(tons _ Factor \MMBtu) X Heating Value (MMscf ) X Consumption (Month )
Emissions month) lb
2000 (ton)
A twelve month rolling total of emissions will be maintained in order to monitor compliance
with the annual emission limitation. Each month, a new twelve month total shall be calculated
using the previous twelve months data.
If the results of the portable analyzer testing conducted under the provisions of Condition 1.4
show that either the NOx or CO emission rates/factors are greater than those listed above, and in
the absence of subsequent testing results to the contrary (as approved by the Division), the
permittee shall apply for a modification to this permit to reflect, at a minimum, the higher
emission rates/factors within 60 days of completion of the test.
1.1.1.1 Portable monitoring shall be conducted quarterly as required by Condition 1.4.
1.2 Natural gas consumption shall not exceed the limitations stated above (Construction Permit 12WE380).
Natural gas consumption shall be measured and recorded on the first day of each month. A twelve-
month rolling total shall be maintained for demonstration of compliance with annual limitations. Each
month a new twelve month total shall be calculated using the previous twelve months data. -
1.3 The following requirements apply to this engine:
1.3.1 Except as provided for in Condition 1.3.2 below, no owner or operator of a source shall allow or
cause the emission into the atmosphere of any air pollutant which is in excess of 20% opacity
(Colorado Regulation No. 1, Section II.A.1).
1.3.2 No owner or operator of a source shall allow or cause to be emitted into the atmosphere any air
pollutant resulting from the building of a new fire, cleaning of fire boxes, soot blowing, start- up,
process modifications, or adjustment or occasional cleaning of control equipment which is in
excess of 30% opacity for a period or periods aggregating more than six (6) minutes in any sixty
(60) consecutive minutes (Colorado Regulation No. 1, Section II.A.4).
In absence of credible evidence to the contrary, compliance with the opacity limit shall be presumed
since only natural gas is permitted to be used as fuel for this engine. The permittee shall maintain
records that verify that only natural gas is used as fuel.
1.4 Portable Monitoring (ver 6/26/2014): Emission measurements of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon
monoxide (CO) shall be conducted quarterly using a portable flue gas analyzer. At least one calendar
month shall separate the quarterly tests. Note that if the engine is operated for less than 100 hrs in any
quarterly period, then the portable monitoring requirements do not apply.

The source may conduct the emission measurement testing using EPA Reference Test Methods
(identified as Reference Method 1, Reference Method 2, Reference Method 3, Reference Method 4,
Reference Method 7E and Reference Method 10 (40 C.F.R. Part 60 Appendix A), hereinafter "EPA
Reference Test Methods") in lieu of portable monitoring, at the source's discretion. If the source
chooses to conduct EPA Reference Test Methods, the compliance testing protocol requirements from the
Division's Compliance Test Manual as found on the Division's website
(https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdphe/inspections-and-enforcement) shall apply. If the source
chooses to conduct EPA Reference Test Methods instead of using a portable flue gas analyzer, the
testing may be conducted semi-annually rather than quarterly.
All portable analyzer testing required by this permit shall be conducted using the Division's Portable
Analyzer Monitoring Protocol (ver March 2006 or newer) as found on the Division's website at:
https://www.colorado. gov/pacific/cdphe/portable-analyzer-monitoring-protocol.
Results of the portable analyzer tests shall be used to monitor the compliance status of this unit. For
comparison with an annual or short term emission limit, the results of the tests shall be converted to a
lb/hr basis and multiplied by the allowable operating hours in the month or year (whichever applies) in
order to monitor compliance. If a source is not limited in its hours of operation the test results will be
multiplied by the maximum number of hours in the month or year (8760), whichever applies.
If the portable analyzer results indicate compliance with both the NOx and CO emission limitations, in
the absence of credible evidence to the contrary, the source may certify that the engine is in compliance
with both the NOx and CO emission limitations for the relevant time period.
Subject to the provisions of C.R.S. 25-7-123.1 and in the absence of credible evidence to the contrary, if
the portable analyzer results fail to demonstrate compliance with either the NOx or CO emission
limitations, the engine will be considered to be out of compliance from the date of the portable analyzer
test until a portable analyzer test indicates compliance with both the NOx and CO emission limitations
or until the engine is taken offline.
For comparison with the emission rates/factors, the emission rates/factors determined by the portable
analyzer tests and approved by the Division shall be converted to the same units as the emission
rates/factors in the permit. If the portable analyzer tests shows that either the NOx or CO emission
rates/factors are greater than the relevant ones set forth in the permit, and in the absence of subsequent
testing results to the contrary (as approved by the Division), the permittee shall apply for a modification
to this permit to reflect, at a minimum, the higher emission rate/factor within 60 days of the completion
of the test.
Results of all tests conducted shall be kept on site and made available to the Division upon request.
1.5 Exhaust gas oxygen concentration shall be measured and recorded during each period of portable
monitoring to assess engine operating condition. Lean burn engines with an exhaust oxygen
concentration of less than 4% by volume shall be assessed for possible malfunction based on
manufacturer's maintenance procedures.

