SECTION I- General Activities and Summary
1. Permitted Activities
1.1 This facility consists of one natural gas reciprocating compressor engine and a glycol
dehydration unit designed to compress and condition natural gas for transmission to sales
pipelines. Fugitive VOC emissions from equipment leaks and VOC emissions from condensate
storage tanks are above APEN de minimis levels (2 tpy). The station receives natural gas from
nearby gas fields. Condensates are separated by gravity from the field gas and stored in above
ground tanks for transport off the site by truck. The reciprocating engine powers a compressor to
pressurize the gas which is then dehydrated via contact with triethylene glycol within the
dehydration unit. The dehydrator is equipped with a flare to control VOC emissions. Moisture
is driven off the glycol by evaporation. Compressed gas is then delivered to sales pipelines.
The facility is located near Fort Lupton, Colorado, in rural Weld County, an area, which is
designated as attainment for all criteria pollutants, but is located in the 8-hr Ozone Control Area
as defined in the Federal Register,Volume 69,No. 84,dated April 30, 2004.
There are no affected states within 50 miles of the plant. The following designated Federal
Class I areas are within 100 kilometers of the plant: Rocky Mountain National Park.
1.2 Until such time as this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is allowed to
discharge air pollutants from this facility in accordance with the requirements, limitations, and
conditions of this permit.
1.3 This Operating Permit incorporates the applicable requirements contained in the underlying
construction permits, and does not affect those applicable requirements, except as modified
during review of the application or as modified subsequent to permit issuance using the
modification procedures found in Regulation No. 3, Part C. These Part C procedures meet all
applicable substantive New Source Review requirements of Part B. Any revisions made using
the provisions of Regulation No. 3, Part C shall become new applicable requirements for
purposes of this Operating Permit and shall survive reissuance. This permit incorporates the
applicable requirements (except as noted in Section II) from the following construction permits
(formerly issued to KN Wattenberg Transmission, LLC): 13WE204 and 94WE760-1.
1.4 All conditions in this permit are enforceable by US Environmental Protection Agency, Colorado
Air Pollution Control Division (hereinafter Division) and its agents, and citizens unless
otherwise specified. State-only enforceable conditions are: Permit Condition Number(s):
Section II, Condition 5 (ozone early action compact requirements) and Section IV - Conditions
3.g, 14 and 18 (as noted).
1.5 All information gathered pursuant to the requirements of this permit is subject to the
Recordkeeping and Reporting requirements listed under Condition 22 of the General Conditions
in Section IV of this permit, unless otherwise specified. All records required by General
Operating Permit Number: 95OPWE033 First Issued: 11/01/97

2. Alternative Operating Scenarios
The following Alternative Operating Scenario (AOS) for temporary and permanent engine replacement
has been reviewed in accordance with the requirements of Regulation No. 3., Part A, Section IV.A,
Operational Flexibility-Alternative Operating Scenarios, and Regulation No. 3, Part B, Construction
Permits,and has been found to meet all applicable substantive and procedural requirements. This permit
incorporates and shall be considered a Construction Permit for any engine replacement performed in
accordance with this AOS, and the permittee shall be allowed to perform such engine replacement
without applying for a revision to this permit or obtaining a new Construction Permit.
For purposes of Regulation No. 3, Part B, Section III.F.4.a., any engine replacement authorized under
this AOS shall commence operation upon notation of same in the contemporaneous log as required
below. Results of any testing required below shall be used for comparison to the applicable permitted
emission limits.
2.1 Temporary Engine Replacement(ver 7/18/03)
The following AOS is incorporated into this permit in order to deal with a compressor engine
breakdown or periodic maintenance and repair that requires the use of a temporary replacement
engine. "Temporary" is defined as in the same service for 90 operating days or less in any 12
month period. The 90 days is the total number of days that the engine is in operation. If the
engine operates only part of a day, that day counts towards the 90 day total. Note that the
compliance demonstrations made as part of this AOS are in addition to any compliance
demonstrations required by this permit.
2.1.1 The pennittee may temporarily replace an existing compressor engine that is subject
to the emission limits set forth in this permit with an engine that is of the same
manufacturer, model, and horsepower or a different manufacturer, model, or
horsepower as the existing engine without modifying this permit, so long as the
emissions from the temporary replacement engine comply with the emission
limitations for the existing permitted engine as described in Conditions 2.1.2 or 2.1.6
below. Measurement of emissions from the temporary replacement engine shall be
made as follows:
The permittee shall measure nitrogen oxide (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO)
emissions in the exhaust from the temporary replacement engine using a portable flue
gas analyzer within seven (7) calendar days of commencing operation of the
temporary replacement engine. Calibration of the analyzer shall be conducted
according to manufacturer's instructions.
Operating Penult Number: 95OPWE033 First Issued: 11/01/97
Renewed: 12/1/04
Last Revised: 3/27/06
Air Pollution Control Division Kerr-McGee Gathering LLC
Colorado Operating Permit Dougan Compressor Station
Permit# 95OPWE033 Page 3
In the absence of credible evidence to the contrary, results of the portable flue gas
analyzer test shall be determinative of enforceable compliance or noncompliance of
the temporary replacement engine with the emission limitations of the existing
permitted engine as described in Conditions 2.1.2 or 2.1.6 below.
An exceedance of either the NOx or CO emission limitation during the initial portable
flue gas analyzer test shall require a subsequent portable flue gas analyzer test
indicating compliance with both the NOx and CO emission limitations within 14
calendar days of commencing operation of the replacement engine. Calibration gases
shall be used to calibrate the portable analyzer for all tests conducted subsequent to
the initial test.
In the absence of credible evidence to the contrary, if portable flue gas analyzer
results indicate compliance with both the NOx and CO emission limitations within
the 14 day period, the temporary replacement engine will be considered to be in
compliance for purposes of this AOS from the time that the replacement engine
commenced operation until the replacement engine is taken off line.
If portable flue gas analyzer results fail to indicate the compliance with either the NO,,
or CO emission limitations within the 14 day period, the source will notify the
Division in writing within 10 calendar days of the end of the 14 day period. In the
absence of credible evidence to the contrary, the temporary replacement engine will
be considered to be out of compliance from the time that the temporary replacement
engine commenced operation until the engine is taken off line. Results of all testing
that indicates noncompliance shall be submitted to the Division within 10 calendar
days of the end of the 14 day period.
2.1.2 The permittee may temporarily replace a grandfathered or permit exempt engine or an
engine that is not subject to emission limits without modifying this permit. Potential
annual emissions of NOx and CO from the temporary replacement engine must be
less than or equal to the potential annual emissions of NOx and CO from the original
grandfathered or permit exempt engine or for the engine that is not subject to
emission limits,as determined by applying appropriate emission factors.
2.1.3 Temporary replacement engines, whether of the same manufacturer, model, and
horsepower, or of a different manufacturer, model, or horsepower, are subject to all
federally applicable and state-only requirements set forth in this permit (including
monitoring and record keeping), and shall be subject to any shield afforded by this
permit.
2.1.4 The permittee shall maintain a log on-site to contemporaneously record the start and
stop date of any temporary engine replacement, the manufacturer, model number,
horsepower, and serial number of the engine(s) that are temporarily replaced during

