]
II.B.7.a.1 The owner/operator shall calculate a new 12-month total by the 20th day of each month using
data from the previous 12 months. Records shall be kept for all periods when the plant is in
operation. Records documenting usage shall be kept in an operations log. [R307-401-8]
Status: In Compliance. From a previous inspection (DAQC-267-20), the source calculates
the engine hours under the following method:
“They typically harvest from two or more ponds at a time, so there are often more than 31
‘Harvesting Days’ in a month.
At the end of harvesting each pond, the elevator engines are shut off and the operators
harvest the ramp (made from potash) that they had driven on to access the rest of the pond.
This typically takes 5 days, so five days for each pond completed in a month are deducted
from the gross "Harvesting Days."
The operators said the engines operate about 90% of the time while harvesting. The
remaining 10% is for startup, shutdown, refueling, maintenance, etc.
Using these data and typical operating routines, I calculate the monthly hourly engine
usage using this formula:
Monthly usage = [ (Harvesting Days) - (5 x Ponds Completed) ] x 24 hours x 90%”
The rolling 12-month total for November 2022 - October 2023, the source operated the
engines for 6,329 hours. See attached engine hour totals.
10
