INTRODUCTION 

PURPOSE 

This State Implementation Plan (SIP) submittal incorporates revisions made to Louisiana 

Administrative Code (LAC) 33:1II.Chapters 5, 21, and 28 during 2002. In agreement with 105 

grant objectives, the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) is incorporating 

revisions made to regulations included in the Louisiana SIP. All of the revised regulations 

incorporate changes made during 2002, which have not yet been sent to EPA for approval and 

inclusion in Louisiana's SIP. 

AUTHORITY 

Revisions or adoptions to the Air Quality rules and regulations are made in accordance 

with Louisiana R. S. 30:2019. The SIP revision is made in accordance with 40 Code of Federal 

Regulations (CPR) Part 51 Appendix V and policy established by EPA Region 6.

Note. The Notice oflntent for AQ 219A published on March 20, 2002, incorrectly stated that the rulemaking was applicable to Calcasieu Parish only. 

Revisions to LAC 33.III.2103 included in AQ 219A are applicable statewide. Revisions to LAC 33.III.2104, 2115, 2122, 2123, 2125, 2143 and 2153 

are applicable to Calcasieu Parish only. Because ofthis error, the Notice oflntent for AQ 219A was corrected and republished with a new public 

hearing date and comment period. The text of the amended regulation did not change.

RULE

Environmental Planning Division 

Permit Procedures-Insigniticant Activities List 

(LAC JJ:II1.50 1 )(AQ222) 

Under the authority of the Environmental Quality Act, 

R.S. 30:2001 et seq., and in accordance with the provisions 

of the Administrative Procedure Act, R.S. 49:950 et seq., the 

secretary had amended the Air Quality regulations, LAC 

33:III.50l (Log #AQ222). 

This rule adds activities to the "Insignificant Activities 

List." These activities (LAC 33:III.50 l.B.5) are approved by 

the permitting authority as insignificant on the basis of size, 

emission or production rate, or type of pollutant. By such 

listing. the permitting authority exempts certain sources or 

types of sources from the requirement to cbtain a pennit 

under LAC 33:III.Chapter 5, unless it is detemtined by the 

permitting authority on a site·specitic basis that any such 

exemption is not appropriate. The regulated community has 

asked for an expansion of the "Insignificant Activities List" 

under LAC 33:III.Chapter 5.Pemtit Procedures. Previously, 

the list included approximately 45 activities or emission 

sources that produce air pollutants in such small amounts 

that they are exempted from the requirement to obtain a 

permit under Chapter 5. This rule adds ten i..nsignificant 

activities to the list. This addition will benetit existing 

permitted sources in reducing the number of temporary 

variances or permit minor modifications they are required to 

obtain from the department. For example, a vatiance was 

required to bring in a small portable gasoline tank used to 

fuel mobile equipment for a maintenance project. Under the 

expanded list, this does not require a permit action, provided 

the tank emissions from the temporary tank met the 

insignificant standard specified in the regulation. Also, small 

businesses will be aided by reducing the requirements to 

997 

obtain an air emisstons permit or temporary variance, 

particularly when bringing in equipment on a tempo~ 

basis for construction or maintenance activities, prov1ded 

such equipment met all the standards d~f~g an 

insignificant emission source. For example, an e_lC.lstm~ s_mall 

business not otherwise required to have an aU" emiSSions 

permit will not have to obtain a permit to add a ?ermanent 

standby electrical generator for use only durmg power 

outages, provided such use met the standards defining the 

insiuniticant emission source. The basis and rationale for 

this "rule are to further simplify and streamline the permitting 

process involving very small air. emission sources. 

This rule meets an exception listed in R.S. 30:20 19(0)(2) 

and R.S. 49:953(G)(3); therefore, no report regarding 

environmentaVhealth benetits and sociaVeconomic costs is 

required. This rule has no known irnpac~ on . family 

formation, stability, and autonomy as descnbed m R.S. 

