Re: Notification of Incompleteness of 40 C.F.R. Part 71 Permit Renewal Application 

Dear Mr. Harris: 

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has reviewed the application for renewal of a Clean 

Air Act (CAA) Title V permit that Veolia ES Technical Solutions, L.L.C , Sauget, Illinois 

(Veolia) submitted to EPA on April 8 and August 16, 2013. Veolia operates under a federal 

Title V Permit to Operate No. V-IL-12716300103-08-01, which EPA issued on 

September 12, 2008, pursuant to Title V of the CA A and its implementing regulations at 

40 C.F.R. Part 71. Veolia's permit expires on October 12, 2013. 

Completeness Determination 

Pursuant to 40 C.F.R. § 71.5(a)(2), EPA has determined that the information submitted in the 

above referenced application is administratively complete. Pursuant to 40 C.F.R. §§ 71.5 (a) 

(2) and 71.7(b), since we have deemed Veolia's permit application to be complete, Veolia is 

covered by an application shield, which allows Veolia to continue operating its facility even 

though EPA has not yet issued Veolia's permit. This application shield is in effect from the date 

of completeness until we have issued the final permit, provided Veolia submits any requested 

information by the specified deadlines. 

Please be aware that the permit application shield does not mean we have already approved the 

requested permit, nor does it mean that we have determined that you have adequately addressed 

compliance concerns in your application. The permit application shield means only that Veolia 

may operate its facility during the period until we have issued the final permit.

Duty to Provide Additional Information 

This application completeness determination does not constitute a thorough evaluation of the 

merits of the application. Pursuant to 40 C.F.R. § 71.5(a)(2), if we determine that additional 

information is necessary to evaluate the application or to take final action on it, we may request 

such information in writing and set a reasonable deadline for a response. 

Duty to Correct/Update Application 

Pursuant to 40 C.F.R. § 71.5(b), if you find that you have omitted any relevant facts or have 

submitted incorrect information, you must promptly file corrections to your application with our 

office. In addition, if the facility becomes subject to additional regulations before EPA makes a 

draft permit for this facility available for public comment, you must provide additional 

information to us addressing the new applicable requirements. 

This completeness determination does not affect your obligation to comply with all applicable 

requirements, including the Illinois State Implementation Plan, regardless of Title V permit 

issuance. Furthermore, future changes at the facility, whether considered major or minor for 

construction permitting purposes, may necessitate updating your permit application. 

If you have any questions, please contact David Ogulei, of my staff, at (312) 353-0987.
