Clean Air Act Operating Permit 

Program; Petition for Objection to 

State Operating Permit for Wisconsin 

Public Service Corporation—JP 

Pulliam Plant 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of final order on petition 

to object to Clean Air Act operating 

permit. 

SUMMARY: This document announces 

that the EPA Administrator has 

responded to a petition asking EPA to 

object to a Clean Air Act (Act) operating 

permit issued by the Wisconsin 

Department of Natural Resources. 

Specifically, the Administrator denied 

the petition submitted by David Bender 

of McGillivray Westerberg and Bender, 

LLC, on behalf of the Sierra Club, to 

object to the operating permit for 

Wisconsin Public Service Corporation— 

JP Pulliam Plant. 

Pursuant to section 505(b)(2) of the 

Act, a petitioner may seek judicial 

review in the United States Court of 

Appeals for the appropriate circuit of 

those portions of the petition which 

EPA denied. Any petition for review 

shall be filed within 60 days from the 

date this notice appears in the Federal 

Register, pursuant to section 307 of the 

Act. 

ADDRESSES: You may review a copy of 

the final order, the petition, and other 

supporting information at the EPA 

Region 5 Office, 77 West Jackson 

Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604. If 

you wish to examine these documents, 

you should make an appointment at 

least 24 hours before visiting day. 

Additionally, the final order for the JP 

Pulliam Plant petition is available 

electronically at: http://www.epa.gov/

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Genevieve Damico, Chief, Air Permits 

Section, Air Programs Branch, Air and 

Radiation Division, EPA, Region 5, 77 

West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, 

Illinois 60604, telephone (312) 353– 

4761. 

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. A petition 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 issues during the 

comment period, or the grounds for the 

issues arose after this period. 

On October 2, 2012, David Bender of 

McGillivray Westerberg & Bender LLC, 

submitted a petition to EPA on behalf of 

the Sierra Club, requesting that EPA 

object to the Title V operating permit for 

the Wisconsin Public Service 

Corporation—JP Pulliam Plant. The 

petition raised issues regarding: (1) the 

alleged failure to include heat input 

limits from permits issued in 1987 and 

1988 and/or reflect Prevention of 

Significant Deterioration/Nonattainment 

New Source Review requirements; and 

(2) the sufficiency of particulate matter 

monitoring for boilers B24—B27. 

On January 7, 2013, the Administrator 

issued an order denying the petition. 

The order explains the reasons behind 

EPA’s conclusions.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[FRL–9774–5] 

Notice of Issuance of Prevention of 

Significant Deterioration Modification 

and Part 71 Operating Permit Renewal 

to NRG Backup Generation Services 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces that on 

November 26, 2012, EPA issued a 

Modification to a Prevention of 

Significant Deterioration (PSD) permit 

to NRG Backup Generation Services. 

NRG Backup Generation Services owns 

and operates four diesel-fired generators 

for Treasure Island Resort and Casino on 

land held in trust for the Prairie Island 

Indian Community in Red Wing, 

Minnesota. The modified PSD permit 

changes the required interval of nitrogen 

oxide performance testing for the four 

engines from every three years to every 

five years. In a separate action on 

November 26, 2012, EPA issued a title 

V permit to operate renewal to NRG 

Backup Generation Services pursuant to 

title V of the Clean Air Act. This permit 

authorizes NRG Backup Generation 

Services to operate the four diesel-fired 

generators for peak load management 

and backup power at the casino. 

DATES: During the public comment 

period, which ended on October 19, 

2012, EPA received a comment on the 

modified draft PSD permit and draft 

title V permit. Therefore, in accordance 

with 40 CFR 124.15(b) and 71.11(i)(2), 

both permits became effective on 

December 26, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: The final signed permits are 

available for public inspection online at 

http://yosemite.epa.gov/r5/r5ard.nsf/ 

Tribal+Permits!OpenView, or during 

normal business hours at the following 

address: U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency, Region 5, Air and Radiation 

Division, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, 

Chicago, Illinois, 60604. We recommend 

that you telephone Michael Langman, 

Environmental Scientist, at (312) 886– 

6867 before visiting the Region 5 office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

section provides supplemental 

information by answering the following 

questions: 

A. What is the background information? 

B. What is the purpose of this notice? 

A. What is the background 

information? 

NRG Backup Generation Services, 

formerly Energy Alternatives, Inc., owns 

and operates four diesel-fired generators 

for Treasure Island Resort and Casino in 

Red Wing, Minnesota. All four 

generators are located on land held in 

trust for the Prairie Island Indian 

Community. The generators are used for 

peak load management and backup 

power at the casino. 

On August 14, 2007, Energy 

Alternatives, Inc. submitted to EPA an 

application to change the nitrogen oxide 

performance testing interval from every 

three years to every five years. EPA 

approved this change based on previous 

performance testing results. 

In October 2008, Energy Alternatives, 

Inc. submitted an application to renew 

its title V permit. 

EPA first made available for public 

comment a draft Federal title V permit 

during a public comment period that 

ended on May 10, 2010. On May 10, 

2010, EPA received a comment from 

Energy Alternatives, Inc. explaining that 

the requested change to the nitrogen 

oxide performance testing interval was 

not included in the title V permit. Since 

the testing interval was established in a 

PSD permit and since title V permits 

cannot change PSD requirements, a 

modification to the PSD permit was 

required. 

On September 19, 2012, EPA made 

available for public comment a draft 

Federal PSD permit modification, 

Permit No. PSD–PI–2704900084–2012– 

02, which included the nitrogen oxide 

testing interval requested by Energy 

Alternatives. On the same day, EPA 

made available for public comment a 

draft Federal title V permit to operate, 

Permit No. V–PI–2704900084–2012–10. 

This title V permit incorporated all 

applicable air quality requirements for 

the four diesel-fired, emergency and 

peak load sharing generators Energy 

Alternatives owned and operated at 

Treasure Island Resort and Casino, 

including the monitoring necessary to 

ensure compliance with the 

requirements of the permit. In 

accordance with the requirements of 40 

CFR 124.10(b)(1) and 71.11(d), EPA 

provided the public with 30 days to 

comment on both draft permits. 

During the public comment period, 

EPA received one comment from NRG 

Backup Generation Services notifying 

EPA that ownership of the four dieselfired engines changed from Energy 

Alternatives, Inc. to NRG Backup 

Generation Services. EPA finalized both 

permits and provided copies to the 

applicant pursuant to 40 CFR 124.15(b) 

and 71.11(i). 

EPA is not aware of any outstanding 

enforcement actions against NRG 

Backup Generation Services and 

believes the issuance of these permits is 

non-controversial. 

B. What is the purpose of this notice? 

EPA is notifying the public of the 

issuance of the PSD permit modification 

and title V operating permit to NRG 

Backup Generation Services on 

November 26, 2012. Since EPA received 

a comment on the draft PSD permit 

modification and the draft title V 

permit, both permits became effective 

on December 26, 2012, pursuant to 40 

CFR 124.15(b) and 71.11(i)(2). 

Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.