2.2 Additional Sources
Current State Air Quality Regulations do not allow for advanced New Source Review in the
absence of discrete and verifiable information concerning future installations. Therefore, any
additional operational changes requiring new equipment at this facility not addressed by these
Alternative Operating Scenarios will need to undergo appropriate Regulation No. 3 review
procedures.
3. Prevention of Significant Deterioration
3.1 This source is located in an area designated attainment for all pollutants,but is located in the 8-hr
Ozone Control Area (as defined in the Federal Register, Volume 69, No. 84, dated April 30,
2004). Based on the information provided, it is not categorized as a major stationary source (no
single criteria pollutant emissions with a Potential to Emit of greater than 250 tpy) as of the issue
date of this permit. The source therefore is not subject to the PSD review requirements of 40
CFR 52.21 (Colorado Regulation No. 3, Part D, Section VI). Any future modification to this
facility which is major by itself will result in the application of the PSD review requirements.
Future modifications to this facility may result in an exceedance of the major stationary source
threshold. Once that threshold is exceeded, future modifications at this facility resulting in a
significant net emissions increase (see Regulation No. 3, Part D, Section II.A.27 and 44) for any
pollutant as listed in Regulation No. 3, Part D, Section II.A.44 or a modification which is major
by itself may result in the application of PSD review requirements.
3.2 There are no other Operating Permits associated with this facility for purposes of determining
applicability of Prevention of Significant Deterioration regulations.
4. Accidental Release Prevention Program(112(r))
4.1 Based on the information provided by the applicant, this facility is not subject to the provisions
of the Accidental Release Prevention Program(Section 112(r)of the Federal Clean Air Act).

a log to be maintained on-site. The average value for each of these parameters shall
be determined for any month during which a daily recorded parameter fails the
stipulated passing criteria compared to the values listed in the table below. Data from
the previous-most day for which data exists may be substituted for missing data in the
event the calculation of a monthly-average value is required.

