THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE XXXX Sample Clauses

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE XXXX. XxXXX FINDING AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION (NOV) On September 27, 2001, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a Finding and Notice of Violation (NOV) against Xxxx-XxXxx Chemical L.L.C. ("KMC"), for violations at its inorganic chemical manufacturing facility in Henderson, Nevada. The NOV found violations of the Clean Air Act's New Source Review (NSR) program going back to May 1994. The penalties levied of $25,000.00 to $27,500 per day go back to 1994 for each violation and are subject to administrative mitigation. The EPA alleged that Xxxx-XxXxx violated EPA approved Clean Air Act State Implementation Plan (SIP) rule sections from the 1979 SIP (amended in 1981/82). The NOV cited two instances where the Xxxxx County Health District's Air Quality Division (the predecessor to DAQM) issued permits to Xxxx-XxXxx in contradiction to the approved SIP regulations. The NOV acknowledges that local rules approved as part of the approved SIP on May 11, 1999 were vacated and remanded in Hall v. EPA, No. 99-70853, 263 F.3d 926 superseded by 273 F.3d 1146 (9th Cir. 2001). This NOV directly contradicts the Department of Air Quality Management's contention that it may issue NSR permits based on local or unapproved SIP rules. There is a strong message in the NOV that sources of air pollution that rely upon permits issued by authority of unapproved SIP regulations are at substantial risk. The NOV notes that the Clean Air Act provides for criminal penalties, imprisonment, or both for persons who knowingly violate any federal regulation or permit requirement more than 30 days after the date of issuance of a Notice of Violation. A copy of the Xxxx-XxXxx NOV may be found on the NEC Web site at xxx.xxxxxx.xxx . The following is a partial list of Las Vegas Valley sources that received findings and notices of violation from the EPA. The fact that the EPA had to levy NOVs after APCD or AQD granted permits to these sources does not add to DAQM's enforcement credibility. Nevada Cogeneration, #1 and #2, NOx Titanium Metals (Henderson), SO2 Xxxxx Bathware, VOC Xxxxx Cargo, PM10 Las Vegas Paving, PM10 Nevada Ready Mix, PM10 Southern Nevada Paving, PM10 Capital Cabinets, VOC J.R. Simplot Silica, SO2 CalnevPipeline, VOC Chemical Lime Co., PM10, SO2, NOx Xxxx-XxXxx Chemical, CO Environmental Technologies of Nevada, Inc., PM10 Regulator negligence and malfeasance has left DAQM citizens without the protections ordinarily afforded by approved SIPs.
