Enforcement History Questar Gas Management Company, a predecessor of Andeavor, entered into a Consent Decree with the United States (Case No. 2:08-CV-00167-TS-PMW) on July 3, 2012, to resolve alleged violations of several MACT ZZZZ and MACT HH requirements at the Coyote Wash, Chapita, Island, Wonsits Valley, and River Bend Compressor Stations. The Consent Decree was terminated on June 4, 2014 (see Appendix B); however, several requirements survive termination of the decree. (See Section IV of this report.)
The EPA issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) to MPLX LP on November 22, 2019, which included alleged violations of MACT HH at the Coyote Wash Compressor Station for:
(1) Failure to conduct performance tests after catalyst replacement on Engine C300, in violation of the MACT ZZZZ testing requirements at 40 C.F.R. 63.6640(b), the MACT ZZZZ emissions limitations and operating limitations at 40 C.F.R. 63.6600(b), and the requirements of Paragraphs II.C.1 and II.E.2 of the previous Title V permit for the Coyote Wash Compressor Station, Permit Number V-UO-000015-2006.00;
(2) Failure to timely submit MACT ZZZZ performance test results for Engines C100, C200, C300, C400, and C500, in violation of the reporting requirements at 63.7(g)(1);
(3) Failure to timely submit NSPS JJJJ performance test results for Engine C500, in violation of the reporting requirements at 40 C.F.R. 60.4245(d); and
(4) Emitting NOX in excess of 1.0 g/hp-hr from Engine C400, in violation of the emission limits set forth for Engine C400 in Permit Number V-UO-000015-2006.00.
Inspection Findings/Areas of Concern (1) Based on catalyst inlet temperature data submitted by MPLX for the period covered by this compliance evaluation, it appears as if there are errors in the methodology used to automatically compute catalyst inlet temperature 4-hour rolling averages when engines have operated for less than four consecutive hours. The EPA recommends that MPLX work on updating its system to correctly calculate averages following periods of engine downtime. See Section III.E. and footnote 7 for details.
Compliance Assistance No compliance assistance was provided as a result of this full compliance evaluation. However, a copy of this report, which highlights the EPA's areas of concern, will be provided to MPLX upon finalization.
General Inspection Observations and Commentary In an email on September 2, 2021, Ms. Loiacono informed Mr. Kenan Bisic and Mr. Thomas Gibbons, of MPLX LP, that the EPA was conducting an off-site full compliance evaluation of the Coyote Wash Compressor Station. In the email, Ms. Loiacono requested information and documentation related to compliance with the facility's Title V permit and other applicable regulations (i.e. MACT ZZZZ, NSPS JJJJ). Mr. Gibbons provided the requested information via email on October 9, 2021. Supplemental information was requested by Ms. Loiacono via email on October 14, 2020. Mr. Gibbons provided the requested supplemental information in an email on October 29, 2021.

Description of Operations3 The Coyote Wash Compressor Station gathers gas from surrounding well sites via a gas gathering pipeline system. The gas undergoes a natural separation process in the inlet separator that separates the gas from the liquids. The inlet gas is routed to the compression stage where it is compressed from field pressure to approximately 1,000 psi. The compressed gas is then routed to the sales gas pipeline. The liquids are routed to the on-site flash tank separator; flash emissions from the flash tank separator are captured by a vapor recovery unit (VRU). Vapors from the VRU are compressed by an electric compressor on site and routed back to the facility's gas inlet. Vapors from the flash tank separator are routed to a combustor (C-1), via a slop tank, when the VRU and electric compressor are not operating. Condensate liquids dropping out of the flash tank are pumped to a gas plant; the produced water from the flash tank separator is routed to a 300-barrel produced water storage tank. Information provided in the June 2018 Title V renewal application submitted for the Coyote Wash Compressor Station indicates that instrument air is utilized on site for energizing pneumatic equipment.
3 The description of operations provided here is a modified excerpt from the process description provided by MPLX (then Andeavor) in its June 2018 Title V renewal application.

Potential to Emit (PTE) Pursuant to 40 CFR 52.21, potential to emit (PTE) is defined as the maximum capacity of a stationary source to emit a pollutant under its physical and operational design. Any physical or operational limitation on the capacity of the source to emit a pollutant, including air pollution control equipment and restrictions on hours of operation or on the type or amount of material combusted, stored, or processed, shall be treated as part of its design if the limitation, or the effect it would have on emissions, is federally enforceable.
