Note. The Notice ofIntent for AQ 219A published on March 20, 2002, incorrectly stated that the rulemaking was applicable to Calcasieu Parish only. Revisions to LAC 33.111.2103 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 ofIntent for AQ 219A was corrected and republished with a new public hearing date and comment period. The text ofthe amended regulation did not change.

Office ofEnvironmental Assessment

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 ofthe 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.50I.B.5) are approved by the permitting authority as insignificant on the basis ofsize, 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 involving very small airemission 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. Tille 33

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 ofthis vessel are similarto that ofthe 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 similarto 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 similarto 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) OurFile No. 3645-72 DearMs. Deaville: On behalfofthe 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 ofEnvironmental Quality ("LDEQ"). TheLCAis anonprofitLouisianacorporation, composedofseventy-five(75)member business organizations which conduct manufacturing operations at overone hundred (100) plant sites in Louisiana. A large number ofLCA 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 proposedrule which is intended to furthersimplifyandstreamlinethepermittingprocess concerningsmallairemissions. The proposed rule will further benefit the regulated community and the LDEQ by reducing the numberoftemporary variance requests and/orpermitmodifications for activities thatresult in insignificant 

# andde minimis emissions. Authorization ofcertain activities under LAC 33:III.50I.B.5 will allow the agencyto allocate more resources to othernecessarypermitting

requirements.
All ofthe activities proposed by the LDEQ must meet the thresholdrequirements set forth in LAC 33:III.501.B.5. The activities submittedunder Subsection A mustbe listed as an insignificant activity orthe information mustbeprovided as specifiedinLAC 33 :111.517. LCA supports the proposition that an insignificant activity included at a facility after anair permitis issuedbeincludedinthepermitapplication atrenewal. Inthis situation, the facility would send aletterto the LDEQ notifying the agency that the insignificantactivity has been added and that it meets the cliteria set forth in Subsection A. The letter would then be attached to the existing airpermit 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 InsignificantActivities List. Forexample, portabledieselengines 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 shouldbecoveredunderSubsectionB.32 oftheInsignificantActivitiesList. Engines used to heat nitrogen during clearing operations should also be covered under Subection A.I and A.6 ifthe design rate criteria ofthe equipment is satisfied.

## Re: Insignificant Activities List. Log #AQ-222 DearMs. 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 powerin 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 ofthe amendments clarify existing language or add temporary minor activities for which facilities have sought variances from the Department. The adoption ofthe amendments will be beneficial to both the Department and the regulated community by simplifying permitting and reducing the number ofvariance 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 ofLouisiana (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 ofpipes 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 ofthis vessel are similar to that ofthe 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 workwith the regulated community to amend the Insignificant Activities List and the opportunity to submit these comments. Very truly yours,

# 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

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

### NOTICE OF INTENT Department ofEnvironmental QuaJity

Office ofEnvironmental Assessment

Environmental Planning Division 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 ofthe 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.50I (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 ofsources 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. Title 33 ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY Part Ill. Air Chapter S. Permit Procedures §SOI. 

### Scope and Applicability 

# ... (S<:e PriorText in A. • B.4.b] 

### 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 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 LAC 33:11I.507, no exemption listed in the following table shall become effective until approved by the administrator itt accordance with 40 CFR part 70.

### farm and the Registration ofTechnical 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 ofTcchnical 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 ofa UST by completing the UST

## Ms SandraHilton Office ofEnvironmental Assessment Environmental Planning Division LouisianaDepartment ofEnvironmental Quality P.O. Box 82178 Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70884-2178

DearMs Hilton,

On April 3, 2003, EPA received a copy ofthe proposed revisions to the General State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the State ofLouisiana for the year 2002. This lettertransmits 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 orproduction rates, or type ofpollutant. 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"majofsource" 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 arevision 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 neverbeen 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 apotential to emit ofless than 50 tons/year within the nonattainment area. The Clean Air Actrequires RACT on all sources with a potential to emit 50 tons/year ormore before control for areas classified as serious. EPA is concerned for sources between 50 and 250 tons/yearpotential to emitthat sources may employjust enough control to get under 50 tons/year, resulting in a level ofcontrol 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. Ifyou have any questions concerning the comments on the proposed revisions please contactMaria L. 

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

Sincerely yours,
