Abstract

The United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9 (EPA) provides notice of and requests public comment on the EPA’s proposed action relating to the draft synthetic minor New Source Review (NSR) permit for the NTEC Energy Generation Plant, LLC (“Source”). The Source will be located at Ramp 7 Road, Waterflow, New Mexico 87416, within the Navajo Nation reservation on the reclaimed Navajo Mine. The EPA is proposing to issue this synthetic minor NSR permit to Navajo Transitional Energy Company, LLC (NTEC), 385 Interlocken Crescent #400, Broomfield, Colorado 80021. The contact for the Source is Carolyn Blackaller, (720) 202-1426. This draft permit, if finalized, will authorize the construction and operation of a new 742-megawatt (MW) natural gas-fired power plant, consistent with the minor NSR regulations for Indian country (40 CFR 49.151-165). The draft permit prepared by the EPA, the technical support document for the draft permit, and all supporting materials are available for review by the public through this online docket.
