NOTICE OF COMMENT PERIOD FOR
DRAFT/PROPOSED OPERATING PERMIT
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 referenced
herein meets this requirement.
The DAQ is providing notice to the general public of its
preliminary determination to issue an operating permit
to the following company for operation of the referenced
compressor station:
Antero Midstream LLC
Grays Peak Compressor Station
Plant ID No.: 103-00166
2106 McKimmie Ridge Road
Pine Grove, WV 26419
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. 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, whichever
is later. In the event the 30th/45th day is a Saturday,
Sunday, or legal holiday, the comment period will be
extended until 5:00 p.m. on the following regularly
scheduled business day. The public shall have 135
days from the date of publication of this notice to file
petitions for concurrently reviewed permits. Upon notice
by the U.S. EPA to the DAQ, prior 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 concludes 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.
