Section D of Facility Permit, ID# 800264 The below permit for H3A/B (D179) in P1/S5 of Section D has been corrected to reflect the changes approved under A/N 309885 in 1996 for SOx Supercompliant status. In 2000, EOC submitted subsequent A/N 372730 to change the classification of D179 from SOx Supercompliant to Compliant under the Districts RECLAIM program but later cancelled the application in 2001. However, this change was made in FP by the permit engineer and was not rolled back after A/N 372730 was cancelled. This change should not be viewed as a relaxation of monitoring, recordkeeping or reporting requirements but as an administrative correction. Attachment 1 contains a copy of EOCs request letter to cancel A/N 372730 and Districts memo to file.

sold to other refineries for further processing into high value gasoline and diesel products. The refinery operates in a batch mode where it only operates to fulfill asphalt sales requirement and then shutdown until its inventory of asphalt is depleted. Because the refinery does not crack, hydrotreat or reform any crude oil fractions, it does not have the ability to produce large quantities of refinery/waste/flare gases which require large flare systems common in typical refineries. As such, there is no flare system at ECO but instead a waste heat boiler/incinerator that disposes the waste gases generated from its batch operation. The refinery is identified as a RECLAIM/Title V facility. The initial Title V permit was issued to EOC on October 1, 2009. In late 1995, EOC submitted change of condition applications 309884 and 309885 to reclassify its waste heat boiler/incinerator B-501 (D38) and vacuum charge heater H3A/B (D179) as Process Unit instead of Major Source under the District RECLAIM program pursuant to Rule 2011(c)(4). Under the provision of subparagraph (c)(4), which became possible only with the amendment of Rule 2011 on 9/8/95, EOC was able to be classified as a Supercompliant Facility because it has demonstrated the facilitys SOx emissions was at or below its adjusted 2003 SOx allocation as of their 1994 compliance year. As a Super Compliant Facility, the Major SOx sources at EOC may be reclassified as Process Units. This reclassification was suggested to EOC by the District as a way to avoid the costs of installing CEMS for these two devices, which was determined (by source test at the time) to emit only ~ 5 lbs/day of SOx and deemed not cost effective. The PCs, granting provisional Supercompliant status to D38 and D179, were issued in January 1996. Please see file 309884 for additional background information. Concurrently, around the same time frame in 1995, EOC also was granted POs 301529, 301530, 301527 to operate three of its combustion devices, heater H-201 (D187), boiler B301 (D196), heater H-53 (D280), to run exclusively on NG as part of the facilitys effort to attain SOx Supercompliant status. In the late 1990s, EOC submitted A/Ns 336128, 339741 and 357907 for D187, D196 and D280, respectively, to install low-NOx burners to comply with Rule 1146 NOx emissions limit. The PCs for D187, D196 and D280 were issued on 2/13/98, 7/21/98 and 8/19/99, respectively. Since the burner modifications for these combustion devices have been completed and source test results have demonstrated compliance with Rule 1146 limits and permit requirements, part of this evaluation is for PO issuance for D187, D196 and D280. A copy of the source test report and email response from EOC on the completion of the low-NOx burner installation are contained in the application folder of 336128, 339741 and 357907 for reference. In early 2000, EOC submitted applications 367625 and 368878 to secure permits to modify the refinery fuel gas treating system and B-501 to finalize its plan to attain SOx

