Project Proposal Administrative Amendment to Approval Order DAQE-AN130310012-15 to Update Description of Equipment
Project Description PacifiCorp intends to upgrade the existing combustion turbines and install ultra-low NOx burners
on Block 1 of its Lake Side Power Plant. These upgrades will increase fuel burn efficiency, decrease minimum operating levels, and provide the capability to incorporate 30% hydrogen co-firing. The plant will continue to operate Block 1 within the current emission limitations in the
Title V Operating Permit, Approval Order DAQE-AN0 1303100012-15, and relevant State Implementation Plans.

Review of BACT for New/Modified Emission Units 1. BACT review regarding for Block 1 combustion turbines
PacifiCorp is proposing to install new Siemens Energy ultra-low NOx combustion hardware and perform other turbine upgrades on the Lake Side Block 1 combustion turbines. The technology upgrades will increase combustion fuel flows through a different aerodynamic profile than that of
the current turbine section. The ultra-low NOx upgrade will add an additional fuel stage with a change in all combustor hardware. The upgrade in technology will allow for improved power and efficiency benefits, reduced fuel consumption per generated power, and capability to operate the combustion turbines on up to 30 percent hydrogen in the future. In addition to combustion controls, emissions from Block 1 combustion turbines/heat recovery steam generators (CT/HRSGs) will continue to be controlled with selective catalytic reduction and catalytic oxidation systems. PacifiCorp is not proposing changes to these control systems.
Although there is no change in emissions, the installation of the new combustion design could represent a change in the method of operation of the Block 1 turbines. PacifiCorp is subject to both lowest achievable emission rate (LAER) controls under nonattainment area major NSR as well as SIP source BACT under the requirements of the Provo, Utah PM2.5 Nonattainment Area SIP. Therefore, a BACT review is required to determine if the changes are equivalent to the existing control systems. The discussion of BACT in the technical support documents for the SIP describe the Block 1 turbines as follows: ". . . the turbines installed at the LSPP are all based around a dry-low-NOx combustor. This particular system is a lean pre-mix burner design, which uses a combination of staged combustion and differing fuel-air mixing for each combustion stage to both lower the combustion temperature and still allow for complete combustion."
The original LAER determination included similar language to describe the Block 1 turbines.
There is no change in post combustion controls being proposed. UDAQ has reviewed the
documentation submitted by PacifiCorp and agrees that the new combustion configuration and burner design continues to represent LAER and BACT. PacifiCorp will meet the same emission limits established as LAER and BACT. [Last updated January 29, 2025]

II.B.3.e Compliance with the 3-hour NOx and CO emission limitations specified in Condition II.B.3.b shall not be required during short-term excursions, limited to a cumulative total of 160 hours per rolling 12-month period. Short-term excursions are defined as 15-minute periods
designated by the Owner/Operator that are the direct result of transient load conditions, not to exceed four consecutive 15-minute periods, when the 15-minute average NOx and CO concentrations exceed 2.0 ppmv and 3.0 ppmv, dry @ 15% O2, respectively. Transient load
conditions include the following:
1. Initiation/shutdown of combustion turbine inlet air-cooling 2. Rapid combustion turbine load changes 3. Initiation/shutdown of HRSG duct burners 4. Provision of Ancillary Services and Automatic Generation Control
During periods of transient load conditions, the NOx concentration shall not exceed 25 ppmv
and the CO concentration shall not exceed 50 ppmv, dry @ 15% O2. All NOx and CO emissions during these events shall be included in all calculations of annual mass emissions as required by this permit. [R307-401-8]
II.B.3.f Steady state operation means all periods of combustion turbine operation, except for periods of startup and shutdown as defined below, and periods of transient load conditions as defined in Condition II.B.3.e. Startup is defined as the period beginning with turbine initial firing
until the unit meets the ppmvd emission limits in the first table of Condition II.B.3.b for steady state operation. Shutdown is defined as the period beginning with the initiation of turbine shutdown sequence and ending with the cessation of firing of the gas turbine engine. Startup and shutdown events shall not exceed 553.6 hours per turbine per rolling 12-month period. Total startup and shutdown events shall not exceed 8 hours per turbine in any one calendar day, commencing at midnight.
Emissions of NOx from either Block #2 CT/HRSG unit (CT #3 or #4) shall not exceed 130
lb/hr during startup or shutdown operations.
Emissions of CO from either Block #2 CT/HRSG unit (CT #3 or #4) shall not exceed 3,000 lb/hr during startup or shutdown operations. [R307-401-8]
II.B.3.g Total CO2e emissions from Lake Side Block 2 shall not exceed 950 lb/MWh(g) on a 12-month rolling average basis. Hourly heat input for each turbine and the HSRG will be obtained from the data submitted to the Acid Rain database and summed over the appropriate 12-month period. This total heat input will then be multiplied by an emission factor of 121.723 lb CO2e/MMBtu to obtain the total CO2e emissions during the 12-month period. The 12-month gross generation for each turbine and HSRG will be obtained from the data reported to the Acid Rain database. This hourly generation will be summed over the twelve-month period to
obtain the total gross generation. The CO2e per MWH(g) value is calculated by dividing the 12-month total CO2e emissions by the 12-month total gross generation. [R307-401-8] II.B.4 Conditions on Additional Equipment II.B.4.a Emergency generators shall be used for electricity producing operation only during the periods when electric power from the public utilities is interrupted, and for regular maintenance and

