The landfill gas will come from the adjacent Wasatch Integrated Waste Management District (WIWMD) Davis Landfill. The raw landfill gas will be delivered to the feed blowers at the inlet of the new Ameresco facility, where it will be filtered and compressed. The gas then enters a fixed-bed hydrogen sulfide (H2S) removal unit utilizing activated carbon media before being sent to a temperature or pressure swing adsorption technology (TSA or PSA) system, where VOCs are removed from the gas stream. The conditioned gas will then be sent to a carbon dioxide (CO2) separation system and PSA nitrogen (N2) removal unit to remove CO2 and N2 from the gas. Oxygen (O2) may also be removed from the gas steam by use of a catalytic oxidation process in a Deoxo system. Gas will then be dehydrated utilizing a TSA system. The TSA will have closed-loop regeneration and therefore will not vent off-gases. The processed gas will then be sent to product compressors, where it will be pressurized to meet pipeline pressure requirements. Through the processes described above, the gas will be filtered, dewatered, and compressed, thus meeting the definition of "treatment system" in Federal Code 40 CFR 60.41(f). The waste gas generated from the above processing and treatment system will be sent to a thermal oxidizer or an open flare.

Bird Director DAQE-NN162430001-25 Page 2 NOTICE A Notice of Intent for the following project submitted in accordance with R307-401-1, Utah Administrative Code (UAC), has been received for consideration by the Director: Company Name: Ameresco Wasatch RNG LLC Location: Ameresco Wasatch RNG LLC - Davis Landfill Renewable Natural Gas Facility – 1997 East 3500 North, Layton, UT Project Description: Ameresco Wasatch RNG LLC (Ameresco) has requested to construct a Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Facility that will treat landfill gas and deliver the treated gas to a natural gas pipeline distribution system in Layton, Davis County. The landfill gas will come from the adjacent Wasatch Integrated Waste Management District (WIWMD) Davis Landfill. The raw landfill gas will be delivered to the feed blowers at the inlet of the new Ameresco facility, where it will be filtered and compressed. The gas then enters a fixed-bed hydrogen sulfide (H2S) removal unit utilizing activated carbon media before being sent to a temperature or pressure swing adsorption technology (TSA or PSA) system, where VOCs are removed from the gas stream. The conditioned gas will then be sent to a carbon dioxide (CO2) separation system and PSA nitrogen (N2) removal unit to remove CO2 and N2 from the gas. Oxygen (O2) may also be removed from the gas steam by use of a catalytic oxidation process in a Deoxo system. Gas will then be dehydrated utilizing a TSA system. The TSA will have closed-loop regeneration and therefore will not vent off-gases. The processed gas will then be sent to product compressors, where it will be pressurized to meet pipeline pressure requirements. Through the processes described above, the gas will be filtered, de-watered, and compressed, thus meeting the definition of "treatment system" in Federal Code 40 CFR 60.41(f). The waste gas generated from the above processing and treatment system will be sent to a thermal oxidizer or an open flare. The completed engineering evaluation and air quality impact analysis showed the proposed project meets the requirements of federal air quality regulations and the State air quality rules. The Director intends to issue an Approval Order pending a 30-day public comment period. The project proposal, estimate of the effect on local air quality and draft Approval Order are available for public inspection and comment at the Utah Division of Air Quality, 195 North 1950 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116. Written comments received by the Division at this same address on or before April 16, 2025, will be considered in making the final decision on the approval/disapproval of the proposed project. Email comments will also be accepted at cbodell@utah.gov. If anyone so requests to the Director in writing within 15 days of publication of this notice, a hearing will be held in accordance with R307-401-7, UAC. Under Section 19-1-301.5, a person who wishes to challenge a Permit Order may only raise an issue or argument during an adjudicatory proceeding that was raised during the public comment period and was supported with sufficient information or documentation to enable the Director to fully consider the substance and significance of the issue.

[Last updated January 14, 2025] Engineer Review N162430001: Ameresco Wasatch RNG LLC- Davis Landfill Renewable Natural Gas Facility March 6, 2025 Page 3 SUMMARY OF EMISSIONS The emissions listed below are an estimate of the total potential emissions from the source.

