SECTION II: SPECIAL PROVISIONS
II.B REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS
II.B.1 Site Wide Requirements
II.B.1.a Visible emissions from the six (6) diesel-fired emergency generators shall be no greater than 20
percent opacity, except for a period not exceeding three (3) minutes in any hour. The permittee
shall apply one (1) of the following monitoring techniques to each affected emission unit when in
operation.
A. Monthly visual opacity survey conducted by an individual trained on the
observation procedures of 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 9. If any visible
emissions other than condensed water vapor are observed from an emission
point, an opacity determination of that emission point shall be performed in
accordance with 40 CFR 60, Method 9 within 24 hours of the initial visual
opacity survey or upon start-up if the unit must be shut down for maintenance. If
the unit must be permanently removed from service, no follow-up opacity
determination is required.
B. Quarterly photogrametric opacity observations conducted by an individual
trained on the observation procedures of 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 9. If
an opacity of 15 percent or more is detected by the photogrametric analysis, an
opacity determination of that emission point shall be performed in accordance
with 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 9 within 24 hours of the initial
photogrametric opacity observation or upon startup if the unit must be shut down
for maintenance. If the unit must be permanently removed from service, no
follow-up opacity determination is required.
C. An annual opacity determination performed in accordance with 40 CFR 60,
Appendix A, Method 9.
The monitoring option selected can vary from unit to unit. For example, if
quarterly photogrametric opacity observations are being conducted for a given
unit and the permittee cannot conduct a photogrametric opacity observation in a
quarter that unit operated, an opacity determination conducted in accordance
with the procedures of 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 9 will satisfy the
monitoring requirements of this condition.
[R307-201-3, R307-305, R307-401-8]
II.B.1.a.1 The permittee shall maintain a monthly log of visual opacity surveys, quarterly photogrametric
observations, and/or annual opacity determinations, which include the following information for
each affected emission unit: the date and time of each visual opacity survey, photogrametric
opacity observation, annual opacity determination, the specific monitoring technique used (visual
opacity survey, 40 CFR 60 Appendix A Method 9, or photogrametric observation), and the
result of the opacity monitoring. The records required by this provision and all data required by
40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 9 shall be maintained. [R307-401-8]
II.B.1.b The six (6) diesel-fired emergency generator engines shall meet the applicable requirements in
40 CFR 60, Subparts A and IIII, and 40 CFR 63, Subparts A and ZZZZ.
[40 CFR 60 Subpart IIII, 40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ]
II.B.2 Sulfur Fuel Content Requirement
II.B.2.a The permittee shall purchase diesel fuel with a sulfur content no greater than 15 ppm (0.0015
percent) by weight. [40 CFR 60 Subpart IIII, 40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ]
DAQE-AN101210291-24
Page 7
II.B.2.a.1 For each fuel load received, the permittee shall maintain either fuel receipt records or other
documentation showing fuel meets the specifications of ASTM D975 for the sulfur content for
Grades No. 1-D S15 or 2-D S15 diesel. The permittee shall maintain documentation
demonstrating compliance with the condition.

DAQ Response
UDAQ has reviewed the information submitted during the public comment period and determined that the
updated equipment capacity and emissions do not trigger any additional permit review. The equipment
updates and emissions reduction require the existing engineering review and Intent to Approve (ITA) to
be updated and regenerated. There were no official comments submitted during the public comment
period. Since the additional information submitted by HAFB during the public comment period is a
reduction in emissions, no additional public comment period is needed.

