methods acceptable to the Director.
D. CO: 40 CFR 60 Appendix A, Method 10, 10B, or other EPA-approved testing
methods acceptable to the Director.
E. Calculations: To determine mass emission rates (lb/hr, etc.) the pollutant
concentration as determined by the appropriate methods above shall be
multiplied by the volumetric flow rate and any necessary conversion factors to
give the results in the specified units of the emission limitation. A stack test
protocol shall be provided at least 30 days prior to the test. A pretest conference
shall be held if directed by the Director.
F. The production rate during all compliance testing shall be no less than 90% of
the maximum production rate achieved in the previous three (3) years. If the
desired production rate is not achieved at the time of the test, the maximum
production rate shall be 110% of the tested achieved rate, but not more than the
maximum allowable production rate. This new allowable maximum production
rate shall remain in effect until successfully tested at a higher rate. The
owner/operator shall request a higher production rate when necessary. Testing at
no less than 90% of the higher rate shall be conducted. A new maximum
production rate (110% of the new rate) will then be allowed if the test is
successful. This process may be repeated until the maximum allowable
production rate is achieved.
G. Stack testing on each internal combustion engine shall be performed once every
8,760 hours of operation of that engine, but no less frequently than once every
three (3) years, whichever condition is met first.

Review of BACT for New/Modified Emission Units
1. BACT review regarding Engines K-3 through K-7
Springville is proposing an emission factor of 0.07 g/hp-hr NOx for the five new engines by adding
an SCR. UDAQ has reviewed the available control options for these engines and has not found a
lower emission rate for similar equipment. Therefore, the proposed limit of 0.07 g/hp-hr NOx
meets BACT for the new engines.
The proposed CO limit for the five engines is 0.108 g/hp-hr CO. In addition to good combustion
techniques, the five new engines have SCRs and OCs. The OC/SCRs will reduce the CO and
formaldehyde emissions by 93% and 75%. VOCs will be reduced by 50%. UDAQ has reviewed
these proposed controls as well and agrees with Springville's determination. BACT for the five
new engines is the inclusion of SCR and OC, verified by emission testing on NOx and CO. [Last
updated March 19, 2024]

II.B.1.c Stack testing to demonstrate compliance with daily and rolling 12-month emission limitations
shall be performed in accordance with the following:
A. Sample Location: The emission point shall be designed to conform to the requirements of
40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 1, or other EPA-approved testing methods acceptable to the
Director. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) approvable access shall be
provided to the test location.
B. Volumetric Flow Rate: 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 2 or other EPA-approved testing
methods acceptable to the Director.
C. NOx: 40 CFR 60 Appendix A, Method 7E, or other EPA-approved testing methods
acceptable to the Director.
D. CO: 40 CFR 60 Appendix A, Method 10, 10B, or other EPA-approved testing methods
acceptable to the Director.
E. Calculations: To determine mass emission rates (lb/hr, etc.) the pollutant concentration as
determined by the appropriate methods above shall be multiplied by the volumetric flow rate
and any necessary conversion factors to give the results in the specified units of the emission
limitation. A stack test protocol shall be provided at least 30 days prior to the test. A pretest
conference shall be held if directed by the Director.
F. The production rate during all compliance testing shall be no less than 90% of the
maximum production rate achieved in the previous three (3) years. If the desired production
rate is not achieved at the time of the test, the maximum production rate shall be 110% of the
tested achieved rate, but not more than the maximum allowable production rate. This new
allowable maximum production rate shall remain in effect until successfully tested at a higher
rate. The owner/operator shall request a higher production rate when necessary. Testing at no
less than 90% of the higher rate shall be conducted. A new maximum production rate (110%
of the new rate) will then be allowed if the test is successful. This process may be repeated
until the maximum allowable production rate is achieved.
G. Stack testing on each internal combustion engine shall be performed once every 8,760
hours of operation of that engine, but no less frequently than once every three (3) years,
whichever condition is met first. [40 CFR 60 Subpart JJJJ, R307-165]

