SECTION I. INTRODUCTION
Woodford Express, LLC (Woodford) has requested a construction permit for their Grady Gas
Plant (SIC 1321/NAICS 21112) which is located in Grady County. The facility has been issued a
major source construction permit (Permit No. 2015-0197-C, issued January 26, 2016) and two
Authorizations to Construct under the General Permit for Oil and Gas Facilities (Authorization
Nos. 2013-2243-NOI, issued December 16, 2013, and 2014-1849-NOI, issued September 15,
2014). Woodford requests a major source construction permit to expand the facility further. The
facility is a major source of NOx and CO criteria pollutants. After construction, the facility will
also be a major source of VOC emissions. Total facility emissions will be below the 250 TPY
threshold that would require Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) review. This permit
is Tier II and requires public and EPA review.
Legion Energy Services, Inc. was authorized to construct the facility under the General Permit
for Oil and Gas Facilities (GP-OGF) on December 16, 2013 (Authorization No. 2013-2243-
NOI). The facility was sold to Xplorer Midstream on March 12, 2014. Woodford Express, LLC
is a subsidiary of Xplorer Midstream. Woodford applied for a second authorization to construct
under the GP-OGF on September 15, 2014 (Authorization No. 2014-1849-NOI). Woodford
decided to expand the facility to a major source in the summer of 2014. This was subsequent to
the purchase of the existing facility, but prior to Woodford requesting Authorization No. 2014-
DRAFT/PROPOSED
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 2
1849-NOI. The second authorization to construct was submitted in error. Therefore the facility
was limited to construction activities authorized by 2013-2243-NOI. Woodford submitted an
application for a major source construction permit on February 3, 2015, to include amine
treatment at the facility. It was determined Woodford would submit the major source
construction permit including modeling and state Best Available Control Technology (BACT)
review. Permit 2015-0197-C was issued on January 26, 2016. Woodford has requested to
modify the construction permit to include additional emissions units. This permit will review the
emissions sources, review PSD applicability, and provide a BACT review that includes VOC
emissions sources.
Upon completion, the facility will consist of eleven (11) 1,380-hp Caterpillar G3516 ULB
natural gas-fired engine driven compressors with oxidation catalysts (OC), one (1) 1,341-hp
Caterpillar C32 ATAAC diesel-fired engine driven emergency generator, one (1) 27.2-hp
Generac 2.3L diesel-fired engine driven emergency generator, two (2) 315-hp Caterpillar C7.1
DITA diesel-fired engine driven emergency generators, uncontrolled compressor blowdown
emissions, three (3) 240-MMSCFD amine units, two (2) 20.6-MMBTUH thermal oxidizers, one
(1) 16.7-MMBTUH thermal oxidizer, one (1) 8.0-MMBTUH stabilizer reboiler, one (1) 9.5-
MMBTUH dehydrator regeneration heater, one (1) 30-MMBTUH hot oil heater, two (2) 53.1-
MMBTUH hot oil heaters, two (2) 20.2-MMBTUH dehydrator regenerator heaters, one (1) 40-
MMBTUH amine regenerator heater, eight (8) 1,000-bbl condensate storage tanks, two (2) 210-
bbl produced water storage tanks, two (2) 500-bbl produced water storage tanks, two (2) 10-
MMBTUH process flares, one (1) 6-MMBTUH loading combustor, condensate truck loading,
monitored fugitive emissions, non-monitored fugitive emissions, and various support operations.
SECTION II. PROCESS DESCRIPTION
The facility is a natural gas processing plant, responsible for processing gathered pipeline gas
with a nominal design throughput of 720-MMSCFD. Natural gas dehydration, condensate
storage, condensate truck loading, produced water storage, and produced water truck loading will
occur on-site as well.
The gas stream will enter the facility and will be sent to the three amine units for removal of
carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. The amine units’ still vents will be controlled by thermal
oxidizers for control of emissions. The amine units’ flash tanks will be vented to the fuel gas
system or to the process flares. Gas from the amine units will then be dehydrated in four
molecular sieve dehydration units. A portion of the gas stream will be compressed by four
1,380-hp Caterpillar G3516 ULB natural gas-fired engine driven compressors w/OC. The
balance will be compressed by electric motor driven compressors. The gas will then be
processed in one of four cryogenic natural gas liquids (NGL) recovery skids, which include
closed loop propane refrigeration systems, for the removal of NGL products. The NGL products
will be delivered to a pipeline. A portion of the residue gas from the NGL recovery units will
then be compressed by seven 1,380-hp Caterpillar G3516 ULB natural gas-fired engine driven
compressors equipped w/OC. The balance will be compressed by electric motor driven
compressors. Condensate will be separated from the inlet gas stream, stabilized in a closed
system prior to entering the storage tanks, and stored in eight 1,000-bbl condensate storage tanks
prior to being loaded onto trucks. Truck loading emissions will be controlled by a 6-MMBTUH
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 3
combustor. Produced water and fluid from the skid drains will be stored in two 210-bbl and
three 500-bbl produced water storage tanks.
In addition, the facility will include one 27.2-hp Generac 2.3L diesel-fired engine driven
emergency generator, one 1,341-hp Caterpillar C32 ATAAC diesel-fired engine driven
emergency generator, two 315-hp Caterpillar C7.1 DITA diesel-fired engine driven emergency
generators, and two process flares. The generators will each be limited to 500 hours of operation
per year.

SECTION IV. POTENTIAL EMISSIONS
Criteria Pollutants
Estimated emissions from the Caterpillar G3516 ULB natural gas-fired engines (E-01 through E-
11) are based on manufacturer’s data, AP-42 (7/00) Table 3.2-2, and manufacturer specified
control efficiencies for the oxidation catalysts. The manufacturer supplied emission factors at
full load are as follows: NOx = 0.50 g/hp-hr, CO = 2.85 g/hp-hr, VOCNMNEHC = 0.82 g/hp-hr, and
formaldehyde = 0.42 g/hp-hr. The controlled emission factors are as follows: NOx = 0.50 g/hp-
hr, CO = 0.45 g/hp-hr (84% control), VOCNMNEHC = 0.22 g/hp-hr (73% control), and
formaldehyde = 0.07 g/hp-hr (84% control). The AP-42 emission factors used to calculate
emissions were 0.0099871 lb/MMBtu for PM and 0.000588 lb/MMBtu for SO2. Emissions from
the Caterpillar G3516 ULB engines are based on the maximum rated horsepower, a brake
specific fuel consumption of 7,977 Btu/hp-hr, and 8,760 hours of operation per year.
Estimated emissions from the 1,341-hp Caterpillar C32 ATAAC diesel-fired engine driven
emergency generator (GEN1) are based on manufacturer’s data and AP-42 (10/96) Table 3.4-3.
Emissions from the Caterpillar C32 ATAAC emergency generator engine are based on the
maximum rated horsepower, a brake specific fuel consumption of 6,903 Btu/hp-hr, and 500
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 6
hours of operation per year for each engine. Formaldehyde emissions were estimated to be 0.003
TPY.
Estimated emissions from the 27.2-hp Generac 2.3L diesel-fired engine driven emergency
generator (GEN2) are based on manufacturer’s data and AP-42 (7/00) Table 3.3-2. Emissions
from the Generac 2.3L engine are based on the maximum rated horsepower, a brake specific fuel
consumption of 9,247 Btu/hp-hr, and 500 hours of operation per year. Formaldehyde emissions
were estimated to be 0.0001 TPY.
Estimated emissions from the two (2) 315-hp Caterpillar C7.1 DITA diesel-fired engine driven
emergency generators (GEN3 and GEN4) are based on manufacturer’s data and AP-42 (7/00)
Table 3.3-2. Emissions from the Caterpillar C7.1 DITA engines are based on the maximum
rated horsepower, a brake specific fuel consumption of 6,424 Btu/hp-hr, and 500 hours of
operation per year. Formaldehyde emissions were estimated to be 0.001 TPY.

