Clean Air Act Operating Permit Program; Petitions for Objection to State Operating Permits for the Keyspan Generation Far Rockaway Station, Motiva Enterprises, LLC, and the New York City Department of Environmental Protection North River Water Pollution Control Plant

This document announces that the EPA Administrator has addressed four citizen petitions asking EPA to object to operating permits issued to three facilities by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC). Specifically, the Administrator has partially granted and partially denied three petitions submitted by the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) to object to the state operating permits issued to the Keyspan Generation Far Rockaway Station, Motiva Enterprises, LLC, and the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP) North River Water Pollution Control Plant. Additionally, the Administrator has partially granted and partially denied a petition submitted by the NYCDEP, requesting our objection to its own operating permit for the North River plant. Pursuant to section 505(b)(2) of the Clean Air Act (Act), petitioners may seek judicial review of those portions of the petitions which EPA denied in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit. 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.
