25 What if I need something bigger? More operational flexibility? NOVEMBER 28-29, 2017 HOUSTON, TEAS
26 Case by Case Permits New Source Review (NSR) or Case-by-Case Permit Oil & gas site that cannot meet Standard Permit Limits or those that need more flexibility. Permitting time is months Public notice is required Best Available Control Technology (BACT) Requirements Detailed dispersion modeling required, including MSS emissions Expect detailed permit conditions including recordkeeping Registration fee is variable based on capital cost (up to $75,000) Permit is good for 10 years
27 Even bigger? NOVEMBER 28-29, 2017 HOUSTON, TEAS

29 Case Studies NOVEMBER 28-29, 2017 HOUSTON, TEAS
30 Case Studies NOVEMBER 28-29, 2017 HOUSTON, TEAS
31 Case Study A An existing unauthorized production facility and associated saltwater disposal handling sour gas with VOC emissions <25 tpy are being permitted. The site is close to a structure that appears to have RV style trailers parked nearby. Sour gas must be registered, 352(l)? Proximity to RV trailers may prohibit 352(l) 352(a)-(k)? NOVEMBER 28-29, 2017 HOUSTON, TEAS
32 NOVEMBER 28-29, 2017 HOUSTON, TEAS
33 What is considered a receptor? (l) TCEQ Definitions: Homes, Schools, daycare, hospital, places of worship, parks, etc. Exclusions: Structures owned by mineral lease holders who have a financial stake in the O&G operation Hunting Camps Storage Sheds
34 Case Study A (cont.) An existing unauthorized production facility and associated saltwater disposal handling sour gas with VOC emissions < 25 tpy are being permitted. The site is close to a structure that appears to have RV style trailers parked nearby. Sour gas must be registered, 352(l)? Proximity to RV trailers 352(a)-(k)? Staff in area advised that the RV trailers were part of a hunting camp. Recommendation: TCEQ opinion did not consider the hunting camp a receptor since it was used seasonally/sporadically. PBR 352(l). NOVEMBER 28-29, 2017 HOUSTON, TEAS
35 Case Study B An existing tank battery handling sweet hydrocarbons (authorized under a non-registered 352(l) PBR) will soon have several sour wells tied in, but VOC emissions are expected to stay below 25 tpy. Operations tells the EHS group that more well additions may be happening in the future. The tank battery is near a home, but this wasn t a problem when the site was handling sweet fluids. Sour fluids, will require registration 352(a)-(k) Emission limits 352(a)-(k) NOVEMBER 28-29, 2017 HOUSTON, TEAS
36 352(a)-(k) v. NRSP NOVEMBER 28-29, 2017 HOUSTON, TEAS
37 Case Study B (cont.) An existing tank battery handling sweet hydrocarbons (authorized under a non-registered 352(l) PBR) will soon have several sour wells tied in, but VOC emissions are expected to stay below 25 tpy. Operations tells the EHS group that more well additions may be happening in the future. The tank battery is near a home, but this wasn t a problem when the site was handling sweet fluids. Sour fluids, will require registration 352(a)-(k) Emission limits 352(a)-(k) or NonRule Std. Permit Recommendation: While the site could be permitted under PBR 352(a)-(k), the BMP s, recordkeeping & monitoring requirements are so similar to those in the NonRule, that the NonRule is appealing for the higher emission limits (especially considering future expansion). NOVEMBER 28-29, 2017 HOUSTON, TEAS
38 Case Study C An existing gas plant is permitted under a NonRule Std. Permit with VOC totals ~60 tpy. The owner has plans to build a nearly identical second processing train at the same site. Along with the second train, operations requested that annual turnarounds be permitted for both trains. Proposed Sitewide VOC total ~120 tpy NonRule, or NSR Timeline NonRule, or NSR NOVEMBER 28-29, 2017 HOUSTON, TEAS
39 Case Study C (cont.) An existing gas plant is permitted under a NonRule Std. Permit with VOC totals ~60 tpy. The owner has plans to build a nearly identical second processing train at the same site. Along with the second train, operations requested that annual turnarounds be permitted for both trains. Proposed Sitewide VOC total ~120 tpy NonRule, or NSR Timeline NonRule, or NSR What if construction needs to begin in six months? NOVEMBER 28-29, 2017 HOUSTON, TEAS
40 Case Study C (cont.) An existing gas plant is permitted under a NonRule Std. Permit with VOC totals ~60 tpy. The owner has plans to build a nearly identical second processing train at the same site. Along with the second train, operations requested that annual turnarounds be permitted for both trains. Proposed Sitewide VOC total ~120 tpy NonRule, or NSR Timeline NonRule, or NSR What if construction needs to begin in six months? MSS hourly MSS limits in NonRule are likely too low NOVEMBER 28-29, 2017 HOUSTON, TEAS
41 NRSP: Emission Limits
42 Case Study C (cont.) An existing gas plant is permitted under a NonRule Std. Permit with VOC totals ~60 tpy. The owner has plans to build a nearly identical second processing train at the same site. Along with the second train, operations requested that annual turnarounds be permitted for both trains. Proposed Sitewide VOC total ~120 tpy NonRule, or NSR Timeline NonRule, or NSR What if construction needs to begin in six months? MSS hourly MSS limits in NonRule are likely too low Recommendation: Std. Pmt PBR for MSS (no PBR hourly emission limits). Some timing flexibility is lost without the ability to submit NonRule notifications. NOVEMBER 28-29, 2017 HOUSTON, TEAS

45 Standard Permit : Speciation TCEQ Memo 1/18/2006 O&G Standard Air Permit Guidelines Natural gas speciated to C3 through C5, and BTE Condensate speciation for components making up 1% or more of the liquid C10+ v. extended analysis Crude oil does not require speciation ( , 6 lb/hr & 10 tpy) H2S L-value of 10 instead of published value of 1.1 in
46 Standard Permit : LDAR Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) LDAR requirements for facilities < 500 ft from receptor None: Less than 10 tpy of uncontrolled fugitives LDAR requirements for facilities 500 ft from receptor None: Less than 25 tpy of uncontrolled fugitives H2S or SO2 emitting facilities < ¼ mile from receptor Daily auditory and visual checks
47 Standard Permit : E=L/K Calculating Emission Rates of same compound from different EPNs for Weighted Average Method Example E=L/K H2S L value of 10 mg/m3 K value based on distance to nearest offsite receptor EPN 1-10% of project lb/hr at 1000 ft: K=34 EPN 2-40% of project lb/hr at 2000 ft: K=14 EPN 3-50% of project lb/hr at 3000 ft: K=8 E=(10% x 10/34)+(40% x 10/14)+(50% x 10/8) = 0.94lb/hr
48 NRSP: Notifications Step 1: Prior to construction or implementation of changes for any project which meets this standard permit a notification shall be submitted through the e-permits system. *Emission limits are established immediately after notification even if an application has not yet been submitted.* Step 2: Within 90 days after start of operation or implemented changes (whichever occurs first), the facilities must be registered with a PI-1S Standard Permit Application.
49 NRSP: Turbines Compression turbines must meet Table 6 emission limits (25ppm NOx, 50ppm CO). Power turbines [operated < 876 hours/yr] can operate at Table 6 limits (25ppm NOx, 50ppm CO) if no reliable electric power is available. Power turbines [operated > 876 hours/yr OR those installed in locations with reliable electric service] may be authorized if they can meet emission limits set in the TCEQ EGU Standard Permit, which will likely require SCR catalyst.
