Limitations and Tests Procedures
6. Visible emissions from the following emission points shall not exceed the following value:
A. All diesel engines - 20% opacity
Opacity observations of emissions from stationary sources shall be conducted according to 40 CFR
60, Appendix A, Method 9. Visible emissions from mobile sources and intermittent sources shall use
procedures similar to Method 9, but the requirement for observations to be made at 15-second
intervals over a six-minute period shall not apply. Any time interval with no visible emissions shall
not be included.
Status: In Compliance. No visible emissions were observed at the time of inspection.
7. The approved standby generators shall meet the following limitations:
A. Maximum rated capacity of the diesel engine not to exceed 620 kW(463 hp)
B. Operation shall exceed 100 hours per generator per 12-month period
Operation includes periods when the generator is operated for testing/maintenance. Compliance with
this limitation shall be determined either by installation of an hour meter on each generator or by
recording hours on an operations log. The operations log shall include monthly recordings of the
hours of operation and calculated total hours of operation per month, and per 12 consecutive month
period. On the first working day of each month a new total shall be calculated and recorded. Records
of engine hours shall be kept for all periods when the plant is in operation. Records of engine hours
shall be made available to the executive secretary or her representative upon request and shall include
a period of two years ending with the date of the request. Engine hours of operation shall be
determined by examination of maintenance records, which shall be kept on site.
Status: In compliance. The rolling 12-month total the generator operated from November 2023 to
October 2024, was 6 hours. Hours of operation are kept by CAT Wheeler since they
conduct the testing for this generator. A report of the operation runtime and reason for
operation for each visit is sent to the staff at the Army Depot. They are scheduled to visit
every month to test the generator. They have not had to operate this generator other than
for testing in the last 3 years.
Fuels
8. The sulfur content of any fuel oil or diesel burned shall not exceed 0.05 percent by weight. Sulfur
content shall be decided by ASTM Method D-4294-89, or approved equivalent. The sulfur content
shall be tested if directed by the executive secretary.
Status: Compliance not determined. Fuel is provided by CAT Wheeler when they run the generator
for monthly testing. Source didn’t provide an invoice on the fuel that stated the explicit
sulfur content. Source confirmed at the time of inspection that the fuel CAT Wheeler uses is
purchased from a source in the state of Utah.

40 CFR Part 63 Subpart ZZZZ–National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air for Stationary
Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (RICE)
1. 40 CFR 63.6585 Am I Subject to this Subpart?
Status: In compliance. The existing 403 hp emergency generator is subject to the rule. Since this
generator is operated by the U.S. Army, they could apply for an exemption to Subpart
ZZZZ. To this date there has been no notification made for an exemption to Subpart ZZZZ
based on this possible exemption.
2. 40 CFR 63.6660(b) and (c) must keep each record readily accessible for five years in hard copy or
electronic form.
Status: In compliance. The generator operated for 6 hours over the past rolling 12 months. Source
maintains records of operation and has the generator maintained by CAT Wheeler. This
was viewed onsite at the time of inspection.
EMISSION INVENTORY: Emissions from the generator are expected to be below the minor
source threshold based on previous evaluation. The permitted
generators expected emissions:
Pollutants Ton/Year
PM10 0.9
SO2 0.18
NOx 0.96
CO 0.22
VOC 0.03
PREVIOUS ENFORCEMENT
ACTIONS: None in the past five years.
COMPLIANCE STATUS &
RECOMMENDATIONS: In Compliance with conditions listed within the AO. The
generator is operational, however it only operates for testing and
hasn’t been used for emergency situations in years. At the time
of inspection information was given to Joel Yoder, who oversees
this generator, on how to apply for either a Small Source
Exemption or a permit revocation. Contact information was
provided on how to start with that process.
RECOMMENDATION FOR
NEXT INSPECTION: Check to see if the source has filed for a Small Source
Exemption or Permit Revocation. If so, inspection may not be
required at this facility any longer.
NSR RECOMMENDATION: This permit should be submitted for a 10-Year Review if the
source maintains the permit as is. Otherwise, the source should
be recommended to file for a Small Source Exemption or a
Permit Revocation.
ATTACHMENTS: None
