issued on June 27,
2003.
The
current period
for petitioning

Koch and IEPA are requesting an

IEPA will likely not complete

1.
Koch
has requested
IEPA
to
reissue
the
Permit for
the reasons set
forth
in
the

Dear Mr. Jones:
Asa follow-np to

revisions to

Teiminah~
~o
sinnnxaiize our ~liscuzsinn,
the followingrevisions were proposed by KPI~
•
The
gallon/month
throughput limitin Paragraph
5
shouldbechanged to 137,000,000 gallons/month since the
xrnnibct
IEPA
mcd in
the
permit-u-as
the averageof only
one tank

which there
arefour), but
the
permit
showed
it
as a
facility-wide limitfor routine ruatetial stoiugc.
a
Paragraph
6
shouldbe
amended since
VO~(
emissions from fegitwe
losses, meter
proving, maintenance activities,
tank cleaning
andfilters
xniay
well excccd
4
tons peryrac.
We
propose amending
this
amount to
12
tons.
Tha
would accommodate fugitive lossesas well as potentialmaintenance ac:tivities thatmay be retptixed in use future (L.a.
multiple
tank emptying and refills~eithin
a.year
due
to
expected/unexpected outages driven by inspections,, seal
damage, maintenance, etc.~
•
‘We
requestHAP limits
be changed
to
10
touts/year ofa
singleHAP aurd 25 tons/year
of any

of such
to be consistent ‘with

Per
our discussion, you agreed to
the

an increase in
