RE: Part 70 Operating Permit – Permit Renewal
Title V Permit # V-SUIT-0045-2025.00
Red Cedar Gathering Company
Spring Creek Compressor Station
Mr. Hunderman,
The Southern Ute Indian Tribe Air Quality Division (AQD) has completed its review of Red Cedar
Gathering Company’s (Red Cedar) request to renew a Title V Permit to Operate, pursuant to the Title V
Operating Permit Program at 40 CFR Part 70, for the Spring Creek Compressor Station.
Based on the information submitted in Red Cedar’s application, the AQD hereby issues the enclosed
Title V Permit to Operate. The final permit will become effective on December 23, 2025.
A 30-day public comment period was held from August 8, 2025, to September 7, 2025. The AQD
received comments from Red Cedar during this time. No comments were received from the public,
affected states, or tribes. Following the 30-day public comment period, the AQD made the following
changes:
1. Section I.2. – The Install dates for emission units C-204 and C-205 were changed from
02/17/2009 to 07/30/2022 and 08/11/2009 to 05/24/2022.
2. Section III.2.1. – Replaced the term “12-month period” with “calendar year”. Additionally, the
AQD updated the bracketed notation to state that Red Cedar has elected to model emissions
according to alternative test method ALT-147.
3. Section III.2.2. – Added a closing period to paragraph III.2.2.4.2. Additionally, the AQD
removed paragraphs III.2.2.6.3.2.1. and III.2.2.6.3.2.2.
For a more detailed discussion of these comments and the resultant changes, please review the Response
to Comments document attached to this permit.
A 45-day Administrative Review period at EPA Region 8 was held from November 6, 2025, to
December 22, 2025. No comments were received from EPA Region 8 during this review period.
Pursuant to RAC §2-109(8), within 60 days after the final permit has been issued, the applicant, any person
who participated in the public comment process and is aggrieved by the action, and any other person who
could obtain judicial review of that action under applicable law, may appeal to the Environmental
Commission in accordance with the Southern Ute Indian Tribe/State of Colorado Environmental
Commission’s Reservation Air Code (RAC) and the Commission’s Procedural Rules. Additionally, the
regulations at RAC §2-109(7) specify that any person may petition the EPA Administrator within 60 days
after the expiration of the Administrator’s 45-day review period to make an objection that the permit
would not be in compliance with applicable requirements. Any such petition must be based only on
objections to the permit that were raised with reasonable specificity during the public comment period
unless the petitioner demonstrates that it was impracticable to raise such objections within such period, or
unless the grounds for such objections arose after such period.
If you have any questions concerning the enclosed permit, please feel free to contact me.

