Tribe Authorized to Build and Operate
The EPA issued Tribal Minor New Source Review Permit No. C-2026-2 authorizing the construction and operation of equipment at the Jamul Casino Resort in Jamul, California. The permit was issued under the Clean Air Act and the EPA's Tribal Minor NSR Program (40 CFR 49.151 through 49.164).
60-Day Judicial Review Window
If you want to seek judicial review of this final agency action, you must file a petition for review in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit within 60 days of May 14, 2026. The notice states judicial review under Clean Air Act section 307(b)(1) (42 U.S.C. 7607(b)(1)) may be sought in that time frame.
EPA Appeal Rights to Environmental Appeals Board
Under 40 CFR 49.159(d)(1) and 40 CFR 124.19, any person who filed comments on the draft permit or participated in a public hearing may petition the EPA's Environmental Appeals Board for review within 30 days after service of notice; those who did not file comments may petition only on final permit conditions that differ from the draft. The EPA reported it received no comments and made no changes from the draft, and therefore the permit became effective immediately on March 20, 2026.