Engineer Review N162430001: Ameresco Wasatch RNG LLC- Davis Landfill Renewable Natural Gas Facility March 6, 2025 Page 4 Review of BACT for New/Modified Emission Units 1. BACT review regarding VOC and HAPs Emissions A maximum daily potential throughput of 90,000 scf/hr of landfill gas flow results in an uncontrolled PTE of 258.04 tpy of VOCs and 12.20 tpy of HAPs. Therefore, a BACT analysis was conducted to reduce VOCS and HAPs emissions. Many HAP components are emitted through the same process as VOCs and the control technologies for VOCs also control HAPs. Additionally, the new RNG facility is located in the Northern Wasatch Front ozone nonattainment area, which was redesignated from moderate to serious nonattainment in 2025. Therefore, technologies that control ozone "precursor" pollutants like NOx and VOCs, which directly contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone, are taken into greater account. Ameresco has elected to install a thermal oxidizer (TO) as the primary control device of routine waste gases generated by the processing of landfill gas into renewable natural gas. A TO was specifically selected instead of an enclosed flare. Enclosed flares and TOs are distinctly different devices due to their design, technology and operational processes. TOs utilize high temperatures to destroy organic compounds by oxidation, and are designed to control gas streams with heat contents insufficient to maintain combustion. The TO will have a manufacturer-provided destruction efficiency of 98% for VOCs and HAPs, reducing VOCs by 247.72 tpy and HAPs by 11.96 tpy. Therefore, except for plant outages, process upsets, purges, receival of off-specification gas, and startup, shutdown, and malfunction situations, BACT is the use of a TO with a minimum VOC and HAP destruction efficiency of 98%. BACT is also limiting visible emissions to 10% opacity. Ameresco has also elected to install an open flare which will combust intermittent streams of process waste gases, off-spec gases, startup and shutdown gases, depress and purge gases, treated landfill gas, natural gas, and product RNG. A utility/open flare design is necessary for this application to allow for immediate control of the gas streams in response to system outages or when off-spec gas is purged from the processing equipment. Open flares are designed to accommodate these scenarios as they can provide control for the wide range of heat contents and flow rates for this application. In contrast, enclosed thermal oxidizers and enclosed flares operate in a much narrower flow range and could not provide control of the anticipated process waste gas streams. The open flare will also have a manufacturer-provided destruction efficiency of 98% for VOCs and HAPs. Therefore, during plant outages, process upsets, purges, receival of off-specification gas, and startup, shutdown, and malfunction situations, BACT is the use of a flare with a minimum VOC and HAP destruction efficiency of 98%. BACT is also ensuring there are no visible emissions from the flare. Use of the thermal oxidizer for routine waste gas and open flare for intermittent streams of process waste gases, off-spec gases, startup and shutdown gases, depress and purge gases, treated landfill gas, natural gas, and product RNG will create landfill gas and fuel gas combustion air pollutants such as NOx, CO, PM10, PM2.5, VOCs, HAPs, and SO2. Conservatively assuming that both the TO and flare run 8,760 hours annually, it is estimated that use the TO and flare will result in approximately 20.15 tpy of NOx, 85.41 tpy of CO, 6.70 tpy of PM10, 6.70 tpy of PM2.5, 10.54 tpy of VOCs, 0.24 tpy of HAPs, and 19.32 tpy of SO2. The facility is also located in a PM2.5 serious nonattainment area. Per 40 CFR 52.21, SO2 and NOx Engineer Review N162430001: Ameresco Wasatch RNG LLC- Davis Landfill Renewable Natural Gas Facility March 6, 2025 Page 5 are presumed to be precursors to PM2.5. While the use of the flare and TO will emit additional SO2 and NOx, the use of the TO and flare to control VOCs and HAPs is preferable given the drastic reduction in VOCs. [Last updated February 27, 2025] 2. BACT review regarding Component Fugitive and Condensate Tank Emissions During the processing of renewable natural gas, minimal emissions from component leaks are anticipated. VOC/HAPs emissions associated with equipment leaks are estimated at 0.22 tpy. Due to the relatively low volume of VOC/HAPs emissions, additional add-on control technologies are not technically feasible. Therefore, BACT to control fugitive VOC/HAPs emissions from valves, pump seals, flanges, and fittings is best operating practices. Similarly, VOC emissions associated with the condensate tank and liquid loading operations are anticipated to be <0.01 tpy each of VOCs and HAPs. Therefore, BACT to control VOC and HAPs emissions from liquid loading operations is submerged loading and best operating practices such as regular inspection of the tanks and ensuring thief hatches are closed.

Comment regarding Source Emission Calculations and DAQ Acceptance: TO Emission Estimates CO and NOx emissions from the TO are quantified based on outlet guarantees from the TO vendor of 0.06 lb/MMBtu and 0.20 lb/MMBtu, respectively. These emissions guarantees are inclusive of supplemental natural gas used in the TO. These values are converted to a mass flow basis by multiplying by the maximum heat content to the TO of 20.0 MMBtu/hr. EPA AP-42 Section 2.4, LFG Flare equations 3 & 4 have been used to calculate VOC emissions, along with the manufacturer-provided destruction efficiency of 98% VOC. Particulate matter (PM) emissions are quantified using the 17.0 lbs PM/MMdscf CH4 emission factor in AP-42 Section 2.4 (Municipal Solid Waste Landfills) Table 2.4-5 and converted to a mass basis by multiplying by the maximum inlet flow to the TO and maximum methane content. Emissions of PM less than 10 microns in diameter (PM10) and 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5) are assumed equal to PM. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions are calculated from design parameters of the sulfur removal step of the RNG process. The sulfur removal process is upstream of all vent points to the TO and is designed to remove sulfur down to a maximum of 150 ppm of total reduced sulfur (TRS) as H2S. This concentration of TRS is converted to a mass basis of SO2 using the IGL and maximum inlet flowrate to the facility. All hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions are calculated using AP-42 Section 2.4 (Municipal Solid Waste Landfills) Table 2.4-5. All organic HAP are assumed to be controlled by at least 98%. Metal HAP are assumed to be uncontrolled. Flare Emission Estimates The emissions at the back-up flare are calculated in a similar manner as described above for the TO. However, the major differences between the flare emissions calculation methodology and the TO methodology are that the emission calculations use the flowrate, methane content, and/or heat content of flare as opposed to the waste gas parameters used for the TO calculations. The control efficiency for the flare is 98%. CO and NOX emissions are based on EPA AP-42 Section 13.5, Industrial Flares. VOCs, PM, SO2, and HAPs were calculated using the same method as the TO. Tank Emission Estimates Emissions from the new 5,250-gallon condensate liquid storage tank were calculated using EPA TANKS 4.09D. The total VOC emissions from the new tank are expected to be 6.25 lbs/year or 0.003 tpy. This value is too small to be captured in the 'Summary of Emissions' table in the AO. Component Fugitive Leak Emission Estimates Fugitive Leaks Emissions were calculated based on U.S. EPA's Protocol for Equipment Leak Engineer Review N162430001: Ameresco Wasatch RNG LLC- Davis Landfill Renewable Natural Gas Facility March 6, 2025 Page 11 Estimates (EPA453/R- 95-017), Table 2-4. The gas VOC concentration was conservatively assumed to be equal to 100% of NMOCs, or 0.2975% per AP-42 Section 2.4 (Municipal Solid Waste Landfills). Emission estimates are based on the following equipment quantities: 1,500 valves, 1,500 flanges, 20 compressors/treatment skids, 10 open end lines, and 2,000 connectors. [Last updated February 26, 2025] 2. Comment regarding Federal Standard and Title V Applicability: Title V of the 1990 CAA (Title V) applies to the following: A. Any major source B. Any source subject to a standard, limitation, or other requirement under Section 111 of the Act, Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources C. Any source subject to a standard or other requirement under Section 112 of the Act, Hazardous Air Pollutants D. Any Title IV-affected source This facility is not a major source nor a Title IV source. The facility is not subject to any 40 CFR 60 (NSPS), 40 CFR 61 (NESHAP), or 40 CFR 63 (MACT) regulations. Therefore, Title V does not apply to this facility. [Last updated January 24, 2025] 3. Comment regarding Source Classification as a Synthetic Minor (SM): The major source threshold for the Northern Wasatch. Front Ozone Nonattainment area is 50 tons per year (tpy) each of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The area was redesignated from moderate to serious on January 8, 2025. The new RNG facility has an uncontrolled PTE of greater than 50 tpy of VOCs. To ensure Ameresco remains below this threshold, conditions outlined in the AO restrict the PTE from exceeding 50 tpy. Therefore, this source is considered a SM source.

2024 Page 3 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 LANDFILL FACILITY The existing Wasatch Integrated Waste Management District (WIWMD) Davis Landfill (Landfill) currently operates under Utah Department of Environmental Quality (UDEQ) Title V Air Operating Permit No. 1100033004 issued effective September 18, 2024. Decomposition of waste in the Landfill produces landfill gas (LFG) which is composed of approximately 45-55 percent methane, 35-45 percent carbon dioxide, 5-10 percent nitrogen, and 0-3 percent oxygen, as well as other trace compounds and water vapor. A gas collection and control system (GCCS) is installed and operational at the Landfill which collects LFG and delivers it to the Landfill’s flare(s) for destruction. 1.2 AMERESCO FACILITY 1.2.1 General Ameresco Wasatch RNG LLC (Ameresco) plans to install a renewable natural gas (RNG) processing facility which will receive landfill gas from the Davis Landfill and process it into RNG which will be piped to a metering station and injected into a natural gas pipeline. The planned Ameresco facility will process up to approximately 1,500 scfm of landfill gas and produce up to approximately 700 scfm of renewable natural gas. Waste gases from the Ameresco gas treatment process are planned to be combusted in a thermal oxidizer and open flare. Detailed explanations of the various processes and equipment in the Ameresco facility are explained in the following sections of this Application. The new Ameresco facility will operate continuously with occasional downtime for maintenance. Ameresco Wasatch RNG LLC is the planned legal owner, operator and permittee for the new facility. Ameresco, Inc. is the parent company of Ameresco Wasatch RNG LLC. Operation of the Ameresco facility will result in significantly less landfill gas burned in the Landfill flare(s), as much of the generated landfill gas will instead be processed into renewable natural gas. The Ameresco project allows for beneficial use of landfill gas which would otherwise be directly flared to the atmosphere. As a result, the project will provide significant public benefits that are consistent with the goals, directives, and policies of the UDEQ. The environmental benefits of this type of project have been proven by operation of several existing Ameresco RNG facilities in the United States. 1.2.2 Location The new Ameresco facility is planned to be located on the Davis Landfill property at 1997 East 3500 North, Layton, Utah 84040, as shown on the site location map in Section 5. Ameresco will lease the land from WIWMD. Notice of Intent Application – Ameresco Wasatch RNG December 19, 2024 Page 4 1.2.3 Gas Treatment System Landfill gas will be delivered to the feed blowers at the inlet of the new Ameresco facility where it will be filtered and compressed to approximately 10 psig. From the feed blowers, the LFG will enter a fixed-bed hydrogen sulfide (H2S) removal unit utilizing activated carbon media, after which it will be dehydrated to approximately 50-degree dew point. This treated landfill gas will then be sent to the feed compressors which will increase the gas pressure to approximately 250 psig using oil-flooded screw compressors. The compressed gas will then be cooled to approximately 80-degree Fahrenheit prior to it being further dehydrated and then sent to the gas separation equipment. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nonmethane organic compounds (NMOCs) and siloxane compounds will be removed from the gas stream with a Siloxane/VOC removal system using temperature or pressure swing adsorption technology (TSA or PSA). The conditioned gas will then be sent to a carbon dioxide (CO2) separation system (membrane system or PSA system) to remove CO2 from the gas. From the CO2 separation system, the gas will be sent to a PSA nitrogen (N2) removal unit to remove N2 and some amounts of oxygen (O2) remaining in the gas. The gas will be further conditioned to remove the remaining O2 by using a catalytic oxidation process in a Deoxo system. Gas leaving the Deoxo system will be dehydrated utilizing a TSA system. The TSA will have closed-loop regeneration and therefore will not vent off-gases. The gas will then be sent to product compressors where it will be pressurized to meet pipeline pressure requirements. Through the processes described above, the gas will be filtered, de-watered and compressed, thus meeting the definition of “treatment system” in Federal Code 40 CFR 60.41(f). A process flow diagram is included in this application which depicts the new facility operating process. 