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. 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 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.

1.4 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

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 

authorization and is therefore not part of this review.  Therefore, contemporaneous 

netting is not required, and NNSR review is not applicable.

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.

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.

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

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.

III. Sample Calculations

Hourly NOx emissions = (Hourly Maximum Heat Input, MMBTU/hr) (NOx emission Factor, lb/MMBTU)

Hourly NOx emissions = 135 (MMBTU/hr) X 0.076 (lb/MMBTU)

Hourly NOx emissions = 10.26 (lb/hr)

Annual NOx emissions = (Annual Average Heat Input, MMBTU/year) (NOx emission Factor, lb/MMBTU) (1 ton/2000 lbs)

Annual NOx emissions = 85356 (MMBTU/year) X 0.076 (lb/MMBTU) X (1 ton/2000 lbs)

Annual NOx emissions = 3.24 (tons/year)

Hourly SO2 emissions = (Hourly Maximum Assist Gas, scfm) (SO2 emission Factor, lb/MMscf) (60 min/1hr)(1 MMscf / 106 scf)

Hourly SO2 emissions = 300 (scfm) X 1.2 (lb/MMscf) X (60 min/1hr) X (1 MMscf / 10^6 scf)

Hourly SO2 emissions = 0.02 (lb/hr)

Annual SO2 emissions = (Hourly SO2 emissions, lb/hr) (Maximum operating hours, hrs/year) (1 ton/2000 lbs)

Annual SO2 emissions = 0.0216 (lb/hr) X 8,760 (hrs/year) X (1 ton/2000 lbs)

POLLUTION CONTROL PROJECT STANDARD PERMIT (PCP SP) No. 154687 EMISSION CALCULATIONS

November 2019

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.

EPNs: VCU-2 and VCU-3

CO Emissions

SO2 Emissions

Minimum VOC Destruction Efficiency

TABLE B-1: Products of Combustion Emissions from New Control Equipment

Vendor guaranteed CO emission factor per VCU stack

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/10

6 scf.

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.

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.

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

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.

TABLE C-2: Modeled Unit Impacts

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.

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.

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.

(5) Date new compound handling commenced.

(6) Material Safety Data Sheet. (7) Maximum concentration of the chemical in mole percent (or in weight

percent for fugitive areas) in the affected facilities.

E. This condition may not be used for pollutants listed on the most current Air Pollutant Watch List for Channelview or Harris County.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS Permit Number 9442 Page 3 4. The volume of vapor in terms of barrels (bbls) being degassed or vented to the

atmosphere shall be limited by the following equation: (03/08)

(BVj)i < (MDLj/SCj)i * 3,500 bbls

Where: (BVj) i = barge volume of compound j to be vented (bbls) at emission

source i. (MDLj/SCj) i = the minimum degassing level (MDL) of compound j in ppmv

as specified in Attachment II or III divided by the vent stream sample concentration (SC) of compound j in ppmv of the compound in barge at emission source i.

5. Drum loading or truck loading of a chemical shall not occur at the same time as the

chemical at Docks 1,2,3,4 or 5 is vented to the atmosphere. Operational records shall be kept on site to demonstrate compliance with this special condition. (03/08)

6. Pump rates of vapors to the appropriate control device shall not exceed

30,000 scf/hr set for impacts purposes. Pumps with a higher rate shall not be used unless an amendment is submitted and impacts are evaluated and approved.

7. Vapors requiring controls associated with the operations from Dock Nos. 1 shall be

routed to Dock No. FL-1 only. 8. A vapor collection system shall be installed which will produce a vacuum in a barge

during degassing operation. A minimum vacuum of one inch water column shall be maintained on the barge during degassing operations when the chemical being degassed is listed in Attachment II or Attachment III. The pressure/vacuum measuring device shall be calibrated at a frequency in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, or at least annually, whichever is more frequent, and shall be accurate to within two percent of span or five percent of the design value. Degassing operation shall cease immediately if a negative pressure of at least one inch of water column can not be maintained by the vacuum-assist vapor collection system. The vacuum shall be continuously monitored and recorded hourly during degassing operation. (03/08)

9. All vapor emitted from a barge containing a chemical listed in Attachment II and

Attachment III except for component fugitives must be routed to a flare (EPN FL-1 or FL-3) or a Carbon Adsorption Unit (EPN CA-1) during degassing operation for vapor destruction. 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)

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

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.

Is the process flow diagram sufficiently descriptive so the permit reviewer can determine the raw materials to be used in the process; all major processing steps and major equipment items; individual emission points associated with each process step; the location and identification of all emission abatement devices; and the location and identification of all waste streams (including wastewater streams that may have associated air emissions)?

F. Is a process description attached?Does the process description emphasize where the emissions are generated, why the emissions must be generated, what air pollution controls are used (including process design features that minimize emissions), and where the emissions enter the atmosphere?

The owner or operator of the facility must apply for authority to construct. The appropriate company official (owner, plant manager, president, vice president, or environmental director) must sign all copies of the application. The applicant’s consultant cannot sign the application. Important Note: Signatures must be original in ink, not reproduced by photocopy, fax, or other means, and must be received before any permit is issued.

G. Are detailed calculations attached? Calculations must be provided for each source with new or changing emission rates. For example, a new source, changing emission factors, decreasing emissions, consolidated sources, etc. You do not need to submit calculations for sources which are not changing emission rates with this project. Please note: the preferred format is an electronic workbook (such as Excel) with all formulas viewable for review. It can be emailed with the submittal of this application workbook.

Does the process description also explain how the facility or facilities will be operating when the maximum possible emissions are produced?

H. Is a material balance (Table 2, Form 10155) attached?

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).

If an elementary or middle school nearest to the facility is in a school district required by the Texas Education Code to have a bilingual program, a bilingual notice will be required. If there is no bilingual program required in the school nearest the facility, but children who would normally attend those schools are eligible to attend bilingual programs elsewhere in the school district, the bilingual notice will also be required. If it is determined that alternate language notice is required, you are responsible for ensuring that the publication in the alternate language is complete and accurate in that language.

From: Stanko, ElizabethSent: Monday, February 3, 2020 9:17 AMTo: Joseph GrieselCc: Bernard DiazSubject: RE: Draft Permit 9442/Project Number 308754 for Southwest Shipyard LPAttachments: Table C-3 NAAQS Modeling Results Updated 02-03-2020.pdf

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.

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 (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.
