Dear Mr. McDowell:
Re: Request for Evaluation of Compliance with Rule R307-401-9, UAC: Small Source Exemption
Project Fee Code: N161750002
On September 19, 2024, the Division of Air Quality (DAQ) received your request for a small source
exemption for the Wildcat Midstream, LP Martin Yard Transloading Facility. The source is located at 340 West Hardscrabble Creek Road in Helper, Carbon County. DAQ has determined the small source
exemption applies to the source, as long as the equipment and associated processes operate as specified in
the registration request.
The small source exemption does not exempt a source from complying with other applicable federal,
state, and local regulations and the current Utah Administrative Code. Based on the emissions that you
submitted to DAQ with your registration request, the Wildcat Midstream, LP Martin Yard Transloading
Facility is not required to obtain an approval order under R307-401. If you change your operation such
that there is an increase in emissions, we recommend that you notify us, as an approval order may be
required.
As authorized by the Utah Legislature, the fee for issuing this small source exemption is a one-time filing
fee in addition to the actual time spent by the review engineer and all other staff on the project. Payment
should be sent to DAQ upon receipt of the invoice.

Q5. County the Site is located in:
Carbon County
Q6. Briefly describe the process including the end products, raw materials, and process equipment used.
Addition of 50,000 bbl/year transloading of methanol from railcar to tank truck. Existing operations include transloading
of industrial wax (crude) and diesel. There are no changes requested to existing operations.
Addition of methanol operations increases calculated annual emissions of VOC from 4.86 tpy to 4.88 tpy.
Q7. List emission units
Loading, Fugitives.
Q8. List any pollution control equipment
Emissions controlled through vapor balancing.
Q9. Please include Annual Emission Rates calculation spreadsheet.
