NOTICE OF COMMENT PERIOD FOR DRAFT/ PROPOSED
OPERATING PERMIT RENEWAL
Title V of the Federal
Clean Air Act and the
state Air Pollution Control
Act requires that all major
sources and certain minor
sources have a permit to
operate which states all
requirements (e.g.
emission limitations,
monitoring requirements, etc.) established by
regulations promulgated
under the aforementioned
programs. The Division
of Air Quality (DAQ)
has determined that
the draft/proposed
permit renewal referenced
herein meets this
requirement.
The DAQ is providing
notice to the general
public of its preliminary
determination to issue an
operating permit renewal
to the following company
for operation of the
referenced Compressor
Station:
Antero Midstream LLC
Middlebourne III
Compressor Station
Plant ID No.: 095-00074
Wick Road
Wick, WV 26149
This notice solicits
comments from the public
and affected state(s)
concerning the above
preliminary determination
and provides an
opportunity for such
parties to review the basis
for the proposed approval
and the “draft” permit renewal. This notice
also solicits comments
from the U.S. EPA
concerning the same
preliminary determination
and provides an
opportunity for the U.S.
EPA to concurrently
review the basis for
the proposed approval as
a “proposed” permit.
All written comments
submitted by the public
and affected state(s)
pursuant to this notice
must be received by the
DAQ within thirty (30) days of the date of
publication of this notice.
Under concurrent review, written comments
submitted by the U.S. EPA must be received
by the DAQ within
forty-five (45) days from
the date of publication of
this notice or from the date
the U.S. EPA receives this
draft/proposed permit
renewal, whichever is
later. In the event the
30th/45th day is a Satu
day, Sunday, or legal hol
day, the comment period
will be extended until 5:00
p.m. on the following reg
larly scheduled business
day. The public shall have 135 days from the
date of publication of this
notice to file petitions for
concurrently reviewed pe
mits. Upon notice by the
U.S. EPA to the DAQ, pr
or to the end of the 45 day
notice period, the U.S.
EPA may choose to hold
the 30 day comment
period on the draft permit
and the 45 day comment
period on the proposed
permit sequentially.
During the public
comment period any
interested person may
submit written comments
on the draft permit and, if
no public hearing has
been scheduled, may
request a public hearing. A request for a public
hearing shall be in writing
and shall state the nature
of the issues proposed to
be raised in the hearing. The Director of the DAQ
shall grant such a request
for a hearing if she co
cludes that a public
hearing is appropriate. Any public hearing shall
be held in the general
area in which the facility is
located, after 30 day
notice is given. The DAQ
will consider all written
comments prior to final
action on the permit.
