Dear Mr. Gammell:

Re: Utah Associated Municipal Power System (Nebo Power Plant) – Pretest Protocol for
Carbon Monoxide (CO), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), and Oxygen (O2) Relative Accuracy
Test – Utah County

The Utah Division of Air Quality (DAQ) reviewed Nebo Power Plant’s pretest protocol submitted
April 12, 2024. The proposed test shall be performed under the following conditions:

Nebo Power Plant’s monitoring system to be certified:

Point
Source Channel Manufacturer Model # Monitor SN Low
Range
High
Range
HSRG
CO THERMO 48I - AGPCA 1501663829 100 1000
NOx THERMO 42ILS - ANSSPCA 1501663828 100 200
O2 THERMO 48I - AGPCA 1501663829 25

Montrose Air Quality Services, LLC will conduct a relative accuracy/performance specification
test on Nebo Power Plant’s continuous monitoring system.

Relative accuracy must be determined in the units of the emission standard or equivalent units of
the emission standard, i.e., tons/year shall be tested in pounds/hour.

The DAQ understands that testing will be conducted as follows as follows:

Test Date Point Source Parameter EPA Reference Method
May 29, 2024 HSRG
CO – ppmvdc
NOx – ppmvdc
O2 - %vd
Method 3A, 7E, 10, and 19

• Reference Method 3A - Determination of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
Concentrations in Emissions from Stationary Point Sources – (Instrumental
Analyzer Procedure) as outlined in 40 CFR 60 Appendix A.

• Reference Method 7E - Determination of Nitrogen Oxide Emissions from
Stationary Point Sources - (Instrumental Analyzer Procedure) as outlined in 40
CFR 60 Appendix A.

• Reference Method 10 - Determination of Carbon Monoxide Emissions from
Stationary Point Sources – (NDIR Instrumental Procedure) as outlined in 40 CFR
60 Appendix A.

• Reference Method 19 - Determination of Sulfur Dioxide Removal Efficiency and
Particulate Matter, Sulfur Dioxide, and Nitrogen Oxides Emission Rates as
outlined in 40 CFR 60 Appendix A.

• Deviations - The Director or the representative of the Director must be notified of
and approve deviations of the Reference Method test. Any deviation from these
conditions without approval from the DAQ may constitute rejection of these tests.

Acceptance of a protocol does not relieve the owner/operator and the testing
contractor from strict adherence to all applicable EPA methods, DAQ policies,
Utah Air Quality Rules (UAQR), and methods approved by the Director. Any
deviation from EPA methods, DAQ policies, UAQR, and methods approved by the
Director must be addressed separately and express written consent given prior to
commencement of testing.

• Field data (Point Source emission data and test data) shall be turned over to the
DAQ in a timely manner for review.

• The Director will determine the relative accuracy of each monitoring system based
on Point Source continuous emission monitoring data and test data acquired by the
staff member of the DAQ during the test.

• All test reports must be submitted to the Director not later than 60 days after
completion of the test.

• The test report shall include all raw calibration data, raw emission data with date,
time stamps.

Relative accuracy test reports must contain:

1. Point source continuous monitor, channel, manufacturer, and serial number,

2. Raw stack test data and continuous monitor data with date and time stamps.

DAQC-363-24
Page 3

3. Emission data reported in concentration (ppm or %) and units in the applicable
emission limit.

The DAQ requires that all test reports include a statement signed by a responsible official
certifying that:

1. Testing was conducted while the Point Source was operating at the rate and/or
conditions specified in the applicable approval order, operating permit, or federal
regulation.

2. During testing, the Point Source combusted fuels, used raw materials, and
maintained process conditions representative of normal operations, and operated
under such other relevant conditions specified by the Director.

3. Based on information and belief formed after reasonable inquiry, the statements
and information contained in the report are true, accurate, and complete.

Should you have any questions concerning this matter, contact me at [phone] or by email
at [e-mail].

Sincerely,

Rob Leishman, Environmental Scientist