1.6 The Btu content of the natural gas used to fuel these engines shall be verified semi-annually in
accordance with the appropriate ASTM methods or equivalent, if approved in advance by the Division.
The Btu content of the natural gas shall be based on the higher heating value of the fuel. Calculation of
the monthly emissions outlined in Condition 1.1 shall be made using the heat content derived from the
most recent required analysis.
1.7 Hours of operation for each engine shall be monitored and recorded monthly. Monthly hours of
operation shall be used in a running total for each annual compliance period and made available for the
Division review upon request. The hours of operation shall be used to determine if portable monitoring
is required as specified in Condition 1.4.

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;
(ii) Safe sampling platform(s);
(iii) Safe access to sampling platform(s); and
(iv) 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.

(i)
The excess emissions were caused by a sudden, unavoidable breakdown of equipment, or a sudden,
unavoidable failure of a process to operate in the normal or usual manner, beyond the reasonable control of
the owner or operator;
(ii) The excess emissions did not stem from any activity or event that could have reasonably been foreseen and
avoided, or planned for, and could not have been avoided by better operation and maintenance practices;
(iii) Repairs were made as expeditiously as possible when the applicable emission limitations were being
exceeded;
(iv) The amount and duration of the excess emissions (including any bypass) were minimized to the maximum
extent practicable during periods of such emissions;

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
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;
(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 shall 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.

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.
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
changes or anticipated noncompliance does not stay any permit condition, except as provided in §§ X. and XI. of
Regulation No. 3, Part C.
d. The permittee shall furnish to the Air Pollution Control Division, within a reasonable time as specified by the

APPENDIX B
Reporting Requirements and Definitions
with codes ver 8/20/14
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 malfunctions as defined in this Appendix, the
probable cause of such deviations, and any corrective actions or preventive measures taken. All

Colorado. Operating Permit
Reporting Requirements
Appendix B
Page 37
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, "malfunction" shall refer to both emergency conditions and
malfunctions. 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
as set forth in General Condition 21. 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 40CFR 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:
2 = Process:
3 = Monitor:
4 = Test:
5 = Maintenance:
6 = Record:
7 = Report:
8 = CAM:
9 = Other:
When the requirement is an emission limit or standard
When the requirement is a production/process limit
When the requirement is monitoring
When the requirement is testing
When required maintenance is not performed
When the requirement is recordkeeping
When the requirement is reporting
A situation in which an excursion or exceedance as defined in 40CFR Part 64 (the
Compliance Assurance Monitoring (CAM) Rule) has occurred.
When the deviation is not covered by any of the above categories
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.

Reporting Requirements
Appendix B
Page 38
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;
• Whether or not the method(s) used by the owner or operator for determining the compliance status
with each permit term and condition during the certification period was the method(s) specified in
the permit. 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.

Startup, Shutdown, Malfunctions and Emergencies,
Understanding the application of Startup, Shutdown, Malfunctions and Emergency 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.
Emergency Provisions
Under the Emergency provisions of Part 70 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.