from the most recent stack test. Emissions totals from all engines shall be kept in table
format, listing month, operating hours, and emissions, for each individual engine. Stack
testing shall be performed as outlined in condition II.B.1.c.
A day is equivalent to the time period from midnight to the following midnight.
Emissions shall be calculated for NOx and CO for each individual engine with the following
equations:
Daily Rate Calculation:
D = (X * H)
Where:
X = lb/hr rate for each generator (based on the most recent stack test for that generator)
H = total hours of operation for that generator each day (recorded by hour meter)
D = daily output of pollutant in lbs/day
Monthly Rate Calculation:
The emissions (lb/hr) for each pollutant shall be calculated by summing the daily emissions
for each month.
Annual Rate Calculation:
The annual emissions shall be calculated by summing the emissions from each of the previous
12-months. The lb per rolling 12-month rate shall be divided by 2000 pounds per ton to
calculate tons per rolling 12-month period emissions. The rolling 12-month total shall be
calculated by the twentieth day of each month. [R307-170, R307-401-8]
II.B.2.d The sulfur content of any diesel burned shall not exceed 15 ppm by weight for fuels used in

B. Assumptions
1. Topography/Terrain
The Plant is at an elevation of 4530 feet with terrain features that have an affect on
concentration predictions.
a. Zone: 12
b. Approximate Location:
UTM (NAD83): 447,400 meters East
4,447,250 meters North
2. Urban or Rural Area Designation
After a review of the appropriate 7.5-minute quadrangles, it was concluded the area is
“rural” for air modeling purposes.
3. Ambient Air
It was determined the Plant boundary used in the AQIA meets the State’s definition of
ambient air.
4. Building Downwash
The source was modeled with the AERMOD model. All structures at the plant were used in
the model to account for their influence on downwash.
5. Meteorology
Five (5) years of off-site surface and upper air data were used in the analysis consisting of
the following:
Surface – Spanish Fork, UT UDAQ: 2016-2020
Upper Air – Salt Lake Airport, UT NWS: 2016-2020
6. Background
The background concentrations were based on concentrations measured in Spanish Fork,
Utah.
7. Receptor and Terrain Elevations
The modeling domain used by the Applicant consisted of receptors including property
boundary receptors. This area of the state contains mountainous terrain and the modeling
domain has simple and complex terrain features in the near and far fields. Therefore,
receptor points representing actual terrain elevations from the area were used in the
analysis.
DAQE- MN108190009-23
Page 3
8. Model and Options
The State-accepted AERMOD model was used to predict air pollutant concentrations under
a simple/complex terrain/wake effect situation. In quantifying concentrations, the
regulatory default option was selected.

Executive Summary
Springville Power Corporation (Springville) is filing this Notice of Intent (NOI) for a modification to
their current Approval Order (AO). Requested changes include the addition of units K3-K5 with
new Caterpillar G3520H 4-stroke natural gas engines equipped with both selective catalytic
reduction (SCR) and oxidation catalyst (OC). Units K6 and K7 are being equipped with a SCR
and OC. Additionally, only two Enterprise units will remain (K1 and K2). Emissions associated with
the Caterpillar engines are derived from representative specification sheets from Wheeler
Machinery and Safety Power (manufacturer of the SCR and OC). Enterprise K1 and K2 were
most recently tested in 2021. The worst-case three-test average emission factor amongst the two
is assumed to be representative of both units and scaled up as a safety factror. This includes
both nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO).
Updated 1-hr nitrogen dioxide (NO2) modeling was also conducted to account for a new
configuration at the plant. Units K 5 through K7 will be moved to the south side of the generation
building. Additionally, K4 is moved 7 feet to the south from its current location. Lastly, Springville
owns the property to the south o f 700 N orth. The property boundary has been adjusted to the
incorporate those parcels. In accordance with the Utah County assessor, three parcels are
owned by Springville that comprise approximately 13.23 acres. These parcels are now excluded
from ambient air (700 North remains part of ambient air). The 2.5 MMBtu/hr digester gas boiler
will be removed from the facility and should be removed from the permit.
All engines are covered by 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ (Standards of Performance for Stationary
Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines) or 40 CFR 63, Subpart ZZZZ (National Emission
Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines).
Springville will continue to be classified as a minor facility (area source) regarding hazardous air

