Dear Ms. Ruediger:

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 8 has completed its review of Targa Badlands, LLC's application for the Blue Buttes Compressor Station and Pump Station to obtain an initial 
Clean Air Act Title V operating permit pursuant to the Title V Operating Permit Program at                            40 CFR part 71 (Part 71). The EPA received the complete application on February 19, 2014.

The draft Part 71 operating permit, the corresponding Statement of Basis and all other supporting documents are accessible for your review at http://www.epa.gov/caa-permitting/caa-permit-public-comment-opportunities-region-8. The regulations at 40 CFR 71.11(d) require that the applicant, the public and affected states have the opportunity to submit written comments on any draft Part 71 operating permit. All written comments submitted within 30 calendar days after the public notice is published will be considered by the agency in making its final permit decision. The public comment period will end on Wednesday, November 20, 2019.
      
The conditions contained in the permit will become effective and enforceable by the agency if the permit is issued final. If you are unable to accept any term or condition of the draft permit, please submit your written comments, along with the reason(s) for non-acceptance to:
