Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70884 - - . 

RE: Xotice of Intent, Log 5) AQ164 

Dear Ms. Deaville: 

The Louisiana Environmental Action Ys~rk ("LEAK") is a non-profit organization whose 

primary goal is to prorecr public heaIth and the environment. LEAY members live, work, and 

recreate throughout the state of Louisiana. We are aware that the Department of Environmental 

Quality ("DEQ") is intending to amend the Air Quality Division Regulations ("Regulations"), 

Log fr-AQl 64: and belicve the DEQ should not amend the Regulations to reduce the availability 

of information to the public. 

The Clean Air Act ("CAA"), at 40 C.F.R. $5 1.102(d)(2), rzquires the "[a]vailability of each 

proposed plan or revision for pubIic inspection in at least onc Iocation in each region to which it 

will appIy, and the availability of each compliance schedule for public inspection in d least one 

: location in the region in which the aected source is located." ?vloreovcr, under 40 C.F.R 8 

166(a)(5), any state action on a PSD source or modification "shall be subject to the opportunity 

for public hearing in accordmce with procedures equivalent to those established in $51.102." 

Because the CAA requires copies of the proposed plan or revision, prc-construction or 

modification be available for inspection in afFected region the DEQ cannot Iimit the prcconstruction or modification information to the headquarters of the Department of Environmental 

Quality, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. 

DEQ also at~empts to limit the availabilit~, of the comments beyond the intent specified in the 

Notice oTIntent. The Norice indicates "statement that copies will be available at the regional 

departmental offices." IIowever, the proposed amendments to LAC 33:III.Q.5 and LAC 

33:III.Q.6 indicate the DEQ will only make available such copies of the comments and of the 

final mle at the DEQ headquarters in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. DEQ's lan~uage can comply with 

the proposed amendments only if the only regional departmend ofices are locatcd at the DEQ 

headquarters, ~i hich is cleariy not true. 
FAX NO. 504 862 8721 

Finally, LEAK suggests that limiting the placement of the comments and of the final 

determination to the DEQ headquarters will severely restrict the goal of making the information 

available to the public for inspection. It is unreasonable for the DEQ to force citizens to travel, 

in some cases, hundreds of miles 10 DEQ headquaners simply to find out about public comments 

and notification. We do not believe that making documents accessible to the public is 

"rcdundan~." Rather, it is critical to rhe public's right to know and to be fuIly informed of the 

DEQ and its decision-making process. 

For the reasons set forth above, LEA? requests that the DEQ not amend the Regulations to 

rcducc thc availability of public documents in the DEQ's regional offices. 

Please notify me as soon as the DEQ makes a decision on the proposed n11e and provide me 

with a copy of the DEQ's rcsponse to comments, as required by La. R.S. 19:953(d)(2).

Re: Log #AQ 164 

Comments 

Dear Ms. Deaville: 

The Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association appreciates the opportunity to 

submit comments on the proposed amendments to the Air Quality Division permitting 

rules (Log #AQ 164) cited in the December 20, 1997 Louisiana Register. Mid-Continent 

is an industry organization which represents individuals and companies that produce, 

transport, refine and market approximately 90% of the oil and natural gas in Louisiana. 

Mid-Continent supports the Department's proposed amendments and recommends that 

the Department adopt the changes as proposed. 

Once again, Mid-Continent appreciates the opportunity to submit these comments.

Responses to Comments and Concise Statement Submitted for 

the Proposed Revisions To PSD and Public Inspection 

LAC 33:IIL509 

Log # AQ164 

COMMENT 1: General. The commentor supports the proposal. 

RESPONSE 1: LDEQ accepts the support in favor of this change. 

FOR 1: LDEQ accepts the support in favor of this change. 

AGAINST 1: LDEQ concurs with the commentor. 

COMMENT 2: General. The regulations should not be amended to reduce the 

availability of information to the public. Consequently, limiting the 

placement of the comments and the final determination to the headquarters 

of the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) restricts the goal of 

making the information available to the public. 

RESPONSE 2: All permit information, past, present and future will continue to be located 

at both, the main office located in Baton Rouge and the Regional O5ce 

providing enforcement and inspection for the parish in which the permit or 

permit modification is being sought. Public participation is not diminished. 

40 CFR 5 1.1 02(dX2) addresses the issue of public hearings for State 

Implementation Plans (SIPs), not a state's permitting program. LAC 

33:III.509.Q provides extensive public recourse. 

FOR 2: No change in the language keeps the ambiguity of the current regulation. 

AGAINST 2: The proposed rule defines that the official records for permits in a specific 

parish will be housed in the regional office in which enforcement and 

inspection activities are originated for that parish. Public participation is 

not diminished. 40 CFR 5 1.102(d)(2) addresses the issue 

of public hearings for State Implementation Plans (SIPs), not a state's 

permitting program. LAC 33:III.509.Q provides extensive public recourse. 

COMMENT 3: General. The Clean Air Act requires copies of the proposed plan or 

revision, preconstmction or modification information be made available for 

inspection in each affected region. Therefore, the department cannot limit 

the information to the headquarters of the DEQ. Additionally, the 

department is proposing to limit the availability of the comments beyond 

the intent specified in the Notice of Intent. 
RESPONSE 3: 

- 

FOR 3: 

- AGAINST 3 : 

See Response 2. 

The commentor references cites in the Clean Air Ad regarding 

State Implementation Plan requirements. The correct legal cite 

would have to be given in order to respond adequately. 

All permit information, past, present and fiture will continue to be located 

at both, the main office located in Baton Rouge and the Regional Office 

providing enforcement and inspection for the parish in which the permit or 

permit modification is being sought. Public participation is not diminished. 

40 CFR 5 1.102(d)(2) addresses the issue of public hearings for State 

Implementation Plans (SIPS), not a state's permitting program. LAC

Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) 

and Public Inspection (LAC 33:111.509)(AQ164) 

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 Division regulations, 

LAC 33:111.509 (AQI64). 

The proposed rule will correct language which mandates 

that the administrative authority make available 

preconsmction or modification information available at 

site-specific locations. Public participation is maintained 

through newspaper notification, the provision for citizens to 

request public hearings fiom the department secretary, and 

availability, upon request, to view these documents at the 

nearest departmental regional office. The Office of Air 

Quality and Radiation Protection receives approximately 10 to 

15 pennit applications and permit modifications annually. 

The requirement to provide copies at the same locations where 

the administrative authority made available original 

documents is redundant. The basis and rationale for this rule 

are to correct existing, redundant language that requires the 

administrative authority to provide copies at the same 

locations where original documents are made available. 

This proposed rule meets the exceptions listed in RS. 

30:2019(D)(3) and R.S. 49:953(6)(3); therefore, no report 

regarding environmentaVhealth benefits and sociaVeconomic 

costs is required.

Re: 

Comments 

" Dear Ms. Deaville: 

The Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association appreciates the opportunity to 

submit comments on the proposed amendments to the Air Quality Division rules to 

incorporate the latest EPA New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) by reference (Log 

#AQ-171) cited in the May 20, 1998 Louisiana Register. Mid-Continent is an industry 

organbtion which represents individuals and companies that produce, transport, refine 

and market approximately 90% of the oil and natural gas in Louisiana. 

Mid-Continent supports the Department's policy to adopt these federal standards by 

reference. Mid-Continent also supports the proposed amendments to clarifjl the 

provisions in Chapters 5, 15,21,23, and 25 to reflect the appropriate Chapter 30 citation. 

Once again, Mid-Continent appreciates the opportunity to submit these comments.

Under the authority of the Environmental Quality A

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

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

secretary gives notice that rulemaking procedures have be

initiated to amend the Air Quality Division Regulatio

LAC 33:III.Chapters 5, 15,21,23,25, and 30 (AQ17I0). 

