ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 70
[WI118-1; FRL-7632-2]
Notice of Deficiency for Clean Air Act Operating Permit Program
in Wisconsin
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of deficiency.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to its authority under section 502(i) of the Clean
Air Act and 40 CFR 70.10(b), EPA is publishing this Notice of
Deficiency (NOD) for the State of Wisconsin's Clean Air Act title V
operating permit program. EPA has examined the facts and circumstances
associated with the State's title V operating permit program and based
on the totality of those facts and circumstances before the Agency,
hereby issues this NOD. As explained more fully below, EPA has
determined that the State's title V program does not comply with the
requirements of the Clean Air Act (Act) or with the implementing
regulations at 40 CFR part 70, in the following respects: (1) Wisconsin
has failed to demonstrate that its title V program requires owners or
operators of part 70 sources to pay fees that are sufficient to cover
the costs of the State's title V program in contravention of the
requirements of 40 CFR part 70 and the Act; (2) Wisconsin is not
adequately ensuring that its title V program funds are used solely for
title V permit program costs and, thus, is not conducting its title V
program in accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 70.9 and the Act;
(3) Wisconsin has not issued initial title V permits to all of its part
70 sources within the time allowed by the Act and 40 CFR 70.4; and (4)
Wisconsin has failed to implement properly its title V program in
several respects, including its
[[Page 10168]]
issuance of title V permits that contain terms that do not have certain
underlying applicable requirements, that do not contain all applicable
requirements, and that do not make certain requirements Federally
enforceable. Publication of this notice is a prerequisite for
withdrawal of the State's title V program approval, but EPA is not
withdrawing this program through this action.
EFFECTIVE DATE: February 22, 2004. Because this NOD is an adjudication
and not a final rule, the Administrative Procedure Act's 30-day
deferral of the effective date of a rule does not apply.

I. Background
On January 27, 1994, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
(WDNR) submitted to the Administrator for approval its proposed title V
program. EPA granted interim approval of Wisconsin's program on April
5, 1995. WDNR submitted corrections on March 28, 2001, September 5,
2001, and September 17, 2001 to address the issues identified in the
interim approval. EPA approved the corrections submitted by WDNR,
finding that they adequately addressed the conditions of the April 1995
interim approval. EPA gave Wisconsin final full approval of its title V
program effective on November 30, 2001.
In addition to submitting corrections to EPA in 2001 in accordance
with EPA's interim approval, Wisconsin submitted certain other proposed
revisions to its title V program. One of Wisconsin's proposed program
revisions concerns its fee schedule. Although EPA has not taken action
on this proposed program revision, Wisconsin has nonetheless
implemented the change, which includes elimination of the inflation
adjustment factor from its title V fee schedule. In a December 6, 2002
letter, EPA informed WDNR that EPA was reviewing the permit fee
component of Wisconsin's title V permit program, and requested that
Wisconsin provide information regarding its fees. Specifically, EPA
requested that WDNR submit a description of the State's title V fee
structure, a demonstration that Wisconsin's fee schedule resulted in
the collection of revenues sufficient to cover the title V permit
program costs, a description of the title V permit program activities
and costs, and a description of the activities funded by part 70 fees,
including personnel. Wisconsin provided some, but not all, of the
requested information in a series of three written submissions to EPA
dated March 3, 2003, April 18, 2003, and June 5, 2003.
On or about December 16, 2002, Sierra Club and a coalition of
Wisconsin environmental groups submitted to EPA their ``Petition
Seeking The U.S. EPA To Protect Wisconsin Families From Air Pollution
By Issuing The State A Notice Of Deficiency For Failing To Adequately
Administer Its Title V Permit Program'' (Sierra Club Petition). The
Sierra Club Petition raised fee issues similar to those identified by
EPA in its December 6, 2002 letter to WDNR, including, for example,
WDNR's failure to charge title V fees sufficient to cover permit
program costs, and WDNR's illegal use of title V monies to fund
portions of non-title V program and staff. The Sierra Club Petition
also raised WDNR's failure to act timely on applications for title V
permits.