Glycol Circulation Rate 5 gallons per minute At or Below
Benzene Content of Gas 220 parts per million At or Below
Toluene Content of Gas 310 parts per million At or Below
Ethyl Benzene Content of Gas 10 parts per million At or Below
Xylene Content of Gas 90 parts per million At or Below
2.1.2 Samples of inlet gas shall be collected and analyzed (extended gas analysis) to
determine C1 to C6, n-hexane, benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and total xylene
(BTEX) composition once per calendar quarter. Frequency of extended gas analyses
shall move to semi-annually(calendar semi-annual period) after the first year, then to
annually (calendar year) after the second year if BTEX concentrations remain
consistently below the established values as identified in the above table. Frequency
will revert back to quarterly (calendar quarter) if any of the BTEX constituents
exceed the listed values.
2.1.3 The inlet gas pressure and the flash tank temperature and pressure shall be monitored
and recorded weekly. The average value for inlet gas pressure and flash tank
temperature and pressure shall be calculated for each month and used in any required
GLYCaIc evaluation as required by Condition 2.1.4.
2.1.4 If the average glycol circulation rate, the average inlet gas temperature or the
concentration of a BTEX constituent does not meet the stipulated passing criteria, the
GRI GLYCalc (Version 4.0 or higher) model shall be run to determine monthly
emission rates. Inputs to the model will be the recorded average values for average
inlet temperature and glycol circulation rate, gas data from the most recent required
analysis (Condition 2.1.2), the average daily gas throughput rate (Condition 2.2) and
the following assumed values:

GLYCalc runs were triggered. The calculation of the 12-month total shall be
performed for any month a GLYCa1c run is triggered. If a GLYCalc run is required
for any mason for a given month, the pounds per hour of emissions predicted by the
model shall be multiplied by number of hours the unit ran for that month. The
monthly VOC and individual HAP emissions used in the rolling 12-month total for
months that do not trigger a GLYCalc run shall be the number of operating hours in
the month multiplied by an hourly VOC emission rate of 2.26 lbs/hr and individual
HAP emission rate of 0.68 lbs/hr (Worst Case Dehydrator Emissions - Submitted to
the Division on 1/14/02). If the 12-month rolling total of VOC and/or individual
HAP emissions exceeds the annual limitation, emissions for the previous months
must be calculated with GLYCalc using the parameters described in Condition 2.1.4
until the rolling 12-month total is less than the annual VOC and/or individual HAP
limitation or all twelve months have been recalculated.
2.2 The cubic feet of gas processed by this dehydration unit shall not exceed the limitation stated
above(Colorado Construction Permit 94WE760-1,as modified under the provisions of Section I,
Condition 1.3). The gas throughput to the dehydration unit shall be recorded monthly using
existing flow meters. A twelve month rolling total will be maintained to monitor compliance
with annual throughput limitations. An average daily gas throughput rate shall be determined by
dividing the monthly gas throughput by the number of operating days in the previous month.
This average daily gas throughput rate shall be used in any required GlyCalc runs.
2.3 The flare is subject to the following requirements:
2.3.1 The flare shall be operated at all times when emissions may be vented to them (40
CFR Part 63 Subpart A § 63.11(b)(3), as adopted by reference in Colorado
Regulation No. 8, Part E, Section I). The flare shall be operated at all times the
dehydration unit is operated.
2.3.2 The flare shall be operated with a flame present at all times when emissions may be
vented to them. The presence of a flare pilot flame shall be monitored continuously,
when emissions may be vented to them,using a thermocouple or any other equivalent
device to detect the presence of the flame (40 CFR Part 63 Subpart A § 63.11(6)(5),
as adopted by reference in Colorado Regulation No. 8, Part E, Section 1). The device
shall be equipped with an alarm to indicate no ignition of the pilot flame when
emissions may be vented to them. Records of the times and duration of all periods of
pilot flame outages shall be maintained and made available to the Division upon
request.
2.3.3 The flare is subject to the following visible emission requirements:
2.3.3.1 Flares shall be designed for and operated with no visible emissions,except
for periods not to exceed a total of 5 minutes during any 2 consecutive
hours(40 CFR Part 63 Subpart A § 63.11(b)(4),as adopted by reference in

Colorado Regulation No. 8, Part E, Section I). Compliance with the
visible emission requirements, shall be monitored by conducting a visible
emission observation monthly when the flare is operating. During the
monthly check, when visible emissions persist for longer than fifteen (15)
continuous minutes, the cause shall be determined and corrective actions
taken. A record of the existing condition and the action taken shall be
maintained and made available to the Division for review upon request.
2.3.3.2 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 (Colorado Regulation No. 1, Section II.A.5). In the
absence of credible evidence to the contrary, compliance with this opacity
requirement shall be presumed provided the requirements in Condition
2.3.3.1 are met.
2.3.4 The flare shall be used only with the net heating value of the gas being combusted at
300 Btu/scf or greater (40 CFR Part 63 Subpart A § 63.11(b)(6)(ii), as adopted by
reference in Colorado Regulation No. 8, Part E, Section I). Performance tests were
conducted on October 7 and 25, 2002 and these tests indicated that the gas burned by
the flare meets the net heating value requirement of 300 Btu/scf or greater. In the
absence of credible evidence to the contrary, compliance with the net heating value
requirement is presumed provided the requirements in Condition 2.3.6 are met.
2.3.5 The flare shall be designed and operated with an exit velocity less than the velocity
V. as determined by 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart A § 63.11(b)(8) (40 CFR Part 63
Subpart A § 63.11(b)(8), as adopted by reference in Colorado Regulation No. 8, Part
E, Section I). Performance tests were conducted on October 7 and 25,2002 and these
tests indicated that the above exit velocity requirement has been met. In the absence
of credible evidence to the contrary, compliance with the exit velocity requirement is
presumed provided the requirements in Condition 2.3.6 are met.
2.3.6 Owners or operators of flares shall monitor these control devices to assure that they
are operated and maintained in conformance with their designs (40 CFR Part 63
Subpart A § 63.11(b)(1), as adopted by reference in Colorado Regulation No. 8, Part
E, Section I).
2.4 Emissions from the dehydrator flash tank shall be routed through a closed vent system to either
the flare prior to being emitted or to the reboiler for use as fuel.
2.5 Supplemental fuel to the flare shall not be less than 0.153 MMBtu/hr (Colorado Construction
Permit 94WE760-1, as modified under the provisions of Section I, Condition 1.3 and Colorado

