## REVISION TO THE STATE**I~fPLENrENTATION** 

## PLAN (SIP) FORTHE CON'TROL OF OZONE AIR POLLUTION



## Baton Rouge Severe Area Rule Update

## Purpose: Baton Rouge SevereArea NonattainmentRules Update to the Louisiana State Implementation Plan (SIP)

In response to the reclassification ofthe Baton Rouge areafrom "serious"
to "severe" by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) effective June 23, 2003, (68 FR20077) the LouisianaDepartment ofEnvironmental Quality (LDEQ) promulgated revisions to the air quality regulations inthe LouisianaAdministrative Code (LAC). This SIP submittal includes revisions ofChapter 5, PermitProcedures; Chapter 21, Control of Emission ofOrganic Compounds; and Chapter22, Control ofEmissions ofNitrogen Oxides (NOx). LDEQ is incorporating these rule revisions into the SIP to fulfill the requirements ofthe "severe" classification mandated by the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of1990.



## Authority: Revisions to or adoptions ofthe Air Quality rules and regulations are made in accordance with LouisianaRS 30:2019. This SIP revision is submitted in accordance with40 CFR Part 51 Appendix V andpolicy establishedby Region 6.



## Chapter5 - PermitProcedures (Appendix A): Section 182(d) ofthe CAAA required the Baton Rouge areato lowerthe major stationary source threshold for VOC and NOx emissions from 50 tons per year (tpy) to 25 tpy. As aresult, additional sources have become subject to the Title V operating permits program. The affected sources are those with apotential to emit at least 25 tpy ofeitherVOC orNOx, orboth VOC and NOx, as well as any new major stationary source. All facilities that were impactedby this requirement had an application deadline ofJune 23, 2004, according to LAC

### 33:lII.507.C.3. This rule revision also includes aclarification ofthe internal offset ratio thatfacilities must meet dependentuponthe date that apermit application is deemed administratively complete.


## Chapter 21

- Control of Emission of Organic Compounds (Appendix B): LDEQ revised LAC 33:III Chapter 21 to establish requirements in the 5-parish Baton Rouge

area for smaller VOC sources - equal to or greaterthan twenty-five tons per year and less than fifty tons per year. LDEQ estimates that 16 facilities will be affected by the proposedrevision. The following sections ofChapter21 have been revised: 21 04

- Crude Oil and Condensate 2108

- Marine Recovery 2115

- Waste Gas Disposal 2123

- Organic Solvents 2125

- VaporDegreasers 2143

- Limiting VOC Emissions from SOCMI Reactor Processes and Distillation Operations 2149

- Limiting VOC Emissions from BatchProcessing 2151

- Limiting VOC Emissions from Cleanup SolventProcessing 2153

- Limiting VOC Emissions from Industrial Wastewater


## Chapter22

- Control ofEmissions ofNitrogen Oxide (Appendix C): LDEQ revised LAC 33 :III Chapter22 to establishrequirements inthe 5-parish Baton Rouge area for smallerNOx sources - equal to or greaterthantwenty-five tons per year and less than fifty tons per year. All otherprovisions ofChapter 22 remainthe same.

Under the authority of the Environmental Quality Act, R.S. 30:200I et seq., and in accordance with the provisions ofthe Administrative Procedure Act, R.S. 49:950 et seq., the secretary has amended the Air regulations, LAC 33:III.504 (Log#AQ235).

The purpose ofthe Rule change is to clarify the internal offset ratio that facilities must meet in serious and severe ozone nonattainment areas. The Baton Rouge Nonattainment Area has been reclassified from serious to severe as a result of failure to reach ozone attainment levels as mandated by the Clean Air Act. This action has been mandated by the US EPA. The basis and rationale for this Rule are to comply with the provisions ofthe Clean AirAct Amendments.