See Table 1, below, for facility-wide and emission unit-specific PTE data included in the Statement of Basis for Permit No. V-UO-000015-2018.00 for the Coyote Wash Compressor Station. The PTE totals below include reductions from legally and practically enforceable requirements set forth in the Title V permit. Table 1 also contains the total PTE for all insignificant emissions units.

a NOX and CO emissions from C100, C200, C300, C400, C500, and BC100 in Table 2 are based on the enforceable emission limits of
1.0 g/hp-hr NOX and 1.0 g/hp-hr CO, as specified in the Consent Decree Case No. 2:08-CV-00167-TS-PMV and memorialized in
Permit Condition IV.B.1(a)(ii).
b The Statement of Basis accounts for VOC emission reductions; however, no enforceable VOC emission limits apply to C100, C200,
C300, C400, and BC100; therefore, reductions in VOC emissions are not accounted for in this table.
c C500 is subject to the Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (NSPS JJJJ). An
enforceable VOC emission limit of 1.0 g/hp-hr applies to the engine.
NOX = oxides of nitrogen; CO = carbon monoxide; VOC = volatile organic compounds; PM = particulate matter; SO2 = sulfur dioxide; CH2O = formaldehyde; HAP = hazardous air pollutants

III. National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines - 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ (MACT ZZZZ)
A. Applicability [40 CFR 63.6585]
1. 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ applies to the following emission units:
(a) Caterpillar G3608LE engine identified as C100 in Table 2 of this permit;
(b) Caterpillar G3608LE engine identified as C200 in Table 2 of this permit;
(c) Caterpillar G3616LE engine identified as C300 in Table 2 of this permit;
(d) Caterpillar G3616LE engine identified as C400 in Table 2 of this permit;
(e) Caterpillar G3616LE engine identified as C500 in Table 2 of this permit; and
(f) Waukesha 7042GSI engine identified as BC100 in Table 2 of this permit.
2. Notwithstanding conditions in this permit, the Permittee shall comply with all applicable requirements of Subpart ZZZZ.
OBSERVATION: Engines C100, C200, C300, C400, and C500 are new (constructed on or after December 19, 2002), 4-stroke lean burn (4SLB), spark ignition (SI), natural gas-fired engines with greater than 500 hp located at a major source of HAP. These engines are subject to the emissions limitations in MACT ZZZZ Table 2a (#2) and the operating limitations in Table 2b (#1). Engine BC100 is an existing (constructed before December 19, 2002), 4-stroke rich burn (4SRB), SI, natural gas-fired engine with greater than 500 hp located at a major source of HAP. This engine is subject to the emission limitations in MACT ZZZZ Table 1a (#1) and the operating limitations in Table 1b (#1). Emergency generator (G-1) is a stationary RICE with less than or equal to 500 hp. According to information submitted by Mr. Gibbons in an email on October 29, 2021, the generator was constructed in
9
November 2006.5 Pursuant to 63.6590(a)(1)(ii) and (2)(ii), a stationary RICE with a site rating of less than or equal to 500 bhp located at a major source of HAP emissions is considered an existing engine if it commenced construction before June 12, 2006 and is considered new if it commenced construction on or after June 12, 2006. Since G-1 was constructed after June 12, 2006, it is considered a new stationary RICE located at a major source of HAP.6
According to 63.6590(c)(6), a new or reconstructed emergency or limited use stationary RICE with a site rating of less than or equal to 500 hp at a major source of HAP emissions must meet the requirements of MACT ZZZZ by complying with NSPS JJJJ. However, pursuant to 60.4230(a)(4)(iv), NSPS JJJJ applies only to owners and operators of stationary internal combustion engines that commence construction after June 12, 2006 and are manufactured on or after January 1, 2009. Since, G-1 was manufactured prior to January 1, 2009, NSPS JJJJ does not apply and G-1 is considered what is commonly referred to as a "gap engine" and has no emissions or operational requirements to meet under MACT ZZZZ or NSPS JJJJ.
