Transwestern Pipeline Company

Transwestern has run into some problems with the air permit conditions for
the Redrock Expansion. For the state permits, the ADEQ wants to abitrarily
set a 10% safety factor to the emissions levels which approach PSD. This
means that they have written into the draft permit a reduction in the
allowable hours of operation for the generator from 8760 to 7800. This
generator is the facility's prime source of power and therefore, needs to be
operated for 8760 hours. Transwestern will challenge the agency's authority
to apply a 10%safety factor.

For the Indain lands permits, the EPA has written a permit condition of 25
ppmvd for NOx and CO under all operating conditions. Manufacturerers
guarantees only apply at 25 ppmvd at loads above 65% and at 0F. It appears
that Transwestern may have convenienced the EPA to back away from permit
limits in ppmvd and include as permit conditons lb/hr and ton/yr emissions
limits that Transwestern originally placed into its applications.

Northern Natural Gas Company

A standard exemption for the NNG Martin Co. No. 1 facility was submitted to
the TNRCC. Preliminary maintenance activities and newly published AP-42
emissions factors have shown that the Martin Co. 1 facility may be a Title V
facility. Under the old AP-42 factors, the units at the facility were not
greater than 100 ton/year sources. Continued investigation is being
conducted to determine emissions levels from the units at the facility.

EOTT
A request and supporting documentation was submitted to the TNRCC to remove
the EOTT Crane facility from the Title V operating permit program. New data
on the crude oil received into the facility shows the emissions limits for
VOCs to be less than the Title V regulated limit.

General

Preparations are being finalized for the environmental roundtable to be held
next week in Albuquerque.
