The Division of Air Resource Management announces a hearing to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME: January 22, 2014, 1:00 p.m.

PLACE: Department of Environmental Protection, Bob Martinez Center, 2600 Blairstone Road, Room 195, Tallahassee, Florida

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: Pursuant to 40 C.F.R. 60.23, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) announces the opportunity to offer comments and participate in a public hearing, if requested, on a proposed submission of Florida’s State Plan to EPA under the Clean Air Act. Specifically, DEP is proposing to submit its State Plan so that Florida may enforce the Emission Guidelines promulgated by EPA on February 7, 2013, that set emissions limitations for Commercial/Industrial Solid Waste Incinerators (CISWIs). The proposed State Plan adopts the model rules contained in 40 C.F.R. 60, Subpart DDDD and contains information on what facilities are subject to regulation under this subpart. Once the State Plan is approved by EPA, DEP will be the agency tasked with ensuring that CISWI facilities are in compliance with the applicable emissions limitations. A public hearing will be held, if requested, at the date, time, and place given above. It is not necessary that the hearing be held or attended in order for persons to comment on DEP’s proposed State Plan. Any comments or requests for a public hearing must be submitted by letter or email to Marnie Brynes, Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Air Resource Management, 2600 Blairstone Road, MS 5500, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400, or [e-mail], and received no later than January 21, 2014. If no request for a public hearing is received, the hearing will be cancelled, and notice of the cancellation will be posted at the following website: http://sharepoint.dep.state.fl.us/PublicNotices/default.aspx. Persons may also contact Ms. Brynes at [phone] to find out if the hearing has been cancelled.