1.2.4 Hydrogen Sulfide Removal The H2S removal system will employ a non-regenerative dry granular media, such as activated carbon. As landfill gas passes through the treatment system, H2S will become contained in the media. Any non-H2S sulfur species may pass through the system and be present in post- treatment LFG. Once the media is spent, it will be removed and replaced. The H2S system will be a pass-through, closed system with no emissions to the atmosphere. The system will have the ability to operate continuously with occasional downtime for maintenance. The treatment system is expected to reduce the H2S content of the LFG, however it may not reduce the content of other sulfur species in the LFG. This application utilizes a concentration of 150 ppm Total Reduced Sulfur (TRS) for calculation of the Ameresco devices potential SOx emissions. The landfill gas sulfur content is variable depending on the decomposing waste, which Ameresco has no control over, and can increase significantly in a relatively short period of time. Therefore, it is necessary to apply a conservative buffer during air permitting so as not to establish a permit limit which cannot be met. Ameresco believes that 150 ppm is an appropriate representation of the landfill gas TRS concentration, accounting for fluctuations and potential future increases in the gas sulfur concentration, and accounting for non-H2S sulfur species which are not removed by the treatment system and therefore are present in gas combusted at the facility. Notice of Intent Application – Ameresco Wasatch RNG December 19, 2024 Page 5 1.2.5 Thermal Oxidizer Waste and off-spec gases produced by the processing of landfill gas will be sent to a thermal oxidizer (TOX) for destruction. Waste gases from the Siloxane/VOC, CO2 and N2 removal units will be composed primarily of CO2 and N2 and small amounts of O2, H2O, CH4 and traces of sulfur. The TOX will operate continuously with occasional downtime for maintenance. The TOX will require use of supplemental treated landfill gas, natural gas and/or product RNG when the heat input from waste gas is insufficient for proper combustion. The TOX will utilize an intermittent pilot burning treated landfill gas, natural gas, product RNG or propane. Potential emissions calculations for thermal oxidizer are included in Section 3. 1.2.6 Open Flare The Ameresco facility will include an open flare which will combust intermittent streams of process waste gases, off-spec gases, startup and shutdown gases, depress and purge gases, treated landfill gas, natural gas, and product RNG. The open flare may require use of supplemental treated landfill gas, natural gas and/or product RNG when the heat input from waste gases is insufficient for proper combustion. The open flare will utilize a continuous pilot of treated landfill gas, natural gas, product RNG or propane. The operating scenarios for the open flare may include the following: •Plant initial commissioning phase •Plant and equipment startups and shutdowns •Equipment and piping purging and depressurization •Upset and transient conditions Potential emissions calculations for the open flare are included in Section 3. 1.2.7 Condensate Tank Landfill gas entering the Ameresco facility will contain water vapor. Condensate will be removed from the gas through a dehydration system which chills the gas to below the water/gas dew point and causes condensation. The removed condensate will be collected in one (1) 5,250-gallon capacity tank to be located at the Ameresco facility prior to being pumped into the Landfill’s leachate system. The condensate tank will be closed however may have atmospheric vents which release emissions due to vapor displacement during tank filling (withdrawal losses) and liquid adjustment due to temperature changes (standing losses). Potential air emissions from the condensate tank are expected to be minimal and insignificant. Potential emissions from the tank have been calculated using the US EPA TANKS 4.09D model. Emission estimates from the tank are based on the dimensions and throughput, the vapor pressure of the liquid inside, and the weather conditions of the area. The model input parameters and model report are included in Section 3. 1.2.8 Equipment Fugitives During times when various equipment at the facility is not under vacuum, such as when the plant is down, a slight possibility exists for equipment to release extremely minor amounts of gas containing VOCs to the atmosphere. Potential fugitive emissions would be extremely minor and Notice of Intent Application – Ameresco Wasatch RNG December 19, 2024 Page 6 Ameresco understands that they are exempt under FDEP Rule 62-4.040(b) (Exemptions). Potential fugitive VOC emissions were estimated by using the emission factors in the USEPA’s Protocol for Equipment Leak Emissions Estimates, EPA 435/R-93-026, November 1995, Table 2-4. Please note that the equipment component counts used are conservative estimates of the maximum expected quantity of components. The actual number of components will be determined once the facility is constructed, and may be less. The fugitive emission calculations are included in Section 3. 1.3 POTENTIAL EMISSIONS SUMMARY As presented in Section 3 of this application, Ameresco has calculated the maximum potential emissions from the new Ameresco facility. As seen in the attached calculations, Ameresco has utilized the following key maximum values for the emissions sources: Thermal Oxidizer: Potential emissions from the thermal oxidizer have been calculated assuming unrestricted annual operation of 8,760 hours per 12-months as the device is expected to operate continuously with minimal downtime. Thermal Oxidizer Maximum Heat Input: 20.00 MMBtu/hour 480 MMBtu/24-hours 14,880 MMBtu/month 175,200 MMBtu/12-months Thermal Oxidizer Maximum Flow Rate: 1,500 scfm 90,000 scf/hour 2,160,000 scf/24-hours 66,960,000 scf/month 788,400,000 scf/12-months Open Flare: Potential emissions for the open flare have been calculated assuming unrestricted annual operation at 8,760 hours per 12-months in order to demonstrate that the facility is a true/natural minor source as opposed to a synthetic minor. However the flare is expected to operate intermittently for only a fraction of the year, therefore actual flare emissions are expected to be significantly less than the max PTE emissions shown in this application.

