        NOTICE OF COMMENT PERIOD FOR DRAFT/PROPOSED OPERATING PERMIT 

    Title V of the Federal Clean Air Act and the state Air Pollution
Control Act  requires that all major sources and certain minor sources have a
permit to operate which states all requirements (e.g. emission limitations,
monitoring requirements, etc.) established by regulations promulgated under the
aforementioned programs. The Division of Air Quality (DAQ) has determined that
the draft/proposed permit referenced herein meets this requirement.

    The DAQ is providing notice to the general public of its preliminary
determination to issue a General Operating Permit (R30-NGGP-2012) to operate
Natural Gas Compressor Facilities.  Facilities are designed and operated for
the purpose of gathering, dehydrating, transmitting, processing or compressing
Natural Gas.  Facilities will include some or all of the following equipment:
Indirect Heat Exchangers, Engines, Turbines, Storage Vessels, Glycol
Dehydration Units and Mobile Glycol Reclaimer.

    This notice solicits comments from the public and affected state(s)
concerning the above preliminary determination and provides an opportunity for
such parties to review the basis for the proposed approval and the "draft"
permit.  This notice also solicits comments from the U.S. EPA concerning the
same preliminary determination and provides an opportunity for the U.S. EPA to
concurrently review the basis for the proposed approval as a “proposed” permit.
This notice also incorporates changes to the General Requirements of the
applicable preconstruction permit(s).

    Upon issuance of Title V General Permit a facility can apply to DAQ
for Title V General Permit Registration. The registration process will not be
advertised for public comment.
   
    All written comments submitted by the public and affected state(s)
pursuant to this notice must be received by the DAQ within thirty (30) days of
the date of publication of this notice.  Under concurrent review, written
comments submitted by the U.S. EPA must be received by the DAQ within forty-
five (45) days from the date of publication of this notice or from the date the
U.S. EPA receives this draft/proposed permit, whichever is later. In the event
that the 30th/45th day is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the comment
period will be extended until 5:00 p.m. on the following regularly scheduled
business day.  The public shall have 135 days from the date of publication of
this notice to file petitions for concurrently reviewed permits.  Upon notice
by the U.S. EPA to the DAQ, prior to the end of the 45-day notice period, the
U.S. EPA may choose to hold the 30 day comment period on the draft permit and
the 45 day comment period on the proposed permit sequentially.  During the
public comment period any interested person may submit written comments on the
draft permit and may request a public hearing, if no public hearing has already
been scheduled. A request for a public hearing shall be in writing and shall
state the nature of the issues proposed to be raised in the hearing. The
Director of the DAQ shall grant such a request for a hearing if he concludes
that a public hearing is appropriate.  Any public hearing shall be held in the
general area in which the facility is located, after 30 day notice is given. 
The DAQ will consider all written comments prior to final action on the permit.
