Special Conditions
Permit Number 9442
Emission Standards
1. This permit authorizes emissions only from those points listed in the attached table entitled “Emission Sources - Maximum Allowable Emission Rates,” and the facilities covered by this permit are authorized to emit subject to the emission rate limits on that table and other operating requirements specified in the special conditions.
2. Non-fugitive emissions from relief valves, safety valves, or rupture discs of gases containing volatile organic compounds (VOC) at a concentration of greater than 1 percent by weight are not authorized by this permit unless authorized on the maximum allowable emission rates table (MAERT). Any releases directly to atmosphere from relief valves, safety valves, or rupture discs of gases containing VOC at a concentration greater than 1 percent by weight are not consistent with good practice for minimizing emissions. (xx/xx)
Operating Specifications
3. Except as provided for below, the use of compounds at all emissions sources including (but not limited to) degassing, de-heeling, drumming, storage, and tank truck loading is limited to those identified in Attachments I, II, and III. Modifications or construction of new facilities at the site that result in emission increases of the chemicals listed in Attachments I, II, or III or chemicals currently in use and previously authorized through the procedure below can only be approved through the use of the procedure below (if no physical modification/new construction) or through permit amendment. New compounds may be added through the use of the procedure below, 30 TAC Chapter 106, or 30 TAC Chapter 116. (03/08)
A. Short-term (pounds per hour [lb/hr]) and annual (TPY) emissions and calculations shall be completed for each chemical at each affected source.

B. The Effect Screening Level (ESL) for the material shall be obtained from the current TCEQ ESL list or by written request to the TCEQ Toxicology Division.
C. The total emissions of any compound from all emission points in this permit must satisfy one of the following conditions:
(1) The total maximum ER from all sources is less than 0.04 lb/hr and the ESL greater than 2 µg/m3; or
(2) (ER/ESL)N I ≤ (ER/ESL)Ei
(ER/ESL)N i = maximum hourly ER of the new compound divided by its ESL at emission source i
(ER/ESL)Ei = the highest ratio of any previously authorized compound hourly ER divided by its ESL at emission source i
i = emission sources including (but not limited to) degassing, de-heeling, drumming, storage, and tank truck loading
The above equation must be satisfied for each source where the new compound is emitted.

Section 1 Introduction
1.1 Overview of Permitted Sources Southwest Shipyard, L.P. (Southwest Shipyard) owns and operates a barge cleaning and repair
facility located at 18310 Market Street in Channelview, Harris County, Texas. This site, referred
to as the Channelview site, performs marine vessel and barge cleaning and repair activities,
which involve stripping and degassing marine tank barges as well as painting barges. The
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Customer Number (CN) for Southwest
Shipyard is CN600135354. The Regulated Entity Number (RN) for the Channelview site is
RN100248749, and the TCEQ account number is HG‐0686‐T.
TCEQ New Source Review (NSR) Permit No. 9442 authorizes the degassing and cleaning of
marine tank barges at the Channelview site’s barge front cleaning docks. At this facility, barges
are cleaned and degassed utilizing a vapor collection system, which produces a vacuum in the
barge, and routes the vapors to a control device for volatile organic compound (VOC)
destruction, as applicable.1
NSR Permit No. 9442 authorizes two flares [Emission Point Numbers (EPNs): FL‐1 and FL‐3],
which are used to control barge degassing emissions. The two flares (EPNs: FL‐1 and FL‐3) are
being replaced with two new Vapor Combustor Units (VCUs) (EPNs: VCU‐2 and VCU‐3) for
the control of the barge and marine vessel degassing operations. The replacement of the control
equipment is authorized by TCEQ Pollution Control Project Standard Permit (PCP SP) No.
154687, issued in December 2018 2. The new VCUs are currently under construction and the
installation is anticipated to occur in November 2019.
1.2 Purpose of Amendment Application The purpose of this amendment application is to consolidate by incorporation PCP Standard
Permit No. 154687 into NSR Permit 9442. The standard permit to be incorporated will result in
a federally enforceable reduction of over 22 tons per year (TPY) of authorized VOC emissions
from the control of the barge and marine vessel degassing operations. Additionally, the
1 NSR Permit 9442, Attachments II and III, list the chemical compounds that must be controlled during degassing
operations. Chemicals listed in Attachments II and III are routed to a flare (EPN FL‐1 or FL‐3), and a Carbon
Adsorption Unit (EPN CA‐1), respectively, for vapor destruction. 2 PCP Standard Permit 154687 was issued on December 12, 2018 (TCEQ Project No. 293968), and a copy of this
registration letter is included in Appendix D.
TRC Environmental Corporation | Southwest Shipyard, L.P. 1‐2 \\HOUSTON‐FP1\DATA\PROJECTS‐PPL\WPHOU\PJT2\340745\0000\R340745.0000‐001.DOCX 10/29/2019 Final November 2019
replacement of the flares with the new VCUs will result in a decrease in short‐term (hourly)
VOC emissions of over 85 pounds VOC per hour (lb/hr). This is because the proposed VCUs
(EPNs: VCU‐2 and VCU‐3) have a higher VOC destruction efficiency than the flares, and each
VCU will have a minimum VOC Destruction and Removal Efficiency (DRE) of 99.95 percent. In
contrast, the flares have a VOC DRE of 98 percent.
Given the pollution control project, Southwest Shipyard applied for Certification of Emission
Reduction Credits (ERCs) with ERC Generation Project No. 413652, which is currently pending
and under review. Southwest Shipyard seeks to generate ERCs by ensuring the strategic
emissions from the control equipment replacement project are permanent and enforceable.
Accordingly, PCP SP 154687 must be fully incorporated into NSR Permit Number 9442 to
remove the flares and reflect the emission reduction in accordance with Title 30 of the Texas
Administrative Code (30 TAC) §101.303(d)(4).
Southwest Shipyard is submitting an amendment to Permit No. 9442 to accomplish the
following objectives:
Consolidate by incorporation PCP Standard Permit No. 154687 into NSR Permit 9442 in an
expedited manner, such that it won’t delay the approval of ERC Generation Project No.
413652. As such, no changes to any other sources are requested as part of this amendment.
Additionally, NSR Permit 9442 is due for renewal next year (October 22, 2020), and the
renewal project will update any other outstanding items that may need to be addressed.
Delete the flares (EPNs: FL‐1 and FL‐3) from the NSR permit and replace with the new
VCUs (EPNs: VCU‐2 and VCU‐3).
Update the Maximum Allowable Emission Rate Table (MAERT) and Special Conditions to
reflect the standard permit consolidation, as well as include conditions that reflect the ERC
generation project using specific language provided by the TCEQ Emissions Banking and
Trading Program. The proposed language is included in Section 4 of this application.
1.3 Administrative Information This permit amendment application is being submitted in accordance with 30 TAC Chapter 116,
Subchapter B. A completed Excel workbook Form PI‐1 General Application (version 4.0) with
additional support information is included in this submittal. A discussion of project‐related
emission rate changes, federal applicability, public notice applicability, and the TCEQ permit
application fee are provided in Sections 1.4 through 1.7 of this section, respectively.
An area map indicating the site location and plot plan identifying the location of the project
emission sources are included in Figures 1‐1 and 1‐2 of this section, respectively. A process