A thermal oxidizer was specifically selected instead of an enclosed flare. Enclosed flares and thermal oxidizers are distinctly different devices due to their design, technology and operational processes. Thermal oxidizers utilize high temperatures to destroy organic compounds by oxidation, and are designed to control gas streams with heat contents insufficient to maintain combustion. In order to maintain the temperatures necessary for control, thermal oxidizers utilize high-heat content supplemental fuels. Thermal oxidizers are designed to provide for the variable injection of supplemental fuel (treated landfill gas, NG or RNG) based on the heat content of the waste gas stream being controlled. Additionally, thermal oxidizers are designed to provide a sufficient residence time and turbulence within the combustion zone such that the waste gas, fuel, oxygen, and heat have thorough contact to provide for complete combustion and waste gas control. Enclosed flares are designed to maintain temperature solely from combustion of the inlet gas and are not designed to inject supplemental fuel or to recover heat. The heat content of the various waste gas streams associated with this process are insufficient to sustain combustion. Therefore, an enclosed flare is not a technically feasible option for control of the process waste gas streams, and a thermal oxidizer is necessary for this project. Ameresco has utilized the following emission factors for the thermal oxidizer in this air permit application: Notice of Intent Application – Ameresco Wasatch RNG December 19, 2024 Page 9 Table 1.4.1 Thermal Oxidizer Emission Factors: Pollutant Emission Factor Unit Emission Factor Source NOx 0.06 lb/MMBtu Manufacturer CO 0.20 lb/MMBtu Manufacturer VOC 98% Destruction efficiency Manufacturer PM/PM10/PM2.5 17 lb/mmscf CH4 EPA AP-42 Section 2.4 - LFG Flare - Table 2.4-4 SOx 150 ppm TRS Conservative engineering estimate HAPs 98% Destruction efficiency EPA AP-42 Section 2.4 - LFG Flare - Table 2.4-3 NOx: The thermal oxidizer NOx emission factor of 0.06 lb/MMBtu, provided by the manufacturer, is believed to be the most representative factor currently available for this device. Ameresco is not aware of any additional control technologies for a thermal oxidizer for NOx. CO: The thermal oxidizer CO emission factor of 0.20 lb/MMBtu, provided by the manufacturer, is believed to be the most representative factor currently available for this device. Ameresco is not aware of any additional control technologies for a thermal oxidizer for CO. VOC: Ameresco is unaware of an existing US EPA AP-42 section specific to thermal oxidizers, therefore the EPA AP-42 Section 2.4, LFG Flare equations 3 & 4 have been used to calculate VOC emissions, along with the manufacturer-provided destruction efficiency of 98% VOC. Ameresco is not aware of any additional control technologies for a thermal oxidizer for VOC. PM: Ameresco is unaware of an existing US EPA AP-42 section specific to thermal oxidizers, therefore the AP-42 Section 2.4, LFG Flare, Table 2.4-4 factor of 17 lb PM/mmscf CH4 has been used, as it is believed to be the most representative EPA factor currently available for this device. To prevent carryover of PM entrained in the raw landfill gas, the gas processed at the Ameresco facility goes through several steps of submicron filtration and is dehydrated to a dewpoint of approximately 40 degF prior to being introduced to the process units which generate the waste gas which is delivered to the TOX. Ameresco is not aware of any additional control technologies for a thermal oxidizer for PM. SOx: The use of an H2S gas treatment system to reduce the H2S content of the landfill gas entering the Ameresco plant is considered BACT for this project. The H2S removal system will employ a non-regenerative dry granular media, such as activated carbon. As landfill gas passes through the treatment system, H2S will become contained in the media. Any non-H2S sulfur species may pass through the system and be present in post-treatment LFG. Once the media is spent, it will be removed and replaced. The H2S system will be a pass-through, closed system with no emissions to the atmosphere. The system will have the ability to operate continuously with Notice of Intent Application – Ameresco Wasatch RNG December 19, 2024 Page 10 occasional downtime for maintenance. The treatment system is expected to reduce the H2S content of the LFG, however it may not reduce the content of other sulfur species in the LFG. This application utilizes a concentration of 150 ppm Total Reduced Sulfur (TRS) for calculation of the Ameresco devices potential SOx emissions. The landfill gas sulfur content is variable depending on the decomposing waste, which Ameresco has no control over, and can increase significantly in a relatively short period of time. Therefore, it is necessary to apply a conservative buffer during air permitting so as not to establish a permit limit which cannot be met. Ameresco believes that 150 ppm is an appropriate representation of the landfill gas TRS concentration, accounting for fluctuations and potential future increases in the gas sulfur concentration, and accounting for non-H2S sulfur species which are not removed by the treatment system and therefore are present in gas combusted at the facility. HAPs: Ameresco is unaware of an existing US EPA AP-42 section specific to thermal oxidizers, therefore the EPA AP-42 Section 2.4 landfill