SECTION I - General Activities and Summary
1. Permitted Activities
Denver Regional Landfill North (DRLN) is a municipal solid waste landfill and falls under the
Standard Industrial Classification 4953. This landfill is closed and no longer accepts waste.
Landfill gas is generated from the decomposition of organic materials found in landfills.
Landfill gas is primarily composed of methane and carbon dioxide. Volatile organic compounds
(VOC) and hazardous air pollutants (1-IAP) are present in landfill gas in trace amounts. These
landfill gases escape from the landfill and are emitted into the air. A gas collection and control
system (GCCS) has been installed at this landfill. Collected emissions are sent to the Timberline
Energy facility or sent to a flare that is located on the adjacent landfill (Denver Regional Landfill
South). Controlled emissions and combustion emissions from the flare are found in operating
permit 03OPWE254.
This facility is located at 1441 Weld County Road Six, Eric, Weld County. The area is classified
as non -attainment for ozone and is part of the 8 -hour Ozone Control Area as defined in Colorado
Regulation No. 7. Section II.A.I. There are no affected states within 50 miles of this facility.
The following Federal Class I designated areas are within 100 kilometers of the plant: Rocky

2.1 The permittee shall be allowed to make the following changes to its method of operation without
applying for a revision of this permit.
2.1.1 No separate operating scenarios have been specified.
3. Non -Attainment New Source Review (NANSR) and Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD)
3.1 The DRLN is located adjacent to the Denver Regional Landfill South, the Front Range landfill,
and the Timberline Energy facility and they are considered to be a single stationary source for
purposes of Title V, PSD, and NANSR. This facility is categorized as a NANSR major
stationary source (Potential to Emit of VOC or NOx > 100 Tons/Year). Future modifications at
this facility resulting in a significant net emissions increase (see Reg 3, Part D, Sections II.A.27
and 44) for VOC or NOx or a modification which is major by itself (Potential to Emit of > 100
TPY of either VOC or NOx) may result in the application of the NANSR review requirements.
This facility is categorized as a PSD major stationary source (Potential to emit > 250 Tons/Year
for CO). Future modifications at this facility resulting in a significant net emissions increase
(see Reg 3, Part D, Sections ll.A.27 and 44) or a modification which is major by itself (Potential
to Emit of> 250 TPY) for any pollutant listed in Regulation No. 3, Part D, Section ILA.44 for
which the area is in attainment or attainment/maintenance may result in the application of the
PSD review requirements.
Operating Permits 03OPWE254, 97OPWE188 and construction permit 10WE1096 (Timberline
Energy) are to be considered in conjunction with this operating permit for purposes of
determining the applicability or non -applicability of Prevention of Significant Deterioration
(PSD) regulations.

(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.
Nothing in this section shall abrogate the Division's authority to conduct its own performance test(s) if so warranted.
d. Affirmative Defense Provision for Excess Emissions during Malfunctions
An affirmative defense to a claim of violation under these regulations is provided to owners and operators for civil
penalty actions for excess emissions during periods of malfunction. 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 evidence that:
(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;
(v) All reasonably possible steps were taken to minimize the impact of the 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;
(viii) The excess emissions were not part of a recurring pattern indicative of inadequate design, operation, or
maintenance;
(ix) At all times, the facility was operated in a manner consistent with good practices for minimizing emissions.
This section 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; and
(x) During the period of excess emissions, there were no exceedances of the relevant ambient air quality
standards established in the Commissions' Regulations that could be attributed to the emitting source.
The owner or operator of the facility experiencing excess emissions during a malfunction
shall notify the division verbally as soon as possible, but no later than noon of the
Division's next working day, and shall submit written notification following the initial
occurrence of the excess emissions by the end of the source's next reporting period. 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 failures to meet federally
promulgated performance standards or emission limits, including, but not limited to, new
source performance standards and national emission standards for hazardous air
pollutants. The affirmative defense provision does not apply to state implementation plan

(sip) limits or permit limits that have been set taking into account potential emissions
during malfunctions, including, but not necessarily limited to, certain limits with 30 -day
or longer averaging times, limits that indicate they apply during malfunctions, and limits
that indicate they apply at all times or without exception.
e. Circumvention Clause
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.
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.
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.
4. Compliance Requirements

a. The permittee must comply with all conditions of the Operating Permit. Any permit noncompliance relating to
federally -enforceable terms or conditions constitutes a violation of the federal act, as well as the state act and
Regulation No. 3. Any permit noncompliance relating to state -only terms or conditions constitutes a violation of the
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.
c. 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 Xl. 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
Division, any information that the Division may request in writing to determine whether cause exists for modifying,
revoking and reissuing, or terminating the permit or to determine compliance with the permit. Upon request, the
permittee shall also furnish to the Division copies of records required to be kept by the permittee, including
information claimed to be confidential. Any information subject to a claim of confidentiality shall be specifically
identified and submitted separately from information not subject to the claim.
e. Any schedule for compliance for applicable requirements with which the source is not in compliance at the time of
permit issuance shall be supplemental, and shall not sanction noncompliance with, the applicable requirements on
which it is based.

