impracticable to raise these issues during the comment period or the grounds for the issues arose after this period. Pursuant to sections 307b and 505b2 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 document appears in the Federal Register.
State Operating Permit for Hunter Power Plant Emery County, Utah EPA received petitions from the Sierra Club, requesting that EPA object to the 2016 Permit and the 2020 Permit for the Hunter Power Plant. Among other things, the Sierra Club claims that the 2016 and 2020 Permits are deficient because they do not include Prevention of Significant Deterioration PSD
permitting requirements. More specifically, the Sierra Club asserts that Best Achievable Control Technology requirements as well as terms and conditions necessary to adequately protect national ambient air quality standards and PSD increments are required. EPA denied the 2016 petition on October 16, 2017; however, the Sierra Club sought judicial review of a portion of the 2017 Order in the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. On July 2, 2020, the Tenth Circuit issued a decision vacating and remanding the 2017 Order. EPAs January 13, 2021 Order responds to the Tenth Circuits decision, replaces the vacated portion of EPAs 2017 Order, and separately responds to the 2020
Petition.
On January 13, 2021, the Administrator issued an Order denying the petitions, but directing UDAQ to reopen the 2020 Permit for cause.
State Operating Permit for Coyote Station Power Plant Mercer County, North Dakota EPA received petitions from the Voigts, requesting that EPA object to the title V permit for the Coyote Station Power Plant. The Voigts allege that the permit fails to ensure compliance with applicable requirements under the CAA
in that: 1 The Coyote Station Power Plant and the nearby Coyote Creek Mine should be considered a single source for title V and New Source Review preconstruction permitting purposes;
and 2 the permit fails to include appropriate CAA requirements for the mine, the mines coal processing plant, and the power plant. On January 15, 2021, the Administrator issued an Order denying the petition.
