The LDEQ, Office of Environmental Services, will conduct a public hearing to receive comments on the Part 70 Air Operating major modification, Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Acid Rain permits and the associated Environmental Assessment Statement (EAS) for Entergy Louisiana, LLC, 17420 River Road, Montz, LA 70068-9008 for Little Gypsy Generating Plant. The facility is located at 17420 River Road, Montz, St. Charles Parish.

The hearing will be held on Tuesday, June 12, 2007, beginning at 6:00 p.m., at the La Maison Magnolia Meeting Room, 950 First Street, Norco, LA. During the hearing, all interested persons will have an opportunity to comment on the proposed permit.

Entergy Louisiana, LLC requested to:

• Construct and operate two CFB Boilers (EQT 11 and EQT 12)

• Construct and operate numerous associated fuel handling equipment

• Remove from the site Unit 3 Boiler (EQT 7) once the two CFB Boilers are constructed and begin commercial operation. Unit 3 Boiler will remain a permitted source at this facility until the two CFB Boilers begin commercial operation, at which time Unit 3 Boiler will not be operated concurrently with the two CFB Boilers.

Little Gypsy Generating Plant is a major source under the PSD program, LAC 33:III.509. The modifications associated with the aforementioned project will result in a significant net emissions increase of the following pollutants: particulate matter (PM/PM10), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOC), sulfuric acid mist (H2SO4), and fluorides (HF). Therefore PSD requirements, including best available control technology (BACT) apply. The selection of BACT was based on a top down approach; a more thorough discussion of the BACT selection process can be found in the proposed permit PSD-LA-720.

Neither the project nor the general commercial, residential, industrial, or other growth associated with it is expected to have a significant adverse impact on soil, vegetation, visibility, or air quality in the area of the facility or any Class I area. Because the maximum modeled PM10 (24-hour and annual) and SO2 (3-hour and 24-hour) impacts exceeded their respective modeling significance levels, a determination of increment consumption was required, and the results are summarized in the following table. Modeling demonstrates compliance with the allowable Class II PSD increments.

This permit was processed as an expedited permit in accordance with LAC 33:I.Chapter 18.

The emissions for Phase I of this project, in tons per year, are as follows:

Pollutant	Before	Phase I emissions	Change
PM₁₀²	246.83	941.80	+ 694.97
SO₂	11101.39	10973.02	- 128.37
NO_X	48138.13	33057.40	- 15080.73
CO	2289.86	4482.36	+ 2192.50
VOC¹	85.59	298.27	+ 212.68
¹Toxic VOC Included In Totals	-	105.400	+ 105.400
²Toxic Non-VOC Compounds	-	78.868	+ 78.868

The emissions for Phase II of this project, in tons per year, are as follows:

Pollutant	Phase I emissions	Phase II emissions	Change
PM₁₀²	941.80	519.87	- 421.93
SO₂	10973.02	4443.28	- 6529.74
NO_X	33057.40	18832.88	- 14224.52
CO	4482.36	4825.16	+ 342.80
VOC¹	298.27	277.45	- 20.82
¹Toxic VOC Included In Totals	105.400	65.008	- 40.392
²Toxic Non-VOC Compounds	78.868	290.992	+ 212.124

Estimated emission increases due to the project in tons per year (TPY) are as follows:

A technical review of the working draft of the proposed permit was submitted to the facility representative and the LDEQ Surveillance 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.

All interested persons will be afforded the opportunity to comment on the proposed Part 70 air operating major modification, PSD and Acid Rain modification permits and the associated EAS.

The EAS submitted by the applicant addresses avoidance of potential and real environmental effects, balancing of social and economic benefits against environmental impact costs, and alternative sites, projects, and mitigative measures.

Written comments or written requests for notification of the final permit decision regarding this permit action may also be submitted to Ms. Soumaya Ghosn at LDEQ, Public Participation Group, P.O.