C. Emission and Operating Limitations [40 CFR 63.6600 and 63.6605]
1. The Permittee shall comply with the emissions limitations and operating limitations for stationary 4SLB RICE with a site rating of more than 500 brake hp located at a major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions, specified in 63.6600(b), for engines C100, C200, C300, C400 and C500. The Permittee shall comply with the emissions limitations and operating limitations for stationary 4SRB RICE with a site rating of more than 500 brake hp located at a major source of HAP emissions, specified in 63.6600(a), for engine BC100.
2. Pursuant to 63.6600, compliance with the numerical emissions limitations for stationary 4SLB and 4SRB RICE with a site rating of more than 500 brake hp located at a major source of HAP emissions established in Subpart ZZZZ, for engines C100, C200, C300, C400, C500 and BC100, shall be based on the results of testing the average of three 1-hour or longer runs using the testing requirements and procedures in 63.6620 and Table 4 of Subpart ZZZZ.
3. The Permittee shall demonstrate compliance with general requirements for engines C100, C200, C300, C400, C500 and BC100 according to 63.6605(a).
4. The Permittee must operate and maintain engines C100, C200, C300, C400, C500 and BC100, including associated air pollution control equipment and monitoring equipment, in a manner consistent with safety and good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions at all times. The general duty to minimize emissions does not require the Permittee to make any further efforts to reduce emissions if the required levels have been achieved. Determination of whether such operations and maintenance procedures are being used will be based on information available to the EPA, which may include, but is not limited to, monitoring results, review of operation and maintenance procedures, review of operation and maintenance records and inspection of the source, as specified in 63.6605(b).
5 40 C.F.R. 63.2 defines "commenced" as meaning "with respect to construction or reconstruction of an affected source, that an owner or operator has undertaken a continuous program of construction or reconstruction or that an owner or operator has entered into a contractual obligation to undertake and complete, within a reasonable time, a continuous program of construction or reconstruction." "Construction" is defined as "the on-site fabrication, erection, or installation of an affected source." 6 According to the information submitted by QEP Field Services Company (a predecessor to Andeavor) in its September 2014 Title V Minor Permit Modification and by MPLX (then Andeavor) in its June 2018 Title V permit application, emergency generator (G-1) is a stationary RICE with less than or equal to 500 hp that was constructed after June 12, 2006 and is, therefore, considered a new stationary RICE located at an area source of HAP. However, it should be noted that, considering legally and practically enforceable controls, total formaldehyde (CH2O) emissions at the Coyote Wash Compressor Station are greater than or equal to 10 tpy (see Table 2, p. 5), which makes the facility a major source of HAP emissions since it has the potential to emit a single HAP at a rate of 10 tons or more per year. (See 63.6585(b).)
10
OBSERVATION: Pursuant to 40 C.F.R. 63.6600(b) and Table 2a (#2), engines C100, C200, C300, C400, and C500 must meet the emission limitations established in MACT ZZZZ by either (a) reducing carbon monoxide (CO) emissions by 93% or more or (b) limiting the concentration of formaldehyde (CH2O) in the exhaust to 14 ppmvd or less at 15% O2. The engines at Coyote Wash comply with MACT ZZZZ by meeting the 93% CO reduction limitation. In accordance with Table 3 (#1) to MACT ZZZZ, compliance with reduction requirements is determined through semi-annual performance testing. Pursuant to 40 C.F.R. 63.6600(a) and Table 1a, BC100 must comply with MACT ZZZZ by either reducing formaldehyde emissions by 76% or more or limiting the concentration of formaldehyde in the exhaust to 350 ppbvd or less at 15% O2. MPLX elects to comply with MACT ZZZZ using the formaldehyde percent reduction option for BC100.
See Table 5, p. 13 for results of MACT ZZZZ performance tests that have been conducted at the Coyote Wash Compressor Station since the previous full compliance evaluation.
C100, C200, C300, C400, and C500 must meet the continuous monitoring requirements of MACT ZZZZ Table 2b (#1) by: (1) operating a continuous parametric monitoring system (CPMS) to ensure the catalyst inlet temperature is greater than or equal to 450F and less than or equal to 1,350F, and (2) maintaining the pressure drop across the catalyst to within 2 inches of water of the baseline pressure drop recorded during the performance test that established baseline operating parameters (at 100% load 10%). As an existing 4SRB RICE > 500 hp, BC100 must meet the continuous monitoring requirements of MACT ZZZZ Table 1b (#1) by: (1) maintaining the pressure drop across the catalyst to within 2 inches of water of the baseline pressure drop (at 100% load 10%), and (2) maintaining the catalyst inlet temperature within 750 - 1,250F.
