Local Government Advisory Committee: Request for Nominations, 33910 [2017-15383]

Download as PDF 33910 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 139 / Friday, July 21, 2017 / Notices The CAA affords EPA a 45-day period to review, and object, as appropriate, to a title V operating permit proposed by a state permitting authority. Section 505(b)(2) of the CAA and 40 CFR 70.8(d) 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 unless the grounds for the issue arose after this period. EPA received the petition from the Petitioners on January 24, 2016 for the operating permit issued on December 18, 2015 to Bunge North America, Inc. Destrehan Grain Elevator, Destrehan, St. Charles Parish, Louisiana. The Petitioner requests that the Administrator object to the proposed operating permit issued by the LDEQ to Bunge based on two claims. The claims are described in detail in Section IV of the Order. In summary, the issues raised are that: (1) The permit fails to comply with the Act’s requirements for inclusion of a compliance plan and schedule in an issued permit; and, (2) the permit should have addressed the state ‘Environmental Assessment’ as mandated under Louisiana Revised Statute R.S. 30:2018(C) for any source undergoing a ‘substantial modification.’ The Order issued on June 7, 2017 responds to the Petition and explains the basis for EPA’s decision.