description and process flow diagram are presented in Section 2. The emission calculations for
the project‐related sources can be found in Section 3 of this application, which were previously
submitted with the PCP SP. The Best Available Control Technology (BACT) analysis is
included in the Excel workbook Form PI‐1 General Application. Identification of applicable
federal and state regulatory requirements and compliance with these requirements is
demonstrated in Section 5.
To assist in the review of this submittal, the following appendices are included:
1.3.1 Administrative Information (Appendix A)
Appendix A of this application contains the Form PI‐1 General Application; Excel
workbook file, which has been submitted electronically through the State of Texas
Environmental Electronic Reporting System (STEERS) e‐Permits system.
1.3.2 Emission Calculations (Appendix B)
A copy of the emission rate calculations previously submitted with the PCP SP
registration are included in Appendix B.
1.3.3 Impacts Analysis (Appendix C)
Appendix C contains the Air Quality Analysis (AQA) submitted in support of this
application. Modeling impacts were assessed qualitatively using the impacts analysis
that was previously submitted to TCEQ in support of the PCP SP Project No. 154687,
issued in December 2018.
1.3.4 Current Permits (Appendix D)
A copy of Standard Permit Registration No. 154687 (Pollution Control Projects Air
Quality Standard Permit) and NSR Permit No. 9442 is provided in Appendix D.
1.4 Summary of Emission Changes Emissions associated with this project consist of VOCs from the barge degassing and cleaning
operations, as well as nitrogen oxides (NOX), carbon monoxide (CO), and sulfur dioxide (SO2)
due to the products of combustion. The replacement of the flares with the new VCUs will result
in a decrease in short‐term and annual VOC emissions. The incorporation of the PCP SP will
result in an increase in annual NOX emissions (less than one TPY NOX), as well as an increase in
hourly and annual CO emissions (less than one TPY CO) due to the change in emission factors
for NOX and CO. The incorporation of the PCP SP will also result in a small increase in SO2
emissions due to the use of supplemental assist natural gas, which has always been present but

The emission calculation methodologies for the project emission sources are described in
Section 3 of this application. Detailed emission calculations are included in Appendix B.
1.5 Federal Permitting Applicability The Southwest Shipyard Channelview site is an existing major stationary source for VOC
emissions. Therefore, an evaluation of both Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD)
applicability and Nonattainment New Source Review (NNSR) applicability needs to be
conducted for any “project” to be authorized at the site. The regulated pollutants evaluated for
this application are VOC, NOX, CO, and SO2. NNSR and PSD applicability evaluations are
discussed in the following sections.
1.5.1 NNSR Applicability
The Southwest Shipyard Channelview site is located in Harris County, Texas. Harris
County is designated as a serious nonattainment area for ozone under the eight‐hour
standard, for which emissions of NOX and VOC are regulated as precursors to ozone.
Harris County is designated an unclassifiable/attainment area for all other criteria
pollutants.
There are no increases in VOC emissions associated with this project, and the NNSR
analysis for the increase in NOX emissions (< 1 TPY) due to the PCP SP being
incorporated in this amendment was done at the time of the standard permit project

Section 2 Process Description
Southwest Shipyard’s barge cleaning and repair facility has been in operation since the early
1960s. The degassing and cleaning of marine tank barges occurs adjacent to the Channelview
site’s barge cleaning docks.
The barges degassed and cleaned at this facility are used to transport a variety of chemicals and
other liquid products, including crude oil and its petroleum distillates. Many of the barges
handled at Southwest Shipyard are stripped or empty prior to arrival at the site. However,
some barges may contain residual product or cargo. If residual product is found to be present,
it is drained from the barges (a process known as deheeling) prior to degassing. Following the
deheeling process, barges are cleaned and degassed utilizing a vapor collection system, which
produces a vacuum in the barge, and routes the vapors to a control device for volatile organic
compound (VOC) destruction, as applicable.3
Vapors within a barge or marine vessel containing a chemical listed in Attachment II of NSR
Permit No. 9442 are currently routed to one of two flares (EPNs: FL‐1 or FL‐3) for VOC vapor
destruction. The two flares (EPNs: FL‐1 and FL‐3) are being replaced with two new Vapor
Combustor Units (VCUs) (EPNs: VCU‐2 and VCU‐3) for the control of the barge and marine
vessel degassing operations, which are currently under construction. The replacement of the
control equipment is authorized by TCEQ PCP SP No. 154687, issued in December 2018. The
VCUs have a higher VOC DRE than the existing flares, which will result in a substantial
decrease in authorized VOC emissions at the site.
A process flow diagram is included as Figure 2‐1.
3 NSR Permit 9442, Attachments II and III, list the chemical compounds that must be controlled during degassing
operations. Chemicals listed in Attachments II and III are routed to a flare (EPN FL‐1 or FL‐3), and a Carbon
Adsorption Unit (EPN CA‐1), respectively, for vapor destruction.