Supercompliant status under the Districts Reg XX. The project entailed a change in the routing of the vacuum units tail gas from vacuum feed heaters H3A/B (D179) and H-201 (D187) to boiler/incinerator B-501 (D38) for disposal. As part of this project, two new compressors, C-202 A/B (D295), were installed under A/N 367625 to boost the vacuum units overhead gas pressure so the gas can be routed to the firebox of D38 for incineration. A/N 368878 was for modification of D38 to receive vacuum unit tail gas along with the other refinery fuel gases in the header system. PCs 367625 and 368878 were issued on 10/4/00 and 9/27/00, respectively. During this time, D38 had provisional supercompliant status under A/N 309884 and final supercompliant status was anticipated after construction is completed and the boiler is source tested. EOC notified the District on 6/7/02 that this project was completed and source tests have resumed to comply with the requirements to attain final supercompliant status for SOx. In 2001, change of condition A/N 383221 (subsequent to 368878) was submitted by EOC requesting to change the RECLAIM NOx emission factor for D38 from 37 ppmv to 81 ppmv to accurately reflect that it operates as a boiler/incinerator, operating at a minimum temperature of 1400F (pursuant to permit condition C8.1), and not a boiler/fired heater. Additionally, a change to the RECLAIM SOx emission factor from 16.9 lbs/MMScf to 0.0299 lbs/bbl (of feed) was requested based on initial source test pursuant to Rule 2011 (c)(4)(C). Part of this evaluation will cover the PO issuance for the modification of D38 under A/N 368878 along with the change in NOx/SOx emission factors and will be made under A/N 383221. A/N 368878 will be cancelled. Later in 2007, A/N 471236 (subsequent to 367625) was submitted by EOC to administratively change the description of compressors C-202 A/B (D295) to be identified as an off-gas compressor instead of a vent gas compressor. This administrative change was issued on 4/11/08 under PC 471236. Note that when PC 471236 was issued, only D295 was tagged with A/N 471236 instead of the entire permit unit (P3/S4) in Section H of the permit. This anomaly will be corrected under this PO evaluation and the entire permit unit will be tagged to A/N 471236 when it is moved to Section D of the facility permit. A/N 367625 will be cancelled.

Change of ownership. Change of condition to reclassify B-501 as process unit under the provisions of Reg XX Supercompliant status for SOx. Provisional Supercompliant status was granted. As part of the facility modification to attain final Supercompliant status, D38 was modified to receive off gas from the vacuum units instead of previously routing it to H3A/B and H-201 for disposal. Application submitted to change RECLAIM NOx emission factor from 37 ppmv to 81 ppmv because factor reflects process heater instead actual operation as an incinerator.

The overhead liquid fraction is sold to oil refineries for further processing into gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. The heavy bottoms are sent to the refinerys asphalt blowing (oxidizing) stills, where air is use to blow the asphalt at 400-500F to produce different consistencies of asphalt product for sale to the roofing and road paving industries. The light ends stream from the atmospheric/vacuum units, together with the fumes from the asphalt blowing plant, are now all routed through caustic scrubbers to the firebox of boiler/incinerator B-501 (D38) for disposal. Prior to modification of the facility to attain final SOx Supercompliant status, the offgas from the atmospheric/vacuum units was routed solely to the vacuum tower heaters, H3A/B (D179) and H-201 (D187), for disposal and B-501 (D38) was used to incinerate the gas fumes from the asphalt blowing plant. Post modification, the consolidation of the atmospheric/vacuum units offgas with the asphalt blowing plant fumes has enabled D179 and D187 to operate exclusively on NG, resulting in D38 being the only combustion device in the refinery that runs on Refinery Gas, Process Gas and NG. The simplified pre and post modification PFDs below summarize the changes made by EOC. Pre-Modification PFD o.1: H3A/B and H-201 for refinery fuel gas treating/disposal: In addition to the two heaters, caustic scrubber D-402 (D300), knockout drum D-404 (D201) and two ejectors EJ-202A/B (D301) were located on the two vacuum tower overhead systems upstream of the two heaters.

