Project Description
SVWRF has requested that the thermal oxidizer methane limits and associated recordkeeping and
monitoring requirements be removed from the AO (Equipment ID II.A.3 and Conditions
II.B.2.b-II.B.2.d.1 in AO DAQE-AN130590006-23). The methane limit is not applicable to the
operations at the SVWRF Wastewater Treatment Plant and was carried over from the original 2006 AO.
The air stream that the thermal oxidizers treat does not contain methane, and that methane is not produced
as part of any SVWRF treatment process. Therefore, the methane limit conditions are not necessary.

NOTICE
A Notice of Intent for the following project submitted in accordance with R307-401-1, Utah
Administrative Code (UAC), has been received for consideration by the Director:
Company Name: South Valley Water Reclamation Facility
Location: South Valley Water Reclamation Facility - Wastewater Treatment Plant 7495
South 1300 West, West Jordan, UT
Project Description: South Valley Water Reclamation Facility (SVWRF) operates a 50 million gallon
per day wastewater treatment plant in West Jordon, Salt Lake County. SVWRF
uses various natural gas-fired boilers that provide steam and heat to the
Administration Building, Solids Processing Building, and the Headworks
Building. Two (2) diesel fired-engine generators are used exclusively as
stand-by units.
SVWRF has requested that the thermal oxidizer methane limits and associated
recordkeeping and monitoring requirements be removed from the Approval
Order (Equipment ID II.A.3 and Conditions II.B.2.b-II.B.2.d.1 in Approval Order
DAQE-AN130590006-23). The methane limit is not applicable to the operations
at the SVWRF Wastewater Treatment Plant and were carried over from the
original 2006 Approval Order. The air stream that the thermal oxidizers treat
does not contain methane, and that methane is not produced as part of any
SVWRF treatment process. Therefore, the methane limit conditions are not
necessary.
The completed engineering evaluation and air quality impact analysis showed the proposed project meets
the requirements of federal air quality regulations and the State air quality rules. The Director intends to
issue an Approval Order pending a 30-day public comment period. The project proposal, estimate of the
effect on local air quality and draft Approval Order are available for public inspection and comment at the
Utah Division of Air Quality, 195 North 1950 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116. Written comments
received by the Division at this same address on or before March 26, 2024 will be considered in making
the final decision on the approval/disapproval of the proposed project. Email comments will also be
accepted at cbodell@utah.gov. If anyone so requests to the Director in writing within 15 days of
publication of this notice, a hearing will be held in accordance with
R307-401-7, UAC.
Under Section 19-1-301.5, a person who wishes to challenge a Permit Order may only raise an issue or
argument during an adjudicatory proceeding that was raised during the public comment period and was
supported with sufficient information or documentation to enable the Director to fully consider the
substance and significance of the issue.

Project Proposal
Minor Modification to Approval Order DAQE-AN130590006-23 to Remove the Thermal
Oxidizer Methane Limit
Project Description
SVWRF has requested that the thermal oxidizer methane limits and associated recordkeeping and
monitoring requirements be removed from the AO (Equipment ID II.A.3 and Conditions II.B.2.b-
II.B.2.d.1 in AO DAQE-AN130590006-23). The methane limit is not applicable to the operations
at the SVWRF Wastewater Treatment Plant and were carried over from the original 2006 AO.
The air stream that the thermal oxidizers treat does not contain methane, and that methane is not
produced as part of any SVWRF treatment process. Therefore, the methane limit conditions are
not necessary.
EMISSION IMPACT ANALYSIS

Review of BACT for New/Modified Emission Units
1. BACT review regarding Removal of Thermal Oxidizer Methane Limit
SVWRF has requested to have the thermal oxidizer methane limit and associated recordkeeping
and monitoring requirements removed (Conditions II.B.2.b - II.B.2.d.1 in AO DAQE-
AN130590006-23). The foul air streams from an aerobic treatment process does not contain
methane; therefore, these conditions are unnecessary and are removed from the AO. There are
very small methane emissions from incomplete combustion of natural gas. Such methane
emissions were calculated using emission factor from AP-42 Chapter 1.4 during a 2023
modification. Therefore, methane and its CO2 equivalent will not change. Further, SVWRF is not
adding any new equipment. Removal of inapplicable permit requirements does not require a
BACT analysis.

