General Description
Hill Air Force Base (Hill AFB) is a major U.S. Air Force base located in northern Utah, just south of the
city of Ogden. Hill AFB is the home of the Air Force Materiel Command's Ogden Air Logistics Complex,
which is the worldwide manager for a wide range of aircraft, engines, missiles, software, avionics, and
accessory components.

Project Description
Hill AFB is requesting to add a third burnout oven to the Engine Test Stands AO. There is no change in
workload, and the natural gas rolling 12-month is not increasing. The third oven is needed to support the
existing workload when the two current burnout ovens are out of service for maintenance.
On October 31, 2019, Hill AFB submitted a notification of a reduction in air pollutants to the Utah
Division of Air Quality for the replacement of AQUIS ID 38106 rated at 0.75 MMBtu/hr with a smaller
burnout oven. These changes are being incorporated into this permit change.
Process Description
Load Testing of Generators
The load bank is used for testing the completed mobile generator unit after repair/overhaul. The
generators use diesel fuel.
Burn-off ovens
The burn-off ovens are used to burn off coating and debris from the electrical generator components.
Emission factors include combustion products and emissions from material being burned off. The lb/hr
emission factors represent the burn-off cycle. Hill AFB tracks operating hours and then calculates gas
consumption using burner ratings and altitude adjustments.
IC engine/turbine test stands
Test stands will be used to test engines being repaired/overhauled. It is assumed that emissions from JP-8
are 0.053 weight percent (from Defense Logistics Agency, Defense Energy Support Center, Petroleum
Quality Information System Fuel Data [1998-2009]). The initial puff of smoke is the result of residual oil
in the cylinders after repair and is insufficient and unquantifiable.
Basic Expeditionary Air Field and Resources (BEAR) power unit load test system
The additional load testing operation is needed to support the BEAR weapon system diesel-fired support
units. The BEAR engines are reworked and then connected to an existing dyno test stand. After passing
dyno testing, the engine will be reinstalled in the reworked generator, and the power unit will be tested to
ensure it works. After passing this testing, the power unit will be connected to the new load testing system
to ensure the rework unit can meet the load requirements in the field. Multiple load test rates are required
for military specifications.
SUMMARY OF EMISSIONS
The emissions listed below are an estimate of the total potential emissions from the source. Some
rounding of emissions is possible.

REVIEWER COMMENTS
1. Comment regarding Emission Estimates: The NOx emissions for the new and updated ovens used AP-42, Table 1.4-1 'Emission Factors for Nitrogen Oxides from Natural Gas Combustion' for small boilers. The uncontrolled emission factor of 100 lb/MMscf was used for Oven 1 (AQ ID 34356). The controlled - low NOx burners emission factor of 50 lb/MMscf was used for Ovens 2 and 3. The 10.78 MMSCF/yr natural gas limit will remain the same. [Last updated July 31, 2024] 2. Comment regarding Emissions Reduction: The NOx PTE emissions for natural gas combustion in the existing burnout ovens are based on burnout ovens without NOx controls or low NOx controls. The 2019 replacement burnout oven and the new requested third burnout oven are equipped with low NOx controls. The NOx PTE emissions
were recalculated with the replaced and new low NOx burners on the burnout ovens which results in a reduction in NOx emissions. [Last updated August 1, 2024]
3. Comment regarding Project Type: This permit change is being conducted as a Reduction of Air Pollutants UAC R307-401-12. NOx
emissions are reducing, and all other emissions are remaining the same in this permit change. The new and updated burnout ovens have been installed with low NOx controls and the natural gas limit remains the same. [Last updated July 31, 2024] 4. Comment regarding Replacement in Kind: On 31 October 2019, Hill AFB submitted a notification to the Utah Division of Air Quality for the replacement of Oven-2 (AQUIS ID 38106) rated at 0.75 MMBtu/hr with a smaller burnout oven. The new oven, AQ ID 45018, is rated at 0.283 MMBtu/hr and has low NOx burners. This equipment change was conducted as a Replacement in Kind Equipment UAC R307-401-11 and is being updated in this administrative Amendment. [Last updated July 31, 2024] 5. Comment regarding Applicable Regulations: Hill AFB is subject to MACT 40 CFR 63, Subpart GG, National Emission Standards for Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Facilities and UAC R307-355. This operation and equipment are not
subject to 40 CFR 63, Subpart GG. Hill AFB is subject UAC R307-355 "Control of Emissions from Aerospace Manufacture and Rework Facilities". [Last updated July 31, 2024]
6. Comment regarding De-aggregate: Hill AFB is classified as a major source of air pollution and subject to the Operating Permit Program. Hill AFB is a SIP-listed source, a major source for VOC and PM10, and a PSD source for
NOx and CO. Hill AFB has multiple active AOs but only one Title V permit. Hill AFB is a military air force base and governed under the Department of Defense (DOD). It is not required (for military)
Engineer Review N101210294: Hill Air Force Base- Main Base August 21, 2024 Page 10
nor needed to combine all the approval orders as the Title V is the combined permit. Hill AFB is classified as if all the permits were combined, and all projects and pollutants are looked as though
they were one permit. For this reason, the source is allowed to de-aggregate. [Last updated July 31, 2024] 7. Comment regarding SIP Listed Source: Hill AFB is a listed major source with conditions in Part H.12.n of the PM2.5 Serious Nonattainment SIP. The PM2.5 Serious Nonattainment SIP has been approved by the Air Quality Board but has not been approved by Region 8 EPA. The PM2.5 Serious Nonattainment SIP conditions have been incorporated into the current appropriate AOs. This process was reviewed in the SIP analysis, but no conditions were assigned to this operation/AO. No additional SIP /permitting action is required for the addition of the new diesel fuel storage tank. [Last updated July 31, 2024]
8. Comment regarding Permit Change: The addition of the equipment (Oven-3) is the only change to the permit. No new conditions were added since the fuel consumption limit is not changing. [Last updated August 1, 2024]

