Utah Department of Air Quality:
Hurricane City Power Department received a revised Approval Order (AO) modification (DAQE-AN124160014-
22) on October 6, 2022, to add a new natural gas-fired generator engine set and increase the exhaust stack
heights from 39 feet to 50 feet to comply with modeling requirements produced by Trinity Consulting.
Due to budgetary constraints experienced by Hurricane City Power, as of the February 7, 2024, none of the
improvements to the Hurricane City Power plant located at 526 West 600 North in Hurricane, UT that were
specified in DAQE-AN124160014-22 have been performed.
Hurricane City Administration and Power Department personnel are currently reevaluating adding the
generator listed in the AO and its overall benefit to the needs of system, if a larger generation resource is
needed, or both, to provide for the future growth of our power system.
Hurricane City Power had planned to increase the stack height from 39 feet to 50 feet as part of the contract
to install the new generator, but because of the uncertainty of the timeline for the new generator unit we plan
on separating the Stack Height project from the New Generator project. We will be including the cost of the
Stack Height project in our 2024-25 fiscal year budget, to be completed in that same budget year.
We will provide an update regarding our progress on these projects to the Utah Department of Air Quality
before August 6, 2025.
Sincerely,
Jared Ross

Substation and Generation Superintendent

Hello Jared,
It was good to talk with you this morning. Per our discussion, Hurricane City Power was issued an Approval Order (AO)
modification (DAQE-AN124160014-22) on October 6, 2022, to add a new natural gas-fired generator engine set and
increase natural gas-fired engine stack heights to 50 feet above ground level. To date, neither projects have been
completed due to budget constraints. You indicated there are no plans to add this engine in the foreseeable future and
that a budget request will be made in June 2024 to increase engine stack heights.
Per AO condition I.8, please respond to this email with a letter detailing the status of each project followed by letters within
18 months of today either notifying the DAQ of project completion or providing status of ongoing construction. Please
address this letter to the NSR Section as required by AO condition I.8. I have cc:ed the NSR section manager, Alan
Humpherys, on this response so he can file the letter once received.
Thanks and please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Chad
