    3. Facility description

    The Northern Natural Gas Co - Wrenshall LNG (Facility) is located at 2301 County Road 1 in Wrenshall, Carlton County, Minnesota. The facility is a natural gas plant that is used to liquefy and store natural gas for later vaporization and distribution into underground pipelines. The facility emission sources consist of two natural gas-fired turbines, three natural gas-fired vaporizers, a 26,460,000 gallon LNG storage tank, a 11,700 gallon ethylene storage tank, a 5,900 gallon pentane storage tank, a 2,000 gallon butane storage tank, a 4,050 gallon propane storage tank, natural gas flares which combust excess gases from each tank, and a diesel fire pump. The primary emissions are nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and greenhouse gases (CO2e) from the turbines, flares, vaporizers, and fire pump. The facility also has equipment that qualifies as insignificant activities under Minn. R. 7007.1300. The facility assumes a limit on CO2e to remain a synthetic minor source under New Source Review/Prevention of Significant Deterioration (NSR/PSD). The facility is a major source under Part 70 (Title V) regulations and an area source under the federal National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP, 40 CFR pt. 63). Amendment Description

    This permit action is a moderate amendment that authorizes construction and operation of a cold-box separator and associated heat exchangers. Included in this project is construction and operation of a liquid “heavies” knockout storage tank (EQUI 17), a natural gas-fired flare (TREA 4) to control tank off-gas emissions, and a stack/vent (STRU 8). Emission increases associated with this project is mainly from combustion of the Cold Box flare and, to a lesser extent, the emissions from the tank. No emissions are associated with the cold-box separator or heat exchanger. The anticipated emissions increases are such that the facility remains below NSR/PSD thresholds.

    Subject Item Sec.SI.Reqt SI des:SI desc Requirement & Citation Section 63.6640(f). Any operation other than emergency operation, maintenance and testing, and operation in non-emergency situations for 50 hours per year, as described in paragraphs (f)(1)(i) through (iii) of 40 CFR Section 63.6640(f), is prohibited. If the engine is not operated according to the requirements in (1)(i) through (iii) of 40 CFR Section 63.6640(f), the engine will not be considered an emergency engine under this subpart and will need to meet all requirements for non-emergency engines. The requirements in (f)(1)(i) through (iii) are as follows: (i)There is no time limit on the use of emergency stationary RICE in emergency situations; (ii) The emergency stationary RICE may be operated for the purpose of maintenance checks and readiness testing, provided that the tests are recommended by Federal, State or local government, the manufacturer, the vendor, or the insurance company associated with the engine. Maintenance checks and readiness testing of such units is limited to 100 hours per year. The Permittee may petition the Administrator for approval of additional hours to be used for maintenance checks and readiness testing, but a petition is not required if the owner or operator maintains records indicating that Federal, State, or local standards require maintenance and testing of emergency RICE beyond 100 hours per year; and (iii) The emergency stationary RICE may be operated up to 50 hours per year in non-emergency situations, but those 50 hours are counted towards the 100 hours per year provided for maintenance and testing. The 50 hours per year for non-emergency situations cannot be used for peak shaving or to generate income for a facility to supply power to an electric grid or otherwise supply power as part of a financial arrangement with another entity. The Permittee may operate the emergency engine for a maximum of 15 hours per year as part of a demand response program if the regional transmission organization or equivalent balancing authority and transmission operator has determined there are emergency conditions that could lead to a potential electrical blackout, such as unusually low frequency, equipment overload, capacity or energy deficiency, or unacceptable voltage level. The engine may not be operated for more than 30 minutes prior to the time when the emergency condition is expected to occur, and the engine operation must be terminated immediately after the facility is notified that the emergency condition is no longer imminent. The 15 hours per year of demand response operation are counted as part of the 50 hours of operation per year provided for non-emergency situations. The supply of emergency power to another entity or entities pursuant to financial arrangement is not limited by 40 CFR Section 63.6640(f)(1)(iii), as long as the power provided by the financial arrangement is limited to emergency power.

The oil analysis must be performed at the same frequency specified for changing the oil. The analysis program must at a minimum analyze the following three parameters: Total Base Number, viscosity, and percent water content. The condemning limits for these parameters are as follows: Total Base Number is less than 30 percent of the Total Base Number of the oil when new; viscosity of the oil has changed by more than 20 percent from the viscosity of the oil when new; or percent water content (by volume) is greater than 0.5. If none of these condemning limits are exceeded, the engine owner or operator is not required to change the oil. If any of the limits are exceeded, the engine owner or operator must change the oil within 2 days of receiving the results of the analysis; if the engine is not in operation when the results of the analysis are received, the engine owner or operator must change the oil within 2 days or before commencing operation, whichever is later. The owner or operator must keep records of the parameters that are analyzed as part of the program, the results of the analysis, and the oil changes for the engine. The analysis program must be part of the maintenance plan for the engine. [40 CFR 63.6625(j), Minn. R. 7011.8150]

