Pursuant to 40 CFR 71.11(f), EPA shall hold a Public Hearing if the Regional Administrator finds, on the basis of requ ests, a significant amount of public interest in a draft permit. Requests for a Public Hearing must contain the reasons for requesting a hearing. If a Public Hearing is granted, a public notice stating the date, time and place of the hearing will be made at least 30 days prior to the hearing and the comment period will be extended through the hearing date.

A legal ad to be published in the Arizona Republic on August 20 , 2013 will announce EPA’s proposal to issue the re newed Title V permit. All comments upon or objections to the draft permit and requests for a Public Hearing must be sent or delivered to Eugene Chen at the address

shown above by September 19 , 2013 . An extension of the 30

- day comment period may beg ranted if the request for an extension adequately explains why more time is required to prepare comments. All comments received prior to the end of the public comment period and all comments made during a public hearing will be considered in arriving at a final decision on the permit. The final permit is a public record that can be obtained upon request. A statement of reasons for changes made to the draft permit and responses to comments received will be sent to all persons who commented on the draft per mit.

If you believe any condition of the draft permit is inappropriate or that our initial decision to deny an application, terminate a permit, or prepare a draft permit is inappropriate, you must raise all reasonably ascertainable issues and submit all reasonably ascertainable arguments supporting your position by the end of the comment period.

If you would like to be added to the mailing list for updates on a particular facility or for updates on EPA’s Title V Operating Permit program, please contact EPA at the address listed above. Please bring the foregoing notice to the attention of all persons who you know would be interested in this

matter.
