Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7661–7661f.
BAAQMD administers a fully approved
title V operating permit program. The
Clean Air Act affords EPA the
opportunity for a 45-day period to
review, and object to as appropriate,
operating permits proposed by
permitting authorities. Section 505(b)(2)
of the Act authorizes any person to
petition the EPA Administrator within

operating permit if EPA has not done so.
Petitions must be based on objections to

during the comment period or the
grounds for the issues arose after this
period.
BAAQMD submitted proposed
permits to EPA on August 25, 2004
(Chevron and Conoco) and August 26,
2004 (Tesoro and Valero). EPA received
five petitions to object to the permits
(two petitions for the Chevron permit,
and one each for Conoco, Tesoro, and
Valero) prior to the deadline for section
505(b)(2) petitions.
On March 15, 2005, the Administrator
issued one order denying in full the
petition submitted by Unions requesting
the Administrator to object to the permit
for Chevron; two orders partially
granting and partially denying the
petitions submitted by CBE requesting
the Administrator to object to the
permits for Chevron and Conoco; and
two orders partially granting and
partially denying the petitions
submitted by OCE requesting the
Administrator to object to the permits
for Tesoro and Valero. These orders

ACTION: Notice of availability of grants
for implementation of coastal recreation
water monitoring and public
notification under the Beaches
Environmental Assessment and Coastal
Health Act.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Beaches Environmental
Assessment and Coastal Health
(BEACH) Act, signed into law on
October 10, 2000, amended the Clean
Water Act (CWA), to incorporate
provisions to reduce the risk of illness

amended by the BEACH Act, authorizes
the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) to award program

to eligible States, Territories, Tribes, and
local governments to support
microbiological testing and monitoring
of coastal recreation waters, including
the Great Lakes, that are adjacent to
beaches or similar points of access used
by the public. BEACH Act grants also
support development and
implementation of programs to notify
the public of the potential exposure to
disease-causing microorganisms in
coastal recreation waters. EPA
encourages coastal States and Territories
to apply for BEACH Act grants for
program implementation (referred to as
implementation grants) to implement
effective and comprehensive coastal
recreation water monitoring and public
notification programs. EPA also
encourages coastal Tribes to apply for
BEACH Act grants for program
development (referred to as
development grants) to develop effective
and comprehensive coastal recreation
water monitoring and public
notification programs.
DATES: States and Territories must
submit applications on or before June
27, 2005. Eligible tribes should notify
the relevant Regional BEACH Act grant
coordinator of their interest in applying
on or before June 27, 2005. Upon receipt
of a tribe’s notice of interest, EPA will
establish an appropriate application
deadline.
You must send your
application to the appropriate Regional
Grant Coordinator listed in this notice
under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
section VI.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Grant Program
What Is the Statutory Authority for
BEACH Act Grants?
The general statutory authority for
BEACH Act grants is section 406(b) of
the Clean Water Act, as amended by the
BEACH Act, Public Law 106–284, 114
Stat. 970 (2000). It provides: ‘‘The
Administrator may make grants to States
and local governments to develop and
implement programs for monitoring and
notification for coastal recreation waters
adjacent to beaches or similar points of
access that are used by the public.’’
CWA section 406(b)(2)(A), however,
limits EPA’s ability to award
implementation grants only to those
States, Tribes and Territories that meet
certain requirements (see Section II,
Funding and Eligibility, below for
information on specific requirements).