49:972.

in the following table are approved by the permitting 

authority as insi~:nificant on the basis of size, e~i~sion or

sources from the requirement to obtain a permit under this 

Chapter unless it is determined by the permittin~ aut~ority 

on a site-specific basis that any such exempt1on IS not 

appropriate. The listing of any activity or emission unit as 

insiuniticant does not authorize the maintenance of a 

nui;:utce or a danger to public health or safety. Any activity 

for which a stale or federal applicable requirement applies is 

not insignificant, even if the activity meets the criteria

- Commentor supports the regulation as a measure that will 

simplify and streamline this permitting process, as well as benefit 

the regulated community and DEQ by reducing the number of 

variance and modification requests relative to insignificant and de 

minimis emissions. 

No arguments necessary; comment does not suggest amendment or change.

COMMENT 2: 

FOR: 

AGAINST: 

RESPONSE 2: 

-The department appreciates the support. 

Subsection 8.43- Include sump systems on platforms which are 

used to collect deck drainage prior to discharge since the nature 

and contents of this vessel are similar to that of the unit described 

in this subsection. Reword the provision: " ... units (e.g. Wemco 

units) and deck drainage collection systems ... in state waters that 

discharge produced water and/or deck drainage in accordance 

with ... ". 

Deck drainage sumps should be included in the provision because 

their function is similar to the regulated equipment. 

Because the unit is significantly different in function from those 

addressed in the proposed regulation, it is inappropriate to include 

Deck drainage sumps in this rule. 

-The department declines this addition at the present time. DEQ 

does not believe the sump is sufficiently similar to a WEMCO unit 

to allow its inclusion at this time. The WEMCO unit continuously 

treats a produced water stream and must meet the regulatory 

concentrations for oil & grease. The deck drainage sump collects 

spills, lube oil drips, deck washings, and rainwater, discharging 

intermittently, provided no free oil is present. The department 

believes this completely different piece of equipment should be

HAND-DELIVERED 

Proposed Revisions to Insignificant Activities List (LAC 33:III.50l.B.5) 

Our File No. 3645-72 

Dear Ms. Deaville: 

On behalf of the Louisiana Chemical Association ("LCA"), I am submitting the 

following comments on the proposed revisions to LAC 33:Ill.50 1.B.5 9f the Louisiana Air 

Quality Regulations. This· rule proposes the addition of activities to the "Insignificant 

Activities List." LCA supports the proposed revisions as beneficial both to the regulated 

community and the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality ("LDEQ"). 

The LCA is anonprofitLouisianacorporation, composed of seventy-five (75) member 

business organizations which conduct manufacturing operations at over one hundred (100) 

plant sites in Louisiana. A large number of LCA members operate pursuant to state air 

permits or Part 70 operating permits and are affected by the activities authorized under 

·LAC 33:III.50l.B.5. LCA appreciates the opportunity to comment on this proposed rule. 

The proposed rule seeks to add ten insignificant activities to the Insignificant 

Activities List. LCA supports the b_asis and rationale of the proposed rule which is intended 

to further simplify and streamline the permitting process concerning small air emissions. The 

proposed rule will further benefit the regulated community and the LDEQ by reducing the 

number of temporary variance requests and/or permit modifications for activities that result 

in insignificant and de minimis emissions. Authorization of certain activities under LAC 

33:III.50 l.B.5 will allow the agency to allocate more resources to other necessary permitting 

398868_1 
Ms. Patsy Deaville 

January 31, 2002

requirements. 

ooooos 

All ofthe activities proposed by the LDEQ must meet the threshold requirements set 

forth in LAC 33:III.50l.B.5. The activities submitted under Subsection A must be listed as 

an insignificant activity or the information must be provided as specified in LAC 33:111.517. 

