RE: Part 70 Operating Permit – Permit Renewal
Title V Permit # V-SUIT-0049-2025.00
Red Cedar Gathering Company
Sambrito 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 Sambrito 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 III.1.1. – Removed paragraphs III.1.1.4.2., III.1.1.6.5.1., III.1.1.6.5.2., III.1.1.6.6., and
III.1.1.6.7.
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. – 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: Sambrito Compressor Station
Permit Action: Title V Operating Permit Renewal
Comments From Red Cedar Gathering Company Received on Draft Title V Operating
Permit V-SUIT-0049-2025.00
I. Permit Provision III.1.1.: 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ – Standards of Performance
for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines [40 CFR 60.4230 - 60.4248,
RAC 3-102]
Comment #1:
Provision III.1.1.4.2.
- This paragraph does not apply and should be removed. Unit E-2400 (Sambrito) is a 4SLB
engine and it’s emissions are therefore not controlled using three-way catalysts/non-selective
reduction.
AQD’s Response #1:
The AQD verified there are no three-way catalysts/non-selective catalysts installed at the
Sambrito Compressor Station. The requested change has been made.
Comment #2:
Provision III.1.1.6.5.1. & III.1.1.6.5.2.
- 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 #2:
The requested changes have been made.
Comment #3:
Provision III.1.1.6.6-7.
- These paragraphs are unnecessary. Beyond describing how the permittee "may" handle an
EPA system outage or assert force majeure, 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 process not occur in the exact manner described.
AQD’s Response #3:
The requested changes have been made.
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 #4:
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 #4:
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 December 2024 Sambrito Title V renewal application to determine
the actual average benzene emissions and applicability to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HH,
triggering the requirement1 to continue to use ProMax until Red Cedar 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
memo until receiving AQD approval to use a different method.]
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 #5:
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 #5:
The requested changes have been made.

Process Description:
According to Red Cedar, the Sambrito Compressor Station is a low to high pressure
compressor station capable of processing roughly 80 MMscf/day. The station receives inlet gas
from various producer pipelines and well locations on the east side of the reservation, with an
inlet pressure of approximately 50-60 psi. The gas is first compressed through 5 compressors
driven by Caterpillar G3616LE lean burn compressor engines to approximately 900-950 psi.
The gas is then processed through two tri-ethylene glycol 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.

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
8
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.
[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.
9
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.
[RAC 2-119(3)(c)]
1.2. Compliance Requirements
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)]
1.2.1.2.
It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it
would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order
to maintain compliance with the conditions of this permit.
[RAC 2-110(3)(b)]
1.2.1.3.
All terms and conditions of this permit which are required under the Clean

with the provisions of the RAC and the Clean Air Act, applicable
regulations thereunder, and any other applicable law or regulation.
[RAC 2-110(3)(g)]
1.2.1.5.
For the purpose of submitting compliance certifications in accordance
with the Compliance Certifications condition below of this permit, or
establishing whether or not a person has violated or is in violation of any
requirement of this permit, nothing shall preclude the use, including the
exclusive use, of any credible evidence or information, relevant to whether
a source would have been in compliance with applicable requirements if
the appropriate performance or compliance test or procedure had been
performed.
[Section 113(a) and 113(e)(1) of the Act, 40 CFR §§51.212, 52.12, 52.33, 60.11(g), and 61.12]

certified as to truth, accuracy, and completeness by a responsible official
consistent with RAC §2-110(9)(a). The certification of compliance shall
be submitted annually by April 1st and shall cover the preceding calendar
year in which the certification of compliance is due, except that the first
annual certification of compliance will cover the period from the issuance
date of this permit through December 31st of the same year.
[RAC 2-110(9)(c)]
1.2.3. Compliance Schedule
1.2.3.1.
For applicable requirements with which the source is in compliance, the
source will continue to comply with such requirements.
[RAC 2-106(4)(l)(ii)]

any information that the Tribe request in writing to determine whether cause
exists for reopening and revising, revoking, and reissuing, or terminating the
permit, or to determine compliance with the permit. Upon request, the permittee
shall also furnish to the Tribe copies of records that are required to be kept by the
permit, including information claimed to be confidential. Information claimed to
be confidential must be accompanied by a claim of confidentiality according to
the provisions of RAC 2-124.
[RAC 2-110(7)(e) and RAC 2-124]
1.3.2. The permittee, upon becoming aware that any relevant facts were omitted or
incorrect information was submitted in the permit application or in a supplemental
submittal, shall promptly submit such supplementary facts or corrected
information. In addition, a permittee shall provide additional information as
necessary to address any requirements that become applicable after the date a
complete application is filed, but prior to release of a draft permit.

