EXXONMOBIL PRODUCTION COMPANY ONSHORE GAS TREATING FACILITY [OTF]
THEODORE, MOBILE COUNTY, AL Facility No.: 503-4011
STATEMENT OF BASIS

ONSHORE GAS TREATING FACILITY [OTF] Facility No.: 503-4011 STATEMENT OF BASIS

PROCESS DESCRIPTION
The sour gas feed for the facility is produced and gathered from offshore gas wells. Field gas and produced liquids are delivered from the offshore platforms through separate pipeline systems. The field gas entering the onshore facility is delivered to a slug catcher vessel where any entrained liquids are separated from the gas. The gas flows from the slug catcher through filter/coalescing vessels. The gas is then sweetened in primary amine contactors, which removes carbon dioxide and various sulfur compounds from the gas. The sweetened, high-pressure wet gas is then dehydrated to pipeline water content specifications in glycol contactors. This gas is sent to either the DCP Midstream plant [Facility No. 503-8085] or the Williams Field Services plant [Facility No. 503-8056] where entrained hydrocarbon liquids are removed from the gas stream. Facility fuel is delivered from pipeline after liquids extraction. The rich amine solution, containing the absorbed sour gases and some co-absorbed hydrocarbons, leaves the high-pressure amine contactor and is flashed to a lower pressure. The sour hydrocarbon-rich flash gas is routed to the plant vapor recovery unit for compression and recycled back to the produced gas plant inlet. Various other low pressure gas streams in the plant are also routed to the vapor recovery unit for recycle back to the plant inlet. The rich amine solutions from the high pressure amine contactors are heat-stripped in the primary amine regenerator tower to remove the acid gas components and produce lean amine for reuse in the high pressure contactors. The amine solvent is continuously circulated between the contactors and regenerator in the gas sweetening process. Acid gas leaving the amine regeneration column is cooled to condense water vapor and routed through the sulfur recovery systems (i.e. acid gas enhancement unit, two typical four stage Claus elemental sulfur production units and two tail gas clean up units) where various sulfide compounds are converted into molten, elemental sulfur. The tail gases leaving each sulfide conversion system are sent to a thermal oxidizer for burning. The rich glycol solution leaving the glycol contactor is flashed to a lower pressure in a separator vessel. The flash gas is routed to the vapor recovery unit for compression and sent back to the plant produced gas inlet. The flashed liquid phase is routed to the glycol regeneration column, where absorbed water and hydrocarbons are stripped from the glycol by heating and natural gas stripping. The glycol regenerator overhead vapors are routed through a water cooled condenser to remove hydrocarbons and then to the facility flare for thermal destruction. The produced liquids stream from the offshore platforms is sent to the plant inlet liquids separator (three phase separator). From the inlet liquids separator the produced water is routed to storage tanks for secondary separation, and then routed to filtration and pumped to disposal wells. The hydrocarbon stream in the produced liquids is a mixture of diesel and natural gas liquids. The liquid hydrocarbon stream from the inlet liquids separator is routed to a surge tank and then to a stripper system, where the liquid is heat-stripped to remove H2S and volatiles. The sour overhead from the stripping system is cooled and routed to the vapor recovery unit for compression to the produced gas plant inlet. The sweet hydrocarbon stream is routed to storage tanks, from which it is trucked out for recovery at a local liquids refinery. The gas flashed from the liquids at the onshore inlet liquids separator is routed to the vapor recover compressors. All the liquids handling vessels and tanks in the onshore facility are vapor space controlled, with any evolved gases routed to the vapor recovery compressors. Plant heat source is primarily provided by two, 91.7 MMBTU/hour boilers and by waste heat recovery systems associated with sulfur recovery systems, thermal oxidizers, and electricity

generating turbines. Three 5,000 BHP, gas-fired, simple cycle combustion turbine (i.e. SCCT) engines provides electrical power generation for the facility. Two emergency gas flares, one high pressure and one low pressure, are also located at this facility. The significant sources of air pollutants at this facility along with applicable requirements, expected emissions and proposed monitoring are noted in the on the following pages.
NOTABLE CHANGES
During this renewal, several notable changes will be made to the permit in order to demonstrate compliance with new and/or modified federal and state requirements:
• 40 CFR 63 Subpart HH [Oil and Gas MACT] has been modified since the issuance of the last permit renewal. The changes affected both area and major sources of HAPs. The facility is now required to calculate the optimum glycol circulation rate or establish a maximum alternate glycol circulation rate. The facility chose to establish an alternate glycol circulation rate and supporting documents were provided to the Department on April 21, 2008; however, the rate was not included in the permit. The rate will be included during this renewal.