Pre-Modification PFD o.2 - B-501 for asphalt blowing stills gas treating/disposal: Although B-501 treated a different type of emissions than process heaters H3A/B and H-201, both systems shared similarities. As with the H3A/B and H-201 system above, a caustic scrubber D-455 (D20) and knockout drum D-453 (D19) are installed upstream of B-501. Both control systems are designed for the removal of hydrogen sulfide with caustic solution to reduce SOx emissions. PFD o.2 B-501

Post Modification PFD: Combined Gas Treating/Disposal System: In its effort to attain final supercompliant status for SOx, EOC combined the above two systems into one system which allowed H3A/B and H-201 to run exclusively on NG and routed all refinery fuel gas to B-501 for disposal. This was accomplished by adding a new caustic scrubber D-522 (C376) to handle sour gas from the asphalt blowing stills and dedicating existing caustic scrubbers D20 and D300 (configured in series) to treat the offgas from the vacuum/atmospheric units instead of just D300. The reconfiguration resulted in an increase in pressure drop which required the installation of two new compressors to boost the pressure to 5 psig to enable the offgas to reach B-501. The new compressors (each rated at 7.5 HP) were installed under A/N 367625 as discussed. Under normal operations, only one compressor is in use while the other acts as a backup. In the event excess offgas is produced

EMISSIO S An increase in fugitive emissions resulted from the addition of fugitive components associated with the new compressors C-202 A/B in the refinery fuel gas treating system. In additions, the emissions from H3A/B, H-201 and B-501 also changed with the change in fuel characteristic to these combustion devices as described earlier. However, the overall net emissions change from this entire project is minimal as shown below in Table 9. This PO emissions analysis takes into account the final (as-built) fugitive components actually installed and includes the concurrent emissions change for H3A/B and H-201, which was not accounted for during the PC evaluation.

A/ s 367625, 471236 (P3/S4) The emissions increase from project 367625 was estimated to be 2.4 lbs of ROG per day during the PC stage and are solely from new fugitive components. The emission factors used at the time were based on a memorandum from Jay Chen dated 4-2-99 for fugitive emissions that included BACT and LAER. Table 7 below summarizes the total pre and post project fugitive count and emissions calculation for this project using PC emission factors and also emission factors derived from the Correlation Equation Method. The PC emissions analysis is contained in Attachment 1, 2 and 3 of the PC 367625 evaluation. EOC provided ERC to offset the 1 lb/day increase during the PC stage and the modification complied with BACT.

Using Correlation Equation Method*. See Appendix 1 for analysis.

*Since the issuance of the PC in 2000, the refinery permitting unit has adopted the Correlation Equation Method for calculating fugitive emissions pursuant to AQMDs Guideline for Fugitive Emissions Calculations (June 2003, Method 2). The emission factors derived from this method is believed to be more accurate than the emissions factors used during the PC stage. Therefore, fugitive emissions for this project were recalculated using this method for NSR update (see Attachment 2). As shown above, the PC emissions should be 0.03 lb/day instead of the 1.4 lbs/day that was entered in NSR during the PC stage. Since EOC has already provided 1 lb/day of ROG ERC during the PC stage using previous emission factors, EOC will only need to provide an additional 1 lb/day of ERC to offset the 2 lb/day (1.56 x 1.2 offset ratio = 1.87 = 2 lb/day) increase in fugitive ROG emissions using the Correlation Equation Method. As explained earlier, the entire permit unit (P3/S4) will be moved to Sec D of the facility permit under A/N 471236 (subsequent administrative PC to PC 67625) and A/N 367625 will be cancelled.

EVALUATIO : PART 1 Rule 212 SCAQMD REGULATIO S Standards for Approving Permits ovember 14, 1997 The subject permit units in this evaluation met all criteria in Rule 212 for PC issuance and were expected to operate without emitting air contaminants in violation of Division 26 of the State H&SC or in violation of AQMD rules and regulations. Public notice was not required per Rule 212 because it was determined in the PC evaluations that: R212(c)(1) The subject permit units are well beyond 1000 feet from the outer boundary of a school. R212(c)(2) The emissions increase was determined to be well below the daily maximum specified in R212(g). Rule 212(c)(3) There was no increase in exposure to TAC such that the MICR is greater than 1 in a million.

