PUBLIC NOTICE

CENTERPOINT ENERGY GAS TRANSMISSION, LLC

SLIGO SOIL REMEDIATION FACILITY

PROPOSED SYNTHETIC MINOR SOURCE AIR OPERATING PERMIT

The LDEQ, Office of Environmental Services, is accepting written comments on a proposed synthetic minor source air operating permit for Centerpoint Energy Gas Transmission, LLC, 4500 W. 61st Street, Little Rock, AR 72209  for the Sligo Soil Remediation Facility.  The facility is located at Arkla Plant Rd (off Sligo Rd) in Haughton, Bossier Parish.

Centerpoint Energy Gas Transmission, LLC requested a modification of the permit to address an increase in emissions associated with the existing soil vapor extraction/in-situ air sparge (SVE/IAS) system (Point Source No. BW-#1, TRT001). Following a recent optimization of the SVE/IAS system in December 2011, CEGT has observed improved efficiency in the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from groundwater and the vadose zone. CEGT is therefore requesting a modification to the existing permit resulting in an increased threshold of total annual air emissions of VOCs. To allow for greatest operational flexibility, CEGT is requesting that facility-wide HAP emissions be permitted at less than 9.00 tpy for each individual HAP and 24.75 tpy for total HAPs combined.

Estimated emissions from this facility in tons per year are as follows:

Pollutant	Before	After	Change
PM10	-	-	-
PM2.5 a	-	-	-
SO2	-	-	-
NOX	-	-	-
CO	-	-	-
VOC b	39.52	96.82	+57.30

Total TAP’s

A technical review of the working draft of the proposed permit was submitted to the facility representative and the LDEQ Inspection Division.  Any remarks received during the technical review will be addressed in the “Worksheet for Technical Review of Working Draft of Proposed Permit”.  All remarks received by LDEQ are included in the record that is available for public review.

They will have stainless steel bodies and trim, and the plug sleeves will be a proprietary Xomox material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 600°F. The design temperature for the pipe material specification is 400°F, but plug valves in this service are specified as “fire sealed”. The high temperature sleeve material is required to meet the external fire (“fire sealed”) condition.  In addition, one pressure transmitter and associated valve will be replaced with equipment similar in design.  The scope of work will also replace four flanges, again, similar in kind.

These modifications and upgrades will not alter design or operation.  This change will not alter the permit conditions or reduce the capacity of the facility to protect human health and the environment.
