Application for Construction Permit
Alt sections of this APEN and application must be completed for both new and existing facilities, including APEN
updates. An application with missing information may be determined incomplete and may be returned or result In L;'N
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 Natural Gas Venting only. Natural 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. 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.