Response to Comments Document
Operator: Red Cedar Gathering Company
Facility: Spring Creek Compressor Station
Permit Action: Title V Operating Permit Renewal
Comments From Red Cedar Gathering Company Received on Draft Title V Operating
Permit V-SUIT-0045-2025.00
I. Permit Provision I.2.: Source Emission Points
Comment #1:
Provision I.2. Table 1 – Emission Units
- AQD does not define "Install Date" but appears to be using the term to mean the date that
the engine with the listed serial number was installed on site and not the engine's
"commenced construction" date. If not, then the dates listed in table likely need correction. If
so, then: the “install date” for Spring Creek C-204 should be changed from 02/17/2009 to
07/30/2022 and Spring Creek C-205 should be changed from 08/11/2009 to 05/24/2022
AQD’s Response #1:
The requested changes have been made. The AQD defines the term “Install Date” and
“Installation Date” as the date the engine with the associated serial number is placed at a
source. The install date assists the AQD with tracking initial compliance provisions, such
as initial performance testing. The AQD will update the ‘install date’ to reflect the likekind engine exchange that took place on May 24, 2022, and July 30, 2022.
II. Permit Provision III.2.1.: 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HH – National Emission Standards
for Hazardous Air Pollutants From Oil and Natural Gas Production Facilities [40 CFR
63.760 - 63.779, RAC 4-103]
Comment #2:
Provision III.2.1.1.
- We suggest revising the phrase "within a 12-month period" to "during the calendar year"
because the former is undefined, the start and end dates of "a 12-month period" may
describe any time in history so long the dates bound a period spanning 12-months, and the
paragraph's requirements are otherwise based upon an "at least once per calendar year"
frequency. Therefore, it follows that the allowable gas samples to be used for emissions
modeling should be limited to those obtained during the same calendar year for which
emissions are calculated.
In addition, on September 23, 2024, Red Cedar submitted a notification of intent to use
alternative test method ALT-147. Therefore, Red Cedar requests the italicized paragraph be
corrected to clarify that ProMax has indeed elected to model emissions according to the
alternative method.
Suggested language: The permittee must obtain an extended wet gas analysis of the inlet gas
stream at least once per calendar year. The gas sample shall be taken at a point prior to where
the gas enters the dehydration system contact tower. The analysis shall include the gas
temperature and pressure at which the sample was taken. The gas analysis results and
corresponding temperature and pressure documented during collection of the gas sample
must be used to determine the actual average benzene emissions annually, in accordance with
§63.772(b)(2)(i) or (ii). If electing to make this demonstration according §63.772(b)(2)(i),
using the GRI-GLYCalcTM model, the permittee shall perform each model run using a
single gas analysis and the corresponding temperature and pressure documented during
collection of the gas sample. The permittee may elect to average the results of multiple
GRIGLYCalcTM model runs to determine in determining actual annual average benzene
emissions annually, if multiple gas samples were are collected during the calendar year
within a 12-month period.
[The permittee has elected to model emissions according to alternative test method ALT-147.
If applying the use of ProMax® (ProMax), Red Cedar should continue to The permittee shall
adhere to the requirements of Subpart HH language as written in their current permits with
the exception that using ProMax Version 5.0 or higher may be used in place of GRIGLYCalc for the specific provisions identified in the EPA approval memo until receiving
AQD approval to use a different method. The use of ProMax is an alternative EPA approved
method (ALT-147). Should Red Cedar elect to use ProMax as an alternative method, Red
Cedar may not use another method until receiving AQD approval.]
AQD’s Response #2:
The AQD recognizes the inconsistency in both “calendar year” and “12-month period”
within the same provision. The AQD has revised the provision by replacing “12-month
period” with “calendar year”. The requested change has been made.
Red Cedar submitted a notice of intent to use ProMax in September 2024. Red Cedar
used ProMax in their October 2024 Spring Creek Title V renewal application to
determine the actual average benzene emissions and applicability to 40 CFR Part 63,
Subpart HH, triggering the requirement 1 to continue to use ProMax until Red Cedar

Letter from Steffan Johnson, Group Leader, Measurement Technology Group, U.S. EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and
Standards, to Josh Ravichandran, Bryan Research & Engineering, LLC, Re: Response to request for broad source category-wide
approval for use of Bryan Research & Engineering’s process simulation software, ProMax® (ProMax) in lieu of the GRIGLYCalc™ software (GLYCalc) for modeling glycol dehydration unit emissions in demonstrating compliance with 40 CFR part
63, subpart HH, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from Oil and Gas Production Facilities (Subpart HH).

receives an additional approval to use another method. The AQD has revised the
bracketed notation as follows:
[The permittee has elected to model emissions according to alternative test method ALT147. The permittee shall adhere to the requirements of Subpart HH language as written
in their current permits with the exception that ProMax Version 5.0 or higher will be
used in place of GRI-GLYCalc for the specific provisions identified in the EPA approval

III. Permit Provision III.2.2.: 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ – National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Reciprocating Internal Combustion
Engines [40 CFR 63.6580 - 63.6675, RAC 4-103]
Comment #3:
Provision III.2.2.4.2.
- This paragraph is missing a closing period.
AQD’s Response #3:
The requested change has been made.
Comment #4:
Provision III.2.2.6.3.2.1. & III.2.2.6.3.2.2.
- This paragraph is unnecessary. Beyond describing EPA's preferred CBI submittal methods,
of which Red Cedar is aware, this paragraph does not serve a purpose in an operating
permit. Indeed, since the permittee must annually certify compliance with "all permit terms
and conditions" [I.1.2.2.1] of the permit, informational paragraphs like these could feasibly
lead to unnecessary permit deviations should the CBI process not occur in the exact manner
described.
AQD’s Response #4:
The requested changes have been made.

Process Description:
The Spring Creek compressor station is a low to high pressure compressor station capable of
processing roughly 26 MMscf/day. The station receives two inlet gas streams. Both inlet streams
are from various well locations and producer pipelines on the east side of the reservation, with an
inlet pressure of approximately 30-80 psi. The gas first is compressed through five compressors,
driven by Caterpillar G3516LE engines to approximately 800-900 psi. It is then processed
through two TEG dehydrators set in parallel (i.e., the gas is split evenly between the two
dehydration units.) The gas comes in saturated and leaves the station at less than 7 lbs
H2O/MMscf. After dehydration, the gas goes through the outlet meter building, with a portion
being routed back to the station as fuel gas. The gas is then sent to the Val Verde State Line
meter station, where it leaves Red Cedar custody.

Section II – General Requirements
Title V Administrative Requirements
1.1. Annual Fee Payment [RAC 2-110(1)(h) and RAC 2-118]
1.1.1. An annual operating permit emission fee shall be paid to the Tribe by the
permittee.
[RAC 2-118(2)]
1.1.2. The permittee shall pay the annual permit fee each year no later than April 1st for
the preceding calendar year.
[RAC 2-118(2)]
1.1.3. Fee payments shall be remitted in the form of a money order, bank draft, certified
check, corporate check, or electronic funds transfer payable to the Southern Ute
Indian Tribe and sent or delivered by the United States Postal Service c/o
Environmental Programs Department Part 70 Program, P.O. Box 737 MS #84,
Ignacio, Colorado 81137; or by common carrier (such as UPS or FedEx) c/o
Environmental Programs Department Part 70 Program, 398 Ouray Drive, Ignacio,
Colorado 81137.
[RAC 2-118(4)(a)]
1.1.4. The permittee shall send an updated fee calculation worksheet submitted annually
by the same deadline as required for fee payment to the address listed in the
Submissions section of this permit.
[RAC 2-118]
1.1.5. The permittee shall submit the initial fee calculation work sheet using the most
recent form provided by the Tribe.
[RAC 2-118(2)(c)]
1.1.6. Basis for calculating annual fee:
1.1.6.1.
Subtotal annual fees shall be calculated by multiplying the applicable
emission fee set pursuant to RAC §2-119(1) of this code times the total
tons of actual emissions for each fee pollutant. In lieu of actual emissions,
annual fees may be calculated based on the potential to emit for each fee
pollutant. Emissions of any regulated air pollutant that already are
included in the fee calculation under a category of regulated pollutant,
such as a federally listed hazardous air pollutant that is already accounted
for as a VOC or as PM10, shall be counted only once in determining the
source’s actual emissions.
[RAC 2-119(2)(a)]
8
1.1.6.1.1.
“Actual emissions” means the actual rate of emissions in tpy of
any fee pollutant (for fee calculation) emitted from a Title V
source over the preceding calendar year or any other period
determined by the Tribe to be more representative of normal
operation and consistent with the fee schedule adopted by the Tribe
and approved by the Administrator. Actual emissions shall be
calculated using each emissions units actual operating hours,
production rates, in-place control equipment, and types of
materials processed, stored, or combusted during the preceding
calendar year or other period used for this calculation.
[RAC 1-103(2)]
1.1.6.1.2.
Actual emissions shall be computed using compliance methods
required by the permit.
[RAC 2-118(1)(b)]
1.1.6.1.3.
If actual emissions cannot be determined using the compliance
methods in the permit, the permittee shall use other federally
recognized procedures.
[RAC 2-118(1)(b)]
1.1.6.2.
The total annual fee submitted shall be the greater of the applicable
minimum fee or the sum of subtotal annual fees for all fee pollutants
emitted from the source.
[RAC 2-119(2)(b)]
[Explanatory note: The applicable emission fee amount and applicable minimum fee (if necessary)
