Public Notice – Part 70 Operating Permit

Application for a Part 70 Operating Permit (Title V Permit) has been filed with the Metro Public Health Department, Air Pollution Control Division, for the facility located at:

Vanderbilt University
110 21st Avenue South
Nashville, Tennessee

The application has been submitted to renew the Part 70 Operating Permit for the facility and to add one small natural gas-fired boiler to the permit. This application is subject to the provisions of Section 13-5(h) of Regulation No. 13, "Part 70 Operating Permit Program", which require public notification and a 30-day public comment period prior to the issuance of any Part 70 Operating Permit. Copies of the application and draft permit are on file for public review at the Metro Public Health Department, Pollution Control Division, 2500 Charlotte Avenue, Nashville, Tennessee. For additional information, contact John Finke, Pollution Control Division, 615-340-5653. Emailed comments may be directed to [email protected].

All public comments must be received in the Pollution Control office within 30 days of the date of this notice. A public hearing will be held prior to the issuance of any Part 70 Operating Permit if such a hearing is requested in writing during the public comment period. Any such hearings will be held in accordance with the requirements of Section 13-5(h)(1) of Regulation No. 13. EPA has agreed to perform its 45-day review concurrently with the public notice period. Although EPA's 45-day review period will be performed concurrently with the public comment period, the deadline for submitting a citizen petition to object to the EPA administrator will be determined as if EPA's 45-day review period is performed after the public comment period has ended. The status regarding EPA's 45-day review of this project and the deadline for submitting a citizen petition can be found at the following website: Permit Hub | US EPA. If comments are received during the 30-day public comment period, EPA's 45-day review period will restart once all comments have been addressed. Requests for ADA accommodation should be directed to Mr. Todd Baker at 615-340-0535.