EPA has enforcement discretion under the Act to determine whether
to issue a NOD under section 502(i) of the Act. See Public Citizen,
Inc. v. EPA, 343 F.3d 449, 463-65 (5th Cir. 2003). In this case, EPA
has fully examined the facts and circumstances associated with
Wisconsin's title V operating permit program and based on the totality
of those facts and circumstances determined that issuance of a NOD is
appropriate. The deficiencies associated with Wisconsin's title V
permit program are described below.
II. Description of Action
EPA is publishing this NOD to notify the State of Wisconsin and the
public that, based on the totality of facts and circumstances, EPA has
found deficiencies in the Wisconsin title V operating permit program.
Publication of this document in the Federal Register satisfies 40 CFR
70.10(b)(1), which provides that EPA shall publish in the Federal
Register a notice of any determination that a state's title V
permitting program no longer complies with the requirements of 40 CFR
part 70 and the Act. The deficiencies being noticed today are described
more fully below, but include Wisconsin's failure to demonstrate that
it requires owners or operators of part 70 sources to pay fees that are
sufficient to cover the costs of the State's title V permit program;
Wisconsin's failure to ensure that its title V program funds are used
solely for title V permit program costs; Wisconsin's failure to issue
initial title V permits to all of its part 70 sources within the time
allowed by the Act; and Wisconsin's failure to implement properly
several aspects of its title V permit program, including its issuance
of title V permits that contain terms that do not have certain
underlying applicable requirements, that do not contain all applicable
requirements, and that do not make certain requirements federally
enforceable.
A. Title V Fee Schedule
1. Inadequate Fee Schedule Demonstration
Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 7661a(b)(3) and 40 CFR 70.9(a), a state title
V program must require that the owners or operators of part 70 sources
pay annual fees, or the equivalent over some other period, that are
sufficient to cover the permit program costs, and the State must ensure
that any fee collected be used solely for title V permit program costs.
Although 42 U.S.C. 7661a(b)(3) and 40 CFR 70.9(b) require that a
state's title V permit program include a fee schedule that results in
the collection of sufficient fees to cover all title V permit program
costs, states have flexibility in developing the components of that fee
schedule. See 40 CFR 70.9(b)(3).
In one of its 2001 title V proposed program revisions, Wisconsin
disclosed that it had removed the inflation adjustment factor from its
title V fee schedule. Although EPA has not yet taken action on this
proposed program revision, Wisconsin has implemented the change. Based
on this information and consistent with 40 CFR 70.9(b)(5), EPA in
December 2002 requested from Wisconsin a detailed fee demonstration,
showing that the State's collection of fees is sufficient to cover the
title V permit program costs. As discussed more fully below, the
information subsequently provided by Wisconsin in response to EPA's
request does not demonstrate that the revised fee schedule results in
the collection of fees in an amount sufficient to cover its actual
permit program costs, as required by 42 U.S.C. 7661a(b)(3) and 40 CFR
70.9(b)(1).
a. The Costs of Wisconsin's Title V Program Are Unknown
In response to EPA's December 2002 request, WDNR specifically
declined to provide information regarding the actual costs of
implementing its title V program and, thus, Wisconsin has not shown
that the fees it is collecting are adequate to cover its actual title V
[[Page 10169]]
permit program costs. WDNR's response does assert, however, that the
State is collecting the presumptive minimum fee amount as described at
40 CFR 70.9(b)(2). As explained further below, EPA disagrees with
Wisconsin's characterization that it is meeting the presumptive minimum
fee requirements of 40 CFR 70.9(b)(2), and finds that Wisconsin has
failed to demonstrate that its title V fees are sufficient to cover
actual permit program costs.
b. Wisconsin Has Not Demonstrated That It Collects Fees Sufficient To
Fund Its Permit Program
1. Commingled Funds
EPA will presume that a state's fee schedule satisfies the
requirements of 40 CFR 70.9(b)(1), if the fee schedule meets the
requirements of 40 CFR 70.9(b)(2) (the presumptive minimum fee
requirements). 40 CFR 70.9(b)(2) provides, in pertinent part, that a
fee schedule is presumed to be sufficient to cover title V permit
program costs if it would result in the collection and retention of an
amount not less than $25 per ton, adjusted for inflation, times the
total tons of actual emissions of each regulated pollutant emitted from
each part 70 source. The regulations allow the state to exclude from
this calculation the amount per source that exceeds 4,000 tons per
year. 40 CFR 70.9(b)(2)(ii). EPA finds that WDNR has not demonstrated
that it is using a fee schedule that results in the collection of the
presumptive minimum fee amount, as required by 40 CFR 70.9(b)(2).