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 OVERVIEW
The Whitehead Power Plant is located in Utah County, a non-attainment area for particulate
matter of 2.5 microns or less (PM2.5) and ozone (marginal). The county is also in maintenance for
PM10. All other pollutants are in attainment. At the emission levels described in this NOI, the
facility remains a minor source.
The facility will now consist of two Enterprise engines (K1&K2), five Caterpillar G3520H engines
(K3-K7), and one 6 MMBtu/hr natural gas boiler. Table 1 below identifies the hourly emission rates
for all emission units.
1.2 EMISSION SOURCES
The maximum annual hour usage was estimated to establish the potential emissions. Tables 1
and 2 illustrate the projected hourly and annual emission rates for all engines. All engine emi ssion
rates listed in Table 1 are based on 2021 performance test results for the Enterprise engines and
manufacturer information for the Caterpillar engines . The Enterprise engines have the capacity
of running on diesel fuel 1% of the time during typical operations. The NOx factors are from test
data and account for the 1% diesel. Current CO permit limits of 2.5 lb/hr is proposed to be
maintained for the Enterprise engines. All other pollutant emission factors are established via AP-
42 Sections 3.2 and 3.4 and are illustrated in the following equation example. VOC and HAP are
reduced by 50% based on the OC equipment. The maximum horsepower assumed for both
Enterprise engines is 7,370 hp (5,500 kW).

Conversely, all Caterpillar engine emissions are derived from specification data from the
manufacturer. The CAT G3520H units are 3,422 hp each. Note that K6 and K7 will be
incrementally scaled up when the SCR is added with a software update (2,403 kW to 2,554 kW or
3,422 hp). Each engine has an uncontrolled emission rate of 1 g/hp-hr for NOx, but the SCR
controls all NOx by 93% resulting in an emission factor of 0.07 g/hp-hr. Similarly, CO is controlled
by 93% with an uncontrolled rate of 1.54 g/hp-hr (controlled at 0.108 g/hp-hr). VOC emissions
and all other trace organic hazardous pollutants are controlled at 50% by the OC. The lone
exception being formaldehyde that is controlled at 75%. Controlled VOC emission factors are
0.125 g/hp-hr. Lastly, AP-42 Section 3.2 factors are applied for PM2.5/10 and SO2. The values are
9.99E-03 and 5.88E-04 lb/MMBtu, respectively.

2.1 NATIONAL AMBIENT AIR QUALITY STANDARDS (NAAQS)
Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) are identified in 40 CFR Part 50 and
define levels of air quality, which the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)
deems necessary to protect the public health. Secondary NAAQS define levels of air quality,
which the USEPA judges necessary to protect public welfare from any known or anticipated
adverse effects of a pollutant. Examples of public welfare include protecting wildlife, buildings,
national monuments, vegetation, visibility, and property values from degradation due to
excessive emissions of criteria pollutants.
Specific standards for the following pollutants have been promulgated by USEPA: PM10, SO2,
NOx, CO, ozone, lead, and PM2.5 . Springville emits PM 10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, CO, and VOCs, a
precursor to ozone. The modification is a net decrease in most emissions. Those that do increase

