26-00588A: Laurel Mountain Midstream, LLC (1550 Coraopolis Heights Road,
Suite 140, Moon Township, PA 15108) Notice is hereby given in
accordance with 25 Pa. Code ??127.44-127.46 that the Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue Air Quality Plan
Approval: PA-26-00588A to allow the construction and temporary operation
of one Solar Titan 130 natural gas-fired turbine rated at 19,553 HP,
one Caterpillar G3516B natural gas-fired emergency generator rated at
1,818 bhp and controlled by an oxidation catalyst, one dehydrator
(including reboiler) rated for 200 mmscf/day of natural gas, and one
produced water tank with a capacity of 476 bbl at the Shamrock
Compressor Station located in German Township, Fayette County.
Additionally, this plan approval will include a combined hours of
operation limitation of 39,600 hours per year on six Caterpillar G3516B
natural gas-fired compressor engines, account for a reduced rating of
15,252 HP on the Solar Mars 100 natural gas-fired turbine, and account
for still vent and flash tank emissions control on the dehydrator which
are all currently authorized for temporary operation under PA-26-00588.
Potential to emit changes from the new sources and restrictions on
currently authorized sources are calculated to be an increase of 24.66
tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx), 41.0 tons of carbon monoxide (CO), 7.03
tons of volatile organic compounds (VOC), 14.80 tons of total
particulate matter (PM), 9.80 tons of particulate matter less than 2.5
microns in diameter (PM2.5), 3.05 tons of total hazardous air pollutants
(HAP), and 81,934 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) per year;
and a decrease of 0.22 ton of formaldehyde per year. Best available
technology (BAT) for the proposed natural gas-fired turbine includes
good combustion practices including operation in SoLoNOx mode,
minimization of startup and shutdown events, and proper maintenance and
operation. BAT for the remaining new sources is good combustion
practices including use of an air to fuel ratio controller and oxidation
catalyst, implementation of a leak detection and repair program for
component leak emissions, capture and combustion of dehydrator still
vent and flash tank emissions as fuel, and proper maintenance and
operation practices.
Shamrock is an existing major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
through Step 2 of U.S. EPA's Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule, and the
potential to emit increase of CO2e exceeds 75,000 tons per year
triggering Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Best
Available Control Technology (BACT) requirements for GHG. BACT for the
proposed natural gas-fired turbine includes maximization of thermal
efficiency and proper maintenance and operation. BACT for the remaining
new sources is proper operation and maintenance practices,
implementation of a leak detection and repair program for component leak
emissions, and capture and combustion of dehydrator still vent and
flash tank emissions as fuel. A facility-wide CO2e limit of 187,820 tons
in any consecutive 12-month period has been required as a result of
this plan approval.
The authorization is subject to State regulations including 25 Pa. Code
??123.1, 123.2, and 123.31. The authorization is also subject to Federal
New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) including 40 CFR Part 60
Subparts JJJJ and KKKK for spark ignition internal combustion engines
and stationary combustion turbines respectively, and applicable
requirements of 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOOO effective October 15, 2012;
and also Federal National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NEHSAPS) including 40 CFR Part 63 Subparts HH and ZZZZ for
oil and natural gas production facilities and stationary reciprocating
internal combustion engines respectively. The reporting of greenhouse
gas emissions in the form of CO2e and on a mass basis has also been
included in this Plan Approval. Plan Approval has been conditioned to
ensure compliance with all applicable rules. This includes NOx, CO, VOC,
PM, and SO2 emission limits, stack testing, work practice standards,
monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting conditions. Once compliance
with the Plan Approval is demonstrated, the applicant will subsequently
revise a pending Title V Operating Permit (TVOP) application or submit a
TVOP administrative amendment application in accordance with 25 Pa.
Code Subchapters F and G. Shamrock Compressor Station is a Title V
facility based solely on GHG emissions through Step 2 of U.S. EPA's
Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule.
Interested persons may submit written comments, suggestions or
objections concerning the proposed Plan Approval to the regional office
within 30 days of publication of this notice. Written comments submitted
to the Department during the 30-day public comment period shall include
the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the
comments, identification of the proposed Plan Approval (PA-26-00588A)
and concise statements regarding the relevancy of the information or
objections to issuance of the Plan Approval.
The Department will hold a public hearing on October 30, 2012, from
6:30-8:30 PM at New Salem Volunteer Fire Department, 650 Footedale Road,
New Salem, PA 15468, to take oral testimony regarding this Air Quality