The adjustment in fugitive emissions for the Refinery Fuel Gas Treating System (P3/S4) based on final fugitive counts (using the Correlation Equation Method) resulted in an increase of 2 lb/day of ROG from the PC stage, which is well below the 30 lb/day limit specified in R212(g). The recalculation of B-501 emissions from the rerouting of offgas from the vacuum units resulted in a decrease in emissions and the low NOx burner upgrade made to D187, D196 and D280 all resulted in a reduction of NOx emissions.

December 7, 1995 General Paragraph (b) The combustion devices under this evaluation are RECLAIM sources for SOx Applicability and NOx that are subject to Rule 2001. In accordance with Rule 2001(j), the requirement(s) pertaining to SOx or NOx for the rules listed in Tables 1 and 2 are not applicable to RECLAIM sources. Reg XIII is one of the listed rules. Therefore, the requirements specified by this regulation apply to criteria pollutants other than SOx and NOx.

A/N 368878, 383221 (for B-501) During the PC stage for B-501 under A/N 368878 [see PC evaluation dated 9-2000 by ET01 in application folder], it was calculated an increase in ROG, CO and PM emissions was expected but the increases were exempt from the offsets and modeling requirements of Reg XIII pursuant to Rule 1304(c)(4). However, during this PC to PO evaluation, it was discovered that the baseline emissions calculation for A/N 368878 (from previous A/N 309884) used a different HHV value (1000 instead of 1050 BTU/Scf) for NG. Hence, a recalculation of the emissions impact from this project was conducted along with the concurrent emissions change for H3A/B and H-201, which was not accounted for during the PC evaluation. As shown in Table 8 on page 24 of this evaluation, there is no increase in ROG, CO and PM emissions as a result of the modification to B-501. Note that the increase of 0.28 lb/day in PM from baseline (previous A/N 309884) does not constitute a true emissions increase pursuant to Reg XIII (because it is less than 1.0 lb/day). Hence, no offsets and modeling are required. Table 9 on page 24 shows the overall emissions impact from the three affected device for this entire project (of rerouting the offgas to B-501 from H3A/B and H-201) to be negligible. A/N 336128, 339741, 357907 (for H-201, B-301, H-53, respectively) As RECLAIM sources under Rule 2001, only criteria pollutants ROG, CO and

PM emissions are subject to Reg XIII. Nonetheless, this regulation is not applicable because the modification to retrofit the headers and boiler with BARCT (low NOx burner) resulted in an overall emissions decrease for NOx and no change in emissions for SOx, ROG, CO and PM. Therefore, Reg XIII requirements (BACT, offset and modeling) for ROG, CO and PM are not applicable. A/N 367625, 471236 (for C-202A/B in P3/S4) EOC complied with the requirements of Reg XIII by installing all bellow seal valves (BACT) for this project and providing ERC to offset the ROG fugitive emissions increase during the PC stage (see PC 367625 evaluation in application folder). Post modification emissions from the addition of C-202A/B in P3/S4 resulted in a 1.56 lb/day increase from the PC stage as shown in Table 7 on page 20 of this evaluation. Using a 1.2 offset ratio pursuant to Rule 1303(b)(2)(A), the facility needs to provide 2 lb/day of EOC to offset this increase in ROG emissions for PO issuance. PO emissions were based on final fugitive component count by EOC. As discussed in the Emissions section of this evaluation, the change in methodology in calculating emissions (using the Correlation Equation Method) resulted in ROG emissions of 0.02 lb/day instead of 1.4 lb/day in the PC stage. EOC only needs to provide 1 lb/day of ROG ERC now since they already provided 1 lb/day of ROG ERC during the PC stage. Reg XIV
Rule 1401 SR of Toxic Air Contaminants September 10, 2010