supplemental fuel flow to the flare shall be recorded monthly using a flow meter. The monthly
heat input shall be calculated based on the monthly fuel flow and the heat content of the gas as
determined by the latest analysis required by Condition 1.5. Compliance with the hourly
supplemental fuel shall be monitored by dividing the monthly heat input by the number of hours
the dehydrator operated during the month.
2.6 The Hours/Days of Operation shall be monitored monthly and recorded and maintained to be
made available to the Division upon request. The hours of operation shall be used to calculate
the monthly emissions in any month that a GLYCalc run is required as specified in Condition
2.1.5 and to calculate the hourly supplemental fuel to the flare (Condition 2.5). The days of
operation shall be used to calculate an average daily gas throughput as specified in Condition
2.2.
2.7 NOx and CO emissions shall not exceed the above limitations (Colorado Construction Permit
94WE760-1, as modified under the provisions of Section I, Condition 1.3 and Colorado
Regulation No. 3, Part C, Sections I.A.7 and III.8.7, based on the emissions indicated on the
APEN submitted on April 30, 2004). Monthly emissions of each pollutant shall be calculated
using the listed emission factors (from AP-42, September 1991, Section 13.5, Table 13.5-1) in
the following equation:
Tons/mo—(EF.lbs/MMBtu)x monthly heat input to flare(MMBtu/mo)
2000 lbs/ton
Heat input to flare—heat input from supplemental fuel+heat input from glycol still vent
Heat input from supplemental fuel as determined by Condition 2.5.
Heat input from glycol still vent is either.
If is GLYCaIc run triggered:

shall be reduced by 47.5%from uncontrolled actual emissions.
5.1.2 On or before April 30, 2006, and annually by April 30 of each year thereafter, each
owner or operator shall submit a report describing the emissions controls that were
implemented for the preceding calendar year and how it complied with the emission
reductions required by Condition 5.1.1 of this permit. Such reports shall be submitted
to the Division on a form provided by the Division for that purpose. At a minimum,
the report shall include a listing of all sites subject to this Condition 5.1 identifying
which operations are controlled by what types of devices; uncontrolled and controlled
emissions levels; which methods of estimating emissions were used; total reductions
achieved; whether or not the emissions reduction required by this Condition 5.1.1 has
been achieved, and, if not, why not; and other information the Division may deem
necessary to determine compliance with this Condition 5.1.1 (Colorado Regulation
No. 7, Section XII.A.2).
The reports shall be submitted in Exel electronic format.
5.1.3 Each owner or operator required to file a report pursuant to Condition 5.1.2 above
shall, at all times, maintain an updated spreadsheet of information required by such
report. Such updated spreadsheet shall be promptly provided by e-mail or fax to the
Division upon its request. The U.S. mail may also be used if acceptable by the
Division(Colorado Regulation No. 7, Section XII.A.3).
5.1.4 All control devices shall be adequately designed and sized to handle fluctuations in
emissions of volatile organic compounds. If a flare is used to control emissions of
volatile organic compounds, the flare shall be enclosed, smokeless, and designed so
that an observer can,by means of visual observation from the outside of the enclosed
flare, or by other convenient means approved by the Division, determine whether the
flare is operating properly(Colorado Regulation No. 7, Section XII.A.5).
Note that since the VOC emissions from the condensate tanks at this facility are not
equipped with an enclosed flare,the emission reductions from these tanks may not be
used for the VOC emissions reductions requirements specified in Condition 5.1.1.
5.1.5 Pollution prevention devices and processes installed or implemented after June I,
2004 shall qualify as air pollution control technology for purposes of this Condition
5.1 if the owner or operator demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Division that such
pollution prevention will result in a quantifiable reduction in emissions of volatile
organic compounds from the operation(Colorado Regulation No. 7, Section XII.A.7).

