Acid Rain Program: Draft Permit Modifications
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of draft permit modifications.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is issuing for
comment draft modifications to the sulfur dioxide (SO2) compliance
plans of two previously issued final Phase I Acid Rain Permits in
accordance with the Acid Rain Program regulations (40 CFR part 72).
DATES: Comments on the draft modifications must be received no later
than 30 days after the date of this notice or the date of publication
of a similar notice in a local newspaper, whichever is later.
ADDRESSES: Administrative Records. The administrative record for the
permits, except information protected as confidential, may be viewed
during normal operating hours at EPA Region 5, 77 West Jackson Blvd,
Chicago, IL, 60604.
Comments. Send comments, requests for public hearings, and requests
to receive notice of future actions to David Kee, Division Director,
Air and Radiation Division, EPA Region 5, (address above). Submit
comments in duplicate and identify the permit to which the comments
apply, the commenter's name, address, and telephone number, and the
commenter's interest in the matter and affiliation, if any, to the
owners and operators of all units in the plan. All timely comments will
be considered, except those pertaining to standard provisions under 40
CFR 72.9 or issues not relevant to the permit.
Hearings. To request a public hearing, state the issues proposed to
be raised in the hearing. EPA may schedule a hearing if EPA finds that
it will contribute to the decision-making process by clarifying
significant issues affecting an SO2 compliance plan.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Call Genevieve Nearmyer, (312) 353-4761.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title IV of the Clean Air Act directs EPA to
establish the Acid Rain Program to reduce the adverse environmental and
public health effects of acidic deposition. Under the program, each
affected unit at an electric utility generating plant must hold one
allowance for each ton of SO2 that is emitted during the year, and
each plant must have a permit with a plan for complying. In today's
action, EPA is issuing, for public comment, draft modifications to
existing permits, allocating SO2 emission allowances and approving
SO2 compliance plans, to the following utility plants:
Baldwin in Illinois: one substitution plan for 1995-1999, in which
unit 3 designates Havana units 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 as
substitution units.
Havana in Illinois: one substitution plan for 1995-1999, in which
Baldwin unit 3 designates units 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 as
substitution units; 34 substitution allowances are allocated for each
year 1995-1999 to units 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8; 43 substitution
allowances are allocated for each year 1995-1999 to unit 2.
The Designated Representative for Baldwin and Havana is Jene L.
Robinson.
Dated: March 27, 1995.
Brian J. McLean,
Director, Acid Rain Division, Office of Atmospheric Programs, Office of
Air and Radiation.
