Penalty Assessments

Reck Brothers - NOAV No. 2892 (For Possible Action)

Alleged failures to construct or operate a stationary source in accordance with any conditon of an operating permit, in violation of Class II Air Quality Operating Permit AP1611-0835. This NOAV was heard and tabled by the Commission on September 7, 2023, and heard again on December 5, 2023, when the Commission upheld the NOAV for a penalty total of $24,000.00, with $12,000.00 payable to the State of Nevada and $12,000.00 to be held in abeyance and dismissed after Reck Bros. and NDEP agree upon, and Reck Bros. completes to the satisfaction of the NDEP, a supplemental environmental project with at least equivalent value. During the November 19, 2024, meeting, NDEP will provide the Commission with a brief update on the status of NOAV 2892. The SEC may take further administrative action on the original recommendation for an administrative penalty of $24,000.00.

Reck Brothers - NOAV No. 3139 (For Possible Action)

Alleged failures to construct or operate a stationary source in accordance with any conditon of an operating permit, in violation of Class II Air Quality Operating Permit AP1611-0835.03.

Recommendation: Approve the NDEP-recommended penalty for Reck Brothers in the amount of $21,024 for NOAV No. 3139 or take other action as appropriate.

 

NDEP Regulatory Petitions

Permanent Regulation R133-24: Bureau of Safe Drinking Water - Regulatory clean-up in response to Governor's Executive Order EO2023-003.

R133-24 is proposing to amend various sections of Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) 445A to streamline, clarify, and improve the regulations to provide for the general welfare of the State without unnecessarily inhibiting economic growth. 

The proposed changes are not expected have any economic impact on the public, the regulated community, or the Division.

Permanent Regulation R138-24: Bureau of Air Quality Planning - Compliance with Federal Regional Haze Rule and Clean Air Act Requirements

R138-24 proposes to amend Chapter 445B of the NAC to establish the emission limits and control measures required at the Valmy Units and Tracy Unit 4 Pinion Pine to meet Regional Haze reasonable progress requirements instead of closure.

The proposed changes are not expected have any economic impact on the public, the regulated community, or the Division.

Permanent Regulation R144-24: Bureau of Air Quality Planning - Aligning with the Requirements of AB184, the Clean Trucks and Buses Incentive Program

R144-24 proposes to amend Chapter 445B of the NAC to add language that pertains to Assembly Bill 184 of the 82nd legislative session (Assembly Bill 184) for the Clean Trucks and Buses Incentive Program, which provides voucher incentives for the purchase of zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, along with various requirements for the Program and other matters relating thereto. 

The proposed changes regulate businesses that voluntarily participate in the program. The regulation will have a largely positive economic effect on businesses that participate by providing incentives for the acquisition of zero-emission busses and trucks. These incentives are available to local governments, state agencies, and nonprofit organizations, and will have a positive economic effect on these entities. The estimated cost to the Division to implement the program is approximately $180,000 per year, with additional costs for incentives, but both will be reimbursed with federal Carbon Reduction Program grant funds, as per Assembly Bill 184.

The proposed changes are not expected to have any economic effect on the public, regulated businesses, or the Division.
