RE: Part 70 Operating Permit – Permit Renewal

Title V Permit # V-SUIT-0011-2025.00

Red Cedar Gathering Company

Bondad Compressor Station

Mr. Hinkley,

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 Bondad 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.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.

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.

Sincerely,

Mark Lamoreaux

Response to Comments Document

Operator: Red Cedar Gathering Company

Facility: Bondad Compressor Station

Permit Action: Title V Operating Permit Renewal

Comments From Red Cedar Gathering Company Received on Draft Title V Operating

Permit V-SUIT-0011-2025.00

I. 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 #1:

 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 #1:

 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 Bondad 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.]

Process Description:

The Bondad Compressor Station is a low to medium pressure compressor station capable of

processing roughly 35 MMscf/day. The station receives inlet gas from various well locations and

producer pipelines, with an inlet pressure of approximately 30-40 psi. There are three main inlets

to the station which correspond to lines coming in from different producers or different areas.

The gas from all inlets first is compressed through 7 compressors, driven by Waukesha 7042GL

engines to approximately 350-400 psi. It is then processed through two TEG dehydrators set in

parallel (i.e., the gas is split evenly between the two dehydration units or sent to either one

individually). 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 Red Cedar’s medium pressure pipeline.

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)

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)]

9

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

Air Act or under any of its applicable requirements, including any

provisions designed to limit a source’s potential to emit, are enforceable

by the Administrator and citizens under the Clean Air Act, except terms

and conditions the permit specifically designates as not being federally

HP manufactured on or after July 1, 2008, that do not meet the standards

applicable to non-emergency engines, the owner or operator must keep

records of the hours of operation of the engine that is recorded through the

non-resettable hour meter. The owner or operator must document how many

27

hours are spent for emergency operation, including what classified the

operation as emergency and how many hours are spent for non-emergency

operation.

[40 CFR 60.4245(b)]

1.1.5.3.

You must submit notifications or 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 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.

[40 CFR 60.4245(g)]

1.1.5.3.1.

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 in §60.4245(g), should include

clear CBI markings. ERT files should be flagged to the attention of

the Group Leader, Measurement Policy Group; all other files should

be flagged to the attention of the Stationary Spark Ignition Internal

Combustion Engine 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 60.4245(g)(1)]

1.1.5.3.2.

If you cannot transmit the file electronically, you may send CBI

information through the postal service to the following address:

28

OAQPS Document Control Officer (C404-02), OAQPS, U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency, 109 T.W. Alexander Drive, P.O.

Box 12055, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711. ERT

files should be sent to the attention of the Group Leader,

Measurement Policy Group, and all other files should be sent to the

attention of the Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion

Engine Sector Lead. The mailed CBI material should be double

wrapped and clearly marked. Any CBI markings should not show

through the outer envelope.

[40 CFR 60.4245(g)(2)]

1.1.5.4.

If you are required to electronically submit a report through CEDRI in the

EPA's CDX, you may assert a claim of EPA system outage for failure to

timely comply with that reporting requirement. To assert a claim of EPA

system outage, you must meet the requirements outlined in §60.4245(h)(1)

through (7).

The decision to accept the claim of EPA system outage and allow

an extension to the reporting deadline is solely within the discretion

of the Administrator.

[40 CFR 60.4245(h)(6)]

1.1.5.4.7.

In any circumstance, the report must be submitted electronically as

soon as possible after the outage is resolved.

[40 CFR 60.4245(h)(7)]

1.1.5.5.

If you are required to electronically submit a report through CEDRI in the

EPA's CDX, you may assert a claim of force majeure for failure to timely

comply with that reporting requirement. To assert a claim of force majeure,

you must meet the requirements outlined in §60.4245(i)(1) through (5).

[40 CFR 60.4245(i)]

You may submit a claim if a force majeure event is about to occur,

occurs, or has occurred or there are lingering effects from such an

event within the period of time beginning five business days prior to

the date the submission is due. For the purposes of this section, a

force majeure event is defined as an event that will be or has been

caused by circumstances beyond the control of the affected facility,

its contractors, or any entity controlled by the affected facility that

prevents you from complying with the requirement to submit a

report electronically within the time period prescribed. Examples of

such events are acts of nature (e.g., hurricanes, earthquakes, or

floods), acts of war or terrorism, or equipment failure or safety

hazard beyond the control of the affected facility (e.g., large scale

power outage).

[40 CFR 60.4245(i)(1)]

1.1.5.5.2.

You must submit notification to the Administrator in writing as soon

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-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 in determining actual average benzene emissions

annually, if multiple gas samples are collected during a calendar year.

[RAC 2-110(5)(b)]

[The permittee has elected to model emissions according to alternative test method

ALT-147. 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