Introduction
On behalf of PacifiCorp, Jacobs Project Management Co. has prepared this Notice of Intent (NOI)
application to modify the Lake Side Power Plant Approval Order (AO) DAQE-AN01303100012-15. As part
of improvements to the plant, PacifiCorp is proposing to install new Siemens Energy ultra-low nitrogen
oxide (NOx) combustion hardware and perform other turbine upgrades on the Lake Side Block 1
combustion turbines in early 2025. The Lake Side Power Plant is a prevention of significant deterioration
(PSD) major source located in Vineyard, Utah County, Utah.
Process Description
PacifiCorp is proposing to install new Siemens Energy ultra-low NOx combustion hardware and perform
other turbine upgrades on the Lake Side Block 1 combustion turbines. The technology upgrades will
increase combustion fuel flows through a different aerodynamic profile than that of the current turbine
section. The ultra-low NOx upgrade will add an additional fuel stage with a change in all combustor
hardware. The upgrade in technology will allow for improved power and efficiency benefits, reduction in
carbon footprint through reduced fuel consumption per generated power, and capability to operate the
combustion turbines on up to 30 percent hydrogen in the future.
In addition to combustion controls, emissions from Block 1 combustion turbines/heat recovery steam
generators (CT/HRSGs) will continue to be controlled with selective catalytic reduction and catalytic
oxidation systems. PacifiCorp is not proposing changes to these state-of-the-art control systems.
Emissions Information
The installation of new Siemens Energy ultra-low NOx combustion hardware is expected to reduce
emissions. Post combustion emissions from the Block 1 turbines and HRSGs are controlled with a selective
catalytic reduction system for NOx and a catalytic oxidation system for carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile
organic compounds (VOCs). Both of these state-of-the-art control systems will continue to operate and
minimize emissions from Block 1.
After the above-mentioned upgrades, PacifiCorp will continue to operate the Block 1 turbines and HRSGs
within the emissions limitations listed in the Title V Operating Permit, AO, and relevant State
Implementation Plans. Table 1 summarizes emissions as permitted in the current AO and those expected
after the proposed modification. The permitted emissions outlined in Table 1 are included in AO
Condition II.B.2.b.

ppmvd = parts per million by volume, dry
Emissions of VOCs, SO2 and PM2.5 will continue to remain at permitted levels. Emissions from the
May 20, 2004, Block 1 NOI application (Table 3-5) and those after the proposed modification are
presented in Table 2.

Notes:
PM2.5 = particulate matter less than 2.5 micrometers in aerodynamic diameter
SO2 = sulfur dioxide
Emissions associated with startup and shutdown as well as annual operating scenarios are not expected to
change with this proposed modification.
Because no change is expected, the proposed project will be permitted as a modification to the AO without
an increase in emissions.
Regulatory Review
The proposed project involves a modification to an existing installation. The air quality regulation, codified
in Title R307 of the Utah Administrative Code (UAC), applicable to this NOI is R307-401 – Permit: Notice
of Intent and Approval Order.
According to R307-401, any person planning to make modifications to or relocate an existing installation
that will or might reasonably be expected to increase the amount of or change the character or effect of
air pollutants discharged shall submit a NOI to the director and receive an AO prior to the construction,
modification, installation, establishment, or relocation of an air pollutant source or indirect source. The
NOI shall include all information listed under R307-401-5(2) to determine whether the proposed
modification will be in accordance with applicable requirements of these rules. Within 30 days after receipt
of a NOI, or any additional information necessary to the review, the director will advise the applicant of any
deficiency in the NOI or the information submitted. Within 90 days after the receipt of a complete
application, including all information described in R307-401-5, the director will either issue an AO from
the proposed modification or issue an order prohibiting the proposed modification if it is determined that
any part of the proposal will not be in accord with requirements of Title R307.
This NOI application has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of UAC R307-401.

Control Technology Discussion
The Lake Side Power Plant is a major PSD source as outlined in the AO. Block 1 was permitted in 2004 at
which time Utah County was designated as a nonattainment area for the 24-hour PM10 standard. The
County was designated as attainment or unclassified for all other pollutants in 2004. The permit
application submitted in 2004 demonstrated that CT/HRGs in Block 1 will meet the lowest achievable
emission rate (LAER) for NOx and PM10 and BACT for CO, VOC, and SO2. LAER and BACT determinations for
Block 1 are outlined in Table 3.

Currently, Utah County is designated as a maintenance area for the 24-hour PM10 standard and a
nonattainment area for the 24-hour PM2.5 standard. Because previous LAER and BACT determinations
were relied upon by the Division of Air Quality during the development of applicable State Implementation
Plans, Lake Side Block 1 will continue to meet these previously established BACT and LAER
determinations.
