Dear Mr. Natchees:

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 8 is proposing to issue a synthetic minor permit for the Anadarko Uintah Midstream, LLC. (Anadarko), Ouray Compressor Station on the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation. As requested by Anadarko, this permit would incorporate enforceable requirements for the installation and operation of one low-emission tri-ethylene glycol (TEG) dehydration system, and one flare for control of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from 15 storage tanks. Anadarko also requested enforceable requirements to install and operate only instrument air-driven or low-bleed/no-bleed pneumatic controllers. This permit is only intended to incorporate requested emission limits and provisions from the permit application for existing emissions units operating at the facility.

A public comment period for the proposed permit will begin on July 30, 2019 and end on August 28, 2019.

We have enclosed a CD and paper copy containing the proposed permit and supporting documentation, and we ask that you please make this material available for public review until the end of the public comment period. Comments may be submitted via email to R8AirPermitting@epa.gov, or through https://www.regulations.gov (Docket ID #EPA-R08-OAR-2018-0330). In addition, we have provided copies of the bulletin board public notice announcement and would appreciate it if you would post this announcement in prominent locations in your area. All of these documents will also be available for review in electronic format on our website at: https://www.epa.gov/caa-permitting/caa-permit­ public-comment-opportunities-region-8.
