Dear Mr. Wiscomb:
Re: PacifiCorp (Hunter Plant) – Pretest Protocol for Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (CO2),
Flow, Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Relative Accuracy Test – Emery County
The Utah Division of Air Quality (DAQ) reviewed Hunter Plant’s pretest protocol dated February 27,
2024. The proposed test shall be performed under the following conditions:
Hunter Plant’s monitoring system to be certified:
Point Source Channel Manufacturer Model No. Monitor ID
Unit 2
CO Thermo Scientific 48iQ N/A
CO2 Thermo Scientific 410iQ 213
NOx Thermo Scientific 42iQ 212
SO2 Thermo Scientific 43iQ 211
Montrose Air Quality Services will conduct a relative accuracy/performance specification test on Hunter
Plant’s continuous monitoring system.
Relative accuracy must be determined in the units of the emission standard or equivalent units of the
emission standard, i.e., tons/year shall be tested in pounds/hour or lb Hg/MM ton clinker 30-DRA shall be
tested as lb Hg/MM ton clinker.

The DAQ understands that testing will be conducted as follows:
Test Date Point Source Parameter EPA Reference Method
May 2, 2024 Unit 2 Pollutant Stratification Test
May 2, 2024 Unit 2
CO Method 3A, 10
CO2 Method 3A
Flow Method 1, 2G, 2H, 3, and 4
NOx Method 3A, 7E
SO2 Method 3A, 6C
• Reference Method 1 - Sample and Velocity Traverses for Stationary Point Sources as outlined in
40 CFR 60 Appendix A shall be used to determine the location and number of sampling points as
applicable.
• Reference Method 2G - Determination of Stack Gas Velocity and Volumetric Flow Rate with
Two-Dimensional Probes as outlined in 40 CFR 60 Appendix A.
• Reference Method 2H - Determination of Stack Gas Velocity Taking into Account Velocity Decay
Near the Stack Wall as outlined in 40 CFR 60 Appendix A.
• Reference Method 3A - Determination of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Concentrations in
Emissions from Stationary Point Sources – (Instrumental Analyzer Procedure) as outlined in 40
CFR 60 Appendix A.
• Reference Method 4 - Determination of Moisture Content in Stack Gases as outlined in 40 CFR 60
Appendix A shall be used to determine the stack gas moisture content.
• Reference Method 6C - Determination of Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Stationary Point Sources
- (Instrumental Analyzer Procedure) as outlined in 40 CFR 60 Appendix A.
• Reference Method 7E - Determination of Nitrogen Oxide Emissions from Stationary Point Sources
- (Instrumental Analyzer Procedure) as outlined in 40 CFR 60 Appendix A.
• Reference Method 10 - Determination of Carbon Monoxide Emissions from Stationary Point
Sources – (NDIR Instrumental Procedure) as outlined in 40 CFR 60 Appendix A.
• Deviations - The Director or the representative of the Director must be notified of and approve
deviations of the Reference Method test. Any deviation from these conditions without approval
from the DAQ may constitute rejection of these tests.
• Acceptance of a protocol does not relieve the owner/operator and the testing contractor from strict
adherence to all applicable EPA methods, DAQ policies, Utah Air Quality Rules (UAQR), and
methods approved by the Director. Any deviation from EPA methods, DAQ policies, UAQR, and
methods approved by the Director must be addressed separately and express written consent given
prior to commencement of testing.

• Field data (Point Source emission data and test data) shall be turned over to the DAQ in a timely
manner for review.
• The Director will determine the relative accuracy of each monitoring system based on Point Source
continuous emission monitoring data and test data acquired by the staff member of the DAQ
during the test.
• All test reports must be submitted to the Director not later than 60 days after completion of the test.
• The test report shall include all raw calibration data and raw emission data with date and time
stamps.
Relative accuracy test reports must contain:
1. Point source continuous monitor, channel, manufacturer, and serial number,
2. Raw stack test data and continuous monitor data with date and time stamps.
3. Emission data reported in concentration (ppm or %) and units in the applicable emission limit.
The DAQ requires that all test reports include a statement signed by a responsible official certifying
that:
1. Testing was conducted while the Point Source was operating at the rate and/or conditions
specified in the applicable approval order, operating permit, or federal regulation.
2. During testing, the Point Source combusted fuels, used raw materials, and maintained process
conditions representative of normal operations, and operated under such other relevant
conditions specified by the Director.
3. Based on information and belief formed after reasonable inquiry, the statements and
information contained in the report are true, accurate, and complete.
Should you have any questions concerning this matter, contact me at (801) 536-4063 or by email at