Emissions from the amine units (A-01, A-02, and A-03) are calculated using the ProMax process
simulation software, a natural gas feed rate of 240-MMSCFD each unit, a maximum amine
circulation rate of 350-GPM at each unit, and an extended gas analysis. The amine unit still vent
vapors are captured with at least 97% efficiency and routed to a thermal oxidizer with a control
efficiency of 98% or greater. The amine units are equipped with flash tanks. Flash tank vapors
are routed to the amine unit reboiler fuel system or the process flare with a control efficiency of
98%.
NOx, CO, and PM emissions from the thermal oxidizers TO-01, TO-02, and TO-03 at the
facility were calculated using AP-42 (7/98) factors for commercial boilers found in Table 1.4-1
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 7
through Table 1.4-3, the burner ratings of 20.6-MMBTUH, 16.7-MMBTUH, and 20.6-
MMBTUH, respectively, and 8,760 hours of operation per year. The still vent vapors are routed
to a thermal oxidizer or flare, resulting in 97% capture efficiency from the amine unit still vents
and 98% control efficiency of the captured vapors. Additionally, potential SO2 emissions
assume that 98% of the potential H2S emissions from the amine unit still vents are oxidized into
SO2.
Emissions from the heaters at the facility (HEAT1 through HEAT8) were calculated using AP-
42 (7/98) factors for commercial boilers found in Table 1.4-1 through Table 1.4-3. Emissions
were calculated based on each unit’s firing rate as listed in Section III. Equipment table EUG-04:
Additional Heaters and continuous operation.
Working and breathing VOC emissions from the storage tanks at the facility were calculated
using EPA’s TANKS 4.0 computer program, a facility wide condensate throughput of 76,650,000-
gal/year, and a facility wide produced water throughput of 2,299,500-gal/year. Produced water
emissions were estimated equal to 1% of the emissions estimated for an equal volume of
condensate. Flashing from the liquids at the facility occur upstream of the facility at well sites,
prior to entering the storage tanks; therefore, no flashing losses were calculated for the storage
tanks at the facility.
VOC emissions from the roof landings of the internal floating roof (IFR) tanks were calculated
using AP-42 (11/06), Section 7.1 with the assumption of 8 total events per year, a tank diameter
of 15 ft, and a roof leg setting of 4.5 ft.
Standing idle losses for each roof landing event were calculated based on Equation 2-20 as
follows:
𝐿𝐶 = 0.042𝐶𝑆𝑊𝑙(𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎)
Where:
LC = clingage loss from the drain-dry tank, lb,
0.042 = conversion factor, gal/bbl,
CS = clingage factor, 0.006 bbl/1,000 ft2,
Wl = density of the liquid, 7.1 lb/gal, and
Area = area of the tank bottom, ft2.
Filling losses were calculated for each roof landing event based on Equation 2-26, as follows:
𝐿𝐹𝐿 = (𝑃𝑉𝑉𝑅𝑇
)𝑀𝑉𝑆
Where:
LFL = filling loss during roof landing, lb,
P = true vapor pressure of the liquid within the tank, 6.25 psia,
VV = volume of the vapor space, ft3,
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 8
R = ideal gas constant, 10.731 psia-ft3/(lb-mol-°R),
T = average temperature of the vapor and liquid below the floating roof, 521.6 R,
Mv = stock vapor molecular weight, 66 lb/lb-mol,
S = filling saturation factor, dimension less (0.15 for a drain-dry tank).
NOx and CO emissions from the process flares (FLARE1 and FLARE2) were based on AP-42
(1/95) Table 13.5-1 for industrial flares and the estimated heating rate of vapors directed to the
flare. VOC emissions from FLARE1 and FLARE2 were estimated based on the volume of
VOCs vented to each flare, a material balance, and assuming 98% destruction of VOCs in each
flare. The still vents from A-02 and A-03 can be vented to the flares when the thermal oxidizers
are inoperable. Flared emissions from A-02 and A-03 are equal to the emissions estimated for
the thermal oxidizers. Emissions from flaring potential emissions from A-02 and A-03 are
accounted for at emissions points TO-02 and TO-03. H2S and SO2 emissions from the flares
were estimated assuming a 4-ppm maximum H2S concentration in the gas.
Emissions from condensate loading into tank trucks are estimated based on AP-42 (1/95),
Section 5.2 Equation 1, and the following parameters. Tank truck loading is controlled by a
loading combustor (COMB1) with an assumed capture efficiency of 70% and 98% control
efficiency for the VOC emissions from the combustor. NOx and CO emissions from the loading
combustor (COMB1) were based on AP-42 (11/95) Table 13.5-1 for industrial flares, a 6-
MMBTUH maximum heat capacity, and 8,760 hours of operation per year.

SECTION V. STATE BACT REVIEW
Since emissions of NOX, CO, and VOC exceed 100 TPY for the facility, a state BACT review is
required by OAC 252:100-8-5(d). The permit No. 2015-0197-C addressed BACT analysis for
NOx and CO. Since the modification in this permit, 2015-0197-C (M-1), requests VOC
emissions from the facility greater than 100 TPY, an updated BACT analysis has been completed
which includes VOC. The applicant submitted the following BACT analyses.
Compressor Engines
NOx and CO
A review of the RBLC database and recently issued ODEQ PSD permit applications indicates
that NOx and CO BACT for ultra lean-burn natural gas-fired compressor engines are as follows:
NOX is 0.50 g/hp-hr and CO is between 0.36 and 0.55 g/hp-hr. This requires add-on catalytic
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 12
converters for rich-burn engines or the use of low-NOX lean-burn engines with oxidation
catalysts or non-selective catalytic reduction controls.
The eleven (11) Caterpillar G3516 ULB natural gas-fired compressor engines (E-01 through E-
11), rated at 1,380 hp each, are lean-burn engines and are each equipped with oxidation catalysts
in order to meet these emission limitations. Additionally, the engines are subject to the emission
limitations of 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart JJJJ and 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart ZZZZ. The natural gas-
fired engines proposed by Woodford have NOx emissions equal to or less than 0.50 g/Hp-hr and
CO emissions less than 0.45 g/Hp-hr. Therefore, BACT is selected for the natural gas-fired
compressor engines as lean burn engines at an emission rate of 0.50 g/hp-hr for NOx and
oxidation catalysts at an emission rate of 0.45 g/hp-hr for CO.
VOC
A review of the Reasonable Available Control Technology (RACT) /BACT/ Lowest Achievable
Emission Rate (LAER) Clearinghouse (RBLC) database and recently issued ODEQ PSD permit
applications indicates that BACT for VOC is 0.7 g/hp-hr. This requires add-on catalytic
converters for rich-burn engines or the use of low-NOx lean-burn engines with oxidation
catalysts.
The natural gas-fired engines proposed by Woodford have VOC emissions less than 0.7 g/hp-hr.
The eleven (11) Caterpillar G3516 ULB natural gas-fired compressor engines (E-01 through E-

emissions limitations of 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart JJJJ and 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart ZZZZ.
Therefore, BACT is selected as the use of oxidation catalysts on the natural gas-fired compressor
engines resulting in 0.22 g/hp-hr VOC.

The following methodology for performing a top-down BACT analysis has been developed from
the US EPA’s 1990 Draft New Source Review Workshop Manual - BACT Guidance. The
analysis utilizes five key steps to identify the most suited BACT option for the project.
Step 1. Identify Available Control Technologies
Identification of possible BACT options were derived from EPA and state BACT
clearinghouses, recently issued regulations and permit decisions from similar projects. The
following activities were identified as BACT options to control emissions from the emergency
generators. Woodford is proposing to install two additional generators that are NSPS Subpart
IIII compliant, which meet EPA Tier III off-road standards. The EPA has mandated the use of
Tier IV engines for continuous power generation, but acknowledges that an “emergency use”
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 13
engine has significantly less potential emissions. Therefore, the control options studied in this
analysis are the proposed Tier III generator compared to a Tier IV generator. Two control
options are shown in the following table:
Option Description
1. NSPS III (Tier III) Compliant Engine
2. EPA Tier IV Engine
NSPS IIII Complaint Engine – This level of control has been accepted as the standard in
New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) Subpart IIII-Standards of Performance for
Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines.
EPA Tier IV Compliant Engine – EPA require Tier IV engines for continuous power
generation and peak shaving.
Step 2. Eliminate Technically Infeasible Options At this step, an evaluation of the technical feasibility of each control alternative is made. Each
alternative that is determined to be technically infeasible will be excluded from further BACT
evaluation and eliminated as a potential option.
Manufacturers do not offer smaller Tier IV compliant emergency engines. Therefore, purchasing
a Tier IV emergency generator of this size is not a technically feasible option. BACT for the
emergency generator is selected as NSPS IIII (Tier III) engines with limits no greater than those
listed below:
Engine Name Engine Size NOx + NMHC (TPY) CO (TPY)
GEN1 HP>750 4.8 2.6
GEN2 25HP50 5.6 4.1
GEN3 175HP 3.0 2.6
GEN4 175HP 3.0 2.6
Amine Unit (VOC)
A review of the RBLC database indicates that the typical add-on controls for amine units are
flares or thermal oxidizers. Woodford proposes to control the still vents from the amine units
with thermal oxidizers or flares with 97% capture / 98% destruction efficiencies for VOCs. The
flash tanks from the amine units are routed to the fuel system with 100% capture and combustion
as a fuel source or to the flares with 97% capture / 98% destruction efficiencies. BACT is
selected as thermal oxidizers or flares with 97% capture / 98% destruction efficiencies for VOCs
resulting in 3.11 TPY VOCs per unit.
Heaters
A review of the RBLC database and recently issued ODEQ PSD permit applications indicates
that BACT for small heaters less than or equal to 100 MMBtu/hr has listed no add-on controls
are required for NOx, CO and VOC. These pollutants are controlled via good combustion
practices and burning natural gas as fuel. Therefore, BACT is good combustion practices and
burning natural gas as fuel with the emissions factors as summarized following, which are taken
from AP-42 (7/98), Section 1.4 for heaters.
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 14
Summary of Selected BACT for Heaters
Pollutant Control Technology Emission Limits
NOx Good Combustion Practices 100 lb/MMSCF
CO Good Combustion Practices 84 lb/MMSCF
VOC Good Combustion Practices 5.5 lb/MMSCF
Condensate Tanks (VOC)
A review of the RBLC and recently issued ODEQ PSD permit applications indicate that typical
add-on controls for condensate tanks of 1,000 bbl or less in size are fixed roof tanks routing the
emissions to either a combustion device or vapor recovery unit (VRU). The condensate stored at
the Facility will be stabilized in a closed system prior to entering the storage tanks. Therefore,
the flashing losses from the tanks are negligible. The only source of VOC emissions from the
condensate storage tanks are breathing and working losses, which result in emissions of
approximately 0.4 TPY per storage tank. Additionally, the condensate storage tanks are equipped
with internal floating roofs; therefore, additional controls are not warranted. BACT is selected as
the use of internal floating roof tanks for the condensate storage tanks.
VOC
The following methodology for performing a top-down BACT analysis has been developed from
the US EPA’s 1990 Draft New Source Review Workshop Manual - BACT Guidance. The
analysis utilizes five key steps to identify the most suited BACT option for the project.
Step 1. Identify Available Control Technologies
Identification of possible BACT options were derived from EPA and state BACT
clearinghouses, recently issued regulations and permit decisions from similar projects. The
following activities were identified as BACT options to control emissions from the condensate
storage tanks. Woodford is proposing to install four additional condensate storage tanks with
internal floating roof (IFR).