Section 3 Emission Calculations
This section describes and summarizes the air emissions associated with this permit
amendment application. The emission rate calculations provided in this section were
previously submitted with the PCP SP registration issued in December 2018.
Installation of the VCUs (EPNs: VCU‐2 and VCU‐3) only affects barge degassing and cleaning
emissions controlled by the Flares (EPNs: FL‐1 and FL‐3). As such, only emissions associated
with the VCUs that will replace the flares are provided. A summary of the maximum allowable
emission rates (MAER) for the VCUs is provided in the Excel workbook Form PI‐1 General
Application located in Appendix A. Detailed emission calculation tables are provided in
Appendix B.
3.1 VCU Products of Combustion Emissions of NOX and CO products of combustion from the two VCUs were calculated using
the maximum hourly and annual heat of combustion, as well as vendor‐provided emissions
factors. Per the vendor guarantee, the VCUs have a combined maximum heat input rating of
135 MMBtu/hr, which was used in the maximum hourly calculations. For the annual
calculations, a review of the emissions inventories for the previous five years indicated that the
maximum annual heat of combustion is not expected to exceed 85,356 MMBtu/yr. The vendor‐
guaranteed NOX and CO emission factors of 0.076 lb NOX/MMBtu and 0.3 lb CO/MMBtu were
then multiplied by the respective hourly and annual heats of combustion in order to determine
the maximum allowable emission rates using the equations below.
Hourly Emissions (lb/hr) = (Maximum Heat Release, MMBtu/hr) × (Emission Factor,
lb/MMBtu)
Annual Emissions (tpy) = (Average Heat Release, MMBtu/yr) × (Emission Factor,
lb/MMBtu) × (1 ton/2000 lb)
Additionally, SO2 emissions from supplemental assist natural gas were calculated using the
maximum supplemental natural gas flow rate and the SO2 emission factor from US EPA AP‐42
Chapter 1.4 – Natural Gas Combustion Table 1.4‐2. Note that since the NOX and CO emission
limits are based on maximum unit capacity, the supplemental assist natural gas will not
contribute to additional NOX or CO emissions.
The maximum hourly and annual NOX, CO, and SO2 emissions from the new VCUs (EPNs:
VCU‐2 and VCU‐3) are provided in Table B‐1 in Appendix B.
TRC Environmental Corporation | Southwest Shipyard, L.P. 3‐2 \\HOUSTON‐FP1\DATA\PROJECTS‐PPL\WPHOU\PJT2\340745\0000\R340745.0000‐001.DOCX 10/29/2019 Final November 2019
3.2 Marine Barge Degassing and Cleaning Emission Calculations Short‐term VOC emissions for controlled barge degassing and cleaning operations were
calculated using the ideal gas law, which is consistent with the current NSR Permit 9442 basis
for the VOC vapors sent to the flares for control. The maximum rated flow rate of 90,000
standard cubic feet per hour (scfh), which is 1,500 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) for the
new control equipment, as well as a maximum temperature of 100°F (560 °Rankine) was
utilized. The vapor pressure at 100°F (560 °Rankine) was utilized as well, representing the
short‐term maximum vapor pressure. It was conservatively assumed that the entire barge
vapor was saturated with vapors for the handled products.
The maximum hourly emission rate using these variables was calculated for each chemical
product that is currently authorized, and then the vendor‐guaranteed VOC DRE of 99.95
percent was applied to determine the maximum potential emission rate for all handled chemical
compounds. The list of chemicals used in the VOC emission calculations are the compounds
that were authorized to be routed to the flares (equipment being replaced) as specified in the
NSR Permit 9442, Attachment II.
The annual VOC emissions were calculated using the same ideal gas law methodology that is
consistent with the current NSR Permit 9442 basis for the VOC vapors sent to control. For the
annual emissions estimates, the average barge size of 20,000 barrels (bbls), the vapor pressure at
the annual average temperature of 70°F (530 °Rankine), vapor pressure at 70°F (530 °Rankine),
and the maximum number of barges degassed annually was utilized. It was conservatively
assumed that the entire barge vapor space was saturated with the vapors from the handled
products. The vendor‐guaranteed VOC DRE of 99.95 percent was applied to determine the
potential emission rate for all handled compounds. The worst‐case annual emissions were
calculated using the total annual number of handled barges for all products individually, and
then conservatively based on the chemical compound with the highest potential annual
emissions.
The maximum hourly VOC emissions from the new VCUs are provided in Table B‐2 in
Appendix B. The annual VOC emissions from the new VCUs are provided in Table B‐3 in
Appendix B.
3.3 Equipment Leak Fugitives There is no significant change to the number of components used in the piping to the VCUs
(VCU‐2 and VCU‐3) in comparison to the piping to the existing flares (FL‐1 and FL‐3).
Furthermore, it is anticipated that there will be an overall reduction in the number of
components used in the piping to the VCUs (EPNs VCU‐2 and VCU‐3) in comparison to the
TRC Environmental Corporation | Southwest Shipyard, L.P. 3‐3 \\HOUSTON‐FP1\DATA\PROJECTS‐PPL\WPHOU\PJT2\340745\0000\R340745.0000‐001.DOCX 10/29/2019 Final November 2019
piping to the flares (EPNs FL‐1 and FL‐3). Southwest Shipyard has estimated that there will be
a reduction in approximately 150 piping components associated with this project. As such, no
change in equipment leak fugitives is proposed with this project to maintain a conservative
estimate of the potential equipment leak fugitive emissions.