• Each emission monitoring section and compliance and performance test section of the permits will be restructured during this renewal.
• The PSD/BACT Limit which requires that the facility burn fuel gas with an H2S content of 0.10 grains/100 Scf or less in the turbine engines was removed from the permit during the last renewal. After further review of the facility files and discussion with the facility, it has been determined that the requirement was inadvertently removed from the permit during the last renewal. This requirement is being placed back into the permit during this renewal.
• Remove applicability to 40 CFR 60 Subpart Kb for the tanks because they do not store liquids in the storage vessels that would meet the maximum true vapor pressure requirements and the storage vessels would not meet the design capacity requirements for applicability under this subpart. It is possible that the storage vessels were deemed subject to this subpart in order for the facility to have flexibility in the types of liquids stored in the tanks. The facility has no future plans to store liquids that would be meet the requirements of this subpart.
• On May 3, 2017, Exxon requested to remove the requirement to limit acid gas flaring of high sulfur gas flaring to 40 hours per calendar quarter. This hourly limit for flaring was introduced in the 2006 Title V permit renewal. The limit is believed to have been placed in the permit to ensure that all acid gas sulfur masses that are flared are properly accounted for as sulfur feed for the SRU. There is not a regulatory basis for the limit (not required by state or federal regulation) and the facility believes that the limit is not necessary because they are able to quantify emissions when acid gas is routed from the SRU to the flare. Also during acid gas flaring the hours of flaring are maintained and the sulfur reduction efficiencies are correctly calculated to demonstrate compliance with 40 CFR 60 Subpart LLL [NSPS LLL]. Exxon submitted two years of historical data to demonstrate that the facility has not exceeded the hourly limit during each calendar quarter in 2015 and 2016. Based on the information provided and the fact that I cannot there is no documented reason nor justification for the limit being included in the permit, I recommend that this requirements is removed from the permit during this renewal.

The emergency engines’ applicability to state and federal regulations will be discussed in the following section.
STATE REGULATIONS
Applicability:
ADEM Admin. Code R. 335-3-4-.01(1)(a) and (b), “Visible Emissions” for Control of Particulate Emissions
The engines would be subject to this regulation; however, since natural gas is burned as fuel in the engines the actual PM emissions should be negligible. Therefore, no monitoring would be required. Provided that visible emissions are observed from the engines, Method 9 of 40 CFR 60 Subpart A shall be utilized to determine opacity from these units.
Applicability:
ADEM Admin. Code R. 335-3-14-.04 “Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Permitting”
When these engines were initially placed into service they did not undergo a PSD review since emergency generators were not subject to any state or federal regulations. Due to the limited use (fire suppression or protection, startup of a turbine, and backup generation) of these emergency engines and the engines’ size, there is no reason to believe that the engines’ emissions would have exceeded any de minimus thresholds under this subpart.
ONSHORE GAS TREATING FACILITY [OTF] Facility No.: 503-4011 STATEMENT OF BASIS
Page 17
Applicability:
ADEM Admin. Code R. 335-3-16-.03, “Major Source Operating Permits” (MSOP)
The emergency engines would be subject to the requirements of this regulation since they are located at a facility that is a major source. These units were previously classified as insignificant activities under this regulation. However, any emission source that is subject to a MACT, NSPS, or NESHAP subpart is not allowed to be a trivial or insignificant source. Since, the engines are subject to a 40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ, they can no longer be classified as an insignificant activity.
FEDERAL REGULATIONS
NEW SOURCE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS (NSPS)
Applicability:
40 CFR 60 Subpart A, “General Provisions”
Provided that the engines are subject to one of the applicable subparts found under this part, the facility shall comply with this subpart as specified in the applicable subpart.
Applicability:
40 CFR 60 Subpart IIII, “Standards of Performance for Compressions Ignition Internal Combustion Engines” [NSPS IIII]
This regulation is applicable to compression ignition (CI) stationary engines that commenced construction after July 11, 2005 and that meets the applicable manufactured date. Based on the permit application, each of the engines at the plant were constructed (1993 listed in the permit application) prior to the effective date for this subpart and neither has been modified or reconstructed since the effective date. Therefore, there are no requirements for these engines under this subpart.
