SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Act 

affords EPA a 45-day period to review 

and object, as appropriate, to Title V 

operating permits proposed by state 

permitting authorities. Section 505(b)(2) 

of the Act authorizes any person to 

petition the EPA Administrator within 

60 days after the expiration of the EPA 

review period to object to a Title V 

operating permit if EPA has not done so. 

A petition 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 issues 

during the comment period, or the 

grounds for the issues arose after this 

period. 

On July 1, 2015, EPA received a 

petition from Philip Nolan (Petitioner) 

requesting that EPA object to the Title 

V operating permit for Waupaca. The 

Petitioner alleged that the permit is not 

in compliance with the requirements of 

the Act. Specifically, the Petitioner 

alleged that: (1) The permit does not 

limit Hazardous Air Pollutant emissions 

to a concentration of 4.59 mg/m3, (2) the 

permit does not comply with Section 

112 of the Act and the National 

Emission Standard for Hazardous Air 

Pollutants for the iron and steel foundry 

industry, (3) the EPA should conduct a 

residual risk and technology review, (4) 

the permit limits are insufficient to 

protect public health, (5) the modeling 

procedures used to determine public 

health risk were not correct, and (6) 

additional emissions control technology 

should be used. 

On July 14, 2016, the Administrator 

issued an Order denying the petition. 

The Order explains the reasons behind 

EPA’s conclusion. 

Dated: August 1, 2016.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 5.

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System 

(NPDES) General Permits (GP) for 

discharges from potable water treatment 

facilities (PWTF) to certain waters of the 

Commonwealth of Massachusetts and 

the State of New Hampshire. The draft 

General Permits establish Notice of 

Intent (NOI) requirements, effluent 

limitations, standard and special 

conditions, prohibitions, and best

with discharges from potable water 

treatment facilities. These General 

Permits replace the previous PWTF GP

The draft PWTF GP is based on an 

administrative record available for 

public review at EPA–Region 1, Office 

of Ecosystem Protection, 5 Post Office 

Square, Suite 100, Boston, 

Massachusetts 02109–3912. A

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Public Comment Information: 

Interested persons may submit written 

comments on the draft General Permits 

to the EPA-Region I at the address listed 

above. Within the comment period, 

interested persons may also request, in 

writing, that EPA hold a public hearing 

pursuant to 40 CFR 124.12, concerning 

the draft General Permits. Such requests 

shall state the nature of the issues 

proposed to be raised at the hearing. A 

public hearing may be held at least 

thirty days after public notice whenever 

the Regional Administrator finds that 

response to this notice indicates 

significant public interest. In reaching a 

final decision on this draft permit, the 

Regional Administrator will respond to 

all significant comments and make 

responses available to the public at 

EPA’s Boston office. All comments and 

requests for public hearings must be 

postmarked or delivered by the close of 

the public comment period. 

General Information: EPA is 

proposing to reissue two general permits 

for wastewater discharges from potable 

water treatment facilities in 

Massachusetts and New Hampshire, that 

are generally less than or equal to 1.0 

million gallons per day (MGD) and that 

use one or more of the following 

treatment processes: Clarification, 

Coagulation, Media Filtration, 

Membrane filtration (not including 

reverse osmosis), and Disinfection. 

While the draft General Permits are two 

distinct permits, for convenience, EPA 

has grouped them together in a single 

document and has provided a single fact 

sheet. This document refers to the draft 

General ‘‘Permit’’ in the singular. The 

draft General Permit, fact sheet, and 

mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES

52852 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 154 / Wednesday, August 10, 2016 / Notices 

appendices are available at: http://

www.epa.gov/region1/npdes/

pwtfgp.html. 

The draft general permit includes 

effluent limitations and requirements 

based on technology-based 

considerations, best professional 

judgment (BPJ), and water quality 

considerations. The effluent limits 

established in the draft General Permit 

assure that the surface water quality 

standards of the receiving water(s) are 

attained and/or maintained. The permit 

also contains BMP requirements in 

order to ensure EPA has the information 

necessary to ensure compliance and to 

ensure discharges meet water quality 

standards. 

Obtaining Authorization: In order to 

obtain authorization to discharge, 

operators must submit a complete and 

accurate NOI containing the information 

in Appendix IV of the draft General 

Permit. Facilities currently authorized 

to discharge under the Expired PWTF 

GP must submit a NOI within 90 days 

of the effective date of the final General 

Permit. Operators with new discharges 

must submit a NOI at least 60 days prior 

to initiating discharges and following 

the effective date of the final General 

Permit. Facilities with existing 

discharges that were not authorized 

under the Expired PWTF GP and which 

use aluminum in their treatment process 

must conduct more extensive water 

quality sampling data and submit this 

information with the NOI within 6 

months of the effective date of the final 

General Permit. 

Operators must meet the eligibility 

requirements of the General Permit prior 

to submission of a NOI. An operator will 

be authorized to discharge under the 

General Permit upon receipt of written 

notice from EPA following EPA’s web 

posting of the submitted NOI. EPA will 

authorize the discharge, request 

additional information, or require the 

operator to apply for an alternative 

permit or an individual permit. The 

effective date of the final General Permit 

will be specified in the Federal Register 

publication of the Notice of Availability 

of the final permit. 

Other Legal Requirements: 

Endangered Species Act (ESA): EPA has 

updated the provisions and necessary 

actions and documentation related to 

potential impacts to endangered species 

from facilities seeking coverage under 

the PWTF GP. EPA has requested 

concurrence from the appropriate 

federal services (U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service and National Marine Fisheries 

Service) in connection with this draft 

General Permit. 

National Historic Preservation Act 

(NHPA): In accordance with NHPA, 

EPA has established provisions and 

documentation requirements for sites 

seeking coverage under the PWTF GP to 

ensure that discharges or actions taken 

under this General Permit will not 

adversely affect historic properties and 

places. 

Authority: This action is being taken 

under the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 

et seq.