3 Note whether the compliance status with of 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.
NOTE:
The Periodic Monitoring requirements 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 can demonstrate whether it 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 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.

This document establishes the basis for decisions made regarding the applicable
requirements, emission factors, monitoring plan and compliance status of emission
units covered by the renewed Operating Permit for the Cheyenne Station. The
previous Operating Permit for this facility was issued on November 1, 1997, was
renewed on January 1, 2014 and was last revised March 2013 and expires on January
1, 2019. However, since a timely and complete renewal application was submitted,
under Colorado Regulation No. 3, Part C, Section IV.C all of the terms and conditions
of the existing permit shall not expire until the renewal operating permit is issued and
any previously extended permit shield continues in full force and operation.
This document is designed for reference during the review of the proposed permit by
the EPA, the public, and other interested parties. The conclusions made in this report
are based on information provided in the renewal application submitted on December
22, 2017, comments on the draft permit submitted on [date], previous inspection
reports and various email correspondence, as well as telephone conversations with
the applicant. Please note that copies of the Technical Review Document for the
original permit and any Technical Review Documents associated with subsequent
modifications of the original Operating Permit may be found in the Division files as well
as on the Division website at www.colorado.gov/cdphe/airTitleV. This narrative is
intended only as an adjunct for the reviewer and has no legal standing.
Any revisions made to the underlying construction permits associated with this facility
made in conjunction with the processing of this operating permit application have been
reviewed in accordance with the requirements of Regulation No. 3, Part B,
Construction Permits, and have been found to meet all applicable substantive and
procedural requirements. This operating permit incorporates and shall be considered
to be a combined construction/operating permit for any such revision, and the
permittee shall be allowed to operate under the revised conditions upon issuance of
this operating permit without applying for a revision to this permit or for an additional or
revised construction permit.
II. Description of Source
123/0078 Page 1 of 7
Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc. — Cheyenne Station
Operating Permit No. 95OPWE003
Technical Review Document — Renewal Operating Permit
This source is classified as a natural gas compression facility. Gas is compressed to
specification for transmission to downstream pipelines using an internal combustion
engine to power a reciprocating compressor with four compressor cylinders. An
emergency shutdown device is used for periodic and emergency blowdown of process
lines and equipment. A small boiler, used for facility heating, and an emergency power
generator also exist on site.
The facility is located approximately 30 miles north of the town of Ft. Collins, Colorado.
The area in which the plant operates is designated as attainment for all criteria
pollutants.
The state of Wyoming is within a 50 mile radius of this facility. Rocky Mountain
National Park and the Rawah Wilderness Area are Federal Class I designated areas
within 100 kilometers of the plant.
Based on the information provided by the applicant, this source is categorized as a
minor stationary source for PSD as of the issue date of this permit. Any future
modification which is major by itself (Potential to Emit of > 250 TPY) for any pollutant
listed in Regulation No. 3, Part D, Section II.A.42 for which the area is in attainment or
attainment/maintenance may result in the application of the PSD review requirements.
There are no other Operating Permits associated with this facility for purposes of
determining applicability of Prevention of Significant Deterioration regulations.

Accidental Release Program — 112(r)
Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act mandates a new federal focus on the prevention of
chemical accidents. Sources subject to these provisions must develop and implement
risk management programs that include hazard assessment, a prevention program,
and an emergency response program. They must prepare and implement a Risk
Management Plan (RMP) as specified in the Rule
123/0078 Page 2 of 7
Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc. — Cheyenne Station
Operating Permit No. 95OPWE003
Technical Review Document — Renewal Operating Permit
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).
Compliance Assurance Monitoring (CAM)
The following emission points at this facility use a control device to achieve
compliance with an emission limitation or standard to which they are subject and have
pre -control emissions that exceed or are equivalent to the major source threshold.
They are therefore subject to the provisions of the CAM program as set forth in 40
CFR Part 64 as adopted by reference into Colorado Regulation No. 3, Part C, Section
XIV:
None. All emission units at Cheyenne Station are uncontrolled and therefore not
subject to CAM.
Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs)
Emissions of any individual HAP does not exceed 10 tpy and total HAP emissions do
not exceed 25 tpy; this facility is a minor source of HAP with respect to Title V
Operating Permit thresholds. The facility is subject to area source HAP requirements
of 40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ.
Colorado Regulation No. 7, Section XVII Requirements for Condensate Tanks
Section XVII.C requires owner/operators of atmospheric condensate storage tanks at

