PUBLIC NOTICE OF A PROPOSED PROJECT
OR ACTIVITY WARRANTING PUBLIC COMMENT
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: Whiting Oil and Gas Corporation
Facility: Razor 27-3414H
Crude Oil Exploration and Production Facility
Section 27,TI0N, R58W
Weld County
The proposed project or activity is as follows: Gas Venting from a Separator that is controlled by a flare
The Division has determined that this permitting action is subject to public comment per Colorado Regulation No.

• permitted emissions exceed public notice threshold values in Regulation No. 3, Part B, Section III.C.I.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 13 WE2179 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

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.
19. 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
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

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
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 applicant 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 applicant or applicant'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 applicant, or the Division revokes a permit,the applicant
or 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.

For Reg. 3, Part B, III.C.1.d (synthetic minor emission limits)? X Yes No
Section 11 —Modeling
Is modeling required to demonstrate compliance with National Ambient Yes X No
Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)?
If"yes", for which pollutants?Why? NOx emissions are less than 40 TPY.
AIRS Point Section 12—Regulatory Review
Regulation 1 - Particulate, Smoke, Carbon Monoxide and Sulfur Dioxide
Section II.A.1 - Except as provided in paragraphs 2 through 6 below, no owner or
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
004 A (July, 1992)) in all subsections of Section II. A and B of this regulation.
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
at contaminants from any single source such as to result in detectable odors which are
004 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.

Part A-APEN Requirements
Criteria Pollutants: For criteria pollutants, Air Pollutant Emission Notices are required for:
004 each individual emission point in an attainment area with uncontrolled actual emissions of
two tons per year or more of any individual criteria pollutant (pollutants are not summed)
for which the area is attainment.
(Applicant is required to file an APEN since emissions exceed 2 tons per year VOC)
Part B—Construction Permit Exemptions
004 Applicant is required to obtain a permit since uncontrolled VOC emissions from this
facility are greater than the 5.0 TPY threshold(Reg. 3, Part B, Section ILD.3.a)

Section 14—Miscellaneous Application Notes
AIRS Point 004 Flare
Operator provided an extended gas analysis and emissions were calculated using EPA Emission
Inventory Improvement Program Publication, Volume II, Chapter 10-Displacement equation (10.4-3)
where:
Ex=Q " MW "Xx/C
Ex=emissions of pollutant x
Q =Volumetric flow rate/volume of gas processed
MW= Molecular weight of gas = SG of gas " MW of air
Xx = mass fraction of x in gas
C = molar volume of ideal gas (379 scf/lb-mol) at 60F and 1 atm
Emissions generated from the flare are:
Uncontrolled Total (Ib/yr) Controlled Total (Ib/yr)
NOx 10400 10400
VOC 1752200 87600
CO 20600 20600
Benzene 3912 196
Toluene 4153 208
Ethylbenzene 665 33
Xylenes 1063 53

An gas analysis was provided in the application dated 02/07/13. The gas analysis was perfomed less
than a year of submittal. An updated extended gas analysis will not be required because:
Pick one:
