Clean Air Act Operating Permit 

Program; Petition for Objection to 

State Operating Permit for Noranda 

Alumina, LLC 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of final action. 

SUMMARY: This document announces 

that the EPA Administrator has 

responded to a citizen petition asking 

EPA to object to an operating permit 

(Permit Number 2453–V2) issued by the 

Louisiana Department of Environmental 

Quality (LDEQ). Specifically, the 

Administrator has denied the March 28, 

2011 petition, submitted by the 

Louisiana Environmental Action 

Network (LEAN), Sierra Club, and 

O’Neil Couvillion (the Petitioners), to 

object to the operating permit issued on 

February 15, 2011 to Noranda Alumina, 

LLC, for the operation of the alumina 

production plant located in Gramercy, 

St James Parish, Louisiana. Sections 

307(b) and 505(b)(2) of the Act provide 

that a petitioner may ask for judicial 

review of those portions of the petition 

which EPA denies in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit. Any petition for review shall be 

filed within 60 days from the date this 

notice appears in the Federal Register, 

pursuant to section 307 of the Act. 

ADDRESSES: You may review copies of 

the final Order, the petition, and other 

supporting information at EPA Region 6, 

1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75202– 

2733. 

EPA requests that if at all possible, 

you contact the individual listed in the

petition, and other supporting 

information. You may view the hard 

copies Monday through Friday, from 

9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., excluding 

Federal holidays. If you wish to 

examine these documents, you should 

make an appointment at least 24 hours

Toups at (214) 665–7258, email address: 

toups.brad@epa.gov or the above EPA, 

Region 6 address. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CAA 

affords EPA a 45-day period to review, 

and object to as appropriate, a Title V 

operating permit proposed by State 

permitting authorities. Section 505(b)(2) 

of the CAA authorizes any person to 

petition the EPA Administrator, within 

60 days after the expiration of this 

review period, to object to a Title V 

operating permit if EPA has not done so. 

Petitions must be based only on 

objections to the permit that were raised 

with reasonable specificity during the 

public comment period provided by the 

State, unless the petitioner demonstrates 

that it was impracticable to raise these 

issues during the comment period or the 

grounds for the issue arose after this 

period. 

EPA received a petition from the 

Petitioners dated March 28, 2011, 

requesting that EPA object to the 

issuance of the Title V operating permit 

to Noranda Alumina LLC (Noranda), for 

the operation of the alumina production 

plant in Gramercy, St. James Parish, 

Louisiana for the following reasons: (1) 

The Title V Permit fails to incorporate 

applicable PSD requirements because: 

LDEQ violated the PSD public 

participation requirements; certain stack 

tests show the NOX emissions exceed 

PSD thresholds, yet the Title V Permit 

fails to include applicable PSD 

requirements for NOX emissions; LDEQ 

failed to support its conclusion that 

emissions from the yield improvement 

project do not trigger PSD review; and 

LDEQ failed to apply Best Available 

Control Technology to NOX emissions 

from the yield improvement project; (2) 

LDEQ failed to include emission limits 

for PM2.5 emissions; and (3) the Title V 

Permit fails to include a case-specific 

Maximum Achievable Control 

Technology Standard for Noranda’s 

Industrial Boilers. 

On December 14, 2012, the 

Administrator issued an Order denying 

the petition. The Order explains the 

reasons behind EPA’s conclusion to 

deny the petition. 

Dated: January 17, 2013.
