SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CAA affords the EPA a 45-day period to 
review, and object to, as appropriate, a Title V operating permit 
proposed by a state permitting authority. Section 505(b)(2) of the CAA 
authorizes any person to petition the EPA Administrator, within 60 days 
after the expiration of this review period, to object to a Title V 
operating permit if the EPA has not done so. Petitions must be based 
only on objections to the permit that were raised with reasonable 
specificity during the public comment period provided by the state, 
unless the petitioner demonstrates that it was impracticable to raise 
these issues during the comment period or that the grounds for the 
objection or other issues arose after this period. The claims are 
described in detail in Section IV of the Order. In summary, the issues 
raised are that: (1) The Seneca Meadows Landfill and the Energy 
Facility together constitute a single major stationary source of 
emissions; and (2) the Energy Facility's Title V permit is a ``sham 
permit.'' The EPA's rationale for denying the claims raised in the 
petition are described in the Order.
