Public Notice Inviting Written Public Comment for Feather River Energy Center

 

Notice is hereby given that the Air Pollution Control Officer (APCO) of the Feather River Air Quality Management District (District) invites written public comments on the proposed renewal of the Federal Operating Permit for the following electricity generating facility:

 

                                                      Feather River Energy Center

                                                                    202 Burns Drive

                                                                Yuba City, CA 95991

 

Major air pollution sources are required to obtain operating permits under Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, the Federal Operating Permit Program, and the District's Regulation X, Rule 10.3: Federal Operating Permits. The proposed renewal of the Federal Operating Permit summarizes all air-related requirements that apply to each source of emissions at the facility. This permit was previously issued on April 29, 2013, and there are no proposed changes in emissions or activities. Rule 10.3 requires that the facility apply to renew the permit every five years. 

 

The APCO invites written comments on the permit renewal.  Comments must be received by February 27, 2026.  Any interested person may also request a public hearing for this permit by submitting a request in writing to the District.  The District will hold a public hearing if there is evidence that the proposed permit is not correct or is not adequate to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, and a hearing will likely provide additional information that will affect the drafting and/or issuance of the permit.  Please send written comments to:

Christopher D. Brown AICP, Air Pollution Control Officer, FRAQMD, 541 Washington Ave, Yuba City, CA 95991.

 

The proposed Federal Operating Permit, District analysis, and permit application are available for public inspection at the District office at the above address.  The proposed Federal Operating Permit is also available at www.fraqmd.org. 

 

For additional information, please contact Robin Demma, Air Quality Engineer, at (530) 634 7659 ext. 208.