required to be maintained or followed under the terms and conditions of the Operating Permit.
Emergency Provisions
Regulation No. 3, 5 CCR 1001-5. Part C, & VILE
An 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 the technology -based emission limitation under the permit due to unavoidable increases in
emissions attributable to the emergency. "Emergency" does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by improperly
designed equipment, lack of preventative maintenance, careless or improper operation, or operator error. An emergency
constitutes an affirmative defense to an enforcement action brought for noncompliance with a technology -based emission
limitation if the permittee demonstrates, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence
that:
a. an emergency occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the emergency;
h. the permitted facility was at the time being properly operated;
c. during the period of the emergency the permittee took all reasonable steps to minimize levels of emissions that
exceeded the emission standards, or other requirements in the permit; and
d. the permittee submitted oral notice of the emergency to the Air Pollution Control Division no later than noon of the
next working day following the emergency, and followed by written notice within one month of the time when
emissions limitations were exceeded due to the emergency. This notice must contain a description of the
emergency, any steps taken to mitigate emissions, and corrective actions taken.
This emergency provision is in addition to any emergency or malfunction provision contained in any applicable requirement.

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
rccordkeeping 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 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:

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.
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.

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
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.

1. Purpose
This document will establish the basis for decisions made regarding the Applicable Requirements,
Emission Factors, Monitoring Plan and Compliance Status of Emission Units covered within the
Colorado Title V Operating Permit proposed for this site. The previous Operating Permit for this facility
was issued on October 1, 2005, and expired on October 1, 2010. 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 review of the proposed permit by the EPA, during Public
Comment, and for other interested parties. Information in this report is primarily from the renewal
application received on August 27. 2009. minor modification requests received February 25, 2010 and
August 6, 2010, as well as APENs submitted March 18, 2015 and discussions with the applicant.
Conclusions were also made based on information provided from previous inspection reports and
various e-mail 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.

source (Potential to Emit of VOC or NOx> 100 Tons/Year). Future modifications at this facility resulting in
a significant net emissions increase (see Reg 3, Part D, Sections II.A.27 and 44) for VOC or NOx or a
modification which is major by itself (Potential to Emit of > 100 TPY of either VOC or NOx) may result in
the application of the NANSR review requirements.
This facility is categorized as a PSD major stationary source (Potential to emit > 250 Tons/Year for CO.
Future modifications at this facility resulting in a significant net emissions increase (see Reg 3, Part D,
Sections II.A.27 and 44) or a modification which is major by itself (Potential to Emit of> 250 TPY (use 100
TPY if a listed source category)) for any pollutant listed in Regulation No. 3, Part D, Section II.A.44 for
which the area is in attainment or attainment/maintenance may result in the application of the PSD review
requirements.

*The emissions identified in this table only reflect emissions from DRLN and
do not include emissions from other landfills or facilities that are considered
part of this single source.
The potential -to -emit VOC emissions are calculated from EPA's Landfill Gas Model. This emission rate
is based on the waste contained within the landfill. This landfill no longer accepts any waste, so the
landfill gas emissions should decrease each year. The actual VOC emissions are also based on EPA's
Landfill Gas Model. However, this emission rate was the emission rate predicted by the model for the
2015 calendar year (As reported on the APEN dated 03/18/2015). These emissions are the uncollected
emissions from the landfill based on 25% not being captured by the gas collection system. The collected
emissions are routed to the flare located at DRLS for combustion or to the Timberline Energy facility,
where the gas is combusted in engines to produce electricity. Compliance will be based on the
emissions, resulting from the LandGEM model and the collection efficiencies achieved by the collection
system.
This landfill will not have any haul road traffic because it does not accept waste anymore. Thus, a
Fugitive Emissions Control Plan is not required. The source will be required to calculate the VOC
emissions at least once during the five year permit term using EPA's LandGEM. The model predicts the
landfill gas emissions only on an annual basis. Any exceedances of the annual limits will result in the

