The CAA affords EPA a 45-day period to review, and object to as appropriate, a title V operating permit proposed by State permitting authorities. 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 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 issue arose after this period. EPA received a petition from the Petitioners dated October 4, 2011, requesting that EPA object to the issuance of the title V operating permit to Luminant Generation Company— Sandow 5 Generating Plant located near Rockdale, Milam County, Texas based on the following contentions: (1) The Sandow 5 title V permit impermissibly incorporates by reference emission limitations established in a major New Source Review permit, (2) the Sandow 5 title V permit impermissibly incorporates by reference the EPAdisapproved Pollution Control Project Standard Permit, (3) the permit impermissibly incorporates permit by rules (this claim is divided into 7 subclaims), and (4) the permit lacks a Maximum Achievable Control Technology determination as required by CAA section 112(g). On January 15, 2013, the Administrator issued an Order denying the petition. The Order explains the reasons behind EPA’s conclusion to deny the petition.
