A. Applicability

These requirements apply 10 existing and new emission sources associated with oil production from

the Bakk~lI Formation on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota and largcllhc control

ofcasinghead gas enllssions lalso known as treater gas) and emissions from oil and produced water

storage lanks (lanks).

B. Control Requiremellts

All casinghead gas and tank emissions must he controlled or capwred upon stan ofproduclion. If gas

gathering infrastructure is in place. casinghead gas shall be routed to a gas gathering. pipt'line as soon

as practicable. When a pipeline is llot available. casinghead gas is required to be rOUled to a control

system or device in the Control System List below. The Control System List also applies to i:l1lissiOllS

from oil and produced wuter storage lanks. Capture or control devices hall be operated at all limes

when t:missions rnuy be venled 10 them.

The ownt:r!opcrator slmll rnaintaill and operate all air pollution cOlltrol cquipmcllI. and all equipment

employed 10 contain and collect vapors and transport them to the emission control system or device.

in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and in 11 nUtnncr cOl\si~tent with good air

pollution control practice for minimizing emissions.

Conlrol Svstem List

I. A ground pit nare (including. bUl not limited to pit nares. shop built narcs or othersimilar

oilfield type narcs) or other 90% Or greater DRE device. If a ground pil nare is utilized. a

90% DRE to be assumed. This is considered the minimum level ofeonlral for tank and treater

gas emissions nt :llllillles.

2. A vapor recovery unit or oil stabilizer that is designed and operated l~l n:dw.:c Ihe milSS content

of VOC and tala I hazardous air pollutant (HA P) emissions in the vapors vented to the device

by I\t lea::.t 95% by weight.

An enclosed combustion device approprintcly sizcd for Ihe site's opt:nlting parameters and lor

which the manufacturer reprcscllIs will achieve a destruction efficiency oral leasl95% ofthc

VOCs with respect to lhe volumclric flow und BTU content ofthe site"s wastc gas strcllFll. An

enclosed combustion device is operated including. bllt nOl limited 10 the following:

• This device should be operated with no visible emissions exccpr for periods not to

exceed 0 tOlol of 5 minutes during uny 2 conseculive hours: Melhod 22 of 40 eFR

Appendix A shall be uscd to detcnnine the compliance with this visible emission

provision.

II
• Owner/opcrnlor shall install an appropriate. reliable tcmpcnlturc sensor/transmitter

Ihat indicates continuous ignition of the pilot name on the control device. The

scnsm/transmitter will be connected fa the site's Supervisol)' Control and Data

Acquisition (SCADA) System. The SCADA system will record temperahJrC readings

m aspecified frequency and will be programmed to trigger an alarm iflempcratures

outside of a pre-programmed range are detected. For the purpose OftJlis paragraph.

"continuous" mon iloring equipment shall measure find record villues at lcasl once

every hour.

4. A utility Oarc (using an open name without enclosure) that is designed and operated to reduce

Ihe mass contenl ofVOC and total 111\1' emissions in the vapors vented 10 the device by at

least 98% by weight. A utility Ilare is any nare lhat is designed and operated in accordance

with the requiremenls of 40 C.F.R § 60,18. Requirements of 40 C.F.R § 60.18 include. but ltr~

nOl limited to the tallowing:

• Flare shall be designed and operated with no visible emissions except for periods not

to cxceed a (otal of 5 minulcs during any 2 COl1s~culivc hours: Method 22 or 40 CFR

Appendix A shall be used to detennine the compliance with this visible emission

provision:

• Flare shall be operated wilh a flame present at all times:

• An owner/operator has (he choice of adhering to cilher the heal content specificalions

in paragraph 40 C,F.R. § 60. I 8(c)(J)(ii) and the maximum tip velocity specific:nions

in paragraph (c)(4) Qr adhering 10 th~ requiremenls in 40 C.F,R. § 60.18(c)(3)(i):

• Flares used 10 comply with Ihis section shall be steam-assisted. air-ussistcd or

llonassistcd;

• OWllers/operators of nares shall monitor tile control devices to ensure thut Ihey arc

operated and maintained ill conformance wilh their designs:

• The presence of a nnrc pilot name sl1ll11 be monilored llsing a Ihcrrnocouplc or any

other equivalent device to detect the presence of a name. Continuous checks by an

operator to verify thl: existence of n visible name or to veritY propcr operation ot'lhc

igniter may be used in lieu ofa physical device. For the purpose ofthis paragraph,

"continuous" monitoring equipment shllllmeRsurc Ilnd record v!llucs at least oncc

every hour.

• For safety and air pollution cOllirol purposl:S: c:ach nure must be equipped and

operated with an automatic ignitor or a conlinuous burning pilot. which must be

maintained in good working order. This is required even ifthe narc is IIsed for

emergency purposes only.

5. Control devices other Ihan those lis;ted above may be utilized upon approval Ii'om the EPA.

C. Recordkceping Re<luirements

I. Owner/operator shall maintain control device temperature logs for lhree ) ears.
