Carbon Monoxide and Sulfur Dioxide 003, 004 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 II.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 v,: 003, 004 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. rReatilation 3-APENs, Construction -Permits: Operating Permits.. PSD Y -7'" ,.; 003, 004 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 non -attainment. (Applicant is required to file an APEN since emissions from production exceed I ton per year VOC) 003, 004 Part B — Construction Permit Exemptions Applicant is required to file a permit since TOTAL FACILITY uncontrolled VOC emissions are greater than the 2.0 TPY threshold (Reg. 3, Part B, Section lI.D.2.a) Page 4 Regulation 6 - New Source PerformanceStandards 003 None 004 NSPS KKK: Equipment Leaks of VOC from onshore natural gas processing plants. Affected facilities at onshore natural gas facilities (any processing site engaged in the extraction of natural gas liquids from field gas, fractionation of mixed natural gas liquids (NGLs) or both). Is this source at a "natural gas processing plant?" No Is this source subject to NSPS KKK? No WHY? Facility not defined as a natural gas processing plant, therefore, does not meet the criteria of NSPS KKK. Reg elation 7 Volatile Organic+Compodn s, 003 None 004 Section XII.G: If facility is a natural gas processing plant located in non -attainment area, then subject to Section XII.G. Facility is not a natural gas processing plant, therefore, not subject to Section XII.G. Requlalioh,8 — Hazardous Air Pollutants 003 None 004 MACT HH: If facility is MAJOR source for HAP (summation of HAPS of dehydrators and fugitives), then fugitive emissions are subject to MACT HH. Is this facility considered MAJOR for HAPS? No Is this source subject to MACT HH? No WHY? Facility is area source for MACT HH, therefore, only TEG dehydrators are subject to MACT HH. This facility has no TEG dehydrators, so facility not subject to MACT HH.

I emailed the Operator on 8/8/12 for the gas analysis. Operator emailed gas analysis on 8/28/12. Gas analysis showed no BTEX. Original VOC calculations did not include emissions from the separator. Received new calculations on 12/21/12 and generated a new VOC emission factor to account for "associated gas" emissions that will be controlled: VOC = (54.09 *2000)/ 2630 = 41.13 lb/MCF Page 5 AIRS Point 004 Fugitive emissions A permit will be issued because the uncontrolled VOC emissions are greater than 1 TPY (APEN threshold) and TOTAL FACILITY is greater than 2 TPY (permit threshold). Operator did not include associated gas analysis with the application. I emailed the Operator on 8/15/12 for the gas analysis. Operator emailed gas analysis on 8/28/12. Gas analysis showed no BTEX. I calculated fugitives based on the spreadsheet provided by the operator that converted mol °A from the gas analysis to wt % VOC. I calculated the same emissions as the operator. RACT was not included in the application. I emailed the operator on 8/8/12 with a common condition the Division uses to meet compliance for fugitive RACT. Mr. Ingerson with Chesapeake called me and said that the fugitive condition is acceptable and Chesapeake will have no problems complying with it.
