REF: Request for a public hearing, and extension of 
the public comment period for the proposed DuPont 
Dow Elastomers permit, Review No. 17742, Agency 
Interest No. 38806.

Dear Ms. Cuadra,

	This letter is in reference to the Dupont Dow 
Title V, Part 70 permit application, Review Number 
17742.  We are requesting that the permit 
application be modified to include the TRE (Total 
Resource Effectiveness) calculations and that a new 
30 day public comment period begin at that time.  
We are further requesting that a public hearing be 
held. We would like to point out that page one of 
the permit on public display is illegible and we ask 
that this problem be corrected. 
	The TRE calculations are required under LAC 
33:III:517.D.9 and are an important part of this 
permit and this permit application. We object to the 
issuance of this permit unless and until the public has 
had at least 30 days (after notice) to comment on a 
complete permit application and a record that 
contains all calculations (including without limitation 
the TRE calculations) required under LAC 
33:III:517.D.9.
	

Sincerely,


Marylee Orr
Executive Director
