Notice of a Proposed Project or Activity Warranting Public
Comment
Website Title: Noble Energy, Inc. - Scooter - Weld County
Notice Period Begins: August 10, 2017
Notice is hereby given that an application for a proposed project or activity has been submitted to the
Colorado Air Pollution Control Division for the following source of air pollution:
Applicant: Noble Energy, Inc.
Facility: Scooter
Oil and gas exploration and production facility
NWNW Sec 18 T3N R64W
Weld County
The proposed project or activity is as follows: Source is proposing to operate a new unit at an existing oil
and gas exploration and production facility.
The Division has determined that this permitting action is subject to public comment per Colorado
Regulation No. 3, Part B, Section III.C due to the following reason(s):
• the source is requesting a federally enforceable limit on the potential to emit in order to avoid other
requirements
The Division has made a preliminary determination of approval of the application.
A copy of the application, the Division's analysis, and a draft of Construction Permit 17WE0366 have been
filed with the Weld County Clerk's office. A copy of the draft permit and the Division's analysis are
available on the Division's website at https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdphe/air-permit-public-notices

Section 07 - Initial and Periodic Sampling and Testing Requirements
Does the company use site specific emission factors based on a gas sample to estimate emissions?
If yes, are the emissions factors based on an gas sample drawn at the facility and from the equipment 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 collect a site -specific sample 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.
Does the company use site specific emission factors based on a pressurized liquid sample and process simulation to estimate aGsz
emissions?
If yes, are the emissions factors based on an pressurized liquid sample drawn at the facility and from equipment located upstream of the permitted
equipment? 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 collect a site -specific liquid sample and conduct an emission factor analysis to demonstrate that
factors are less than or equal to the emissions factors established with this application.
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

for a period or periods aggregating more than six minutes in any sixty consecutive
minutes. (Regulation Number 1, Section II.A.5.)
12. This source is subject to the odor requirements of Regulation Number 2. (State only enforceable)
OPERATING Et MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
13. Upon startup of these points, the owner or operator shall follow the most recent operating and
maintenance (OEtM) plan and record keeping format approved by the Division, in order to
demonstrate compliance on an ongoing basis with the requirements of this permit. Revisions to
the OEtM plan are subject to Division approval prior to implementation. (Regulation Number 3,
Part B, Section III.G.7.)
COMPLIANCE TESTING AND SAMPLING
Initial Testing Requirements

or
• Whenever new control equipment is installed, or whenever a different type of control
equipment replaces an existing type of control equipment; or
• Whenever a permit limitation must be modified; or
• No later than 30 days before the existing APEN expires.
16. Federal regulatory program requirements (i.e. PSD, NANSR) shall apply to this source at any such
time that this source becomes major solely by virtue of a relaxation in any permit condition. Any
relaxation that increases the potential to emit above the applicable Federal program threshold
will require a full review of the source as though construction had not yet commenced on the
source. The source shall not exceed the Federal program threshold until a permit is granted.
(Regulation Number 3, Parts C and D).
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
17. This permit and any attachments must be retained and made available for inspection upon
request. The permit may be reissued to a new owner by the APCD as provided in AQCC Regulation
Number 3, Part B, Section II.B. upon a request for transfer of ownership and the submittal of a
revised APEN and the required fee.
18. If this permit specifically states that final authorization has been granted, then the remainder
of this condition is not applicable. Otherwise, the issuance of this construction permit does not
provide "final" authority for this activity or operation of this source. Final authorization of the
permit must be secured from the APCD in writing in accordance with the provisions of 25-7-
114.5(12)(a) C.R.S. and AQCC Regulation Number 3, Part B, Section III.G. Final authorization
cannot be granted until the operation or activity commences and has been verified by the APCD
as conforming in all respects with the conditions of the permit. Once self -certification of all
points has been reviewed and approved by the Division, it will provide written documentation of
such final authorization. Details for obtaining final authorization to operate are located in the
Requirements to Self -Certify for Final Authorization section of this permit.
