Requested Flexibility. IP asks that its Androscoggin Mill be exempted from all BMP requirements specified in 40 CFR 430.03(c) through (j). EPA and the ME DEP intend to provide this flexibility by issuing site-specific rules that exempts IP from these requirements and incorporating these changes in applicable portions of IP’s reissued effluent discharge permit for that purpose. At the conclusion of the project, if the project is judged to be a success, EPA and ME DEP intend to allow IP to continue operating under the site-specific rule promulgated at the time of the FPA. However, the EPA and ME DEP may withdraw the exemption at any time in the future if the terms and objectives of the FPA are not met, or if the exemption becomes inconsistent with future statutory or regulatory requirements. The Project Signatories to the Agreement do not anticipate any need to provide flexibility from any additional requirements. If additional flexibility should become necessary and is determined to be appropriate by EPA or the ME DEP, the FPA will be renegotiated and will be subject to public notice and comment, as appropriate.