Section 4 Updates to Permit Conditions and MAERT
This section lists the proposed updates to the NSR Permit 9442 special conditions as a result of
this amendment and the proposed ERC project. The proposed revisions to the permit language
were provided by the TCEQ Emissions Banking and Trading Program as follows:
a. Standard Permit Number 154687 must be fully incorporated into NSR Permit
Number 9442.
i. The facility‐specific maximum allowable emission rates for the new units,
EPNs VCU‐2 and VCU‐3 must be added to NSR Permit 9442. The
following footnote must be added to the emission limit.
1. The authorized emissions have been used in the issuance of Emission Reduction Credits and cannot be increased during the service life of the
facility. (EBT Project 413652 and Permit Project XXXXXX).
b. Remove the facility‐specific maximum allowable emission rates for FIN
BRGCLN/EPN FL‐3 and FIN BRGCLN/EPN FL‐1. You will also need to
document the permanent shutdown of these units by adding the following
special condition to the permit.
i. Emissions Reduction Credits (ERCs) were issued for the permanent shutdown of the following facilities: FIN BRGCLN/EPN FL‐3 and FIN BRGCLN/EPN FL‐1.
The permit holder shall not restart or operate at the site any the facilities
associated with the issuance of the ERCs, regardless of whether the certified
ERCs are used, are transferred, or expire. (EBT Project 413652 and Permit
Project XXXXXX).
If the units have not been removed, also add the following special condition:
ii. This limit is effective until the facility is permanently removed from the site.
The permit project number should replace XXXXXX in the language provided
above. Provide a copy of the updated special conditions.
Note regarding fugitives: There will be an overall decrease in the number of components used
in the piping to the Vapor Combustors (VCU‐2 and VCU‐3) in comparison to the piping to the
flares (FL‐1 and FL‐3); however, this decrease was not quantified in terms of VOC emissions
(i.e., VOC TPY) and was not used in the generation of Emissions Reduction Credits (ERCs). As
such, there should not be any special condition relating to the fugitive components.

Vendor guaranteed NOX emission factor per VCU stack
Based on the maximum annual heat of combustion from the last
five years' emissions inventory queries.
Assist Gas is Natural Gas; ranges from 0-300 scfm
Natural gas fuel heat content per EPA AP-42.
The hourly Vapor Combustor Unit (VCU) NOX and CO combustion emissions are based on the vendor-specified VCU maximum heat capacity,
and vendor guaranteed NOX and CO emission factors. The annual NOX and CO combustion emissions are based on the maximum annual heat
of combustion from the last five years' emissions inventory (EI) queries, and vendor guaranteed NOX and CO emission factors.
The hourly SO2 combustion emissions are based on the maximum assist natural gas flow rate, and the SO2 emission factor from EPA AP-42
Emission Factors, Chapter 1.4 - Natural Gas Combustion, Table 1.4-2. The emission factor is based on 100-percent conversion of fuel sulfur to
SO2 and assumes sulfur content is natural gas of 4,000 grains/106 scf. The annual SO2 combustion emissions are based on the hourly SO2
emission rate and annual operating hours of 8,760.

4,000 grains/106 scf (0.40 gr/100 scf). The SO2 emission factor
from AP-42 was converted to 4,000 grains/106 scf by multiplying
the SO2 emission factor by the ratio of the site-specific sulfur
content (4,000 grains/106 scf) to 2,000 grains/10

Short-term VOC emissions from controlled barge degassing and cleaning operations were calculated using the ideal gas law, which is consistent with the current NSR permit
basis. The maximum rated flow rate of 90,000 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM), as well as a maximum temperature of 100 °F (560 °Rankine) was utilized. The vapor
pressure at 100 °F (560 °Rankine) was utilized as well, representing the short-term maximum temperature. It was conservatively assumed that the entire barge vapor was
saturated with vapors for the handled products. The maximum hourly emission rate using these variables was calculated for each chemical product that is authorized, and
then the vendor-guaranteed destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.95-percent was applied to determine the maximum potential emission rate for all handled
chemical compounds. Note that the VCUs have a maximum rated heat capacity of 135 MMBtu/hr combined. As such, Southwest Shipyard will reduce the hourly degassing
rate of certain compounds that would result in a heat rating above the vapor combustor’s maximum rated heat rating in order to ensure proper operation of the equipment.

Short-term VOC emissions from controlled barge degassing and cleaning operations were calculated using the ideal gas law, which is consistent with the current NSR permit
basis. The maximum rated flow rate of 90,000 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM), as well as a maximum temperature of 100 °F (560 °Rankine) was utilized. The vapor
pressure at 100 °F (560 °Rankine) was utilized as well, representing the short-term maximum temperature. It was conservatively assumed that the entire barge vapor was
saturated with vapors for the handled products. The maximum hourly emission rate using these variables was calculated for each chemical product that is authorized, and
then the vendor-guaranteed destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.95-percent was applied to determine the maximum potential emission rate for all handled
chemical compounds. Note that the VCUs have a maximum rated heat capacity of 135 MMBtu/hr combined. As such, Southwest Shipyard will reduce the hourly degassing
rate of certain compounds that would result in a heat rating above the vapor combustor’s maximum rated heat rating in order to ensure proper operation of the equipment.

