Application for Construction Permit
All sections of this APEN and application must be completed for both new and existing facilities, incl ing APEN
updates. Incomplete APENs will be rejected and will require re -submittal. Your APEN will be rej
filled out incorrectly, is missing information, or lacks payment for the filing fee. The re -submit wi I
payment for a new filing fee.
This APEN is to be used for gas venting only. Gas venting includes emissions from gas/liquid separators, well hea
casing, pneumatic pumps, blowdown events, among other events. If your emission unit does not fall into this
category, there may be a more specific APEN for your source (e.g. amine sweetening unit, hydrocarbon liquid
loading, condensate storage tanks, etc.). In addition, the General APEN (Form APCD-200) is available if the
specialty APEN options will not satisfy your reporting needs. A list of all available APEN forms can be found on the
Air Pollution Control Division (APCD) website at: www.colorado.gov/cdphe/apcd.
This emission notice is valid for five (5) years. Submission of a revised APEN is required 30 days prior to expiration
of the five-year term, or when a reportable change is made (significant emissions increase, increase production,
new equipment, change in fuel type, etc.). See Regulation No. 3, Part A, II.C. for revised APEN requirements.
