SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Act affords EPA a 45-day period to review, and object to as appropriate, operating permits proposed by State permitting authorities. Section 505(b)(2) of the Act authorizes any person to petition the EPA Administrator within 60 days after the expiration of this review period to object to State operating permits if 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 the grounds for the issues arose after this period. On October 26, 2005, the EPA received a petition from Petitioners, requesting that EPA object to the issuance of the title V operating permit for the CCP based on the following allegations: (1) The permit lacks a statement of basis; (2) the permit fails to include a compliance schedule; (3) CCP’s past violations are not properly addressed through permit enforcement action and in the permitting process; (4) the permit needs additional monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting provisions; (5) the permit failed to adequately limit emissions of particulate matter; and (6) the permit failed to enforce environmental justice requirements. On May 25, 2006, the Administrator issued an order partially granting and partially denying the petition on CCP. The order explains the reasons behind EPA’s conclusion that the NJDEP must re-issue the permit to include annual tune-up requirements for the turbine. VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:10 Jul 07, 2006 Jkt 208001 The order also explains the reasons for denying Petitioners’ remaining claims. Dated: June 15, 2006. Alan J.