NATIONAL EMISSION STANDARDS FOR HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANTS (NESHAP)
Applicability:
40 CFR 63, Subpart A, “General Provisions”
The emergency engines are subject to 40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ; therefore, the applicable General Provisos of Subpart A found in Table of 8 of subpart ZZZZ should be met.
Applicability:
40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ, “National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (RICE)” [RICE MACT]
Since the emergency generator engines were constructed at the plant prior to June 12, 2006, the engines would be existing sources under this subpart. There are no operating limitations, fuel requirements or performance test requirements for these units under this subpart; however, there are work or management practices that must be complied with.
ONSHORE GAS TREATING FACILITY [OTF] Facility No.: 503-4011 STATEMENT OF BASIS
Page 18
EMISSIONS STANDARDS
The following work or management practices must be met for emergency stationary CI engines, except during periods of startup or during emergency (Table 2d No. 4):
• Change oil and filter every 500 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first (you have the option of utilizing an oil analysis program in order to extend the specified oil change requirement)
• Inspect air cleaner every 1,000 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first, and replace as necessary
• Inspect all hoses and belts every 500 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first, and replace as necessary.
Each engine, including associated air pollution control equipment and monitoring equipment, must be operated and maintained in a manner consistent with safety and good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions. Also the engine must be operated and maintained according to the manufacturer's emission-related written instructions or a maintenance plan must be developed. The maintenance plan must provide to the extent practicable for the maintenance and operation of the engine in a manner consistent with good air pollution control practice for minimizing emissions [Table 6 No. 9]
An existing emergency stationary RICE located at an area source of HAP emissions must be equipped with a non-resettable hour meter if one is not already installed.
During periods of startup, the facility must minimize the engine's time spent at idle and minimize the engine's startup time at startup to a period needed for appropriate and safe loading of the engine, not to exceed 30 minutes, after which time the non-startup emission limitations apply [§63.6625(h)].
In order for engines to be considered an emergency stationary RICE, the unit must be operated as specified in §63.6640 f(1) through (4). Any operation other than emergency operation, maintenance and testing, emergency demand response, and operation in non-emergency situations for 50 hours per year is prohibited. If the engines are not operated according to the requirements in §63.6640 f(1) through (4) of this section, the engine will not be considered an emergency engine under this subpart and must meet all requirements for non-emergency engines. The RICE MACT does not limit emergency operation of the engine as specified in §63.6640 f(1). RECORDKEEPING AND REPORTING Maintenance records, records of hours of operation recorded via the non-resettable hour meter, hours of operation for emergency, non-emergency, and demand response operations, and records of the notification of an emergency situation shall be maintained for each of the engines. No reports are required under this subpart for emergency engines as long as the engines do not meet the requirements found in §63.6650(h). However, for Title V purposes a semi-annual periodic monitoring report (PMR) would be required to report deviations during each monitoring period.

40 CFR 64, “C OMPLIANCE ASSURANCE MONITORING (CAM)”
The emergency generator engines would not be subject to the requirements of CAM since they do not have an emission standard/limitation they are required to comply with.
EMERGENCY ENGINE EMISSIONS
The potential emissions from the emergency engines are provided in the table below. The units are emergency and they are typically only operated during readiness testing and maintenance periods (non-emergency hours); however, the facility is allowed to operate engines continuously during emergency; therefore, the emissions are based on continuous operation.

The thermal oxidizers associated with each of the sulfur recovery units would be subject to the requirements of these regulations.
ONSHORE GAS TREATING FACILITY [OTF] Facility No.: 503-4011 STATEMENT OF BASIS
Page 28
EMISSION STANDARDS
ADEM Admin. Code R. 335-3-4-.01(1) (a) states that except for one 6-minute period during any 60-minute periods, stationary emission sources shall not discharge into the atmosphere particulate that results in an opacity greater than 20%, as determined by a 6-minute average. ADEM Admin. Code R. 335-3-4-.01(1) (b) states that at no time shall a stationary emission source discharge into the atmosphere particulate that results in an opacity greater than 40%, as determined by a six minute average. EMISSIONS MONITORING
Provided that the sulfur plant is being operated and facility operating personnel notices that at any time visible emissions are observed from one of the thermal oxidizers in excess of the opacity standards, a visible emission observation shall be conducted. When Method 22 is used to determine the duration of emissions, the method has to be conducted by an individual who is familiar with the procedures. When Method 9 is used to determine opacity, it has to be conducted by an individual who is certified to use this procedure. Visual inspections and visible emissions observations are both required to be conducted during daylight hours. COMPLIANCE AND PERFORMANCE TEST METHODS AND PROCEDURES
Method 9 or Method 22 found in 40 CFR 60, Appendix A would be used to demonstrate compliance with the opacity standards. RECORDKEEPING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
A record of each occurrence when a visible emissions observation was conducted should be recorded and maintained. A deviation should be reported within 48 hours or 2 working days when a visible emissions event occurs.