Routing Vapor Space to a Control Device Evaporative losses from tanks can be routed to a variety of control devices with varying destruction
efficiencies. Combustion type controls, including flares, combustors, and incinerators, destroy VOCs
with auxiliary fuel injection. Destruction efficiencies range from 98-99.9%, depending on the
material.
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 15
Roof Selection Three basic roof types are considered: external floating roof, internal floating roof, and fixed roof.
Fixed roof tanks – These tanks consist of a cylindrical steel shell with a permanently fixed roof that
can be either cone-shaped, dome-shaped, or flat. Evaporative losses occur in these tanks through
vapor expansion and contraction and from working losses as filling vapors are expelled from the
tank.
External floating roof tanks (EFRs) – These tanks consist of an open cylindrical steel shell with a
roof, or deck, which floats on the surface of the stored liquid. The roof height changes with the liquid
level of the material stored within the tank, effectively minimizing vapor space. A rim seal system is
attached to the deck’s perimeter and makes contact with the tank wall. These two systems combine to
reduce VOC emissions from the stored material. Losses from these tanks originate from exposed
liquid at the rim seal system and deck fittings. In addition to the basic tank configuration, there are
several add-on options to further reduce emissions and are listed as follows:
Cone Roof Add-on with Vapor Space Routed to a Control Device. This option would involve
installing a fixed cone roof over the top of each tank at the plant, thereby creating internal
floating roof tanks from the previous EFR tank. The coned exterior roofs would be supported
by columns that penetrate through the floating roof inside each tank. The fixed coned roof
design acts to block the wind flow across the top of each tank and be part of a system to
collect emissions coming out the top of the floating roof of each tank. A dedicated vapor
collection system would be installed to route emissions from each tank to a dedicated control
device as listed in the previous control technology category (Routing Vapor Space to a
Control Device).
Cone Roof Add-on Only – This option involves installing a fixed coned roof as in the
previous option except without installation of a control device as discussed in the previous
control technology category and associated collection piping. The primary function of the
fixed external roof in this alternative would be to block the wind and decrease standing and
withdrawal emissions from each tank. This option is estimated to provide a control efficiency
of up to 44%.
Domed External Floating Roof – This option involves constructing a self-supporting
geodesic dome over the existing external floating roof on each tank at the terminal. Similar to
the cone roof add-on option, geodesic domes are utilized to minimize the wind over the top
of the external floating roof. The domed tanks are generally vented with circulation vents at
the top of each roof. Emissions from each domed EFR tank would not be piped to a control
device. Since the geodesic domes would be self-supporting, the installation of column
supports penetrating through the floating roof would not be necessary and gaps in the floating
roof would be minimized. This design is still referred to as an external floating roof because
it utilizes the existing heavier-duty, double-sealed fully intact EFR, though for emission
estimation purposes it is treated as an IFR with no support columns. This option is estimated
to provide a control efficiency of up to 73%.
Internal floating roof tanks (IFRs) – These tanks are simply EFRs with an additional, fixed roof
above the floating roof. The fixed roof serves as a vapor barrier and blocks air movement.
Additionally, the internal floating roof tank deck is lighter than those used in external roof tanks.
Losses from these tanks are the same as EFRs, with the exception that emissions induced by air
movement are reduced. Woodford has selected IFRs over fixed roof tanks.
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 16
Step 2. Eliminate Technically Infeasible Options All control options are technically feasible when considered individually. These options are further
considered in the following steps of the top-down BACT analysis.
Step 3: Rank Remaining Control Options by Control Effectiveness
Floating roof tanks reduce vapor space emissions more effectively than fixed roof tanks because the
deck rests atop the liquid surface and reduces the vapor space within the tank.
Add-on control options add additional emission control beyond the basic required components of
each tank.
Routing Vapor Space to a Control Device is the most effective option (50-99.9%), submerged fill,
and then good operating and maintenance practices.
In addition to control effectiveness and emissions considerations, each BACT option must also be
evaluated for economic impacts, environmental, and energy impacts. These considerations are further
discussed in Step 4.
Step 4: Evaluate and Eliminate Control Technologies Based on Energy, Environmental, and
Economic Impacts
Since NSPS Subpart Kb requires an EFR or IFR, Woodford has assumed this control option to be the
baseline requirement and has selected IFR tanks which provide the same level of control as an EFR.
Under this assumption, submerged fill would be meaningless since there will be no vapor space for
splash loading to occur.
The economic consideration for each remaining BACT option is based on a cost analysis, in part,
total capital costs, direct costs, and total derived annualized cost. The cost analysis was based on
industry cost estimates for combustion devices constructed and EPA’s Cost Control Manual. Note,
sizing of the thermal oxidizer depends on the hourly rate of controlled VOC, and annual operating
costs (utilities, pilot fuel, etc.) vary based on mode of operation (e.g. continuously for normal
operations and intermittently for landings and cleanings).

From the table above, the per ton reduced is approximately $154,792. This value represents a
significant economic impact. Due to the extremely high and unreasonable economic impact for this
BACT option, it is an inappropriate BACT alternative beyond the baseline NSPS Subpart Kb
standards for new tanks.
Environmental and energy impacts from the IFR & vapor collection option are as follows: increase in
NOx emissions, increase in CO emissions, noise, and fuel consumption.
Step 5: Select BACT and Document the Selection as BACT
Woodford has proposed to implement the following design elements and work practices:
• Internal floating roof compliant with NSPS Subpart Kb standards,
• Primary mechanical shoe seal and secondary seal, and
• Good operation and maintenance practices.
As mentioned previously, the resulting BACT standard is an emission limit unless technological or
economic limitations of the measurement methodology would make the imposition of an emissions
standard infeasible, in which case a work practice or operating standard can be imposed. For the
proposed storage tanks, Woodford proposes a VOC BACT emission limit of 3.29 tons of VOC per
year based on a 12-month rolling average basis, internal floating roof compliant with NSPS Subpart
Kb standards, primary mechanical shoe seal and secondary seal, and good operation and maintenance
practices.
DEQ evaluated the BACT proposal from Woodford and agrees that their proposal is acceptable as
state level BACT.
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 18
Produced Water Tanks (VOC)
A review of the RBLC and recently issued ODEQ PSD permit applications indicate that typical
add-on controls for produced water storage tanks are routing the emissions to either a
combustion device or vapor recovery unit (VRU). The produced water storage tank emission
calculations 1% oil in the water. The total emissions from these tanks is 0.12 TPY. Due to the
location of the tanks, the low VOC emissions and the distance to the flare, the addition of
blowers to route the vapors to the flare is not technically feasible. However, a cost to add a
combustion device is listed below:

From the table above, the per ton reduced is approximately $3,487,537. This value represents a
significant economic impact. Due to the extremely high and unreasonable economic impact for this
BACT option, it is an inappropriate BACT alternative beyond the baseline of fixed roof tank for new
tanks.
Environmental and energy impacts from the vapor collection option are as follows: increase in NOx
emissions, increase in CO emissions, noise, and fuel consumption.
Select BACT and Document the Selection as BACT
Woodford has proposed to implement the following design elements and work practices:
• Fixed roof tank,
• Good operation and maintenance practices.
As mentioned previously, the resulting BACT standard is an emission limit unless technological or
economic limitations of the measurement methodology would make the imposition of an emissions
standard infeasible, in which case a work practice or operating standard can be imposed. For the
proposed storage tanks, Woodford proposes a VOC BACT emission limit of 0.12 tons of VOC per
year based on a 12-month rolling average basis, a fixed roof tank, and good operation and
maintenance practices.
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 19
DEQ evaluated the BACT proposal from Woodford and agrees that their proposal is acceptable
as state level BACT.
Roof Landing Losses (VOC)
Step 1. Identify Available Control Technologies When it comes to controlling VOC emissions during roof landings, degassing, and refilling the
following were identified:
1. Routing Vapor Space to a Control Device
a. Thermal incinerator
b. Flare
c. Vapor Combustor
d. Carbon Adsorption
2. Mobile Degassing
a. Thermal Oxidizer
b. Carbon Adsorption
3. Roof landings conducted per NSPS Subpart Kb
4. Tanks with Dry Drain design
5. Work practice standards to limit emissions generated
Step 2. Eliminate Technically Infeasible Options Woodford proposes to utilize internal floating roof tanks designed per NSPS Subpart Kb and
with a dry drain design. In addition, roof landings, degassing, and refilling emissions are
expected to occur no more than 2 times per year per tank and the emissions are estimated at 0.04
TPY, total for all tanks. BACT is selected as Roof landings conducted per NSPS Subpart Kb
with 0.04 TPY VOC emissions. Woodford proposes that cost analysis of the other available
control technologies is not warranted due to the low emission levels resulting from roof landings.
DEQ evaluated the BACT proposal from Woodford and agrees that their proposal is acceptable
as state level BACT.
Condensate Truck Loading
A review of the RBLC database indicates that add-on controls for condensate truck loading are
typically a flare or vapor balancing. The capture efficiency for a flare is 70% for condensate
truck loading with a destruction efficiency of 98%. This application proposes the use of a flare to
control loading. BACT is selected as vapor capture with 70% capture efficiency and 98%
destruction at the flare with 51.3 TPY VOC emissions based on a throughput of 76,650,000
gallons/year.
Fugitives
A review of the RBLC and recently issued ODEQ PSD permit applications indicate that LDAR
programs, using air-driven pneumatic controllers, and implementing audio-visual-olfactory
(AVO) monitoring can be used to limit fugitive VOC emissions. The Facility will be subject to
the limitations and LDAR monitoring requirements of 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOOO. BACT is
LDAR monitoring per 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOOO, the use of air-driven pneumatic
controllers, and implementation of an AVO monitoring program as BACT for fugitive VOC
emissions.
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 20
Blow Downs
The facility will have blowdowns as part of the facility startup and shutdown procedures.
Blowdowns on compressor units will occur on an “as needed” basis for maintenance and
operational activities. When blowdowns are required, on-skid piping and valves will be
manipulated to allow the entire unit to be equalized with the lowest available process pressure
thereby reducing the total mass of the blowdown.
The following methodology for performing a top-down BACT analysis has been developed from
the US EPA’s 1990 Draft New Source Review Workshop Manual - BACT Guidance. The
analysis utilizes five key steps to identify the most suited BACT option for the project.
Step 1. Identify Available Control Technologies
Identification of possible BACT options were derived from EPA and state BACT
clearinghouses, recently issued regulations and permit decisions from similar projects. The
following activities were identified as BACT options to control emissions from the blowdowns
from the engines associated with Trains 1 & 2.
Control Technologies
Routing blowdowns to a Control Device
Good Operating and Maintenance Practices
Routing blowdowns to a Control Device Blowdowns may be routed to a flare or vented to atmosphere with good operating and maintenance
practices. Destruction efficiencies for a flare range from 98-99.9%, depending on the material.
Step 2. Eliminate Technically Infeasible Options All control options are technically feasible when considered individually. These options are further
considered in the following steps of the top-down BACT analysis.
Step 3: Rank Remaining Control Options by Control Effectiveness
Routing blowdowns to a Control Device is the most effective option (98-99.9%), and then good
operating and maintenance practices.
In addition to control effectiveness and emissions considerations, each BACT option must also be
evaluated for economic impacts, environmental, and energy impacts. These considerations are further
discussed in Step 4.
Step 4: Evaluate and Eliminate Control Technologies Based on Energy, Environmental, and
Economic Impacts
The economic consideration for each remaining BACT option is based on a cost analysis, in part,
total capital costs, direct costs, and total derived annualized cost. The cost analysis was based on
industry cost estimates for combustion devices constructed and EPA’s Cost Control Manual. Note,
sizing of the flare depends on the hourly rate of controlled VOC, and annual operating costs (utilities,
pilot fuel, etc.) vary based on mode of operation (e.g. continuously for normal operations and
intermittently for landings and cleanings).

Train 1 and Train 2 Engine Blowdowns (VOC)
A review of the RBLC and recently issued ODEQ PSD permit applications indicate that typical
add-on controls for blowdown events are routing the emissions to a combustion device or good
operating practices. The total emissions from Train 1 and Train 2 natural gas-fired engine
blowdowns is 4.54 TPY. Due to the location of the engines, the low VOC emissions and the
distance to the flare, the addition of blowers to route the vapors to the flare is not technically
feasible. However, a cost to add a combustion device is listed below:

From the table above, the cost per ton reduced is approximately $113,176. This value represents a
significant economic impact. Due to the extremely high and unreasonable economic impact for this
BACT option, it is an inappropriate BACT alternative beyond the baseline for Train 1 and Train 2
engine blowdowns.
Environmental and energy impacts from the vapor collection option are as follows: increase in NOx
emissions, increase in CO emissions, noise, and fuel consumption.
Select BACT and Document the Selection as BACT
Woodford has proposed to implement the following design elements and work practices:
• Good operation and maintenance practices.
As mentioned previously, the resulting BACT standard is an emission limit unless technological or
economic limitations of the measurement methodology would make the imposition of an emissions
standard infeasible, in which case a work practice or operating standard can be imposed. For the
proposed engine blowdowns, Woodford proposes a VOC BACT emission limit of 4.54 tons of VOC
per year based on a 12-month rolling average basis and good operation and maintenance practices.
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 22
DEQ evaluated the BACT proposal from Woodford and agrees that their proposal is acceptable as
state level BACT.

SECTION VII. NAAQS COMPLIANCE
Introduction
Woodford is proposing to construct a 720-MMSCFD gas processing plant located approximately
six miles south and six miles west of Lindsay, Oklahoma in Grady County. The Facility will
have potential emissions of NOx, CO, and VOCs that are greater than 100 TPY. Therefore, per
the Major Source Construction Permit Advice document, Woodford is required to perform air
dispersion modeling for the Facility. 40 CFR Part 51 Appendix W, Guideline on Air Quality
Models (GAQM) establishes the models that can be used for air quality modeling analysis to
demonstrate compliance with federal clean air standards, such as NAAQS.
Ozone (O3) Modeling
EPA conducted photochemical modeling studies and evaluated hypothetical single-source
impacts on downwind O3 concentrations in Guidance on the Development of Modeled Emission
Rates for Precursors (MERPs) as a Tier 1 Demonstration Tool for Ozone and PM2.5 under the
PSD Permitting Program (EPA-454/R-16-006, December 2016 - Draft). This guidance can be
used to estimate single source impacts by region and source type. For this analysis, since NOX
and VOC are both precursors for O3, the impacts from emissions of NOX and VOC were
considered. Using the guidance document, the estimated impact from 500 TPY of NOX in
Canadian County Oklahoma for a low level source is 0.57 ppb. The estimated impact from 500
TPY of VOC in Canadian County Oklahoma for a low level source is 0.07 ppb. This facility will
emit 208 TPY of NOX and 144 TPY of VOC. Therefore, the predicted impact of this facility is
approximately 0.3 ppb. Listed below are the closest monitoring sites with the most recent
monitoring data.