Specifically, the fee revenue information Wisconsin provided on
March 3, 2003, shows that the State is not distinguishing between fees
collected from sources operating under different Clean Air Act
programs. The information provided shows that Wisconsin does not
account separately for or maintain separate accounts for fees collected
under title V and other non-title V fee-based programs. Thus, the State
cannot provide an accurate picture of its title V fee collections. By
including non-title V fee revenues in its calculation of ``Emission Fee
Revenue 1992-2001,'' WDNR has overstated the amount of fees it is
collecting as part of the title V permit program. The degree of the
overstatement cannot be determined from the information provided by
Wisconsin. Accordingly, Wisconsin has not demonstrated that it is
collecting an amount equal to or in excess of the presumptive minimum
fee, as required by 40 CFR 70.9(b)(2).
2. No Adjustment for Inflation
As explained above, 40 CFR 70.9(b)(2) sets forth specific
requirements for calculating the presumptive minimum amount of fees
that must be collected to cover title V permit program costs. One of
those requirements is that states must adjust annually for inflation
the $25 figure used in the presumptive fee calculation. 40 CFR
70.9(b)(2)(i) and (b)(2)(iv).
Wisconsin's fee schedule, as currently being implemented by the
state, does not allow for adjustments to reflect inflation; it relies
instead on billing for emissions in excess of the 4,000 ton per year
amount that states may exclude from the presumptive fee calculation.
See 40 CFR 70.9(b)(2)(ii)(B). In particular, Wisconsin's fee schedule
requires the state to bill sources for each 1,000 tons of emissions
beyond the 4,000 ton per year amount provided by 40 CFR
70.9(b)(2)(ii)(B). Wisconsin claims, without appropriate record
support, that, by billing for emissions in excess of the tons to be
billed under the presumptive fee schedule, it is collecting more
revenue than it would by merely adjusting for inflation.
Wisconsin's original fee structure approved in 1995 followed the
presumptive minimum fee schedule formula described in 40 CFR
70.9(b)(2). However, the Wisconsin legislature removed the provision
for annual adjustments for inflation for fees billed after 2002. The
State bills for emission fees in arrears; its fee bills are for the
prior year's emissions. The effect of freezing the fees in 2001 is that
the amounts billed in 2001 for the year 2000 also are calculated at the
rate established in 2001. Wisconsin has not adjusted its emission fee
rates to reflect the effects of inflation since 2000. By effectively
freezing its fees at the 2000 level, Wisconsin has departed from the
presumptive fee formula set forth in 40 CFR 70.9(b)(2). EPA cannot
evaluate Wisconsin's claim that it is still collecting an amount
greater than the amount it would collect using the presumptive minimum
rate formula based on the information provided by the State, because
Wisconsin has provided no actual fee billing or collection information
for years after 2001.
Because Wisconsin has not demonstrated that it collects fees that
cover the actual permit program costs, the State's program does not
comply with the requirements of the Act and 40 CFR 70.9.
B. Wisconsin Has Not Demonstrated That It Is Adequately Administering
Its Fees and Resources
40 CFR 70.10(b) provides that states must conduct approved state
title V programs in accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR part 70
and any agreement between the state and EPA concerning operation of the
program. Information provided to EPA by Wisconsin in its 2001 title V
proposed program revision submissions and its responses to EPA's
December 6, 2002 fee demonstration request disclose significant
internal fee management deficiencies that demonstrate that WDNR is not
conducting its title V program in accordance with the requirements of
Act and 40 CFR part 70 and, therefore, is not adequately administering
its title V program.