Applicability:
ADEM Admin. Code R. 335-3-5-.03 (1), (2), and (3) “Petroleum Production”
The OTF Plant handles sour gas that contains 0.10 grains of hydrogen sulfide per standard cubic feet (H2S/scf) of gas or more the facility; therefore, the thermal oxidizers are used to comply with these regulations.
EMISSIONS STANDARDS
The thermal oxidizer is required to burn sour gas in order to maintain the ground level concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) at less than twenty part per billion beyond the plant property limits, average over a thirty (30) minute period. Venting to atmosphere shall not exceed 15 continuous minutes while vessels or equipment are being depressured and/or emptied and the reduced pressure will not allow flow of the process gas to the combustion device.
EMISSIONS MONITORING
Compliance is met by burning or recycling to the process all process gas that can be vented to atmosphere. Since the thermal oxidizers are subject to CAM, the monitoring plan under CAM which requires the facility to maintain a minimum firebox temperature will also be used to demonstrate compliance with the requirement to burn.
ONSHORE GAS TREATING FACILITY [OTF] Facility No.: 503-4011 STATEMENT OF BASIS
Page 29
RECORDKEEPING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
A record of events when a process gas stream was not burned in the facility flare or thermal oxidizers or when venting occurred for greater than 15 minutes shall be maintained.
Because each amine sweetening unit followed by a SRU is subject to the requirements of 40 CFR 60 Subpart LLL the requirements found in ADEM Admin. Code r. 335-3-5-.03(3) would not be applicable to these units. Compliance with subpart LLL shall demonstrate compliance with this state regulation. Per ADEM Admin. Code R. 335-3-10(2), NSPS emission standards supersedes the emission standards in this chapter.
Applicability:
ADEM Admin. Code R. 335-3-14-.04 “Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Permitting”
As mentioned previously, the OTF Plant is a 100 TPY source with respect to PSD because the facility is equipped with a sulfur recovery plant. In order to comply with Best Available Control Technology (BACT) requirements the facility accepted sulfur recovery efficiency limits that were more stringent than those specified in 40 CFR 60 Subpart LLL, they accepted BACT limits for carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NOX) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions, and they accepted a minimum oxidation efficiency for the thermal oxidizer. Compliance with PSD/BACT requirements shall demonstrate compliance with NSPS LLL.
EMISSION STANDARDS
• In order to determine the minimum sulfur recovery reduction efficiency (%) limits the facility is required to use the table below instead of Table 1 and 2 found in NSPS LLL.
ACID GAS H2S Content (Y) [Mole %]
SULFUR FEED (X) [LTON/DAY]
X < 2.0 2.0 ≤ X ≤ 15.0 15.0 < X
Y ≥ 1 0.0% 100-(15.0)(Y)-0.37 % Lesser of 100-(9.7)(Y)-0.99 %
—OR—99.8% Y < 1 0.0% 79.0% 79.0%
• At least 98% of the sulfur compounds leaving each thermal oxidizer shall be emitted as
SO2.
• The PSD/BACT limits for SO2, NOX, CO are found on the summary section of the Sulfur Recovery System Requirements.
COMPLIANCE AND PERFORMANCE TEST METHODS AND PROCEDURES
The sulfur recovery reduction efficiency shall be determined using the following equations:
Sulfur recovery reduction efficiency (%) = 100 ×[2%3456789: 0×),)*<% 3=7
345670×>?89:
#@A5BC7D(�%3=7A5BC0]

where X is defined as the sulfur feed rate (rate at which sulfur compounds enter the sulfur recovery system in long tons per day (LTD)) and E is defined as the sulfur compound emission rate (rate at which sulfur compounds are emitted from the thermal oxidizer) which is determined during performance testing.