Model Selection
The most recent version of the EPA’s American Meteorological Society/Environmental
Protection Agency Regulatory Model (AERMOD), (version 16216r) was used. The AERMOD
software was purchased from ORIS. The ORIS version of the AERMOD algorithm that will be
used is known as “BEEST for Windows, Version 11.08” and has been approved by the ODEQ
for regulatory modeling applications.
The AERMOD model, a steady-state plume dispersion model used for assessment of pollutant
concentrations from a variety of sources, has become the primary model used for conducting
refined modeling analyses. AERMOD incorporates air dispersion based on planetary boundary
layer turbulence structure and scaling concepts, including treatment of both surface and elevated
sources, and both simple and complex terrain.
Terrain
Based on ODEQ guidance, modeling with elevated terrain was used for this analysis. AERMAP,
a terrain preprocessor that incorporates complex terrain using USGS Digital Elevation Data was
used to determine stack, building, and receptor elevations/hill heights. The latest versions of the
National Elevation Dataset (NED) for the quadrangles surrounding the Facility were downloaded
from the Seamless Service. The elevations imported into the model are the highest elevation
based on the USGS 1/3 arc-second (approximately 10 meters) resolution for the area surrounding
the facility. The elevations of the sources and structures are approximately 375 meters (1,230
feet) above mean sea level (msl) based upon the NED data. The elevations for the receptors
ranged from approximately 293 meters (961 feet) to 400 meters (1,312 feet) above msl.
Stack GEP Analysis
The emissions from the sources within the Facility have the potential to be affected by building
downwash. All emission point sources that are less than GEP stack height, and are within 5L of
a building or nearby structure, where "L" is the lesser of the nearby building's height or its
maximum projected width, will be affected by downwash from nearby structures or buildings.
However, the buildings at the Facility are greater than 5L and therefore, building downwash
affects will not be accounted for in the modeling analysis.
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 25
Arm Modeling Options
AERMOD contains several default and non-default regulatory options for Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier
3 modeling methodologies. One of these options is Ambient Ratio Method (ARM) which
accounts for 75% conversion of NOX to NO2. Due to the unique challenges presented by new 1-
hr NO2 standard, Woodford utilized the Tier 2 ARM to demonstrate compliance with the 1-hr
NO2 standard.
Meteorological Data
The ODEQ provided actual surface meteorological data from the Ketchum Ranch Station
collected by the Oklahoma Mesonet Network for the years 2011 through 2015 for this proposed
analysis. The data set combines surface meteorological data (e.g., wind speed and direction,
temperature) from the Ketchum Ranch Station. The air surface characteristics are included in the
surface data. Upper air data for the same time period was from the Norman, Oklahoma station.
Data were processed using the AERMET module of the AERMOD modeling system by ODEQ.
Air Quality Monitoring Data
Per the Tyler Fox memorandum dated June 2011, “The monitored NO2 design value, i.e., the
98th-percentile of the annual distribution of daily maximum 1-hour values averaged across the
most recent three years of monitored data, should be used irrespective of the meteorological
data period used in the dispersion modeling.” The Facility is located in Grady County and there
are no NO2 monitors located in Grady County. Therefore, Woodford proposed a regional
monitor be used as a representative background concentration. Per ODEQ guidance, Woodford
is utilizing the rural Sequoyah, OK monitor (ID# 40-135-9021) for NO2 background data. The
annual background value of 9.51 g/m3 was based on the annual mean from 2016. The hourly
background monitoring data was incorporated in the model run. The hourly background NO2
monitoring data file contains monitored concentrations for each hour during the years modeled.
The hourly background NO2 monitoring data was provided by ODEQ.
There are no CO monitors located in Grady County, therefore, Woodford proposed a regional
monitor be used as a representative background concentration. Woodford is utilizing the
Oklahoma City, OK monitor (ID# 40-109-1037) for CO background data. The hourly
background value of 1,488.50 g/m3 was based on the second highest high from 2016. The 8-
hour background value of 1,030.50 g/m3 was based on the second highest high from 2016.
There are no SO2 monitors located in Grady County, therefore, Woodford proposed a regional
monitor be used as a representative background concentration. Woodford is utilizing the
Oklahoma City, OK monitor (ID# 40-109-1037) for SO2 background data. The hourly
background value of 7.86 g/m3 was based on a three year average of the fourth highest high
(99th percentile) for 2014, 2015, and 2016. The 3-hour background value is based on the second
highest high for the most recent year, however, the 3-hour SO2 background value is no longer
available in monitoring data. Therefore, Woodford did not add a background concentration for
3-hour SO2.
Selection of Dispersion Coefficient Option
The AERMOD model is executed using dispersion coefficients that are based upon the
predominant land use. An Auer Land Use Analysis, which classifies all regions within three
kilometers of the Facility using published rural and urban land use classifications, is used to
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 26
quantify the percentages of the region having urban and rural land usage and thereby determine
whether the rural or urban dispersion coefficient mode is appropriate for the modeling analysis.
Based upon the land classification within three kilometers, rural land use classification is
appropriate for the modeling analysis.
Receptor Grid
Fenceline Receptor Grid - The AERMOD model will incorporate discrete receptors spaced no
more than 100 meters apart around the fenceline of the Facility.
Discrete Receptor Grids - Five different rectangular grids made up of nested discrete receptors
will be used in the AERMOD modeling analysis. ODEQ has developed a generalized acceptable
grid spacing of 100 m out to 1 km, 250 m out to 2.5 km, 500 m out to 5 km, 750 m out to 7.5 km,
and 1 km out to 10 km from the Facility fenceline.
Modeling Results
The following sections detail the results of the air quality analyses.
Significance Analysis
The modeled results were compared to the modeling significance level (MSL) for NO2, CO, and
SO2 and OAC 252:100-31-7(b) for H2S. Since each proposed source was modeled based on
potential emission rates, this represents the most conservative method for determining ambient
impacts from the Facility for comparison with the MSL. The results of the Significance Analysis
are summarized in the following table.

significance analysis.
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 28
Since the maximum CO, NO2, and SO2 concentrations are greater than the corresponding MSLs,
a Full Impact Analysis is required for these pollutants and averaging periods.
Air Quality Pre-Construction Monitoring
The U.S. EPA’s monitoring de minimis concentrations establish the levels at which a facility
may need to conduct pre-construction ambient air quality monitoring to demonstrate compliance
with the NAAQS and PSD Increment. If modeling analyses show that maximum concentrations
from a project do not exceed the monitoring de minimis concentrations, the permitting authority
has discretionary authority to exempt Woodford from the pre-construction monitoring
requirement.
The maximum modeled impact from the Facility results in ambient concentrations greater than
the monitoring de minimis levels for all standards. Based on the Ambient Monitoring Guidelines
for PSD (EPA-450/4-87-007, May 1987), if the proposed source will be constructed in an area
that is generally free from the impact of other point sources and area sources associated with
human activities, monitoring data from a “regional” site may be used as representative data.
Such a site could be out of the maximum impact area, but must be similar in nature to the impact
area. This site would be characteristic of air quality across a broad region including that in
which the proposed source or modification is located.
The Woodford Facility is located in a relatively remote area that is generally free from the
impact of other point sources and area sources associated with human activities. The
background concentrations used to determine compliance with the NO2 NAAQS were taken
from a monitor located in Sequoyah, OK, monitor ID# 40-135-9021, which is an area
representative of the areas surrounding the Woodford Facility. The background concentrations
used to determine compliance with the CO and SO2 NAAQS were taken from a monitor located
in Oklahoma City, OK, monitor ID# 40-109-1037. These monitors were considered a
conservative representative monitor to determine background concentrations for the Facility.
Full Impact Analysis
The Significance Analysis shows that the MSL is exceeded for NO2, CO, and SO2. Therefore, a
Full Impact Analysis, consisting of both a NAAQS analysis and a PSD Increment analysis was
performed for these pollutants and averaging periods. Per ODEQ guidance, increment standards
have not been set for the NO2 or SO2 1-hour standards and the CO standards. Therefore, these
were only modeled for NAAQS compliance.
NAAQS Analysis
The results of the NAAQS analysis are summarized below. NO2, CO, and SO2 emissions due to
the facility will not cause or contribute to a violation of the NAAQS.

