Public Comment

The public comment period began on August 9, 2020 and ended on September 8, 2020. No comments were received.

Administrative Record

The final permit and all other supporting information are available through www.regulations.gov under Docket ID No. EPA-R09-OAR-2020-0373. If you are not able to access the administrative record through the online docket, please contact Laweeda Ward (ward.laweeda@epa.gov) at (213) 244-1812.

Permit Appeal

In accordance with 40 CFR 71.11(l), within 30 days after a final permit decision has been issued, any person who filed comments on the draft permit or participated in a public hearing may petition the Environmental Appeals Board (EAB) to review any condition of the permit decision. Any person who failed to file comments or to participate in the public hearing may petition for administrative review only to the extent that the changes from the draft to the final permit or other new grounds were not reasonably ascertainable during the public comment period. The 30-day period within which a person may request review under this section begins with service of notice of the final permit decision. A petition to the EAB is a prerequisite to seeking judicial review of the final agency action under Section 307(b) of the CAA. For purposes of judicial review, final agency action occurs when we deny or issue a final permit and agency review procedures are exhausted. Following an appeal to the EAB, the EPA will issue a final permit decision as specified in 40 CFR 71.11(l)(5).

Permit Effective Date

In accordance with 40 CFR 71.11(i)(2)(iii), because no public comments were received, the part 71 permit renewal becomes effective immediately upon issuance. 

***Please bring the foregoing notice to the attention of all persons who would be interested in this matter.***
