Process Description:

The Tiffany 5 Pad produces coalbed methane natural gas. The two wells on this pad include

Tiffany 5-2 and Tiffany 5-3. Both wells currently utilize artificial lift to optimize production. The

well streams are routed through fired separators to separate natural gas and produced water. The

gas is compressed and then sent through a tri-ethylene glycol dehydrator unit to remove

entrained water.

These wells do not produce any condensate or natural gas liquids, and the VOC content of the

produced gas is less than 0.1 percent by weight. Current production at this facility is about 12

million cubic feet per day with compressor inlet at about 90 pounds per square inch gauge and

compressor discharge at about 400 pounds per square inch gauge.

Emission sources at the Tiffany 5 Pad include one natural gas fired compressor engine, two

natural gas fired artificial lift engines, one microturbine, two natural gas fired separator heaters,

one tri-ethylene glycol dehydrator, one natural gas fired glycol reboiler, chemical storage tanks,

one produced water storage tank, one natural gas fired tank heater, and fugitive components. The

engines constructed at the facility are one 1,215 nameplate-rated horsepower Waukesha L5790

GSI compressor engine and two 24.5 nameplate-rated horsepower Arrow C101 artificial lift

engines. The compressor engine is a rich burn engine equipped with an air to fuel ratio controller

and non-selective catalytic reduction.

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)]

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.

8

[RAC 2-118(1)(b)]

1.1.6.1.3.

1.1.6.2.

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)]

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)

are revised each calendar year to account for inflation, and they are available from AQD prior to

the start of each calendar year.]

1.1.6.3.

The permittee shall exclude the following emissions from the calculation

of fees:

1.1.6.3.1.

The amount of actual emissions of any one fee pollutant that the

source emits in excess of 4,000 tpy.

1.1.6.3.2.

Any emissions that come from insignificant activities not required

in a permit application pursuant to RAC §2-106(4).

[RAC 1-103(2)(c)]

1.1.7. Annual fee calculation worksheets shall be certified as to truth, accuracy, and

completeness by a responsible official.

[RAC 2-105 and RAC 2-118(2)(c)]

1.1.8. Failure of the permittee to pay fees by the due date shall subject the permittee to

assessment of penalties and interest in accordance with RAC §2-118(6).

[RAC 2-118(6)]

1.1.9. When notified by the Tribe of underpayment of fees, the permittee shall remit full

payment within 30 days of receipt of an invoice from the Tribe.

[RAC 2-119(3)(b)]

1.1.10. A permittee who thinks a Tribe assessed fee is in error and who wishes to

challenge such fee shall provide a written explanation of the alleged error to the

Tribe along with full payment of the assessed fee.

request for an administrative permit revision.]

1.8. Minor Permit Revisions [RAC 2-111(3)]

1.8.1. The permittee may submit an application for a minor permit revision as defined in

RAC §1-103.

1.8.2. An application requesting the use of minor permit revision procedures shall meet

the requirements of RAC §2-106(4) and shall include the following:

1.8.2.1.

A description of the change, the emissions resulting from the change, and

any new applicable requirements that will apply if the change occurs;

1.8.2.2.

If changes are requested to the permit language, the permittee’s suggested

draft permit changes;

1.8.2.3.

Certification by a responsible official, consistent with RAC §2-105, that

the proposed revision meets the criteria for use of minor permit revision

procedures and a request that such procedures be used; and

1.8.2.4.

Completed forms for the Tribe to use to notify the Administrator and

affected programs as required under RAC §2-108.

1.8.2.5.

The EPA will make all the information submitted through CEDRI

available to the public without further notice to you. Do not use CEDRI to

submit information you claim as CBI. Although we do not expect persons

to assert a claim of CBI, if you wish to assert a CBI claim for some of the

information in the report or notification, you must submit a complete file

in the format specified in this subpart, including information claimed to be

CBI, to the EPA following the procedures in this §60.5420b(d). Clearly

mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be CBI.

Information not marked as CBI may be authorized for public release

without prior notice. Information marked as CBI will not be disclosed

except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. All CBI

claims must be asserted at the time of submission. Anything submitted

61

using CEDRI cannot later be claimed CBI. Furthermore, under CAA

section 114(c), emissions data is not entitled to confidential treatment, and

the EPA is required to make emissions data available to the public. Thus,

emissions data will not be protected as CBI and will be made publicly

available. You must submit the same file submitted to the CBI office with

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

and RAC 4-103]

The permittee is the owner or operator of a glycol dehydration unit that is exempt from

the standards of 40 CFR §63.764(d). The permittee shall retain each determination used

to demonstrate that the actual average benzene emissions from each dehydrator are below

0.90 megagram per year.

[40 CFR 63.764(e)(1), 63.772(b), and 63.774(d)(1)]

2.1.1. 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-GLYCalc TM

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 in determining actual average benzene emissions

annually, if multiple gas samples are collected within a 12-month period.
