MEMORANDUM
TO: FILE – PACIFICORP – Hunter Power Plant
THROUGH: Harold Burge, Major Source Compliance Section Manager
FROM: Joseph Randolph, Environmental Scientist
DATE: April 24, 2025
SUBJECT: FULL COMPLIANCE EVALUATION, Major, Emery County,
FRS #UT0000004901500101
INSPECTION DATE: April 16, 2025
SOURCE LOCATION: 2 miles south on Utah Highway 10, Castle Dale, Utah
MAILING ADDRESS: P.O. Box 569, Castle Dale, Utah 84513
SOURCE CONTACT: Terry Guthrie, Senior Engineer: 435-748-6059
Jay Howard, Sr. Environmental Analyst – 435-748-6519
OPERATING STATUS: Operating Units 1 and 3 online.
PROCESS DESCRIPTION: PacifiCorp’s Hunter site consists of three coal-fired electric steam
generating units. The boiler fuel systems consist of coal handling and
fuel oil (diesel) for boiler cold starts after downtime and main boiler
flame stabilization:
Coal enters the plant via covered conveyors or by trucks from the
adjacent Energy West coal prep plant and is poured into coal mills where
it is pulverized to a talcum powder consistency. Pipes carry the
pulverized coal to the boiler burners where it ignites in a large fireball.
Bottom ash left from the coal combustion process (clinkers), collect at
the bottom of the boiler, which are crushed and slurried away. Fly ash,
also a combustion by-product, is removed by capturing the particulate
matter (PM) on electrostatic precipitators (ESP) or a baghouse. The
sulfur dioxide remaining in the hot flue gas from the combustion process
is removed at the scrubber by neutralizing the acid gases with a slake
lime shower.
For steam production, water is gradually pre-heated to raise the
temperature before it enters the boiler. As the water passes through the
steel tubes in the boiler wall, it is transformed to steam at approximately
1,000 degrees F and at a pressure of 2,400 psi. This high-pressure steam
blows on fan blades of the turbine generator, spinning them at 3,600
RPM. The generator, a magnet spinning within a coil of wire, turns the 0 8
2
energy of motion into electricity. Transformers step up voltage from
24,000 to 345,000 volts, first to the step-up unit on site, and then for
transmission to distant recipients.
The used boiler steam is condensed, stored, and recycled. Cooling water
lowers the heat of the steam at the condenser and is carried to the cooling
towers where it is further cooled by evaporation.
The facility has continuous emission monitors (CEM) and continuous
opacity monitoring (COM) in the emission exit stacks. Further, a fugitive
dust plan is in effect to control fugitive dust emissions at the coal storage
and handling areas, landfill, and on access roads.

(1) Measurement Approach: Opacity is measured directly by COMS installed in each
baghouse outlet duct.
(2) Indicator Range:
(i) An excursion is defined as a 24-hour daily average opacity value greater than the
baseline level of 5%. Annually, the permittee should develop a new excursion level
during annual performance test using the modified method under 60.48Da(o)(2)(iii) and
(iv) (NSPS Subpart Da). The new value of the opacity excursion level shall be
determined by averaging all of the 6- minute average opacity values from the COMS
measurements recorded during each of the test run intervals conducted for the
performance test plus 2.5 percent, or a total opacity value of 5.0%, whichever is greater.
(ii) Excursions trigger a baghouse inspection, corrective actions and a reporting
requirement. The permittee must initiate investigation of the relevant equipment and
control systems within 24 hours of the first discovery of the high opacity incident and
take the appropriate corrective action as soon as practicable to adjust control settings or
repair equipment to reduce the measured 24- hour average opacity to a level below the
baseline opacity level. If the measured 24-hour average opacity remains at a level greater
than the opacity baseline level after seven boiler operating days, a new particulate matter
performance test will be conducted to establish a new opacity baseline value. This new
performance test will be conducted within 60 days of the date that the measured 24-hour
average opacity was first determined to exceed the baseline opacity level unless a waiver
is granted by the Director. (40 CFR 60.8Da(o)(2)(iv) and (vi))
23
(3) Performance Criteria:
(i) Data Representativeness: Measurements made by COMS shall provide a direct
indicator of the baghouse performance. COMS shall be installed and operated in

170.
(ii) QA/QC Practices and Criteria: COMS shall be operated, calibrated, and maintained to
meet 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, Performance Specification 1.
(iii) Monitoring Frequency: Opacity shall be monitored continuously with opacity values
averaged every minute.
(iv) Data Collection Procedure: Opacity data shall be recorded and stored electronically.
(v) Averaging Period: Use continuous opacity data to calculate 6-minute averages and the
6- minute averages to calculate the 24-hour daily average opacity.

reasonable assurance of compliance with the PM emission limitation as specified below:
(1) Measurement Approach: Opacity is measured directly by COMS installed in each
baghouse outlet duct.
(2) Indicator Range:
(i) An excursion is defined as a 24-hour daily average opacity value greater than the
baseline level of 5.33% . Annually, the permittee should develop a new excursion level
during annual performance test using the modified method under 60.48Da(o)(2)(iii) and
38
(iv) (NSPS Subpart Da). The new value of the opacity excursion level shall be
determined by averaging all of the 6- minute average opacity values from the COMS
measurements recorded during each of the test run intervals conducted for the
performance test plus 2.5 percent, or a total opacity value of 5.0%, whichever is greater.
(ii) Excursions trigger a baghouse inspection, corrective actions and a reporting
requirement. The permittee must initiate investigation of the relevant equipment and
control systems within 24 hours of the first discovery of the high opacity incident and
take the appropriate corrective action as soon as practicable to adjust control settings or
repair equipment to reduce the measured 24- hour average opacity to a level below the
baseline opacity level. If the measured 24-hour average opacity remains at a level greater
than the opacity baseline level after seven boiler operating days, a new particulate matter
performance test will be conducted to establish a new opacity baseline value. This new
performance test will be conducted within 60 days of the date that the measured 24-hour
average opacity was first determined to exceed the baseline opacity level unless a waiver
is granted by the Director. (40 CFR 60.8Da(o)(2)(iv) and (vi))
(3) Performance Criteria:
(i) Data Representativeness: Measurements made by COMS shall provide a direct
indicator of the baghouse performance. COMS shall be installed and operated in
accordance with 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix B, Performance Specification 1 and R307-
170.
(ii) QA/QC Practices and Criteria: COMS shall be operated, calibrated, and maintained to
meet 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, Performance Specification 1.
(iii) Monitoring Frequency: Opacity shall be monitored continuously with opacity values
averaged every minute.
(iv) Data Collection Procedure: Opacity data shall be recorded and stored electronically.
(v) Averaging Period: Use continuous opacity data to calculate 6-minute averages and the
6- minute averages to calculate the 24-hour daily average opacity.
II.B.3.a.2 Recordkeeping:
