Section 252:100-7-60.5 - [Effective 9/14/2025] Oil and natural gas sector

(a)Applicability. This PBR is issued for minor facilities and area sources in the oil and natural gas (O&NG) sector. This includes but is not limited to facilities subject to federal standards, primarily Subparts IIII, JJJJ, OOOO, and OOOOa of the federal NSPS, 40 CFR Part 60, and Subparts HH and ZZZZ of the federal NESHAP, 40 CFR Part 63, as cited in this PBR and incorporated by reference in OAC 252:100-2 and Appendix Q to Chapter 100. Specifically, this PBR applies to the following:

(1)Eligible minor facilities and area sources. New and existing minor facilities and area sources in the O&NG sector are eligible for this PBR, provided they comply with the conditions in (A) through (G) of this paragraph.

(A) The facility has actual emissions of 40 TPY or less of each regulated air pollutant, except HAPs.

(B) The facility has potential emissions of each regulated air pollutant, except HAPs, that are less than the emission levels that require prevention of significant deterioration (PSD), nonattainment new source review (NNSR), and Part 70 permits.

(C) The facility does not emit or have potential emissions of 10 TPY or more of any single HAP or 25 TPY or more of any combination of HAPs.

(D) For the purpose of determining if a facility is eligible for registration under this PBR, the calculation of actual emissions may include emission reductions that will be made enforceable by registration under this PBR.

(E) Only for the purpose of determining if a facility is eligible for registration under this PBR, the calculation of potential emissions shall not include emission reductions resulting from any physical or operational limitation (including capacity limitations, use of air pollution control equipment, and/or restrictions on hours of operation or on the type or amount of material combusted, stored, or processed). Affected sources subject to a federal standard (NSPS or NESHAP) may include enforceable limitations in the calculation of potential emissions.

(F) The facility must meet the criteria in 252:100-7-15(b)(1)(C) through (E).

(G) The facility is not otherwise a Part 70 source.

(D)Stationary spark ignition internal combustion engine. The owner or operator of a stationary spark ignition internal combustion engine shall comply with the applicable emission, equipment, and work practice standards and testing, reporting, monitoring, and recordkeeping requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ.

(E)General provisions. The owner or operator of an area source covered by the O&NG PBR shall comply with applicable requirements of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart A.

(F)Oil and natural gas production facilities. The owner or operator of an affected source listed in 40 CFR Section 63.760(a) and (b) and located at an area source shall comply with the applicable emission, equipment, and work practice standards and testing, reporting, monitoring, and recordkeeping requirements of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HH.

(G)Stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines. The owner or operator of a stationary RICE located at an area source shall comply with the applicable emission, equipment, and work practice standards and testing, reporting, monitoring, and recordkeeping requirements of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ.

(H)Equipment subject to any other NSPS or NESHAP. The owner or operator of the facility shall comply with the applicable emission, equipment, and work practice standards and testing, reporting, monitoring, and recordkeeping requirements of any other applicable NSPS or NESHAP, including any modification to requirements of an existing applicable NSPS or NESHAP.

(2)DEQ Air Pollution Control Rules, standards, and requirements. The owner or operator of an O&NG facility covered by this PBR shall comply with applicable portions of the:

(c)Requested process-specific limitations - storage vessel affected facilities. An owner or operator shall designate on the PBR registration form(s) that either of the following federally enforceable limits are applicable to a specified storage vessel affected facility. The permittee shall submit a notice of enforceability on forms provided by the DEQ to add or remove the applicability of federally enforceable limits to or from any specific emission unit.

(1) The storage vessel affected facility shall be limited to less than 6 TPY of VOC emissions, 12-month rolling total, unless another time measurement is specified under 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart OOOO or OOOOa. Demonstration of compliance with the VOC emission limit shall be based on records of VOC stored and monthly throughputs. Emissions shall be calculated using current EPA AP-42 methodology for working and breathing emissions or other methodology acceptable to the DEQ, and using available AQD guidance for flash emissions.

(A) In the demonstration of compliance with the VOC emission limit, a properly installed and operated vapor recovery unit (VRU) is considered to recover 100% of the VOC during the time the VRU is in use.

(B) The permittee shall maintain, for a period of five (5) years, records of VOC stored, monthly throughputs, and emissions calculations used to demonstrate compliance, including records of all periods of uncontrolled venting.

(2) The VOC storage vessel shall be limited to less than 6 TPY of VOC emissions, 12-month rolling total, unless another time measurement is specified under 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart OOOO or OOOOa. For any VOCs not routed through a VRU, the storage vessel affected facility shall be controlled utilizing a flare or enclosed combustion device.

(A) For each flare or enclosed combustion device, the presence of a pilot flame shall be monitored using a thermocouple or any other equivalent device, and records of pilot flame(s) outages and/or flare downtime shall be maintained.

(B) The flare or enclosed combustion device shall be operated according to the manufacturer's specifications.

(C) Demonstration of compliance with the VOC emission limit shall be based on emissions calculated from records of VOC stored and monthly throughputs using current EPA AP-42 methodology for working and breathing emissions or other methodology acceptable to the DEQ, AQD guidance for flash emissions, and a VOC control efficiency as specified.

(i) During periods when records document that the flare or enclosed combustion device was operational, the VOC emissions estimates may be calculated using a VOC destruction efficiency of 95%.

(ii) If the manufacturer of the flare or enclosed combustion device guarantees a VOC destruction efficiency greater than 95%, the VOC emissions estimates may be calculated using the VOC destruction efficiency guaranteed by the manufacturer, up to but not to exceed 99.5% during periods when records document that the control device was operational.

(iii) A properly installed and operated VRU is considered to recover 100% of the VOC during the time the VRU is in use.

(iv) The permittee shall maintain, for a period of five (5) years, records of VOC stored, monthly throughputs, and emissions calculations used to demonstrate compliance, including records of all periods of uncontrolled venting.
