Notice Concerning Amendment to Kansas Air Quality Construction Permit

Notice is hereby given that the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) is soliciting comments regarding the amendment of a previously issued air quality construction permit. Coffeyville Resources Refining & Marketing, LLC, 400 N. Linden St., Coffeyville, KS 67337, owns and operates the stationary source located at 400 N. Linden St., Coffeyville, Montgomery County, KS 67337. Certain requirements were found to no longer be appropriate in the construction permit dated October 14, 2022. These requirements are being modified.

A copy of the modification is available for public inspection, from the date of publication, during normal business hours, at the KDHE, Bureau of Air (BOA), 1000 SW Jackson, Suite 310, Topeka, KS 66612-1366, and at the Southeast District Office, 308 W. 14th St., Chanute, KS 66720. To obtain or review the modification, contact Stephen Bartels, 785-296-6421, at the central office of the KDHE, and to review the proposed permit only, contact Ryan Jack, 620-860-7235, at the Southeast District Office. The standard departmental cost will be assessed for any copies requested.

Please direct written comments or questions regarding the proposed modification to Stephen Bartels, KDHE, BOA, 1000 SW Jackson, Suite 310, Topeka, KS 66612-1366. In order to be considered in formulating a final permit decision, written comments must be received no later than the 12:00 p.m. Monday, August 21, 2023.

A person may request a public hearing be held on the proposed modification. The request for a public hearing shall be in writing and set forth the basis for the request. The written request must be submitted to Stephen Bartels, KDHE, BOA, 1000 SW Jackson, Suite 310, Topeka, KS 66612-1366, no later than 12:00 p.m. Monday, August 21, 2023, in order for the Secretary of Health and Environment to consider the request.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has a 45-day review period, which will start concurrently with the public comment period, within which to object to the proposed permit. If the EPA has not objected in writing to the issuance of the permit within the 45-day review period, any person may petition the administrator of the EPA to review the permit. The 60-day public petition period will directly follow the EPA’s 45-day review period. Interested parties may contact KDHE to determine if the EPA’s 45-day review period has been waived.

Any such petition shall be based only on objections to the permit that were raised with reasonable specificity during the public comment period provided for in this notice, unless the petitioner demonstrates that it was impracticable to raise such objections within such period, or unless the grounds for such objection arose after such period. Contact Keith Johnson, U.S. EPA, Region 7, Air Permitting and Compliance Branch, 11201 Renner Blvd., Lenexa, KS 66219, 913-551-7960, to determine when the 45-day EPA review period ends and the 60-day petition period commences.
