objecting to the proposed Clean Air Act (CAA) title V operating permit 
issued to PacifiCorp Energy. The Order responds to the April 11, 2016 
petition objecting to the proposed title V operating permit #1500101002 
(Hunter Permit) issued by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CAA affords the 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 the EPA's 45-day review period if the 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. Pursuant to sections 307(b) and 505(b)(2) of the Act, a 
petition for judicial review of those portions 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 appears in the Federal Register.
    The EPA received a petition from the Petitioner, requesting that 
the EPA object to the proposed Hunter Permit for the Hunter Power 
Plant. The petitioner alleges that the Hunter Permit fails to ensure 
compliance with applicable requirements under the CAA in that: (1) The 
permit fails to include Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) 
requirements; (2) the permit includes Plantwide Applicability Limits 
that are unlawful and invalid; (3) the permit fails to include 
unpermitted Approval Order Modifications in 2010, including Best 
Achievable Control Technology (BACT) requirements; (4) the permit fails 
to include 2010 PSD requirements, including BACT, for oxides of 
nitrogen; and (5) UDAQ failed to respond to the Petitioner's comments.
    On October 16, 2017, the Administrator issued an Order denying the 
petition. The Order explains the EPA's basis for denying the petition.

    Dated: November 27, 2017.
Douglas H. Benevento,
Regional Administrator, Region 8.