gas HAPs concentrations and equations 3 & 4 have been used to calculate HAP emissions, along with the AP-42 Section 2.4 Table 2.4-3 destruction efficiency of 98% VOC. Ameresco is not aware of any additional control technologies for a thermal oxidizer for HAPs. Step 3 – Rank remaining control technologies by effectiveness There are no other available control technologies identified, therefore this step is not applicable. Step 4 – Evaluate the most effective controls No additional controls were identified, therefore this step is not applicable. Step 5 – Select BACT The USEPA has established that enclosed combustion devices designed and operated with good combustion practices and maintenance practices achieve a performance appropriate for their intended purpose, therefore Ameresco believes that this standard is BACT for this project, along with the emission factors and sulfur treatment explained above. Once the plant is constructed and operating, Ameresco will be able to source test the thermal oxidizer and produce device- specific emission factors for CO, NOx, VOC, PM and SOx which will be used to calculate actual emissions from the unit. 1.4.2 Open Flare BACT Steps 1 and 2– Identify all control technologies and eliminate technically infeasible options The Ameresco facility will include an open flare which will combust intermittent streams of process waste gases, off-spec gases, startup and shutdown gases, depress and purge gases, treated landfill gas, natural gas, and product RNG. The open flare may require use of supplemental treated landfill gas, natural gas and/or product RNG when the heat input from waste gases is insufficient for proper combustion. The open flare will utilize a continuous pilot of treated landfill gas, natural gas, product RNG or propane. Notice of Intent Application – Ameresco Wasatch RNG December 19, 2024 Page 11 An open flare was specifically selected for this aspect of the project instead of a thermal oxidizer or an enclosed flare. A utility/open flare design is necessary for this application to allow for immediate control of the gas streams in response to system outages or when off-spec gas is purged from the processing equipment. The utility flare will be equipped with a continuous pilot to allow for the immediate control of these gas streams during these instances. In contrast to utility flares, the startup sequence associated with an enclosed thermal oxidizer or enclosed flare allows gas to build up within the enclosure, resulting in a potential explosion hazard. As such, enclosed thermal oxidizers and enclosed flares are not a safe, technically-feasible option for this application. Furthermore, the different process waste gas streams requiring control have highly variable heat contents and wide flow ranges. Open flares are designed to accommodate these scenarios as they can provide control for the wide range of heat contents and flow rates for this application. In contrast, enclosed thermal oxidizers and enclosed flares operate in a much narrower flow range and could not provide control of the anticipated process waste gas streams. Ameresco has utilized the following emission factors for the open flare in this air permit application: Table 1.4.2 Open Flare Emission Factors: Pollutant Emission Factor Unit Emission Factor Source NOx 0.068 lb/MMBtu Manufacturer, EPA AP-42 Section 13.5, Industrial Flares CO 0.31 lb/MMBtu Manufacturer, EPA AP-42 Section 13.5, Industrial Flares VOC 98% Destruction efficiency EPA AP-42 Section 2.4 PM/PM10/PM2.5 17 lb/mmscf CH4 EPA AP-42 Section 2.4 - LFG Flare - Table 2.4-4 SOx 150 ppm TRS Conservative engineering estimate HAPs 98% Destruction efficiency EPA AP-42 Section 2.4 - LFG Flare - Table 2.4-3 NOx: The open flare NOx emission factor of 0.068 lb/MMBtu, provided by the manufacturer and also contained in USEPA AP-42 Section 13.5 for Industrial Flares, is believed to be the most representative factor currently available for this device. Ameresco is not aware of any additional control technologies for an open flare for NOx. CO: The open flare CO emission factor of 0.31 lb/MMBtu, provided by the manufacturer and also contained in USEPA AP-42 Section 13.5 for Industrial Flares, is believed to be the most representative factor currently available for this device. Ameresco is not aware of any additional control technologies for an open flare for CO. VOC: The USEPA Section 2.4, LFG Flare, Table 2.4-3 flare destruction efficiency of 98% VOC has been used to calculate VOC emissions from the open flare. Ameresco is not aware of any additional control technologies for an open flare for VOC. Notice of Intent Application – Ameresco Wasatch RNG December 19, 2024 Page 12 PM: The USEPA AP-42 Section 2.4, LFG Flare, Table 2.4-4 factor of 17 lb PM/mmscf CH4 has been used, as it is believed to be the most representative EPA factor currently available for this device. To prevent carryover of PM entrained in the raw landfill gas, the gas processed at the Ameresco facility goes through several steps of submicron filtration and is dehydrated to a dewpoint of approximately 40 degF prior to being introduced to the process units which generate the gasws which are delivered to the open flare. Ameresco is not aware of any additional control technologies for an open flare for PM. SOx: The use of an H2S gas treatment system to reduce the H2S content of the landfill gas entering the Ameresco plant is considered BACT for this project.

