(Docket No. 18-CA-PA-26)
Pursuant to Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS), Chapter 342B-13 and Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR), Chapter 11-60.1, the Department of Health, State of Hawaii (DOH), is requesting public comments on a DRAFT PERMIT AMENDMENT presently under review for:
Covered Source Permit (CSP) No. 0370-02-C
Application for Significant Modification No. 0370-05
Mid Pac Petroleum, LLC
Nawiliwili Terminal
Petroleum Bulk Loading Terminal
Located At: 3185 Waapa Road, Lihue, Kauai
The DRAFT PERMIT AMENDMENT is described as follows:
The existing Nawiliwili Terminal currently only permits existing Tank Nos. 1, 4, and 9 to store gasoline. The applicant is proposing to also permit existing Tank Nos. 10 through 15 to store gasoline, these tanks currently store diesel or ethanol and are considered to be insignificant activities.
The purpose of this application is to increase the overall diesel storage capacity for the terminal by utilizing existing Tank No. 4 for diesel storage. Tank No. 4 currently stores gasoline, but can also store diesel. Gasoline would then be stored among the smaller, existing Tank Nos. 10 through 15. No other changes to the permit are being proposed.
Tank Nos. 10 through 15 are subject to the following federal regulations:
1. 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Kb – Standards of Performance for Volatile Organic Liquid Storage Vessels (Including Petroleum Liquid Storage Vessels) for Which Construction, Reconstruction, or Modification Commenced after July 1984.
2. 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart BBBBBB – National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Category: Gasoline Distribution Bulk Terminals, Bulk Plants, and Pipeline Facilities.
Tank Nos. 10 through 15 potential emissions are as follows:
VOC emissions – 9.26 tpy
HAPs emissions – 0.52 tpy
Potential emissions are based on a maximum throughput of 158,166.67 barrels of gasoline per year for each tank, since the maximum throughput of the petroleum tank truck load rack is 949,000 barrels of gasoline/naphtha per year.