The intent is to issue an air quality AO authorizing the project with the following recommended
conditions and that failure to comply with any of the conditions may constitute a violation of the AO.
II.B REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS
II.B.1 Site Wide Requirements
II.B.1.a Visible emissions from the six (6) diesel-fired emergency generators shall be no greater than 20
percent opacity, except for a period not exceeding three (3) minutes in any hour. The permittee
shall apply one (1) of the following monitoring techniques to each affected emission unit when in
operation.
A. Monthly visual opacity survey conducted by an individual trained on the
observation procedures of 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 9. If any visible
emissions other than condensed water vapor are observed from an emission
point, an opacity determination of that emission point shall be performed in
accordance with 40 CFR 60, Method 9, within 24 hours of the initial visual
opacity survey or upon start-up if the unit must be shut down for maintenance.
If the unit must be permanently removed from service, no follow-up opacity
determination is required.
B. Quarterly photogrametric opacity observations conducted by an individual
trained on the observation procedures of 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 9. If
an opacity of 15 percent or more is detected by the photogrametric analysis, an
opacity determination of that emission point shall be performed in accordance
with 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 9 within 24 hours of the initial
photogrametric opacity observation or upon startup if the unit must be shut down
for maintenance. If the unit must be permanently removed from service, no
follow-up opacity determination is required.
C. An annual opacity determination performed in accordance with 40 CFR 60,
Appendix A, Method 9.
The monitoring option selected can vary from unit to unit. For example, if
quarterly photogrametric opacity observations are being conducted for a given
unit and the permittee cannot conduct a photogrametric opacity observation the
quarter that unit operated, an opacity determination conducted in accordance
with the procedures of 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 9 will satisfy the
monitoring requirements of this condition.
[R307-201-3, R307-305, R307-401-8]

Project Description
Hill AFB has requested a modification to AO DAQE-AN101210266-19 to add two (2) large emergency
generator engines and update PTE emissions. The PTE emissions for the four (4) existing permitted large
emergency generator engines have been updated, and the emissions impacted by the update are SOx
(+0.00028 TPY), NOx (+0.000004), CO (+0.0000009), VOC (-0.0083), GHG (-0.0009), and the total
HAPs combined (-0.00477 TPY). All other emissions from the existing four (4) large emergency
generators remain the same. No new requirements were added to the AO for the addition of the two (2)
new emergency generator engines.
Process Description
Hill AFB permits large (greater than 2000 Kw) emergency generator engines in a separate approval order.
All generators below 2000 Kw are permitted under the emergency generator permit. All Hill AFB

Engines
Project Description
Project Description
Hill AFB has requested a modification to AO DAQE-AN101210266-19, to add two large
emergency generator engines and updated PTE emissions. The PTE emissions for the four
existing permitted large emergency generator engines have been updated and the emissions
impacted by the update are the SOx (+0.00028 TPY), NOx (+0.000004), CO (+0.0000009), VOC
(-0.0083), GHG (-0.0009) and the total HAPs combined (-0.00477 TPY). All other emissions for
the existing 4 large emergency generators remain the same. No new requirements were added to
the AO for the addition of the two new emergency generators engines.
Process Description
Hill Air Force Base (Hill AFB) permits large (greater than 2000 Kw) emergency generator
engines in a separate approval order. All generators below 2000 Kw are permitted in the
emergency generator permit. All Hill AFB operations have combined requirements in the Title V
permit. The emissions associated with all operations have been combined for classification
purposes.
EMISSION IMPACT ANALYSIS
This permit change does not trigger Impact Analysis in UAC R307-410-4 or R307-410-5. The emissions
increase for the addition of the two large emergency compressor engines is as follows; +0.1 TPY of PM10/2.5,
+3.0 TPY of NOx, +1.67 TPY of CO, +0.00367 TPY of SOx, +0.08 TPY of VOC, 373 TPY of CO2e, and
+0.00122 TPY of combined HAPs. NO2 modeling was conducted and documented in DAQE-MN101210291-

Review of BACT for New/Modified Emission Units
1. BACT review regarding Emergency Generator Engines
BACT was conducted for emergency generator engine larger (rating of 1,750 to 2,500 kW)by
reviewing the RBLC. The following technologies were specified in the analysis: good combustion
practices, maintenance and operating practices, use of low-sulfur diesel fuel, compliance with
applicable NSPS IIII requirements, compliance with applicable NESHAP ZZZZ requirements and
the use of SCR. All of the listed control technologies are technically feasible, except for SCR. For
SCR systems to function effectively, exhaust temperatures must be 200°C to 500°C to
enable catalyst activation. SCR control efficiencies are low during the first 20 to 30 minutes after
engine start up during maintenance and testing. There are also complications controlling the
excess ammonia during the engine startup during maintenance and testing. from SCR use. SCR is
not considered technically feasible for emergency units.
BACT for diesel-fired emergency engines, is the following:
Good combustion, maintenance, and operating practices
Use of low-sulfur diesel fuel
Compliance with applicable NSPS IIII requirements
Use of a tier certified engine
Limit on hours of operation for maintenance and testing operations
Compliance with applicable NESHAP ZZZZ requirements

conditions and that failure to comply with any of the conditions may constitute a violation of the
AO. (New or Modified conditions are indicated as “New” in the Outline Label):
II.B REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS
II.B.1 Site Wide Requirements
II.B.1.a
NEW
Visible emissions from the six (6) diesel-fired emergency generators shall be no greater than
20 percent opacity except for a period not exceeding 3 minutes in any hour. The permittee
shall apply one of the following monitoring techniques to each affected emission unit when in
operation.
A. Monthly visual opacity survey conducted by an individual trained on the observation
procedures of 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 9. If any visible emissions other than
condensed water vapor are observed from an emission point, an opacity determination of that
emission point shall be performed in accordance with 40 CFR 60, Method 9 within 24 hours
of the initial visual opacity survey or upon start-up if the unit must be shut down for
maintenance. If the unit must be permanently removed from service, no follow-up opacity
determination is required.
B. Quarterly photogrametric opacity observations conducted by an individual trained on
the observation procedures of 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 9. If an opacity of 15 percent
or more is detected by the photogrametric analysis, an opacity determination of that emission
point shall be performed in accordance with 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 9 within 24
hours of the initial photogrametric opacity observation or upon startup if the unit must be
shutdown for maintenance. If the unit must be permanently removed from service, no follow-
up opacity determination is required.
C. An annual opacity determination performed in accordance with 40 CFR 60, Appendix
A, Method 9.
The monitoring option selected can vary from unit to unit. For example, if quarterly
photogrametric opacity observations are being conducted for a given unit and the permittee
cannot conduct a photogrametric opacity observation in a quarter that unit operated, an opacity
determination conducted in accordance with the procedures of 40 CFR 60, Appendix A,
Method 9 will satisfy the monitoring requirements of this condition. [R307-201-3, R307-305,
R307-401-8]
II.B.1.a.1 The permittee shall maintain a monthly log of visual opacity surveys, quarterly
photogrametric observations, and/or annual opacity determinations which include the
following information for each affected emission unit: the date and time of each visual opacity
survey, photogrametric opacity observation, annual opacity determination, the specific
monitoring technique used (visual opacity survey, 40 CFR 60 Appendix A Method 9,or
photogrametric observation), and the result of the opacity monitoring. The records required by
this provision and all data required by 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 9 shall be maintained.

REVIEWER COMMENTS
1. 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)
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 January
23, 2024]
2. Comment regarding Emissions Estimates:
The PTE emissions estimates were generated using the manufactures emissions factors for PM10/2.5,
NOx, CO and VOC emissions. The SOx emissions were generated using Air Force guidance (Air
Emissions Guide for Air Force Stationary Sources, Air Force Civil Engineer Center [AFCEC],
August 2018, Section 3). The CO2e calculated used table A-1 "Global Warming Potentials" from 40
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 98. [Last updated January 25, 2024]
3. Comment regarding SIP Listed Source:
The PTE emissions estimates were generated using the manufactures emissions factors for PM10/2.5,
NOx, CO and VOC emissions. The SOx emissions were generated using Air Force guidance (Air
Emissions Guide for Air Force Stationary Sources, Air Force Civil Engineer Center [AFCEC],
August 2018, Section 3). The CO2e calculated used table A-1 "Global Warming Potentials" from 40
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 98. [Last updated January 23, 2024]
4. 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" but is subject to 40 CFR 60 Subpart IIII and 40 CFR
63 Subpart ZZZZ. [Last updated January 23, 2024]

B. Assumptions
1. Topography/Terrain
The Plant is at an elevation 4780 feet with terrain features that have an affect on
concentration predictions.
a. Zone: 12
b. Approximate Location:
UTM (NAD83): 416588 meters East
4553000 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 – Syracuse, UT NWS: 2005 - 2009
Upper Air – Salt Lake Airport, UT NWS: 2005 - 2009
6. Background
The background concentrations were based on concentrations measured in Harrisville,
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- MN101210291-24

