Pamela Blakley, Chief, Air Permits

Radiation Division, EPA, Region 5, 77

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Act 

affords EPA a 45-day period to review, 

and object to as appropriate, operating 

permits proposed by state permitting 

authorities. Section 505(b)(2) of the Act 

authorizes any person to petition the 

EPA Administrator within 60 days after 

the expiration of the EPA review period 

to object to state operating permits if 

EPA has not done so. 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 November 28, 2005 and April 5, 

2006, the EPA received four petitions 

from the Illinois Attorney General, the 

Chicago Legal Clinic and the 

Environmental Law and Policy Center 

requesting that EPA object to the 

proposed Title V operating permits for 

the Midwest Generation, LCC stations. 

The petitions raise issues regarding the 

lack of compliance schedules in the 

permits. The petitioners alleged that the 

proposed permits are legally inadequate 

because: (1) Self-reporting by Midwest 

Generation based on continuous opacity 

monitoring provides evidence that all of 

the Midwest Generation facilities are in 

violation of their opacity limitations, yet 

the permits lack the required 

compliance schedules; and (2) IEPA 

failed to require compliance schedules 

to bring Midwest Generation into 

compliance with New Source Review 

requirements. 

On June 14, 2007 and June 18, 2007, 

the Administrator issued orders denying 

the petitions. The orders explain the 

reasons behind EPA’s conclusion to 

deny the petitions. 

Dated: July 5, 2007.
