RESPONSE TO COMMENTS

Quantum Resources Management, LLCWalker Creek Production Facility

DRAFT PERMIT #1126-AR-5AFIN: 14-00175

On October 21,2007, the Director of the Arkansas Department of Environmental Qualitygave notice of a draft permitting decision for the above referenced facility. During thecomment period C-K Associates, LLC of Louisiana, on the behalf of Walker CreekProduction Facility, submitted comments, data, views or arguments on the draftpermitting decision. The Department's response to these issues follows.

Issue #1:

One commenter expressed concerns about Specific Conditions #12 and #17, pertaining tothe facility's requirement for monthly VOC monitoring as required by Standards forPerformance for New Stationary Sources Subpart KKK and requested these conditions beremoved from the permit.

Response #1:

The facility is a non-fractioning plant, but no longer has the design capacity to process 10MMSCFD. Routine monitoring requirements of §60.482-2(a)(l), §60.482-7(a), and§60.633(b)(l) are not required by facilities that do not have the design capacity to process10 MMSCFD. Therefore, Specific Conditions # 12 and #17 have been removed from thepermit.

Issue #2:

It was requested that the Amine Reboiler (SN-2I) be included III the InsignificantActivities list rather than included as a permitted source.

Response #2:

Based on the information provided in the application, the size of the Amine Reboiler, theestimated emissions generated by the reboiler, and the aggregate emissions of all unitsclassified as insignificant are below the requirements of Group A-I. Therefore, theAmine Reboiler has been added to the Insignificant Activities list under Group A-I andSN-2I has been removed from the permit.

Section II: INTRODUCTION

Summary

Quantum Resources Management, LLC (Quantum) owns and operates the Walker CreekProduction Facility, Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction (NAICS Code 211112 ),located off Arkansas State Highway 132 and 3.5 miles South of Taylor, Arkansas, inColumbia County. With this modification, Quantum would like to remove the 840 hpF3524GSI compressor engine (SN-15) from service and install one (I) Waukesha F3521Gcompressor engine (SN-20) rated at 445 hp and equipped with a catalytic converter.Additionally, Quantum submitted updated calculations for the 415 HP Caterpillar G370Engine (SN-16), which reduced the permitted Formaldehyde emissions from 0.41 Iblhr to0.07 lb/hr. Quantum would also like to add an amine reboiler, a Triethylene Glycol (TEG)dehydrator, and a TEG reboiler to the Insignificant Activities. With the modificationsproposed the total permitted emissions increases include 0.1 tpy of PM 10 and 0.1 tpy of S02,with permitted emission decreases of 0.8 tpy ofVOC, 15.8 tpy of CO, and 7.7 tpy of NO,.

Process Description

The low pressure liquids from the oil and gas wells are delivered to an inlet separator, then pipedthrough a 400 barrel intermediate Holding Tank and a 750 barrel Gunbarrel. The crude oil fromthe Gunbarrel is routed to one of the three 750 bbl storage tanks and pumped to the crude oilsales point. Produced water is routed to two 750 bbl storage tanks and then pumped intoinjection wells or trucked to an off-site disposal well. Vapors from the storage tanks arerecovered and routed back to the separator. The field gas is then compressed to a dischargepressure ranging from 600 to 950 psig by using the 840 HP Waukesha F3524 GSI compressor.

Compressed gas is passed through an H2S Treating Tower and then to the Gas Processing Unitwhere water and liquid hydrocarbons are removed. The liquid hydrocarbons are sent to aStabilizer Tower and then to a 30,000 gallon storage tank. Processed gas is metered and eithersold or re-injected into the Walker Creek Unit (WCU) formation.

The natural gas is then dehydrated by contact with Ethylene Glycol. The wet glycol solution isre-generated in a natural gas fired reboiler (SN-17-GD3) rated at 1.2 MMBTU/hr. Gases ventedfrom the Dehydrator Still Column vent, previously designated as SN-12, are estimated at 5.0 tpyof VOCs, including 1.0 tpy of BTEX HAPs, and this source is now designated as SN-18-GD4.