do not exceed any modeling thresholds. However, 1-hr NO2 modeling was conducted based on
past experience with UDAQ modeling staff regarding this facility and substantial changes to the
layout. For details refer to Appendix G.
2.2 TITLE V (PART 70) OPERATING PERMIT
Title V of the Clean Air Act (CAA) created the federal operating permit program. These
permitting requirements are codified in 40 CFR Part 70. These permits are required for major
sources with a PTE (considering federally enforceable limitations) greater than 100 tpy for any
criteria pollutant, 25 tpy for all hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) in aggregate, or 10 tpy of any
single HAP. Springville is a minor source because the potential to emit of all criteria emissions
does not exceed 100 tons per year, no r are the HAPs thresholds exceeded. Therefore, a Title V
Operating permit is not needed.
2.3 NATIONAL EMISSION STANDARDS FOR HAZARDOUS AIR
POLLUTANTS (NESHAPS)
There are two sets of National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs). The
first NESHAP regulations were developed under the auspices of the original CAA. These
standards are codified in 40 CFR Part 61 and address a limited number of pollutants and
industries. 40 CFR Part 61 regulations do not apply to the Springville facility.
New er regulations are codified in 40 CFR Part 63 under the authority of the 1990 Clean Air Act
Amendments (CAAA). These standards regulate HAP emissions from specific source categories
and typically affect only major sources of HAPs, however some affect mino r sources of HAPs.
Part 63 regulations are frequently called Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT)
standards. Major HAP sources have the PTE 10 tpy or more of any single HAP or 25 tpy or more of
all combined HAP emissions. At the Springville faci lity, potential emissions of individual HAPs will
be less than 10 tpy and combined HAP emissions will be less than 25 tpy. A review of all potential
NESHAPS concluded that subpart ZZZZ is applicable to Springville.
Both K1 and K2 engines are subject to Sub part ZZZZ as they were constructed prior to June 12,
2006. All the CAT engines are also subject to 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ. These engines meet
the Subpart ZZZZ requirements by complying with 40 CFR 60, Subpart JJJJ requirements as stated
in section 40 CFR 63.6590(c).
2.4 NEW SOURCE REVIEW (NSR) REQUIREMENTS
Utah County is designated as a non-attainment area for PM2.5 and ozone (marginal). The county
is also in maintenance for PM10. All other pollutants are in attainment.
The prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) regulations codified in 40 CFR Part 52 apply to:
(1) a new major source that has the potential to emit 100 tons per year or more for any criteria
pollutant for a facility that is one of the 28 industrial source categories listed in 40 CFR §

52.21(b)(1)(i)(a); or (2) a new major source that has the potential to emit 250 tons per year or
more if the facility is not on the list of industrial source categories; or (3) a modification to an
existing major source that results in a net emission increase greater than a PSD significant
emission rate as specified in 40 CFR § 52.21 (b)(23)(i); or (4) a modification to an existing minor
source that is major in itself. The proposed permitting action does not trigger any PSD actions.
2.5 NEW SOURCES PERFORMANCE STANDARDS (NSPS)
New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) in 40 CFR Part 60 are applicable to new, modified, or
reconstructed stationary sources that meet or exceed specified applicability thresholds. 40 CFR
Part 60, Subpart JJJJ (Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion
Engines) is applicable to Springville due to the proposed five Caterpillar G3520H engines.
Springville will comply with all applicable requirements of the subpart.
2.6 ACID RAIN REQUIREMENTS
The acid rain requirements codified in 40 CFR Parts 72-78 apply only to utilities and other facilities
that combust fossil fuel and generate electricity for wholesale or retail sale. The Title IV Acid Rain
Program is for sources that use coal as a source of combustion and sources that produce over
25 MW of power. 40 CFR Part 72, Subpart 7, of the Acid Rain Program outlines exemption criteria
for new sources. A unit with a name plate of 25 MW or less, does not burn any coal or coal-
derived fuels and burns gaseous fuel with a sulfur content less than 0.05 percent. The largest unit
at the Springville facility is 7 MW (and will not operate greater than 5.5 MW). All units burn
exclusively low-sulfur natural gas or diesel (1% of the Enterprise units). Consequently, the acid
rain requirements do not apply to the Springville facility.
2.7 RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS FOR CHEMICAL ACCIDENTAL
RELEASE PREVENTION
The Springville facility is not subject to the Chemical Accidental Release Prevention Program and
will not be required to develop a Risk Management Plan (RMP). Facilities that produce, process,
store, or use any regulated toxic or flammable substance in excess of the thresholds listed in 40
CFR Part 68 must develop a n RMP. The facility does not store any regulated toxic or flammable
substances in excess of the applicable thresholds. A n RMP is not necessary for this facility.
2.8 STATE RULES
The Utah Division of Administrative Rules (DAR) promulgates several emissions regulations that
apply to Springville in addition to those listed above.

