NOTICE OF COMMENT PERIOD FOR DRAFT/PROPOSED OPERATING PERMIT
SIGNIFICANT MODIFICATION
Title V of the Federal Clean Air Act and the state Air
Pollution Control Act requires that all major sources and
certain minor sources have a permit to operate which
states all requirements (e.g. emission limitations,
monitoring requirements, etc.) established by
regulations promulgated under the aforementioned
programs. The Division of Air Quality (DAQ) has
determined that the draft/proposed permit significant
modification referenced herein meets this requirement.
The DAQ is providing notice to the general public of its
preliminary determination to issue an operating permit
significant modification to the following company for
operation of the referenced natural gas compressor
station:
Eureka Midstream, LLC
Carbide Compressor Station
Plant ID No.: 03-54-103-00049
15448 Shortline Highway
Hastings, WV 26419
The emissions change associated with this significant
modification is an increase of CO by 3.68 tpy, NOX by
5.73 tpy, PM2.5 by 0.72 tpy, PM10 by 2.02 tpy, SO2 by
0.04 tpy, Formaldehyde by 0.58 tpy, Benzene by 0.50
tpy, and Xylene by 0.03 tpy as well as a decrease of
VOCs by 25.4 tpy, Toluene by 1.80 tpy, Ethylbenzene
by 0.01 tpy, n-Hexane by 3.77 tpy, and total HAPs by
4.08 tpy.
This notice solicits comments from the public and
affected state(s) concerning the above preliminary
determination and provides an opportunity for such
parties to review the basis for the proposed approval
and the “draft” permit significant modification. This
notice also solicits comments from the U.S. EPA
concerning the same preliminary determination and
provides an opportunity for the U.S. EPA to concurrently
review the basis for the proposed approval as a
“proposed” permit.
All written comments submitted by the public and
affected state(s) pursuant to this notice must be
received by the DAQ within thirty (30) days of the date
of publication of this notice. Under concurrent review,
written comments submitted by the U.S. EPA must be
received by the DAQ within forty-five (45) days from the
date of publication of this notice or from the date the
U.S. EPA receives this draft/proposed permit significant
modification, whichever is later. In the event the
30th/45th day is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal
holiday, the comment period will be extended
until 5:00 p.m. on the following regularly scheduled
business day. The public shall have 135 days from the
date of publication of this notice to file petitions for
concurrently reviewed permits. Upon notice by the U.S.
EPA to the DAQ, prior to the end of the 45 day
notice period, the U.S. EPA may choose to hold the 30
day comment period on the draft permit and the 45 day
comment period on the proposed permit sequentially.
During the public comment period any interested person
may submit written comments on the draft permit and, if
no public hearing has been scheduled, may request a
public hearing. A request for a public hearing shall be in
writing and shall state the nature of the issues
proposed to be raised in the hearing. The Director of the
DAQ shall grant such a request for a hearing if she
concludes that a public hearing is appropriate. Any
public hearing shall be held in the general area in which the facility is located, after 30 day notice is given. The
DAQ will consider all written comments prior to final
action on the permit.
