Union Carbide Bubble Revision 

Final SIP Revision July 2007 
I. Purpose 

The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) is 

submitting this revision to the Louisiana State Implementation Plan (SIP) to 

remove the "Bubble Permit 1836T (M-1) as a result of LDEQ's recent rescission of 

that permit effective March 12, 2007. On July 18, 1990, the Environmental 

Protection Agency approved the Alternative Emission Reduction Plan ("Bubble") 

for the Union Carbide Corporation, Taft Plant as a revision to the Louisiana SIP 

(55 FR 29203). The LDEQ issued permit #1836T (M-1), on April23, 1987 and 

revised the permit on May 5, 1990. The permit was incorporated by reference 

into the SIP at 40 CFR 52.970 (c)(55)(i)(a). 

On March 12, 2007, the LDEQ rescinded the "Bubble" Permit 1836T (M-1) 

in response to Union Carbide Corporation's request and notification that Tank 

2635 is no longer in service. (See Appendix A) Because this action nullifies the 

action of the May 1990 SIP revision, LDEQ requests that the SIP be updated and 

revised to reflect the rescission of the permit. 

II. Background 

EPA issued the Emissions Trading Policy Statement and General Policies 

for Creation, Banking and Use of Emission Reduction Credits on December 4, 

1986. (51 FR 43814) This policy statement allowed for the use of Bubble credits, 

Union Carbide Bubble Revision 

Final SIP Revision July 2007 
which were used as a control measure in the effort to reduce emissions and fulfill 

the requirements of individual SIP. 

On October 19, 1983, the Governor of Louisiana submitted a request to 

revise the Louisiana SIP to include an Alternative Emission Reduction Plan for 

the Union Carbide Corporation Taft Plant (Bubble Permit), which is located in 

Hahnville, Louisiana, St. Charles Parish. At the time of the request, the area was 

designated as nonattainment for ozone. 

The LDEQ issued Bubble Permit# 1836T (M-1) on April23, 1987. The 

"Bubble" Permit consisted of Union Carbide using emission reductions from the 

shutdown of a Glyoxal Reactor Column vent and changes in materials stored in 

tanks in lieu of controlling emissions from two fixed roof volatile organic 

compound (VOC) storage tanks. 

On July 18, 1990, EPA approved the Union Carbide Corporation Taft 

Plant Alternative Emission Reduction Plan request or "Bubble" as a revision to 

the Louisiana State Implementation Plan (SIP). (55 FR 29203) The permit was 

revised on May 5, 1990 and incorporated by reference into the SIP at 40 CFR 

52.970( c)(55)(i)(a). 

On March 12, 2007, LDEQ rescinded the permit in response to Union 

Carbide Corporation's request for rescission of said permit as Tank 2635 is no 

longer in service.

51.285 Public Notification, the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality 

published a notice seeking comment on this SIP revision on May 20, 2007 in the

Union Carbide Corporation (UCC) is submitting this request to rescind the Bubble Permit 1836T (M1). Effective December 19, 2006, the AP2 Plant ceased operations. The plant closing has eliminated 

the need for the bubble permit to cover the emissions associated with Tank 2635, EIQ 605. The 

Bubble permit was issued to allow the tank to operate without controls per LAC 33 :III.21 03. The 

Bubble Permit No. 1836T was originally issued March 31, 1983, revised April 23, 1987 as Bubble 

Permit No. 1836T(M-l) and again revised on May 5, 1990, 1836T(M-l). The permit included seven 

(7) tanks. All tanks except Tank 2635, EIQ 605 have subsequently been permitted in the Site 

Logistics Title Permit No. 2656-VO. Therefore, UCC requests rescinding of the Bubble Permit as 

Tank 2635 is no longer in service. The Bubble Permit was also adopted as part of the State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) in the Federal Register dated Wednesday, July 18, 1990 page 29203. UCC 

requests the SIP to be revised at the next revision date. 

This letter also serves to inform DEQ that the annual emissions report required by the Bubble Permit 

will no longer be submitted. The last submittal was dated February 21, 2007. There no longer is any 

need for this report as the tank is no longer in service. 

If you have any questions, please contact Eric Killian at (985) 783-4241. Please send all written 

correspondence directly to me.

Removal of UCC Bubble Permit from SIP 

Air Permits just received a request to rescind the Bubble Permit for Union Carbide, St. Charles Operations, Taft, Permit 

No. 1836T (M-1 ), AI 2083, PER19870001. Lourdes Dugas is assigned this task. In the request dated 2/23/07, UCC also 

requested the Bubble Permit be removed from the SIP (listed under Union Carbide Facility in Hahnville, EPA approved 

7/18/90, 55 FR 29205)). 

The request stated the permit was originally issued 3/31/83 to exempt Tank 2635, which is in the AP2 Unit, from controls 

required by LAC 33:111.2103 The AP2 Unit was shut down 12/19/06. The grandfathered unit didn't receive an initial Title V 

permit in 2006, as scheduled, because UCC had plans early 2006 to shut down the unit permanently by end of 2006. In 

November 2006 we issued a variance to UCC for loading emissions associated with clean out of AP2 (PER20060021 ). 

On 1/5/07, we issued rescission letter for only other active permit associated with AP2 unit, 2652 (M-1 ), and acknowledged 

closure of AP2 (PER2001 001 0). Permit 2652(M-1) was a Small Source Permit issued 4/18/01 for 3 replacement tanks at 

the unit. 

If you need any further information to delete the bubble permit from the SIP, please adv_ise. Thanks.

3. The permitting authority may approve an owner or 

operator's application for authorization to operate under the 

general permit without repeating the public participation 

procedures. Such an approval shall not be a final permit 

action for purposes of judicial review regarding the terms 

and conditions ofthe general pennit. 

4. Any source which is issued the general permit shall, 

notwithstanding a permit shield, be subject to enforcement 

action for operation without a permit if the source is later

sources under the Acid Rain Program established pursuant to 

Title IV of the Clean Air Act. 

The proposed "General Permit Facility Specific 

Requirements" section contains the universe of regulations 

that may apply to the facility and associated equipment. If 

any regulation applies to any facility or associated emission 

source, and is not part of the attached specific conditions,

exception to this is when there is a specific condition that 

meets all of the requirements of being a state only 

requirement. This excludes federally enforceable specific 

conditions or limitations. The General Permit Statement of 

Basis provides additional information regarding how a 

facility specific General Permit contains only those 

regulations that apply to the specific facility and its 

associated emission sources.

permit was submitted to the facility representative and the 

LDEQ Surveillance Division. Any remarks received during

52.970 (c)(55)(i)(a). 

On March 12, 2007, the LDEQ rescinded the Bubble 

Permit 1836T (M-1) in response to Union Carbide 

Corporation's request and notification that Tank 2635 is no 

longer in service. 

A public hearing for the proposed SIP revision will be
