EPA Announces New Hearing and Comment Period For Team Completions Underground Disposal Permit In Kalaska, Mich. (MI)
For Immediate Release
No. 11-OPA072
CHICAGO (August 18, 2011) – The
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today announced a new public
comment period and another public hearing on Team Completions
LLC’s request for changes to its current permit to dispose of
non-hazardous waste in an underground injection well. On Sept. 14,
EPA will hold an informal public meeting to answer questions from
6-7 p.m., followed by a formal public hearing from 7-8:30 p.m. at
St. Mary’s Hannah Catholic School, 2912 W. M-113, Kingsley.
EPA will accept written comments until Sept. 27.
EPA's first comment period closed in
May 2010 following an April 2010 public hearing. The Agency is
making the draft permit available for further comment because a
section of the draft permit was omitted during the earlier comment
period. Comments submitted in 2010 do not need to be resubmitted.
Supplemental comments are permitted. EPA will address all comments
received during both comment periods.
Comments should be addressed to William
Bates, UIC Branch (WU-16J), EPA Region 5, 77 W. Jackson Blvd.,
Chicago, IL 60604-3590 or
[email protected]. For questions
and additional information, contact William Bates at 312-886-6110
or call EPA's toll-free line at 800-621-8431, 9:30 a.m. to 5:30
p.m., weekdays.
Draft documents and more information
about public comment procedures are available on EPA’s
