The Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District (District) proposes to renew an operating permit for The Chemours Company FC, LLC (manufactures refrigerant gases), 4200 Camp Ground Road, in accordance with Regulation 2.16. The 30-day public comment period starts on March 17, 2025, and ends on April 16, 2025. A public hearing may be scheduled if the District determines that there are germane, unresolved issues or substantial public interest, in accordance with Regulation 2.07.
Drafts of the permit and summary are available on the District website, by emailing our permitting section, calling Matt King at (502) 574-6000, or at the District office 701 West Ormsby Avenue, Suite 303, Louisville, KY 40203, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Copies of the application are available upon request. Written comments will be accepted through the District’s online public comment form until midnight or at the District office until 5:00 p.m. on April 16, 2025.
EPA has agreed to treat this draft Title V permit as a proposed Title V permit and to perform its 45-day review provided by the law and regulations concurrently with the public notice period. Although EPA’s 45-day review period will be performed concurrently with the public comment period, the deadline for submitting a citizen petition to object to the EPA Administrator will be determined as if EPA’s 45-day review period is performed after the public comment period has ended (i.e., sequentially).
The status regarding EPA’s 45-day review of this project and the deadline for submitting a citizen petition can be found at the following website address:

What is the purpose of this permit? This action renews the operating permit for a five-year term and incorporates construction permits C-0062-24-0010-V, C-0062-0032-21-V and C-0062-0009-20-V into the operating permit. Additionally, as approved in previous construction permits, the facility is taking limits below the major source levels of 10 tons per year for single hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and 25 tons per year for total HAPs to become subject to the area source National Emissions Standards for National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) instead of Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards.
-
Will this permit increase pollution? Renewing this operating permit will not increase pollution.
-
Does this facility have a history of non-compliance? There are no records of any violations since the issuance of the last operating permit.
-
Where can I find out more? Additional information, including equipment descriptions, potential emissions, and applicable rules, are summarized in the Statement of Basis. The draft permit details the application of these rules to the equipment and includes the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting that the District believes is necessary to demonstrate compliance.