b. Emission Monitoring Requirements
The Division may require owners or operators of stationary air pollution sources to install, maintain, and use
instrumentation to monitor and record emission data as a basis for periodic reports to the Division.
c. Performance Testing
The owner or operator of any air pollution source shall, upon request of the Division, conduct performance test(s)
and furnish the Division a written report of the results of such test(s) in order to determine compliance with
applicable emission control regulations.
Performance test(s) shall be conducted and the data reduced in accordance with the applicable reference test
methods unless the Division:
(i) specifies or approves,in specific cases,the use of a test method with minor changes in methodology;
(ii) approves the use of an equivalent method;
(iii) approves the use of an alternative method the results of which the Division has determined to be adequate
for indicating where a specific source is in compliance;or
(iv) waives the requirement for performance test(s)because the owner or operator of a source has demonstrated
by other means to the Division's satisfaction that the affected facility is in compliance with the standard.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to abrogate the Commission's or Division's authority to require
testing under the Colorado Revised Statutes,Title 25,Article 7,and pursuant to regulations promulgated by
the Commission.
Compliance test(s)shall be conducted under such conditions as the Division shall specify to the plant operator based
on representative performance of the affected facility. The owner or operator shall make available to the Division
such records as may be necessary to determine the conditions of the performance test(s).Operations during period of
startup, shutdown, and malfunction shall not constitute representative conditions of performance test(s) unless
otherwise specified in the applicable standard.
The owner or operator of an affected facility shall provide the Division thirty days prior notice of the performance
test to afford the Division the opportunity to have an observer present.The Division may waive the thirty day notice
requirement provided that arrangements satisfactory to the Division are made for earlier testing.
The owner or operator of an affected facility shall provide,or cause to be provided,performance testing facilities as
follows:
(i) Sampling ports adequate for test methods applicable to such facility;
(v) Safe sampling platform(s);
(vi) Safe access to sampling platform(s);and
(vii) Utilities for sampling and testing equipment.
Each performance test shall consist of at least three separate runs using the applicable test method.Each run shall be
conducted for the time and under the conditions specified in the applicable standard.For the purpose of determining
compliance with an applicable standard,the arithmetic mean of results of at least three runs shall apply.In the event
that a sample is accidentally lost or conditions occur in which one of the runs must be discontinued because of
forced shutdown.failure of an irreplaceable portion of the sample train,extreme meteorological conditions,or other

circumstances beyond the owner or operator's control,compliance may,upon the Division's approval,be determined
using the arithmetic mean of the results of the two other runs.
Nothing in this section shall abrogate the Division's authority to conduct its own performance test(s)if so warranted.
d. Upset Conditions and Breakdowns
Upset conditions, as defined, shall not be deemed to be in violation of the Colorado regulations, provided that the
Division is notified as soon as possible, but no later than two (2) hours after the start of the next working day,
followed by a written notice to the Division explaining the cause of the occurrence and that proper action has been
or is being taken to correct the conditions causing the violation and to prevent such excess emission in the future.
e. Circumvention Clause
A person shall not build,erect,install,or use any article,machine,equipment,condition,or any contrivance,the use
of which,without resulting in a reduction in the total release of air pollutants to the atmosphere,reduces or conceals
an emission which would otherwise constitute a violation of this regulation. No person shall circumvent this
regulation by using more openings than is considered normal practice by the industry or activity in question.
f. Compliance Certifications
For the purpose of submitting compliance certifications or establishing whether or not a person has violated or is in
violation of any standard in the Colorado State Implementation Plan, nothing in the Colorado State Implementation
Plan shall preclude the use,including the exclusive use,of any credible evidence or information,relevant to whether
a source would have been in compliance with applicable requirements if the appropriate performance or compliance
test or procedure had been performed.Evidence that has the effect of making any relevant standard or permit term
more stringent shall not be credible for proving a violation of the standard or permit term.
When compliance or non-compliance is demonstrated by a test or procedure provided by permit or other applicable
requirement the owner or operator shall be presumed to be in compliance or non-compliance unless other relevant
credible evidence overcomes that presumption.
g. Affirmative Defense Provision for Excess Emissions During Startup and Shutdown
Note that until such time as the U.S. EPA approves this provision into the Colorado State Implementation Plan
(SIP),it shall apply only to State-Only permit terms and conditions and shall be enforceable only by the State.
An affirmative defense is provided to owners and operators for civil penalty actions for excess emissions during
periods of startup and shutdown. To establish the affirmative defense and to be relieved of a civil penalty in any
action to enforce an applicable requirement, the owner or operator of the facility must meet the notification
requirements below in a timely manner and prove by a preponderance of the evidence that:
(i) The periods of excess emissions that occurred during startup and shutdown were short and infrequent and
could not have been prevented through careful planning and design;
(ii) The excess emissions were not part of a recurring pattern indicative of inadequate design,operation or
maintenance;
(iii) If the excess emissions were caused by a bypass(an intentional diversion of control equipment),then the
bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life,personal injury,or severe property damage;
(iv) The frequency and duration of operation in startup and shutdown periods were minimized to the maximum
extent practicable;
(v) All possible steps were taken to minimize the impact of excess emissions on ambient air quality;

