    Public Hearing

    Ohio Environmental Protection Agency

    Five-Year Rule Review of Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) Chapter 3745-73,"Total Reduced Sulfur"

     

    Notice is hereby given that the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, Division of Air Pollution Control (DAPC) has performed a review of the above referenced rules primarily to satisfy the requirements of Section 106.03 and 106.031 of the Ohio Revised Code (five-year review). The DAPC finds the rules to be necessary and with need for changes.

     

    The rules in this chapter set limits, testing and recordkeeping requirements for emissions of reduced sulfur from Kraft Pulp mills in the state of Ohio.

     

    DAPC is proposing to make minor changes to fix typographical errors, and update formatting issues to match legislative services commission (LSC) formatting requirements. DAPC is also updating information on the version and availability of documents references in OAC 3745-73-01.

     

    Pursuant to Section 121.39 of the Ohio Revised Code, DAPC was required to consult with interested parties affected by the rules before the Division formally adopts them. On January 11, 2016, these rules went out for a 30-day review by interested parties. One set of comments was received and Ohio EPA made the suggested changes, which fixed a typographical error in OAC rule 3745-73-03. Ohio EPA's response to the comments document is available on our website, link below.

     

    Pursuant to Section 106.03 and 106.031 of the Ohio Revised Code, a public hearing on these rule changes will be conducted on Tuesday, July 12, 2016 at 10:30 AM at Ohio EPA, Lazarus Government Center, 50 W. Town Street, Suite 700, Columbus, Ohio. All visitors to Ohio EPA must register at the Security desk in the lobby upon arrival. Please bring photo identification (such as a valid driver's license). For security reasons, visitors are required to wear their badge at all times while in the building. Please arrive early to complete these procedures.

     

    All interested persons are entitled to attend or be represented at the hearing and give written or oral comments on these rule changes. All oral comments presented at the hearing, and all written statements submitted at the hearing or by the close of business on July 12, 2016, will be considered by Ohio EPA prior to final action on this rule. Written statements submitted after July 12, 2016, may be considered as time and circumstances permit, but will not be part of the official record of the hearing.