LCA supports the proposition that an insignificant activity included at a facility after an air 

permit is issued be included in the permit application at renewal. In this situation, the facility 

would send a letter to the LDEQ notifying the agency that the insignificant activity has been 

added and that it meets the c1iteria set forth in Subsection A. The letter would then be 

attached to the existing air permit until added at permit renewal. As specified by the rule, 

Subsection B activities need not be included in a permit application. 

LCA also considers the temporary use of internal combustion diesel engines during 

certain construction and maintenance activities to be authorized under the existing 

Insignificant Activities List. For example, portable diesel engines are typically used during 

turnarounds or other maintenance activities for temporary lighting purposes, to run air 

compressors and pumps, and to heat nitrogen used during equipment clearing operations. 

These activities should be covered under Subsection B.32 of the Insignificant Activities List. 

Engines used to heat nitrogen during clearing operations should also be covered under 

Subection A.l and A.6 if the design rate criteria of the equipment is satisfied. 

If you have any questions concerning these comments, please contact me at (225)382· 

3493, or Henry Graham, in-house counsel for LCA, at (225)344·2609.

Insignificant Activities List . 

Log #AQ~222 

The Louisiana Mid~Continent Oil and Gas Association appreciates the opportunity to submit the following 

conunents on the proposed amendments to the ''Insignificant Activities List" (Log #AQ~222) which 

appeared in the December 20, 2001 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. 

Mid~Continent supports the changes proposed for the "Insignificant Activities List". These amendments 

were the result of significant discussions between the Department and the regulated conununity. The 

majority of the amendments clarify existing language or add temporary minor activities for which facilities 

have sought variances from the Department. The adoption of the amendments will be beneficial to both the 

Department and the regulated community by simplifying permitting and reducing the number of variance 

requests 

Mid~Continent requests the DEQ consider expanding the language in the newly proposed Section B.43 to 

include sump systems on platforms used to collect deck drainage prior to discharge. In the NPDES General 

Permit for the Coastal Waters of Louisiana (LAG330000), the EPA defines "deck drainage" as "all wastes 

resulting from platform washings, deck washings, spills, rainwater and runoff from curbs, gutters, and 

drains including drip pans and wash areas". The EPA, and also the Department in the State LPDES permit, 

place a limit of"no free oil" on the discharges of this stream. 

The deck drain system is a series of pipes connected to a collection separator vessel located below the 

platfonn deck. Any hydrocarbons in this system are either not volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (e.g. 

lube oils) or have "weathered" (i.e. the light hydrocarbon compounds have evaporated) such that there are 

no VOC emissions from the collection separator. 
0000~0 

/ Since the nature and contents of this vessel are similar to that of the unit described in Section B.43, MidContinent believes this section can be amended in the final rule as a technical amendment. Mid-Continent 

offers the following language for the Department's consideration: 

"43. produced water treatment units (e.g. Wemco units) and deck drainage collection systems on 

crude oil and natural gas production platforms in state waters that discharge produced water and/or deck 

drainage in accordance with an LPDES permit. These units are the final step in water treatment prior to 

discharge under the LPDES permit;". 

Once again, Mid-Continent appreciates the Department's willingness to work with the regulated community 

to amend the Insignificant Activities List and the opportunity to submit these comments. 

Very truly yours,

2 MS. CHERYL FLORY: 

3 Good afternoon. My name is Cheryl 

4 Flory. I'm employed with the Louisiana 

5 Department of Environmental Quality. I'll be 

6 serving as hearing officer this afternoon, to 

7 receive comments regarding proposed 

8 amendments to the Air Quality Regulations and 

9 State Implementation Plan, Radiation 

10 Detection Regulations, Underground Storage 

11 Tank Regulations and Water Quality 

12 Regulations. 

13 The comment period for these amendments 

14 began on December 20~ 2001, when the notices 

15 of intent and the potpourris were published 

16 in the Louisiana Register, except for the 

17 proposed revision to the contingency measures 

18 in the proposed SIP, which comment period 

19 began November 20, 2001. The comment period 

20 will close at 4:30p.m. today, January 24, 

21 2002, for the proposed revision to the 

22 contingency measures in the proposed SIP and 

23 log numbers AQ211S and SIP, AQ215S and SIP 

24 and RP028* The comment period will close at 

25 4:30p.m., January 31, 2002, for the log

for all interested parties to present

that each person commenting come up to the 

front, sit at this chair, and begin by 

stating their name and affiliation for the 

record. 