Dear Director
Hill Air Force Base (AFB) is submitting this addendum to the notice of intent (NOI) submitted on 26 Oct
23 to modify approval order (AO) DAQE-AN101210266-19. This addendum is for the addition of a second
emergency generator. A redline of DAQE-AN101210266-19 with the requested changes in the original NOI
(addition of one emergency generator and updates to the potential to emit [PTE] emissions for the four generators in
the AO) and this addendum is included as Attachment 1. The two new generators will have the following
specifications:
Equipment type: compression ignition internal combustion engine
Power type: emergency
Manufacturer: Caterpillar
Model: 3516C
Fuel: diesel
Engine rating: 2,500 kW
Engine site-specific rating: 2,202 kW
Manufacturer year: 2021
Tier rating: 2
Quantity: 1
AQUIS ID: 45491
Equipment type: compression ignition internal combustion engine
Power type: emergency
Manufacturer: Mitsubishi
Model: S16R-Y2PTAW2-1
Fuel: diesel
Engine rating: 2,181 kW
Engine site-specific rating: 2,142 kW
Manufacturer year: 2023
Tier rating: 2
Quantity: 1
AQUIS ID: 45495
The PTE emissions were calculated using manufacturer data; Air Force guidance documents; 40 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 98, Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting, Subpart C; Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) guidance documents; and EPA AP-42. Detailed emission calculations for the two new generators
and the recalculated PTE emissions for the four generators in the AO are provided in Attachment 2. PTE emissions
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 emission increases are below the applicable thresholds provided in UAC R307-
410-4. Pursuant to R307-410-5(1)(c), a screening analysis was conducted for HAP emissions. From the analysis, it
was determined the proposed HAP emission increases from the two new emergency generators were below the
respective emission threshold values based upon the applicable threshold limit value – time weighted average.
The engines are subject to New Source Performance Standards Subpart IIII, ‘Standards of Performance for
Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines’ and are also affected sources under National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) Subpart ZZZZ, ‘Stationary Reciprocating Internal
Combustion Engines’, but there are no applicable emission limits under the NESHAP. The units will comply with
all applicable requirements of the Hill AFB Main Base Title V Operating Permit (TVOP) Conditions II.B.43, II.B.44
and II.B.48. Best available control technology (BACT) for internal combustion engines is provided in TVOP
Conditions II.B.43, II.B.44 and II.B.48 and a BACT determination is included as Attachment 3.
Hill AFB requests the enhanced new source review process for this AO so the Main Base Title V Operating
Permit can be modified administratively. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this issue further, my
point of contact is Dr. Erik Dettenmaier, 75 CEG/CEIEA, at (801) 777-0888 or erik.dettenmaier.1@us.af.mil.

Abstract
Hill Air Force Base (Hill AFB) has requested an administrative amendment modification to the Large
Emergency Generator AO DAQE-AN10121026656-198, to add two emergency generators and update emission
calculations for the four emergency generators already listed in the permit due to a change in emission
calculation methodology.update opacity monitoring language with the language for limited use power supply
units in the Title V Operating Permit. Hill AFB is also requesting removal of the 30,000 gallon diesel tank
from this permit. The tank has been incorporated into the fuel tanks permit DAQE-AN101210260-19. This
permit action is an administrative correction and is not adding equipment or increasing emissions. The
following are the PTE emission changes (in TPY) resulting from the changes requested in this permit
modification: 0.10 of PM10, 0.10 of PM2.5 (Subset of PM10), 3.00 of NOX, 1.67 of CO, 0.004 of SOX, 0.09 of
VOC, 373 of CO2e, and -0.004 of combined HAPs The following are the estimated PTE emissions (in TPY) for
the processes in this AO: 0.18 of PM10, 0.18 of PM2.5 (Subset of PM10), 8.09 of NOX, 2.74 of CO, 0.01 of SOX,
0.26 of VOC, 1,127 of CO2e, and 0.004 of combined HAPs
Hill AFB is subject to 40 CFR 63 Subpart GG, NESHAP for Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework
Facilities, but the generators in this AO are not subject to this regulation. The engines are subject to
NSPS 40 CFR 60 Subpart A and IIII (Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition
Internal Combustion Engines) and are also subject to NESHAP 40 CFR 63 Subpart A and ZZZZ
(National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal
Combustion Engines). Hill AFB is classified as a major source of air pollution and is subject to the
Operating Permit Program. Hill AFB is a PM2.5 SIP-listed source, a major source for VOCs, GHGs,
PM10, PM2.5, HAPs and CO2e. Hill AFB is a PSD source for NOX and CO. Hill AFB is located in Davis
and Weber Counties, which are nonattainment for PM2.5 and ozone and attainment area for all other
criteria pollutants. The Title V permit will be administratively amended to incorporate the conditions of
this AO.
The following are the estimated PTE emissions (in TPY): 0.09 of PM10, 0.09 of PM2.5 (Subset of PM10),
5.09 of NOX, 1.07 of CO, 0.007 of SOX, 0.18 of VOC, 755 of CO2e, and 0.006 of combined HAPs.
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:

1 The PTE emissions for the four emergency generators listed in approval order DAQE-AN101210266-19 were recalculated due to a change in Hill AFB generator PTE
emission calculation methodology which occurred after the issuance of DAQE-AN101210266-19. Per Air Force Guidance, emission factors from the Air Emissions Guide for
Air Force Stationary Sources are used to calculate emissions for emergency generators. The change in calculation methodology only impacts the SOX and HAP emissions for
the four generators.
2 The change in PTE emissions is the difference between the PTE emissions listed in AQE-AN101210266-19 and the AO Recalculated PTE emissions and the addition of the
PTE emissions from the new emergency generators.
[(AO current PTE emissions) - (AO recalculated PTE emissions) + (new emergency generators PTE emissions)]
3 The new AO PTE emissions is the sum of the AO Recalculated PTE emissions and the PTE emissions from the new emergency generators.
[(AO recalculated PTE emissions) + (new emergency generators PTE emissions)]
4 CO2e calculated using Table A-1 'Global Warming Potentials' from 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 98. CO 2e is the sum of each greenhouse gas pollutant (CO2,
CH4 and N2O) multiplied by the global warming potential for each pollutant (CO2 = 1, CH4 = 25, N2O = 298).

Attachment 3: BACT Determination
To evaluate the appropriate best available control technology (BACT) for the proposed
diesel-fired emergency engines, 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 for diesel-
fired emergency generators were reviewed. The following is a list of control technologies
identified.
1) EPA’s RBLC was reviewed to determine EPA BACT decisions for diesel-fired internal
combustion compression ignition engines with size ratings near the new engine ratings of
2,202 kW and 1,964 kW (process type code 17.110). These BACT determinations are
summarized in the following table.

accordance with the engine manufacturer’s instructions and/or written
procedures designed to maximize combustion efficiency and minimize
fuel usage
LA-0296 2,000
Compliance with 40 CFR 60 Subpart IIII; operating the engine in
accordance with the engine manufacturer’s instructions and/or written
procedures (consistent with safe operation) designed to maximize
combustion efficiency and minimize fuel usage
LA-0309 2,179 Comply with 40 CFR 60 Subpart IIII
LA-0316 2,500 Comply with 40 CFR 60 Subpart IIII
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.
Attachment 3: BACT Determination
3) Use of Low-Sulfur Fuel (0.05%): Use of low-sulfur diesel fuel reduces SOX emissions
and is considered BACT for diesel-fired emergency engines.
4) 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart IIII 'Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression
Ignition Internal Combustion Engines' requires owners and operators of non-emergency
and emergency affected engines to comply with emission standards (Tier standards)
based on engine model year, maximum engine power, engine displacement and use
(emergency, non-emergency). The Tier standards are emission limits for PM, CO and
NMHC + NOx or NOx and NMHC. The subpart requires proper operation and
maintenance, in accordance with the manufacturer, to ensure affected emission units
achieve the applicable Tier standards over the entire life of the engine. The subpart
requires affected emission units with a displacement of less than 30 liters per cylinder to
comply with fuel sulfur limitations: (1) fuel sulfur content no greater than 15 ppm
(0.0015 percent) by weight and (2) a minimum cetane index of 40 or a maximum
aromatic content of 35 volume percent.
5) Limited Hours of Operation: 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart IIII 'Standards of Performance for
Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines' limits the operation for
readiness (maintenance and testing) to 100 hours annually for emergency generators.
Limiting the hours of operation for the equipment limits emissions of all pollutants
released from the emergency generator.
6) 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart ZZZZ 'National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines' requires owners
and operators of non-emergency and emergency affected engines to at all times operate
and maintain any affected source in a manner consistent with safety and good air
pollution control practices for minimizing emissions.
7) Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR): Is a combination of engineered components
designed to reduce the amount of NOx in a turbine or engine exhaust stream. A form of
ammonia is injected in front of a catalyst to reduce the NOx. Nitrogen oxides are formed
when the oxygen and nitrogen in the air react with each other during combustion. High
temperatures and excess oxygen (more than is needed to burn the fuel) favor the
formation of nitrogen oxides. SCR systems are installed to reduce NOx levels in the
exhaust gas stream from the engine. SCR systems have the capability of reducing both
NO and NO2 in the gas stream by injecting an ammonia reagent ahead of the catalyst. In
addition to NOx control, SCR systems with an oxidation catalyst can also reduce CO
emissions.
For SCR systems to function effectively, exhaust temperatures must be high enough
(200°C to 500°C) to enable catalyst activation. SCR control efficiencies are relatively
low during the first 20 to 30 minutes after engine start up, especially during maintenance
and testing. There are also complications controlling the excess ammonia (ammonia slip)
Attachment 3: BACT Determination
from SCR use. SCR is anticipated to have relatively low combustion efficiency during
maintenance and testing, SCR is not considered technically feasible for emergency units.
All of the technologies listed above for control of emissions from diesel-fired emergency
generators are technically feasible. Based on the review of control technologies considered
BACT for diesel-fired emergency engines, Hill AFB has determined the following meets BACT
requirements:
Good combustion, maintenance and operating practices
Use of low-sulfur diesel fuel
Compliance with applicable NSPS IIII requirements
o Use of a tier certified engine
o Limit on hours of operation for maintenance and testing operations
Compliance with applicable NESHAP ZZZZ requirements
SCR has not been determined to be BACT for the new diesel-fired engine as the engines are
for emergency use. In addition to the above BACT, the unit will be equipped with a
turbocharger and charge air cooler which help control air pollutant emissions.