HAPs: The USEPA AP-42 Section 2.4 landfill gas HAPs concentrations and equations 3 & 4 have been used to calculate HAP emissions, along with the AP-42 Section 2.4 Table 2.4-3 destruction efficiency of 98% VOC. Ameresco is not aware of any additional control technologies for an open flare for HAPs. Step 3 – Rank remaining control technologies by effectiveness There are no other available control technologies identified, therefore this step is not applicable. Step 4 – Evaluate the most effective controls No additional controls were identified, therefore this step is not applicable. Step 5 – Select BACT The USEPA has established that open flares designed and operated with good combustion practices and maintenance practices achieve a performance appropriate for their intended purpose, therefore Ameresco believes that this standard is BACT for this project, along with the emission factors and sulfur treatment explained above. Notice of Intent Application – Ameresco Wasatch RNG December 19, 2024 Page 13 1.5 PERMIT TYPE The maximum potential emissions from the planned Ameresco plant are below the major source significance levels for all pollutants, which are as follows: Pollutant PTE Major Source Threshold (ton/yr) NOx: 40 CO: 100 VOC: 100 PM10: 15 PM2.5: 10 SOx: 40 Because the maximum potential emissions are calculated assuming unrestricted (8,760 hours/year) operation, Ameresco understands this project to be a True/Natural Minor facility, and not a major source or Title V facility. 1.6 EMISSIONS IMPACT ASSESSMENT / EMISSIONS OFFSETS The proposed Ameresco Wasatch RNG LLC facility does not have potential air emissions at levels which would trigger an emissions impact assessment to demonstrate compliance with the NAAQS and PSD increments (R307-410-4). The UDEQ has established minimum emission rate increase levels for new sources or existing sources, above which air dispersion modeling is required to be performed by the applicant. The requirement to perform modeling depends on the attainment status of project area. The area in which the Ameresco plant is to be located is classified nonattainment for ozone (moderate), and attainment for all other criteria pollutants. For those pollutants in attainment, project potential emissions are below the levels at which dispersion modeling is required per R307-410-4, as follows: Pollutant Emissions Levels Requiring Modeling (tons/year) SO2 40 NO2 40 PM10 - fugitive emissions 5 PM10 - non-fugitive emissions 15 PM2.5 – combined non-fugitive emissions, fugitive dust, and fugitive emissions 10 CO 100 Ameresco understands that UDEQ currently does not require sources to perform dispersion modeling for pollutants that are not in attainment of the NAAQS if the source is located in an area that is nonattainment for that pollutant, but that sources are required to meet the following: 1. Meet applicable offsetting requirements per R307-403-4 through 403-7. 2. New or modified sources located outside a nonattainment area having a combined emissions increase of NO2, SO2, and PM10 greater than 25 TPY are required to submit a dispersion modeling analysis of the proposed source’s impact on the nonattainment area. If the source’s combined NO2, SO2, and PM10 impact on the nonattainment area is greater than 1.0 μg/m3 annually or 3.0 μg/m3 for a 24-hour averaging period, emission Notice of Intent Application – Ameresco Wasatch RNG December 19, 2024 Page 14 offsets are required (R307-403-5(1)(e). If a source’s impact is less than the concentration levels listed above, no emission offsets are required. Because the project is not a new major source or major modification, ozone offsets are not required. 1.7 PROJECT SCHEDULE Ameresco tentatively plans to begin construction of the new facility in Quarter 3 2025 (pending air permit issuance). Construction is expected to continue for approximately 12 months, with initial startup of the facility occurring in shortly thereafter. The initial commissioning phase is expected to take approximately 2 months, with the plant achieving normal operating conditions thereafter. All schedule estimates above are subject to change. 1.8 FACILITY CONTACTS The facility contacts relevant to this application are as follows: Responsible Official: Mr. Robert Meharg Vice President – Asset Operations 111 Speen Street, Suite 410 Framingham, MA 01701 (508) 598-4382 rmeharg@ameresco.com Application Contacts: Mr. Richard Peary Compliance Director 111 Speen Street, Suite 410 Framingham, MA 01701 (508) 598-3076 rpeary@ameresco.com Ms. Stevia Smith Manager – RNG Compliance 111 Speen Street, Suite 410 Framingham, MA 01701 (508) 598-4386 smiths@ameresco.com Notice of Intent Application – Ameresco Wasatch RNG December 19, 2024 Page 15 1.9 APPLICATION PROCESSING & FEE Ameresco is requesting regular processing of this application under UDEQ’s Notice of Intent approval process. Ameresco understands that expedited processing is not available, and is not being requested. Per UDEQ’s current permitted fee schedule, Ameresco understand that the fee for this application is as follows: New Minor Source or Minor Modification at Minor or Major Source: Filing Fee: $575 Review Fee: $2,500 Total: $3,075 Ameresco understands that if additional UDEQ review time beyond 20 hours, Ameresco will be invoices for such fees by UDEQ. Ameresco has paid this fee online via UDEQ’s permitting payment portal at the time of application submission. 1.10 REGULATORY REVIEW 1.10.1 Title V Title V is a Federal program designed to standardize air quality permits and the permitting process for major sources of emissions. The name "Title V" comes from Title V of the 1990 federal Clean Air Act Amendments which required that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) establish a national operating permit program. Accordingly, EPA adopted regulations [Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1, Part 70 (Part 70)], which required states and local permitting authorities to develop and submit a federally enforceable operating permit programs for EPA approval. 1.10.2 Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) The Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) air quality regulations apply to construction of a new major stationary source or a project at an existing major stationary source. The planned Ameresco facility is not a major stationary source as it does not have the potential to emit 250 tons per year or more of a regulated new source review pollutant. Therefore, PSD requirements do not apply to the planned Ameresco project. 