Clean Air Act Operating Permit 

Program; Petition for Objection to 

State Operating Permit for Louisville 

Gas and Electric Company—Trimble 

County Generating Station; Bedford 

(Trimble County), KY 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of final order on petition 

to object to a state operating permit. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Clean Air Act 

(CAA) Section 505(b)(2) and 40 CFR 

70.8(d), the EPA Administrator signed 

an Order, dated August 12, 2009, 

partially granting and partially denying 

a petition to object to a state operating 

permit issued by the Kentucky Division 

for Air Quality (KDAQ) to Louisville 

Gas and Electric (LG&E) for its Trimble 

County Generating Station located in 

Bedford, Trimble County, Kentucky. 

This Order constitutes a final action on 

the petitions submitted by Save the 

Valley, Sierra Club, and Valley Watch 

(Petitioners) on April 28, 2008 (Petition 

2), and March 2, 2006 (Petition 1), 

respectively. Pursuant to section 

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

seek judicial review of the Order in the 

United States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit within 60 days of 

this notice under section 307(b) of the 

Act. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the Order, the 

petition, and all pertinent information 

relating thereto are on file at the 

following location: EPA Region 4, Air, 

Pesticides and Toxics Management 

Division, 61 Forsyth Street, SW., 

Atlanta, Georgia 30303–8960. The Order 

is also available electronically at the 

following address: http://www.epa.gov/

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Art 

Hofmeister, Air Permits Section, EPA 

Region 4, at (404) 562–9115 or 

hofmeister.art@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CAA 

affords EPA a 45-day period to review 

and, as appropriate, the authority to 

object to operating permits proposed by 

state permitting authorities under title V 

of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7661–7661f. 

Section 505(b)(2) of the CAA 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. 

Petitioners submitted the first of two 

petitions regarding the LG&E Trimble 

County Generating Station on March 2, 

2006, requesting that EPA object to 

Revision 2 to the LG&E merged 

prevention of significant deterioration 

and title V operating permit. The second 

petition, regarding Revision 3 to the 

merged permit, was submitted on April 

29, 2008. On September 10, 2008, EPA 

issued a ‘‘Partial Order Responding to 

March 2, 2006, Petition and Denying in 

Part and Granting in Part Request for 

Objection to Permit Revision 2.’’ In the 

September 2008 Order, EPA explained 

that some issues raised in Petition 1 

were affected by permit Revision 3 and 

also discussed in Petition 2. At this 

time, EPA is addressing all the 

remaining issues identified by 

Petitioners in Petitions 1 and 2. 

Petitioners alleged that the permit was 

not consistent with the CAA for the 

following reasons: (1) Public 

participation procedures were not 

adequate; (2) the permit failed to 

include requirements for addressing 

green house gases; (3) the best available 

control technology (BACT) analysis for 

nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide was 

not adequate; (4) BACT for the auxiliary 

boiler and emergency diesel generator 

were not adequate; (5) BACT for support 

operations was not adequate; (6) BACT 

for particulate matter (PM) and 

particulate matter with a diameter less 

than or equal to ten micrometers (PM10) 

was not adequate; (7) BACT for sulfuric 

acid mist (SAM) was not adequate; (8) 

the permit failed to consider particulate 

matter with a diameter less than or 

equal to 2.5 micrometers; (9) the permit 

failed to express limits in an adequate 

manner; (10) BACT analyses did not 

include clean fuels; (11) the permit 

lacked a maximum achievable control 

technology determination for mercury 

and other hazardous air pollutants; (12) 

the emission limits for SAM, PM/PM10, 

and mercury were not enforceable 

(compliance assurance monitoring 

concerns); and (13) the permit 

improperly relied on manufacturer 

specifications that are not included in 

the permit, did not identify test 

methods, and additional concerns 

regarding netting. 

On August 12, 2009, the 

Administrator issued an Order partially 

granting and partially denying the 

petition. The Order explains EPA’s 

rationale for granting the petition with 

respect to issues 4 and 8, above, and 

denying on the other issues.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About IRIS 

IRIS is a database that contains 

potential adverse human health effects 

information that may result from 

chronic (or lifetime) exposure to specific 

chemical substances found in the 

environment. The database (available on 

the Internet at http://www.epa.gov/iris) 

contains qualitative and quantitative 

health effects information for more than 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 184 / Thursday, September 24, 2009 / Notices 48733 

540 chemical substances that may be 

used to support the first two steps 

(hazard identification and doseresponse evaluation) of a risk 

assessment process. When supported by 

available data, the database provides 

oral reference doses (RfDs) and 

inhalation reference concentrations 

(RfCs) for chronic health effects, and 

oral slope factors and inhalation unit 

risks for carcinogenic effects. Combined 

with specific exposure information, 

government and private entities can use 

IRIS data to help characterize public 

health risks of chemical substances in a 

site-specific situation and thereby 

support risk management decisions 

designed to protect public health.
