Petitioner submitted a petition regarding the Paradise Fossil Fuel Plant on January 9, 2010, requesting that EPA object to the CAA title V operating permit (#V–07–018R1). Petitioner alleged that the permit was not consistent with the CAA because it failed to include a prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) analysis for the three main boilers (Units 1–3) due to alleged major modifications undertaken at Paradise Fossil Fuel Plant VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:14 May 13, 2011 Jkt 223001 beginning in 1984 without TVA obtaining required PSD permits.
