activities of the Foundation and assures

education goals and policies of the 

Environmental Protection Agency and

Act. The membership of the Board, to 

the extent practicable, represents

[Petition IV–2010–9; FRL–9700–9] 

Clean Air Act Operating Permit 

Program; Petition for Objection to 

State Operating Permit for Kentucky 

Syngas, LLC; Muhlenberg 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) the EPA Administrator signed an 

Order, dated June 22, 2012, partially 

granting and partially denying a petition 

to object to a CAA merged prevention of 

significant deterioration and title V 

operating permit issued by the Kentucky 

Division for Air Quality (KDAQ) to 

Kentucky Syngas, LLC (KSG) for its 

facility located near Central City in 

Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. This 

Order constitutes a final action on the 

petition submitted by Environmental 

Policy & Law Center on behalf of Sierra 

Club and Valley Watch (Petitioners) and 

received by EPA on October 27, 2010. A 

petition for judicial review of those 

parts of the Order that deny issues in 

the petition may be filed in the United 

States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit within 60 days from 

the date this notice is published in the 

Federal Register. 

DATES: September 17, 2012. 

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/region07/ 

air/title5/petitiondb/petitions/ 

kentuckysyngas_response2010.pdf. 

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 a petition 

regarding KSG (received by EPA on 

October 27, 2010), requesting that EPA 

object to the CAA title V operating 

permit (#V–09–001). Petitioners alleged 

that the permit was not consistent with 

the CAA because: (1) KDAQ failed to 

provide an opportunity for meaningful 

public participation; (2) KDAQ failed to 

consider and respond to comments on 

alternatives; (3) KDAQ’s decision to 

permit the KSG facility and the 

Thoroughbred Mine separately was 

arbitrary and capricious; (4) the best 

available control technology (BACT) 

analyses omitted consideration of clean 

fuels and processes; (5) emissions 

estimates from the flare and BACT for 

the flare were in error; (6) the permit 

failed to meet certain requirements for 

hazardous air pollutants; (7) KDAQ 

failed to accurately account for all 

emissions of volatile organic 

compounds in the potential-to-emit 

calculation; (8) the permit’s monitoring 

requirements for a variety of different 

units and pollutants were inadequate; 

(9) KSG failed to accurately estimate, 

sufficiently control and adequately 

model particulate matter; (10) KDAQ 

failed to demonstrate that the proposed 

facility will not cause or contribute to 

violations of the ozone national ambient 

air quality standard; and (11) the permit 

lacked the necessary PM2.5 limit. 

On June 22, 2012, the Administrator 

issued an Order partially granting and 

partially denying the petition. The 

Order explains EPA’s rationale for 

partially granting and partially denying 

the petition. 

Dated: July 6, 2012.

Deputy Regional Administrator. Region 4.