1. Use of Title V Funds for Non-Title V Purposes
Section 502(b) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 7661a(b), and 40 CFR 70.9(a)
provide that state title V programs must ensure that all title V fees
are used solely for permit program costs. The information provided by
WDNR in response to EPA's December 6, 2002 fee demonstration request
discloses that Wisconsin is not using all title V fees for permit
program costs.
a. Use of Title V Funds for Subsidization of Employees Performing Non-
Title V Work
Wisconsin is diverting title V fees to complete non-title V work.
According to information submitted to EPA by Wisconsin, only 66 of 99
title V funded employees attributed activities on their timesheets in
fiscal year 2002 to title V. In addition, many of those 99 employees
work in areas such as mobile sources, which typically are not
associated with title V. Furthermore, title V funded 13 positions
located outside of Wisconsin's Air Division. WDNR did not provide EPA
with any information regarding the activities of these positions.
Accordingly, WDNR is not ensuring that all title V fees that it
collects are used solely for title V permit program costs, contrary to
42 U.S.C. 7661a(b) and 40 CFR 70.9(a).
b. Use of Title V Funds for Non-Title V Grant Matching
Information provided by Wisconsin establishes that when it applied
for Federal non-title V grant monies, WDNR satisfied the ``matching
funds'' requirement by using the total balance of funds in the account
that holds fees collected under title V and fees collected from non-
title V sources. Thus, Wisconsin is using title V money
[[Page 10170]]
for non-title V purposes. Accordingly, WDNR is not ensuring that all
title V fees that it collects are used solely for title V permit
program costs, contrary to 42 U.S.C. 7661a(b) and 40 CFR 70.9(a).
2. Insufficient Staffing
Section 502(b) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 7661a(b), and 40 CFR 70.4
provide that a state must have adequate personnel to ensure that the
permitting authority can carry out implementation of its title V
program. EPA has determined that Wisconsin is not adequately staffing
its title V program.
In Wisconsin's January 27, 1994, initial program submittal,
Wisconsin estimated that it would need 300 agency staff to carry out
its title V program. Wisconsin has never revised that estimate. As
discussed above, Wisconsin currently has 99 title V funded positions in
the Air Division. Further, of that number, only 66 of those employees
reported working on title V activities on their time sheets in fiscal
year 2002, and many of those 99 positions work in areas not typically
associated with title V. Finally, Wisconsin's 2004-2005 budget includes
a $1.1 million reduction in fee spending authority (not a reduction in
fees collected) and a reduction of 11.5 title V positions. Accordingly,
because it is not employing staff sufficient, by its own estimate, to
carry out its program, Wisconsin is not complying with the requirements
of the Act and 40 CFR 70.4.
C. Failure To Timely Issue Title V Permits
Section 503(c) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 7661b(c), and 40 CFR 70.4
require that a permitting authority must act on all initial title V
permit applications within three years of the effective date of the
program.
EPA granted interim approval to Wisconsin's title V program on
April 5, 1995. Pursuant to section 503 of the Act, Wisconsin was to
have completed issuance of initial title V operating permits to all of
its part 70 sources by April 5, 1998. 42 U.S.C. 7661b(c). WDNR failed
to meet this deadline and originally projected it would issue all
operating permits by December 2005. In response to EPA's December 2002
fee demonstration request, WDNR stated that, due to the new budget
reductions, it may not complete issuance of title V operating permits
to all of its part 70 sources until 2009, eleven years after they were
due. WDNR has operated its program for over eight years, but has issued
only 73% of its permits. As of January 26, 2004, Wisconsin has issued
426 of 578 title V permits.
Recently, Wisconsin indicated that it is undertaking steps to
complete issuance of title V operating permits to all of its part 70
sources by December 31, 2004. While EPA finds this intention
encouraging, EPA is issuing this notice based on the totality of facts
and circumstances currently associated with the State's title V
program.
D. Additional Program Issues
1. Expiration of NSR Permits
Each source subject to title V must have a permit to operate that
assures compliance with all applicable requirements. 42 U.S.C.