3.0 EMISSIONS SUMMARY
3.1 EMISSION CALCULATIONS
Emissions from all engines are calculated based on engines performance test results,
manufacturer specifications and AP-42 emission factors. NOx performance test data was
established in 2021 for each Enterprise engin e with a safety factor (increased to 1.485 g/kW-hr,
1.108 g/hp-hr). CO emissions are assumed to remain consistent with the current AO. 0.18 g/kW-hr
was applied in 2017 at 6,000 kW equated to 2.38 lb/hr and rounded to 2.5 lb/hr. At the proposed
5,500 kW maximum, 2.5 lb/hr corresponds to 0.206 g/kW-hr (0.154 g/hp-hr). All other pollutants
(PM10, SO2, VOC and HAPs) estimates were derived using AP -42, Section 3.2 and 3.4 for natural
gas-fired and diesel-fired engines combination based on a 99%/1% ratio .
The comparison of current (2017 AO) permitted emissions to projected PTE emissions from all
sources is given in Table 4. The primary changes are the NOx reduction from the Enterprise units,
the replacement of all K3-K7 units with new SCR-controlled cleaner CAT engines. It is unclear to
Springville and Stantec why the currently permitted VOC and especially the HAP emissions were
very low. Stantec requested an emissions inventory from UDAQ p rior to submittal, but that was
received in a format that allowed for no AO emission validation for pollutants other than NOx
and CO. Therefore, very conservative AP -42 emission factors were applied. If the same emission
factors were applied for the current AO with the assumption that the K1-K4 (all Enterprise)
operate 2,000 hr/yr, the expected VOC emissions would be 14.45 tpy. This is three 7,000 kW/hr
units and one at 5.1 kW/hr. Similarly, total HAP emissions expected for K1-K4 would be 7.11 tpy.
These va lues excluded engines K6 and K7 (2,403 kW uncontrolled). While it is unknown fully how
the AO values were derived, it is very likely that VOC/HAP increase illustrated in Table 4 is far
smaller if not a reduction in reality based on the proposed emissions. Regardless, NOx and CO
emissions, pollutant of most concern in the current AO are being reduced significantly.

3.2 EMISSION OFFSET CREDITS
Emission offset credits were evaluated based on the UDAQ Minor Source Offset Determination
Flow Chart 1. The project is not located in Davis or Salt Lake County. Therefore, ozone offsets are
not required. Because the facility is located in Utah County, PM10 offset evaluation is necessary.
The combined increase (change) of NOx + CO + PM10 equals -19.60 + -34.17 + 0.89 = -52.88 tpy.
As a result, offsets are not required.

5.0 AIR POLLUTION CONTROL EQUIPMENT INFORMATION
Natural Gas-fired Generators
The UDAQ currently has established the general BACT guidelines for NOx emissions from internal
combustions engines to be ≤1.0 g/hp-hr or compliant with 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart JJJJ Table 1
standards for non-emergency SI units. The new (K3-K7)engines covered in this NOI are below this
emissions level due to the SCR technology associated with the Caterpillar engines. These
engines will meet the BACT requirement for NOx without additional pollution control devices
being installed. Additionally, the BACT Clearinghouse was evaluated. Several determinations
were evaluated for Process Code 17.130 or natural gas internal combustion engines with greater
than 600 hp.
The State of Michigan issued a recent determination for a non -emergency unit on May 22, 2019,
to Mi chigan State University. The NOx BACT was set to 0.5 g/hp -hr. Other determinations in
California (2017 Gold Coast Packaging) and Kansas (2016 Mid-Kansas Electric Company) issued
limits of 5.0 ppmv and 2.13 lb/hr, respectively. Lastly, a determination in 2013 for the South Texas
Electric Cooperative issued a NOx limit of 0.084 g/hp -hr. As illustrated in the emission calculations
(Appendix C), Springville is proposing an emission factor of less than all of the above at 0.07
g/hp-hr for the five new engines adding an SCR. Therefore, the proposed limit meets BACT for
NOx.
Subpart JJJJ limits CO and VOC to 2.0 and 0.7 g/hp-hr, respectively. The determinations above
also limited CO and VOC to the following:
• Michigan State: CO 0.3 g/hp-hr; VOC 11 lb/hr
• Gold Coast Packaging: CO 54 ppmv; VOC 25 ppmv
• Mid-Kansas Electric Company: CO 3.86 lb/hr; VOC 5.82 lb/hr
• South Texas Electric Coop: CO 0.3 g/hp-hr; VOC 0.3 g/hp-hr
The five new engines adding the SCR will meet all of the previous BACT determinations and
Subpart JJJJ standards. The proposed limit amongst the five is 0.108 g/hp-hr for CO and 0.125
g/hp-hr for VOC. In addition to good combustion techniques, and the five instal led SCRs, OCs
will also be installed. The OC/SCRs will reduce the CO and formaldehyde emissions by 93% and
75%. VOCs will be reduced by 50%. Manufacturer specifications regarding the OC/SCR control is
available in Appendix F.

