1 Technical Support Document

EPA-R06-OAR-2012-0434 The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has the authority to establish the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS ) under the Clean Air Act (CAA) for each airborne pollutant. Once the NAAQS are set, individual states have the responsibility to achieve, maintain, and enforce the NAAQS in each of the Air Quality Control Regions within their state. Each state must prepare and subm it a state implementation plan (SIP) outlining the path to satisfy the NAAQS for each identified pollutant. SIP requirements and procedures can differ depending on the nonattainment classificati on of the nonattainment area. Revisions are made to the SIP from time to time to guide th e nonattainment area in reaching attainment of the NAAQS, and then maintaining the NAAQS.

When EPA approves rules and rule revisions into the SIP, the rules become federally
enforceable.

The EPA approved the original Louisiana SI P on March 31, 1972 (37 FR 10869). Since then, revisions were periodically made to the Louisian a SIP. SIP revisions consist of rules adopted by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) and subsequently adopted into the SIP. Revisions to general rules are usually submitted on an annual basis by the LDEQ. The revisions and adoption of the Air Quality rules and regulations are made in accordance with Louisiana R.S. 30:2019 and are published in the Louisiana Administrative Code (LAC). The
latest revisions to Louisiana general rules was approved by EPA on July 5, 2011 (76 FR 38977) which covered th e years of 1996-2006.

The intended outcome of this action is to update the Louisiana SIP to correspond to State regulations, conform to federally approved re gulations, statutes, and EPA guidance. This Technical Support Document (TSD) is comprised of two Parts A and B.2 Part A :
This purpose of this Part of the TSD is to ev aluate the “Louisiana State Implementation Plan Revision, 2008-2010 Miscellaneous Rules SIP Revisi on” sent to EPA with a letter dated August 29, 2013, and received by the Air Planning S ection (6PD-L) on December 16, 2013.

Evaluation : In 2006, the Environmental Protection Agency revised the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter. The revi sed NAAQS address two categories of particle pollution: fine particles (PM 2.5 ), which are 2.5 micrometers in diameter and smaller;
and inhalable coar se particles (PM 10 ), which are smaller than 10 micrometers. This Rule updates the Louisiana air quality regulations to includ e the revised federal particle standards.
The EPA strengthened the 24-hour PM 2.5 standard from the 1997 standa rd of 65 micrograms per cubic meter to 35 micrograms per cubic meter, and retained the current annual PM 2.5 standard of 15 micrograms per cubic meter. For inhalable coarse particles, EPA retained the existing
national 24-hour PM 10 standard of 150 micrograms per cubic meter and revoked the annual

PM 10 standard. The basis and rationale for this Rule are to up date the Louisiana air quality regulations to include the revised NAAQS for particulate ma tter to ensure continued protection of the
environment and human health. The revision is consistent with the NAAQS for PM 2.5 and PM 10 standards of 40 CFR 50, also see 71 FR 61144 (Oct 17, 2006), and http://www.epa.gov/air/criteria.html (URL dated 26 March, 2015). We recommend its proposed approval into the SIP.7 What sections of the submittals we are no t acting upon in this rulemaking action?
In this TSD the Air Planning S ection (6PD-L) is not acting upon the following sections packaged with the August 29, 2013 State submittal letter:

Evaluation : Currently, Subchapter F-Abrasive Blas ting is not in the EPA-approved SIP. Thi s rule revision specifies the following standards of performance for abrasive blasting operations: prohibited materials and methods that cannot be used in abrasive blasting activities; requirement to control emissions through either en closure or establishment of Best Management Practices; maintenance of control equipment; and recordkeeping requirements. The intent of this revision is to establish clear performance standards that apply equally to all businesses that engage in abrasive blasting activities. The basis and rational for this rule revision are to improve air quality by reducing par ticulate matter emissions. The AQ249 ( 30 LAC 33:III §§ 1323, 1325, 1327, 1329, 1331, and 1333) combined with AQ303 ( §§ 1327, 1329) will provide for PM emission control from abrasive blasting activities, faci litate compliance determination,
and enhance the SIP. We recommend th eir proposed approva l into the SIP.19 AQ 271 AQ271 concerns revisions to Chapter 15: Sections 1502, 1503, 1507, 1511, and 1513. See Louisiana Register Vol. 33, No. 06, June 20, 2007, pages 1010-1013.

The emissions of sulfur dioxide and acid mist from new sulfuric acid producti on units that commence construction or modification after August 17, 1971, shall be lim ited to that specifie d in 40 CFR 60.82 and 60.83, as incorporated by reference in LA C 33:III.Chapter 30, i.e., 4.0 pounds of SO 2 /ton of 100 percent H 2 SO 4 (2 kilograms/metric ton) and 0.15 pounds of sulfuric acid mist/ton of 100 percent H 2 SO 4 (.075 kilograms/metric ton), respectively (three-hour averages). Emissions from existing units shall be limited as follows: 1. SO 2 —not more than 2000 ppm by vo lume (three-hour average); 2. sulfuric acid mist—not more than 0.5 pounds/ton of 100 percent H 2 SO 4 (0.25 kilograms/metric ton) (three-hour average). B. ... C. All Other Sources—New and Ex isting Not Elsewhere Di scussed. No person shall discharge gases from the subject source s which that contain concentrations of SO 2 which exceed in excess of 2,000 parts per millio n (ppm) by volume at standard conditions (three-hour average), or any applicable Federal NSPS or NESHAP emission limitation, whichever is more stringent. Units emitting Single point sources that emit or have the potential to emit less than 250 tons per year of sulfur compounds measured as sulfur dioxide may be exempted from the 2,000 ppm(v) limitation by the administrative authority. D. Measurement of Concentrations Compliance 1. Analytical Methods. The methods listed in Table 4 or any such equivalent method as may be approved by the administrative authority* shall be utilized used to determine sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid mist concentrations in stack gases compliance with the appropriate emission lim itations set forth in Subsections A-C of this Section. These methods are to shall be used for the following:20 a. initial compliance determinations; and b. for any additional compliance determinations as requested by the administrative authority. for those f acilities not subject to continuous emission monitoring. 2. Calibration of Equipment Required. Measurement equipment shall be periodically calibrated to comply with mini mal American Bureau of Standards Ccriteria. 3. The data collected from a sulfur dioxide continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) may be used to determine initial compliance with the sulfur dioxide emission limitations of this Section. 4. As used in this Section a three-hour average means the average emissions for any three consecutive one- hour periods (each commencing on the hour), provided that the number of three- hour periods dur ing which the SO 2 limitation is exceeded is not greater than the number of one-hour periods during which the SO 2 limitation is exceeded.