1.10.3 New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) 1.10.3.1 40 CFR 60 Subpart XXX, Municipal Solid Waste Landfills That Commenced Construction, Reconstruction, or Modification After July 17, 2014 All landfill gas entering the Ameresco facility will be filtered, de-watered and compressed, therefore the facility Treatment System is subject to the NSPS 40 CFR 60 Subpart XXX. The facility thermal oxidizer and open flare are not subject to the NSPS Subpart XXX as they will receive treated landfill gas. In accordance with 40 CFR 60.766, Ameresco will be required to maintain and operate monitoring systems associated with the treatment system in accordance with a site-specific treatment system monitoring plan and calibrate, maintain, and operate according to the manufacturer's specifications a device that records flow to the treatment system and bypass of the treatment system (if applicable). A treatment system monitoring plan will be required to include all details specified in 40 CFR 60.768(b)(5)(ii). Notice of Intent Application – Ameresco Wasatch RNG December 19, 2024 Page 16 1.10.4 National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 1.10.4.1 40 CFR 63, Subpart AAAA, Municipal Solid Waste Landfills All landfill gas entering the Ameresco facility will be filtered, de-watered and compressed, therefore the facility Treatment System is subject to the NSPS 40 CFR 63 Subpart AAAA. The facility thermal oxidizer and open flare are not subject to the NESHAP Subpart AAAA as they will receive treated landfill gas. In accordance with 40 CFR 63.1961, Ameresco will be required to calibrate, maintain, and operate according to the manufacturer's specifications a device that records flow to the treatment system and bypass of the treatment system (if applicable), and maintain and operate all monitoring systems associated with the treatment system in accordance with the site-specific treatment system monitoring plan. A treatment system monitoring plan will be required to include all details specified in 40 CFR 63.1983(b)(5)(ii). 1.11 STATIONARY SOURCE EVALUATION In order to determine regulatory applicability for proposed projects, a stationary source valuation must be performed. A stationary source means any building, structure, facility, or installation that emits or may emit any regulated air pollutant or any pollutant listed under section 112(b) of the Clean Air Act. Ameresco understands that the EPA instructs that three (3) criteria must be met in determining if multiple emission sources and activities are considered part of the same single source for air permitting purposes, as follow: 1. Belong to the same industrial grouping, 2. Are located on one or more contiguous or adjacent property, and 3. Are under common control. The following sections evaluate these three aspects. 1.11.1 Industrial Grouping The planned Ameresco facility is best described by the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code 4925: Mixed, Manufactured, or Liquefied Petroleum Gas Production and/or Distribution. Ameresco understands that the Davis Landfill is best described by code 4953: Refuse Systems, which is typically used for municipal solid waste landfills. Therefore, the Ameresco facility belong to a different industrial grouping than the Davis Landfill. 1.11.2 Contiguous / Adjacent Property The Ameresco facility will be physically located onsite at the Davis Landfill on a leased area of land. Therefore, the Ameresco facility and the Landfill are located on a contiguous property. 1.11.3 Common Control As stated in a letter from Mr. William Wehrum of the EPA Office of Air and Radiation to the Honorable Patrick McDonnell of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection dated April 30, 2018, the EPA’s assessment of “control” for Title V and NSR permitting purposes focuses on the “power or authority of one entity to dictate decisions of the other that could affect the applicability of, or compliance with, relevant air pollution regulatory requirements.” Based on this Notice of Intent Application – Ameresco Wasatch RNG December 19, 2024 Page 17 determination by the EPA, Ameresco has further evaluated the relationship between its facility and the Landfill and has determined that the two are not under common control. Ameresco, Inc. is the parent company of Ameresco Wasatch RNG LLC, who is the owner and operator of the new Ameresco facility. The Davis Landfill is owned by the Wasatch Integrated Waste Management District, which has no relationship to Ameresco, Inc. or Ameresco Wasatch RNG LLC. Ameresco Wasatch RNG LLC, a commercial entity, and Wasatch Integrated Waste Management District, a municipal entity, are owned and operated separately. The two entities do not perform any activities related to operation of each other’s facilities, and do not share employees, management, administrative functions, equipment, or training activities. Each entity is also unable to restrict the other’s use of its own facility. Ameresco Wasatch RNG LLC and the Wasatch Integrated Waste Management District-Davis Landfill are not dependent on each other for compliance with Federal or State regulatory emissions limitations and requirements. The Ameresco plant is a voluntary installation which is not required for emissions compliance. The Landfill includes permitted flare(s) which can combust all landfill gas collected from the landfill. When the Ameresco facility ceases acceptance of landfill gas from the Landfill for either planned or unplanned reasons, the Landfill combusts all collected gas in its flare(s) in the same manner as was done prior to the construction of the Ameresco plant. Ameresco and the Landfill will hold separate air permits and be subject to individual emissions limits contained in those permits based on separate potential emissions calculations performed by both entities. Neither entity bears responsibility for the emissions projections produced by the other, and neither party has control over the other’s compliance with emissions limits. Ameresco and the Landfill are subject to different sets of regulatory requirements. The Landfill’s current air permit contains requirements relevant to a municipal solid waste landfill facility, and Ameresco’s future air permit will contain requirements applicable to a renewable gas processing facility, and the compliance obligations for both entities are distinctly different. Ameresco and the Landfill have a mutually beneficial contractual agreement. However, this business arrangement provides no power or authority to dictate the decisions of each other. Common control is not shared by Ameresco Wasatch RNG LLC and the Wasatch Integrated Waste Management District Davis Landfill and the facilities do not belong to the same industrial grouping, therefore the Ameresco and Landfill facilities have met only one of the three necessary criteria, and therefore are not a single source and should maintain regulatory separation.