Dear Director
Hill Air Force Base (AFB) is submitting this notice of intent to modify approval order (AO)
DAQE-AN101210266-19 for the addition of one emergency generator and to update the potential to
emit (PTE) emissions for the four generators in the AO due to a change in emission calculation
methodology. A redline of DAQE-AN101210266-19 with the requested changes is included as
Attachment 1. The generator will have the following specifications:
Equipment type: compression ignition internal combustion engine
Power type: emergency
Manufacturer: Caterpillar
Model: 3516C
Fuel: diesel
Engine rating: 2,500 kW
Engine site-specific rating: 2,202 kW
Manufacturer year: 2021
Tier rating: 2
Quantity: 1
AQUIS ID: 45491
The PTE emissions were calculated using manufacturer data; Air Force guidance documents;
40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 98, Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting, Subpart C;
EPA guidance documents; and EPA AP-42. Detailed emission calculations for the new generator
and the recalculated PTE emissions for the four generators in the AO are provided in Attachment 2.
PTE emissions 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 emission increases are below the
applicable thresholds provided in UAC R307-410-4. Pursuant to R307-410-5(1)(c), a screening
analysis was conducted for HAP emissions. From the analysis, it was determined the proposed HAP
emission increases from the new emergency generator were below the respective emission threshold
values based upon the applicable threshold limit value – time weighted average.
The engines are subject to New Source Performance Standards Subpart IIII, ‘Standards of
Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines’ and are also affected
sources under National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) Subpart ZZZZ,
‘Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines’, but there are no applicable emission limits
under the NESHAP. The units will comply with all applicable requirements of the Hill AFB Main
Base Title V Operating Permit (TVOP) Conditions II.B.43, II.B.44 and II.B.48. Best available
control technology (BACT) for internal combustion engines is provided in TVOP Conditions II.B.43,
II.B.44 and II.B.48 and a BACT determination is included as Attachment 3.
Hill AFB requests the enhanced new source review process for this AO so the Main Base
Title V Operating Permit can be modified administratively. If you have any questions or would like
to discuss this issue further, my point of contact is Dr. Erik Dettenmaier 75 CEG/CEIEA, at (801)

