PERMIT NAME: Minor Source Construction Permit issued under the authority of the Air Pollution Control Board

APPLICANT NAME AND REGISTRATION NUMBER: Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC; 21599

FACILITY NAME AND ADDRESS: ACP – Dominion Energy Buckingham Compressor Station; 5297 S. James River Hwy, Wingina, VA 24599

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC has applied for a new permit to build the Buckingham Compressor Station (ACP-2). The facility is a natural gas pipeline compressor station. It will be classified as a minor source of air pollution. The maximum annual emissions of air pollutants from the facility under the proposed permit are expected to be: 34.2 tons per year (TPY) of nitrogen oxides, 39.2 TPY carbon monoxide, 9.8 TPY volatile organic compounds, 8.3 TPY sulfur dioxide, 43.2 TPY of particulate (PM10 and PM2.5). The applicant proposes to use approximately 4,550 million cubic feet of natural gas for fuel. The technology that will be used to control the air pollution from the facility is selective catalytic reduction for the control of nitrogen oxides; oxidation catalyst for the control of carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, and formaldehyde; natural gas, inlet air filters, and good combustion practices for control of sulfur dioxide and particulate; and a vent gas reduction system to reduce the venting of natural gas to control volatile organic compounds and hexane. The estimated effect on air quality near the facility from the proposed project is that all emissions will comply with all applicable ambient air quality standards.
