Daniel,
Please see requested records attached.
Total Gasoline purchased in 2024 was 2,986.5 gallons.
Quick question on Condition II.B.2.c.1.D. If I were to just say the Temperature is below freezing, yes or no (instead of listing the freezing
temperature), would that meet the requirement?

Thanks Suzy, I'll review these records and get back to you.
Regarding II.B.2.c.1.d, just saying yes or no is sufficient. What we really want to see is that watering or other dust control measures are
taking place on days when temperatures are high enough to cause dust issues.

Suzy,
Could you provide me with the hp for the current engine on your diesel generator as well as the year of manufacture? In your permit, it lists
these numbers as 396 kW / 530 hp and manufactured in 2000, but I have in my notes that the generator is 320 kW and that matches the
name plate I looked at as well. To determine the hp you might need to reach out to the manufacturer or look at the manual for the engine.

Here is the generator information showing 320 kW:
A consultant explained the difference in these numbers to me as the 320 kW rating is accurate for the generator, i.e., that is the
electrical power rating; and the 530 hp rating is accurate for the generator’s engine, i.e., the mechanical power required to produce 320

these numbers as 396 kW / 530 hp and manufactured in 2000, but I have in my notes that the generator is 320 kW and that matches the name
plate I looked at as well. To determine the hp you might need to reach out to the manufacturer or look at the manual for the engine.

Suzy - some notes after review of my memo from my manager:
The I.8 notification that you sent to Bryce Bird on October 9, 2023... was that sent through snail mail or via email?
Some of your production tables are labeled as "Confidential Business Information". My manager wants me to make sure you know that it will
be a public record once I complete my report. All records required by the AO are public information. If you want to claim CBI, that has to be
done during the permitting process.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Daniel

Thank you for clarifying. We could not find it in the source file, so it is possible that the email was misplaced when it was sent. We appreciate
you submitting it well before the 18-month window.
On any future AO modification that requires I.8 notification, please be sure to follow this guideline "To ensure proper credit when notifying the
Director, send the documentation to the Director, attn.: NSR Section." The NSR manager is Alan Humpherys (ahumpherys@utah.gov).
Please cc him on any letter to Bryce.
You could also cc my manager, Chad Gilgen (cgilgen@utah.gov) or myself. We would also ensure that it is properly added to your file.
Please confirm receipt of this email, and then I will submit my memorandum.
Thank you,
Daniel

Understood. I have attached the email if that is helpful. Susan had conducted an inspection shortly before we sent this and
informed me I only needed to email it to her.
I will follow the provided guidance in the future.