SOURCE DESCRIPTION General Description
Hill Air Force Base (Hill AFB) is a major U.S. Air Force base located in northern Utah, just south of the city of Ogden. Hill AFB is the home of the Air Force Materiel Command's Ogden Air Logistics Complex which is the worldwide manager for a wide range of aircraft, engines,
missiles, software, avionics, and accessories components. NSR Classification: Administrative Amendment Source Classification Located in, Davis County Airs Source Size: A Applicable Federal Standards MACT (Part 63), A: General Provisions

Project Proposal Administrative Amendment to Approval Order to DAQE-AN101210261-18, to Update
Equipment List Project Description Project Description Hill AFB is requesting to add a third burnout oven to the Engine Test Stands AO. There is no change in workload and the natural gas rolling 12-month is not increasing. The third oven is
needed to support the existing workload when the two current burnout ovens are out of service for maintenance. On 31 October 2019, Hill AFB submitted a notification of a reduction in air pollutants to the Utah Division of Air Quality for the replacement of AQUIS ID 38106 rated at 0.75 MMBtu/hr with a smaller burnout oven. These changes are being incorporated into this permit change. Process Description
Load Testing of Generators The load bank is used for testing of completed mobile generator unit after repair/overhaul. The generators use diesel fuel.
Burn-off ovens The burn-off ovens are used to burn off coating and debris from the electrical generator components. Emission factors include combustion products and emissions from material being burned off. The lb/hr emission factors represent the burn-off cycle. Hill tracks operating hours and then calculates gas consumption using burner ratings and altitude adjustments.
IC engine/turbine test stands Test stands will be used to test engines being repaired/overhauled. It is assumed that emissions from JP-8 are 0.053 weight percent (from Defense Logistics Agency, Defense Energy Support
Engineer Review N101210294: Hill Air Force Base- Main Base August 21, 2024 Page 4
Center, Petroleum Quality Information System Fuel Data [1998-2009]). The initial puff of smoke is the result of residual oil in the cylinders after repair and is insufficient and unquantifiable.
Basic Expeditionary Air Field and Resources (BEAR) power units load test system The additional load testing operation is needed to support the BEAR weapon system diesel-fired support units. The BEAR engines are reworked and then connected to an existing dyno test stand. After passing dyno testing, the engine will be reinstalled in the reworked generator and the power unit will be tested to ensure it works. After passing this testing, the power unit will be connected to the new load testing system to ensure the rework unit can meet the load requirements in the field. Multiple load test rates are required for military specifications. EMISSION IMPACT ANALYSIS This administrative amendment does not involve any new or increasing air pollutants. No modeling is required as per R307-410-4 or R307-410-5 since the emission rate is decreasing. [Last updated July 31, 2024]