SECTION VIII. OKLAHOMA AIR POLLUTION CONTROL RULES
OAC 252:100-1 (General Provisions) [Applicable]
Subchapter 1 includes definitions but there are no regulatory requirements.
OAC 252:100-2 (Incorporation by Reference) [Applicable]
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 31
This subchapter incorporates by reference applicable provisions of Title 40 of the Code of
Federal Regulations. These requirements are addressed in the “Federal Regulations” section.
OAC 252:100-3 (Air Quality Standards and Increments) [Applicable]
Subchapter 3 enumerates the primary and secondary ambient air quality standards and the
significant deterioration increments. At this time, all of Oklahoma is in attainment of these
standards.
OAC 252:100-5 (Registration, Emission Inventory, and Annual Operating Fees) [Applicable]
Subchapter 5 requires sources of air contaminants to register with Air Quality, file emission
inventories annually, and pay annual operating fees based upon total annual emissions of
regulated pollutants. The applicant will be required to maintain an emissions inventory and
submit fees.
OAC 252:100-8 (Permits for Part 70 Sources) [Applicable]
Part 5 includes the general administrative requirements for Part 70 permits. Any planned
changes in the operation of the facility which result in emissions not authorized in the permit
and which exceed the “Insignificant Activities” or “Trivial Activities” thresholds require prior
notification to AQD and may require a permit modification. Insignificant activities mean
individual emission units that either are on the list in Appendix I (OAC 252:100), or whose
actual calendar year emissions do not exceed the following limits:
5 TPY of any one criteria pollutant
2 TPY of any one hazardous air pollutant (HAP) or 5 TPY of multiple HAP or 20% of
any threshold less than 10 TPY for single HAP that the EPA may establish by rule
Emission limitations and operational requirements necessary to assure compliance with all
applicable requirements for all sources are taken from the permit application, or developed
from the applicable requirements.
OAC 252:100-9 (Excess Emission Reporting Requirements) [Applicable]
Except as provided in OAC 252:100-9-7(a)(1), the owner or operator of a source of excess
emissions shall notify the Director as soon as possible but no later than 4:30 p.m. the following
working day of the first occurrence of excess emissions in each excess emission event. No
later than thirty (30) calendar days after the start of any excess emission event, the owner or
operator of an air contaminant source from which excess emissions have occurred shall submit
a report for each excess emission event describing the extent of the event and the actions taken
by the owner or operator of the facility in response to this event. Request for mitigation, as
described in OAC 252:100-9-8, shall be included in the excess emission event report.
Additional reporting may be required in the case of ongoing emission events and in the case of
excess emissions reporting required by 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, or 63.
OAC 252:100-13 (Open Burning) [Applicable]
Open burning of refuse and other combustible material is prohibited except as authorized in the
specific examples and under the conditions listed in this subchapter.
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 32
OAC 252:100-19 (Control of Emission of Particulate Matter) [Applicable]
Section 19-4 regulates emissions of particulate matter (PM) from new and existing fuel-burning
equipment, with emission limits based on maximum design heat input rating. Fuel-burning
equipment is defined in OAC 252:100-1 as “combustion devices used to convert fuel or wastes
to usable heat or power.” Thus, the heaters, thermal oxidizers, and engines are subject to the
requirements of this subchapter. The facility’s flares are not subject since they do not produce
any “usable heat or power”. Appendix C specifies a PM emission limitation range of 0.6
lb/MMBTU to 0.35 for fuel-burning equipment with a rated heat input range of 10 MMBTUH
or less up to 100 MMBTUH. AP-42 (7/98) Table 1.4-2 lists total PM emissions as 0.0076
lb/MMBTU for natural gas combustion. AP-42 (7/00) Section 3.2 lists total PM emissions from
natural gas-fired reciprocating internal combustion engines as 0.01 lb/MMBTU. AP-42 (10/96)
Section 3.3 lists PM10 emissions for diesel-fired engines less than 600-hp as 0.31 lb/MMBTU.
The 1,341-hp Caterpillar C32 ATAAC generator engine has a heat input of 9.26 MMBTUH.
OAC 252:100 Appendix C provides a calculation to determine the Subchapter 19 limit. The
Appendix C limit is 0.59 lb/MMBTU. AP-42 (10/96) Section 3.4 lists PM10 emissions for
diesel-fired engines greater than 600-hp as 0.1 lb/MMBTU. This permit requires the use of
natural gas or diesel fuel for all fuel-burning units to ensure compliance with Subchapter 19.
OAC 252:100-25 (Visible Emissions and Particulates) [Applicable]
No discharge of greater than 20% opacity is allowed except for short-term occurrences that
consist of not more than one six-minute period in any consecutive 60 minutes, not to exceed
three such periods in any consecutive 24 hours. In no case shall the average of any six-minute
period exceed 60% opacity. There is little possibility of exceeding these standards when
burning natural gas or diesel fuel. This permit requires the use of natural gas or low-sulfur
diesel fuel for all fuel-burning units to ensure compliance with Subchapter 25.
OAC 252:100-29 (Control of Fugitive Dust) [Applicable]
No person shall cause or permit the discharge of any visible fugitive dust emissions beyond the
property line on which the emissions originate in such a manner as to damage or to interfere with
the use of adjacent properties, or cause air quality standards to be exceeded, or interfere with the
maintenance of air quality standards. Under normal operating conditions, this facility has
negligible potential to violate this requirement; therefore, it is not necessary to require specific
precautions to be taken.
OAC 252:100-31 (Sulfur Compounds) [Applicable]
Part 2 limits emissions of sulfur dioxide from any one existing source or any one new
petroleum and natural gas process source. OAC 252:100-31-7(b) limits H2S emissions to less
than 0.2ppm at standard conditions, 24-hour average. Modeling has demonstrated the ability to
comply with this limit.
Part 5 limits sulfur dioxide emissions from new equipment (constructed after July 1, 1972).
For gaseous fuels, the limit is 0.2 lb/MMBTU heat input. For fuel gas having a gross calorific
value of 1,000 BTU/scf, this limit corresponds to a fuel sulfur content of approximately 1,200-
ppmv. Thus, a limitation of 343-ppmv sulfur in a field gas supply will be in compliance. The
permit requires the use of natural gas with a maximum sulfur content of 343-ppmv for all fuel-
burning equipment to ensure compliance with Subchapter 31.
Subchapter 31 limits SO2 emissions from new liquid fueled equipment to 0.8 lb/MMBTU. This
is equivalent to a sulfur content of 0.79% by weight. Subpart IIII currently limits sulfur to 500-
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 33
ppm (0.05% by weight) and, after October 1, 2010, limits sulfur to 15-ppm. Using No. 2 diesel
with 0.05% sulfur will result in SO2 emissions of 0.05 lb/MMBTU, which is in compliance
with Subchapter 31.
Part 5 limits H2S emissions from new petroleum and natural gas process equipment
(constructed or modified after December 31, 1974) to 0.3 lb/hr, two-hour average. For
facilities with H2S emissions greater than 0.3 lb/hr, OAC 252:100-31-26 requires that the H2S
contained in the waste gas stream from any petroleum or natural gas process equipment shall be
reduced by 95% by removal or by being oxidized to SO2 prior to being emitted to the ambient
air. Woodford will maintain H2S emissions below 0.3 lb/hr based on a two-hour average with a
control device. The control device will be at least 98% effective at oxidizing H2S to SO2.
Part 5 requires that a sulfur recovery unit be used if emissions of SO2 would exceed 100 lb/hr,
two-hour average. This subchapter also states any gas sweetening unit or petroleum refinery
process equipment with an emission rate of 100 lb/hr or less of SOx expressed as SO2, two-hour
average, shall be considered to be below the 0.54 LT/D threshold, therefore the requirements of
OAC 252:100-31-26(2) are not applicable. Emissions of SO2 from the conversion of H2S to
SO2 are 1.02 lb/hr, which is less than the 100 lb/hr threshold. Therefore, a sulfur recovery unit
prior to flaring is not required.
OAC 252:100-33 (Nitrogen Oxides) [Applicable]
This subchapter limits NOX emissions from new fuel-burning equipment with rated heat input
greater than or equal to 50 MMBTUH. None of the engines exceed the 50 MMBTUH
threshold.
OAC 252:100-35 (Carbon Monoxide) [Not Applicable]
None of the following affected processes are located at this facility: gray iron cupola, blast
furnace, basic oxygen furnace, petroleum catalytic cracking unit, or petroleum catalytic
reforming unit.
OAC 252:100-37 (Volatile Organic Compounds) [Applicable]
Part 3 requires storage tanks constructed after December 28, 1974, with a capacity of greater than
40,000 gallons and storing a VOC shall be a pressure vessel capable of maintaining working
pressures that prevent the loss of VOC to the atmosphere or shall be equipped with an external
floating roof, an organic vapor recovery system, or other equipment methods that are of equal
efficiency for purposes of air pollution control may be used with Division Director approval. The
condensate storage tanks are equipped with a fixed roof in combination with an internal floating
cover and are therefore not subject to OAC 252:100-37-15 requirements.
Part 3 requires storage tanks constructed after December 28, 1974, with a capacity of 400 gallons
or more and storing a VOC with a vapor pressure greater than 1.5-psia to be equipped with a
permanent submerged fill pipe or with an organic vapor recovery system.
Part 3 requires loading facilities with a throughput equal to or less than 40,000 gallons per day
to be equipped with a system for submerged filling of tank trucks or trailers if the capacity of
the vehicle is greater than 200 gallons. This facility does not have the physical equipment
(loading arm and pump) to conduct this type of loading. Therefore, this requirement is not
applicable.
Part 7 requires fuel-burning equipment to be operated and maintained to minimize emissions of
VOC. All fuel-burning equipment at this location is subject to this requirement.
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 34
Part 7 regulates VOC/water separators that receive water containing more than 200 gallons per
day of VOC. There is no VOC/water separator at this facility.
OAC 252:100-42 (Toxic Air Contaminants (TAC)) [Applicable]
This subchapter regulates toxic air contaminants (TAC) that are emitted into the ambient air in
areas of concern (AOC). Any work practice, material substitution, or control equipment
required by the Department prior to June 11, 2004, to control a TAC, shall be retained unless a
modification is approved by the Director. Since no AOC has been designated anywhere in the
state, there are no specific requirements for this facility at this time.
OAC 252:100-43 (Testing, Monitoring, and Recordkeeping) [Applicable]
This subchapter provides general requirements for testing, monitoring and recordkeeping and
applies to any testing, monitoring or recordkeeping activity conducted at any stationary source.
To determine compliance with emissions limitations or standards, the Air Quality Director may
require the owner or operator of any source in the state of Oklahoma to install, maintain and
operate monitoring equipment or to conduct tests, including stack tests, of the air contaminant
source. All required testing must be conducted by methods approved by the Air Quality
Director and under the direction of qualified personnel. A notice-of-intent to test and a testing
protocol shall be submitted to Air Quality at least 30 days prior to any EPA Reference Method
stack tests. Emissions and other data required to demonstrate compliance with any federal or
state emission limit or standard, or any requirement set forth in a valid permit shall be
recorded, maintained, and submitted as required by this subchapter, an applicable rule, or
permit requirement. Data from any required testing or monitoring not conducted in accordance
with the provisions of this subchapter shall be considered invalid. 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. Engine testing is subject to
this requirement.
The following Oklahoma Air Quality Rules are not applicable to this facility:
OAC 252:100-7 Permits for Minor Facilities not in source category
OAC 252:100-11 Alternative Emissions Reduction not eligible
OAC 252:100-15 Mobile Sources not in source category
OAC 252:100-17 Incinerators not type of emission unit
OAC 252:100-23 Cotton Gins not type of emission unit
OAC 252:100-24 Grain, Feed, or Seed Facility not in source category
OAC 252:100-39 Non-attainment Areas not in a subject area
OAC 252:100-47 Municipal Solid Waste Landfills not type of source category
SECTION IX. FEDERAL REGULATIONS
PSD, 40 CFR Part 52 [Not Applicable]
Potential emissions for NOx, CO, and VOC are less than the level of significance of 250 TPY
for this source category.
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 35
NSPS, 40 CFR Part 60 [Subparts Dc, Kb, IIII, JJJJ, OOOO, and OOOOa are Applicable]
Subpart Dc, Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units. This subpart affects
industrial-commercial-institutional steam generating units with a design capacity between 10
and 100 MMBTUH heat input and which commenced construction or modification after June
9, 1989. The hot oil heaters are rated greater than 10-MMBTUH and are subject to the
recordkeeping requirements of this subpart. The other heaters are considered process heaters
and are not subject to this subpart.
Subpart Kb, VOL Storage Vessels. This subpart regulates hydrocarbon storage tanks larger
than 19,813 gallons capacity and built after July 23, 1984. The 42,000-gallon condensate tanks
at the facility do not receive any liquids after custody transfer; however, if the facility begins
receiving condensate after custody transfer, each 42,000-gallon condensate storage tank is
equipped with a fixed roof in combination with an internal floating roof for control of
emissions. Therefore, the facility will be in compliance with Subpart Kb if applicable.
Subpart KKK, Equipment Leaks of VOC from Onshore Natural Gas Processing Plants
constructed, reconstructed, or modified after January 20, 1984. This subpart sets standards for
natural gas processing plants, which are defined as any site engaged in the extraction of natural
gas liquids from field gas, fractionation of natural gas liquids, or both. This Facility will utilize
cryogenic processes to extract natural gas liquids from the gas streams; however, the process
units at the Facility will be installed after August 23, 2011. Therefore, NSPS Subpart KKK
will not be applicable.
Subpart LLL, Onshore Natural Gas Processing: SO2 Emissions. This subpart affects
sweetening units and sweetening units followed by a sulfur recovery unit which commences
construction or modification after January 20, 1984. This subpart requires facilities with a
design capacity less than 2 LT/D of H2S in the acid gas (expressed as sulfur) to keep, for the
life of the facility, a record demonstrating that the facility’s design capacity is less than 2 LT/D
of H2S. If the gas treated by the amine unit contains less than 0.25 grains H2S per 100 SCF (4
ppmv H2S) then the amine unit is not subject to this subpart since it does not treat sour natural
gas. The facility shall keep records that demonstrate the facility is not subject to this subpart.
Subpart IIII, Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal
Combustion Engines. This subpart affects stationary compression ignition (CI) internal
combustion engines (ICE) based on power and displacement ratings, depending on date of
construction, beginning with those constructed after July 11, 2005. For the purposes of this
subpart, the date that construction commences is the date the engine is ordered by the owner or
operator. Compliance with this subpart is required in this permit for engines GEN1, GEN2,
GEN3, and GEN4 (EUG-01B).
Subpart JJJJ, Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion
Engines (SI-ICE). This subpart was published in the Federal Register on January 18, 2008. It
promulgates emission standards for new SI engines ordered after June 12, 2006, that are
manufactured after certain dates, and for SI engines modified or reconstructed after June 12,
2006. The specific emission standards (either in g/hp-hr or as a concentration limit) vary based
on engine class, engine power rating, lean-burn or rich-burn, fuel type, duty (emergency or
non-emergency), and manufacture date. Engine manufacturers are required to certify certain
engines to meet the emission standards and may voluntarily certify other engines. An initial
notification is required only for owners and operators of engines greater than 500 HP that are
non-certified. Emergency engines will be required to be equipped with a non-resettable hour
meter and are limited to 100 hours per year of operation excluding use in an emergency (the
length of operation and the reason the engine was in operation must be recorded). It is assumed
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 36
engines E-01 through E-11 (EUG-01A) are subject to Subpart JJJJ. Subpart JJJJ applicability
will be determined in the operating permit.
Owners and operators of certified engines may demonstrate compliance by operating and
maintaining their stationary engine and after-treatment control device (if any) according to the
manufacturer’s emission-related written instructions and do not have to conduct any
performance testing. Owners and operators of all SI engines (certified and non-certified) must
keep records of maintenance conducted on the engine. If an owner or operator of a certified
engine does not follow the manufacturer’s emission-related operation and maintenance
instructions, that engine is considered a non-certified engine and is subject to performance
testing, unless the engine is less than 100 HP. Owners and operators of non-certified engines,
which include certified engines operating in a non-certified manner, must keep a maintenance
plan. An initial performance test must be conducted within the first year of operation for any
certified engine operating in a non-certified manner that is equal to or greater than 100 HP. In
addition, non-certified engines, including certified engines operating in a non-certified manner,
that are greater than 500 HP must conduct the initial performance test and a performance test
every 8,760 hours of operation or every 3 years thereafter, whichever comes first. Rich-burn
engines operating with three-way catalysts or non-selective catalytic reduction must be
equipped with an air-to-fuel ratio controller operated in an appropriate manner to ensure proper
operation of the engine and control device in order to minimize emissions. Engines E-01
through E-11 (EUG-01A) are subject to the following limitations under this subpart.

