Jersey conducted an inspection of EPAs Edison facility and found several state law violations related to its boilers and emergency generators. EPA worked with New Jersey to bring the boilers and generators back into full compliance by the end of 2020.

penalty is here proposed and is ready for public notice and comment.

II. Additional Information About the Proposed Settlement Agreement In November 2019, New Jersey conducted an inspection of EPAs Edison facility and found several state law violations regarding EPAs boilers and emergency generators.1 Based on this inspection, and further information provided by EPA, New Jersey alleged the following types of violations:
Failure to seek new general permits when the boilers and emergency generators were replaced;
Operating the boilers and emergency generators with expired general permits;
Operating one emergency generator on five bad air days;
Operating one boiler on one bad air day; and Improper tune-ups and/or tune-up report submission for two boilers.
EPA worked with New Jersey to bring the boilers and generators back into full compliance by the end of 2020. These steps included: 1 Obtaining new general permits, and setting up an internal calendar to better track when to seek permit renewals; 2 changing a generator setting to require that generator testing be started manually, to avoid automatic startup on bad air days;
3 creating and revising a log sheet to ensure that staff check on bad air day status prior to testing the emergency generators; 4 conducting the 2020
tune-up using an outside contractor, with EPA staff attending for training purposes; and 5 submitting the 2020
tune-up reports via a New Jersey online reporting system.
1 While the proposed settlement agreement cites to state law violations, current or prior versions of the cited provisions were also approved into New Jerseys federally enforceable State Implementation Plan under the relevant provisions of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.