Pursuant to Table 6 (#1) and (#4) of MACT ZZZZ, to demonstrate continuous compliance with CPMS requirements, MPLX must collect catalyst inlet temperature, reduce the temperature data to 4-hour rolling averages, and ensure the 4-hour rolling averages are within the operating limitations for catalyst inlet temperature specified above. MPLX must also measure the pressure drop across the catalyst once per month to demonstrate it is within the allowable range established during the performance test. In response to a request from the EPA, Mr. Gibbons provided catalyst temperature data and monthly pressure drop readings covering the period of March 1, 2019 through September 1, 2021, for all engines at the Coyote Wash Compressor Station that are subject to MACT ZZZZ. See the observations in Section III.E. for details.
As discussed in Section III.A., above, no MACT ZZZZ emission or operating limitations appear to apply to generator G-1.
D. Testing and Initial Compliance Requirements [40 CFR 63.6610, 63.6615, 63.6620, 63.6625, and 63.6630]
1. The Permittee shall conduct the initial performance tests and other compliance demonstrations requirements for stationary RICE with a site rating of more than 500 brake hp located at a major source of HAP emissions, as specified in 63.6610, for engines C100, C200, C300, C400, C500 and BC100.
2. The Permittee shall conduct subsequent performance tests for stationary RICE with a site rating of more than 500 brake hp located at a major source of HAP emissions, as specified in 63.6615, for engines C100, C200, C300, C400, C500 and BC100.
3. The Permittee shall use the performance tests and other procedures for stationary RICE with a site rating of more than 500 brake hp located at a major source of HAP emissions, as specified 63.6620 for engines C100, C200, C300, C400, C500 and BC100. 11
OBSERVATION: Pursuant to 63.6615, 63.6620 and Table 3 to MACT ZZZZ, MPLX must conduct semiannual performance tests on engines C100, C200, C300, C400, C500, and BC100 with the option of moving to annual testing after two consecutive successful semi-annual tests. MPLX is currently conducting MACT ZZZZ testing on an annual basis.
Pursuant to 63.6620(b), an engine does not need to be started up solely to conduct performance testing. According to information provided by MPLX in the October 9, 2021, email submission from Mr. Gibbons, engine C100 last operated on September 21, 2019, and engine C200 last operated November 1, 2019; therefore, the engines have not been tested since August 2019.
See Table 5, p. 13, for results of MACT ZZZZ performance tests conducted since the previous full compliance evaluation.
It should be noted that the EPA has not received MACT ZZZZ test results for BC100 since the initial performance test in 2012, and according to information provided by MPLX, the engine last operated July 12, 2017. Subsequent performance testing to demonstrate compliance under MACT ZZZZ does not appear to be required for 4SRB stationary RICE < 5,000 hp. (See 63.6615 and Table 3 to MACT ZZZZ.)
4. The Permittee shall comply with the monitoring, installation, collection, operation and maintenance requirements for stationary RICE with a site rating of more than 500 brake hp located at a major source of HAP emissions, as specified in 63.6625, for engines C100, C200, C300, C400, C500 and BC100.
OBSERVATION: In accordance with 63.6625(b)(3), the CPMS on the engines at the Coyote Wash Compressor Station collects catalyst inlet temperature readings at least once every 15 minutes. Pursuant to 63.6625(b)(5), a CPMS performance evaluation must be conducted at least annually. According to information provided by MPLX in semi-annual compliance reports, CPMS performance evaluations were conducted October 16, 2019, and the week of October 12 - 16, 2020. According to information provided in the October 9, 2021, email from Mr. Gibbons, the performance evaluations included both the differential pressure transmitter and the catalyst inlet temperature thermocouple CPMS. In a notice dated August 19, 2021, MPLX stated that the next CPMS performance evaluations on C300, C400, and C500 were scheduled for the week of October 18-22, 2021. According to the notice, BC100, C100, and C200 are indefinitely shutdown and have not operated during the calendar year, so the October 2021 CPMS evaluation was not scheduled to include these engines.
