Re: Oxy Air Regulatory Permitting Statement for Proposed E&P Waste Management Facilities
Located in the Cascade Creek Operating Area
Garfield County, Colorado
Dear Mr. Hartmann,
OXY USA WPT LP (Oxy) is upgrading its existing storage ponds from COGCC permitted multi -well
storage ponds to COGCC Centralized E&P Waste Management Faculties. The upgrades triggers a
review of air permitting regulatory (local, state, and federal) requirements.
Oxy has hired an air consultant to prepare a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) analysis
for determination of appropriate control of hydrocarbons from the produced water and flowback
water storage impoundments. The RACT analysis covers the following facilities:
- Pond 10,
- Pond 13 East and West, and
- Pond G.
Once the RACT control method and facility wide potential emissions are identified and analyzed, Oxy will
respond accordingly, which may include preparing and submitting any required APENs to the
CDPHE. The target completion and submittal date for this activity is November 30, 2013.
Oxy will provide the Garfield County Community Development Department (CDD) with the results of the
RACT analysis and if APEN application submittal's are required, Oxy will also provide them to CDD.
Copies of approved APEN's will be provided to CDD.
Please contact me if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or if you require additional
information. I can be reached at 970.263.3637 or at daniel_padilla@oxy.com.
Sincerely,
69)1

Regulatory Advisor
