PROCESS DESCRIPTION: Oil and gas products are brought to the surface. These products
go through a separator where the oil and any water products are
sent to storage tanks and the gas is used to power equipment on
site (pump jack engine, tank heater, separator, flare, combustor,
etc.) Any remaining gas is sent to a pipeline that feeds a local gas
plant. The oil and process water in the storage tanks is loaded
into tanker trucks and hauled off site for processing and disposal.

APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: Utah Administrative Code (UAC) R307-500 Series for the Oil
and Gas Industry, and UAC R307-201: Emission Standards:
General Emission Standards; and UAC R307-150: Emission
Inventories. Federal Subpart: 40 CFR 60 Subpart JJJJ.

SOURCE EVALUATION: Site Type: PBR-Uncontrolled
No Flare Controls, Site powered by Engine. The source
registered: 3,199 Estimated Oil BBL.
DOGM current 12 month rolling production is: 0 BBLS.
Utah Statute R307-506 requires a source with throughput
greater than 8,000 BBLs to have controls.

General Provisions Visible emissions are within the following opacity limits: VOC Control Devices and Gasoline engines 0%, Diesel engines 20%, Natural Gas Engines and Boilers, Treater burners & Tank burners 10%, Mobile source dust 10%. [ R307-201-3] In Compliance. No visible emissions were detected by use of the USEPA Method 9. VOC emissions are, at all times, minimized as reasonably practicable by equipment design, maintenance and operation practices. [R307-501-4(1)] In Compliance. Associated gas is routed to a sales gathering line. Tanks all have thief hatches and PRV's that are closed and not leaking. The expected components were found installed. All natural gas-driven pneumatic controllers are in compliance with 40CFR 60.5390 or 60.5390a as applicable. Tagging and record keeping requirements are not required. [R307-502-4] In Compliance. The natural gas-driven pneumatic controllers at this source are not continuous bleed but are low-bleed or snap acting. Tank Truck Loading Truck loading is done by bottom filling or submerged fill pipe. [R307-504(1)] In Compliance. The truck loading area is suitable for submerged loading and it is routine for truck drivers to load this way. Storage Vessels Thief hatches are kept closed and latched. [R307-506-4(1)] In Compliance. All hatches were found closed at the start of the evaluation. Vessel Vent Components: (valves, unions, pressure relief devices, etc.) are leak-free, in good repair, and working as intended. (Tank covers are leak free and form a continuous seal.). [R307-501-4] In Compliance. No leaking components were found during the survey. The components were all operated and installed as expected. Natural Gas Engines Affected engine exhaust vents are vertical and unrestricted. Stacks are 8' or greater if the site horsepower rating is 151 to 305 Stacks are 10' or greater if the site horse power rating is 306 or greater. [R307-510-4(3)] In Compliance. This well was drilled before 2016 and the pumpjack engine is instead subject to the performance standards in NSPS (60) JJJJ. Temporary Emergency Generators, in use for less than 100 days, have an operational hour meter and log book (onsite) recording hours used and maintenance performed. [40 CFR 60 Subpart IIII, JJJJ] In Compliance. No generators are in place at this location.

Associated Gas Flaring Associated gas is routed to a process unit for combustion, a sales pipeline or an operating VOC control device, except in an emergency. An emergency release is unanticipated, temporary, infrequent, unavoidable, =24 hrs. and is not due to operator negligence. Low pressure gas from working loss, breathing loss and oil flashing is not "associated gas". [R307-511-4(1)] In Compliance. Associated gas is gathered to a sales line. Recordkeeping Requirements: The following records are kept: The time and date of event Volume of emissions Any corrective action taken for 3 years. [R307-511-5(1)(a)(b)] In Compliance. No reported breakdowns or venting. Emission Inventory An emissions inventory has been submitted within the past three years. [R307-150-9(1)] In Compliance. The operator submitted for the 2023 emissions inventory. Oil and Gas Industry Registration Requirement The source is registered with the DAQ. [R307-505-3(3)] In Compliance. Registration has been updated within 30 days of a company name change, removal or addition of control devices, or termination of operations. [R307-505-3(3)] In Compliance. Natural Gas Engines Engines subject to R307-510 shall be certified or have an initial performance test per CFR 60.4244. [R307-510-4(2)] In Compliance. This well was drilled before 2016 and the pumpjack engine is instead subject to the performance standards in NSPS (60) JJJJ. Engine certifications or initial performance tests required are kept for the life of the engine at the source. [R307-510-5] In Compliance. Engines installed before 2016 are not subject to R307-510 and are not under obligation to retain certifications or stack tests for life. Certified and non-certified engines are regularly maintained according to the Engine manufacturer's Schedule or the Maintenance Plan. [40 CFR 60 Subpart IIII, JJJJ, 63 Subpart ZZZZ] In Compliance. A maintenance plan has been drafted and followed.

Applicable Federal Regulations NSPS (Part 60) JJJJ: Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines [40 CFR 60 Subpart JJJJ] In Compliance. The engine installed at this source is not certified and may have not had an initial performance test. The retention time for this document has expired. A maintenance plan has been drafted and followed.
PREVIOUS ENFORCEMENT
ACTIONS: None in the past 5 years.

COMPLIANCE STATUS &
RECOMMENDATIONS: In regards to the site, the overall status is: In Compliance.
The source was surveyed by AVO and with an OGI camera and
was found to be well-kept with no visible or fugitive emissions.
The DAQ conducted a review of the rules requiring
recordkeeping and looked for installation/operation issues. The
operator's representatives were pleasant and cooperative.
Requested records were provided in a timely manner and
reviewed at the local field office. This well has been shut in for
over a year.

RECOMMENDATION FOR
NEXT INSPECTION: The DAQ has no recommendations for the next inspector other
than what are customary. The DAQ was joined by Scout
personnel during the site inspection.
