Please see attached, a request for Presidential Exemption for Westlake Chemical OpCo LP's & Westlake Styrene LLC's
HON-covered facilities at 900 Highway 108, Sulphur, Louisiana 70665 and 1910 Paktank Rd, Sulphur, LA 70665
as ....
by U.S. EPA of the regulated community. As explained in greater detail in the attached letter, Westlake is
seeking a Presidential Exemption under the New Source Performance Standards for the Synthetic Organic Chemical
Manufacturing Industry and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for the Synthetic Organic Chemical
Manufacturing Industry and Group I & II Polymers and Resins. See 89 FR 42932; May 16, 2024 (HON rule).
As Westlake's evaluation of the requirements under the HON rule progresses and we continue to develop our compliance plans, Westlake may have additional detail or more concrete information related to the technical challenges, time required and costs for coming into compliance with the HON rule. Some of that more detailed information may include confidential business information which Westlake would be willing to provide under the appropriate protections for such competitive and trade secret information. Please contact me (Darren Lanthier) at dlanthier@westlake.com should EPA or the President require more detailed information about specific impacts to Westlake's Petrochemical (Ethylene Manufacturing) Complex, Styrene Monomer Production and/or Styrene Marine Terminal Facilities.
Thank you for the timely consideration of this request.
