The new heater will be located at the existing Ramapo Meter Station. This existing Meter
Station is owned and operated jointly by Millennium Pipeline Company (Millennium) and
AGT. The AGT portions of Station include two in-line gas heaters with maximum heat
input capacities of 12.5 MMBtu/hour and 18.0 MMBtu/hour, as well as flow control,
regulation and associated piping components.
AGT is proposing to operate one natural gas fired fuel gas heater, with a rated heat output
capacity of 8.08 MMBtu/hr. The rated heat input capacity (HHV) will be less than 9.99
MMBtu/hr based upon a maximum heat input capacity of 9.51 MMBtu/hr and a thermal
efficiency of 85%. Per 6 NYCRR 2013.2(c)(1)(i), stationary combustion installations with
a maximum rated heat input capacity less than 10 MMBtu/hr burning fuels other than
coal or wood are exempt from permitting. As such, the heater is an exempt source.
AGT has provided fugitive emissions calculations for VOC and greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions from the Facility. Estimates of fugitive emissions are required to be included
for Title V applicability assessments, per 6 NYCRR 2016.2(d)(3)(ii). Similarly, emissions
of exempt equipment (i.e., the new fuel gas heater) cannot be excluded when determining
applicability of Title V, nonattainment NSR, or PSD.
Fugitive Emissions
Typical sources of fugitive emissions at natural gas metering stations include leaks from
piping components (valves, flanges, connectors and openended lines) as well as potential
gas release events.
Page 2 of 3
Natural gas is removed from equipment (blown down) as a safety precaution during
certain maintenance activities. Activation of the emergency shutdown (ESD) system
causes all equipment at the station to be blown down as fast as possible. This ensures
that the risk of the gas in the equipment posing an explosion hazard is minimized when
an emergency situation is sensed. The evacuated gas is released with sufficient upward
velocity to minimize the risk of the evacuated gas posing an explosion hazard. Similarly,
activation of a relief valve causes the affected equipment to be blown down as fast as
possible when an overpressure situation is sensed in order to minimize the risk of an
explosion.
As shown below and based on the emissions calculations provided as Attachment 2, the
potential emissions of both the piping components and gas releases, as well as emissions
from the three heaters, remain below Title V major source thresholds.
emissions, rather they are considered to be area sources with no single discreet emission
point.
The proposed Project will not trigger nonattainment NSR because potential emissions are
less than the applicable major source emissions thresholds as shown in Table 3-1.
Additionally, the facility remains a true minor source with respect to the PSD regulatory
program. This application therefore proposes a minor modification of the existing
NYSDEC State Part 201-5 air permit to incorporate the new heater, and modify the
emission rates for the increases in fugitive emissions from the piping and gas releases that
are considered significant emission sources as discussed below.
With respect to Part 201 applicability for the piping component fugitives and gas releases,
relevant regulations from Part 201 include 201-3.3(c)(94) and 201-3.3(c)(95). Emissions
of CO2 and methane are considered trivial per 201-3.3(c)(95). Part 201-3.3(c)(94)
exempts the following emissions:
Emissions of water vapor, oxygen, nitrogen, inert gases such as argon,
helium, neon, krypton and xenon, hydrogen, ethane; and
trace constituents included in raw materials where the constituents are less
than:
o 1% by weight for any regulated air pollutant, or
o 0.1 % by weight for any carcinogen.
The natural gas composition has a potential for total VOC to exceed 1% by weight (most
notably propane), and thus, the piping component fugitives and gas releases are subject
to Part 201 air permitting as significant sources. Thus, this application proposes to
increase the permitted fugitive VOC and HAP emissions associated with the modified
piping and equipment at the Station. A process flow diagram for the facility significant
and exempt equipment is provided in Attachment 2.
The NYSDEC State Facility Air Permit Application forms provided as Attachment 1
include information for the modified fugitive emissions. The site location for the Ramapo
Meter Station and the locations of the heaters on the site layout are indicated on figures in
Attachment 3.
If you have any questions concerning the attached application, please feel free to call me
at (201) 508-6964.

8. The frequency and duration of events is based on operator experience as to what would reasonably constitute a worst-case scenario.
9. Gas releases from Low Point Drains are not included if there were no modifications to these drains/valves.