The refrigeration plant has a 415 HP Caterpillar G379 SI NA compressor engine with a catalyticconverter (SN-CE6) which follows H2S treating. Fugitive VOC emissions from the refrigerationunit (SN-19-F2) are estimated at 35 tpy.

Section III: PERMIT HISTORY

Permit # 1126-AR-A was issued to ARCO Oil and Gas on February 26, 1991 for theconstruction ofa central oil and gas producing plant located 3.5 miles South of Taylor,Columbia County, AR. The facility consisted of the following emission sources: three 1500 HPengines and compressors (SN-Ol through SN-03) equipped with catalytic converters, two 300HP internal combustion engines not equipped with a catalytic converter, one 1.2 M MBTU/hI'Triethylene Glycol (TEG) dehydrator, five 1000 barrel storage tanks, and a 1.2 MMBTU/hr TEGdehydrator equipped with an overhead vapor condenser-cooler.

Pel111it # 1126-AR-l was issued on March 10, 1993 following stack testing performed at the site,The facility consisted of the following emission sources: three 1500 HP engines andcompressors (SN-Ol through SN-03) equipped with catalytic converters, one 300 HP and one800 HP internal combustion engine not equipped with catalytic converters, one 1.2 MMBTU/hrTriethylene Glycol (TEG) dehydrator, six 1000 barrel storage tanks, and a 1.2 MMBTU/hr TEGdehydrator equipped with an overhead vapor condenser-cooler

Pellnit # 1126-AR-2 was issued on December 16,1994: This permit listed the followingsignificant sources: three 1500 HP engines and compressors (SN-Ol through SN-03) equippedwith catalytic converters, and a 300 HP engine with a catalytic converter. The addition of thecatalytic converter reduced the NOx emission rate from 202.3 tpy to below the threshold thatwould require a Title V application. Formaldehyde, a Hazardous Air Pollutant, is also producedin the combustion of natural gas in the compressor engines, and these estimates have been addedto the current revised emission estimates. Formaldehyde is emitted at less than 10 tpy,

Permit # 1126-AR-3 was issued on March 26, 1998 by the owner Vastar Resources, Inc. in orderto add a refrigeration plant and simultaneously eliminate one compressor (SN-4-CE-4), so thatNOx and CO emissions rates will be kept below the permitted levels at 96 tpy each. PermittedVOC emissions, however, increased from 33.2 tpy to 64.3 tpy. Four new sources of emissionswere added in the permit application: 1) a Caterpillar G370 natural gas engine to be used in therefrigeration plant; 2) an external combustion source for the ethylene glycol regenerator in therefrigerator plant; 3) fugitives from the refrigeration plant; and 4) emissions from the ethyleneglycol still column.

Interim authority to construct and operate a refrigeration plant was granted on April 14, 1998,after a teclmical review indicated that the changes proposed in the permit application met therequired criteria. The new refrigeration plant included a 415 HP Caterpillar G379 SI NAcompressor engine with a catalytic converter (SN-CE6) which follows H2S treating. Also 35tpy ofVOCs were identified as fugitives from the operation of the refrigeration unit (SN-F2).

Permit # 1126-AR-4 was issued on March 4, 2005. The modification resulted in a netreduction in facility wide permitted emission limits for NOx @ 70.4 tpy and CO @ 62.3 tpy.

Gruy removed the three (3) 1500 Hp compressor engines designated as SN-OI, 02 & 03, and

To obtainthis opacity standard, the owner or op­erator must request the Administratorto determine opacity during an initial,or subsequent, performance test whenfuel oil is used to fire the afterburner.Upon receipt of the results of the per­formance test, the Administrator willmake a finding concerning compliancewith the mass standard for the blowingstill. If the Administrator finds thatthe facility was in compliance with themass standard during the performancetest but failed to meet the zero opacitystandard, the Administrator will estab­lish and promulgate in the FEDERALREGISTER an opacity standard for theblowing still that will be the opacitystandard when fuel oil is used to firethe afterburner. When the afterburneris fired with natural gas, the zero per­cent opacity remains the applicableopacity standard.