7661c(a), 40 CFR 70.1. The regulations define ``applicable
requirement'' to include, among other things, any term or condition of
any preconstruction permit issued pursuant to programs approved or
promulgated under title I, including parts C or D of the Act. 40 CFR
70.2. Generally, title V does not impose new substantive air quality
control requirements. 40 CFR 70.1(b). Therefore, to be included in a
title V permit, applicable requirements, such as permit conditions in
previously issued permits, must exist independent of the title V
permit. In addition, a state, through its Attorney General or other
applicable counsel, must provide a legal opinion demonstrating that the
state has adequate authority to carry out all aspects of the title V
program, including authority to incorporate all applicable requirements
into title V permits. 40 CFR 70.4(b)(3)(v).
Title I of the Act authorizes permitting authorities to establish
in preconstruction permits source specific terms and conditions
necessary for sources to comply with the requirements of the Prevention
of Significant Deterioration and New Source Review programs. Wisconsin
interprets its statutes, Wis. Stat 285.66(1), and regulations Wis.
Admin code NR 405.12, to provide that its preconstruction permits
expire after 18 months. Because Wisconsin's rules do not ensure these
source specific permit terms remain in effect and exist independently
of a title V permit, it allows the basis for these conditions to expire
and could cause Wisconsin to lose the authority to include such
conditions in a renewed title V permit.
Title V does not provide the authority for the establishment and
maintenance of State Implementation Plan (SIP) approved permit
requirements. Therefore, Wisconsin's interpretation that its title V
program, Wis. Stat. 285.63, provides authority to create source-
specific limitations, such as Best Available Control Technology
requirements, in title V permits, is inconsistent with EPA's
regulations. Because Wisconsin's rules do not assure that construction
permit conditions exist independently of title V permits and because
its interpretation that its title V program provides the authority to
create source specific limitations, the State's program does not meet
the program approval requirements of title V and part 70. See 66 FR
64039, 64040 (12/11/01).
2. Combined NSR and Title V Permits
States have the option of integrating their pre-construction and
title V programs. See 57 FR 32250, 32259 (July 21, 1992). 40 CFR part
70 requires that to implement an integrated permit program, the state
permitting authority must: (1) Have in place procedures that
substantially comply with all procedural requirements of part 70, 40
CFR 70.7(d)(1)(v); (2) comply with the permit content requirements in
40 CFR 70.6, including the requirement to specify the origin of and
authority for each term or condition in a title V permit, 40 CFR
70.7(d)(1)(v); and (3) ensure that the NSR conditions do not expire to
assure compliance with applicable requirements, 42 U.S.C. 7661c(a) and
40 CFR 70.1(b).
Wisconsin has been issuing combined pre-construction and title V
permits for several years. Wisconsin does not identify NSR conditions
or specify the origin and authority of the NSR conditions in combined
permits. Furthermore, Wisconsin does not have any provisions to ensure
that the NSR conditions are permanent. Wisconsin's integrated title V/
pre-construction program does not meet the requirements of 40 CFR part
70.
3. Federal Enforceability
40 CFR 70.6(b) provides that all terms and conditions in a title V
permit are federally enforceable, that is, enforceable by EPA or
citizens. However, the permitting authority can designate as not
federally enforceable any terms and conditions included in the permit
that are not required under the Act or under any of its applicable
requirements. 40 CFR 70.6(b)(2) and 40 CFR 70.2 (definition of
applicable requirement).
All terms and conditions of a permit issued pursuant to a program
approved into a state's SIP are federally enforceable. 40 CFR 52.23.
Wisconsin, however, does not identify all terms and conditions of its
construction permit as federally enforceable. Instead, Wisconsin
currently identifies permit requirements in title V permits originating
from Wisconsin's non-SIP
[[Page 10171]]
toxics program (Wis. Admin. Code NR 445) as enforceable by the state
only, even when the requirements were established in a permit issued
pursuant to a SIP-approved program. Wisconsin's failure to include the
terms established in a permit issued pursuant to a SIP-approved program
into the federally enforceable side of its title V permits is contrary
to 40 CFR 70.6.
