Hello Simon,
My name is Jordan Garahana and I am an Environmental Scientist with the state of Utah's Division of Air Quality. I am
requesting records/information for an inspection, and these are the records that I am looking for:
II.B.1.b- The following operating parameters shall be maintained within the indicated ranges: A. Inlet biogas flow rate
between 180 and 900 scfm; B. Outlet H2S concentration no greater than 200 ppmv; C. Inlet water temperature between
50 and 102 degrees Fahrenheit. I need recent records that show this is being recorded daily and that the parameters
mentioned in this condition are not exceeded.
II.B.1.b.2- All instruments shall be calibrated according to the manufacturers' instructions at least once every 12 months. I
need a record that shows the instruments used to measure these parameters are being calibrated according to
manufacturer's specifications within the previous 12 months.
II.B.2.a- The owner/operator shall not operate the emergency engine on site for more than 100 hours per rolling 12-month
period during non-emergency situations. There is no time limit on the use of the engines during emergencies. [40 CFR 60
Subpart ZZZZ, R307-401-8] I need a rolling 12-month total from July 2023 to June 2024 of the hours the emergency
engine operated indicating the reason the emergency engine was operating. I also need any recent maintenance
records for the emergency engines and generator engines.
II.B.2.b- The owner/operator shall only use diesel fuel (fuel oil #1, #2 or diesel fuel oil additives) in the emergency generator
engine. All diesel burned shall meet the definition of ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD), and contain no more than 15 ppm
sulfur. [R307-401-8] I need a recent bill of sale from your diesel fuel provider that demonstrates the diesel fuel
utilized onsite is ULSD and has a PPM of 15 or less.
II.B.4.c- The owner/operator shall not burn biogas as fuel in the hot water boiler for more than 2,000 hours per rolling 12-
month period. I need the rolling 12-month total from July 2023 to June 2024 showing that amount the hot water
boiler operated on biogas.
II.B.5.b- A manometer or magnehelic pressure gauge shall be installed to measure the differential pressure across the
oxidation catalysts. Static pressure differential across the oxidation catalysts shall be no more than 4.6 inches of water
column. The pressure gauge shall be located such that an inspector/operator can safely read the indicator at any time.
The instrument shall be calibrated according to the manufacturer's instructions at least once every 12 months. Recording of
the reading is required on a once-a-week basis. I need a log of the magnehelic pressure gauge readings indicating
that they are being recorded once a week. I also need a record that shows the magnehelic gauge is calibrated
once every 12 months.
II.B.5.c- The owner/operator shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a monitoring device for the measurement of the
operating temperature in the oxidation catalysts. The temperature shall be maintained between 600 and 1300 degrees
Fahrenheit. The gauge shall be located such that an inspector /operator can safely read the indicator at any time. The
monitoring device shall be calibrated according to the manufacturer's instructions at least once every 12 months.
Recording of the reading is required on a once-a-week basis. I need a record that shows the temperature on the
oxidation catalysts is being recorded once a week and is operating between 600 and 1300 degrees. I also need a
record that shows the monitoring device is being calibrated once every 12 months according to the
manufacturer's specifications.
II.B.5.g.10- Existing Source Operation For an existing source/emission point, the production rate during all compliance
testing shall be no less than 90% of the maximum production achieved in the previous three (3) years. Your most recent
stack test according to our files for your operation was in December of 2020. If you have had a stack test since
then, please send me a copy of the report from that test. Otherwise, please schedule to have one conducted as
you are out of compliance with this AO condition.

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
