OPERATING STATUS: Unit #2 operating
PROCESS DESCRIPTION: Intermountain Power Service Corporation (IPP) operates the
Intermountain Generating Station (IGS) coal fired steam-electric
plant, consisting of two 450 MW units and ancillary facilities
located near Delta in Millard County.
Bituminous, sub-bituminous coals, and synfuel are used. The
fireball in the boiler heats water to steam. The steam is used to
turn turbines. The turbines are connected to an electric generator
that converts the energy to electricity. Gases from the coal
combustion exit the boiler to the baghouse for particulate
removal, go through the scrubber for SO2 removal, then exit the
stack. Steam is recycled and condensed to water as part of each
cycle.

II.B.2.b.1 Monitoring:
(a) Opacity shall be used as a primary indicator and scrubber SO2 removal rate shall be used as a
secondary indicator to provide a reasonable assurance of compliance with the PM10 emission
limitation as specified below:
(1) Primary Indicator - Opacity
(i) Measurement Approach: Opacity shall be determined by using a COM located in the
ductwork just downstream of the baghouse and upstream of the SO2 scrubber.
(ii) Indicator Range: An excursion is defined as hourly block average opacity measurements in
excess of 45% as measured by a COM, except for periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction.
Excursions trigger an inspection and review of baghouse performance as indicated by other
parameters (to confirm if opacity is valid and to determine baghouse operating deficiencies),
corrective action, and a reporting requirement. If hourly block average opacity is greater than
10% but less than 45% as measured by a COM, except for periods of startup, shutdown,
maintenance/planned outage or malfunction, the scrubber SO2 removal rate, as a secondary
indicator to show a reasonable assurance of compliance with the PM10 emission limitation, shall
be monitored simultaneously as specified in (A)(2) of this monitoring condition. Condition
II.B.2.b.1(a)(1)(ii) of this permit does not constitute a waiver, nor a shield against enforcement, of
condition II.B.2.e of this permit condition.
(iii) Performance Criteria:
(aa) Data Representativeness: Measurements made by a COM shall provide a direct indicator of
baghouse performance. Each COM shall be installed and operated in accordance with 40 CFR
60.47a, Emission Monitoring (subparagraphs (a), (e), (f), and (i), and 60.13, Monitoring
Requirements (subparagraphs (e) and (h), and meeting the quality assurance requirements
outlined at 40 CFR 60.13 (d) and (e); 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix B, Performance Specification 1,
and R307-170.
(bb) QA/QC Practices and Criteria: Each COM shall be operated, calibrated, and maintained to
meet 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, Performance Specification 1.
(cc) Monitoring Frequency: Opacity shall be monitored continuously and a data point recorded
every 10 seconds.
(dd) Data Collection Procedure: Opacity data shall be recorded and stored electronically.
(ee) Averaging Period: Use the 10-second opacity data to calculate 6-minute averages and the 6-
minute averages to calculate the hourly block average opacity.
(2) Secondary Indicator - Scrubber SO2 removal rate
(i) Measurement Approach: SO2 removal rate is measured directly by CEM, which provide the
single best indicator of wet scrubber performance.
(ii) Indicator Range: An excursion is defined as hourly block average opacity measurements in
excess of 10% as measured by a COM, except for periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction,
and SO2 removal rate simultaneously below 90%, based upon a 24 hour rolling average.
Excursions trigger an inspection and review of baghouse and scrubber performance as indicated
by other parameters (to confirm if opacity is valid and to determine baghouse and scrubber
operating deficiencies), corrective action, and a reporting requirement.
23
(iii) Performance Criteria:
(aa) Data Representativeness: Measurements are made by a CEM located before and after the wet
flue gas desulfurization scrubber, providing a direct indicator of scrubber performance. Each
CEM shall be installed, calibrated, and maintained as required by the applicable performance
specification.
(bb) QA/QC Practices and Criteria: Each CEM shall be operated, calibrated, and maintained to
meet 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, Performance Specification 2.
(cc) Monitoring Frequency: SO2 removal rate shall be measured every 15 minutes whenever the
hourly block average opacity measured by COM exceeds 10%.
(dd) Data Collection Procedure: SO2 removal data shall be recorded and stored electronically.
(ee) Averaging Period: Use the 15-minute data to calculate hourly averages and the hourly
averages to calculate a 24-hour rolling average. A 24-hour average SO2 removal rate shall be
calculated for each 24-hour period during which the hourly block average opacity measured by
COM exceeds 10%.
(b) Stack testing shall be performed as specified below:
(1) Frequency. PM10 emissions shall be tested annually. The source may also be tested at any
time if directed by the Director.
(2) Notification. At least 30 days before the test, the source shall notify the Director of the date,
time, and place of testing and provide a copy of the test protocol. The source shall attend a
pretest conference if determined necessary by the Director.
(3) Methods.
(i) Sample Location - the emission point shall conform to the requirements of 40 CFR 60,
Appendix A, Method 1, and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) approved
access shall be provided to the test location.
(ii) Compliance determination procedures and stack testing shall be performed according to 40
CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 5B.
(4) Calculations. To determine mass emission rates (lb/hr, etc.) the pollutant concentration as
determined by the appropriate methods above shall be multiplied by the volumetric flow rate and
any necessary conversion factors determined by the Director to give the results in the specified
units of the emission limitation.
(5) Production Rate During Testing. The production rate during all compliance testing shall be
no less than 90% of the maximum production achieved in the previous three (3) years.
II.B.2.b.2 Recordkeeping:
In addition to the recordkeeping requirement described in Provision I.S.1 of this permit,
