MEMORANDUM
TO: FILE – SALT LAKE COMMUNITY COLLEGE – South City Campus
THROUGH: Chad Gilgen, Minor Source Compliance Section Manager
FROM: Daniel Riddle, Environmental Scientist
DATE: January 25, 2024
SUBJECT: FULL COMPLIANCE EVALUATION, Minor, Salt Lake County
INSPECTION DATE: December 14, 2023
SOURCE LOCATION: 1575 South State Street
Salt Lake City, UT 84115
DIRECTIONS: Boiler room is in southeast corner of campus. 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.

Jake,
I inspected 11751 - SLCC south campus last Thursday and I saw that their boilers were replaced in 2021, but their AO is from 2020. 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?
Best,
Daniel

Jake - any updates on the progress of this new 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.

Hi Daniel,
Hope the holidays were great for you! Sorry for not responding sooner.
The AA is currently in peer review so it should be issued soon. I have the 12279 Jordan Campus also moving forward with it, so they will be issued at
the same time.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