11 The next amendment is designated by the 

12 Log Number AQ222.

List.~ These a~tivities (LAC 33:III.501.B.5) 

are approved by the permitting authority as 

insignificant on the basis of size, emission 

or production rate or type of pollutant. By 

such listing, the permitting authority 

exempts certain sources or types of sources 

from the requirement to obtain a permit under 

LAC 33:III.Chapter 5, unless it is determined 

by the permitting authority on a site24 specific basis that any such exemption is not 

25 appropriate. The regulated community has 

ASSOCIATED REPORTERS, INC. ( 504) 343-2020 
.OOQQ1.6

1 asked for an expansion of the "Insignificant 

2 Activities List" under LAC 33:III.Chapter 5. 

3 Permit Procedures. Currently the list 

4 includes approximately 45 activities or 

5 emission sources that produce air pollutants 

6 in such small amounts that they are exempted 

7 from the requirement to obtain a permit under 

8 Chapter 5. This proposed rule adds ten 

9 insignificant activities to the list. This 

10 addition will benefit existing permitted 

11 sources in reducing the number of temporary 

12 Variances or minor permit modifications they 

13 are required to obtain from the department. 

14 For example, a variance is now required to 

15 bring in a small, portable gasoline tank used 

16 to fuel mobile equipment for a maintenance 

17 project. Under the expanded list, this would 

18 not require a permit action, provided the 

19 tank emissions from the temporary tank met 

20 the insignificant standard specified in the 

21 regulation. Also, small businesses would be 

22 aided by reducing the requirements to obtain 

23 an air emissions permit or temporary 

24 variance, particularly when bringing in 

25 equipment on a temporary basis for

3 defining an oh dear. I'm missing a page. 

4 Lucy, do you have another copy? 

5 MS. KRAFT: 

6 She does. 

7 MS. CHERYL FLORY: 

8 Thank you. I beg your pardon? 

9 Provided such equipment met all the standards 

10 defining an insignificant emission source. 

11 For example, an existing small business not 

12 otherwise required to have an air emissions 

13 permit would not have to obtain a permit to 

14 add a permanent standby electrical generator 

15 for use only during power outages, provided 

16 such use met the standards defining the 

17 insignificant emission source. 

18 Comments will begin with Mr. Henry 

19 Graham. 

20 MR. HENRY GRAHAM: 

2 1 I'm just going to submit written 

22 comments. 

23 MS. CHERYL FLORY:

7 Sure. Oneil Couvillion again. I'm

14 they, I mean I mean I mean, for 

15 instance, do they well well, let's just 

16 say that I believe that that insignificant 

17 could be significant if it's in a non18 attainment zone, and I think that DEQ should 

19 be very careful in what they're doing because 

20 in Livingston and the other areas that are 

21 non-attainment, this could add up to be 

22 significant, very significant. That's all 

23 I've got to say. Thank you very much.

Permit Procedures-Insignificant Activities List 

(LAC 33 :II1.50 l)(AQ222) 

Under the authority of the Environmental Quality Act, 

R.S. 30:2001 et seq., and in accordance with the provisions 

of the Administrative Procedure Act, R.S. 49:950 et seq., the 

secretary gives notice that rulemaking procedures have been 

initiated to amend the Air Quality regulations, LAC 

33 :1II.50 1 (Log #AQ222). 