Last Revised: 3/27/06
Air Pollution Control Division Kerr-McGee Gathering LLC
Colorado Operating Permit Dougan Compressor Station
Permit#95OPWE033 Page 33
(vi) All emissions monitoring systems were kept in operation(if at all possible);
(vii) The owner or operator's actions during the period of excess emissions were documented by properly
signed,contemporaneous operating logs or other relevant evidence;and,
(viii) At all times,the facility was operated in a manner consistent with good practices for minimizing emissions.
This subparagraph is intended solely to be a factor in determining whether an affirmative defense is
available to an owner or operator,and shall not constitute an additional applicable requirement.
The owner or operator of the facility experiencing excess emissions during startup and shutdown shall notify the
Division verbally as soon as possible,but no later than two(2)hours after the start of the next working day,and shall
submit written quarterly notification following the initial occurrence of the excess emissions.The notification shall
address the criteria set forth above.
The Affirmative Defense Provision contained in this section shall not be available to claims for injunctive relief.
The Affirmative Defense Provision does not apply to State Implementation Plan provisions or other requirements
that derive from new source performance standards or national emissions standards for hazardous air pollutants, or
any other federally enforceable performance standard or emission limit with an averaging time greater than twenty-
four hours. In addition, an affirmative defense cannot be used by a single source or small group of sources where
the excess emissions have the potential to cause an exceedance of the ambient air quality standards or Prevention of
Significant Deterioration(PSD)increments.
In making any determination whether a source established an affirmative defense, the Division shalt consider the
information within the notification required above and any other information the Division deems necessary, which
may include,but is not limited to,physical inspection of the facility and review of documentation pertaining to the
maintenance and operation of process and air pollution control equipment.
4. Compliance Requirements

state act and Regulation No.3,shall be enforceable pursuant to state law,and shall not be enforceable by citizens
under§304 of the federal act. Any such violation of the federal act,the state act or regulations implementing either
statute is grounds for enforcement action,for permit termination,revocation and reissuance or modification or for
denial of a permit renewal application.
b. It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action or a consideration in favor of a permittee in a
permit termination,revocation or modification action or action denying a permit renewal application that it would
have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the conditions of
the permit.
c. The permit may be modified,revoked,reopened,and reissued,or terminated for cause. The filing of any request by
the permittee for a permit modification,revocation and reissuance,or termination,or any notification of planned

emissions attributable to the emergency. "Emergency"does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by improperly
designed equipment, lack of preventative maintenance, careless or improper operation, or operator error. An emergency
constitutes an affirmative defense to an enforcement action brought for noncompliance with a technology-based emission
limitation if the permittee demonstrates,through properly signed,contemporaneous operating logs,or other relevant evidence
that:
a. an emergency occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s)of the emergency;
b. the permitted facility was at the time being properly operated;
c. during the period of the emergency the permittee took all reasonable steps to minimize levels of emissions that
exceeded the emission standards,or other requirements in the permit;and
d. the permittee submitted oral notice of the emergency to the Air Pollution Control Division no later than noon of the
next working day following the emergency,and followed by written notice within one month of the time when
emissions limitations were exceeded due to the emergency. This notice must contain a description of the

Reporting Requirements and Definitions
with codes ver 2/1/01
Please note that,pursuant to 113(c)(2)of the federal Clean Air Act, any person who knowingly:
(A) makes any false material statement, representation, or certification in, or omits material information
from, or knowingly alters, conceals, or fails to file or maintain any notice, application, record, report,
plan, or other document required pursuant to the Act to be either filed or maintained (whether with
respect to the requirements imposed by the Administrator or by a State);
(B) fails to notify or report as required under the Act; or
(C) falsifies,tampers with,renders inaccurate, or fails to install any monitoring device or method required to
be maintained or followed under the Act shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine pursuant to title
18 of the United States Code, or by imprisonment for not more than 2 years, or both. If a conviction of
any person under this paragraph is for a violation committed after a first conviction of such person under
this paragraph, the maximum punishment shall be doubled with respect to both the fine and
imprisonment.
The permittee must comply with all conditions of this operating permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes
a violation of the Act and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit termination, revocation and reissuance,
or modification; or for denial of a permit renewal application.
The Part 70 Operating Permit program requires three types of reports to be filed for all permits.
All required reports must be certified by a responsible official.
Report#1: Monitoring Deviation Report(due at least every six months)
For purposes of this operating permit, the Division is requiring that the monitoring reports are due every six
months unless otherwise noted in the permit. All instances of deviations from permit monitoring requirements
must be clearly identified in such reports.
For purposes of this operating permit,monitoring means any condition determined by observation,by data from
any monitoring protocol, or by any other monitoring which is required by the permit as well as the
recordkeeping associated with that monitoring. This would include, for example, fuel use or process rate
monitoring,fuel analyses,and operational or control device parameter monitoring.
Report#2: Permit Deviation Report (must be reported "promptly")
In addition to the monitoring requirements set forth in the permits as discussed above, each and every
requirement of the permit is subject to deviation reporting. The reports must address deviations from permit

