Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of final order on petition 

to object to a state operating permit. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 505(b)(2) 

of the Clean Air Act (the Act) and 40 

CFR 70.8(d), the EPA Administrator 

signed an order, dated November 10, 

2004, denying a petition to object to a 

state operating permit issued by the 

Georgia Environmental Protection 

Division (EPD) to Hercules, Inc. 

(Hercules) located in Brunswick, Glynn 

County, Georgia. This order constitutes 

final action on the petition submitted by 

the Glynn Environmental Coalition and 

the Center for a Sustainable Coast 

(Petitioners). Pursuant to section 

505(b)(2) of the Act, any person may 

seek judicial review in the United States

Region 4, at (404) 562–9115 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Act 

affords EPA a 45-day period to review 

and, as appropriate, to object to 

operating permits proposed by state 

permitting authorities under title V of 

the Act, 42 U.S.C. 7661–7661f. Section 

505(b)(2) of the Act and 40 CFR 70.8(d) 

authorize any person to petition the 

EPA Administrator to object to a title V 

operating permit within 60 days after 

the expiration of EPA’s 45-day review 

period if EPA has not objected on its 

own initiative. 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 the 

grounds for the issues arose after this 

period. 

On January 23, 2003, the 

Administrator received a petition 

requesting that EPA object to a state title 

V operating permit issued by EPD to 

Hercules. The Petitioners maintain that 

the Hercules permit is inconsistent with 

the Act because: (1) The permit fails to 

include all applicable requirements, 

specifically Georgia Rule 391–3–1–

.02(2)(a)1. and (2) the permit fails to 

assure compliance with said rule. 

On November 10, 2004, the 

Administrator issued an order denying 

this petition. The order explains the 

reasons behind EPA’s conclusion that 

the Petitioners failed to demonstrate 

that the Hercules permit is not in 

compliance with the requirements of the 

Act on the grounds raised.

Dated: November 18, 2004. 

J.I. Palmer, Jr., 

Regional Administrator, Region 4.
