On July 5, 2005, the EPA received a petition from Jeremy Nichols requesting that EPA object to the issuance of the title V operating permit to the Colorado Interstate Gas Company—Latigo Station (Latigo). Mr. Nichols asserts that the permit: (1) Fails to ensure compliance with volatile organic compound and hazardous air pollutant emission standards for the glycol dehydrator; (2) fails to require opacity monitoring; and (3) fails to appropriately control volatile organic compound emissions from internal combustion engines.