requirements, including those attributable to upset conditions and malfunctions as defined in this Appendix, the
probable cause of such deviations,and any corrective actions or preventive measures taken. All deviations from
any term or condition of the permit are required to be summarized or referenced in the annual compliance
certification.
For purposes of this operating permit, "upset" shall refer to both emergency conditions and upsets. Additional
discussion on these conditions is provided later in this Appendix.
For purposes of this operating permit, the Division is requiring that the permit deviation reports are due every
six months unless otherwise noted in the permit Where the underlying applicable requirement contains a
definition of prompt or otherwise specifies a time frame for reporting deviations, that definition or time frame
shall govern. For example, quarterly Excess Emission Reports required by an NSPS or Regulation No. 1,
Section IV.
In addition to the monitoring deviations discussed above, included in the meaning of deviation for the purposes
of this operating permit are any of the following:
(1) A situation where emissions exceed an emission limitation or standard contained in the permit;
(2) A situation where process or control device parameter values demonstrate that an emission limitation
or standard contained in the permit has not been met;
(3) A situation in which observations or data collected demonstrates noncompliance with an emission
limitation or standard or any work practice or operating condition required by the permit; or,
(4) A situation in which an excursion or exceedance as defined in 40 CFR Part 64 (the Compliance
Assurance Monitoring(CAM) Rule) has occurred. (only if the emission point is subject to CAM)
For reporting purposes, the Division has combined the Monitoring Deviation Report with the Permit Deviation
Report. All deviations shall be reported using the following codes:
1 =Standard: When the requirement is an emission limit or standard
2=Process: When the requirement is a production/process limit
3=Monitor: When the requirement is monitoring
4=Test: When the requirement is testing
5=Maintenance: When required maintenance is not performed
6=Record: When the requirement is recordkeeping
7=Report: When the requirement is reporting
8-CAM: A situation in which an excursion or exceedance as defined in 40 CFR Part 64 (the
Compliance Assurance Monitoring(CAM)Rule)has occurred.
9=Other: When the deviation is not covered by any of the above categories

Monitoring and Permit Deviation Report Page 3
Report#3: Compliance Certification(annually,as defined in the permit)
Submission of compliance certifications with terms and conditions in the permit, including emission limitations,
standards,or work practices, is required not less than annually.
Compliance Certifications are intended to state the compliance status of each requirement of the permit over the
certification period. They must be based,at a minimum, on the testing and monitoring methods specified in the
permit that were conducted during the relevant time period. In addition,if the owner or operator knows of other
material information(i.e. information beyond required monitoring that has been specifically assessed in relation
to how the information potentially affects compliance status), that information must be identified and addressed
in the compliance certification. The compliance certification must include the following:
• The identification of each term or condition of the permit that is the basis of the certification;
• The identification of the method(s)or other means used by the owner or operator for determining
the compliance status with each permit term and condition during the certification period and
whether such methods or other means provide continuous or intermittent data. Such methods
and other means shall include, at a minimum, the methods and means required in the permit. If
necessary, the owner or operator also shall identify any other material information that must be
included in the certification to comply with section 113(c)(2) of the Federal Clean Air Act,
which prohibits knowingly making a false certification or omitting material information;
• The status of compliance with the terms and conditions of the permit, and whether compliance
was continuous or intermittent. The certification shall identify each deviation and take it into
account in the compliance certification. Note that not all deviations are considered violations.'
• Such other facts as the Division may require, consistent with the applicable requirements to
which the source is subject,to determine the compliance status of the source.
The Certification shall also identify as possible exceptions to compliance any periods during which compliance
is required and in which an excursion or exceedance as defined under 40 CFR Part 64 (the Compliance
Assurance Monitoring(CAM)Rule)has occurred. (only for emission points subject to CAM)
Note the requirement that the certification shall identify each deviation and take it into account in the
compliance certification. Previously submitted deviation reports, including the deviation report submitted at the
time of the annual certification,may be referenced in the compliance certification.
For example, given the various emissions limitations and monitoring requirements to which a source may be
subject, a deviation from one requirement may not be a deviation under another requirement which recognizes
an exception and/or special circumstances relating to that same event. Further, periods of excess emissions
during startup, shutdown and malfunction may not be found to be a violation of an emission limitation or
standard where the source adequately shows that any potential deviations as a result of these infrequent periods
were minimized to the extent practicable and could not have been prevented through careful planning, design,
or were unavoidable to prevent loss of life,personal injury,or severe property damage.

