### Dear Mr. Emmerson,

Citizens for Clean Air received a public notice reg a rding the construction of a C ogeneration plant at your An d erson facility.
Citizens for Clean Air participated in the Knauf Fi b erglass PSD permitting process

. The Environmental Appeals b o ard of the EPA remanded Knauf ' s permit back to the Shasta C ounty Air Quality Management Board because of it's lack of compliance with Enviro n mental Justice guidelines. These guidelines call f or the permitting process i n EJ communities to 'go abo v e and beyond usual protocol to identify, involve and t o help potentially effected communities from the v e ry beginning of a project.” The public notice stat e d that Sierra Pacific's exis t ing PSD permit needs a 'major m odification' in order to be in compliance once a new p lant is built. Clearly this p roposed building is a major po l luter and anything less tha n a new PSD permit for this pl a nt is highly inadequate and in flagrant violation of t he intent of Executive Orde r #12898.

Sincerely,

Heidi Strand, Co-chair Citizens for Clean Air Box 1544, City of Shasta Lake, C A 960 19 P a g e 2 o f 3
