RE: Part 70 Operating Permit – Permit Renewal

Title V Permit # V-SUIT-0001-2026.00

SIMCOE, LLC

Treating Site #1 Compressor Station

Ms. Best,

The Southern Ute Indian Tribe Air Quality Division (AQD) has completed its review of SIMCOE,

LLC’s (SIMCOE) request to renew a Title V Permit to Operate, pursuant to the Title V Operating

Permit Program at 40 CFR Part 70, for the Treating Site #1 Compressor Station.

Based on the information submitted in SIMCOE’s application, the AQD hereby issues the enclosed Title

V Permit to Operate. The final permit will become effective on January 16, 2026.

A 30-day public comment period was held from October 31, 2025, to November 30, 2025. The AQD

received no comments from SIMCOE during this time. No comments were received from the public,

affected states, or tribes.

A 45-day Administrative Review period at EPA Region 8 was held from December 2, 2025, to January

15, 2026. 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.

Sincerely,

Reyes Shendo

PSD Permit # PSD-SU-0006-95.01

Process Description:

Treating Site #1 was a central facility used to separate and dry the gas and water recovered from

the coal matrix reservoirs of the San Juan Basin of the Ignacio Blanco Fruitland field. On

November 4, 2014, the compression side of the facility was air gapped. In 2020, the saltwater

disposal well pump was air gapped.

At the current Treating Site #1, produced water is piped into tanks at the location. The water is

then transferred offsite for disposal. The facility’s primary pollutant-emitting source is a rich

burn generator engine fueled by natural gas.

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

8

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

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)

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)]

9

1.2.1. Compliance with the Permit

1.2.1.1.

The permittee must comply with all conditions of this part 70 permit. Any

permit noncompliance with federally enforceable or Commission-only

permit conditions constitutes a violation of the RAC and Clean Air Act

and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit termination, revocation

and reissuance, or revision; or for denial of a permit renewal application.

[RAC 2-110(3)(a)]

thereafter make the change only after the application is deemed complete. After

the permittee makes the change and until the Tribe takes any of the actions

specified in the following subsection, the permittee must comply with both the

applicable requirements governing the change and the proposed permit terms and

conditions. During this period, the permittee need not comply with the existing

permit terms and conditions it seeks to modify. If the permittee fails to comply

with its proposed permit terms and conditions during this period, however, the

existing permit terms and conditions it seeks to modify may be enforced against

it. The filing of a minor permit revision application does not authorize

construction or modification of a source under the NSR preconstruction permit

program. It is the permittee’s responsibility to determine if a preconstruction

permit is required prior to commencing construction, modification, or

reconstruction.

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.

2.2.4.2.

Where the underlying applicable requirement fails to address the time

frame for reporting deviations, reports of deviations will be submitted

based on the following schedule:

2.2.4.2.1.

For emissions of a hazardous air pollutant or a toxic air pollutant

(as identified in the applicable regulation) that continue for more

than an hour in excess of permit requirements, the report must be

made by email, telephone, verbal, or facsimile communication by

the close of business the next working day, upon discovery of the

occurrence, and in writing within 10 working days from the

occurrence;

2.2.4.2.2.

For emissions of any regulated air pollutant, excluding those listed

in RAC §2-110(7)(b)(i), that continue for more than 2 hours in

You have the option of utilizing an oil analysis program in order to extend

the specified oil change requirement in Table 2d to this subpart. The oil

analysis must be performed at the same frequency specified for changing

the oil in Table 2d to this subpart. The analysis program must at a minimum

analyze the following three parameters: Total Acid Number, viscosity, and

percent water content. The condemning limits for these parameters are as

follows: Total Acid Number increases by more than 3.0 milligrams of

potassium hydroxide (KOH) per gram from Total Acid Number of the oil

when new; viscosity of the oil has changed by more than 20 percent from

the viscosity of the oil when new; or percent water content (by volume) is

greater than 0.5. If all of these condemning limits are not exceeded, the

engine owner or operator is not required to change the oil. If any of the

limits are exceeded, the engine owner or operator must change the oil within

2 business days of receiving the results of the analysis; if the engine is not

in operation when the results of the analysis are received, the engine owner

or operator must change the oil within 2 business days or before

commencing operation, whichever is later. The owner or operator must keep