This proposed rule is identical to a federal regulati

found in 40 CFR Part 60, July I, 1997, which is applicable 

Louisiana. For more information regarding the fede

requirement, contact the Investigations and Regulati

Development Division at the address or phone number giv

below. No fiscal or economic impact will result from t

proposed rule; therefore, the rule will be promulgated 

accordance with R.S. 49:953(F)(3) and (4). 

This proposed rule updates the reference to the Co

of Federal Regulations (CFR) contained 

LAC 33:III.Chapter 30 to those regulations published 

40 CFR part 60 in July 1997. This revision clarifies that 

40 CFR part 60 references that appear in LAC 33:III.Chapte

5, 15, 2 1, 23, 25, and 30 are as incorporated by reference 

LAC 33:III.Chapter 30. Areas of state and federal author

are more clearly defined with this proposed rule. The ba

and rationale for this proposed rule are to update the CF

reference and clarify the department's authority related 

40 CFR part 60 and proper reporting procedures. 

This proposed rule meets the exceptions listed 

R.S. 30:2019(D)(3) and R.S. 49:953(G)(3); therefore, 

report regarding environmentaVhealth benefits a

RULE 

Department of Environmental Quality

Air Quality Division 

Emission Reduction Credits Banking 

(LAC 33:111.603)(AQ176) 

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. 49:950 et seq., the 

secretary has amended the Air Quality Division regulations, 

LAC 33:III.603 (AQ176). 

This revision allows emissions banking for all parishes in 

the state. The change in the Ozone National Ambient Air 

Quality Standard (NAAQS) makes predicting which parishes 

may participate in the previous rule a difficult task. While the 

requirements are mandatory for ozone nonattainment areas, 

the revision lifts the restriction so that other parishes may 

participate in a voluntary manner. The basis and rationale for 

this mle are to promote emissions banking in all parts of the 

state. 

This mle meets the exceptions listed in R.S. 30:2019(D)(3) 

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

environmentalhealth benefits and sociaVeconomic costs is 

required.

COMMENT 

RESPONSE 

1 : The proposed revision to allow emissions banking for all areas of the state 

is supported as a prudent step in light of the change in the Ozone National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard. 

1: LDEQ acknowledges the comment. No changes are necessary. 

2: 8 613.D & 61 5.A Now that emissions banking will be allowed 

statewide, clarifL if there is a mandatory time frame for sources in 

attainment areas to submit their emission reduction credit (ERC) 

applications. 

2: 5 613.D & 615.A indicate a date by which applications are due and the 

date by which updates are due. LDEQ will publish a Potpoum advising 

facilities of this interpretation. 

3: s615.C It is recommended that the Louisiana Department of 

Environmental Quality list by name the nonattainment areas subject to the 

confiscation provisions of this subsection. This action would clarify that a 

facility in a current parish that is in attainment for the existing ozone 

standard but in nonattainment for the new standard would not 

automatically lose any credit due to the imposition of the new standard. 

3: LDEQ intends to re-examine this language once the EPA has decided 

upon the names for the new classification system. Designations for the 

new ozone NAAQS will take place in the year 2000 or 2001.

Good afternoon. My name is Steve

Louisiana Department of Environmental 

Quality. Ifll be serving as hearing 

officer this afternoon to receive 

comments regarding proposed amendments 

to the Air Quality Division and 

Radiation Protection Division 

regulations. 

The comment period for these 

amendments began on August 20, 1998, 

when the notice of intent was published 

in the Louisiana Register. The comment 

period will close at 4:30 p.m., today, 

September 24, 1998, for the Air ~uality

1998, for the Radiation protection 

Division amendment Log number NE020. 

It would be helpful to us if all oral 

.- - comments received today were, followed 

up in writing. 

This public hearing provides a 

forum for all interested parties to 

present comments on the proposed 

changes. 1/11 ask that each commentor 

begin by stating their nhme and 

affiliation for the record. 

The next amendment is designated 

by the Log Number AQ176. 

This revision allows emissions 

banking for all parishes in the state. 

