Notice of Final Decision to Issue Federal Minor New Source Review 
Permits to Six Sources on the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation Owned 
and Operated by Anadarko Uintah Midstream, LLC

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of final agency action.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces that the Environmental Protection Agency 
(EPA) issued final permit decisions for six Clean Air Act Minor New 
Source Review (MNSR) Permits in Indian country to Anadarko Uintah 
Midstream, LLC, (Anadarko) for the Archie Bench Compressor Station, the 
Bitter Creek Compressor Station, the East Bench Compressor Station, the 
North Compressor Station, the North East Compressor Station and the 
Sage Grouse Compressor Station. These permits incorporate emissions 
control requirements originally established in a 2008 federal consent 
decree into federally enforceable permits, which is a step toward 
allowing the consent decree to be terminated. Consistent with the 
federal consent decree, the permits include enforceable carbon monoxide 
emissions control efficiency requirements for the 4-stroke lean-burn 
compressor engines using catalytic emissions control systems and 
enforceable requirements to install and operate only instrument air-
driven or low-bleed pneumatic controllers. The permit for the Bitter 
Creek Compressor Station also includes enforceable requirements for the 
installation and operation of low-emission tri-ethylene glycol (TEG) 
dehydration systems for control of volatile organic compound emissions.

DATES: The EPA issued final MNSR permit decisions for the six 
compressor stations on December 7, 2018. The permits became effective 
on that date. Pursuant to section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, 42 
U.S.C. 7607(b)(1), judicial review of this final permit decision, to 
the extent it is available, may be sought by filing a petition for 
review in the United States Court of Appeal for the Tenth Circuit by 
April 15, 2019.

decisions on December 7, 2018. All conditions of the Anadarko permits, 
as initially issued by the EPA on June 7, 2018, are final and effective 
as of December 7, 2018.