Abstract
Hill Air Force Base (Hill AFB) has requested an administrative amendment modification to the Large
Emergency Generator AO DAQE-AN10121026656-198, to add one emergency generator and update emission
calculations for the four emergency generators already listed in the permit due to a change in emission
calculation methodology.update opacity monitoring language with the language for limited use power supply
units in the Title V Operating Permit. Hill AFB is also requesting removal of the 30,000 gallon diesel tank
from this permit. The tank has been incorporated into the fuel tanks permit DAQE-AN101210260-19. This
permit action is an administrative correction and is not adding equipment or increasing emissions. The
following are the PTE emission changes (in TPY) resulting from the changes requested in this permit
modification: 0.05 of PM10, 0.05 of PM2.5 (Subset of PM10), 1.52 of NOX, 0.85 of CO, 0.002 of SOX, 0.05 of
VOC, 198 of CO2e, and -0.004 of combined HAPs The following are the estimated PTE emissions (in TPY) for
the processes in this AO: 0.14 of PM10, 0.14 of PM2.5 (Subset of PM10), 6.61 of NOX, 1.92 of CO, 0.009 of
SOX, 0.22 of VOC, 952 of CO2e, and 0.003 of combined HAPs
Hill AFB is subject to 40 CFR 63 Subpart GG, NESHAP for Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework
Facilities, but the generators in this AO are not subject to this regulation. The engines are subject to
NSPS 40 CFR 60 Subpart A and IIII (Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition
Internal Combustion Engines) and are also subject to NESHAP 40 CFR 63 Subpart A and ZZZZ
(National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal
Combustion Engines). Hill AFB is classified as a major source of air pollution and is subject to the
Operating Permit Program. Hill AFB is a PM2.5 SIP-listed source, a major source for VOCs, GHGs,
PM10, PM2.5, HAPs and CO2e. Hill AFB is a PSD source for NOX and CO. Hill AFB is located in Davis
and Weber Counties, which are nonattainment for PM2.5 and ozone and attainment area for all other
criteria pollutants. The Title V permit will be administratively amended to incorporate the conditions of
this AO.
The following are the estimated PTE emissions (in TPY): 0.09 of PM10, 0.09 of PM2.5 (Subset of PM10),
5.09 of NOX, 1.07 of CO, 0.007 of SOX, 0.18 of VOC, 755 of CO2e, and 0.006 of combined HAPs.

II.B.1 Site-wide Requirements
II.B.1.a Visible emissions from the fiveour (54) diesel-fired emergency generators shall be no greater
than 20% opacity except for a period not exceeding three (3) minutes in any hour. The
permittee shall apply one (1) of the following monitoring techniques to each affected emission
unit when in operation.
A. Monthly visual opacity survey conducted by an individual trained on the observation
procedures of 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 9. If any visible emissions other than
condensed water vapor are observed from an emission point, an opacity determination
of that emission point shall be performed in accordance with 40 CFR 60, Method 9
within 24 hours of the initial visual opacity survey or upon start-up if the unit must be
shut down for maintenance. If the unit must be permanently removed from service, no
follow-up opacity determination is required.
B. Quarterly photogrametric opacity observations conducted by an individual trained on
the observation procedures of 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 9. If an opacity of
15% or more is detected by the photogrametric analysis, an opacity determination of
that emission point shall be performed in accordance with 40 CFR 60, Appendix A,
DAQE-AN1012102TBD66-TBD19
Page 4
Method 9 within 24 hours of the initial photogrametric opacity observation or upon
start-up if the unit must be shut down for maintenance. If the unit must be
permanently removed from service, no follow-up opacity determination is required.
C. An annual opacity determination performed in accordance with 40 CFR 60, Appendix
A, Method 9.
The monitoring option selected can vary from unit to unit. For example, if quarterly
photogrametric opacity observations are being conducted for a given unit and the permittee
cannot conduct a photogrametric opacity observation in a quarter that unit operated, an opacity
determination conducted in accordance with the procedures of 40 CFR 60, Appendix A,
Method 9 will satisfy the monitoring requirements of this condition.
[R307-201-3, R307-305, R307-401-8]