Note: Global warming potentials (GWPs) for methane and nitrous oxide have changed since issuance of Permit No 01700011-005. CO2e = [CH4 (NG) x GWPCH4] + [N2O (NG) x GWPN2O] + CO2 (NG) CO2e (12) = sum of the values of CO2e calculated over the previous 12 calendar months (12- month rolling sum) CH4 (NG) = QNG x EFCH4-NG ÷ 2000 N2O (NG) = QNG x EFN2O-NG ÷ 2000 CO2 (NG) = QNG x EFCO2-NG ÷ 2000 Where: CO2e = quantity of CO2e emitted during the previous calendar month (tons) CH4 (NG) = quantity of methane generated by combustion of natural gas during the previous month (tons) N2O (NG) = quantity of nitrous oxide generated by combustion of natural gas during the previous month (tons) QNG = quantity of natural gas combusted during the previous calendar month (MMcf) EFCH4-NG = MPCA-approved emission factor for calculating methane emissions from combustion of natural gas. At the time of permit issuance, the MPCA-approved emission factor is 2.27 lb/MMcf.1 If testing is done, and use of the tested values would result in a higher CH4 emission factor, the higher emission factor should be used. If testing results in a lower CH4 emission factor, the emission factor in the permit (the higher factor) should be used until a permit amendment is issued authorizing use of the lower emission factor. If Table C-2 of Subpart C to 40 CFR Part 98 is changed to reflect a different emission factor, the revised emission factor should be used in the derivation of the emission factor used herein. EFN2O-NG = MPCA-approved emission factor for calculating nitrous oxide emissions from combustion of natural gas. At the time of permit issuance, the MPCA-approved emission factor is 0.227 lb/MMcf.2 If testing is done, and use of the tested values would result in a higher N2O emission factor, the higher emission factor should be used. If testing results in a lower N2O emission factor, the emission factor in the permit (the higher factor) should be used until a permit amendment is issued authorizing use of the lower emission factor. If Table C-2 of Subpart C to 40 CFR Part 98 is changed to reflect a different emission factor, the revised emission factor should be used in the derivation of the emission factor used herein.

At the time of permit issuance, the MPCA-approved emission factor is 120161.8 lb/MMcf.2 If testing is done, and use of the tested values would result in a higher CO2 emission factor, the higher emission factor should be used. If testing results in a lower CO2 emission factor, the emission factor in the permit (the higher factor) should be used until a permit amendment is issued authorizing use of the lower emission factor.

    1.2 Facility description

    The facility is a natural gas plant that is used to liquefy and store natural gas for later vaporization and distribution into underground pipelines. The facility emission sources consist of two natural gas-fired turbines, three natural gas-fired vaporizers, a 26,460,000 gallon LNG storage tank, a 11,700 gallon ethylene storage tank, a 5,900 gallon pentane storage tank, a 2,000 gallon butane storage tank, a 4,050 gallon propane storage tank, natural gas flares which combust excess gases from each tank, and a diesel fire pump. The primary emissions are nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and greenhouse gases (CO2e) from the turbines, flares, vaporizers, and fire pump. The facility also has equipment that qualifies as insignificant activities under Minn. R. 7007.1300. The facility assumes a limit on CO2e to remain a synthetic minor source under New Source Review/Prevention of Significant Deterioration (NSR/PSD). The facility is a major source under Part 70 (Title V) regulations and an area source under the federal National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP, 40 CFR pt. 63).

    1.3 Description of the activities allowed by this permit action This permit action is a moderate amendment that authorizes the construction and operation of a cold box separator, a storage tank for liquid “heavies” collection (EQUI 17), a natural gas-fired flare (TREA 4) to control emissions from the tank, and heat exchangers. This addition to the process assists in removal of unwanted, condensable contaminates (“heavies”) from the natural gas prior to storage and transfer. In addition, allowable SO2 emissions from the facility were reduced due to the reduction in allowable sulfur content in diesel fuel required by rule. Because this is not part of the project but rather a regulatory update, this is not reflected in the emission totals in Table 3 and 4 below. Regardless, the anticipated emissions increases are such that the facility remains below NSR/PSD thresholds. The MPCA has a combined operating and construction-permitting program under Minn. R. ch. 7007 and Minn. R. 7007.0800. Under that authority, this permit action authorizes construction.

    2.1 New source review (NSR) The permit carries forward limits on the facility such that it remains a synthetic minor source under New Source Review regulations. No changes are authorized by this permit.

    2.2 Part 70 permit program The facility is a major source under the Part 70 permit program.

    2.3 New source performance standards (NSPS) The Permittee has stated that portions of the facility are subject to 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. GG - Standards of Performance for Stationary Gas Turbines. No new NSPS standards apply as a result of this modification.