remain valid and in force.
1.6. Permit Actions [RAC 2-110(3)]
1.6.1. This permit may be modified, reopened and revised, revoked and reissued, or
terminated for cause.
[RAC 2-110(3)(c)]
1.6.2. The filing by the permittee of a request for a permit revision, reissuance, or
termination, or of a notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance
shall not stay any permit condition.
[RAC 2-110(3)(d)]
1.7. Administrative Permit Revision [RAC 2-111(2)]
1.7.1. The permittee may submit an application for an administrative permit revision as
defined in RAC §1-103.
[RAC 2-111(2)(a)]
1.7.2. The permittee may implement an administrative permit revision immediately

[RAC 2-111(2)(c)]
[Note to permittee: If the provisions allowing for an administrative permit revision do not apply,
please contact the Air Quality Division for a determination of similarity prior to submitting your
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;
13
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.

requirements, and an outline of such effects.
[RAC 2-111(3)(a)]
1.8.3. The permittee shall not submit multiple minor permit revision applications that
may conceal a larger revision that would not constitute a minor permit revision.
[RAC 2-111(3)(b)]
1.8.4. The permittee may make the change proposed in its minor permit revision
application immediately after it files such application, provided, however, for
sources that have previously utilized this provision during the term of the permit
and, on two or more occasions have failed to file a complete application, may
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.
[RAC 2-111(3)(e)]

The permittee fails to pay fees required under RAC§§2-118 and 2-119; or
1.10.2.7.
The Administrator has found that cause exists to terminate the permit.
Property Rights [RAC 2-110(3)(e)]
This permit does not convey any property rights of any sort, or any exclusive privilege.
1.12.

location to another or from one source to another, except that a permit may be
transferred from one location to another in the case of a portable source that has
notified the Tribe in advance of the transfer, pursuant to the RAC. A permit for a
source may be transferred from one person to another if the Tribe finds that the
16
transferee is capable of operating the source in compliance with the permit. This
transfer must be accomplished through an administrative permit revision in
accordance with the Administrative Permit Revisions section of this permit.
1.15.
Off-Permit Changes [RAC 2-116(2)]
1.15.1. The permittee is allowed to make, without a permit revision, certain changes that
are not addressed or prohibited by this permit provided that the following
requirements are met:
1.15.1.1.
Each such change meets all applicable requirements and shall not violate
any existing permit term or condition;
1.15.1.2.
Such changes are not subject to any requirements under title IV of the
Clean Air Act and are not modifications under title I of the Clean Air Act;
1.15.1.3.
Such changes are not subject to permit revision procedures under RAC §2111; and
1.15.1.4.
The permittee provides contemporaneous written notice to the Tribe and
the Administrator of each such change, except for changes that qualify as
insignificant activities. Such notice shall state when the change occurred
and shall describe the change, any resulting emissions change, pollutants
emitted, and any applicable requirement that would apply as a result of the
change.
[RAC 2-116(2)(a)]
1.15.2. The permit shield does not apply to changes made under this provision.
[RAC 2-110(10)(d)]

1.16.1. This permit shall expire five years from the issuance date of this permit.
[RAC 2-110(1)(a)]
17
1.16.2. Expiration of this permit terminates the permittee’s right to operate unless a
timely and complete permit renewal application has been submitted at least 6
months but not more than 18 months prior to the date of expiration of this permit.
[RAC 2-107(7)(b)]
1.16.3. If the permittee submits a timely and complete permit application for renewal,
consistent with RAC §2-106 but the Tribe has failed to issue or disapprove a
renewal permit before the end of the permit term, then the permit shall not expire
and all its terms and conditions shall remain in effect until the renewal permit has
been issued or disapproved.
[RAC 2-104(2)(b)]
1.16.4. The ability to operate under this permit shall cease if (1) the Tribe takes final
action to issue the permittee a renewal permit or deny the permittee a permit or
(2) the permittee fails to submit by the deadline specified in writing by the Tribe
any additional information identified as being needed to process the application.
[RAC 2-104(3)]
1.16.5. Renewal of this permit is subject to the same procedures, including those for
public participation and affected program and EPA review, as those that apply to
initial permit issuance.

