DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

The Division of Air Resource Management announces a hearing to which all persons are invited.
DATE AND TIME: April 2, 2013, 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 CFR 51.102, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) announces an opportunity to offer comments or request a public hearing on an amendment to the proposed lead (Pb) nonattainment area plan, originally submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on June 29, 2012, for the Pb nonattainment area located in Hillsborough County that is centered on a lead recycling facility. The previously submitted nonattainment plan incorporated the facility’s 2009 federally enforceable air construction permit that provided for the complete modernization of the facility and the implementation of a variety of top level controls and emission limits associated with lead recycling. The construction permit was modified in 2012 to better ensure compliance with the 2012 National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart X – Secondary Lead Smelting. DEP is now amending its previously submitted proposed nonattainment plan to incorporate the modifications provided for in the 2012 construction permit and to include a base year Pb emissions inventory and contingency measures. 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 submittal to EPA. Any request for a public hearing must be submitted by letter or e-mail to Marnie Brynes, Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Air Resource Management, 2600 Blairstone Road, MS #5500, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400, [e-mail] by March 25, 2013. Any comments must be submitted by letter or e-mail to Will Sexton at the above address or [e-mail], with a copy to Ms. Brynes, by March 25, 2013. 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.