    2.4 National emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP)

    The facility is an area source of HAPs and is subject to 40 CFR pt. 63, subp. ZZZZ - National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines. No new NESHAP standards apply as a result of this modification.

    *Location of the requirement in the permit (e.g., EQUI 1, COMG 1, etc.). 3. Technical information

    This permit action authorizes construction and operation of new equipment that increases facility emissions. The new flare that controls the gaseous emissions from the new liquid “heavies” knockout storage tank contributes to that increase. Originally, control equipment that had emissions as a result of its operation (flares, afterburners, etc.) were entered into the database as both an emission unit and control equipment. This was due to Delta (old database) not being able to catalog PTE data at the control equipment level. The new database (Tempo) is able to accommodate this, so the flare that migrated as an emission unit (Storage Tank Flare) was deleted and all PTE data and unit details were entered at the migrated TREA level. 3.1 Calculations of emissions increase analysis

    The majority of the emissions as a result of this amendment are derived from the natural gas-fired flare. The flare consists of two pilot burners with a combined capacity of 145 MMBtu/hr (0.142 MMcf/hr). The flare was oversized to accommodate any emergency situation in which storage tank contents would have to be off-gassed. Emission factors were taken from EPA AP-42 Chapter 1.4, Tables 1.4-1 and 1.4-2 assuming a heating value of 1,020 Btu/scf for natural gas. Emissions calculations for the liquid knockout tank were done using TANKS software.

    Attachment 1 to this TSD contains the Title I and non-Title I emissions increase calculations for this modification. These demonstrate that this modification is not a major modification under PSD and that the modification qualifies for a moderate amendment under Minn. R. 7007.1450.

    3.2 Dispersion modeling The permit contains conditions that require the Permittee to conduct dispersion modeling for NOx if there are modifications to natural gas-fired turbines (EQUI 6 and EQUI 7) or the turbine stack parameters in Appendix C. Since this permit action does not contain modifications to the turbines or any associated stack parameter (stack height, exit temperature, etc.), this project does not trigger a NOx modeling resubmittal.

    3.3 Monitoring In accordance with the Clean Air Act, it is the responsibility of the owner or operator of a facility to have sufficient knowledge of the facility to certify that the facility is in compliance with all applicable requirements.

    In evaluating the monitoring included in the permit, the MPCA considered the following:

    ∑ The likelihood of the facility violating the applicable requirements. ∑ Whether add-on controls are necessary to meet the emission limits. ∑ The variability of emissions over time. ∑ The type of monitoring, process, maintenance, or control equipment data already available for the

    emission unit. ∑ The technical and economic feasibility of possible periodic monitoring methods. ∑ The kind of monitoring found on similar units elsewhere.

    The table below summarizes the monitoring requirements associated with this amendment.

    *Location of the requirement in the permit (e.g., EQUI 1, COMG 1, etc.).

    3.4 Insignificant activities Northern Natural Gas Co - Wrenshall LNG Plant has several operations which are classified as insignificant activities under the MPCA’s permitting rules. These are listed in Appendix A to the permit. No new insignificant activities are authorized by the permit action and existing units designated as insignificant activities remain unaffected.

    3.5 Permit organization

    In general, the permit meets the MPCA Tempo Guidance for ordering and grouping of requirements. One area where this permit deviates slightly from Tempo guidance is in the use of appendices. While appendices are fully enforceable parts of the permit, in general, any requirement that the MPCA thinks should be electronically tracked (e.g., limits, submittals, etc.), should be in the Requirements table in Tempo. The main reason is that the appendices are word processing sections and are not part of the electronic tracking system. Violation of the appendices can be enforced, but the computer system will not automatically generate the necessary enforcement notices or documents. Staff must generate these. This permit uses an appendix (Appendix D) for specific calculation procedures to calculate CO2e. These procedures are too complex to enter into Tempo and must go in an appendix.

    3.6 Comments received

    Due to this permit action being defined as a moderate amendment under Minn. R. 7007.1450, a public comment period is not required; however, an EPA review period is required and must be on review for the full 45-day period. EPA Review Period: July 17, 2017 – August 31, 2017 No comments were received by the MPCA from the EPA during the above 45-day review period.

    4. Permit fee assessment Attachment 3 to this TSD contains the MPCA’s assessment of Application and Additional Points used to determine the permit application fee for this permit action as required by Minn. R. 7002.0019. This action does not include any new standards. The NSPS and NESHAP standards that apply are existing standards that already applied to the facility; therefore, they are not chargeable activities (i.e., the standard was not triggered by the changes requested in the permit applications).

    5. Conclusion

    Based on the information provided by Northern Natural Gas Co - Wrenshall LNG Plant, the MPCA has reasonable assurance that the operation of the emission facility, as described in the Air Emission Permit No. 01700011-101 and this TSD, will not cause or contribute to a violation of applicable federal regulations and Minnesota Rules.
