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.

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. PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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.
