Project Description
Compass has requested to replace an emergency generator with an engine from their West Desert facility.
Engine OGN007 will be replaced with OGN003. This will result in a small decrease in NOx and SO2
emissions and a small increase in CO emissions. The removal of crusher OCR503 is also documented in
this project, which resulted in a minor reduction in particulate emissions.

Project Description
Compass has requested to replace an emergency generator with an engine from their West Desert facility.
Engine OGN007 will be replaced with OGN003. This will result in a small decrease in NOx and SO2
emissions and a small increase in CO emissions. The removal of crusher OCR503 is also documented in
this project, which resulted in a minor reduction in particulate emissions.

Ian,
My name is Stockton Antczak. I'm not sure if Jacob let you know, but he moved to another position at the DEQ so I will be
the engineer taking over these projects. I show that you are the contact for the west desert site, but are you also for the
production plant? It is also my understanding that Jacob had asked you for some information for these sites, and you may
have tried sending them to him at his old email. They ended up giving him a new one so his old email is now inactive.
Either way, once you have those documents ready you can send them over to me and I can get things moving along. Feel
free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks,
Stockton

Ian,
I have finished my engineering review and I am going to send it through peer review. I just wanted to double check the
PTE values since this project not only includes the engine replacement but also the removal of crusher OCR503 which
was requested in an NOI last year. I wasn't sure how the crusher removal would affect the numbers since I had two
separate NOIs to work with so I wanted to send you my review a little early and have you confirm the PTE values. The
PTE values in the attached review are based on the engine replacement NOI so my main question would be if the PTE
values in the engine replacement NOI included the removal of the crusher or not. If you could take a look at it and let me
know I would appreciate it. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
I have also attached the both NOIs for your reference.
Thanks,
Stockton

Ian,
I was able to chat with my manager about this and got some clarification. If you are just renting equipment for temporary
use, it does not have to be permitted as long as it does not exceed 180 days of use on site in a year. The few weeks you
anticipate needing it on site would fall well below that. Then, ideally, you would send us a notification when you intend to
have it on site, briefly letting us know the scope and how long you anticipate to have the crusher on site, and we will send
a letter back. Hopefully this makes your life a little easier. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Thanks,
Stockton

having our VP of Operations sign (hence the delay). Thank you for your patience.
