Does the company use the state default emissions factors to estimate emissions?
If yes, are the uncontrolled actual or requested emissions estimated to be greater than or equal to 80 tons V0C per year? -�
If yes, the permit will contain an "Initial Compliance" testing requirement to develop a site specific emissions factor based on guidelines in PS Memo 05-0
Does the company use a site specific emissions factor to estimate emissions?
If yes and if there are flash emissions, are the emissions factors based on a pressurized liquid sample drawn at the
facility being permitted? This sample should be considered representative which generally means site -specific and
collected within one year of the application received date. However, if the facility has not been modified (e.g., no
new wells brought on-line), then it may be appropriate to use an older site -specific sample.
If no, the permit will contain an "Initial Compliance" testing requirement to develop a site specific emissions factor based on guidelines in PS Memo 05-01.
Does the company request a control device efficiency greater than 95%for a flare or combustion device? ..
If yes, the permit will contain and initial compliance test condition to demonstrate the destruction efficiency of the combustion device based on inlet and outlet concentration sampling