potential to emit, without federally recognized controls) one or more hazardous
air pollutants is not subject to a relevant standard or other requirement established
18
under 40 CFR part 63, the permittee shall keep a record of the applicability
determination, for a period of five years after the determination, or until the
source changes its operations to become an affected source, whichever comes
first. Each of these records shall be made available to the Tribe upon request. The
record of the applicability determination shall include an analysis (or other
information) that demonstrates why the permittee believes the source is
unaffected (e.g., because the source is an area source).
[40 CFR 63.10(b)(3)]
2.1.2. Records shall be kept of off permit changes made, as required by the Off Permit
Changes section of this permit.
2.2. General Reporting Requirements
2.2.1. The permittee shall submit to the Tribe all reports of any required monitoring
under this permit semiannually, by April 1 and October 1 of each year. The
report due on April 1 shall cover the July 1 - December 31 reporting period of the

from permit requirements shall be clearly identified in such reports. All required
reports shall be certified by a responsible official consistent with the Submissions
section of this permit.
[RAC 2-110(7)(a)]
2.2.2. “Deviation” means any situation in which an emissions unit fails to meet a permit
term or condition. A deviation is not always a violation. A deviation can be
determined by observation or through review of data obtained from any testing,
monitoring, or recordkeeping established in accordance with RAC 2-110(5) and
(6). For a situation lasting more than 24 hours which constitutes a deviation, each
24 hour period is considered a separate deviation. Included in the meaning of
deviation are any of the following:
2.2.2.1.
A situation where emissions exceed an emission limitation or standard;
2.2.2.2.
A situation where process or emissions control device parameter values
indicate that an emission limitation or standard has not been met; or
2.2.2.3.
A situation in which observations or data collected demonstrate
noncompliance with an emission limitation or standard or any work
practice or operating condition required by the permit.
2.2.2.4.
A situation in which an exceedance or an excursion, as defined in 40 CFR
Part 64 occurs.
[RAC 1-103(21)]
19
2.2.3. The permittee shall promptly report to the Tribe deviations from permit
requirements, (including emergencies), including the date, time, duration, and the
probable cause of such deviations, the quantity and pollutant type of excess
emissions resulting from the deviation, and any preventative, mitigation, or
corrective actions or measures taken. Prompt deviation reports shall be submitted
to the following email address: airquality@southernute-nsn.gov
2.2.4.
“Prompt” is defined as follows:
2.2.4.1.
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
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;
2.2.4.2.3.
For all other deviations from permit requirements, the report shall
be contained in the report submitted with the semi-annual
monitoring report.

The replacement engine or turbine is of the same make, model,
horsepower rating, and configured to operate in the same manner as the
engine or turbine being replaced.
2.3.1.3.
The replacement engine or turbine meets all applicable requirements
identified in this permit that apply to the existing engine or turbine being
replaced.
2.3.1.4.
All applicable requirements that apply to the replacement engine or
turbine are already included in the permit. Replacement of an existing
engine or turbine identified in this permit with a new, modified, or
reconstructed engine must utilize a Minor Permit Revision as specified in
RAC 2-111(3) or a Significant Permit Revision as specified in RAC 2111(4) to incorporate any new applicable requirements. The applicable

reports to the EPA via the Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting
Interface (CEDRI), which can be accessed through the EPA's Central Data
Exchange (CDX) (https://cdx.epa.gov/). 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 §60.4245(g)(1) and (2). 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 using CEDRI cannot later be claimed
32
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 the CBI omitted to the EPA
via the EPA's CDX as described earlier in this paragraph.

through the EPA's CDX (https://cdx.epa.gov/). You must use the
appropriate electronic report template on the CEDRI website for
this subpart (https://www.epa.gov/electronic-reporting-airemissions/cedri/). If the reporting form specific to this subpart is
not available on the CEDRI website at the time that the report is
due, you must submit the report to the Administrator at the
appropriate address listed in §60.4. Once the form has been
available in CEDRI for at least 90 calendar days, you must begin
submitting all subsequent reports via CEDRI. The date reporting
forms become available will be listed on the CEDRI website.
Unless the Administrator or delegated state agency or other
authority has approved a different schedule for submission of
reports, the reports must be submitted by the deadlines specified in
this subpart, regardless of the method in which the reports are
submitted. 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, submit a complete file using the appropriate electronic
report template on the CEDRI website, including information
claimed to be CBI, to the EPA following the procedures in
paragraphs §60.5420a(b)(11)(i) and (ii). Clearly mark the part or
52
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 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. Submit the
same file submitted to the CBI office with the CBI omitted must be
submitted to the EPA via the EPA's CDX as described earlier in
this paragraph §60.5420a(b)(11).
[40 CFR 60.5420a(b)(11)]
1.2.6.2.3.1.
The preferred method to receive CBI is for it to be
transmitted electronically using email attachments, File
Transfer Protocol, or other online file sharing services.
Electronic submissions must be transmitted directly to the
OAQPS CBI Office at the email address
oaqpscbi@epa.gov, and as described above, should include
clear CBI markings. Files should be flagged to the attention
of the Oil and Natural Gas Sector Lead. If assistance is
needed with submitting large electronic files that exceed
the file size limit for email attachments, and if you do not
have your own file sharing service, please email
oaqpscbi@epa.gov to request a file transfer link.
[40 CFR 60.5420a(b)(11)(i)]