PERMIT HISTORY
When issued, the approval order shall supersede (if a modification) or will be based on the
following documents:
Supersedes Approval Order DAQE-AN130590006-23 dated August 1, 2023
Is Derived From NOI dated January 30, 2024
REVIEWER COMMENTS
1.Comment regarding Removal of Thermal Oxidizer Methane Limits:
The original Approval Order for the Waste Water Treatment Plant was issued to SVWRF in 2006.
The reasoning for including a thermal oxidizer methane limit of 20 ppm in the 2006 AO was not
specified. This methane limit was automatically carried over into AO DAQE-AN130590006-23,
issued August 1, 2023. To ensure enforceability, additional monitoring and record keeping
requirements for the methane limit were added to the 2023 AO (See Conditions II.B.2.b-II.B.2.d.1).
SVWRF has requested to have the methane limit and associated conditions removed from the current
AO. SVWRF has revealed that the air streams that the thermal oxidizers treat do not contain
methane, and that methane is not produced as part of any SVWRF treatment process. Additionally,
methane emission estimates for the thermal oxidizers are based on AP-42, Section 1.4, Natural Gas
Combustion, Table 1.4-2. The estimates are not based on a 20-ppm limit.
Therefore, the current methane PTE is correct and an accurate representation of the methane
emissions from the Plant. Therefore, the CO2 Equivalent PTE is not is changing.
This project is classified as a modification because removing the 20-ppm methane limit may impact
hourly emissions.
[Last updated February 5, 2024]
2. Comment regarding Federal Subpart Applicability:
NSPS Subpart Dc
40 CFR 60 (NSPS) Subpart Dc (Standards of Performance for Small Industrial-Commercial-
Institutional Steam Generating Units) applies to each steam generating unit for which construction,
modification, or reconstruction is commenced after June 9, 1989 and that has a maximum design
heat input capacity of 100 million British thermal units per hour (MMBtu/h) or less, but greater than
or equal to 2.9 MW (10 MMBtu/h). Subpart Dc is applicable to two (2) boilers with a rating of 14.3
MMBtu/hr.
NSPS Subpart IIII
40 CFR 60 (NSPS) Subpart IIII (Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition
Internal Combustion Engines) applies to owners and operators of stationary CI ICE that commence
construction after July 11, 2005, where the stationary CI ICE is manufactured after April 1, 2006.
The production and installation date of the 2,875 HP (2,145 kW) emergency generator is circa 2000.
Therefore, NSPS Subpart IIII does not apply to this stationary CI ICE. However, the production date
of the 2,220 HP (1352 kW) generator is post April 1, 2006. Therefore, NSPS Subpart IIII applies.
MACT Subpart VVV
40 CFR 63 Subpart VVV (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Publicly
Owned Treatment Works) applies to owners/operators of publicly owned treatment works (POTW)
that includes an affected source (§ 63.1595), where the affected source is located at a Group 2
Engineer Review N130590007: South Valley Water Reclamation Facility- Wastewater Treatment Plant
February 19, 2024
Page 9
POTW which is a major source of HAP emissions, or at any Group 1 POTW regardless of whether
or not it is a major source of HAP. The SVWR Facility is a Group 2 POTW, but is not located at a
major source of HAPs emissions. Therefore, MACT Subpart VVV does not apply to the SVWR
Facility.
MACT Subpart ZZZZ
40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ (National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for
Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines) is applicable to owners/operators of
stationary RICE at a major or area sources of HAP emissions. MACT Subpart ZZZZ applies to the
SVWR Facility as the emergency engine generators are CI ICE. The emergency diesel generators
will meet Subpart ZZZZ by meeting 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart IIII as the SVWR Facility is an area
source of HAP emissions. [Last updated February 7, 2024]
3.Comment regarding Title V Applicability:
Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act (Title V) applies to the following:
1. Any major source
2. Any source subject to a standard, limitation, or other requirement under Section 111 of the Act,
Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources;
3. Any source subject to a standard or other requirement under Section 112 of the Act, Hazardous
Air Pollutants.
4. Any Title IV affected source.
This facility is not a major source and is not a Title IV source. The facility is not subject to 40 CFR
61 (NESHAP) regulations. This facility is subject to 40 CFR 60 (NSPS) Subparts A, Dc, and
IIII and 40 CFR 63 (MACT) Subparts A and ZZZZ. NSPS Subpart IIII and MACT Subpart ZZZZ
each specifically exempt sources from the obligation to obtain a Title V permit, if the sources are not
otherwise required for a Title V permit. NSPS Subpart Dc does not specifically exempt the facility
from the obligation to obtain a Title V permit. However, the facility is only subject to record-keeping
requirements under NSPS Subpart Dc, and is not subject to a standard or limitation. Therefore, this
facility is not a Title V source. [Last updated February 7, 2024]

exhaust gas of each thermal oxidizer at all times. [R307-401-8]
II.B.2.b.1 The owner/operator shall record each thermal oxidizer exhaust gas methane
concentration at least per operating day while each thermal oxidizer is operating.
[R307-401-8]
II.B.2.b.2 The owner/operator shall maintain the following records of the exhaust gas
methane concentration for each thermal oxidizer:
A. Unit identification;
B. Daily exhaust gas methane concentration
C. Date of reading.
[R307-401-8]
II.B.2.c The owner/operator shall monitor the methane concentration in the thermal
oxidizer exhaust gas with equipment located such that an inspector/operator can
safely read the output at any time. [R307-401-8]
II.B.2.d At least once every 12 months, the owner/operator shall calibrate the methane
monitoring equipment in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions or
replace the methane monitoring equipment. [R307-401-8]
II.B.2.d.1 The owner/operator shall maintain records of the methane monitoring equipment
calibrations and replacements. [R307-401-8]
The South Valley Water Reclamation Facility (SVWRF) is an aerobic activated sludge treatment
facility that utilizes ambient air to oxygenate mixed liquor inside our secondary treatment basins.
Wasted biomass is then dewatered and a portion of the dewatered biomass is dried in the
Thermal Drying facility. The Thermal Drying Facility is where the remaining moisture in the
dewatered biomass is evaporated away using heat generated from the Steam Generators covered
in this AO. The evaporated air is moisture laden and odorous and hence called foul air. The foul
air stream is removed from the drying equipment and blown to the Thermal Oxidizers where it is
burned to reduce the concentrations of H2S and mercaptans (sulphur containing compounds)
which are the source of odors. This oxidation process does not produce methane. In fact, the
SVWRF does not produce methane as a part of our treatment processes.
The SVWRF’s emissions from the thermal oxidizers have not changed, nor will they change.
With that said, this request for administrative amendment is being done to correct what we
believe was an unnecessary requirement from the original AO issued in 2006 and most recently
revised in 2023 with respect to a methane as pointed shown herein.
SVWRF will be paying the $500 fee for this request online.Am
Sincerely,
Taigon Worthen, P.E.
