Final Title V Permit for Bonanza Plant
The EPA issued a final Title V air permit for Deseret Generation and Transmission Co-operative's Bonanza Power Plant. The Environmental Appeals Board denied the Ute Tribe's petition on September 10, 2024, and EPA issued the final permit decision on December 17, 2024; the permit lets the plant operate under Clean Air Act rules through December 17, 2029.
Deadline to Seek Judicial Review
If you want to challenge EPA's final permit decision for the Bonanza plant, you must file a petition for review in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit by March 17, 2025. That judicial review deadline is set under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act.
Title V Permit Five-Year Term Rule
Under Title V rules noted in the notice, a Title V permit is valid for no more than five years and may be renewed in five-year increments. That means facilities with Title V permits must seek renewal every five years if they want to continue operating under the permit.
