Notice of a Proposed Project or Activity Warranting Public
Comment
Website Title: PDC Energy, Inc. - RftR Farms West Pad - Weld County
Notice Period Begins: August 18, 2016
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: PDC Energy, Inc.
Facility: REtR Farms West Pad
Exploration and production well pad
NENE Sec. 15 T6N R66W
Weld County
AUG 1 8 2016
The proposed project or activity is as follows: New exploration and production facility for the production of
condensate. Natural gas from the wellhead separators is compressed and routed into a sales pipeline.
Condensate is routed to twelve 538 -bbl condensate storage tanks. Tank vapors are controlled by enclosed
combustors. Produced water is sent to produced water storage tanks. Tank truck loading is conducted by
submerged fill; emissions from loadout are not controlled.
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):
• permitted emissions exceed public notice threshold values in Regulation No. 3, Part B, Section
IIl.C.1.a (25 tpy in a non -attainment area and/or 50 tpy in an attainment area)
• 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 16WE0743 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
The Division hereby solicits submission of public comment from any interested person concerning the ability
of the proposed project or activity to comply with the applicable standards and regulations of the
Commission. The Division will receive and consider written public comments for thirty calendar days after
the date of this Notice. Any such comment must be submitted in writing to the following addressee:

• Annually by April 30th whenever a significant increase in emissions occurs as follows:
For any criteria pollutant:
For sources emitting less than 100 tons per year, a change in actual emissions of five
(5) tons per year or more, above the level reported on the last APEN; or
For volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen oxides sources (N0,) in ozone
nonattainment areas emitting less than 100 tons of VOC or NO„ per year, a change in
annual actual emissions of one (1) ton per year or more or five percent, whichever is
greater, above the level reported on the last APEN; or
For sources emitting 100 tons per year or more, a change in actual emissions of five
percent or 50 tons per year or more, whichever is less, above the level reported on the

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.
19. Federal regulatory program requirements (i.e. ND, 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
20. 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
COLORADO
Air Pollution Control Division
Page 4 of 7
II.B. upon a request for transfer of ownership and the
uired fee.
21. a perms specs ically s ales thatTinal 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.
22. This permit is issued in reliance upon the accuracy and completeness of information supplied
by the owner or operator and is conditioned upon conduct of the activity, or construction,
installation and operation of the source, in accordance with this information and with
representations made by the owner or operator or owner or operator's agents. It is valid only
for the equipment and operations or activity specifically identified on the permit.
23. Unless specifically stated otherwise, the general and specific conditions contained in this
permit have been determined by the APCD to be necessary to assure compliance with the
provisions of Section 25-7-114.5(7)(a), C.R.S.
24. 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 shall constitute a rejection of the entire permit
and upon such occurrence, this permit shall 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. If a source or activity is to be discontinued, the owner must notify the Division
in writing requesting a cancellation of the permit. Upon notification, annual fee billing will
terminate.
26. Violation of the terms of a permit or of the provisions of the Colorado Air Pollution Prevention
and Control Act or the regulations of the AQCC may result in administrative, civil or criminal
enforcement actions under Sections 25-7-115 (enforcement), -121 (injunctions), -122 (civil
penalties), -122.1 (criminal penalties), C.R.S.

Section II.A.5 - Smokeless Flare or Flares for the Combustion of Waste Gases No owner or operator of a
smokeless flare or other flare for the combustion of waste gases shall allow or cause emissions into the
atmosphere of any air pollutant which is in excess of 30% opacity for a period or periods aggregating more
than six minutes in any sixty consecutive minutes.
Regulation 2 — Odor
Section I.A - No person, wherever located, shall cause or allow the emission of odorous air contaminants from
any single source such as to result in detectable odors which are measured in excess of the following limits:
For areas used predominantly for residential or commercial purposes it is a violation if odors are detected after
the odorous air has been diluted with seven (7) or more volumes of odor free air.