1.0 PURPOSE
This air quality modeling report documents the methodology used to prepare an air quality
analysis in support of a Utah Division of Air Quality (UDAQ) Notice of Intent (NOI) application for
a modification to their current A pproval Order (AO). The facility will now consist of two Enterprise
natural gas/diesel engines (K1&K2), five Caterpillar G3520H engines (K3-K7) and a 6 MMBtu/hr
natural gas boiler. UDAQ modeling personnel performed 1-hr NO2 analysis for the current AO in
2017. The proposed changes outlined in the NOI and in the section below prompted a
reassessment of 1-hr NO2 impacts associated with the project.
All pertinent, updated modeling-related files are provided in electronic format. This includes
AERMAP terrain information, BPIP downwash files, NED data and meteorological/background
data.
1.1 PROCESS DESCRIPTION
Springville Power currently consists of four Enterprise engines (three 7.0 MW, one 5.1 MW), two
2,403 kW 4-stroke lean burn natural gas engines and two boilers (2.5 and 6.0 MMBtu/hr). The
proposed changes will remove two of the Enterprise units (one 7.0 MW and the 5.1 MW), remove
the 2.5 MMBtu/hr boiler. The two remaining Enterprise engines will not exceed 5.5 MW and
emissions will be based on worst-case average 2021 test results amongst the two units plus a
safety factor . Unit K1 underwent three NOx test runs on December 1, 2021, with the average of
the three being 1.254 g/kW-hr, but scaled up to 1.485 g/kW-hr. This value was applied for both
Unit K1 and K2 emission calculations. Additionally, three new Caterpillar G3520H 4-stroke lean
burn natural gas units (K3-K5) will be added. Units K6 and K7 will remain and upscaled with new
software to account for new control equipment. Each of the Caterpillar engines will be
equipped with an oxidation catalyst and selective catalytic reduction (SCR). The 6.0 MMBtu/hr
boiler remains unchanged.
Three of the CAT engines (K5-K7) will be placed along the south side of the generation p lant. The
new CAT K4 will be equipped with a SCR/OC and moved 7 feet to the south from the
Enterprise’s current location. The new CAT K3 will also be equipped as a SCR/OC but remain in
the same location as the former Enterprise unit. A nearby facility, Pacific pipeline, was included
in the modeling analysis at the request of UDAQ. This was included from 2017 UDAQ modeling
conducted at the facility and has been applied without modification. Lastly, Springville owns the
property to the south of 700 N o rth. The property boundary has been adjusted to the incorporate
those parcels. In accordance with the Utah County assessor, three parcels are owned by
Springville that comprise approximately 13.23 acres. These parcels are now excluded from
ambient air (700 North remains part of ambient air). For details, refer to Appendix B of the Notice
of Intent.

2.0 MODEL DESCRIPTION/JUSTIFICATION
AERMOD is one of the most frequently used regulatory dispersion models in the United States
since it replaced ISCST3. Based on EPA guidance, AERMOD (version 22112) is the most
appropriate of the EPA-approved models, given the site’s physical characteristics and the
facility emission sources. AERMOD was applied as recommended in EPA’s Guideline on Air
Quality Models and consistent with guidance in UDAQ’s Modeling Guidelines. The BPIP Prime
building downwash algorithm was applied for the facility.
Terrain data were processed consistent with the approved model protocol and EPA guidance
for AERMAP. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Viewer was used to obtain
appropriate National Elevation Dataset (NED) data to establish proper elevations. Five years of
meteorological data from the Spanish Fork Airport (2004-2008) was provided by UDAQ for this
analysis. The model receptor network and model domain remain have been updated to reflect
the new property boundary, but the general configuration remains similar to past modeling
analyses for Springville Power.

