Project Proposal
Modification to AO DAQE-AN143300006-22 to Add an Emergency Pump Engine and Increase
Operating Hours for the Emergency Generator Engines
Project Description
Oracle America, Inc has requested to add an emergency pump engine with maximum capacity of
117 kW (157 hp). The pump engine shall be allowed to operate up to 100 hrs per year for testing
and maintenance. The company has also requested to increase annual operating hours from 70 to
100 for the emergency generator engines. There are no restrictions on operating hours during
emergencies for the emergency generator and pump engines.
EMISSION IMPACT ANALYSIS
The emission increases as a result of the addition of an emergency pump engine are below the modeling
thresholds per UAC R307-410-4 and R307-410-5; therefore, modeling is not required from the source. The
DAQ conducted an in-house modeling for 1-hour NO2 emissions. Using the limitations in the current AO
DAQE-AN143300006-22, the predicted NO2 concentration is 92.3% of the NAAQS. Therefore, this
modification will not cause the source to exceed the NAAQS for NO2. [Last updated January 23, 2024]

Review of BACT for New/Modified Emission Units
1. BACT review regarding the emergency fire pump engine
The emergency fire pump engine is rated at 117 kW. The engine will be operated at 100 hrs per
year for testing and maintenance purposes. Emissions are very small, with the CO emissions being
the highest at 0.06 tpy. Therefore, it is economically infeasible to add any control for such small
emissions. The source, however, will use only ultra-low sulfur content diesel fuel in the engine.
Visible emissions from the engine will be limited to 20% opacity. The Minor NSR Section
considers the sulfur content and the opacity limit as BACT. [Last updated November 6, 2023]
2. BACT review regarding the emergency generator engines
The emissions in the current AO DAQE-AN143300006-22 were actually based on 100 hrs of
operations for each of the generator engines. There are total 12 generator engines, including eight
(8) rated at 3,353 hp each, two (2) rated at 4,060 hp each, one (1) rated at 1,490 hp, and one (1)
rated at 5,051 hp. Total NOx emissions, which are the highest among all criteria pollutants, are
21.87 tpy. The NOx emissions from the 5,051-hp engine were conservatively estimated at 2.66
tpy. The engine operations from 70 (currently) to 100 hrs (proposed) will increase NOx emissions
by less than 0.80 tpy. Therefore, it is economically infeasible to control such small emissions.
Further, the control effectiveness would be even less economically feasible for all other smaller
engines.
The Minor NSR Section recommends the following as BACT: (1) use of diesel fuel with ultra-low
sulfur content, and (2) visible emissions from the engines are limited to 20% opacity. [Last
updated November 6, 2023]

REVIEWER COMMENTS
1. Comment regarding emission calculations for the emergency fire pump engine:
The emergency fire pump engine, rated at 117 kW (157hp), will operate at 100 hrs per year for
testing and maintenance purposes. All criteria pollutants except for SO2 were calculated using the
Federal standards for emergency pump engines in Table 4 to NSPS Subpart IIII. SO2 and HAP
emissions were calculated using emission factors in AP-42 Section 3.3. [Last updated November 6,
2023]
2. Comment regarding NSPS and MACT Applicability:
NSPS Part 60 Subpart IIII applies to this source. The source operates stationary compression ignition
internal combustion engines that commenced construction after July 11, 2005, were manufactured
after April 1, 2006, or modified or reconstructed after July 11, 2005; therefore, NSPS Subpart IIII
applies.
MACT Part 63 Subpart ZZZZ applies to this source. This source operates stationary reciprocating
internal combustion engines at a major or area source of HAP emissions; therefore, MACT Subpart
ZZZZ applies. [Last updated October 24, 2023]
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; however, the facility is subject to 40
CFR 60 NSPS Subpart A and IIII, and 40 CFR 63 MACT Subparts A and ZZZZ regulations. NSPS
Subpart IIII and MACT Subpart ZZZZ exempt sources from the obligation to obtain a permit under
40 CFR part 70 (Title V permit) if the source is not otherwise required by law to obtain a permit.
Therefore, the source is not subject to Title V requirements. [Last updated October 24, 2023]

III. MODELING METHODOLOGY
A. Applicability
Emissions from the facility include PM10, NOx, CO, SO2, and HAPs. This modeling is part
of a modified approval order. The emission rate for NOx triggered an in-house modeling
review to demonstrate compliance with the NAAQS. Modeling was performed by the
UDAQ.
B. Assumptions
1. Topography/Terrain
The Plant is at an elevation 4985 feet with terrain features that have little effect on
concentration predictions.
a. Zone: 12
b. Approximate Location:
UTM (NAD83): 412204 meters East
4491302 meters North
2. Urban or Rural Area Designation
After a review of the appropriate 7.5-minute quadrangles, it was concluded the area
is “rural” for air modeling purposes.
3. Ambient Air
It was determined that the Plant boundary used in the AQIA meets the State’s definition
of ambient air.
4. Building Downwash
The source was modeled with the AERMOD model. All structures at the plant were used
in the model to account for their influence on downwash.
5. Meteorology
Five years of off-site surface and upper air data were used in the analysis consisting of
the following:
Surface – Salt Lake Airport, UT NWS: 2016-2020
Upper Air – Salt Lake Airport, UT NWS: 2016-2020
DAQE-MN143300007-24

6. Background
The background concentrations were based on Ozone and NO2 concentrations measured
in Herriman, Utah, revised to use hourly-seasonal data from 2019-21.
7. Receptor and Terrain Elevations
The modeling domain used consisted of receptors including property boundary receptors.
This area of the state contains mountainous terrain and the modeling domain has simple
and complex terrain features in the near and far fields. Therefore, receptor points
representing actual terrain elevations from the area were used in the analysis.
8. Model and Options
The State accepted AERMOD model was used to predict air pollutant concentrations
under a simple/complex terrain/wake effect situation. In quantifying concentrations, the
regulatory default option was selected.