2.2.4.11.6.
You must conduct a performance evaluation of each CPMS in
accordance with your site-specific monitoring plan.
[40 CFR 63.6625(b)(6)]
2.2.4.12.
You must minimize the engine's time spent at idle during startup and
minimize the engine's startup time to a period needed for appropriate and
safe loading of the engine, not to exceed 30 minutes, after which time the
emission standards applicable to all times other than startup in Table 2a to
this subpart apply.
[40 CFR 63.6625(h)]
2.2.4.13.
You must demonstrate initial compliance with each emission limitation,
operating limitation, and other requirement that applies to you according to
Table 5 of this subpart.
[40 CFR 63.6630(a)]
2.2.4.14.
During the initial performance test, you must establish each operating
limitation in Table 2b of this subpart that applies to you.
[40 CFR 63.6630(b)]
2.2.4.15.
You must submit the Notification of Compliance Status containing the
results of the initial compliance demonstration according to the
requirements in §63.6645.
[40 CFR 63.6630(c)]
2.2.5.
Continuous Compliance Requirements
2.2.5.1.
If you must comply with emission and operating limitations, you must
monitor and collect data according to this section.
[40 CFR 63.6635(a)]
2.2.5.2.
Except for monitor malfunctions, associated repairs, required performance
evaluations, and required quality assurance or control activities, you must
monitor continuously at all times that the stationary RICE is operating. A
monitoring malfunction is any sudden, infrequent, not reasonably
preventable failure of the monitoring to provide valid data. Monitoring
failures that are caused in part by poor maintenance or careless operation
are not malfunctions.
[40 CFR 63.6635(b)]
2.2.5.3.
You may not use data recorded during monitoring malfunctions, associated
repairs, and required quality assurance or control activities in data averages
and calculations used to report emission or operating levels. You must,
however, use all the valid data collected during all other periods.
[40 CFR 63.6635(c)]
71
2.2.5.4.
You must demonstrate continuous compliance with each requirement in
Tables 2a and 2b to this subpart that applies to you according to methods
specified in Table 6 to this subpart.

After you have demonstrated compliance for two consecutive tests, you may reduce the frequency of subsequent
performance tests to annually. If the results of any subsequent annual performance test indicate the stationary RICE
is not in compliance with the CO or formaldehyde emission limitation, or you deviate from any of your operating
limitations, you must resume semiannual performance tests.
2.2.5.5.
You must report each instance in which you did not meet each requirement
in Tables 2a and 2b to this subpart that applies. These instances are
deviations from the emission and operating limitations in this subpart.
These deviations must be reported according to the requirements in
§63.6650. If you change your catalyst, you must reestablish the values of
the operating parameters measured during the initial performance test.
When you reestablish the values of your operating parameters, you must
also conduct a performance test to demonstrate that you are meeting the
required emission limitation applicable to your stationary RICE.
[40 CFR 63.6640(b)]
2.2.5.5.1.
2.2.5.6.
You must conduct the performance test within 180 days of the
catalyst change.
[RAC 2-110(5)]
For new stationary RICE, deviations from the emission or operating
limitations that occur during the first 200 hours of operation from engine
startup (engine burn-in period) are not violations. Rebuilt stationary RICE
means a stationary RICE that has been rebuilt as that term is defined in 40
CFR 94.11(a).
[40 CFR 63.6640(d)]

2.2.5.7.
2.2.6.
You must also report each instance in which you did not meet the
requirements in Table 8 to this subpart that apply.
[40 CFR 63.6640(e)]
Notifications, Reports, and Records
2.2.6.1.
You must submit all of the notifications in §§63.7(b) and (c), 63.8(e), (f)(4),
63.9(b) through (e), and (g) and (h) that apply by the dates specified.
[40 CFR 63.6645(a)]
2.2.6.2.
You must submit a Notification of Intent to conduct a performance test at
least 60 days before the performance test is scheduled to begin as required
in §63.7(b)(1).
[40 CFR 63.6645(g)]
2.2.6.3.
If you are required to conduct a performance test or other initial compliance
demonstration as specified in Tables 4 and 5 to this subpart, you must
submit a Notification of Compliance Status according to §63.9(h)(2)(ii).
[40 CFR 63.6645(h)]
2.2.6.3.1.
For each initial compliance demonstration required in Table 5 to this
subpart that does not include a performance test, you must submit
the Notification of Compliance Status before the close of business
on the 30th day following the completion of the initial compliance
demonstration.
[40 CFR 63.6645(h)(1)]
2.2.6.3.2.
Beginning on February 26, 2025, for each initial compliance
demonstration required in table 5 to this subpart that includes a
performance test conducted according to the requirements in table 3
to this subpart, you must submit the Notification of Compliance
Status, including a summary of the performance test results, in PDF
