RULE

Departmen t of Environmental Quality

Environmental Planning Division

Pennit Procedures-Insignilicant Activities List

(LAC J3:IIl.501)(AQ222)

Under the authority of the Environmental Quality Act,

R.S. 30:200 I 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.501 (Log #AQ222).

This rule adds activities to the "Insigniflcant Activities

List." These activities (LAC 33:IIl.50 I.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 ex.empts certain sources or

types of sources from the requirement to cbtain a pennit

under LAC 33:11I.Chapter 5, unless it is detemlined 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 33:11I.Chapler 5.Pemlit 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 lnsignificant

activities to the list. This addition will benelit existing

pennitted sources in reducing the number of temporary

variances or permit minor modiflcations they are required to

obtain from the department. For example, a valiance 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 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 will 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

insignilicant emission source. The basis and rationale for

this rule are to further simplify and streamline the permitting

process in vol ving very small air emission sources.

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

and R.S. 49:95J(G)(3); therefore, no report regarding

environmentaVhealth benelits and sociaVeconomic costs is

required. This rule has no known impact on family

formation, stability, and autonomy as described in R.S.

49:972.

5. Insignilicant Activities List. Those activities listed

in the following table are approved by the permitting

authority as insi~:nificant 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 this

Chapter unless it is determined by the permitting authority

on a site·specific basis that any such exemption is not

appropriate. The listing of any activity or emission unit as

insignificant does not authorize the maintenance of a

nuisance or a danger to public health or safety. Any activity

for which a state or federal applicable requirement applies is

not insignificant, even if the activity meets the criteria

below. For the purpose of permitting requirements under

COMMENT 1: - Commentor supports the regulation as a measure that will

AGAINST:

RESPONSE 2:

- The department appreciates the support.

Subsection B.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

Re: Comments'Q..n AQ222

Proposed Revisions to Insignificant Activities List (LAC 33:III.501.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:III.501.B.5 9fthe 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 a nonprofit Louisiana corporation, composed ofseventy-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.501.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. LeA supports the b.asis and rationale ofthe proposed rule which is intended

to furthersimplify 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 I.B.5 will allow the agency to allocate more resources to other necessary permitting

398863}

Ms. Patsy Deaville

requirements.

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

forth in LAC 33:III.501.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 anair

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 cliteria 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 ofinternal 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 ofthe Insignificant Activities List.

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

Subection A.I and A.6 if the design rate criteria ofthe equipment is satisfied.

Ifyou 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.

Re: Insignificant Activities List.

Log #AQ-222

Dear Ms. Deaville:

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 ofthis 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.
oooo~o

/ 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 platfonns in state waters that discharge produced water and/or deck

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

discharge under the LPDES pennit;".

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,

* * * * *

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

1 numbers AQ222, UT009 and WQ042. It would be

2 helpful to us if all oral comments received

3 today were followed-up in writing.

4 This public hearing provides a forum

5 for all interested parties to present

6 comments on the proposed changes. I'll ask

7 that each person commenting come up to the

8 front, sit at this chair, and begin by

9 stating their name and affiliation for the

10 record.

11 The next amendment is designated by the

12 Log Number AQ222.

13 This rule proposes the addition of

14 activities to the ~Insignificant Activities

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

16 are approved by the permitting authority as

17 insignificant on the basis of size, emission

18 or production rate or type of pollutant. By

19 such listing, the permitting authority

20 exempts certain sources or types of sources

21 from the requirement to obtain a permit under

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

23 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
.00091.6

S

1 asked for an expansion of the "Insignificant

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

3 Permit Procedures. Currently the list

4 includes approximately 4S activities or

S 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 S. 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

lS 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

2S equipment on a temporary basis for

Lucy, do you have another copy?

MS. KRAFT:

She does.

MS. CHERYL FLORY:

Thank you. I beg your pardon?

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.

Comments will begin with Mr. Henry

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 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. 49:950et seq., the

secretary gives notice that rulemaking procedures have been

initiated to amend the Air Quality regulations, LAC

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

This rule proposes the addition of activities to the

"Insignificant Activities List" These activities (LAC

33 :IIl.SO I.B.5) 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 0 btain a permit under LAC 3J: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(D)(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.

5. Insignificant Activities List Those. activities listed

in the following table are approved by the permitting

authority as insignificant on the basis of size, emission or

for which a state or federal applicable requirement applies is

not insignificant, even if the activity meets the criteria

below. For the purpose of permitting requirements under

Underground Storage Tanks Regulations to correct the

existing problem with registration of new UST systems. The

current Regulatiorul prohibit the placing of a regulated

subst:lnce into an unregistered UST. The regulations

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

the Registration of Underground Storage Tanks (UST·R.EG·

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

USTs (UST·R.EG·02) farm be submitted within 30 days of

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

the Registration of Tcchnical Requirements for USTs farm

cannot be completed until a t:l.nk tighmess test has been

performed. which requires that the t:l.n.k be filled with fuel.

Therefore, the Regulations are being revised to allow

registration of a UST by completing the UST-REG·O I farm

30 days before bringing a UST into use. This 'IOuld be

followed by submission of the UST-REG·02 foem 60 days

3fter fuel has been dropped in the UST and the tank can be

Ms Sandra Hilton

P.O. Box 82178

Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70884-2178

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 '5 revised definition of "majof 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

ofLouisiana 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 I 82(b)(2)(C) ofthe Clean Air Act that requires RACT to be in

RecycledIRecyclable • Printed with Vegetable OK Based Inks on 100% Recycled Paper (40% Postconsumer)
000054

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 ofthese rule revisions for official review and approval. If you

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

Martinez, ofmy staff, at 214-665-2230.

Sincerely yours,

Summary ofComments and Response

2002 State Implementation Plan (SIP)

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

approvable. When the State ofLouisiana 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.