This rule proposes the addition of activities to the 

"Insignificant Activities List" These activities (LAC 

33 :IILSO l.B.S) are approved by the permitting authority as 

insigniticant on 'the basis of size, emission or production 

rate, or type of pollutant By such. listing, the permitting 

authority exempts certain sources or types of sources from 

the requirement to obtain a permit under LAC 33:1II.Chapter 

5, unless it is determined by the .permitting authority on a 

site-specific basis that any such exemption is not 

appropriate. The regulated community has asked for an 

expansion of the "Insignificant Activities List" under LAC 

JJ:lll.Chapter 5.Permit Procedures. Currently, the list 

includes approximately 45 activities or emission sources that 

produce air pollutants in such small amounts that they are 

exempted from the requirement to obtain a permit under 

Chapter 5. This proposed rule adds ten insignificant 

activities to the list This addition will benefit existing 

permitted sources in reducing the number of temporary 

variances or permit minor modifications they are required to 

obtain from the department. For example, a variance is now 

required to bring in a small portable gasoline tank used to 

fuel mobile equipment for a maintenance project. Under the 

expanded list, this would not require a permit action, 

provided the tank emissions from the temporary tank met the 

insignificant standard specified in the regulation. Also, small 

businesses would be aided by reducing the requirements to 

obtain an air emissions permit or temporary variance, 

particularly when bringing in equipment on a· temporary 

basis for construction or maintenance activities, provided 

such equipment met all the standards defining an 

insignificant emission source. For example, an existing small 

business not otherwise required to have an air emissions 

permit would not have to obtain a permit to add a permanent 

standby electrical generator for use only during power 

outages, provided such use met the standards defining the 

insignificant emission source. The basis and rationale for 

this proposed rule are to further simplify and streamline the 

2293 

permitting process involving very small air emission 

sources. 

This proposed rule meets an exception listed in R.S. 

30:2019(0)(2) and R.S. 49:953(G)(3); therefore, no report 

regarding environmental/health benefits and social/economic 

costs is required. This proposed rule has no mown impact 

on family formation, stability, and autonomy as described in 

R.S. 49:972.

for which a state or federal applicable requirement applies is 

not insignificant, even if the activity meets the criteria

UST Registration Requirements 

(LAC 33:Xl.301 and 303) 

Under the authority of the Environmental Quality Act, 

R.S. 30:200 I et seq., and in accordance with the pro'lisions 

of the Administrative Procedure Act, R.S. 49:950 et seq., the 

secretary gives notice that rulemaking procedures have been 

initiated to amend the Underground Storage Tanks 

regulations, LAC 33:XI.JO l and 303 (Lag IWT009). 

The proposed Rule revises the current regulatioru~ to 

require all owners of new underground storage tanks (UST) 

systems to register such tanks on the Underground Storage 

Tanks Registration Form (UST -REG-0 I) at lelll>t 30 days 

prior to bringing such tanks into u:>e. The certification of 

installation form, UST Registration of Technical 

Requirements (UST-R.EG-02), will no longer be required to 

be submitted at the same rime as the registration form. The 

proposed Rule requir:es that this form be submitted within 60 

days after the introduction of a regulated substance. (Note 

that the form names have changed.) This Rule amends the 

2295 

Underground Storage Tanks Regulations to correct the 

existing problem with registration of new UST systems. The 

current Regulatiollll prohibit the placing of a regulated 

subsmnce into an unregistered UST. The regulations 

currently require that in order to register a new UST, both 

the Registration of Underground Storage Tanks (UST-REG· 

. 0 l) form and the Registration of Technical Requirements for 

USTs (UST-R.EG-02) form be submitted within 30 days of 

bringing the tanks into use. This has caused a problem since 

the Registration of Technical Requirements for USTs form 

cannot be completed until a tank tightness test has been 

performed, wltich requires that the tank be filled with fuel. 