5. The Permittee shall demonstrate initial compliance with the emission limitations, operating limitations and other requirements that apply to stationary RICE with a site rating of more than 500 brake hp located at a major source of HAP emissions, as specified in 63.6630, for engines C100, C200, C300, C400, C500 and BC100.
Note to Permittee: The initial performance testing, and demonstration of initial compliance with the emission limitations and other requirements have been satisfied for the engines currently operating at this facility. The requirements for initial performance testing, and demonstration of initial compliance with the emission limitations and other requirements are retained in this permit in the case of new construction, installation or modification of an affected source under this subpart.

E. Continuous Compliance Requirements [40 CFR 63.6635 and 63.6640 (a)-(e)]
1. The Permittee shall monitor and collect data to demonstrate continuous compliance for stationary RICE with a site rating of more than 500 brake hp located at a major source of HAP emissions, as specified in 63.6635, for engines C100, C200, C300, C400, C500 and BC100.
2. The Permittee shall demonstrate continuous compliance with the emission limitations, operating limitations, and other requirements for stationary RICE with a site rating of more than 500 brake hp located at a major source of HAP emissions, as specified in 63.6640(a)-(e), for engines C100, C200, C300, C400, C500 and BC100.
OBSERVATION: Pursuant to 63.6640(a) and MACT ZZZZ Table 6 (#1 & #4), MPLX shall: (1) continuously collect inlet catalyst temperature data and reduce the data to 4-hour rolling averages and (2) measure the pressure drop across the catalyst once per month. Catalyst inlet temperature 4-hour rolling averages should be maintained within 450 - 1,350F for engines C100, C200, C300, C400, and C500 and within 750 - 1,250F for BC100. Differential pressure across the catalyst for all engines should be within 2 inches of water from the baseline established during the performance test (at 100% 10% load).
Mr. Gibbons provided inlet catalyst temperature data and monthly pressure drop readings for March 1, 2019 through September 1, 2019 to the EPA for review. All 4-hour average temperatures for C100 and C200 appeared to be within the compliant range. Excluding periods of non-operation, forty-four (44) 4hour average temperatures for C300, forty-two (42) 4-hour average temperatures for C400 (East Bank), twenty-five (25) 4-hour average temperatures for C400 (West Bank), and forty-five (45) 4-hour average temperatures for C500 were out of the compliant temperature range. The majority of the out-of-range catalyst temperatures appear to be due to miscalculations of data, particularly during periods following engine startup, or due to bad temperature data/data errors. In the July 2018 inspection report for the Chapita Compressor Station, which is also operated by MPLX, the EPA previously noted concerns with the methodology used to compute catalyst inlet temperature 4-hour rolling averages, particularly related to calculations during periods where the engine has operated for less than four consecutive hours. The
13
EPA recommends that MPLX work on updating its system to correctly calculate averages following periods of engine downtime.7 Engine BC100 has not operated since July 12, 2017, so no data was provided for that engine. All monthly differential pressure readings reported appeared to be within 2 inches of the baseline differential pressure.
According to 63.6640(b), performance tests must be conducted to re-establish operating parameters following each catalyst replacement, and the re-test must also demonstrate that the applicable emission limitation is being met. According to the information provided by Mr. Gibbons in the October 9, 2021, email submission, catalyst replacements and baseline performance tests on the engines at the Coyote Wash Compressor Station have been conducted, as indicated in Table 6, below. Data for BC100 was not provided, as it has not operated since July 2017.

1. The Permittee shall submit notifications as specified for stationary RICE with a site rating of more than 500 brake hp located at a major source of HAP emissions in 63.6645 for engines C100, C200, C300, C400, C500 and BC100.
2. The Permittee shall submit reports as specified for stationary RICE with a site rating of more than 500 brake hp located at a major source of HAP emissions in 63.6650 and Table 7 for engines C100, C200, C300, C400, C500 and BC100. Reports of required performance tests shall be submitted with the respective semiannual report required in Section V.B.1. of this permit that corresponds with the reporting period within which the test was conducted.