This Rule meets an exception listed in R.S. 30:2019(D)(2) and R.S. 49:953(G)(3); therefore, no report regarding environmentallhealth benefits and social/economic costs is required. This proposed Rule has no known impact on family formation, stability, and autonomy as described in R.S. 49:972. Department ofEnvironmental Quality

### Concise Statement - AQ235 Amendments to the Air Quality Regulations Nonattainment New Source Review Procedures LAC 33:111.504
Concise Statement arguments: FOR: rr-he reason supporting WHY the suggestion in the comment should be adopted by DEQ. Usually this is the commentor's perspective.] AGAINST:


### COMMENT 1: [The reason WHY the department feels the suggestion should NOT be adopted.] 

### §504.A.6
- The proposed provisions of Subsection 504.A.6. provide both the Department and the regulated community with a "bright-line" date for the treatment of permit applications during the transition between the ozone "serious" and "severe" provisions. The selection of the "administratively complete" step in the permit process is the appropriate date. Facilities which submitted applications in good faith underthe "serious" requirements should be protected from the costs of reapplication if a "complete" application was submitted. Failure to select an appropriate "bright line" date imposes on both the Department and the regulated community unnecessary administrative burden and delays. No arguments necessary; comment does not suggest amendment or change. RESPONSE 1:

COMMENT 2: - The department appreciates the support.

§504.D.3
- The commentor supports retention of the "in lieu of LAER" provisions. These provisions provide the regulated community flexibility in determining new control requirements required by NSR permitting and results via greater emission reductions than those achieved by a "LAER only" provision. This option is authorized by the Clean Air Act and should be retained. No arguments necessary; comment does not suggest amendment or change. RESPONSE 2:
- The department appreciates the support.Page 1 of 1 AQ235 Key October 20, 2003

Ms. Lynn Wilbanks Regulation Development Section Department ofEnvironmental Quality Post Office Box 4314 Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70821-4314 Re: Proposed NSR Amendments Log #AQ-235 DearMrs. Wilbanks: The Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association appreciates the opportunity to submit the following comments on the proposed amendments to the amendments to the New Source Review (NSR) Permit requirements (Log #AQ-235) which appeared in the August 20, 2003 Louisiana Register. Mid-Continent is an industry trade association which represents individuals and companies who together produce, transport, refine and market crude oil, natural gas, petroleum products and electric power in Louisiana. Several Mid-Continent members in the Baton Rouge area are subject to the NSR permitting rules. Mid-Continent supports the proposed amendments to the NSR rules. The proposed provisions ofSubsection 504.A.6. provide both the Department and the regulated community with a "bright-line" date for the treatment ofpermit applications during the transition between the ozone "serious" and "severe" provisions. The selection ofthe "administratively complete" step in the permit process is the appropriate date. Facilities which submitted applications in good faith under the "serious" requirements should be protected from the costs ofreapplication if a "complete" application was submitted. Failure to select an appropriate "bright line" date imposes on both the Department and the regulated community unnecessary administrative burden and delays. Once again, MidContinent supports the proposed subsection. In 

### addition, Mid-Continent supports retention of the "in lieu of LAER" provisions of Subsection 504.D.3. These provisions provide the regulated community flexibility in determining new control requirements required by NSR permitting and results via greater emission reductions than those achieved by a "LAER only" provision. This option is authorized by the Clean AirAct and should be retained. Once again, Mid-Continent appreciates the opportunity to submit these comments. Sincerely,

Richard T. Metcalf Health, Safety and Environmental

### NOTICE OFINTENT DepartmentofEnvironmental Quality Office ofEnvironmental Assessment

Environmental Planning Division Repeal ofInterpollutantTrading (LAC 33:111.504) (AQ242) Underthe authority ofthe Environmental Quality Act, R.S. 30:2001 et seq., and in accordance with the provisions ofthe Administrative Procedure Act, R.S. 49:950 et seq., the secretary gives notice thatrulemaking procedures have been initiated to amend the Air regulations, LAC 33:III.504 (Log #AQ242). This rule revision proposes to disallow interpollutant trading and repeals the option ofusing creditable nitrogen oxide (NOx) reductions to offset significantincreases ofvolatile organic compounds (VOC). The Baton Rouge ozone nonattainment area has not attained the one-hour ozone airquality standard. Some exceedances in the area characterized by rapid ozone formation may have been caused by releases ofhighly reactive VOc. The rule revision is proposed to preventpossible increases in these types ofoccurrences. The basis and rationale ofthis proposed rule revision is to provide more protection for airquality in the Baton Rouge ozone nonattainment area. This proposedrule meets an exception listed in R.S. 30:2019(0)(2) and R.S. 49:953(G)(3); therefore, no reportregarding environmental/health benefits and social/economic costs is required. This proposedrule has no known impact on family formation, stability, and autonomy as described in R.S. 49:972.