Therefore, the Regulations are being revised to allow 

registration of a UST by completing the UST • R.EG-0 I form 

30 days before bringing a UST into use. This YOuld be 

followed by submission of the UST-R.EG-02 form 60 days 

ilfter fuel has been dropped in the UST 01.nd the tank can be 

certified as tight. The basis and rationale for this proposed 

rule are to allow fuel to be dropped into a UST for the 

purpose of tank tightness testing without violating the UST 

regul01.tions. 

This proposed Rule meets an exception listed in R.S. 

30:20 19(0)(2) and R.S. 49:953(G)(3); therefore, no report 

regarding environmental/health benefits and social/econ.omic 

casts is required. Thi:~ proposed Rule has no known impact

Dear Ms Hilton, 

On April 3, 2003, EPA received a copy of the proposed revisions to the General State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) for the State of Louisiana for the year 2002. This letter transmits 

EPA's comments on those proposed revisions for AQs 222,227, 219A, and 228. The enclosed 

comments also reflect comments from the Air Permits Section. 

AQ 222: 

The revision adds additional activities to the "Insignificant Activities List" based on size, 

emission or production rates, or type of pollutant. We have no comments concerning these 

revisiOns. 

AQ 227: 

These revisions contain a change to the definition of"major source" in LAC 33:III.502 to 

confnnn with EPA's revised definition of"major source" in 40 CFR 70.2, published on 

November 27, 2001 (66 FR 59166). 

The proposed definition is consistent with EPA's definition, and is approvable. When the State 

of Louisiana submits the rule for final approval, it should submit this revision as a revision to its 

Title V program and not the SIP. 

AQ 219A: 

We note that LAC 33:Ul.2104 has not been previously submitted to EPA for inclusion in the SIP. 

Without the underlying rule, we cannot approve these revisions to the rule into the SIP. While 

the rule has never been submitted, it appears to EPA the rule should have been submitted to meet 

the VOC RACT requirement of 182(b)(2)(C) ofthe Clean Air Act that requires RACT to be in 

Racycled/Racyclable • Printed with Vegetable OK Based Inks on 100% Recycled Paper (40% Postconsumer) 
00oos4 

place for all major sources in nonattainment areas. Clearly, the State anticipates that there are 

sources greater than 50 tons/year in the nonattainment areas. 

For sources greater than 250 tons/year, the rules calls for 95% control, which EPA believes can 

be approved as RACT. For sources less than 250 tons/year, the rules call for either 95% control 

or control to a potential to emit of less than 50 tons/year within the nonattainment area. The 

Clean Air Act requires RACT on all sources with a potential to emit 50 tons/year or more before 

control for areas classified as serious. EPA is concerned for sources between 50 and 250 

tons/year potential to emit that sources may employ just enough control to get under 50 tons/year, 

resulting in a level of control less than RACT. 

AQ 228: 

The revisions pertain to LR 28:2339 and deal with lead-based paint activities. We do not 

understand why these revisions are included in the revisions package since they do not pertain to 

the SIP. Please clarify. 

We look forward to the submittal of these rule revisions for official review and approval. If you 

have any questions concerning the comments oh the proposed revisions please contact Maria L. 

Martinez, of my staff, at 214-665-2230. 

Sincerely yours, 

Thomas H. Diggs

Summary of Comments and Response 

2002 State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

The proposed definition is consistent with EPA's definition, and is 

approvable. When the State of Louisiana submits the rule for final 

approval, it should submit this revision to its Title V program and not the 

SIP. 

This revision has been removed per EPA's comment. 

We note that LAC 33:III.2104 has not been previously submitted to EPA 

for inclusion in the SIP. Without the underlying rule, we cannot approve 

these revisions to the rule into the SIP. 

This revision has been removed per EPA's comment. 

The revisions pertain to LR 28:2339 and deal with lead-based paint 

activities. We do not understand why these revisions are included in the 

revisions package since they do not pertain to the SIP. 

This revision was inadvertently sent and has been removed.
