I received from the TNRCC an NOV letter for the above facility for failure to  submit an emissions inventory for 2000.
This notification from the agency  originally came to Rick Loveless by way of Wayne Brunette.
I called the  TNRCC and spoke to Kevin Cauble concerning the NOV and he pulled the  emissions inventory submitted in 1999 for the facility.
Because VOC's are  the issue, I asked him what the emissions were for VOC's on the 1999  inventory.
Kevin stated that the inventory showed VOC emissions of 19.50  tons/yr actuals and 33.56 tons/yr potentials.
We discussed why EOTT would  submit an inventory as it is not a major source and not required to.
The  only thing we could come up with is that EOTT may have anticipated an  increase in throughput at this site and therefore, wanted to ensure that this  facility was shown as a title V source.
According to the phone records from  the TNRCC for this facility, Craig Willoughby of Entrix had  requested that  the faciltiy be kept on the list of facilities required to do inventories.
I  have a call into EOTT to determine whether increased throughput is proposed  for this facility in the near future.
In speaking with Kevin, he suggested that if a determination is made that if  there is to be an increased throughput that wont exceed the 100 ton/yr limit  on VOC's, or that throughput conditions remain approximately consistent with  previous years, EOTT should provide written notification to the agency that  this facility does not meet the applicability requirements of 101.10  (emissions inventory requirements) and request that this facility be removed  from the TNRCC mailings.
Should EOTT confirm the status of operating  throughput to be below the 100 ton/yr VOC emissions limit, I will make make  written notification to the TNRCC requesting removal from the list.
