The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) proposes to issue an Owner Requested Limit approval (ORL) to the Northstar Caribou Crossing Compressor Facility, under Alaska Statutes 46.14 and regulation 18 AAC 50.
Applicant: Hilcorp Alaska, LLC, 3800 Centerpoint Dr., Ste. 1400, Anchorage, AK 99503
Location: Prudhoe Bay, North Slope, Alaska Northing 7801.314 km, Easting 441.228 km
Activity: This permit action establishes CO emission limits to below Title V thresholds. This public notice is for the preliminary ORL only.
Emissions: The potential to emit regulated air pollutants at the stationary source will not exceed 99.9 tons per year of carbon monoxide. This limit will also keep other regulated air pollutants below 100 tons per year. By limiting the emissions, the stationary source avoids the requirement to obtain an air quality control operating permit under AS 46.14.130(b) and 18 AAC 50.326(a).
ADEC Preliminary Review: Based on review of the application, ADEC drafted a preliminary ORL approval for the Northstar Caribou Crossing Compressor Facility.
Available Information: Copies of ADEC’s preliminary approval and preliminary ORL are available at:
ADEC/APP 410 Willoughby, Suite 303, Juneau, AK 99801-1795, (907) 465-5100
The preliminary ORL is also available at ADEC’s website at: http://dec.alaska.gov/Applications/Air/airtoolsweb/AirPermitsApprovalsAndPublicNotices. Copies of the application are available at the ADEC offices listed above.
