Project Description
NGSC has requested to update the Bacchus site, approval order, and equipment list by adding a
464-horsepower diesel-fired emergency generator engine in Building 50A and removing a pulse jet
baghouse and two spray booths. The emissions increase from this permit change is the result of the
addition of the emergency generator, which is limited to 100 hours per year of operations for testing and
maintenance. The addition of the emergency generator will not result in additional requirements in the
permit since the most recent emergency generator requirements are already included in the existing
permit. The emissions reduction from the removal of the baghouse and spray booths was not taken into
consideration in this permit change.

Project Description
NGSC has requested to update the Bacchus site, approval order, and equipment list by adding a
464-horsepower diesel-fired emergency generator engine in Building 50A and removing a pulse jet
baghouse and two (2) spray booths. The emissions increase from this permit change is the result of the
addition of the emergency generator, which is limited to 100 hours per year of operations for testing and
maintenance. The addition of the emergency generator will not result in additional requirements in the
permit since the most recent emergency generator requirements are already included in the existing
permit. The emissions reduction from the removal of the baghouse and spray booths was not taken into
consideration in this permit change.

baghouse and two spray booths. The emissions increase from this permit change are the result of the addition of the emergency generator which is limited to 100 hours per year of operations for testing and maintenance. The addition of the emergency generator will not result in additional
requirements in the permit since the most recent emergency generator requirement are already included in the existing permit. The emissions reduction from the removal of the baghouse and spray booths were not taken into consideration in this permit change.
EMISSION IMPACT ANALYSIS Modeling is not required as R307-410-4 and R307-410-5. The emission rates from the additional emergency generator are below all modeling thresholds. [Last updated February 4, 2025]

Review of BACT for New/Modified Emission Units 1. BACT review regarding BACT
Diesel-fired Emergency Generators The following control technologies were reviewed for the diesel-powered emergency generator engine:
Limited Hours of Operation, Good Combustion Practices, Use of a Tier Certified Engine, Exhaust Gas Recirculation, Diesel Particulate Filter, Ultra-Low Sulfur Fuel, Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC), and Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR).
All control technologies are technically feasible except for DOC, Exhaust Gas Recirculation and
SCR for the diesel-fired emergency generator engine. DOC requires the engine to have an exhaust temperature of at least 150 degrees C for engines with high rates of PM10. Both engines are limited to 100 hours of operation for maintenance and testing. Due to the limited hours of operation the
exhaust temperature does not attain the minimum temperature requirement for a long enough time to make DOC technically feasible. Exhaust Gas Recirculation control technology exhaust gas recirculation can also result in heat rejection, reduced power density, and lower fuel economy
making exhaust gas recirculation technically infeasible. The diesel-fired emergency generator engine is too small (less than 600 hp) for SCR to operate correctly. The following control technologies are determined to be technically feasible; Limited Hours of Operation, Good Combustion Practices, Use of a Tier Certified Engine, Diesel Particulate Filter,
and Ultra-Low Sulfur Fuel. Due to the limited hours of operation and the emissions associated with the limited hours all control technologies control technologies are determined to be economically infeasible except ; Limited Hours of Operation, Good Combustion Practices, Use of
a Tier Certified Engine, and Ultra-Low Sulfur Fuel.
BACT for the diesel-fired emergency generators is: Limited Hours of Operation, Good Combustion Practices, Use of a Tier Certified Engine, Ultra-Low Sulfur Fuel, 20 % Opacity limit

REVIEWER COMMENTS
1. Comment regarding Emission Estimates: Emergency Generator Engine The PTE emissions estimate for Emergency Generator Engine used EPA Tier 3 standards for Nonroad Compression-Ignition Engines. A California Air Resources Board (CARB) emission factors policy memo was used to determine the breakdown of the non-methane hydrocarbon (NMHC) + NOx emission factor, which is assumed to be 5% NMHC and 95% NOx (CARB, 2008). The SOx emissions were generated using ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) sulfur content (15 ppm). The CO2e calculated used table A-1 "Global Warming Potentials" from 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 98. The emergency generator engine is limited by hours of operation. [Last updated February 4, 2025]
2. Comment regarding Requirements: The addition of the emergency generator will not result in additional requirements in the permit. NGSC has the most recent emergency generator requirement already included in the existing permit
and there is no need to add additional requirements. [Last updated February 4, 2025] 3. Comment regarding Removed Equipment:
The emissions reduction from the removal of the baghouse and spray booths were not taken into consideration in this permit change. [Last updated February 4, 2025] 4. Comment regarding Emissions Offsets: This facility is a minor source located in Salt Lake County which is a Nonattainment area for Ozone, PM10 and PM2.5. A minor source conducting a minor modification does not trigger offsets under UAC R307-420-3 or UAC R307-421-3. This permit modification does not trigger offsets of either Ozone, PM10 or PM2.5. [Last updated February 5, 2025] 5. Comment regarding Source Classification: NGSC is located in a serious ozone nonattainment area. The Bacchus Works facility has the PTE emissions of NOx and VOC below the major threshold values of 50 TPY for either pollutant. This makes this facility a minor source and the increase in emissions are below the significant levels making this a minor modification. [Last updated February 4, 2025]