natural gas drip stations and natural gas processing plants to install air pollution
control equipment capable of reducing emissions by at least 95% on tanks with actual
uncontrolled emissions of 20 tons per year (tpy) VOC or greater by May 1, 2008.
Cheyenne Station is downstream of natural gas processing plants and does not meet
the definition of a natural gas compressor station and the atmospheric condensate
storage tank located at Cheyenne, listed as an insignificant activity, has actual
uncontrolled emissions less than 6 tons per year and the facility is, therefore, not
subject to Regulation No. 7, Section XVII.C.

SUBJECT: Title V Permit Renewal
Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc. - Cheyenne Station
Permit No. 95OPWE003; Facility ID 1230078
To Whom It May Concern:
Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline; Inc. (Southern Star) is submitting this application to renew the -Title -V
Operating Permit for its Cheyenne Station. This application is being submitted pursuant to Regulation No. 3,
Part C, Section III.B.6 and Section IV, Condition 19.b of the permit. This submittal fulfills all the specified
'requirements and therefore constitutes a complete application to renew the Title V Operating Permit.
There have not been any changes in air emission equipment at this facility since issuance of the current permit.
As such, there should be no need to submit updated Air Pollutant Emission Notices (APEN's) or an updated list
of insignificant activities (Forms 2000-102B or 2000-700). Southern Star has reviewed the recent changes to
Regulation No. 3 regarding reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) and we have determined the
emergency generator at this station continues to qualify for an APEN exemption pursuant to Regulation No. 3,
Part A, Section II.D.1.a. This unit also appears to continue to qualify as an insignificant activity under the Title
V permitting program
Colorado promulgated changes to Regulation 7 during the permit term (February 23, 2014). None of the new
requirements in Regulation 7 apply to the Cheyenne Station. This facility does not meet the definition of a
"natural gas compressor station" found in Section XVII.A since it is downstream of a natural gas processing
plant. The leak detection and repair (LDAR) requirements found in Section XVILF only apply to facilities
meeting the Section XVII.A definition of a "natural gas compressor station" and therefore do not apply to this
facility. Also, the requirements found in Section XVIII only apply to pneumatic controllers found at, or
upstream of, natural gas processing plants. Since this facility is downstream of a natural gas processing plant,
no requirements from Section XVIII apply. With this permit renewal, Southern Star requests that these
requirements be shown as not applicable within the permit to avoid any potential confusion during compliance
inspections or similar activities.
40 CFR 60, Subpart 0000a — Standards of Performance for Crude Oil and Natural Gas Facilities has been
promulgated by US EPA since issuance of the current permit. This regulation contains provisions that would
apply to the Cheyenne Station if certain equipment is constructed, modified, or reconstructed. However, there
are currently no affected sources at the station and the regulation therefore does not currently apply to the
station or any of its equipment.
Attachment 1 provides a completed Operating permit application form 2000-100. Attachment 2 provides a
completed form 2000-800. Other than the inclusion of OOOOa, Southern Star is not requesting any other
revisions to the operating permit as part of this renewal application.
The Title V Operating Permit for this facility expires on January 1, 2019. Pursuant to Section IV, Condition
19.b, this application to renew the permit must be submitted at least twelve months prior to expiration of the
permit. Since this application is being submitted prior to January 1, 2018, it is timely and the facility can
continue to operate under the current Title V permit until a permit renewal is issued.
Southern Star believes that this station is currently in compliance with all applicable requirements and this is the
basis for the compliance certification by our Responsible Official on Form 2000-800. If you have any questions
or need any additional information, please contact me at (918) 633-2788.
Sincerely,
David J. Mason