There is no increase in ROG emissions for the heaters, boiler and boiler/incinerator from PC to PO under this evaluation. However, there is a small increase in ROG emissions of 0.19 lb/day from the PC stage for the addition of two new compressors for the refinery fuel gas treating system under A/N 367625. This is because post modification emissions, based on final fugitive component count from EOC, is 1.59 lbs/day (using Correlation Equation Method) and the PC emissions was calculated as 1.4 lb/day (using Jay Chen emission factors). The 0.19 lb/hr increase in ROG is expected to increase TAC emissions proportionately. Therefore, post modification TAC emission can be estimated from the TAC emissions calculated during the PC stage, which was 0.0044 lb/yr for Benzene (based on 3 ppm concentration in the offgas stream from applicants

This change in designation would exempt the source from having to install CEMS to monitor SOx emissions. Background Recap As explained in the background section of this evaluation, EOC filed for this supercomplaint status by submitting an application in 1995 for H3A/B and B501. Both were granted provisional supercompliant status at the time the applications were approved. It was expected that after modification of B-501 (to receive the vacuum offgas which previously was sent to H3A/B and H-201 for disposal under subsequent A/N 368878) was completed and source tested, final

supercompliant status would be granted. While final supercompliant status was still pending, EOC submitted subsequent A/N 383221 to change the NOx RECLAIM emissions limit listed in the permit from 37 ppm to 81 ppm. This request was made because the 37 ppm limit listed in the permit does not reflect the operation of the unit as an incinerator but that of a process heater .

Compliance of this subsection for Supercompliant status is met. Subsection (A)(ii): Pursuant to the requirements of this subsection, EOC conducted source tests in accordance to subsection (C) of this rule to establish an equipment specific emission rate for B-501. An emission rate of 0.0299 lbs SOx/bbl asphalt feed has been established and will be incorporated in the permit as part of the PO issuance for B-501 under A/N 383221. The Districts evaluation of the source tests conducted from 1998 through 2003 to establish this equipment specific emission rate is contained in Attachment 4 for reference. Additionally, the facilitys total annual SOx emissions as reported under APEP has not exceeded its adjusted compliance year 2003 Allocation of 13,900 lbs/yr as shown above. Compliance with this subsection has been met and final Supercompliant status for B-501 is recommended. Note that subsequently in October 2005, EOC requested the emission rate be adjusted to 0.01 lbs SOx/bbl feed to reflect the addition of a new caustic scrubber upstream of B-501 to treat the AB product fumes for H2S removal in an effort to further reduce SOx emissions. Source test data was provided to STE but no official approval has been made yet. In the event EOC is granted approval of a new emission rate for B-501 by District STE, a permit application will need to be submitted to incorporate this change in the permit.

Hence, B-501 operates at a much higher temperature (> 1400F) as compared to process heaters/boilers and NOx emissions is therefore expected to be much higher. As truly an incinerator and not a boiler, EOC proposes to reclassify the unit as such and use the RECLAIM emission factor of 0.104 lbs NOx/MScf (equivalent to ~81 ppmv concentration limit) fuel gas consumed in the unit as referenced in Rule 2002 for incinerators. Attachment 5 is a copy of Table 1 from Rule 2002 for reference. As required under subparagraph (3) of Rule 2012 (f), EOC has conducted source test to demonstrate the proposed emission factor of 0.104 lbs NOx/MScf is reliable, accurate and representative for the purpose of calculating NOx emissions. Attachment 6 contains the source test summary for the test conducted on March 27, 2001. The full report is contained in application folder 383221 for reference.

Per AQMD guidelines for Title V permits, the redesignation of B-501 as a Process Unit under the Districts RECLAIM program with new SOx emission factor (pursuant to Rule 2011(c)(4)(A)(ii)(C) discussed above) and new emissions factor for NOx (from the reclassification of B-501 as an incinerator) constitute a Minor Title V permit revision. Therefore, a copy of the proposed permit and engineering evaluation will be submitted to EPA for review. Please note that the RECLAIM redesignation for B-501 is not a relaxation of monitoring/reporting requirements since B-501 was already granted provisional Supercompliant status (without having to install CEMS) and the current permit action is merely to grant final Supercompliant status after the facility has demonstrated compliance with Rule 2011(c).