source being out of compliance with the terms and conditions of the operating permit. The source will
provide compliance monitoring reports semi-annually and compliance certification reports annually.
4. Applicable Requirements
Greenhouse Gases
The potential -to -emit greenhouse gases (GHGs) at this facility is less than 100,000 TPY CO2e. Future
modifications at this facility that exceed 100,000 TPY CO2e may be subject to regulation. On July 20,
2011, a final rule regarding biogenic CO2 emission was published in the Federal Register. This final
action deferred, for a period of three years, the application of the Prevention of Significant Deterioration
(PSD) and Title V permitting requirements to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from bioenergy and other
biogenic stationary sources (biogenic CO2). As it relates to this facility, biogenic CO2 includes all CO,
generated from the biological decomposition of waste in landfills and CO2 emissions from the
combustion of biogas collected from the biological decomposition of waste in landfills. The U.S. Court
of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit vacated EPA's "Deferral Rule" for biogenic CO2 emissions on July 12,
2013. After July 20, 2014. biogenic CO2 emissions are now considered for PSD and Title V permitting
purposes.
NSPS Subpart WWW
This facility is subject to the provisions of 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart WWW — Standards of Performance
for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills, because the landfill was opened in December 1985 and accepted
waste from 01/01/86 to 4/10/92. The landfill is now closed and has an estimated 4.42 million tons of
refuse in place. The appropriate requirements are included in the operating permit.
MACT Subpart AAAA
This facility is subject to the provisions of 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart AAAA — National Emissions
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Municipal Solid Waste Landfills. The landfill is an area source
landfill with a design capacity of greater than 2.5 million megagrams and 2.5 million cubic meters, and
has an NMOC emission rate above 50 Ma/year.
5. Discussion of Modifications Made
Source Requested Modifications
August 27, 2009 letter (Minor modification requested with renewal application)

2. Update responsible official and contact person
3. Change ozone attainment status to non -attainment
4. Revise VOC monitoring from annually to "as requested by the Division".
The Division will make the requested changes, with the exception of 44. Instead of "as requested" the
Division will require that VOCs be calculated once during the Operating Permit term of five years.
February 14, 2010 letter
1. Update Company name to Denver RL North, Inc
2. Update responsible official and contact person
3. Change ozone attainment status to non -attainment
4. Remove VOC emission limit in condition 1.1.

5. Remove condition 1.2.4 per NSPS, annual NMOC emission rate reporting no longer applicable
6. Remove condition 1.3.3, no longer applicable since DRLN is a closed site
7. Revise 1.4.1 such that records do not have to be maintained on site, since this is a closed landfill.
Require records be kept at Tower Landfill.
The Division will make the requested permit changes, with the exception of deleting the VOC emission
limit. The Division requires an emission limit on all permits as stated in Regulation 3 Part B, II A.4.
August 6, 2010 letter
1. DRLN requests that the permit reference that a third party energy developer may use the landfill
gas to generate power at a future date.
The Division accepted the request and added all applicable conditions to the permit noting that the NSPS
provisions of 60.752(b)(2)(iii)(C) apply.
Other Modifications
In addition to the modifications requested by the source, the Division has included changes to make the
permit more consistent with recently issued permits, include comments made by EPA on other Operating
Permits, as well as correct errors or omissions identified during inspections and/or discrepancies
identified during review of this renewal.
Page Following Cover Page
The monitoring and compliance periods and report and certification due dates are shown as examples.
The appropriate monitoring and compliance periods and report and certification due dates will be filled
in after permit issuance and will be based on permit issuance date. Note that the source may request to
keep the same monitoring and compliance periods and report and certification due dates as were
provided in the original permit. However, it should be noted that with this option, depending on the
permit issuance date, the first monitoring period and compliance period may be short (i.e. less than 6
months and less than 1 year).
Section I — General Activities and Summary
• Made revisions to the language in Condition 3 (prevention of significant deterioration) to be
more consistent with other permits.
Section II — Specific Permit Terms
• The landfill language in this section was updated to the most recent version.
• The default landfill emission parameter for NMOC was revised to 595 ppmv based on AP -42,
Vol. I, CH 2.4: Municipal Solid Waste Landfills. Newer landfills are usually required to use a
higher default NOMC concentration but, because this is a closed landfill that has no history of
accepting petroleum contaminated soils, the lower concentration was approved.
Section IV — General Permit Conditions
• The language in this section was updated to the most recent version.
Appendices
• Added scanned plot plan to Appendix A.
March 2016