3.0 EMISSION AND SOURCE DATA
The maximum annual hour usage was estimated to establish the potential emissions. Table 1
illustrates the projected NOX emission rates for all engines. All engine emission rates listed in Table
1 are based on 2021 performance test results for the Enterprise engines and manufacturer
information for the Caterpillar engines. The Enterprise engines have the capacity of running on
diesel fuel 1% of the time during typical operations. The NOx factors are from test data and
account for the 1% diesel. As stated above the worst-case average test results plus a safety
factor were 1.485 g/kw-hr. The maximum horsepower assumed for both Enterprise engines is
7,370 hp (5500 kW). This rate was applied to both units K1 and K2. 𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁2 𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙ℎ𝐸𝐸=1.485 𝑔𝑔𝑘𝑘𝑘𝑘ℎ𝐸𝐸∗5,500 𝑘𝑘𝑘𝑘÷ 453 .6 𝑔𝑔𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙=18 .01 𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙ℎ𝐸𝐸
All Caterpillar engine emissions are derived from specification data from the manufacturer. The
CAT G3520H units are 3,422 hp each at the site el evation. Each engine is specified to emit 1
g/hp-hr for NOx, but the SCR controls all NOx by 93% or a factor of 0.07 g/hp-hr. However, due to
a potential SCR startup time of 7 minutes, potential emission rates vary. Startup times for the CAT
engines will occur only from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM throughout the year. The startup emission rate is
calculated as follows: 𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶 𝑆𝑆𝐸𝐸𝑆𝑆𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁2 𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙ℎ𝐸𝐸=��1 .0 𝑔𝑔ℎ𝐸𝐸ℎ𝐸𝐸∗760 �+�0 .07 𝑔𝑔ℎ𝐸𝐸ℎ𝐸𝐸∗5360 ��∗3422ℎ𝐸𝐸∗𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙453 .6𝑔𝑔=1.347 𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙ℎ𝐸𝐸
All other hours are non-startup and are calculated with the 0.07g/hp -hr only, which equates to
0.528 lb/hr. The currently permitted 6 MMBtu/hr natural gas boiler remains unchanged and NOx
emissions are derived from AP-42, Section 1.4 and a natural gas heating value of 1,020 btu/scf. 𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐸𝐸𝑙𝑙𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁2 𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙ℎ𝐸𝐸=6.0 𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝐵𝐵𝐸𝐸𝑀𝑀ℎ𝐸𝐸∗100 𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝐸𝐸𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀∗𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝐵𝐵𝐸𝐸𝑀𝑀1020 𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝐸𝐸𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀=0.588 𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙ℎ𝐸𝐸

3.2 SOURCE CHARACTERIZATION
All emission sources are characterized as point sources. The following sections outline the
rationale and basis for all parameters.
3.2.1 Operational Schedule
All units are assumed to operate simultaneously other than the CAT start-up hours. These only
operate from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM daily.
3.2.2 Point Sources
There are thirteen point sources within Springville. All parameters shown below were either
derived from manufacturer specification sheets , calculations based on test data or consistent
with the 2017 modeling conducted by UDAQ. All parameters consistent with the boiler and the
two Enterprise engines are unchanged from the 2017 modeling other than the stack height of
the engines which were raised to 60 feet from ground level. All CAT parameters are directly from
the Safety Power data sheet (See Appendix F), or planned values as suggested by Wheeler
Power Systems (stack height and diameter).

4.0 RECEPTOR NETWORK
The facility is located in a rural area in Springville, Utah within Utah County . Consistent with
UDAQ Air Dispersion Modeling Guidance, the ambient air boundary used in this analysis is the
owned property boundary, which also serves as the Public Access B oundary (PAB). Springville
owns the area south of 700 No rth and can control access. Receptors along the PAB were
spaced at 25 meter increments. The PAB represents the limit of access by the public to the
project site. The receptor grid was established as follows:
• Receptors spaced at 25 meters along the PAB;
• Receptors spaced at 25 meters for the first 100 meters past the PAB;
• Receptors spaced at a density of one per 50 meters from 100 meters out to 350 meters
past the PAB;
• Receptors spaced at 100 meters from 350 out to 850 meters past the PAB ;
• Receptors spaced at 250 meters from 850 o ut to 1,850 meter s past the PAB ;

• Receptors spaced at 1 kilometer from 4.35 kilometers out to 7.35 kilometers past the PAB .
5.0 ELEVATION DATA
All source base and receptor elevations were calculated from USGS NED data obtained via the
National Map Viewer website using the Bee-Line BEEST preprocessing system. A 1/3 arc second
NED file was used in the analysis input and output files from AERMAP and will be included
submitted with the report.
6.0 METEOROLOGICAL DATA
Preprocessed AERMOD -ready meteorological files were obtained via the UDA Q Guideline
website 1. The data files cover the years 2004 through 2008 from the Spanish Fork Airport. The
hourly average data is from the National Weather Service (NWS) Automated Surface Observing
System (ASOS). The data presented by UDA Q is model -ready and was used without alteration or
processing. Although these data originated from UDAQ, it will be included as part of this
submittal.