ONSHORE GAS TREATING FACILITY [OTF] Facility No.: 503-4011 STATEMENT OF BASIS
Page 30
The sulfur feed rate (X) shall be determined using the following equation:
X [Sulfur feed rate (LTD)] =F × G� × �
where,
the constant K =3.707 x 10-5 in units of long tons per dry standard cubic feet (LTon/dScf)
Qa= the average volumetric flow rate of acid gas from sweeting unit in units of dScf/day
Y= the average H2S concentration in acid gas feed from sweetening unit, percent by volume, expressed as a decimal
The minimum oxidation efficiency shall be determined based on the combined TRS concentrations in the thermal oxidizer stack. If the TRS concentration is less than or equal to 5 part per million volume (ppmv), the oxidation efficiency is 98%; however, if the TRS concentration is greater than 5 ppmv the oxidation efficiency shall be calculated as follows:
Oxidation Efficiency% =100% × [�HI��J$#% 3=7K5BC0(�LJ%
3=7K5BC0]
�HI��J$#% 3=7K5BC0
where,
TRS= Thermal Oxidizer Stack total reduced sulfur emissions, determined during Each stack test.
Total SO2= Thermal Oxidizer stack SO2 Emissions, determined during each stack test.
Performance testing to determine SO2, CO, NOX and TRS emission rates is required to be conducted using the following methods and procedures:
• 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix A, Method 1 or 1a • 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix A, Method 2 or 2A or 2B or 2C or 2D or 2E • 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix A, Method 3 or 3A or 3B or 3C • 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix A, Method 4 • 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix A, Method 6 or 6A or 6B or 6C • 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix A, Method 7 or 7A or 7B or 7C or 7D or 7E • 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix A, Method 10 or 10A or 10B • 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix A, Method 15 • 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix A, Method 16A or 15
EMISSIONS MONITORING Monitoring to determine the sulfur recovery reduction efficiency requires determining the sulfur feed rate once every 24 hours, determining the average acid gas volumetric flowrate from the sweetening unit (using a continuous flowmeter) averaged and recorded at least once per hour during each 24 hour period, and determining the average acid gas H2S concentration in the flow from the sweetening unit once every 24 hours at equal intervals. The sulfur emission rate, is required to be determined during performance testing which is conducted at least once every 12 months. Performance testing requires three, one hour runs to determine SO2, CO, NOX and TRS emission rates (in units of Lbs/hr). RECORDKEEPING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
During each of the performance test runs the thermal oxidizer’s firebox temperature is required to be recorded and emissions from each thermal oxidizer shall be measured and recorded simultaneously. Records of each deviation, each performance test, each shutdown and startup of the gas sweetening unit, acid gas enrichment unit, sulfur recovery unit, tail gas treating unit and

(3) Continued operation. Except for, as applicable,
monitoring malfunctions, associated repairs, and required quality assurance or control activities (including, as applicable, calibration checks and required zero and span adjustments), the owner or operator shall conduct all monitoring in continuous operation (or shall collect data at all required intervals) at all times that the pollutant-specific emissions unit is operating. Data recorded during monitoring malfunctions, associated
repairs, and required quality assurance or control activities shall not be used for purposes of this part, including data averages and calculations, or fulfilling a minimum data availability requirement, if applicable. The owner or operator shall use all the data collected during all other periods in assessing the operation of the control device and associated control system. A monitoring malfunction is any sudden, infrequent, not reasonably preventable failure of the monitoring to provide valid data. Monitoring failures that are caused in part by poor maintenance or careless operation are not malfunctions.
(4) Response to excursions or exceedances.
(a) Upon detecting an excursion or exceedance, the owner or operator shall restore operation of the pollutant-specific emissions unit (including the control device and associated capture system) to its normal or usual manner of operation as expeditiously as practicable in accordance with good air pollution control practices for minimizing
emissions. The response shall include minimizing the period of any startup, shutdown or malfunction and taking any necessary corrective actions to restore normal operation and prevent the likely recurrence of the cause of an excursion or exceedance (other than those caused by excused startup or shutdown conditions). Such
actions may include initial inspection and evaluation, recording that operations returned to normal without operator action (such as through response by a computerized distribution control system), or any necessary follow-up actions to return operation to within the indicator range, designated condition, or below the applicable emission limitation or standard, as applicable.
