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.