APPLICANT: Denver Regional Landfill North REVIEW ENGINEER: Jayson Ellis
SOURCE DESCRIPTION
This source is classified as a municipal solid waste landfill, which falls under the Standard Industrial Classification 4953.
Decomposing waste encapsulated within the landfill produces a gas that is primarily composed of methane and carbon
dioxide. Emissions of non -methane organic compounds (NMOC), which include, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and
Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP), also result from the decomposition of solid waste placed in the landfill.
This facility is located at 1441 Weld County Road 6, Erie, Weld County, Colorado. There are no affected states within 50
miles of this facility. The following Federal Class I designated areas are within 100 kilometers of the plant: Rocky
Mountain National Park, and Rawah Wilderness Area.
The facility is designated as attainment for all criteria pollutants, except Ozone. The area became non -attainment for the
8 -hour ozone ambient standard on November 20, 2007. The DRLN is located adjacent to the Denver Regional Landfill
South, the Front Range landfill, and the Timberline Energy facility and are considered to be a single stationary source.
This facility is categorized as a NANSR major stationary source (Potential to Emit of VOC or NOx > 100 Tons/Year).
Future modifications at this facility resulting in a significant net emissions increase (see Reg 3, Part D, Sections II.A.27 and
44) for VOC or NOx or a modification which is major by itself (Potential to Emit of > 100 TPY of either VOC or NOx) may
result in the application of the NANSR review requirements.
This facility is categorized as a PSD major stationary source (Potential to emit > 250 Tons/Year for CO. Future
modifications at this facility resulting in a significant net emissions increase (see Reg 3, Part D, Sections II.A.27 and 44) or
a modification which is major by itself (Potential to Emit of > 250 TPY) for any pollutant listed in Regulation No. 3, Part D,

1. Permitted Activities
1.1
SECTION I - General Activities and Summary
Denver Regional Landfill North (DRLN) is a municipal solid waste landfill and falls under the
Standard Industrial Classification 4953. This landfill is closed and no longer accepts waste.
Landfill gas is generated from the decomposition of organic materials found in landfills.
Landfill gas is primarily composed of methane and carbon dioxide. Volatile organic compounds
(VOC) and hazardous air pollutants (HAP) are present in landfill gas in trace amounts. These
landfill gases escape from the landfill and are emitted into the air. A gas collection and control
system (GCCS) has been installed at this landfill. Collected emissions are controlled with a flare
that is located on the adjacent landfill (Denver Regional Landfill South). Controlled emissions
and combustion emissions from the flare are found in operating permit 03OPWE254. This
operating permit (99OPWE215) only covers the uncollected landfill gas from DRLN.

applying for a revision of this permit.
2.1.1 No separate operating scenarios have been specified.
3. Prevention Of Significant Deterioration (PSD)
3.1 This facility is located in an area designated attainment for ail pollutants. Based on the
information provided by the applicant, it is not categorized as a major stationary source (no
single criteria pollutant emissions with a Potential to Emit of greater than 250 TPY as of the
issue date of this permit. The source therefore is not subject to the PSD review requirements of
40 CFR 52.21 (Colorado RegulationiNo;_3,Part D Section VI)isiltty is located in the 8-
hr Ozone Control Area`yas defined_,rn Alac
eg tlation Too 7 ILA`. 16 [Please update the
nonattainment designation for the southern portion of Weld County.]
Future modifications to this facility which are major by itself will result in the application of the PSD
review requirements. In addition, future modifications at this facility may result in the facility
being classified as a major stationary source. Once that threshold is exceeded. future
modifications at this facility resulting in a significant net emissions increase (see Reg. 3, Part D,
Sections Il.A.27 and 44) for any pollutant as listed in Regulation No. 3, Part D, Section II.A.44
or a modification which is major by itself may result in the application of the PSD review
requirements.
Operating Permit 03OPWE254 is to be considered in conjunction with this operating permit for
purposes of determining the applicability or non -applicability of Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) regulations.
4. Accidental Release Prevention Program (112(r))
4.1 Based upon the information provided by the applicant, the sources addressed in this permit are
not subject to the provisions of the Accidental Release Prevention Program (section 1 12(r) of the
Federal Clean Air Act).

5.1 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 in

1.1
SECTION I - General Activities and Summary
Denver Regional Landfill North (DRLN) is a municipal solid waste landfill and falls under the
Standard Industrial Classification 4953. This landfill is closed and no longer accepts waste.
Landfill gas is generated from the decomposition of organic materials found in landfills.
Landfill gas is primarily composed of methane and carbon dioxide. Volatile organic compounds
(VOC) and hazardous air pollutants (HAP) are present in landfill gas in trace amounts. These
landfill gases escape from the landfill and are emitted into the air. A gas collection and control
system (GCCS) has been installed at this landfill. Collected emissions are controlled with a flare
that is located on the adjacent landfill (Denver Regional Landfill South) did canal: .coe,c e
