Air Pollution Control Division Colorado Operating Permit 95OPWE281 CIG is requesting that the following changes be made to the operating permit: Page 3, Table 6.1, Emission Unit Number, Box 3, "CP CG-7501 7301". Page 4, Table 1, Title, "CP-1 CG-7101, CP-2 CG-7201 & CR 5 CG-7301, Combustion Turbines S/Ns: 0251B, 0250B & 0286B." In addition please change the references to CP- 1, CP-2, & CP-5 to CG-7101, CG-7201, & CG-7301 respectively, throughout the permit. On this same table the NOx permit limits are flipped. CG-7101 & CG-7201 should be 24.5 ppm and CG-7301 should be 15 ppm. Page 17, Table 3, NOx, Permit Condition Number 3.4, Limitation Box 4, "7-70-tpy 7.4 tpy". The N0x emission limit listed for the flare in construction permit 03WE0916 is 7.4 tpy. Page 21, 3.7 Please add a note that the supplemental fuel requirement is met with the amine flash gas. The additional heat input needed was calculated from GRI GlyCalc for the dehydration section of the plant only. GLYCaIc does not take into consideration the other streams that are routed to the same flare. Both systems run at the same time and there would not be any operational instances where the dehydrator would run by itself, thus flash gas will always be available to supplement the heat input to the flare.
