Notice is hereby given that First State Generation LLC Edge Moor Energy Center having a facility at 200 Hay Road in Wilmington, Delaware, has submitted a request for permit renewal pursuant to 40 CFR Part 72.30(c). Based on the data and certifications contained in the applications, the Division of Air Quality concludes that the applicant meets all applicable requirements promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC). Therefore, a “draft/proposed” permit renewal has been prepared. There has been no change to the applicable requirements and all existing permit conditions will transfer into the renewal permit for the Title IV.

The application, the “draft/proposed” permit renewal, Permit: AQM-003/00007-IV-Renewal (05), all materials that the applicant has submitted (other than those granted confidential treatment under DNREC rules), and a copy of summary of other materials, if any, considered in preparing the “draft/proposed” permit renewals may be reviewed upon request. The materials are posted at de.gov/dnrecnotices. To submit comments, for additional information or for information regarding how you can inspect the application materials, please contact Jennifer Childears at (302) 739 9402 or jennifer.childears@delaware.gov.

The “draft/proposed” permit renewal is being submitted to EPA for concurrent processing. If there are no significant comments, the “Draft/Proposed” permit renewal will be issued as final permit after expiration of the EPA review period.

A public hearing concerning the permitting action will not be held unless the Secretary of the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control receives a request for such hearing within thirty (30) days from the date of this notice, ending April 24, 2026. A request for a hearing shall be in writing and must show a familiarity with the application and a reasoned statement of the permit renewal’s probable impact.