substantive. Section 1509 was not amended in this particular revision.
Previously, in order to expedite rulemaking on othe r chapters of Louisiana SIP, through a request
letter dated January 25, 2011, LD EQ withdrew various general revisions to Chapter 15 (OS65,
adopted by State on 10/20/05; AQ180 adopted by State on 12/20/98; and AQ248 adopted by
State on 05/20/05) from EPA’s review. On Oc tober 2, 2015 LDEQ withdrew its revisions
(AQ271) to Chapter 15 from our review. Chapte r 15 is subject to EPA’s National SSM SIP Call27 of June 12, 2015 (80 FR 33840). Revisions and ev aluation of Chapter 15 are expected to be

handled within the context of National SSM SIP Call. See

The AQ271 in Section 1507 Excepti ons incorporates affirmative defense provisions for excess
emission resulting from startup. Furthermore, Chapter 15 in Section 1503 Exceptions will
provide for administrative authority to exempt st artup-related excess emissions, if the owner or
operator submits a written report certifying 5 affirmative defense criteria within 7 days of an
occurrence. See 1507(A)(1 )(b)(i) though (v).
The AQ271 in Section 1507 Excepti ons incorporates affirmative defense provisions for excess
emission resulting from “on-line operating adjustments” (upsets).
Similarly, Chapter 15 in Section 1507 will provide for administrative authority to exempt “online operating adjustments”-related excess emissi ons, if the owner or operator submits a written
report certifying 5 affirmative defense criteria within 7 days of an occurrence. See
1507(B)(1)(b)(i) though (v).
Section 1507 Exceptions cross references Section 1503 Emission Limitations and Compliance.
For these reasons we recommended LDEQ to wit hdraw AQ271 from EPA’s review at this time,
and allow the issues associated with Chapter 15 to be addressed within the context of the

National SSM SIP Call.2829 AQ 272 AQ272 concerns revisions to Chapter 21: Section 2103. Chapter 21. Control of Emission of Organic Compounds Subchapter A. General §2103. Storage of Volatile Organic Compounds

H. -J. ...
Evaluation : In its Louisiana Register issue of March 20, 2007 State wrote: “This Rule exempts
drums storing pyrophoric catalyst at the Vistalon Production Facility of ExxonMobil
Chemical Company Baton Rouge Chemical Plant from the submerged fill pipe provisions of
LAC 33:1II.2103.A. Existing drums are currently operating under Permit No. 2376-VO,
issued April 4, 2006, and are identified as follows : EQT583, T-3304A - Catalyst Drum
(VCD-107A), 9400 gallons; EQT 584, T-3304B - Catalyst Drum (VCD-l07B), 9400
gallons; EQT585, T-3304C - Catalyst Drum ( VCD-107C ), 4700 gallons; EQT586, T-3304D
- Catalyst Drum ( VCD- 107D), 4700 gallons. The drums in question are used to store an alkyl
catalyst that is very pyrophoric in na ture; the material can spontaneously ignite if
exposed to eve n trace levels of oxygen and moisture. It has been decided that these tanks do
not qualify as pressure vessels because of the frequency at which th ey vent to the atmosphere
(every 1 to 1.5 days). As such, they would normally be subject to the submerged fill pipe
provisions of LAC 33:111.2103.A, whic h seeks to prevent vapor or gas loss to the atmosphere30 during filling operations. Any overpressure in a close d storage system fed through a
submerged fill pipe could lead to materials backing up into and possibl y overfilling
delivery equipment or other upstream facilities, causing a dangerous condition in the case of

this kind of catalyst. Therefore, the manufacturer of the catalyst has recommended that the
material be transferred using a free-fall method. No increase in actual emissions above current
levels will be authorized by this Rule. The basi s an d rationale for this Rule are to provide
drums storing pyrophoric catalyst with an exemption from regulations wit h which strict
conformity would create an unreasonable risk to public health, welfare, and safety.” For health,
and safety reasons, to avoid poten tial fire hazard, and the fact th at there will be no increase in
actual emissions we recommend proposed a pproval of this revision into SIP.

MM002 MM002, among other things, concerns rule revisions to Sections 501, 504, 505, 506, and 507 that belong to the Air Permit Section, and w ill not be addressed by the Air Planning Section (6PD-L) in this document. These sections are ex pected to be addressed by the Air Permit (6PDR) Section.