4. Insignificant Emission Unit Requirements
40 CFR 70.5(c) authorizes EPA to approve as part of a state program
a list of insignificant activities and emission levels which need not
be included in the permit application. An application may not omit,
however, information needed to determine the applicability of, or to
impose, any applicable requirement, or to evaluate the fee amount
required under the EPA approved schedule. Moreover, nothing in part 70
authorizes a state to exempt insignificant emission units (IEUs) from
the permit content requirements of 40 CFR 70.6. Furthermore, the July
21, 1992 preamble to the part 70 regulations provides that the IEU
exemption does not apply to permit content. 57 FR 32273 (July 21,
1992).
Wisconsin's regulations contain criteria for sources to identify
IEUs in their applications, (Wis. Admin. Code NR 407), and require that
permit applications contain information necessary to determine the
applicability of, or to impose, any applicable requirement. Although
Wisconsin's regulations are consistent with EPA's regulations at 40 CFR
part 70, the State is not properly implementing its regulations because
it is not including these applicable requirements in its title V
permits. Therefore, Wisconsin's implementation of its regulations is
inconsistent with part 70.
III. Federal Oversight and Sanctions
40 CFR 70.10(b) and (c) provide that EPA may withdraw a part 70
program approval, in whole or in part, whenever the approved program no
longer complies with the requirements of part 70, EPA has notified the
state of the noncompliance, and the permitting authority fails to take
corrective action. 40 CFR 70.10(c)(1) lists a number of potential bases
for program withdrawal, including inadequate fee collection, failure to
comply with the requirements of part 70 in administering the program,
and failure to timely issue permits.
40 CFR 70.10(b), which sets forth the procedures for program
withdrawal, requires as a prerequisite to withdrawal that the EPA
Administrator notify the permitting authority of any finding of
deficiency by publishing a notice in the Federal Register. Today's
notice satisfies this requirement and constitutes a finding of program
deficiency. If Wisconsin has not taken ``significant action to assure
adequate administration and enforcement of the program'' within 90 days
after issuance of this notice of deficiency, EPA may, among other
things, withdraw approval of the program using procedures consistent
with 40 CFR 70.4(e) and/or promulgate, administer, and enforce a
Federal title V program. See 40 CFR 70.10(b)(2). Additionally, 40 CFR
70.10(b)(3) provides that if the state has not corrected the deficiency
within 18 months after the date of the finding of deficiency and
issuance of the NOD, then the state would be subject to the sanctions
under section 179(b) of the Act, in accordance with section 179(a) of
the Act, 18 months after that notice. Upon EPA action, the sanctions
will go into effect unless the State has corrected the deficiencies
identified in this notice within 18 months after signature of this
notice.\1\ These sanctions would be applied in the same manner, and
subject to the same deadlines and other conditions as are applicable in
the case of a determination, disapproval, or finding under section
179(a) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Section 179(a) provides that unless such deficiency has been
corrected within 18 months after the finding, one of the sanctions
in section 179(b) of the Act shall apply as selected by the
Administrator. If the Administrator has selected one of the
sanctions and the deficiency has not been corrected within 6 months
thereafter, then sanctions under both sections 179(b)(1) and
179(b)(2) shall apply until the Administrator determines that the
state has come into compliance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition, 40 CFR 70.10(b)(4) provides that, if the state has not
corrected the deficiency within 18 months after the date of the finding
of deficiency, EPA will promulgate, administer, and enforce a whole or
partial program within 2 years of the date of the finding.
This document is not a proposal to withdraw Wisconsin's title V
program. Consistent with 40 CFR 70.10(b)(2), EPA will wait at least 90
days, at which point it will assess whether the state has taken
significant action to correct the deficiencies outlined in this notice.
See 40 CFR 70.10(b)(2) (providing that 90 days after issuance of NOD,
EPA may take certain actions).
IV. Administrative Requirements
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Act, petitions for judicial review
of today's action may be filed with the United States Court of Appeals
for the appropriate circuit within 60 days of March 4, 2004.