REVIEWER COMMENTS
1. Comment regarding Emission Estimates: The NOx emissions for the new and updated ovens used AP-42, Table 1.4-1 'Emission Factors for Nitrogen Oxides from Natural Gas Combustion' for small boilers. The uncontrolled emission factor of 100 lb/MMscf was used for Oven 1 (AQ ID 34356). The controlled - low NOx burners emission factor of 50 lb/MMscf was used for Ovens 2 and 3. The 10.78 MMSCF/yr natural gas limit will remain the same. [Last updated July 31, 2024] 2. Comment regarding Emissions Reduction: The NOx PTE emissions for natural gas combustion in the existing burnout ovens are based on burnout ovens without NOx controls or low NOx controls. The 2019 replacement burnout oven and the new requested third burnout oven are equipped with low NOx controls. The NOx PTE emissions
were recalculated with the replaced and new low NOx burners on the burnout ovens which results in a reduction in NOx emissions. [Last updated August 1, 2024]
3. Comment regarding Project Type: This permit change is being conducted as a Reduction of Air Pollutants UAC R307-401-12. NOx
emissions are reducing, and all other emissions are remaining the same in this permit change. The new and updated burnout ovens have been installed with low NOx controls and the natural gas limit remains the same. [Last updated July 31, 2024] 4. Comment regarding Replacement in Kind: On 31 October 2019, Hill AFB submitted a notification to the Utah Division of Air Quality for the replacement of Oven-2 (AQUIS ID 38106) rated at 0.75 MMBtu/hr with a smaller burnout oven. The new oven, AQ ID 45018, is rated at 0.283 MMBtu/hr and has low NOx burners. This equipment change was conducted as a Replacement in Kind Equipment UAC R307-401-11 and is being updated in this administrative Amendment. [Last updated July 31, 2024] 5. Comment regarding Applicable Regulations: Hill AFB is subject to MACT 40 CFR 63, Subpart GG, National Emission Standards for Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Facilities and UAC R307-355. This operation and equipment are not
subject to 40 CFR 63, Subpart GG. Hill AFB is subject UAC R307-355 "Control of Emissions from Aerospace Manufacture and Rework Facilities". [Last updated July 31, 2024]
6. Comment regarding De-aggregate: Hill AFB is classified as a major source of air pollution and subject to the Operating Permit Program. Hill AFB is a SIP-listed source, a major source for VOC and PM10, and a PSD source for
NOx and CO. Hill AFB has multiple active AOs but only one Title V permit. Hill AFB is a military air force base and governed under the Department of Defense (DOD). It is not required (for military)
Engineer Review N101210294: Hill Air Force Base- Main Base August 21, 2024 Page 10
nor needed to combine all the approval orders as the Title V is the combined permit. Hill AFB is classified as if all the permits were combined, and all projects and pollutants are looked as though
they were one permit. For this reason, the source is allowed to de-aggregate. [Last updated July 31, 2024] 7. Comment regarding SIP Listed Source: Hill AFB is a listed major source with conditions in Part H.12.n of the PM2.5 Serious Nonattainment SIP. The PM2.5 Serious Nonattainment SIP has been approved by the Air Quality Board but has not been approved by Region 8 EPA. The PM2.5 Serious Nonattainment SIP conditions have been incorporated into the current appropriate AOs. This process was reviewed in the SIP analysis, but no conditions were assigned to this operation/AO. No additional SIP /permitting action is required for the addition of the new diesel fuel storage tank. [Last updated July 31, 2024]
8. Comment regarding Permit Change: The addition of the equipment (Oven-3) is the only change to the permit. No new conditions were added since the fuel consumption limit is not changing. [Last updated August 1, 2024]

Attention: NSR
P.O. Box 144820
Salt Lake City, Utah 84114-4820
Dear Director
Hill Air Force Base (AFB) is submitting this request for an administrative amendment to approval
order (AO) DAQE-AN101210261-18 to incorporate a burnout oven replacement submitted in 2019, add a
third bake oven and update the potential to emit (PTE) emissions. A redline of DAQE-AN101210261-18
with the requested changes is included as Attachment 1.
On 31 October 2019, Hill AFB submitted a request to the Utah Division of Air Quality for the
replacement of AQUIS ID 38106 rated at 0.75 MMBtu/hr with a smaller burnout oven. The new oven,
AQ ID 45018, is rated at 0.283 MMBtu/hr and has low NOx burners. The information of Oven-2 in
Section II.A of the permit needs to be updated with the new burnout oven details.
Hill AFB is requesting to add a third burnout oven. There is no change in workload and an
increase in the 12-month rolling total natural gas usage is not being requested. The third oven is needed
to support the existing workload when the two current burnout ovens are out of service for maintenance.
The new burnout oven will have the following specifications:
Manufacturer: Steelman Industries
Model: 555 BA-E
NOx control: low NOx burners
Oven type: 2-stage
Oven rating: 0.52 MMBtu/hr
The oxides of nitrogen (NOx) PTE emissions for natural gas combustion that are in the permit are
based on burnout ovens without NOx controls or low NOx technology. The 2019 replacement burnout
oven and the third burnout oven are equipped with low NOx technology. The NOx PTE emissions were
recalculated to take into account the low NOx burners. The calculations utilize EPA AP-42 emission
factors. Detailed NOx emission calculations for natural gas combustion are provided Attachment 2. PTE
emissions for the AO are provided in the following table.

