A copy of the application,the Division's analysis, and a draft of Construction Permit 13 WE2085 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 www.colorado.gov/cdphe/AirPublicNotices
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

Periodic Testing Requirements
16. On an annual basis,the operator shall complete a site specific extended gas analysis of the
natural gas produced at this site that is routed to the flare in order to verify the VOC content
(weight fraction) of this emission stream used in the permit application. Results of testing

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
17. A revised Air Pollutant Emission Notice(APEN)shall be filed: (Reference: Regulation No.3,
Part A, II.C)
a. Annually 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 any non-criteria reportable pollutant:
If the emissions increase by 50% or five (5)tons per year,whichever is less, above
the level reported on the last APEN submitted to the Division.

e. No later than 30 days before the existing APEN expires.
18. Federal regulatory program requirements (i.e. PSD, NANSR or Title V Operating Permit)
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 No. 3 Part D).
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
19. 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 No. 3, Part B, Section II.B upon a request for transfer of ownership and the
submittal of a revised APEN and the required fee.
20. 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 No. 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

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

Division in writing requesting a cancellation of the permit. Upon notification, annual fee
billing will terminate.
25. 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

operator of a source shall allow or cause the emission into the atmosphere of any air
pollutant which is in excess of 20% opacity. This standard is based on 24 consecutive
opacity readings taken at 15-second intervals for six minutes. The approved reference test
method for visible emissions measurement is EPA Method 9 (40 CFR, Part 60, Appendix
001 A(July, 1992)) in all subsections of Section II. A and B of this regulation.

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
001 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.

Regulatory Applicability
AQCC Regulation 1
This source is subject to the opacity requirements for flares in Section IIA.5:'No owner or operator
of a smokeless flare or other flare for the combustion of waste gases shall alow or cause emissions
into the atmosphere of any air pollutant which is in excess of 30%opacity.'
AQCC Regulation 2
Section I.A applies to all emission sources."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 units: For areas used predom'antly 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."
AQCC Regulation 3
An APEN is required for this source because uncontrolled VOC emissions
Part A: exceed one ton per year in a nonattainment area for ozone.
A permit is required for this source because uncontrolled VOC emissions from
this facility exceed two tons per year in a nonattainment area for ozone.
Part B: This source Is subject to Section III.D.2(Minor Source RACT)because it is
located in a nonattainment area.RACT for this source has been determined to
be the use of a flare to control emissions.