1. Facility Description
Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (NGSC) operates the Bacchus Works site, an existing rocket
propulsion plant in West Valley City. The Bacchus Works site manufactures solid fuel rocket motors for
NASA and the Department of Defense. The manufacturing operations at this plant include rocket case
preparation buildings, cyclotetramethylene tetranitramine (HMX) grinding and drying processes for making
solid rocket fuel, propellant sampling and machining, and an open burning ground for the routine burning
of explosive and flammable wastes. The site is divided in three sections: Plant 1, NIROP, and Bacchus
West. A facility site plan is included in Attachment 1.
2. Project Information
NGSC is requesting the following changes to is Bacchus Works approval order (AO):
1. Install and operate a 464 hp diesel-fired emergency generator at Building 50A; and
2. Remove the Building 2471 pulse jet baghouse and two paint spray booths listed under Condition
II.A.7 in DAQE-AN104020060-24.
Emergency Generator
The proposed emergency generator will support operations in Building 50A during emergencies or when
power is interrupted by the local utility. Building 50A is located on the NIROP section of Bacchus Works, as
shown in Attachment 1, Figure 2.
Approval Order Conditions
Due to operational changes and planning, as described in a New Equipment Construction Status letter sent
to UDAQ (dated April 3, 2024), the pulse jet baghouse and SLR-4 were removed and the two paint spray
booths were not installed. The SLR-4 was already removed from the AO, and now NGSC would like the
baghouse and paint booths removed from the AO, as well.
3. Potential To Emit (PTE) Emissions
NGSC requests to update the site’s potential to emit (PTE) emissions to reflect the information in this NOI
application. Emission calculations are included in Attachment 3 and the existing PTE, the change in PTE,
and the new facility PTE emissions are shown in Table 1.