1 The PTE emissions for the four emergency generators listed in approval order DAQE-AN101210266-19 were recalculated due to a change in Hill AFB generator PTE
emission calculation methodology which occurred after the issuance of DAQE-AN101210266-19. Per Air Force Guidance, emission factors from the Air Emissions Guide for
Air Force Stationary Sources are used to calculate emissions for emergency generators. The change in calculation methodology only impacts the SOX and HAP emissions for
the four generators.
2 The change in PTE emissions is the difference between the PTE emissions listed in AQE-AN101210266-19 and the AO Recalculated PTE emissions and the addition of the
PTE emissions from the new emergency generator.
[(AO current PTE emissions) - (AO recalculated PTE emissions) + (new emergency generator PTE emissions)]
3 The new AO PTE emissions is the sum of the AO Recalculated PTE emissions and the PTE emissions from the new emergency generator.
[(AO recalculated PTE emissions) + (new emergency generator PTE emissions)]
4 CO2e calculated using Table A-1 'Global Warming Potentials' from 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 98. CO 2e is the sum of each greenhouse gas pollutant (CO2,
CH4 and N2O) multiplied by the global warming potential for each pollutant (CO2 = 1, CH4 = 25, N2O = 298).

Attachment 3: BACT Determination
To evaluate the appropriate best available control technology (BACT) for the proposed
diesel-fired emergency engine, 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 for diesel-
fired emergency generators were reviewed. The following is a list of control technologies
identified.
1) EPA’s RBLC was reviewed to determine EPA BACT decisions for diesel-fired internal
combustion compression ignition engine with size ratings near the new engine rating of
2,202 kW (process type code 17.110). These BACT determinations are summarized in
the following table.

and is considered BACT for diesel-fired emergency engines.
4) 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart IIII 'Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression
Ignition Internal Combustion Engines' requires owners and operators of non-emergency
and emergency affected engines to comply with emission standards (Tier standards)
based on engine model year, maximum engine power, engine displacement and use
(emergency, non-emergency). The Tier standards are emission limits for PM, CO and
NMHC + NOx or NOx and NMHC. The subpart requires proper operation and
maintenance, in accordance with the manufacturer, to ensure affected emission units
achieve the applicable Tier standards over the entire life of the engine. The subpart
requires affected emission units with a displacement of less than 30 liters per cylinder to
comply with fuel sulfur limitations: (1) fuel sulfur content no greater than 15 ppm
(0.0015 percent) by weight and (2) a minimum cetane index of 40 or a maximum
aromatic content of 35 volume percent.
5) Limited Hours of Operation: 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart IIII 'Standards of Performance for
Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines' limits the operation for
readiness (maintenance and testing) to 100 hours annually for emergency generators.
Limiting the hours of operation for the equipment limits emissions of all pollutants
released from the emergency generator.
6) 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart ZZZZ 'National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines' requires owners
and operators of non-emergency and emergency affected engines to at all times operate
and maintain any affected source in a manner consistent with safety and good air
pollution control practices for minimizing emissions.
7) Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR): Is a combination of engineered components
designed to reduce the amount of NOx in a turbine or engine exhaust stream. A form of
ammonia is injected in front of a catalyst to reduce the NOx. Nitrogen oxides are formed
when the oxygen and nitrogen in the air react with each other during combustion. High
temperatures and excess oxygen (more than is needed to burn the fuel) favor the
formation of nitrogen oxides. SCR systems are installed to reduce NOx levels in the
exhaust gas stream from the engine. SCR systems have the capability of reducing both
NO and NO2 in the gas stream by injecting an ammonia reagent ahead of the catalyst. In
addition to NOx control, SCR systems with an oxidation catalyst can also reduce CO
emissions.
For SCR systems to function effectively, exhaust temperatures must be high enough
(200°C to 500°C) to enable catalyst activation. SCR control efficiencies are relatively
low during the first 20 to 30 minutes after engine start up, especially during maintenance
and testing. There are also complications controlling the excess ammonia (ammonia slip)
Attachment 3: BACT Determination
from SCR use. SCR is anticipated to have relatively low combustion efficiency during
maintenance and testing, SCR is not considered technically feasible for emergency units.
All of the technologies listed above for control of emissions from diesel-fired emergency
generators are technically feasible. Based on the review of control technologies considered
BACT for diesel-fired emergency engines, Hill AFB has determined the following meets BACT
requirements:
• Good combustion, maintenance and operating practices
• Use of low-sulfur diesel fuel
• Compliance with applicable NSPS IIII requirements
o Use of a tier certified engine
o Limit on hours of operation for maintenance and testing operations
• Compliance with applicable NESHAP ZZZZ requirements
SCR has not been determined to be BACT for the new diesel-fired engine as the engine is for
emergency use. In addition to the above BACT, the unit will be equipped with a turbocharger
and charge air cooler which help control air pollutant emissions.
