Dear Mr. Eckert:

Re: Compliance Advisory, No Further Action – Phibro Biodigester, LLC

On December 19, 2024, the Utah Division of Air Quality (DAQ) sent the Phibro Biodigester, LLC
a Compliance Advisory (DAQC-1243-24) for potential violations of the Utah Air Quality Rules.
On January 7, 2025, Phibro Biodigester, LLC submitted additional information (see attached) that
resolved the potential violations outlined in the Compliance Advisory referenced above. Based on
the additional information provided to the DAQ, no further action is required at this time. Please
be aware that closure of this Compliance Advisory does not constitute a bar to enforcement action
for conditions found during other inspections.

Thank you for your cooperation in resolving this matter. If you have any questions regarding this
letter, please contact me at 385-306-6500 or at [e-mail].

Sincerely,

Chad Gilgen, Manager
Minor Source Compliance Section

Hello Tom,
Thanks for your call this afternoon. It was good to speak with you.
Per our discussion, you are in receipt of the Compliance Advisory (see attached DAQC-1243-24) for the Phibro
Biodigester near Beaver, Utah which is permitted under Utah Division of Air Quality (DAQ) Approval Order DAQE-
AN144070004-20 (also attached).
During our conversation you confirmed this facility has not operated since January 2023 and there are plans for it to
become operational within the immediate future.
Based on this information, the DAQ will issue a No Further Action Letter to close out the Compliance Advisory. What
would be the best address to send this letter to?
Please respond back to this email to let me know it was received and also please let me know if I missed anything from
our conversation or if you have any questions.
Thanks again,
Chad
