PROCESS DESCRIPTION: General: Hill Air Force Base (HAFB) is located about 30 miles north of
Salt Lake City and comprises 6,600 acres including the Little Mountain
facility located 18 miles northwest of the main base. The base provides
worldwide logistics support for some of the Air Force and Defense
Department's most sophisticated weapon systems. Support operations
include systems management, spare parts, and major maintenance and
modification services. HAFB has extensive industrial facilities for
painting, paint stripping, plating, parts warehousing/distribution, and
industrial wastewater treatment. In addition, HAFB manages and
maintains other systems such as conventional air munitions, solid
propellants, landing gear, and training devices. A methane-fueled power
plant has been installed that operates on landfill gas.
HAFB is a major source of air pollution for PM2.5,PM10, NOx, CO, VOC,
and HAP emissions. HAFB is subject to 40 CFR 60 Subparts A, Dc, Kb,
IIII, and JJJJ; 40 CFR 63, Subparts A, N, T, GG, DDDDD, and ZZZZ;
and 40 CFR 82 Subparts B and F (the enforcement primacy of 40 CFR

Good Morning Cindy,
We had a natural gas supply interruption at Hill on Saturday 28 October due to a mechanical failure in the supply system
that lasted for a couple hours (see attached). To meet our 48 hr notification requirement, I am sending this electronically,
however I intend to follow up with a wet signature hand delivered letter today.
Thank you,
Erik

Subject: Hill AFB Rental Boilers Method 9 Testing Date Updates
To: Harold Burge <hburge@utah.gov>
Mr. Burge,
Hill AFB is commissioning three Victor Energy, 99.8 MMBtu/hr dual fuel rental boilers, 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.
The boilers were scheduled to be started up individually for testing and commissioning while combusting fuel oil beginning
08 July 2024. Delays in commissioning the rental boilers have pushed the anticipated Method 9 testing date to begin
either 10 July 2024 or 11 July 2024.
