The source will be excavating a pond to settle out particulates in the irrigation water. The rock that is excavated will be crushed on site via one (1) crusher and used as a road base in the same area. The source anticipates its operations to only last two (2) weeks and the volume of excavated rock to not exceed 10,000 cubic yards. Emissions from the operations fall under the thresholds for a small source exemption. Therefore, the Division of Air Quality (DAQ) has revoked the AO referenced above as of the date of this letter. A Small Source Exemption will be issued in a separate letter. If you have any questions, please contact Katie Andersen who can be reached at (385) 515-1748. Sincerely, {{$s }} Bryce C.

This will be a small source exemption and a permit revocation. The source submitted the wrong type of permit application and we issued a portable AO instead of a SSE. You will need to estimate the emissions yourself to confirm the source meeting the SSE thresholds. You can use the spreadsheets on our website to estimate emissions. We will also not bill the source for this work. Please update the letters to reflect this when you issue them. Site ID: 16185 Peer: EQ Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Alan ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Brady Bradshaw <rbradybradshaw@yahoo.com> Date: Thu, Mar 7, 2024 at 9:24 AM Subject: Bradshaw Farms filling fee To: ahumpherys@utah.gov <ahumpherys@utah.gov> Hello Alan, We are local farmers working on building a pond on our rural farm to settle sentiment out of the water before it goes into the irrigation pipes. When building the pond, we decided to crush the rock, that is dug out of the hole for the pond, to use as road base. The crushing is in a very remote area, away from residential houses, and would be a ONE time thing only lasting about 2 weeks. The amount of rock that will be crushed is around 10,000 yards. We completed the public comment period at the local zoning and planning meeting and received approval to do the project, upon receiving an air quality permit. Once again, this project is a one time thing only lasting a couple of weeks and is basically a process to "kill 2 birds with 1 stone" because we would be digging the rock up anyways, so we decided to crush it and use it for road base in the same area. This being our first time submitting for an air quality permit, I called the air quality permit division and talked with Eq, and was directed to fill out the application that I submitted. I was a bit surprised at the process, because this is a very small one time project, but I figured that was part of the process because I had called and was directed to fill out that certain application. The process took over 3 months and was more involved than expected. Being the first time applying for this type of permit, I assumed this must be the normal process even though it seemed much more involved than necessary. Once everything was finally completed and approved, I received a bill for almost $3,000! I was quite shocked! As mentioned earlier, this was my first time going thru this process and I had called and received direction that I followed. This cost a lot of unnecessary time and money. Because of the direction I received, from the air quality permit personnel, I feel that I was misled and lost time waiting for the completion of a permit that was not necessary when another type of permit would have been sufficient. I had no idea the cost would add up so quickly, and there was no quote given before the process was started, to notify us of the cost. Because of all these factors, this is what I am hoping we can accomplish: 1. I would like to know what the correct application is to fill out and find out what that cost would be. 2. I would like to know if it's an option to not to be charged for the first permit as it is much more than what is necessary for the project. We appreciate the help and work that has been done so far and would like to be get everything worked out and the right permit granted. Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response. Please reach out with any questions or for further clarification. 3/8/24, 11:48 AM State of Utah Mail - Fwd: Bradshaw Farms filling fee https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ik=0900585596&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-f:1792977950252280913&simpl=msg-f:17929779502522809…2/2 Thanks again, Brady Bradshaw 435-310-0727 Bradshaw Farms & Equipment -- Alan Humpherys Manager | Minor NSR Section P: (385) 306-6520 F: (801) 536-4099 airquality.utah.gov Emails to and from this email address may be considered public records and thus subject to Utah GRAMA requirements.