Monitoring and Permit Deviation Report Page 4
Startup, Shutdown,Malfunctions,Emergencies,and Upsets
Understanding the application of Startup, Shutdown, Malfunctions, Emergency provisions, and the Upset
provisions is very important in both the deviation reports and the annual compliance certifications.
Startup,Shutdown,and Malfunctions
Please note that exceedances of some New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and Maximum Achievable
Control Technology (MACT) standards that occur during Startup, Shutdown or Malfunctions may not be
considered to be non-compliance since emission limits or standards often do not apply unless specifically stated
in the NSPS. Such exceedances must,however,be reported as excess emissions per the NSPS/MACT rules and
would still be noted in the deviation report. In regard to compliance certifications, the permittee should be
confident of the information related to those deviations when making compliance determinations since they are
subject to Division review. The concepts of Startup, Shutdown and Malfunctions also exist for Best Available
Control Technology(BACT)sources,but are not applied in the same fashion as for NSPS and MACT sources.
Emergencies and Upsets
Under the Emergency provisions of Part 70 and the Upset provisions of the State regulations, certain
operational conditions may act as an affirmative defense against enforcement action if they are properly
reported.
DEFINITIONS
Malfunction (NSPS)" means any sudden, infrequent, and not reasonably preventable failure of air pollution
control equipment, process equipment, or a process to operate in a normal or usual manner. Failures that are
caused in part by poor maintenance or careless operation are not malfunctions.
Malfunction (SIP) means any sudden and unavoidable failure of air pollution control equipment or process
equipment or unintended failure of a process to operate in a normal or usual manner. Failures that are primarily
caused by poor maintenance, careless operation, or any other preventable upset condition or preventable
equipment breakdown shall not be considered malfunctions.
Emergency means any situation arising from sudden and reasonably unforeseeable events beyond the control of
the source, including acts of God, which situation requires immediate corrective action to restore normal
operation, and that causes the source to exceed a technology-based emission limitation under the permit, due to
unavoidable increases in emissions attributable to the emergency. An emergency shall not include
noncompliance to the extent caused by improperly designed equipment, lack of preventative maintenance,
careless or improper operation,or operator error.
Upset means an unpredictable failure of air pollution control or process equipment which results in the violation
of emission control regulations and which is not due to poor maintenance, improper or careless operations, or is
otherwise preventable through exercise of reasonable care.

2 Note whether the method(s)used to determine the compliance status with each term and condition was the method(s)specified in the
permit. If it was not,mark"no"and attach additional information/explanation.
Note whether the compliance status with each term and condition provided was continuous or intermittent. "Intermittent
Compliance"can mean either that noncompliance has occurred or that the owner or operator has data sufficient to certify compliance
only on an intermittent basis. Certification of intermittent compliance therefore does not necessarily mean that any noncompliance
has occurred.
The Periodic Monitoring requirement of the Operating Permit program rule are intended to provide assurance that even in the absence
of a continuous system of monitoring the Title V source has operated in continuous compliance for the duration of the reporting
period. Therefore, if a source 1)conducts all of the monitoring and recordkeeping required in its permit,even if such a activities are
done periodically and not continuously,and if 2)such monitoring and recordkeeping does not indicate non-compliance, and if 3)the
Responsible Official is not aware of any credible evidence that indicates non-compliance, then the Responsible Official can certify
that the emission point(s)in question were in continuous compliance during the applicable time period.
° Note whether the method(s) used to determine the compliance status with each term and condition provided continuous or
intermittent data.
° Compliance status for these sources shall be based on a reasonable inquiry using readily available information.

e. Averaging Time N/A N/A
III. Justification
a. Background:
When natural gas is delivered to a compressor station, it is at a pressure between 80 and 140
psig. The associated water and condensate must be"flashed"down to near atmospheric pressure
in order to be separated and shipped. A flare is used to destroy the volatile organic compounds
(VOC)emitted during the flash.
b. Rational for Selection of Performance Indicators and Indicator Ranges:
As noted above, the destruction of VOC is dependant upon combustion. The flare is provided
with burner control panels that provide constant assurance of a lit flame and re-occurring spark.
The burner control panel provides a spark for two seconds every twenty seconds. The spark is
audible and the absence of the audible can be detected when operators are on-site (the facility is
unmanned). The flare is also equipped with a thermal device to ensure that a flame is present. If
the thermal device indicates there is no flame detected,the pilot flame may be re-lit by the spark.
If the flame is not re-lit within two to three cycles of the spark(40-60 seconds),the operator on
call is notified via a wireless alarm system.
The CAM rule specifies that presumptively acceptable monitoring includes monitoring required
for any standards that are exempt from CAM (i.e. MACT standards), provided the monitoring is
applicable to the control device (40 CFR Part 64 § 64.4(b)(4), as adopted by reference in
Colorado Regulation No. 3,Part C, Section XIV). Monitoring a flare for the presence of a flame
is monitoring consistent with the provisions in 40 CFR Part 63 Subparts HH and HHH, the Oil

and Natural Gas Production and Natural Gas Storage and Transmission MACTs (note that
subparts HH and HHH require the flare to meet the requirements in subpart A, § 63.11(b)). Both
MACTs require a glycol dehydrator to be equipped with a control device (a flare being one
option) to reduce HAP emissions. Since the monitoring is directly applicable, the Division
considers monitoring the flare for the presence of a flame to be presumptive CAM. Note that
monitoring the pilot light spark is not required under § 63.11(b) but is an additional measure
proposed by the source to prevent flame outages.