There are no emissions of any of the regulated pollutants: arsenic, asbestos, beryllium,
benzene, coke oven emissions, mercury, radionuclides, or vinyl chloride except for trace
amounts of benzene. Subpart J (Equipment Leaks of Benzene) concerns only process streams,
which contain more than 10% benzene by weight. All process streams at this facility are below
this threshold.
NESHAP, 40 CFR Part 63 [Subpart ZZZZ is Applicable]
Subpart HH, Oil and Natural Gas Production Facilities. This subpart applies to affected
emission points that are located at facilities which are major sources of HAP, or TEG
dehydration units only located at an area source, and either process, upgrade, or store
hydrocarbons prior to the point of custody transfer or prior to which the natural gas enters the
natural gas transmission and storage source category. Subpart HH affects glycol dehydration
unit process vents, storage vessels with potential for flash emissions, and compressors and
ancillary equipment (valves, flanges, etc.) in VHAP service (i.e., more than 10% by weight
HAP) that are located at gas processing plants. The facility will not include any TEG
dehydration units; therefore subpart HH area source requirements will not be applicable.
Subpart ZZZZ, Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (RICE). This subpart affects any
existing, new, or reconstructed stationary RICE located at a major or area source of HAP
emissions. Owners and operators of the following new or reconstructed RICE must meet the
requirements of Subpart ZZZZ by complying with either 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart IIII (for CI
engines) or 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart JJJJ (for SI engines):
1) Stationary RICE located at an area source;
2) The following Stationary RICE located at a major source of HAP emissions:
i) 2SLB and 4SRB stationary RICE with a site rating of ≤ 500 brake HP;
ii) 4SLB stationary RICE with a site rating of < 250 brake HP;
iii) Stationary RICE with a site rating of ≤ 500 brake HP which combust landfill or digester
gas equivalent to 10% or more of the gross heat input on an annual basis;
iv) Emergency or limited use stationary RICE with a site rating of ≤ 500 brake HP; and
v) CI stationary RICE with a site rating of ≤ 500 brake HP.
No further requirements apply for engines subject to NSPS under this part. A stationary RICE
located at an area source of HAP emissions is new if construction commenced on or after June
12, 2006. The new engines are subject to this subpart and will comply with this subpart by
complying with NSPS Subpart IIII or NSPS Subpart JJJJ. All applicable requirements have
been incorporated into the permit.
Subpart JJJJJJ, Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers Area Sources. This subpart
affects new and existing boilers located at area sources of HAP, except for gas-fired boilers.
Boiler means an enclosed device using controlled flame combustion in which water is heated to
recover thermal energy in the form of steam or hot water. Gas fired boilers are defined as any
boiler that burns gaseous fuel not combined with any solid fuels, liquid fuel only during periods
of gas curtailment, gas supply emergencies, or periodic testing on liquid fuel. All fuel-burning
heaters at this facility are natural gas-fired. Therefore, the facility is not subject to this subpart.
CAM, 40 CFR Part 64 [Not Applicable]