PETITION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF THE PENNSYLVANIA INDEPENDENT OIL & GAS ASSOCIATION
"... the Pennsylvania Independent Oil and Gas Association (PIOGA)
respectfully requests that the Commission reconsider its decesion to
vacate the Administrative Law Judge's Recommended Decision in this
matter." [See notes.]
-----
Notes:
The Plan Approval (this is DEP-speak for air quality permit) for
Shamrock Compressor Station is for a second turbine. This classifies
this facility as a Major Source for greenhouse gas emissions, but not
for anything else. I *think* (but am not sure) the hearing is being held
because it is *required* under EPA rules for a major source. GASP
(Group Against Smog and Pollution) has appealed the Plan Approval under
which Shamrock is currently operating. That case before the
Environmental Hearing Board has been through many preliminary motions
and is about to go to trial. You can follow the documents for that case
on-line here:
<
http://ehb.courtapps.com/public/document_shower_pub.php?csNameID=4267>
The Duke Energy Fayette Energy Facility is a gas-fired power plant.
Clean Air Council has achieved hearings on compressor stations in other
regions of Pennsylvania, but to my knowledge the Shamrock hearing will
be the first compressor station hearing in the Southwest Region.
eFACTS links the facility MAWC 7020 5H (authorization 943703) to the
site record "FAYETTE COUNTY PROJECT ESCGP-EXPEDITED" which shows these
municipalities: Dunbar Twp, North Union Twp, Springfield Twp, Stewart
Twp. Something is clearly wrong here. I suspect someone at DEP got the
wrong site record. I've seen multiple townships for a pipeline project,
but for a well site permit this makes no sense.
The site link on eFACTS for authorization 941969 is broken, even though
it appears to point to the correct site. It is not clear where this bug
is; a site search for site 748356 works and brings up the correct
record.
I'm not aware at this time what the correct procedure is for pointing out to DEP errors in eFACTS. I will have to find out.
Location information for the well HALL-HOGSETT UNIT 13H OG WELL,
authorization 944753, is not yet available. Evidently information for
this well was entered into eFACTS but not yet eMapPa.
The document from FERC cited above gives FERC's response to material
submitted by Texas Eastern; FERC is requesting more information. It is
IMPORTANT to monitor FERC's handling of compressor stations. FERC has
been known to require more of a compressor station operator than DEP.
For instance: National Fuel Gas has been required by FERC to submit a
*dispersion study* for the Buffalo Compressor Station in Washington
County. See point 12 in:
<
http://elibrary.ferc.gov/idmws/File_list.asp?document_id=14007778>
I have raised the issue of dispersion study for acute health effects in
public comments on air quality permits for two different compressor
stations -- Shamrock and Welling (in Washington County) -- so far
without effect.
The Peregrine case continues to refuse to die. When last sighted, the
PUC had issued an order accepting Peregrine's petition to withdraw *and*
VACATING Administrative Law Judge Susan D. Colwell's Recommended
Decision. Vacating the Recommended Decision was unfortunate. It was a
very very good decision, denying Peregrine on just about every point. As
far as I know, by vacating that decision the PUC is indicating that it
should not be cited as precedent. I hope the PIOGA petition succeeds,
and that the PUC will reinstate the Recommended Decision, but I am not
optimistic. There is no link yet for the PIOGA petition, if you want to
read it before a link is published send me E-mail. The link should
appear in the Consolidated Case View for the Peregrine case:

(This is a *new link*, following reorganization of the PUC web site.)

eNOTICE records are likely to list the same permit multiple times, as that permit moves through the DEP process.
Oil & Gas Wells designated with a site a number and the letter H typically designate horizontal wells.
