Natural gas is diverted from the main Questar pipeline to the compressor. The natural gas is sent through a dryer/dehydrator and compressed to 700 psi. After initial compression, the gas is sent through a cooler, then dehydrator, and finally compressed a second time in the compressor before being transferred to the Coalville natural gas storage field. Questar operates 5 wells that pump natural gas from the storage field to the Questar Pipeline when the demand for natural gas increases, typically during peak usage (winter) or emergency situation. Mercaptan is also added to the gas. The 5 wells are covered under a separate AO and are considered another site since the compressor station and the storage fields are not contiguous. The compressor station only operates September through June when there is a higher demand for natural gas.

Section III: APPLICABLE FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS In addition to the requirements of this AO, all applicable provisions of the following federal programs have been found to apply to this installation. This AO in no way releases the owner or operator from any liability for compliance with all other applicable federal, state, and local regulations including UAC R307. 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart ZZZZ: Status: In Compliance. The compressor engine is in compliance with Subpart ZZZZ emission limits, see attached stack test memo. The two emergency generators are in compliance with Subpart ZZZZ rolling 12-month 100-hour limit. 6 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOOO: Status: Not Applicable. This source was constructed before August 23, 2011. The source recalls that the rod packing for the compressor was replaced in the last 10 years. The source has also stated that they will start keeping records of hours for the rod packing and will also be making modifications to the rod packing vent piping so that monitoring can be done in the near future. The source is using instrument air to power smaller control valves and is currently talking with the EPA about using instrument air versus process gas to power larger control valves, and the safety aspect of instrument air not providing enough compression to shut larger control valves in emergency situations. These actions are being done to be in compliance with Subpart OOOOc for once that goes into effect. AREA SOURCE RULES EVALUATION: The following Area Source Rules were evaluated during this inspection: Utah Administrative Code R307-506. Oil and Gas Industry: Storage Vessel: In Compliance. The condensate throughput for the condensate tanks is less than 2,000 barrels. The tanks do not require a control. See attached records of condensate throughput provided by Scott Bassett.