Quc (lb/hr) = (Vapor Pressure, psi) (Maximum Volumetric Flow Rate, ft3/hr)/(10.73 psia. ft
3 / lb-mol.ºR) (Maximum Temperature, ºR)) (Molecular Weight) (Saturation Factor)
Quc (lb/hr) = 4.02 (psi) X 87456 ((ft3/hr) / (10.73 psia . ft3 / lb-mol.ºR) X 560 (ºR)) X 144.22 (lb/lb-mol) X 1.0
Quc (lb/hr) = 8437.5 (lb/hr)
Qc = (1-EDRE ) Q uc
Qc = (1-0.9995) X 8437.5 (lb/hr)
Qc = 4.22 (lb/hr)

Annual VOC emissions from controlled barge degassing and cleaning operations were calculated using the ideal gas law, which is consistent with the current NSR permit
basis. The annual VOC emissions were based on the average barge size of 20,000 barrels (bbls), the vapor pressure at the annual average temperature of 70 °F, and the
maximum number of barges degassed annually. It was conservatively assumed that the entire vapor space was saturated with the vapors from the chemical products that are
authorized to be handled. The vendor-guaranteed destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.95% was applied to determine the potential emission rate for all handled
compounds. The worst-case emissions were calculated using the total annual number of handled barges for all products individually, and then conservatively using the
product with the highest potential annual emissions.

basis. The annual VOC emissions were based on the average barge size of 20,000 barrels (bbls), the vapor pressure at the annual average temperature of 70 °F, and the
maximum number of barges degassed annually. It was conservatively assumed that the entire vapor space was saturated with the vapors from the chemical products that are
authorized to be handled. The vendor-guaranteed destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.95% was applied to determine the potential emission rate for all handled
compounds. The worst-case emissions were calculated using the total annual number of handled barges for all products individually, and then conservatively using the
product with the highest potential annual emissions.

Air dispersion modeling using the USEPA SCREEN3 air quality model was previously
performed for the PCP SP registration to demonstrate that the collateral increases in air
contaminants as a result of the standard permit were protective of the National Ambient Air
Quality Standard (NAAQS) and public health and welfare. As such, the previously submitted
AQA was used to perform a qualitative assessment of impacts for the subject NSR Permit 9442
amendment application. The purpose of this amendment application is to consolidate by
incorporation PCP Standard Permit No. 154687 into NSR Permit 9442. No changes to any other
sources are requested as part of this amendment.
Incorporation of the PCP SP results in an increase in emissions of products of combustion from
the new VCUs, and the following pollutants were evaluated for short‐term (hourly) and annual
emission rate increases; nitrogen oxides (NOX), carbon monoxide (CO), and sulfur dioxide (SO2).
The PCP SP incorporation proposes a large decrease in volatile organic compounds (VOC)
emissions due to a higher VOC DRE for the VCUs, and therefore there will be no increase in
pollutants (i.e., VOC) requiring a state health effects analysis.
For the collateral increase in NAAQS pollutants, Southwest Shipyard performed a SCREEN3
modeling analysis that demonstrates that impacts of products of combustion (NOX, CO, and SO2
emissions) from the VCUs are below the NAAQS Significant Impact Levels (SILs) for all
pollutants and averaging periods, and therefore will not cause or contribute to an exceedance of
the NAAQS. Results of the analysis are summarized in the following sections to provide a

qualitative assessment of impacts for the minor NSR NAAQS and State Property Line standard
for SO2.
State NAAQS Analysis The model predicted concentrations obtained using the modeling approach and methodologies
described in the attached PCP SP AQA are presented in Table 1 to demonstrate compliance
with applicable NAAQS for CO, NO2, and SO2 emissions. A preliminary impact analysis was
conducted for the 1‐hr and 8‐hr CO NAAQS, 1‐hr and annual NO2 NAAQS, and 1‐hr, 3‐hr, 24‐
hr, and annual SO2 NAAQS. Full conversion of NOX to NO2 (Tier I) as assumed for the 1‐hr and
annual NO2 NAAQS analysis. Table 1 compares the GLCMAX with the NAAQS SIL for each
evaluated criteria pollutant.

The predicted concentrations of all criteria pollutants evaluated were less than the SILs for all
applicable averaging periods and a full‐impact refined analysis is not required for these
pollutants. Therefore, the proposed project emissions will not cause or contribute to a violation
of the NAAQS and no further evaluation is necessary.
State Property Line Analysis A State Property Line analysis was performed by modeling SO2 emission increases and
evaluating the maximum 1‐hour average GLCMAX in comparison to 2‐percent of the 30‐minute
State Property Line Standard for Harris County for SO2. Table 2 presents the results.

The new Vapor Combustor Units (VCUs) are enclosed flares and were therefore modeled using the flare source characterization in EPA’s SCREEN3 dispersion model. This method utilizes the height of release and the gross heat release from the flare. The height of release is the actual height of the flare tip. The model uses the gross heat release from the flare together with a fixed exit gas temperature and exit gas velocity to internally calculate the effective diameter. The modeled heat release (BTU/hour) represents the maximum hourly heat input per VCU stack used in the maximum hourly emission calculations. The proposed location of the new control equipment, as shown in the plot plan, was used to determine the distance to the property line. The new control equipment will be located is very close proximity to the existing flares, which will be shutdown from the barge degassing area.

1 3-hr, 8-h, 24-hr, and annual unit impacts were calculated using the EPA adjustment factors of 0.9, 0.7, 0.4, and 0.08, respectively. Additionally, the annual unit impacts has been multiplied by (2000 lbs/ton / 8760 hours/year) in order to convert from the unit hourly emission rate.
II Models Used and Modeling Techniques: The U.S. EPA SCREEN3 model (version dated 13043) was used to predict the maximum predicted concentrations for the modeled sources. The following model options were used in the application of the SCREEN3 model:-- Regulatory default options (i.e. mixing height and anemometer height);-- Flat terrain;-- All Stability and Wind Speed Meteorological default options;-- Rural option (conservative default);-- Building wake effects (downwash) was utilized in this analysis to determine if stack discharges might become caught in the turbulent wakes of nearby structures. -- For this analysis, a unit emission rates of 1 lb/hour (0.126 g/s) was modeled. For 3-hour, 8-hour, 24-hour and annual averaging periods, the SCREEN3 1-hour concentration estimates were converted to the averaging period of the applicable air quality standards using EPA multiplying factors.
The SCREEN3 predicted maximum concentrations for the modeled sources occurs beyond the property line, and therefore the maximum predicted impacts are the same for the identical replacement control equipment units.

