The regulation further requires such information be made available to the public and the public be allowed a period of thirty (30) days to submit comments. A public hearing will be conducted only if, in the opinion of the Administrator, sufficient interest is generated or if an aggrieved party requests a hearing within the 30 day public comment period.
Notice is hereby given on June 24, 2023 that the State of Wyoming, Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Air Quality, proposes to issue a modified Chapter 6, Section 3 operating permit to the following applicant for the Cheyenne Sanitary Landfill #1 in Laramie County, Wyoming:

The Cheyenne Sanitary Landfill #1 is located in Sections 33 and 34, Township 14 North, Range 68 West, Laramie County, Wyoming (approximately 10 miles west of Cheyenne, Wyoming). The facility is an active municipal solid waste landfill. The pollutants of primary concern from this facility are Non-Methane Organic Compounds (NMOCs).
Chapter 6, Section 3 does not impose new substantive requirements on an air pollution source but does require sources subject to the Operating Permit Program obtain a renewable operating permit that clarifies in a single document which air quality requirements apply to the source and provides methods for assessing the source's compliance with those requirements.
This permit is being modified to incorporate requirements of 40 CFR 60 Subpart XXX Standards of Performance for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills That Commenced Construction, Reconstruction, or Modification After July 17, 2014. This modification reflects no substantive changes to the estimated yearly potential emissions. Only the modified portions of the permit are open for public comment.