7.0 LAND USE CLASSIFICATION
AERMOD includes rural and urban algorithm options. These options affect the wind speed
profile, dispersion rates, and mixing-height formula used in calculating ground-level pollutant
concentrations. A protocol was developed by USEPA to classify an area as either rural or urban
for dispersion modeling purposes. The classification is based on average heat flux, land use, or
population density within a three-km radius from the plant site. Of these techniques, the USEPA
has specified that land use is the most definitive criterion (USEPA, 1987). The urban/rural
classification scheme based on land use is as follows:
The land use within the total area, A0, circumscribed by a 3-km circle about the source, is
classified using the meteorological land use typing scheme proposed by Auer (1978).
The classification scheme requires that more than 50% of the area, A0, be from the
following land use types in order to be considered urban for dispersion modeling
purposes: heavy industrial (I1); light-moderate industrial (I2); commercial (C1); single-
family compact residential (R2); and multi-family compact residential (R3). Otherwise, the
use of rural dispersion coefficients is appropriate.
The Springville facility is located in a light industrial area, at Springville, Utah surrounded by
residential areas to the south and east. To the north is light industrial and agriculture land to the
west. S ite and map reconnaissance showed that the area A 0 within a 3-km radius of the source is
likely at or slightly above the 50% urban land use criteria necessary for use of urban dispersion
coefficients. Thus, they were applied in the dispersion modeling. The estimated 2022 population 2
of Springville of 35,832 was implemented. Default roughness was assumed.

8.0 BACKGROUND CONCENTRATIONS
NO2
Starting in 2018, NO2 and ozone monitors were placed in Spanish Fork (AQS Site ID 49-049-5010).
The AERMOD Wizard tool associated with the BEEST software was used to obtain three years of
NO2 and ozone data from the monitor. The years are 2019-2021. 2022 was not selected because
the tool doesn’t have the full year available for download. The data was then processed with the
tool to establish the appropriate 1-hr background values for both NO2 and ozone. The ozone data
completeness by quarter was 98.86% or greater for each of the three years (NO2 was 98.90%).
The 1st high values were determined for the temporal array flag of MHRDOW7 (month hour of day,
seven days per week). This was selected to allow for the most representative values throughout
the evaluation period. This is fairly consistent with the 2017 UDAQ modeling that used hourly files.
AERMOD input SO format files are provided as are text files. Note the NO2 file had missing data on
Friday hour 5 and Sunday hour 5 for all months. Similarly, the ozone file had missing data for
Saturday hour 5 for all months, but December. The average of the preceding and following
concentrations was applied for the missing data.
The ozone limiting method was applied as part of this analysis, again to remain consistent with
2017 modeling.
NO2 In-Stack Ratio
Lastly, a representative NO2/NOx in-stack ratio of 0.1 for each Enterprise engine and the boiler
was applied to remain consistent with the 2017 UDAQ modeling. The 0.1 is also a reasonable
value for natural gas combustion on average per the EPA In-stack Ratio database 3.
Lastly, an average of three Caterpillar G3520 engines as referenced in the EPA In-stack Rati o
database was applied for the G3520H units. This number is 0.1625 from previously tested units by
the Oklahoma DEQ.

9.0 RESULTS
The following sections outline the methods used to complete an ambient air impact analysis as a
result of the proposed Springville project.
9.1 APPLICABLE LIMITS
The air quality impact limits applicable to this analysis are the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS). NO2 uses the design value that is the 98th percentile averaged ov er three
years . That equates to a design value that is the 8th high over a five year period.
9.2 IMPACT
The tables shown below demonstrate that there is no exceedance of the 1-hr NO2 NAAQS
standards due to the proposed operation of the facility.