The changes proposed in this NOI do not result in a major modification. Therefore, the
requirements of Utah Administrative Code (UAC) R307-403, R307-405, R307-406 and R307-420 do not
apply. Criteria pollutant modeling is not required because there are no emission increases resulting from
this project. Additionally, a HAP screening analysis under R307-410-5(1)(c) was not conducted as there
are no HAP emission increases.
The new burnout oven is not subject to any New Source Performance Standards or National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants. The burnout oven will comply with the 12-month
rolling total limit for natural gas usage in Condition II.B.19.a of the Hill AFB Main Base Title V
Operating Permit (TVOP). Best available control technology (BACT) for the burnout oven has been
determined to be low NOx burners, good combustion practices, operation / maintenance in accordance
with manufacturer’s instructions and the use of pipeline quality natural gas. A BACT determination for
the new burnout oven is included as Attachment 3.
Hill AFB requests an administrative modification to DAQE-AN101210261-18 via R307-401-12
‘Reduction of Air Pollutants’, as the changes proposed in this request result in an emission reduction. If
you have any questions or would like to discuss this issue further, my point of contact is Dr. Erik

Hill Air Force Base (Hill AFB) has requested an Administrative Amendment to the Engine Test Stands AO DAQE-AN10121024861-178, to add equipment for a second load testing operation and update emissions to include ammonia and update greenhouse gas emissions third burnout oven, incorporate a burnout oven replacement done in 2019 via UAC R307-401-12 “Reduction of Air Pollutants” and update the emissions for NOX. The additional load testing operation is needed to support the new Basic Expeditionary Air Field and Resources Weapon System diesel-fired support units. The new workload requires load testing systems to ensure the reworked units can meet the specific load military standards. The PTE emissions have been updated to include ammonia emissions and updated greenhouse gas
emissions for natural gas have been updated to incorporate low NOX burners. This permit change is
being conducted as an administrative amendment under UAC R307-401-12, "Reduction of Air
Pollutants". The ammonia emissions are assumed to be in the process but were not accounted for in the
permit until now. Updating the emissions will change the PTE emission as follows (in TPY): -0.34
PM10, -0.34 PM2.5 (a subset of PM10),-0.14 SOX, -0.07 VOC, -10 CO2e and 0.03 ammonia-0.16 NOX. The PTE emissions are as follows (in TPY):0.93 PM10, 0.93 PM2.5 (a subset of PM10), 13.1903 NOX, 3.40 CO, 0.04 SOX, 2.08 VOC, 0.02 combined HAPs, 1160 CO2e and 0.03 ammonia.
This AO is subject to 40 CFR 63 NESHAP Subpart A and PPPPP "NESHAP for Engine Test Cells/ Stands", however, there are no applicable requirements for these processes. The AO is not subject to any other federal standards of 40 CFR 60, 61, or 63. Hill AFB is classified as a major source of air pollution and subject to the Operating Permit Program. Hill AFB is a major source for VOC, HAP, GHG, PM2.5 and PM10, and a PSD source for NOx and CO. The Title V permit will be administratively amended to incorporate the conditions of this AO. Hill AFB is located in Davis County which is a NAA for PM2.5 and ozone, and an attainment area for all other criteria pollutants. Hill AFB is also located in Weber County which is NAA for PM2.5 and ozone and an attainment area for all other criteria pollutants.
This air quality AO authorizes the project with the following conditions and failure to comply with any of the conditions may constitute a violation of this order. This AO is issued to, and applies to the following:

Attachment 3: BACT Determination
To evaluate the appropriate best available control technology (BACT) for the proposed
burnout oven, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s Reasonably Available Control
Technology (RACT)-BACT-Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER) Clearinghouse (RBLC)
was reviewed. The RBCL provides listings of emission control determinations made by state
and local air pollution control agencies as well as the regional EPA offices and includes control
technologies and/or work practices that may be suitable for each process type code. In addition
to the RBLC, other sources including control equipment vendors, published literature and
previous Utah Division of Air Quality BACT determinations. The following is a list of control
technologies identified.
1) EPA’s RBLC was reviewed and no process-specific control technologies were
identified for the burnout oven.
2) Good Combustion Practices: Includes official documentation and training in
operating and maintenance procedure, including procedures for startup, shutdown
and malfunction; routine inspection and preventative maintenance procedures;
equipment overhaul and include recordkeeping of operating logs and maintenance
records. Good combustion practices reduce emissions of all criteria pollutants.
3) Utah Administrative Code (UAC) R307-401-4(3)‘General Requirements: Low
Oxides of Nitrogen Burner Technology’: R307-401-4(3)(a) requires installation
of low oxides of nitrogen burners or equivalent oxides of nitrogen controls
whenever fuel combustion burners are replaced (unless, approved by the Director,
when such equipment is not physically practical or cost effective). The burnout
oven is equipped with low oxide of nitrogen burners.
Based on the review of control technologies considered BACT for boilers, Hill AFB has
determined the following meets BACT requirements for the new burnout oven:
1) Low NOX burner technology
2) Operate and maintain in according to the manufacturer’s instructions
3) Good combustion practices
4) Use of pipeline quality natural gas