3.1. Emissions Methodology
The emergency generator emissions were calculated using EPA Tier 3 standards for Nonroad
Compression-Ignition Engines. A California Air Resources Board (CARB) emission factors policy memo
was used to determine the breakdown of the non-methane hydrocarbon (NMHC) + NOx emission factor,
which is assumed to be 5% NMHC and 95% NOx (CARB, 2008). The SO2 emissions were calculated using
the ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) sulfur content (15 ppm). HAP emissions were estimated using EPA AP-
42 Chapter 3.3 emission factors for diesel industrial engines. Greenhouse gas emissions were estimated
using 40 CFR Subpart C. Emissions are based on 100 hours per year for maintenance and non-emergency
run time.
4. Best Available Control Technology (BACT) Analysis
4.1. Top-Down Analysis Process
A top-down BACT evaluation requires documentation and ranking of performance levels achievable for
each technically feasible pollutant control technology. The top-down BACT review process involves
determining the most stringent control technique available for a similar or identical emission source. If it can
be shown that the control technology is technically, environmentally, or economically impractical on a case-
by-case basis for the source under evaluation, then the next most stringent level of control is determined
and similarly evaluated. This process continues until a control technology and associated emission level is
determined that cannot be eliminated by any technical, environmental, or economic objections.
A top-down approach was used to evaluate available pollution controls for the proposed emergency
generator.
4.2. NOx / Particulate / VOC / CO Emissions
Step 1: Identify Control Technologies for NOx / Particulate / VOC / CO Emissions
NGSC considered the following control technologies:
1. Use of natural gas-fired engine
2. Use of propane-fired engine
3. Use of Tier Certified (Tier 2 or 3) diesel-fired engine
4. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) (Tier 4 Certified)
These controls are described below.
Use of natural gas-fired engine
Natural gas may be used as an alternate fuel source to traditional diesel emergency engines. Natural gas
engines typically emit less emissions than an equivalent-sized diesel-fired engine.
Use of propane-fired engine
Similar to natural gas, propane fuel may be used as an alternate fuel source to traditional diesel emergency
engines. Propane engines typically emit less emissions than an equivalent-sized diesel-fired engine.
Use of Tier-Certified (Tier 2 or 3) diesel-fired engine
Diesel engines utilize ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel, which helps eliminates fuel-bound NOx associated with
combustion. Much of the fuel-bound nitrogen is removed during the sulfurization process. Tier-Certified
engines satisfy EPA’s New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) IIII and Maximum Achievable Control
Notice of Intent Application
50A Emergency Generator
Site: Bacchus Works
Page 3 of 4
Technology (MACT) ZZZZ emission standards. These engines are limited to 100 hours per year for
maintenance and non-emergency use.
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) (Tier 4 Certified)
The Tier 4 diesel engine standards require that emissions of PM and NOx be further reduced by about
90%. Such emission reductions can be achieved using control technologies, including SCR and DPF. SCR
is a post-combustion NOx reduction technology that uses ammonia to react with NOx in the gas stream in
the presence of a catalyst.
Step 2: Eliminate Technically Infeasible Options
1. Use of natural gas-fired engine
The emergency engines at Bacchus Works must meet the National Fire Protection Association Standard
for Emergency and Standby Power Systems (NFPA 110). NFPA 110 states that diesel fuel is the preferred
choice in Level 1 installations where the probability of interruption to fuel supplies is high.
The Bacchus Works site is located in West Valley City, which is recognized as having a high likelihood of
interruption due to earthquakes, based on the University of Utah’s seismicity risk map (University of Utah,
2022). With a high likelihood for natural gas supply interruption, a natural gas emergency engine may not
meet the NFPA 110 Standard. For this reason, a natural gas-fired engine is not considered technically
feasible.
2. Use of propane-fired engine
Through discussion with vendors, NGSC determined propane engines are not manufactured in the required
size. For example, the Cummins vendor stated propane-fired generators are manufactured up to 200 kW,
which is smaller than the required size. Building 50A requires a 250 kW (464 hp) engine and for this reason,
a propane engine is not considered technically feasible.
3. Use of Tier Certified (Tier 2 or 3) diesel-fired engine
As stated above, the NFPA 110 Standard states that diesel fuel is the preferred choice in Level 1
installations where the probability of interruption to fuel supplies is high. Ultra-low sulfur diesel engines are
manufactured in the required size (464 hp) and therefore considered a technically feasible option.
NGSC discussed available tier ratings with Cummins vendor and the vendor confirmed that 464 hp engines
are manufactured as both Tier 2 and Tier 3-certified. Since Tier 3 engines emit less emissions, NGSC only
considered the Tier 3 engine as a technically feasible option. Because certified Tier 3 engines meet NSPS
IIII and MACT ZZZZ, further evaluation is not warranted.
4. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) (Tier 4 Certified)
While Tier 4 engines are designed to reduce emissions, generators used for emergency standby power are
exempt from the final Tier 4 regulations. Additionally, SCR and DPF technologies have technical challenges
when applied to emergency engines. Since emergency engines typically operate for short periods at no or
low load during monthly O&M, the engine exhaust would not reach the temperature required for the catalyst
to operate (UDAQ, 2018). For this reason, Tier 4 engines are not considered a technically feasible option.
Step 3: Rank Technically Feasible Control Options
An ULSD Tier 3-certified diesel engine is considered technically feasible.
Step 4: Energy, Environmental, and Economic Feasibility of Remaining Controls
An ULSD Tier 3-certified diesel engine is considered economically feasible.
Notice of Intent Application
50A Emergency Generator
Site: Bacchus Works
Page 4 of 4
Step 5: Proposed BACT
NGSC proposes an ULSD Tier 3-certified diesel engine as BACT.
4.3. SO2 Emissions
Step 1: Identify Control Technologies for SO2 Emissions
NGSC considered the used of ULSD as control for SO2 emissions.
Use of ULSD
Diesel engine emissions contain sulfur, which is emitted from the exhaust as SO2. SO2 emissions are
directly proportional to the amount of sulfur in the diesel. NGSC only uses ULSD, which contains less than
15 parts per million (ppm) sulfur. This represents the top level of possible control.
Step 2: Eliminate Technically Infeasible Options
ULSD is available for use and is considered feasible.
Step 3: Rank Technically Feasible Control Options
Use of ULSD fuel is the top level of control for SO2 emissions.
Step 4: Energy, Environmental, and Economic Feasibility of Remaining Controls
ULSD is commonly available and does not cost extra or affect energy efficiency.
Step 5: Proposed BACT
The use of ULSD is feasible and provides the highest level of control for SO2 emissions. ULSD is therefore
selected as BACT.
5. Regulatory Analysis
The proposed emergency generator will be subject to New Source Performance Standards Subpart A
(General Provisions) and Subpart IIII (Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition
Internal Combustion Engines).
