PUBLIC NOTICE State of Wyoming, Department of Environmental Quality/Division of Air Quality Draft Operating Permit
Chapter 6, Section 3(d)(ix) of the Wyoming Air Quality Standards and Regulations provides, prior to final determination on an application for a Chapter 6, Section 3 operating permit, opportunity be given for public comment and public hearing on the information submitted by the owner or operator and on the draft permit. The regulation further requires such information be made available to the public and the public be allowed a period of thirty (30) days to submit comments. A public hearing will be conducted only if, in the opinion of the Administrator, sufficient interest is generated or if an aggrieved party requests a hearing within the 30 day public comment period.
Notice is hereby given on September 10, 2025 that the State of Wyoming, Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Air Quality, proposes to issue a modified Chapter 6, Section 3 operating permit to the following applicant for the Bucking Horse Plant in Converse County, Wyoming:
Jackalope Gas Gathering Services, LLC 1300 Main Street Houston, TX 77002
The Bucking Horse Plant is located in Section 15, Township 32 North, Range 72 West, Converse County, Wyoming (approximately 5 miles west-southwest of Douglas, Wyoming). The facility is a sweet gas processing plant. The pollutants of primary concern from this facility are: Nitrogen Oxides (NOX), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
Chapter 6, Section 3 does not impose new substantive requirements on an air pollution source but does require sources subject to the Operating Permit Program obtain a renewable operating permit that clarifies in a single document which air quality requirements apply to the source and provides methods for assessing the source's compliance with those requirements.
This permit is being modified to incorporate requirements of a recently issued construction permit. This modification reflects an estimated increase in yearly potential emissions of 9 tons of NOx. Only the modified portions of the permit are open for public comment.
