Section 07 - Initial and Penodic Sampling and Testing Requirements
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 VOC 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 05-01.
Does the company use a site specific emissions factor to estimate emissions?
Ifyes 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
Section 08- Technical Analysis Notes
This paint was previously registered under GP01 however this modification is to permit the addition of a new storage tank consisting of 221 iquid manifold vessels. Thes new storage tank receives
ondensate from 11 newly drilled welts.'. Theexisting: storage tank consisting of 2 liquid manifold vessels receives condensatefrom the 2 existing wells at the facility. Per applicant request, these
respective sets of tanks are being grouped as a single emission point and permitted with combined limits
Sinceeach set of storage tanks has a distinguishable throughput, each set of storage tanks were evaluated separately for determination of NSPS 0000 or. 0OOOa appfcability: PDC indicated the
following potential throughputs for the respective storage tanks:
TK-01(1)'= 1522706 bbl s 1.2= 1,827,247 bbl'.
TK 01(2}-=840 bbl x1.2.=1,008 bbl
Multiplying each by the controlled VOC emissmn factor::
TK O1(1)= 73.6 tpy VOC.
TK-01(4}= 0.04 toy VOC
Dividing by the respective number of liquid manifold vessels in eachstorage tank:.
TK-01(1) = 3.4 toy Per -vane,
TK 01{21.=0.02 tpy per vessel
As such,the enforceable. PTE (since controls aye required per Regulation 7 Section (NM of each set of stoage tanks is below the 6 tpy threshold contained in NSPS 0000 and NSPS 0000a as referenced
in the regulatory analysis sheet.
Upon review of the draft permit, applicant requested that requirement to submit notice of startup (NO51 be removed since NOS was submitted with anginal application. Souce provided a: copy with date
stamp of the NOS indicating that the operetta. assigned to 17WE0970began on June 03, 2017. NOS was received electronically on 12/28/2017. Therefore, I removed the requirement to submit NOS.

Condensate Storage Tank(s) APEN
Form APCD-205 V1
Air Pollutant Emission Notice (APEN) and
Application for Construction Permit
All 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
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 tanks that store condensate associated with oil and gas industry operations. If your emission
source does not fall into this category, there may be a more specific APEN available for your source (e.g. crude oil
storage tanks, produced water storage tanks, hydrocarbon liquid loadings, 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 and associated addendum forms can be found on the Air Pollution Control Division (APCD) website at:
www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdphe/air-permits.
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.
