Dear Mr. Dalton:
Re: Intermountain Power Service Corporation (IPSC) – Pretest Protocol for Carbon Dioxide
(CO2), Flow, Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Oxygen (O2), and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Relative
Accuracy Test – Millard County
The Utah Division of Air Quality (DAQ) reviewed IPSC’s pretest protocol dated March 27, 2025.
The proposed test shall be performed under the following conditions:
IPSC’s monitoring system to be certified:
Source Channel Manufacturer Model # Monitor SN Low Range High Range
Unit 1 Inlet SO2 TECO 43i 534613720 500 ppm 1000 ppm
CO2 TECO 410i 834333318 20%
Unit 1
SO2 TECO 43i 534613714 50 1000 ppm
NOx TECO 42i 534613722 500 ppm 1000 ppm
CO2 TECO 410i 834333319 20%
Unit 2 Inlet SO2 TECO 43i 534613725 500 ppm 1000 ppm
CO2 TECO 410i 834333317 20%
Unit 2
SO2 TECO 43i 534613718 50 1000 ppm
NOx TECO 42i 534613723 500 ppm 1000 ppm
CO2 TECO 410i 834333320 20%
IPSC and Catalyst Air Management, Inc. will conduct a relative accuracy/performance
specification test on IPSC’s continuous monitoring system.

Relative accuracy must be determined in the units of the emission standard or equivalent units of
the emission standard, i.e., tons/year shall be tested in pounds/hour.
The DAQ understands that testing will be conducted as follows:
Test Date Point Source Parameter EPA Reference Method
May 15-19, 2025 Unit 1 & 2 Stack CO2, Flow, NOx,
and SO2
Method 1, 2, 2F, and/or
2G, 2H, 3A, 4, 6C, 7E, and
19
Unit 1 & 2 Inlet CO2 and SO2 Method 1, 3A, 6C, and 19
• Reference Method 1 - Sample and Velocity Traverses for Stationary Point Sources
as outlined in 40 CFR 60 Appendix A shall be used to determine the location and
number of sampling points as applicable.
• For single point sampling. At the commencement of testing a stratification test
shall be performed in accordance with 40 CFR 60 Method 7E § 8.1.2, or 40 CFR
75 App. A § 6.5.6.1 through § 6.5.6.3 as applicable.
• Reference Method 2G - Determination of Stack Gas Velocity and Volumetric Flow
Rate with Two-Dimensional Probes as outlined in 40 CFR 60 Appendix A.
• Reference Method 2H - Determination of Stack Gas Velocity Taking into Account
Velocity Decay Near the Stack Wall as outlined in 40 CFR 60 Appendix A.
• Reference Method 3A - Determination of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
Concentrations in Emissions from Stationary Point Sources – (Instrumental
Analyzer Procedure) as outlined in 40 CFR 60 Appendix A.
• Reference Method 4 - Determination of Moisture Content in Stack Gases as
outlined in 40 CFR 60 Appendix A shall be used to determine the stack gas
moisture content.
• Reference Method 6C - Determination of Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from
Stationary Point Sources - (Instrumental Analyzer Procedure) as outlined in 40
CFR 60 Appendix A.
• Reference Method 7E - Determination of Nitrogen Oxide Emissions from
Stationary Point Sources - (Instrumental Analyzer Procedure) as outlined in 40
CFR 60 Appendix A.
• Reference Method 19 - Determination of Sulfur Dioxide Removal Efficiency and
Particulate Matter, Sulfur Dioxide, and Nitrogen Oxides Emission Rates as
outlined in 40 CFR 60 Appendix A.

• Deviations - The Director or the representative of the Director must be notified of
and approve deviations of the Reference Method test. Any deviation from these
conditions without approval from the DAQ may constitute rejection of these tests.
Acceptance of a protocol does not relieve the owner/operator and the testing
contractor from strict adherence to all applicable EPA methods, DAQ policies,
Utah Air Quality Rules (UAQR), and methods approved by the Director. Any
deviation from EPA methods, DAQ policies, UAQR, and methods approved by the
Director must be addressed separately and express written consent given prior to
commencement of testing.
• Field data (Point Source emission data and test data) shall be turned over to the
DAQ in a timely manner for review.
• The Director will determine the relative accuracy of each monitoring system based
on Point Source continuous emission monitoring data and test data acquired by the
staff member of the DAQ during the test.
• All test reports must be submitted to the Director not later than 60 days after
completion of the test.
• The test report shall include all raw calibration data, raw emission data with date,
time stamps.
Relative accuracy test reports must contain:
1. Point source continuous monitor, channel, manufacturer, and serial number,
2. Raw stack test data and continuous monitor data with date and time stamps.
3. Emission data reported in concentration (ppm or %) and units in the applicable
emission limit.
The DAQ requires that all test reports include a statement signed by a responsible official
certifying that:
1. Testing was conducted while the Point Source was operating at the rate and/or
conditions specified in the applicable approval order, operating permit, or federal
regulation.
2. During testing, the Point Source combusted fuels, used raw materials, and
maintained process conditions representative of normal operations, and operated
under such other relevant conditions specified by the Director.
3. Based on information and belief formed after reasonable inquiry, the statements
and information contained in the report are true, accurate, and complete.
