This is an existing facility, however, noble indicates that it plans to remove engines and associated compressors that are used to recycle gas from these equipment. As a result, gas routed to the combustor is increased and is now above reporting and permitting thresholds. The vapor recovery tower was previously reported as part of the tank vapor control system but Noble is requesting to assign a separate emissions point with this issuance, specifically for the VRT The Division agrees with the requested point allocation and a vapor recovery tower should not be aggregated with a storage tank point.

Applicant used HYSYS to simulate the low-pressure gas in equilibrium with the sampled liquid and recombined (re -saturated) the low pressure liquid with the low pressure gas at the operating conditions of the high pressure separator to generate a representative composition of the high pressure liquid that is discharged into the low pressure separator. The model subsequently models flash gas from LP separators and VRT. The following represents the modeled composition of the LP gas stream.

This sample should represent the gas outlet of the equipment covered under this AIRs ID, and should have been 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 Testing Requirement" to collect a site -specific gas sample from the equipment being permitted and conduct an emission factor analysis to demonstrate that the emission factors are less than or equal to the emissions factors established with this application. Are facility -wide permitted emissions of VOC greater than or equal to 90 tons per year? If yes, the permit will contain: -An "Initial Testing Requirement" to collect a site -specific gas sample from the equipment being permitted and conduct an emission factor analysis to demonstrate that the emission factors are less than or equal to the emissions factors established with this application. -A "Periodic Testing Requirement" to collect a site -specific gas sample from the equipment being permitted and conduct an emission factor analysis to demonstrate that the emission factors are less than or equal to the emissions factors established with this application on an annual basis. Will the operator have a meter installed and operational upon startup of this point? Yes If no, the permit will contain a condition that requires the operator to calculate gas throughput using the liquid throughput until the meter is installed and operational (not to exceed 180 days). This condition will use the "Volume of waste gas emitted per BBL of liquids throughput" (scf/bbl) value in section 03. 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 3 of 9 K:\PA\2019\19WE0377.CP1.xlsm Separator Venting Emissions Inventory Section 08 - Technical Analysis Notes *The low pressure separators permitted with this point are the low pressure portion of an HLP separator (i.e. a single vessel consisting of a high pressure segment and low pressure segment with respective liquid -gas separation). As a result, the operator is unable to obtain a pressurized liquid sample directly from the high pressure portion of the separator and used HYSYS to "back -blend" the known liquid composition to obtain an estimated upstream composition prior to discharge to the low pressure segment. Since (i) there is no reason to contest the assumptions used in the simulation, (ii) the resulting compositions of LP (79% VOC) and VRT (93% VOC) are typical, (iii) the gas volume will be metered for actual compliance demonstration, and (iv) the requested facility -wide controlled emission rates are not approaching major source thresholds, I will approve the emission factors for use with the Initial Approval permit and will require an initial extended gas analysis of this stream be submitted with self -certification to verify the emission factors. *Applicant provided comments on the draft permit indicating that they request that the emission factors reflected in their calculations be included in the "notes to permit holder" instead of the values calculated by the Division (i.e. in the analysis above). I agree to include the emission factors as caclulated by applicant and displayed next to those calculated by the Division in the analysis above on the basis that the differences are minor and attributable to rounding. Also, the assigned limits in the permit do not change when using the proposed emission factors x process limit from what I've calculated above.

Each and every condition of this permit is a material part hereof and is not severable. Any challenge to or appeal of a condition hereof must constitute a rejection of the entire permit and upon such occurrence, this permit must be deemed denied ab initio. This permit may be revoked at any time prior to self -certification and final authorization by the Air Pollution Control Division (APCD) on grounds set forth in the Colorado Air Quality Control Act and regulations of the Air Quality Control Commission (AQCC), including failure to meet any express term or condition of the permit. If the Division denies a permit, conditions imposed upon a permit are contested by the owner or operator, or the Division revokes a permit, the owner or operator of a source may request a hearing before the AQCC for review of the Division's action. 25. Section 25-7-114.7(2)(a), C.R.S. requires that all sources required to file an Air Pollution Emission Notice (APEN) must pay an annual fee to cover the costs of inspections and administration.

An application with missing information may be determined incomplete and may be returned or result in longer application processing times. You may be charged an additional APEN fee if the APEN is filled out incorrectly or is missing information and requires re -submittal. This APEN is to be used for gas venting only. Gas venting includes emissions from gas/liquid separators, well head 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.).

An application with missing information may be determined incomplete and may be returned or result in longer application processing times. You may be charged an additional APEN fee if the APEN is filled out incorrectly or is missing information and requires re -submittal. This APEN is to be used for gas venting only. Gas venting includes emissions from gas/liquid separators, well head 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.Qov/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.).