federal program is available on the web page: www.epa.gov/rmp
Stratospheric Ozone Protection, 40 CFR Part 82 [Subparts A and F are Applicable]
These standards require phase out of Class I & II substances, reductions of emissions of Class I
& II substances to the lowest achievable level in all use sectors, and banning use of
nonessential products containing ozone-depleting substances (Subparts A & C); control
servicing of motor vehicle air conditioners (Subpart B); require Federal agencies to adopt
procurement regulations which meet phase out requirements and which maximize the
substitution of safe alternatives to Class I and Class II substances (Subpart D); require warning
labels on products made with or containing Class I or II substances (Subpart E); maximize the
use of recycling and recovery upon disposal (Subpart F); require producers to identify
substitutes for ozone-depleting compounds under the Significant New Alternatives Program
(Subpart G); and reduce the emissions of halons (Subpart H).
Subpart A identifies ozone-depleting substances and divides them into two classes. Class I
controlled substances are divided into seven groups; the chemicals typically used by the
manufacturing industry include carbon tetrachloride (Class I, Group IV) and methyl chloroform
(Class I, Group V). A complete phase-out of production of Class I substances is required by
January 1, 2000 (January 1, 2002, for methyl chloroform). Class II chemicals, which are
hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), are generally seen as interim substitutes for Class I CFCs.
Class II substances consist of 33 HCFCs. A complete phase-out of Class II substances,
scheduled in phases starting by 2002, is required by January 1, 2030.
This facility does not produce, consume, recycle, import, or export any controlled substances or
controlled products as defined in this part, nor does this facility perform service on motor
(fleet) vehicles that involves ozone-depleting substances. Therefore, as currently operated, this
PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 41
facility is not subject to these requirements. To the extent that the facility has air-conditioning
units that apply, the permit requires compliance with Part 82.
Subpart F requires that any persons servicing, maintaining, or repairing appliances except for
motor vehicle air conditioners; persons disposing of appliances, including motor vehicle air
conditioners; refrigerant reclaimers, appliance owners, and manufacturers of appliances and
recycling and recovery equipment comply with the standards for recycling and emissions
reduction.
The Standard Conditions of the permit address the requirements specified at §82.156 for persons
opening appliances for maintenance, service, repair, or disposal; §82.158 for equipment used
during the maintenance, service, repair, or disposal of appliances; §82.161 for certification by an
approved technician certification program of persons performing maintenance, service, repair, or
disposal of appliances; §82.166 for recordkeeping; § 82.158 for leak repair requirements; and
§82.166 for refrigerant purchase records for appliances normally containing 50 or more pounds
of refrigerant.

calendar days after the most recent test. Testing shall be conducted using a portable
SPECIFIC CONDITIONS 2015-0197-C (M-1) DRAFT/PROPOSED 7
analyzer in accordance with a protocol meeting the requirements of the latest AQD
Portable Analyzer Guidance document, or an equivalent method approved by Air
Quality. When four consecutive quarterly tests show the engine/turbine to be in
compliance with the emissions limitations shown in the permit, then the testing
frequency may be reduced to semi-annual testing. A semi-annual test may be conducted
no sooner than 60 calendar days, nor later than 180 calendar days after the most recent
test. Likewise, when the following two consecutive semi-annual tests show compliance,
the testing frequency may be reduced to annual testing. An annual test may be
conducted no sooner than 120 calendar days, nor later than 365 calendar days after the
most recent test. Upon any showing of non-compliance with emissions limitations or
testing that indicates that emissions are within 10% of the emission limitations, the
testing frequency shall revert to quarterly. Reduced testing frequency does not apply to
engines with catalytic converters. Any reduction in the testing frequency shall be noted
in the next required compliance certification.
[OAC 252:100-8-6 (a)(3)(A)]
xv. When periodic compliance testing shows exhaust emissions from the engines in
excess of the lb/hr limits in Specific Condition No. 1, the permittee shall comply with the
provisions of OAC 252:100-9. Requirements of OAC 252:100-9 include immediate
notification and written notification of Air Quality and demonstrations that the excess
emissions meet the criteria specified in OAC 252:100-9. [OAC 252:100-9]
xvi. Replacement (including temporary periods of 6 months or less for maintenance
purposes) of internal combustion engines/turbines with emissions limitations specified in
this permit with engines/turbines of lesser or equal emissions of each pollutant (in lb/hr
and TPY) are authorized under the following conditions.
[OAC 252:100-8-6 (a)(3)(A)]
a. The permittee shall notify AQD in writing not later than 7 days in advance of the
start-up of the replacement engine(s)/turbine(s). Said notice shall identify the
equipment removed and shall include the new engine/turbine make, model, and
horsepower; date of the change, and any change in emissions.
b. Quarterly emissions tests for the replacement engine(s)/turbine(s) shall be
conducted to confirm continued compliance with NOX and CO emission limitations.
A copy of the first quarter testing shall be provided to AQD within 60 days of start-
up of each replacement engine/turbine. The test report shall include the
engine/turbine fuel usage, serial number, stack flow (ACFM), stack temperature (oF),
stack height (feet), stack diameter (inches), and pollutant emission rates (g/hp-hr,
lbs/hr, and TPY) at maximum rated horsepower for the altitude/location.
c. Replacement equipment and emissions are limited to equipment and emissions
which are not a modification under NSPS or NESHAP, or a significant modification
under PSD. For existing PSD facilities, the permittee shall calculate the PTE or the
net emissions increase resulting from the replacement to document that it does not
exceed significance levels and submit the results with the notice required by a. of this

SECTION XXI. TITLE V APPROVAL LANGUAGE
A. DEQ wishes to reduce the time and work associated with permit review and, wherever it is
not inconsistent with Federal requirements, to provide for incorporation of requirements
established through construction permitting into the Source’s Title V permit without causing
redundant review. Requirements from construction permits may be incorporated into the Title V
permit through the administrative amendment process set forth in OAC 252:100-8-7.2(a) only if
the following procedures are followed:
(1) The construction permit goes out for a 30-day public notice and comment using the
procedures set forth in 40 C.F.R. § 70.7(h)(1). This public notice shall include notice to
the public that this permit is subject to EPA review, EPA objection, and petition to
EPA, as provided by 40 C.F.R. § 70.8; that the requirements of the construction permit
will be incorporated into the Title V permit through the administrative amendment
process; that the public will not receive another opportunity to provide comments when
the requirements are incorporated into the Title V permit; and that EPA review, EPA
objection, and petitions to EPA will not be available to the public when requirements
from the construction permit are incorporated into the Title V permit.
(2) A copy of the construction permit application is sent to EPA, as provided by 40 CFR §
70.8(a)(1).
(3) A copy of the draft construction permit is sent to any affected State, as provided by 40
C.F.R. § 70.8(b).
(4) A copy of the proposed construction permit is sent to EPA for a 45-day review period
as provided by 40 C.F.R.§ 70.8(a) and (c).
(5) The DEQ complies with 40 C.F.R. § 70.8(c) upon the written receipt within the 45-day
comment period of any EPA objection to the construction permit. The DEQ shall not
issue the permit until EPA’s objections are resolved to the satisfaction of EPA.
(6) The DEQ complies with 40 C.F.R. § 70.8(d).
(7) A copy of the final construction permit is sent to EPA as provided by 40 CFR § 70.8(a).
(8) The DEQ shall not issue the proposed construction permit until any affected State and
EPA have had an opportunity to review the proposed permit, as provided by these
permit conditions.
(9) Any requirements of the construction permit may be reopened for cause after
incorporation into the Title V permit by the administrative amendment process, by
MAJOR SOURCE STANDARD CONDITIONS June 21, 2016 12
DEQ as provided in OAC 252:100-8-7.3(a), (b), and (c), and by EPA as provided in 40
C.F.R. § 70.7(f) and (g).
(10) The DEQ shall not issue the administrative permit amendment if performance tests fail
to demonstrate that the source is operating in substantial compliance with all permit
requirements.
B. To the extent that these conditions are not followed, the Title V permit must go through the
Title V review process.
SECTION XXII. CREDIBLE EVIDENCE
For the purpose of submitting compliance certifications or establishing whether or not a person
has violated or is in violation of any provision of the Oklahoma implementation plan, 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.