A NAAQS analysis was performed to demonstrate compliance with applicable standards and guideline concentrations for offsite impacts of criteria pollutants (NO2, CO, and SO2). The proposed project increases of the criteria air pollutants were evaluated against the NAAQS SILs to determine if impacts were less than the de minimis thresholds. The modeling results of the NAAQS preliminary impact analysis were determined using the SCREEN3 predicted unit impact multipliers (shown in Table C-2) for the applicable averaging periods. Table C-3 summarizes the modeled project emission rates for criteria pollutants, and the NAAQS preliminary impact analysis results for comparison to all of the applicable NAAQS SILs. NOx emissions were conservatively assumed to be 100-percent NO2.
The NAAQS significant impact modeling results indicate that the SCREEN3 predicted GLCMAX associated with the proposed project emissions were less than the SIL for all pollutants and all applicable averaging periods. Therefore, a full-impact refined NAAQS analysis is not required for any pollutants. As such, the project will not cause or contribute to a violation of the applicable NAAQS standards, and the State NAAQS demonstration is complete.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Permit Number 9442 EMISSION STANDARDS AND OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS 1. This permit authorizes emissions only from those points listed in the attached table
entitled “Emission Sources - Maximum Allowable Emission Rates,” and the facilities covered by this permit are authorized to emit subject to the emission rate limits on that table and other operating requirements specified in the special conditions.
2. Non-fugitive emissions from relief valves, safety valves, or rupture discs of gases
containing volatile organic compounds (VOC) at a concentration of greater than 1 percent are not authorized by this permit unless authorized on the MAERT. Any releases directly to atmosphere from relief valves, safety valves, or rupture discs of gases containing VOC at a concentration greater than 1 weight percent are not consistent with good practice for minimizing emissions. (03/08)
3. Except as provided for below, the use of compounds at all emissions sources
including (but not limited to) degassing, de-heeling, drumming, storage, and tank truck loading is limited to those identified in Attachments I, II, and III. Modifications or construction of new facilities at the site that result in emission increases of the chemicals listed in Attachments I, II, or III or chemicals currently in use and previously authorized through the procedure below can only be approved through the use of the procedure below (if no physical modification/new construction) or through permit amendment. New compounds may be added through the use of the procedure below, 30 TAC Chapter 106, or 30 TAC Chapter 116. (03/08)
A. Short-term (pounds per hour [lb/hr]) and annual (TPY) emissions and
calculations shall be completed for each chemical at each affected source. Emission rates (ER) shall be calculated in accordance with the following methods, as documented in the permit amendment application (PI-1 dated August 8, 2007). The calculated ER shall not exceed the maximum allowable emissions rate at any emission point.
B. The Effect Screening Level (ESL) for the material shall be obtained from the
current TCEQ ESL list or by written request to the TCEQ Toxicology Section.
C. The total emissions of any compound from all emission points in this permit must satisfy one of the following conditions:
(1) The total maximum ER from all sources is less than 0.04 lb/hr and the
ESL greater than 2 ug/m3; or
SPECIAL CONDITIONS Permit Number 9442 Page 2
(2) (ER/ESL)N I < (ER/ESL)Ei
(ER/ESL)N i = maximum hourly ER of the new compound
divided by its ESL at emission source i
(ER/ESL)Ei = the highest ratio of any previously authorized
compound hourly ER divided by its ESL at emission source i
i = emission sources including (but not limited to)
degassing, de-heeling, drumming, storage, and tank truck loading
The above equation must be satisfied for each source where the new compound is emitted.
D. The permit holder shall maintain records of the information below and the
demonstrations in steps A though C above. The following documentation is required for each compound:
(1) Chemical name(s), composition, and chemical abstract registry number
if available. (2) True vapor pressure at maximum hourly and annual average storage
temperature. (3) Molecular weight. (4) Storage tanks, loading areas, and fugitive areas where the material is to
be handled and the emission control device to be utilized.

Control must be maintained until the concentration for the chemical being degassed is no greater than the limit as specified in Attachment II or Attachment III prior to the barge being allowed to vent to the atmosphere. (03/08)
SPECIAL CONDITIONS Permit Number 9442 Page 4 10. The barge vent stream must be sampled to verify acceptable VOC concentration for
a chemical as specified in Attachment II or Attachment III prior to uncontrolled venting. The measurement of the volume of purge gas shall not include any make-up air introduced into the control device. The VOC sampling and analysis shall be performed using an instrument with a flame ionization detector (FID), or a TCEQ-approved alternative detector. The instrument/FID must meet all requirements specified in Section 8.1 of EPA Method 21 (Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 60, Appendix A [40 CRF Part 60]). Sampling shall be performed as follows: (03/08)
A. Immediately prior to performing sampling, the instrument/FID shall be
calibrated with zero and span calibration gas mixtures. Zero gas shall be certified to contain between 0 and 10 ppmv total hydrocarbons. Span calibration gas shall be methane at a concentration within between 34,000 and 50,000 ppmv, and certified by the manufacturer to be ± 2 percent accurate. Calibration error for the zero and span calibration gas checks must be less than 5 percent of the span calibration gas value before sampling may be conducted. The results of these checks shall be recorded.
B. The sampling point shall be upstream of the inlet to the control device. The
sample ports and the collection system must be designed and operated such that there is no air leakage into the sample probe or the collection system downstream of the barge being purged.

