SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Central Wayne Energy Limited Partnership
owns and operates a municipal waste incinerator facility in Dearborn
Heights, Michigan. On November 24, 1997, the Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality issued Central Wayne a Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) permit approving certain changes to its municipal
waste incinerator facility. The permit was first issued on October 30,
1997, but was then later revised and reissued on November 24 1997.
Only one individual attempted to file a petition for review with
the Environmental Appeals Board (Board) objecting to the issuance of
the Central Wayne PSD permit. That petition was denied by the Board
since it was not timely filed. The Board dismissed the petition with
prejudice on February 26, 1998 (PSD Appeal No. 98-1). The Board also
denied and dismissed the petitioner's Motion for Reconsideration on
March 26, 1998.
The time period established by the Permit Regulations at 40 CFR
124.19 for petitioning the Administrator to review any condition of the
permit decision has expired. Such a petition to the Administrator is,
under 5 U.S.C. 704, a prerequisite to seek judicial review of the final
agency action. No petitions for review of this permit have been timely
filed with the Administrator.
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, judicial review of
the approval of this action is available, if at all, only by the filing
of a petition for a review in the United States Sixth Circuit Court of
Appeals within 60 days of publication of today's document. Under
section 307(b)(2) of the Clean Air Act, the requirements, which are the
subject of today's document, may not be challenged later in civil or
criminal proceedings brought by EPA to enforce these requirements.
Jo Lynn Traub,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 5.
