Air Permits

Produced Water Update
For tanks storing produced water and condensate/oil, DEQ will now require all applications submitted on or after April 15, 2021, to calculate breathing and working emissions assuming 100% of the tank throughput to be based on the properties of the condensate/oil which forms the free top layer. This requirement is in consideration of EPA guidance in AP-42, Section 7.1(11/19), Subsection 7.1.3.1.

DEQ will no longer accept breathing and working emission calculations which are based on a condensate/oil-to-water ratio. This guidance does not apply to produced water tank flashing emissions or produced water tank truck loadout emissions. You may submit alternative emissions calculations for working and breathing losses with a technical justification and supporting documentation for a case-by-case approval.

Effluent Water Separator Guidance
AQD has developed a new guidance to assist the Oil and Gas industry with regard to the Effluent Water Separator standards found at OAC 252:100-37-37. This guidance is intended to assist industry in determining if a storage vessel qualifies as a vessel operating as an effluent water separator or if the vessel is simply a storage tank which may be subject to any other applicable requirements under OAC 252:100-37.
Oil and Gas Representative Sample Guidance
AQD has developed a new guidance document and flowchart to streamline the review and acceptance of representative samples used for calculating emissions for Air Quality oil and gas facility permit applications. The guidance affects all permit applications submitted on or after March 15, 2021. DEQ Form #100-702 is now required in addition to current application forms to demonstrate the selected sample satisfies the criteria specified in the guidance.

AQD operates a dual permitting system — construction permits and operating permits — to control major and minor sources of air pollution.

  • A construction permit application is required before a new source is constructed or an existing source is modified.
  • AQD issues the construction permit after it is determined the source is designed to meet applicable rules and pre-construction requirements.
  • An operating permit is issued after construction is completed and demonstration is made that the source is capable of meeting applicable emissions limitations and air pollution control requirements.
