PUBLIC NOTICE


Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy
Air Quality Division

Notice is given to the public, according to Chapter 14 of Title 129 - Nebraska Air Quality Regulations, that the Department is proposing to issue a Class I operating permit to NuStar Osceola Terminal for the operation of a refined and intermediate petroleum product pipeline terminal (Standard Industrial Classification code 4613) located at 1705 131st Road, Osceola, Polk County, Nebraska. The potential emissions of regulated air pollutants (in tons per year (tpy)) at this facility will be: 0.00 tpy of Particulate Matter (PM), 0.00 tpy of PM ≤ 10 microns (PM10), 0.00 tpy PM ≤ 2.5 microns (PM2.5), 0.00 tpy Sulfur Dioxide, 0.00 tpy Oxides of Nitrogen, 0.00 tpy Carbon Monoxide, 58.12 tpy Volatile Organic Compounds, 1.02 tpy of Hexane (largest quantity individual Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP), 3.65 tpy total HAPs, and 0.00 tpy Greenhouse Gases CO2 equivalents (CO2e).

Polk County meets the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for those pollutants subject to a NAAQS and is expected to continue in that status. Polk County is unclassifiable in regard to the state Total Reduced Sulfur (TRS) standards and no significant impact on these standards is expected from this project. No impact is anticipated on habitat for any rare or threatened species.

The NDEE proposes to issue a Class I operating permit with specific conditions, based on Title 129, which authorizes the operation of a refined and intermediate petroleum product pipeline terminal potentially subject to 40 CFR 63 Subparts A and BBBBBB and all related performance testing, recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

The proposed permit and supporting materials are available for inspection by the public January 28, 2021 through March 1, 2021 at the office of the NDEE, Suite 400, 245 Fallbrook Blvd., Lincoln, Nebraska, and electronically at http://deq.ne.gov. Comments received during this period will be considered prior to the final decision. During this period the applicant, or any interested person or group of persons, may request or petition the Director for a public hearing, the request must state the nature of the issues to be raised and all arguments and factual grounds supporting their position. If a public hearing is granted by the Director, the hearing will be advertised by public notice at least 30 days prior to the hearing.
