GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
22. This permit and any attachments must be retained and made available for inspection upon
request. The permit may be reissued to a new owner by the APCD as provided in AQCC
Regulation No. 3, Part B, Section II.B upon a request for transfer of ownership and the
submittal of a revised APEN and the required fee.
23. If this permit specifically states that final authorization has been granted, then the remainder
of this condition is not applicable. Otherwise, the issuance of this construction permit does
not provide "final" authority for this activity or operation of this source. Final authorization of
the permit must be secured from the APCD in writing in accordance with the provisions of
25-7-114.5(12)(a) C.R.S. and AQCC Regulation No. 3, Pad B, Section III.G. Final
authorization cannot be granted until the operation or activity commences and has been
verified by the APCD as conforming in all respects with the conditions of the permit. Once
self -certification of all points has been reviewed and approved by the Division, it will provide
written documentation of such final authorization. Details for obtaining final authorization
to operate are located in the Requirements to Self -Certify for Final Authorization
section of this permit.
24. This permit is issued in reliance upon the accuracy and completeness of information
supplied by the owner or operator and is conditioned upon conduct of the activity, or
construction, installation and operation of the source, in accordance with this information and
with representations made by the owner or operator or owner or operator's agents. It is valid
only for the equipment and operations or activity specifically identified on the permit.
25. Unless specifically stated otherwise, the general and specific conditions contained in this
permit have been determined by the APCD to be necessary to assure compliance with the
provisions of Section 25-7-114.5(7)(a), C.R.S.
26. Each and every condition of this permit is a material part hereof and is not severable. Any
challenge to or appeal of a condition hereof shall constitute a rejection of the entire permit
and upon such occurrence, this permit shall be deemed denied ab initio. This permit may be
revoked at any time prior to self -certification and final authorization by the Air Pollution
Control Division (APCD) on grounds set forth in the Colorado Air Quality Control Act and
regulations of the Air Quality Control Commission (AQCC), including failure to meet any
express term or condition of the permit. If the Division denies a permit, conditions imposed
upon a permit are contested by the owner or operator, or the Division revokes a permit, the
owner or operator or owner or operator of a source may request a hearing before the AQCC
for review of the Division's action.
27. Section 25-7-114.7(2)(a), C.R.S. requires that all sources required to file an Air Pollution
Emission Notice (APEN) must pay an annual fee to cover the costs of inspections and
administration. If a source or activity is to be discontinued, the owner must notify the
Division in writing requesting a cancellation of the permit. Upon notification, annual fee
billing will terminate.
28. Violation of the terms of a permit or of the provisions of the Colorado Air Pollution Prevention
and Control Act or the regulations of the AQCC may result in administrative, civil or criminal

Re. ulation 1 - Particulate Smoke, Carbon Monoxide and Sulfur Dioxide
007,008
Section II.A.1 - Except as provided in paragraphs 2 through 6 below, no owner or operator
of a source shall allow or cause the emission into the atmosphere of any air pollutant which
is in excess of 20% opacity. This standard is based on 24 consecutive opacity readings
taken at 15 -second intervals for six minutes. The approved reference test method for
visible emissions measurement is EPA Method 9 (40 CFR, Part 60, Appendix A (July,
1992)) in all subsections of Section II. A and B of this regulation.
Section ll.A.5 - Smokeless Flare or Flares for the Combustion of Waste Gases No owner
or operator of a smokeless flare or other flare for the combustion of waste gases shall
allow or cause emissions into the atmosphere of any air pollutant which is in excess of
30% opacity for a period or periods aggregating more than six minutes in any sixty
consecutive minutes.
Regulation 2 — Odor
007,008
Section l.A - No person, wherever located, shall cause or allow the emission of odorous air
contaminants from any single source such as to result in detectable odors which are
measured in excess of the following limits: For areas used predominantly for residential or
commercial purposes it is a violation if odors are detected after the odorous air has been
diluted with seven (7) or more volumes of odor free air.
Regulation 3,- APENs, Construction Permits, Operatinq.Permits PSD
007,008
Part A-APEN Requirements
Criteria Pollutants: For criteria pollutants, Air Pollutant Emission Notices are required for:
each individual emission point in a non -attainment area with uncontrolled actual emissions
of one ton per year or more of any individual criteria pollutant (pollutants are not summed)
for which the area is in non -attainment.
(Applicant is required to file an APEN since emissions exceed 9 ton per year VOC)
007,008
Part B — Construction Permit Exemptions
Applicant is required to obtain a permit since uncontrolled VOC emissions from this
facility are greater than the 2.0 TPY threshold (Reg. 3, Part B, Section 11.D.3.a)
Regulation 6 - New Source Performance Standards
Page 3
007,008
NSPS Kb: for storage vessels greater than 19,800 gallons after 7/23/84.
Is this source greater than 19,800 gallons (471 bbl)? Yes
Is this source subject to NSPS Kb? No
This is at an E&P site and is below 10,000 barrels.
Re•ulation 7- Volatile Organic Compounds
007,008
XII. VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUND EMISSIONS FROM OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS
(Applicant is subject to the emission control requirements for condensate tanks
since it is located in a non -attainment area.)
XVII.C STATEWIDE CONTROLS FOR OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS...
(Applicant is currently subject to this since actual uncontrolled emissions are
greater than 20 tpy of VOC.)
Re• ulation 8 — Hazardous Air Pollutants
007,008
MACT EEEE: Organic Liquids Distribution
Pick one:
• This source is not subject to MACT EEEE because it is located at a "production
field facility" as defined in 40 CFR 63.761 (located upstream of the natural gas
processing plant).
007,008
MACT HH
Pick one:
• This source is not subject to MACT HH because it is not located at a major source
of HAP.

Condensate Storage Tanks
Site was orig nally intended as a GP01. Due to our considering the GP01 emission limit to be 39 tons, the
source had to change to individual permit in order to not lose GP02s. The source was asked to clarify its
methods for estimating emissions with its modeling program, and after receiving this information in
January, the source was required to submit an O&M plan.
Source submitted standard O&M plan but asked that method 22 be waived, and that because source
wanted to have a GP01, that source should have O&M requirements that mirror the general permit. The
division agreed that this was a fair concession, given that requiring method 22 may require a restructuring
of the source's maintenance schedule and methods. The source provided an O&M with a more general
'visual opacity inspection' on a daily basis, and this has been deemed sufficient. Received 04/16/2013.
