Check there for inspection contact. SOURCE CONTACTS: Sherie Thornton, Manager 801-957-4902 sthorn24@slcc.edu OPERATING STATUS: Operating normally at the time of inspection. PROCESS DESCRIPTION: Salt Lake Community College South City Campus has three fire tube duel fuel boilers. Boilers are fired by natural gas unless there is a curtailment of service, during which #2 fuel oil can be used as a back-up fuel. Boiler one is the primary boiler used, operating on natural gas. Boiler two is a natural gas standby boiler for high demand days. Boiler three is set to burn oil during curtailment. The boilers are used to heat water under pressure to make steam that provides heat and hot water to the buildings on campus. The boilers each have a separate exhaust stack which extends through the roof. They are equipped with monitors that control operations. No heat is supplied to any source off campus. The emergency generators are only used for maintenance, testing, and during episodes of power outage.

In the NOI status it says their application is being reviewed. According to them, this one would just be an administrative amendment since the 2 new boilers are a reduction in emissions from the old boilers. Do you have any updates on the status of their updated AO?

The source has provided me with correspondence showing the submittal of their NOI - the source sent me some emails from September 2021 saying that they had spoken with you and the Administrative amendment was in progress at that time.