reported pursuant to 30 TAC § § 101.201 or 101.211, and shall be cleaned up immediately to minimize air emissions. (8/03)
CONTINUOUS DEMONSTRATION OF COMPLIANCE 19. The permit holder shall maintain daily operational records during degassing
operations including atmospheric venting. Emission calculations for each chemical degassed or vented and total VOCs from all degassing operations including atmospheric venting shall be maintained on a monthly basis and rolling 12 month period. Monthly records shall at least include the following: (03/08)
A. Identification name or number of the barge; B. Name of the chemical in the barge; C. Control method used (if applicable); D. Molecular weight of each chemical handled;
E. Vapor pressure of each chemical handled in psi at monthly average temperature for Houston as detailed in EPA document AP-42 Table 7.1-7;
F. Time and date of barge degassing or venting commencement;
G. Time and date when barge degassing or venting complete;
H. Volume of barge tanks degassed to control;
I. Concentration of the degassing chemical measured in ppmv prior to the
barge being allowed to vent to the atmosphere; and J. Volume of barge tanks vented to atmosphere; Compliance Assurance Monitoring 20. The following requirements apply to capture systems for the flares designated as
EPNs FL-1 and FL-3. (10/10) A. If used to control VOC, either:
SPECIAL CONDITIONS Permit Number 9442 Page 10
(1) Conduct a once a month visual, audible, and/or olfactory inspection of the capture system to verify there are no leaking components in the capture system; or
(2) Once a year, verify the capture system is leak-free by inspecting in
accordance with 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A, Test Method 21. Leaks shall be indicated by an instrument reading greater than or equal to 500 ppmv above background.
B. The control device shall not have a bypass. or
If there is a bypass for the control device, comply with either of the following requirements:
(1) Install a flow indicator that records and verifies zero flow at least
once every fifteen minutes immediately downstream of each valve that if opened would allow a vent stream to bypass the control device and be emitted, either directly or indirectly, to the atmosphere; or
(2) Once a month, inspect the valves, verifying the position of the
valves and the condition of the car seals prevent flow out the bypass.
A deviation shall be reported if the monitoring or inspections indicate bypass of the control device.
C. Records of the inspections required shall be maintained and if the results
of any of the above inspections are not satisfactory, the permit holder shall promptly take necessary corrective action.

Re: Permit Amendment
Permit Number: 9442
Southwest Shipyard, Channelview, Harris County
Regulated Entity Number: RN100248749
Customer Reference Number: CN600135354
Dear Mr. Griesel,
The following is Southwest Shipyard’s (SWSY) response to your letter dated November 22, 2019
requesting additional information on the subject Permit No. 9442 amendment application for the barge
cleaning facility located in Channelview, Harris County, Texas. To facilitate the review of SWSY’s
responses, the questions in your letter have been included in italics.
1. Special Condition 7 states that “Vapors requiring control associated with the operations from
Dock Nos. 1 shall be route to Dock No. FL‐1 only”. As stated in Section 1.2 of the amendment
application, the purpose of the amendment is to “Delete the flares (EPNs: FL‐1 and FL‐3)…and
replace with the new VCUs (EPNs: VCU‐2 and VCU‐3)”. Please indicate to which VCU the vapors
associated with the operations of Dock No. 1 will be routed.
o Additionally, please clarify if “Dock No. FL‐1” refers to the flare FL‐1 or a separate EPN.
SWSY Response: This special condition is no longer applicable and should be deleted from the
permit. The vapors associated with the operations at Dock No. 1 may be routed to either of the
new Vapor Combustor Units (VCUs) (EPNs: VCU‐2 and VCU‐3) for the control of the barge and
marine vessel degassing operations. Historically, the reference to “Dock No. FL‐1” refers to the flare
FL‐1 (EPN: FL‐1).
2. Special Condition 16.B. states that Tanks A117 and A119 are equipped with a “smokeless flare
system”. Please clarify if this system is the same as EPN FL‐1 and FL‐3, and if FL‐1 and FL‐3
constitutes the entirety of the flare system that is mentioned
o Additionally, please clarify where the vapors associated with Tanks A117 and A119 are
being routed.
SWSY Response: Special Condition 17.B is applicable to pressurized storage tanks A117 and A119
that when in service, maintained a pressure that was sufficient at all times to prevent vapor or gas
loss to the atmosphere. The condition only requires venting to a control device if sufficient
Mr. Joseph Griesel
Air Permits Division, MC‐163
December 3, 2019 Page 2
pressurization was not maintained and venting with a relief valve was utilized. This condition is
unrelated to the Flares that are the subject of this amendment (EPNs: FL‐1 and FL‐3). Additionally,
these tanks have had a change of service such that this condition is no longer applicable.
Tank A117 has had a change of service authorized by 30 TAC 106.472 and is no longer a pressurized
tank and does not require vapor control. Tank A119 is out of service (OOS) and has been removed
the site. These items will be addressed in the next NSR permit renewal.
3. Once my review is finished and the permit is issued, an electronic copy will be sent to the
Company Official Contact and Technical Contact via email. Hard copies will not be sent, unless
requested. Please indicate whether an electronic version only will be sufficient, or whether a hard
copy will be requested also.
SWSY Response: An electronic version only will be sufficient. Hard copies are not requested.
Please contact me if you have further questions.
Sincerely,

From: Stanko, ElizabethSent: Wednesday, December 18, 2019 1:00 PMTo: Joseph GrieselCc: Bernard Diaz; Rebecca ParteeSubject: RE: Southwest Shipyard, NSR Permit 9442 (Project 308754) Guidance Document Concerning PM
Emissions Attachments: Table B-1 Combustion Emissions Updated with PM Emissions.pdf; Table C-3 NAAQS Modeling
Results Updated with PM Emissions.pdf
Mr. Griesel,
Attached you will find an updated emission calculation Table B‐1 with the PM/PM10/PM2.5 emissions quantified for the vapor combustors. Additionally, we have attached the updated modeling impacts Table C‐3. The model predicted impacts from PM10 and PM2.5 emissions were assessed qualitatively using the impacts analysis that was previously submitted to TCEQ in support of the PCP SP Project No. 154687 to demonstrate compliance with the PM10 and PM2.5 NAAQS.
We understand the next step will be Public Notice to add the PM/PM10/PM2.5 emissions to NSR Permit 9442. Please let me know what the anticipated timeline in for the NORI/NAPD after you coordinate with Ms. Partee. I spoke with Rebecca earlier today and mentioned Southwest Shipyard would like to move two degassing sources on NSR 43774 (EPNs ST1 and FUGST1) to NSR Permit 9442 via a Permit Revision to NSR 43774 and this subject permitting action. These degassing sources are “out‐of‐place” on NSR 43774, which is a Coating and Blasting Permit and should be managed with the other degassing sources on NSR 9442. Southwest Shipyard would only proceed with this addition if it could fit into the proposed time line, i.e., during the NORI, and we don’t want to delay issuance of the amended NSR 9442.
Please let me know if you have any questions or require additional information to complete your review.
Thank you, Elizabeth

SO2 emission factor assumes sulfur content of natural gas is 4,000 grains/106 scf (0.40 gr/100 scf). The SO2 emission factor from AP-42 was converted to 4,000
grains/106 scf by multiplying the SO2 emission factor by the ratio of the site-specific
sulfur content (4,000 grains/106 scf) to 2,000 grains/106 scf.

