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,

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.

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

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)]

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
