West Virginia list of permit types; Class II GP differs from Class I in that public notice is required and fee is higher. Note that G80-A is intended to supersede G30-D, G35-A and G70-A, and is now in draft stage, with due date of March 30, 2015 for written comments. draft natural gas facility Class II GP.G80-A
natural gas well-site Class II GPslide show of proposed rule (is now effective)
Class II GP reciprocating gas-fired engines. Paragraph 2.3.4 says "All emission units except for emergency diesel generators . . . must be fueled with pipeline-quality natural gas, field gas, propane gas, or equivalent with a maximum sulfur content of 20 grains of sulfur per 100 standard cubic feet and a maximum H2S content of 0.25 grains per 100 cubic feet of gas (maximum allowed to have in natural gas sold for delivery through the interstate pipeline system)." Not sure that this definition of pipeline gas fuel quality is consistent with what I learned elsewhere.G30-D, fs
Class I GP reciprocating gas-fired spark-ignition engines. For engines GE. 25 hp and LE. 500 hp individually. No limit on aggregate hp, but facility-wide estimated aggregate emissions that exceed six pounds per hour AND ten tons per year for NOx, CO, SO2, VOC or PM render the GP inapplicable. That "AND" (capitalized in the text) sure is funky. It must mean that if you emit 26 TPY at a constant rate of 5.94 lb/hr, then you're below the threshold. Likewise, if you blow off 19,900 lbs in the space of a single hour, you're also below threshold. Same language for fuel quality as in G30D, except the backup generator language is omitted.G33-A, fs
