Southern Natural Gas Company LLC, Rose Hill Compressor Station, located at Latitude: 32.140723 Longitude: -88.912772  in Enterprise MS, Clarke County, has applied to the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) for the following permitting action(s): Permit to Construct, Air Ref. No. 0440-00071. The applicant's operations fall within SIC Code 4922.  A Statement of Basis has been prepared that contains a discussion of the decision-making that went into the development of the permit and provides the permitting authority, the public, and other government bodies a record of the technical issues surrounding issuance of the permit. The Statement of Basis also addresses any changes to emissions and/or discharges resulting from any modification of the facility.  
The Rose Hill Compressor Station's primary function is the transportation of natural gas along a pipeline by receiving low-pressure inlet natural gas and then compressing the gas to increase the pressure in the pipeline and maintain the downstream flow. The facility has the following emissions sources: one (1) natural gas fired emergency generator,  two (2) compressor turbines, one (1) turbine fuel line heater, miscellaneous space and water heaters, a pipeline condensate tank, a parts degreaser, pipe and equipment fugitives, Truck Loading, and emergency shutdown activities.
The facility's uncontrolled emissions for all criteria pollutants fall well below the respective Title V thresholds. Due to this, the facility is not required to undertake any type of enforceable emissions limit and meets the applicability to be classified as a True Minor Source. However, since the facility’s emissions for CO, NOX and VOC are greater than 10% of the Title V threshold, the facility is required to obtain a construction permit. 
The staff of the Permit Board has developed this draft permit based on information submitted to the Permit Board by the applicant, appropriate State and Federal agencies and other interested parties. The staff of the Permit Board is soliciting all relative information pertaining to the proposed activity, including public comment, to ensure that the final staff recommendation on the draft permit complies with all State and Federal regulations.

The draft permit conditions have been developed to ensure compliance with all State and Federal regulations but are subject to change based on information received as a result of public participation.
