Petitions to EPA for  Part 70/Title V Permit Objections

After the 45-day review period for EPA has expired, citizens may petition EPA to object to a Part 70/ Title V permit.  The EPA will only consider objections to the federally enforceable parts of the Part 70 Permit that have been raised during the 30-day citizen review period, unless: (1) the petitioner demonstrates that it was impractical to raise the objection during the public comment period, or (2) the grounds for the objection arose after the close of the public comment period.  The petition must be submitted to EPA  within 60 days after the EPA 45-day review period expires. If EPA agrees with the petition, the Department will reopen, revise, or revoke the permit.