The change in the Ozone National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard or NAAQS 

makes predicting which parishes may 

participate in the current rule a 

difficult task. While the requirements 

are mandatory for ozone nonattainment 

areas, the proposed revision lifts the

Re: Proposed Chapter 6 Emission 

Banking Regulations 

Dear Ms. Deaville: 8 

The Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association appreciates the opportunity to 

submit comments on the proposed amendments to the Chapter 6 Emission Banking 

Regulations (Log #AQ-176) cited in the August 20, 1998 Louisiana Register. MidContinent is an industry organization which represents individuals and companies that 

produce, transport, refine and market approximately 90% of the oil and natural gas in 

Louisiana. 

Mid-Continent supports opening the Chapter 6 Emission Banking Regulations to all areas 

of the state. This is a prudent step in lieu of the new ozone ambient air quality standard. 

Mid-Continent would like the Department to clarify the following issues that arise in the 

rule as a result of this change. 

1) In Subsection 613.D, an application for banking Emission Reduction 

Credits (ERCs) is due six months after promulgation of the rule. This 

applied to those sources in the nonattainment areas at that time. Now that 

the rule is being opened statewide, is there a mandatory timeframe for 

sources in attainment areas to submit their ERC applications? A similar 

concern exists with the language in Subsection 61 5.A. 

2) In Subsection 61 5.C., Mid-Continent recommends that the Department list 

by name the "nonattainment areas" subject to this subsection. This will 

help clarify that a facility in a current parish that is in attainment for the 

existing ozone standard but nonattainment for the new standard, does not 

automatically lose any credit due to the imposition of the new standard. 
Ms. Patsy Deaville - Comments/AQ- 176

Once again, Mid-Continent supports the proposed amendment and appreciates the 

opportunity to submit these comments.

secretary gives notice that rulemaking procedures have been 

initiated to amend the Air Quality Division regulations, 

LAC 33:111.603 (AQ176). 

This revision allows emissions banking for all parishes in 

the state. The change in the Ozone National Ambient Air 

Quality Standard (NAAQS) makes predicting which parishes

requirements are mandatory for ozone nonattainment areas, 

the proposed revision lifts the restriction so hat other parishes 

may participate in a voluntary manner. The basis and rationale 

for this rule are to promote emissions banking in all parts of 

the state. 

This proposed rule meets the exceptions listed in 

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

report regarding environmentaVhealth benefits and

In addition, we noted that, in section 2123.C. (Afficted Facility #I I), the daily weighted 

average ofVOC emission limitation is left blank. We interpret this to mean that an emission 

limitation has not been established yet, and as a future limitation is developed, the State wiIi 

update the table accordingly. We respectfully request that, in its response to comments, the State 

provide an explanation for the missing emissions limitation for Affected Facility #11. 

LastIy, based on our review of tbc State's Responses to Comments, it appears thar part of

Dear Mr. Diggs: 

- This letter is in response to your written comments dated Auyst 2, 1999, on Louisiana's 

proposed " 1998 State Implementation Plan (SIP) Revisions." The following resolutions were 

agreed to during telephone discussions behveen U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) - Region 6 personnel. Ms. Jeanne Schulze and Mr. Guy Donaldson and Louisiana Department of 

Environmental Quality (LDEQ) personnel, Mr. Bennett FMier and Ms. Pat Salvaggio Mgl. 

- Rcrponx to first comment: LDEQ will revise the language at LAC 33:III.2107 to include ten 

method requirements. The rule will be ddaed in the find SIP submittal and resubmitted after the 

rule revision is promulgated; or, EPA may act on the rule as proposed with conditional approval. 

- If the latm action is taken, the State will revise the rule within a year of receiving such conditional 

approval. 

- Response to second comment: The rule as submitted will not be revised at LAC 33:III.2151 since 

EPA guidance does not require the state to approve submitted plans. 

- Response to third comment: There is no missing emissions limitation at LAC 33:III.2123.C. 

There was a typographical mor in the table format which does not affect the limitation described 

in the table. Should a revision be required in the fbture for other reasons, the table format will be 

- corrected.