3. The Permittee shall keep records as specified in 63.6655 for engines C100, C200, C300, C400, C500 and BC100.
4. The Permittee shall keep the records in the format and for the duration as specified in 63.6660 for engines C100, C200, C300, C400, C500 and BC100.
OBSERVATION: Pursuant to 63.6645 and 63.7(g)(1), results of performance tests shall be submitted to the Administrator within 60 days of completion of the test, unless otherwise specified in a relevant standard or as approved otherwise in writing by the Administrator. See Table 5, p. 13, for MACT ZZZZ testing dates and corresponding report submission dates.
MPLX submitted the required semi-annual compliance reports for engines C100, C200, C300, C400, C500, and BC100. The reports contained details of any deviations from emissions and/or operating limitations and continuous reporting downtimes. See Table 7, below, for details of MACT
7 See Implementation Question and Answer Document for National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines and New Source Performance Standards for Stationary Compression Ignition and Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (April 2, 2013). Guidance on calculating 4-hour average catalyst inlet temperatures is provided

IV. Requirements of Consent Decree Case No. 2:08-CV-00167-TS-PMV
A. Applicability
This source is subject to certain requirements of Consent Decree Case No. 2:08-CV-00167-TS-PMV (Consent Decree), filed and effective on July 3, 2012, and terminated on June 4, 2014. The Permittee shall comply with all applicable provisions of the Consent Decree as described in the Termination Clause, notwithstanding the conditions in this draft permit. The Consent Decree in its entirety has been included in Appendix A. The requirements for Coyote Wash that survive termination are found in paragraph 23.8
OBSERVATION: The Consent Decree was terminated on June 4, 2014. (See Appendix B for a copy of the signed termination order.) However, based on Section XVII of the Consent Decree, Paragraphs 17, 19, 20 and 23 shall expressly survive the termination of the Consent Decree.
B. Requirements for RICE 1. Requirements of Consent Decree Case No. 2:08-CV-00167-TS-PMV, Paragraph 23
For RICE with a site rating of 500 hp or greater operated at the facility, identified as engines C100, C200, C300, C400, C500 and BC100, the Permittee shall comply with the requirements specified below:
(a) Emissions Control:
(i) The Permittee has installed and is operating a NSCR and AFR control device on each rich burn RICE. Emissions from Waukesha 7042GSI engine identified as BC100 in Table 2 of this permit shall not exceed 1.0 gram per horsepower hour (g/hp-hr) for nitrogen oxides (NOX) and 1.0 g/hp-hr for carbon monoxide (CO); and
(ii) The Permittee has installed and is operating an oxidation catalyst control device on each lean burn RICE. The five existing lean burn RICE at Coyote Wash, identified as C100, C200, C300, C400 and C500 in Table 2, shall not exceed 1.0 gram per horsepower hour (g/hp-hr) for NOX and 1.0 g/hp-hr for CO.
OBSERVATION: BC100 is equipped with an NSCR and AFR control device. Each lean burn RICE (C100, C200, C300, C400, and C500) is equipped with an oxidation catalyst that operates as a control device. Results of semi-annual performance tests for NOX and CO conducted since the previous full compliance evaluation are displayed in Table 8 on p. 18.
(b) Emissions Controls Maintenance:
Any oxygen sensors in use shall be replaced within 2,000 hours of engine run time.
OBSERVATION: Per the consent decree, oxygen sensors are required for rich-burn engines with non-selective catalytic reduction (NSCR) and air-to-fuel ratio (AFR) controller systems. This requirement only applies to BC100. It does not apply to C100, C200, C300, C400, and C500 since they are lean-burn engines and, therefore, are not equipped with oxygen sensors. According to information provided during the March 2019 compliance evaluation, the oxygen sensor on BC100 was last replaced on August 8, 2016, which corresponded to 31,212 hours of engine run time. The engine has not operated since July 12, 2017.
8 According to EPA records, the Permittee demonstrated compliance with the initial control and monitoring device installation and performance testing requirements of the Consent Decree prior to the effective date of this permit.
16
(c) Performance Testing for NOX and CO:
(i) Not later than 180 days after the Effective Date of the Consent Decree, the Permittee shall conduct initial performance tests for NOX and CO emissions, on each RICE, using the test protocol selected from the list in paragraph iv below;
Note to Permittee: The EPA has determined that the requirements of Section IV.B.1.c.i. of this permit have been satisfied. This section has been retained because the provision of the terminated CD was stated to live on in perpetuity.