TABLE C-3: Modeling Results - NAAQS Analysis
24-hr
NOX CO
A NAAQS analysis was performed to demonstrate compliance with applicable standards and guideline concentrations for offsite impacts of criteria pollutants (NO2, CO, and SO2). The proposed project increases of the criteria air pollutants were evaluated against the NAAQS SILs to determine if impacts were less than the de minimis thresholds. The modeling results of the NAAQS preliminary impact analysis were determined using the SCREEN3 predicted unit impact multipliers (shown in Table C-2) for the applicable averaging periods. Table C-3 summarizes the modeled project emission rates for criteria pollutants, and the NAAQS preliminary impact analysis results for comparison to all of the applicable NAAQS SILs. NOx emissions were conservatively assumed to be 100-percent NO2.
The NAAQS significant impact modeling results indicate that the SCREEN3 predicted GLCMAX associated with the proposed project emissions were less than the SIL for all pollutants and all applicable averaging periods. Therefore, a full-impact refined NAAQS analysis is not required for any pollutants. As such, the project will not cause or contribute to a violation of the applicable NAAQS standards, and the State NAAQS demonstration is complete.

I. Public Notice Applicability
For public notice applicability, the agency does not include consolidation or incorporation of any previously authorized facility or activity (PBR, standard permits, etc.), changes to permitted allowable emission rates when exclusively due to changes to standardized emission factors, or reductions in emissions which are not enforceable through the amended permit. Thus, the total emissions increase would be the sum of emissions increases under the amended permit and the emissions decreases under the amended permit for each air contaminant.
The table below will generate emission increases based on the values represented on the "Unit Types - Emission Rates" sheet. Use the "yes" and "no" options in column B of the "Unit Types - Emission Rates" worksheet to indicate if a unit's proposed change of emissions should be included in these totals.
Notes:1. Emissions of PM, PM10, and/or PM2.5 may have been previously quantified and authorized as PM, PM10,and/or PM2.5. These emissions will be speciated based on current guidance and policy to demonstrate compliance with current standards and public notice requirements may change during the permit review.
2. All renewals require public notice.
A. Application Type
B. Project Increases and Public Notice Thresholds (for Initial and Amendment Projects)
NoDo the facilities handle, load, unload, dry, manufacture, or process grain, seed, legumes, or vegetable fibers (agricultural facilities)?
Is this an application for a minor permit amendment?Is there any change in character of emissions in this application (a new criteria pollutant or a new VOC or PM species)?Is there a new air contaminant in this application?
This row is optional. If you do not think the table below accurately represents public notice applicability increases for your project, provide discussion here (1000 characters).

Importance: High
Dear Mr. Griesel, The modeling results Table C‐3 displayed the individual emissions from each VCU for clarity of the modeling demonstration, however the impacts were summed for each VCU to demonstrate compliance with the NAAQS. Given the summation used in the modeling analysis, the full hourly emissions limit could be emitted from one VCU unit and would still result in acceptable impacts. This is because we used SCREEN3 (single‐source model) and summed the impacts, and the unit impact multipliers are identical for each unit. For example, if 10.26 lb NOx/hour were emitted from one stack (instead of 5.13 lb NOx/hour from each), the impacts would be identical as shown in the Table C‐3.
10.26 lb/hour x 0.379 µg/m3 per lb/hr = 3.89 µg/m3. I have updated this table (attached) to show the combine hourly and annual limits, and the impacts are unchanged for the analysis originally submitted. As such, can you please combine the hourly VCU‐2 and VCU‐3 MAERT limits as shown in the application, which is analogous to how the Flares (FL‐1, FL‐3) being replaced are currently permitted. This is necessary as the barge degassing operations use the Flares (and replacement VCUs) interchangeably during barge cleaning operations (FIN BRGCLN), and it would be difficult from a recordkeeping perspective to track these separately. Regarding the Special Conditions, these are acceptable, and we just noticed one typo in SC 15A.
Thank you, Elizabeth Elizabeth Stanko, CCM Senior Project Manager

TABLE C-3: Modeling Results - NAAQS Analysis

NOX CO
A NAAQS analysis was performed to demonstrate compliance with applicable standards and guideline concentrations for offsite impacts of criteria pollutants (NO 2, CO, and SO2). The proposed project increases of the criteria air pollutants were evaluated against the NAAQS SILs to determine if impacts were less than the de minimis thresholds. The modeling results of the NAAQS preliminary impact analysis were determined using the SCREEN3 predicted unit impact multipliers (shown in Table C-2) for the applicable averaging periods. Table C-3 summarizes the modeled project emission rates for criteria pollutants, and the NAAQS preliminary impact analysis results for comparison to all of the applicable NAAQS SILs. NOx emissions were conservatively assumed to be 100-percent NO2.
The NAAQS significant impact modeling results indicate that the SCREEN3 predicted GLC MAX associated with the proposed project emissions were less than the SIL for all pollutants and all applicable averaging periods. Therefore, a full-impact refined NAAQS analysis is not required for any pollutants. As such, the project will not cause or contribute to a violation of the applicable NAAQS standards, and the State NAAQS demonstration is complete.
