Pinellas County
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) gives notice of its intent to issue two air permits (one document) to West Pharmaceutical Services of Florida, Inc. for its facility located at 11600 53rd Street North, Clearwater, Pinellas County. These permits modify the current construction permit and authorize continued operation of a medical vial closure manufacturing facility. The construction permit modifications include: (1) Update the facility's equipment list; (2) Reduce the maximum allowable VOC emissions limit from 94.8 to 78.0 tons per any consecutive 12-month period and remove the monthly allowable VOC emissions limit; and (3) Add a combined maximum usage limit of 5 tons per any consecutive 12-month period for VD thinner, BH hardener, ink, Safety-Kleen solvent, Tekusolv and Dibasic Ester and remove individual material usage limits on xylene and BH Hardener. These changes will not increase potential emissions from this facility. MAILING ADDRESS: West Pharmaceutical Services of Florida, Inc., 11600 53rd Street North, Clearwater, FL 33760, to the attention of Mr. Rick Valentine, Plant Manager.
The Department will issue the Final permits with the attached conditions unless a response received in accordance with the following procedures results in a different decision or significant change of terms or conditions.
The Department will accept written comments concerning the proposed permit issuance action for a period of fourteen days from the date of publication of this Public Notice of Intent to Issue Two Air Permits. Written comments should be provided to the Department of Environmental Protection, 13051 N. Telecom Parkway, Temple Terrace, FL 33637-0926. Any written comments filed shall be made available for public inspection. If written comments received result in a significant change in the proposed agency action, the Department shall revise the proposed permit and require, if applicable, another Public Notice.
The Department will issue the final permits with the attached conditions unless a timely petition for an administrative hearing is filed pursuant to Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S. before the deadline for filing a petition. The procedures for petitioning for a hearing are set forth below.
Mediation is not available in this proceeding.
A person whose substantial interests are affected by the proposed permitting decision may petition for an administrative proceeding (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S. The petition must contain the information set forth below and must be filed (received) in the Office of General Counsel of the Department, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station #35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000. Petitions filed by the permit applicant or any of the parties listed below must be filed within fourteen days of receipt of this notice of intent. Petitions filed by any persons other than those entitled to written notice under Section 120.60(3), F.S. must be filed within fourteen days of publication of the public notice or within fourteen days of receipt of this notice of intent, whichever occurs first. Under Section 120.60(3), F.S., however, any person who asked the Department for notice of agency action may file a petition within fourteen days of receipt of that notice, regardless of the date of publication. A petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the applicant at the address indicated above at the time of filing. The failure of any person to file a petition within the appropriate time period shall constitute a waiver of that person's right to request an administrative determination (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S. or to intervene in this proceeding and participate as a party to it. Any subsequent intervention will be only at the approval of the presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205, F.A.C.
A petition that disputes the material facts on which the Department's action is based must contain the following information: (a) The name and address of each agency affected and each agency's file or identification number, if known; (b) The name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner, the name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner's representative, if any, which shall be the address for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of how the petitioner's substantial interests will be affected by the agency determination; (c) A statement of how and when petitioner received notice of the agency action or proposed action; (d) A statement of all disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so indicate; (e) A concise statement of the ultimate facts alleged, including the specific facts the petitioner contends warrant reversal or modification of the agency's proposed action; (f) A statement of the specific rules or statutes the petitioner contends require reversal or modification of the agency's proposed action; and (g) A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely the action petitioner wishes the agency to take with respect to the agency's proposed action.
A petition that does not dispute the material facts upon which the Department's action is based shall state that no such facts are in dispute and otherwise shall contain the same information as set forth above, as required by Rule 28-106.301, F.A.C.
Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition means that the Department's final action may be different from the position taken by it in this notice. Persons whose substantial interests will be affected by any such final decision of the Department on the application have the right to petition to become a party to the proceeding, in accordance with the requirements set forth above.
A complete project file is available for public inspection during normal business hours, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except legal holidays, at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Southwest District, 13051 N. Telecom Parkway, Temple Terrace, Florida.
