Tennessee Gas Pipeline

SERVICE:

Air Permit Applications

DESCRIPTION:

Tech Environmental has prepared dozens of air permit applications and noise impact assessments for gas compressor stations located along the Tennessee Gas Pipeline system. These air permit application projects were successfully completed on fast-track schedules working with the Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company and the State permitting agency. Applications and assessments were performed for 26 compressor stations in Massachusetts, Kentucky, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.

Tech's work for these stations included construction and state minor source permits for new reciprocating engine-compressors and gas turbine-drive compressors including Best Available Control Technology (BACT) analysis to determine emission controls and emission rates and dispersion modeling for the analysis of air quality impacts; major source Title V operating permit applications; permit applications to address Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) requirements for NOx from reciprocating engines and gas turbines; and permit applications to apply emission controls to reduce NOx emissions from compressor engines as part of the state Early Reduction Credit (ERC) program. The ERCs are applied towards achieving compliance with future NOx emission requirements for other compressor engines. Tech Environmental has also provided sound level surveys and noise impact analyses for these compressor stations to support Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) licensing and local permitting requirements.

Key Points

  • The Tennessee Gas Pipeline system periodically requires fast-track air quality and noise services to satisfy permitting requirements for its gas compressor stations.
  • Tech Environmental has prepared air permit applications for 26 stations in the TGP system, along with sound level surveys and noise impact analyses.
