NOTICE OF COMMENT PERIOD FOR DRAFT/PROPOSED OPERATING PERMIT RENEWAL

           Title V of the Federal Clean Air Act and the state Air Pollution
Control Act requires that all major sources and certain minor sources have a
permit to operate which states all requirements (e.g. emission limitations,
monitoring requirements, etc.) established by regulations promulgated under the
aforementioned programs.  The Division of Air Quality (DAQ) has determined that
the draft/proposed permit renewal referenced herein meets this requirement.

           The DAQ is providing notice to the general public of its
preliminary determination to issue an operating permit renewal to the following
company for operation of the referenced electric generating facility:

                                   Longview Power, LLC
                                   Longview Power Plant
                                   Plant ID No.:  061-00134
                                   1375 Fort Martin Road
                                   Maidsville, WV 26541

           This notice solicits comments from the public and affected state(s)
concerning the above preliminary determination and provides an opportunity for
such parties to review the basis for the proposed approval and the "draft"
permit renewal.  This notice also solicits comments from the U.S. EPA
concerning the same preliminary determination and provides an opportunity for
the U.S. EPA to concurrently review the basis for the proposed approval as
a “proposed” permit.  This notice also incorporates changes to the General
Requirements of the following preconstruction permit(s):  R14-0024F.

           All written comments submitted by the public and affected state(s)
pursuant to this notice must be received by the DAQ within thirty (30) days of
the date of publication of this notice.  Under concurrent review, written
comments submitted by the U.S. EPA must be received by the DAQ within forty-
five (45) days from the date of publication of this notice or from the date the
U.S. EPA receives this draft/proposed permit renewal, whichever is later.  In
the event that the 30th/45th day is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the
comment period will be extended until 5:00 p.m. on the following regularly
scheduled business day.  The public shall have 135 days from the date of
publication of this notice to file petitions for concurrently reviewed
permits.  Upon notice by the U.S. EPA to the DAQ, prior to the end of the 45-
day notice period, the U.S. EPA may choose to hold the 30 day comment period on
the draft permit and the 45 day comment period on the proposed permit
sequentially.  During the public comment period any interested person may
submit written comments on the draft permit and may request a public hearing,
if no public hearing has already been scheduled. A request for a public hearing
shall be in writing and shall state the nature of the issues proposed to be
raised in the hearing. The Director of the DAQ shall grant such a request for a
hearing if he concludes that a public hearing is appropriate.  Any public
hearing shall be held in the general area in which the facility is located,
after 30 day notice is given.  The DAQ will consider all written comments prior
to final action on the permit.
