The Pima County Department of Environmental Quality (PDEQ) proposes to revise the El Paso Natural Gas, L.L.C (EPNG) existing Air Quality Permit No. 425. EPNG is located at 1200 South Rita Road, Tucson Arizona 85747. EPNG is proposing to install gas cooling equipment and gas recirculation for compression to allow for operational flexibility. An emergency generator is also proposed to be added to the site. The proposed project (herein known as the piping modification project) expects to trigger a major modification for Nitrogen Oxide (NOX) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) subject to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permitting pursuant to title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, section 52.21 (40 CFR 52.21). PDEQ is holding a virtual Open House on March 9, 2021 from 5:00-6:30 p.m. and a virtual formal Public Hearing on March 16, 2021, from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