13
General Permit Provisos
Federally Enforceable Provisos Regulations
(b) Determination of whether the owner or
operator has used acceptable procedures in response to an excursion or exceedance will be based on information available, which may include but is not limited to, monitoring results, review of operation and maintenance procedures and records, and inspection of the control device, associated capture system, and the process.
(5) Documentation of need for improved monitoring. After approval of monitoring under this part, if the owner or operator identifies a failure to achieve compliance with an emission limitation or standard for which the approved monitoring did not provide an indication of an excursion or exceedance while providing valid data, or the results of compliance or performance testing document a need to modify the existing indicator ranges or designated conditions, the owner or operator shall promptly notify the Department and, if necessary, submit a proposed modification to the permit to address the necessary monitoring changes. Such a modification may include, but is not limited to, reestablishing indicator ranges or
designated conditions, modifying the frequency of conducting monitoring and collecting data, or the monitoring of additional parameters.
(b) Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) Requirements 40 CFR 64.8
(1) Based on the results of a determination made under Section 33(a)(4)(b) above, the Administrator
or the permitting authority may require the owner or operator to develop and implement a QIP. Consistent with 40 CFR §64.6(c)(3), the permit may specify an appropriate threshold, such as an accumulation of exceedances or excursions exceeding 5 percent duration of a pollutant-specific emissions unit's operating time for a
reporting period, for requiring the implementation of a QIP. The threshold may be set at a higher or lower percent or may rely on other criteria for purposes of indicating whether a pollutant-specific emissions unit is being maintained and operated in a manner consistent with good air pollution control practices.
14
General Permit Provisos
Federally Enforceable Provisos Regulations
(2) Elements of a QIP:
(i) The owner or operator shall maintain a written QIP, if required, and have it available for inspection.

(III) Appropriate improvements to control methods.
(IV) Other steps appropriate to correct control performance.
(V) More frequent or improved monitoring (only in conjunction with one or more steps under paragraphs (2)(b)(ii)(I) through (IV) above).
(3) If a QIP is required, the owner or operator shall develop and implement a QIP as expeditiously as practicable and shall notify the Department if the period for completing the improvements contained in the QIP exceeds 180 days from the date on which the need to implement the QIP was
determined.
(4) Following implementation of a QIP, upon any subsequent determination pursuant to Section 33(a)(4)(b) above, the Department may require that an owner or operator make reasonable changes to the QIP if the QIP is found to have:
(i) Failed to address the cause of the control device performance problems; or
15
General Permit Provisos
Federally Enforceable Provisos Regulations
(ii) Failed to provide adequate procedures for correcting control device performance problems as expeditiously as practicable in accordance with good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions.
(5) Implementation of a QIP shall not excuse the owner or operator of a source from compliance with any existing emission limitation or standard, or any existing monitoring, testing, reporting or recordkeeping requirement that may apply under federal, state, or local law, or any other applicable requirements under the Act.
(c) Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements 40 CFR 64.9
(1) General reporting requirements
(i) On and after the date specified in Section 33(a)(1) above by which the owner or operator must use monitoring that meets the requirements of this part, the owner or operator shall submit monitoring reports to the permitting authority in accordance with ADEM Admin. Code R. 335-3-16-.05(c)3.

Each Emergency Flare - Opacity
Monitoring approach: Periodic Monitoring
I. Indicator Opacity A. Measurement approach Provided the flare is being utilized to burn a gas stream other than the pilot light fuel gas stream, a visual emission observation on the flare shall be undertaken. Duration of each observation shall be >= 15 minutes and<= 60 minutes Each observation shall be conducted with either: Test Method 9 of 40 CFR Part 60 – OR – Test Method 22 of 40 CFR Part 60 II. Indicator range (1) No more than one 6-min. average opacity reading shall exceed 20%; OR, (2) No 6-min. average opacity reading shall exceed 40%; OR, (3) The accumulated time of observed visible emissions shall not exceed 12 minutes. A deviation is defined as anytime the observed 6-minute average opacity exceeds 20% for the 2nd time, or 40% for the 1st time, when utilizing Method 9.
A deviation is defined as anytime the accumulated time in which visible emissions were observed exceeds 12 minutes per observation when utilizing Method 22. A deviation triggers continued visible emissions observations at a frequency suitable to defining the duration of the visible emission deviation event. One observation shall be undertaken to establish the end of the visible emission deviation event. A deviation triggers an immediate inspection, corrective action, and reporting within 48 hours or two work days. III. Performance criteria A. Monitoring frequency Daily
