August 09, 2004
Dear Mr.Carr:
Enclosed is Air Quality Permit No.491l-033-0030-V-02-0 issued to Vogtle Electric Generating Plant to operate a nuclear-powered electrical generating plant at 7821 River Road, Waynesboro, Georgia 30830 (Burke County).This Permit is for the operation of this facility under Title V of the Clean Air Act and is not transferable.
The Permittee may not make any changes to equipment or processes that are not allowed under the Permit.Violation of any Permit condition that is not indicated to be"State Only Enforceable" is a violation under Title V of the Clean Air Act and is subject to enforcement by the Division and the US EPA.The enclosed Title V Permit expires five (5)years from its effective date.ThePermitshall become null and void after the expiration date unless a timely and complete renewal application has been submitted to the Division at least six (6)months, but no more than eighteen (18)months prior to the expiration date of the Permit.If changes or modifications not allowed by the Permit need to be made to any process or equipment at the facility, an electronic Title V application detailing the changes/modifications must be submitted well in advance of any critical date involved, so that adequate time will be available for review, discussion, and revision where necessary.
The application is available at the Air Protection Branch's web site at www.air.dnr.state.ga.us/airpermitunder"Title V Electronic Application Updates and Information" from the drop-down menu.To receive future information regarding Georgia's Title V permit program, please go to the website and choose"Listservers" from the drop-down menu for information on how to join the Title V Email List.The following types of correspondence should be sent to the Division personnel indicated:
