PUBLIC NOTICE OF A PROPOSED PROJECT
OR ACTIVITY WARRANTING PUBLIC COMMENT
The Colorado Air Pollution Control Division declares the following proposed construction
activity warrants public comment. Therefore, the Air Pollution Control Division of the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment hereby gives NOTICE, pursuant to Section 25-7-
114.5(5), C.R.S. of the Colorado Air Quality Control Act that the Division received an
application for an air pollution emission permit on the following proposed project and activity:
Whiting Oil and Gas Corporation proposes to construct and operate and oil and gas production
facility in Weld County. The facility has the potential to emit (PTE) of 743 tons of volatile
organic compounds per year. The draft permit has limitations that will reduce emissions to 37.1
tons per year of volatile organic compounds. Since this source has the potential to emit greater
than 250 tons per year of volatile organic compounds, but is willing to accept limits to bring the
emissions below 250 tons per year, this source is considered to be a synthetic minor source for
volatile organic compounds as such, this permit is subject to public comment per Regulation 3,
Part B, Section III.C.1.
The Division hereby solicits and requests submission of public comment from any interested
person concerning the aforesaid proposed project and activities to comply with the applicable
standards and regulations of the Commission for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this
publication. Any such comment must be submitted in writing to the following addressee:
Michael Cleary
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
4300 Cherry Creek Drive South, APCD-SS-BI
Denver, Colorado 80246-1530
Within thirty (30)days following the said thirty(30)-day period for public comment, the Division
shall consider comments and, pursuant to Section 25-7-1 14.5(7)(a), either grant, deny, or grant
with conditions,the emission permits. Said public comment is solicited to enable consideration of
approval of and objections to the proposed construction of the subject project and activity by
affected persons.
A copy of the applications for the emission permits, the preliminary analysis of said applications,
and accompanying data concerning the proposed project and activity are available for inspection
at the office of the Clerk and Recorder of Weld County during regular business hours and at the
office of the Air Pollution Control Division, Colorado Department of Public Health and

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
001
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.
Regulation 2—Odor
Section I.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
001 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, Operating Permits, PSD
Part A-APEN Requirements
Criteria Pollutants: For criteria pollutants, Air Pollutant Emission Notices are required for:
001 each individual emission point in an attainment area with uncontrolled actual emissions of
two tons per year or more of any individual criteria pollutant (pollutants are not summed)for
which the area is attainment.
(Applicant is required to file an APEN since emissions exceed 2 tons per year VOC)

Section 14— Miscellaneous Application Notes
AIRS Point 001 Separator
There is currently no gas pipeline infrastructure available for this facility so associated gas, which is not
used by on-site equipment, is currently sent to a flare.
This source will need to go to public comment. (new source establishing synthetic minor status)
The GlyCalc model was based off of an extended gas analysis dated 2/14/2012. An updated extended
gas analysis will not be required because:
• an extended gas analysis was performed within a year of this submittal and included with this
package
Emissions were calculated using VOC wt fraction.
Flowrate MW mass fraction
(scf/hr) * (Ib/Ib-mol) " (% fraction from sales gas analysis)/(379.4 scf/lb-mol) = lb/hr * (hr/yr)/2000 lb/T)
= TPY
VOC = (743.0 TPY *2000 lb/T)/ (47.45 MMscf/yr) = 31,317.21b/MMscf
Benzene = 5764 lb/yr/47.45 MMscf/yr= 121.475 lb/MMscf
Toluene = 6807 lb/yr/47.45 MMscf/yr= 143.456 lb/MMscf
n-Hexane = 45807 lb/yr/47.45 MMscf/yr= 965.374 lb/MMscf
Monthly process and emission limits are typically included for synthetic minor sources. However, given
the changing, non-linear profile of production at E&P sites, these monthly limits have been removed as
they could cause a compliance issue.
