Company Name: PacifiCorp Energy

Location: PacifiCorp: Huntington Power Plant – P. O. Box 680, Huntington, UT, Emery County

Project Description: On April 15, 2008, PacifiCorp Energy submitted an NOI to install new emissions control equipment at the Huntington Power Plant on the Unit #1 boiler in order to substantially reduce plant emissions. This NOI was supplemented with CO modeling information in January 2009. The new emissions control equipment will consist of new low-NOx burners, replacement of the electrostatic precipitator with a fabric filter baghouse, and upgrade of the flue gas desulfurization system. In addition, PacifiCorp Energy is requesting plantwide applicability limits (PALs) for SO2 and NOx emissions, along with lower emission limits for Unit #1 for those same pollutants.

Because the installation of the low-NOx burners on Unit #1 may increase CO emissions, and because the emissions evaluation indicates that the future potential CO emissions increase is above the PSD significance threshold of 100 tons per year, PacifiCorp further requests that a CO emissions limit be established for Unit #1.

The Unit #1 and #2 boilers are subject to New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), Part 60 Subpart D. Title IV and Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act apply to this source. The Title V Operating Permit will be updated prior to operating the modified equipment. The source is located in Emery County, which is an attainment area of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for all pollutants.

After the installation and upgrades of the control equipment, the emissions from the #1 boiler, in tons per year, will change as follows: PM10 = -835, NOx = -546, SO2 = -13,921, CO = +7,109, VOC = +25, and H2SO4 = -14.8.

The change in emissions will result in the following, in tons per year, totals for the plant: PM10 = 925, NOx = 11,356, SO2 = 5,220, CO = 7,893, VOC = 119, and H2SO4 = 1.6.

Established PALs for the plant include the PSD significance level of 40 tons per year, and are set at NOx = 11,396 tons/year and SO2 = 5,260 tons/year based on a 12-month rolling average.

The completed engineering evaluation and air quality impact analysis showed that the proposed project meets the requirements of federal air quality regulations and the State air quality rules. Approval is recommended.

The proposal and estimate of the effect on local air quality can be reviewed at the Division of Air Quality. Call 801-536-4000 to schedule an appointment.

Staker & Parson Companies operate the Brigham City Pit under an Approval Order (AO) (DAQE-AN0100110005-07) and the aggregate, asphalt and concrete batch plants under an AO (DAQE-AN0100410009-08). The two sites were separated by a large alluvial feature. Now the extraction of aggregates has progressed to the point that there is no distinction between the two sites. The source, therefore, requests combining of the two operations. The equipment for the new combined AO consists of most pieces of equipment from the two existing AOs, with exception that six screens, one crusher and one gasoline engine are removed from the combined AO. The source also requests the addition of two screens and one jaw crusher. Annual production levels for the aggregate processing, asphalt and cement plants remain the same, with the combined total processed aggregate of 2,800,000 tons per year. The site location is an attainment area of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for all pollutants. New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) Subparts I and OOO apply to the source.

The emissions, in tons per year, will change as follows: PM10 (-) 1.42, NOx (-) 11.15, SO2 (-) 1.06, CO (-) 14.26, and VOC (-) 1.98. The changes in emissions will result in the following, in tons per year, potential to emit totals: PM10 = 24.80, NOx = 41.26, SO2 = 11.74, CO = 49.68, VOC = 8.66, and HAPs = 0.81.

Holly Refining & Marketing (Holly) entered into a consent decree (CD) on July 2, 2008. In compliance with paragraph 137 of that CD, Holly submitted a Notice of Intent (NOI) on September 19, 2008. This NOI was to incorporate the limitations and standards imposed by the CD into Holly's Approval Order (AO). On December 23, 2008, Holly submitted an addendum to the NOI to incorporate the requirements of paragraph 46. These various requirements are summarized as follows:

Incorporate new permit limits on heaters 8H1 and 12H1 based on performance tests conducted in October 2008

Inclusion of a small portable electric generator for use as an emergency power supply with an associated hours of operation limitation

Make several changes to the Indicators section of Holly's AO relating to SRU efficiency and monitoring

Impose a restriction on the burning of fuel oil except during periods of natural gas curtailment.

Limit the throughput of the catalytic cracking unit to 3,250,000 barrels per year.

The new diesel generator and the new heater permit limits will result in an increase in allowable emissions from the refinery. Particulate matter, SO2 and CO emissions will all increase by less than 1 ton per year. Emissions of NOx will increase by 39.9 tons per year, primarily as a result of the more accurate values provided by performance testing on heaters 8H1 and 12H1. While this is an increase over the values from Holly's existing AO, the new totals are less than the existing limitations from section IX.H.2.f of the PM10 SIP. Holly is located in Davis County, which is a maintenance area for ozone. Holly is also defined as a contributing source for the Salt Lake County PM10 nonattainment area.

The completed engineering evaluation and air quality impact analysis showed that the proposed project meets the requirements of federal air quality regulations and the State air quality rules. Approval is recommended.

COMMENT THROUGH JULY 30, 2009
SOLID AND HAZARDOUS WASTE

Public Notice of Proposed Rule Changes

The Utah Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste is proposing changes to the Used Oil Management Rules (R315-15). The used oil management rules address the permitting of used oil facilities and the proper management and recycling of used oil in the state. Specifically, R315-15-6.2 specifies that off-specification used oil may only be burned for energy recovery in certain devices, such as hazardous waste incinerators. In addition, R315-15-13.6(b) requires facilities that desire to burn off-specification used oil to apply for and receive a permit from the Executive Secretary of the Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Control Board prior to burning off-specification used oil.

The purpose of the proposed rule changes is to allow hazardous waste incinerator facilities which currently hold a hazardous waste permit issued by the Executive Secretary to burn off-specification used oil without the need to also obtain a separate off-specification used oil burner permit under the Utah used oil management rules, R315-15-13.6(b).

Currently, there is one permitted hazardous waste incinerator operating in Utah, and the requirements for storage, testing, and record keeping of materials (including off-specification used oil) to be burned at the facility are as stringent as the used oil management rules and permitting requirements. Also, Division personnel inspect this hazardous waste incinerator facility on a regular and frequent basis to ensure compliance with the requirements of the hazardous waste permit. Therefore, the proposed rule changes would eliminate the need for a separate off-specification used oil burner permit (if certain conditions are met), and would reduce the redundant requirements already addressed by the hazardous waste permit.