(ii) The Permittee shall retest each RICE semi-annually using the test protocol developed from the test methods specified above. The Permittee shall submit to the EPA the test results for NOX and CO with the respective semiannual report required in Section V.B.1. of this permit that corresponds with the reporting period within which the test was conducted;
(iii) Performance tests must be conducted at any load condition within plus or minus 10 % of 100 % load unless the reciprocating internal combustion engine cannot achieve plus or minus 10% of 100 % load at the time of the test. Under such circumstances, the RICE shall be tested at maximum achievable load, and the differential pressure across the catalyst shall be monitored and shall be maintained consistent with operating limitations in Subpart ZZZZ. If the RICE load is increased by 20 % or greater averaged over a 30day period commencing within 60 days of the last test, then the RICE shall be re-tested at the newly achievable maximum load and the corresponding differential pressure established. For the purposes of this provision regarding engine load during and after performance testing, the Permittee shall monitor and record load at each engine; and
(iv) The Permittee shall select among the following test methods: 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, Method 1 or 1A - Sampling port location and number of traverse points; 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, Method 3, 3A or 3B - O2 (Oxygen) concentration at inlet and outlet; 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, Method 4 - Moisture Content; 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, Method 7E - Determination of nitrogen oxides emissions; or 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, Method 10 - Determination of carbon monoxide emissions.
OBSERVATION: As previously discussed, engine loads are monitored and recorded via a SCADA system.
Results of required semi-annual performance tests conducted at the Coyote Wash Compressor Station since the previous inspection are displayed in Table 8 on p. 18. Test results were submitted to the EPA in semi-annual reports, as required. BC100 has not operated since July 12, 2017, and therefore, has not been tested during the period covered by this full compliance evaluation. C100 and C200 were tested in August 2019, and then not tested again during the compliance period as C100 and C200 last operated September 21, 2019, and November 1, 2019, respectively.

2. "Deviation" means any situation in which an emissions unit fails to meet a permit term or condition. A deviation is not always a violation. A deviation can be determined by observation or through review of data obtained from any testing, monitoring, or recordkeeping established in accordance with 71.6(a)(3)(i) and (a)(3)(ii). For a situation lasting more than 24 hours which constitutes a deviation, each 24-hour period is considered a separate deviation. Included in the meaning of deviation are any of the following:
(a) A situation where emissions exceed an emission limitation or standard;
(b) A situation where process or emissions control device parameter values indicate that an emission limitation or standard has not been met; or
(c) A situation in which observations or data collected demonstrate noncompliance with an emission limitation or standard or any work practice or operating condition required by the permit.
3. The Permittee shall promptly report to the EPA deviations from permit requirements, including those attributable to upset conditions as defined in this permit, the probable cause of such deviations, and any corrective actions or preventive measures taken. "Prompt" is defined as follows:
(a) Any definition of "prompt" or a specific time frame for reporting deviations provided in an underlying applicable requirement as identified in this permit.
(b) Where the underlying applicable requirement fails to address the time frame for reporting deviations, reports of deviations will be submitted based on the following schedule:
(i) For emissions of a HAP or a toxic air pollutant (as identified in the applicable regulation) that continue for more than an hour in excess of permit requirements, the report shall be made within 24 hours of the occurrence.
(ii) For emissions of any regulated air pollutant, excluding a HAP or a toxic air pollutant that continues for more than 2 hours in excess of permit requirements, the report shall be made within 48 hours.
(iii) For all other deviations from permit requirements, the report shall be submitted with the semi-annual monitoring report.
(c) If any of the conditions in (i) or (ii) of paragraph (b) above are met, the Permittee shall notify the EPA by telephone (1-800-227-6312), facsimile (303-312-6409), or by email to r8airreportenforcement@epa.gov based on the timetables listed above. [Notification shall specify that this notification is a deviation report for a Part 71 permit]. A written notice, certified consistent with the Submissions section of this permit shall be submitted within ten working days of the occurrence. All deviations reported under this section shall also be identified in the 6month report required under Condition 1 in this section of this permit.
