DIVISION OF AIR QUALITY
Hill Air Force Base (AFB) is submitting this letter to notifu the administrator of the initial
performance test of three Victor Energy, 99.8 MMBtu/hr rental boilers, located at building 260 under
approval letter DAQE-GN101210293-24. The boilers are subject to an opacity standard under 40 CFR
60.43c(c) when firing fuel oil. An initial performance test for opacity is required by 40 CFR 60.45c to
demonstrate compliance with established limits via visual opacity determination in accordance with 40
CFR 60, appendix A, method 9 within 60-days after achieving the maximum production rate at which the
affected emission units will be operated but not later than 180 days after initial startup.
The boilers are scheduled to be started up individually for testing and commissioning while
combusting fuel oil beginning 08 July 2024. Once the boilers complete the initial startup on fuel oil, they
will operate primarily on natural gas, with fuel oil combustion only taking place as a back-up during
periods of natural gas curtailment or maintenance/readiness testing as needed.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this issue further, my point of contact is Dr.
Erik Dettenmaier, 7 5 CEG / CEIEA, at (801) 7 7 7 -0888 or erik.dettenmaier. I @us.af. mi l.
