most recent 30 boiler-operating day 

periods for different units may be 

different); step four, sum together the 

total heat input from the group of coalfired units over each unit’s most recent 

thirty (30) boiler-operating day period; 

and step five, divide the total pounds of 

NOX emitted from step three by the total 

heat input from step four for each group 

of coal-fired units, to calculate the 30- 

day rolling average NOX emission rate 

for each group of coal-fired units, in 

pounds of NOX per MMBtu, for each 

calendar day. Each 30-day rolling 

average NOX emission rate shall include 

all emissions and all heat input that 

occur during all periods within any 

boiler-operating day, including 

emissions from startup, shutdown, and 

malfunction. 

(B) Coronado Generating Station. 

Compliance with the NOX emission 

limits for Coronado Unit 1 and 

Coronado Unit 2 in paragraph (f)(3)(i) of 

this section shall be determined on a 

rolling 30 boiler-operating-day basis. 

The 30-boiler-operating-day rolling NOX

emission rate for each unit shall be 

calculated in accordance with the 

following procedure: Step one, sum the 

total pounds of NOX emitted from the 

unit during the current boiler operating 

day and the previous twenty-nine (29) 

boiler operating days; Step two, sum the 

total heat input to the unit in MMBtu 

during the current boiler operating day 

and the previous twenty-nine (29) boiler 

operating days; Step three, divide the 

total number of pounds of NOX emitted 

from that unit during the thirty (30) 

boiler operating days by the total heat 

input to the unit during the thirty (30) 

boiler operating days. A new 30-boileroperating-day rolling average NOX

emission rate shall be calculated for 

each new boiler operating day. Each 30- 

boiler-operating-day average NOX

emission rate shall include all emissions 

that occur during all periods within any 

boiler operating day, including 

emissions from startup, shutdown, and 

malfunction.

Cholla Power Plant. At all times, 

including periods of startup, shutdown, 

and malfunction, the owner or operator 

of Cholla Power Plant Units 2, 3 and 4 

shall, to the extent practicable, maintain 

and operate each unit including 

associated air pollution control 

equipment in a manner consistent with 

good air pollution control practices for 

minimizing emissions. Pollution control 

equipment shall be designed and 

capable of operating properly to 

minimize emissions during all expected 

operating conditions. Determination of 

whether acceptable operating and 

maintenance procedures are being used 

will be based on information available 

to the Regional Administrator which 

may include, but is not limited to, 

monitoring results, review of operating 

and maintenance procedures, and 

inspection of each unit. 

(ii) Coronado Generating Station. At 

all times, including periods of startup, 

shutdown, and malfunction, the owner 

or operator of Coronado Generating 

Station Unit 1 and Unit 2 shall, to the 

extent practicable, maintain and operate 

each unit in a manner consistent with 

good air pollution control practices for 

minimizing emissions. The owner or 

operator shall continuously operate 

pollution control equipment at all times 

the unit it serves is in operation, and 

operate pollution control equipment in 

a manner consistent with technological 

limitations, manufacturer’s 

specifications, and good engineering 

and good air pollution control practices 

for minimizing emissions. 

Determination of whether acceptable 

operating and maintenance procedures 

are being used will be based on 

information available to the Regional 

Administrator which may include, but 

is not limited to, monitoring results, 

review of operating and maintenance 

procedures, and inspection of each unit.

Michigan: Final Authorization of State 

Hazardous Waste Management 

Program Revision 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: Michigan has applied to EPA 

for final authorization of the revisions to 

its hazardous waste program under the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA). EPA has reviewed 

Michigan’s application with regards to 

federal requirements and is proposing to 

authorize the State’s program revisions. 

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule 

must be received on or before June 1, 

2015. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R05– 

RCRA–2014–0689, by one of the 

following methods:

Instructions: Direct your comments to 

Docket ID Number EPA–R05–RCRA– 

2014–0689. EPA’s policy is that all

comment that is placed in the public 

docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, EPA recommends that you 

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment and with any CD–ROM or 

other electronic media you submit. If 

EPA cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Why are revisions to state programs 

necessary? 

States which have received final 

authorization from EPA under RCRA 

section 3006(b), 42 U.S.C. 6926(b), must 

maintain a hazardous waste program 

that is equivalent to, consistent with, 

and no less stringent than the federal 

program. As the federal program 

changes, states must change their 

programs and request EPA to authorize 

the changes. Changes to state programs 

may be necessary when federal or state 

statutory or regulatory authority is 

modified or when certain other changes 

occur. Most commonly, states must 

change their programs because of 

changes to EPA’s regulations in 40 Code 

of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 124, 

260 through 266, 268, 270, 273 and 279. 

B. What decisions have we made in this 

rule? 

We have made a tentative decision 

that Michigan’s application to revise its 

authorized program meets all of the 

statutory and regulatory requirements 

established by RCRA. Therefore, we 

propose to grant Michigan final 

authorization to operate its hazardous 

waste program with the revisions 

described in the authorization 

application. Michigan will have 

responsibility for permitting treatment, 

storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) 

within its borders (except in Indian 

Country) and for carrying out the 

aspects of the RCRA program described 

in its program revision application, 

subject to the limitations of the 

Hazardous and Solid Waste 

Amendments of 1984 (HSWA). New 

federal requirements and prohibitions 

imposed by federal regulations that EPA 

promulgates under the authority of 

HSWA take effect in authorized states 

before they are authorized for the 

requirements. Thus, EPA will 

implement those requirements and 

prohibitions in Michigan, including 

issuing permits, until the State is 

granted authorization to do so. 

C. What is the effect of this 

authorization decision? 

The effect of this tentative decision, 

once finalized, is that a facility in 

Michigan subject to RCRA would have 

to comply with the authorized state 

requirements instead of the equivalent 

federal requirements in order to comply 

with RCRA. Michigan has enforcement 

responsibilities under its state 

hazardous waste program for violations 

of such program, but EPA retains its 

authority under RCRA sections 3007, 

3008, 3013, and 7003, which include 

among others, authority to: 

1. Perform inspections, and require 

monitoring, tests, analyses or reports; 

2. Enforce RCRA requirements and 

suspend or revoke permits; and 

3. Take enforcement actions 

regardless of whether the State has 

taken its own actions.
