~ Inaccordance with the provisions of the:
Wyeming Environmental. Quality ,Act and Chapter
l~Seqtion 3(a) of the Selid Waste Rulesand
Regulations, the Red Giant Oil Company has
submitted an application for a major permit
amendment for the Red Giant Oil Company of
Newcastle.
This facility currently provides for the transfer,
treatment, and storage of new oil, used oil, used
oil mixtures, used anti-freeze used transformer
oil, grease, oily rags, oil filters, slop diesel, low
and high temperature grease, and petroleum
contaminated soil which have been gener-
ated within the states of Wyoming, Montana,
Idaho, Nebraska, Northern Colorado, Eastern
Nevada, Utah, and Western South Dakota. The
10 acre facility is located on 10 Big Red Road
in Newcastle, WY. More specifically, this facility
is located in the SE 1/4 of Section 2, and NW
114 SW 114 of Section 1, Township 44N, Range
61 W, Weston County, Wyoming. The facility
collects approximately 5.5 million gallons of
used oil, 16,000 gallons of used anti-freeze and
10,000 pounds of used grease annually, which is
marketed to used oil burning facilities. The site
life of the facility is indefinite.
The purpose of the permit amendment appli-
cation is to allow the operator of this facility to
install four new oil tanks which will increase the
total volumetric capacity by more than five per-
cent.
The Department of Environmental Quality,
Solid and Hazardous Waste Division (DEQ) has
determined that the major amendment appli-
cation is generally complete and technically
adequate. DEQ's solid waste rules, in Chapter 1,
Section 2 (b)(ii), require that the applicant must
provide public notice that a proposed permit has
been issued, and inform the public that there is
an opportunity to comment on the proposed per-
mit before it is issued in its final form. The notice
is also required to indicate that the public may
file formal written objections to issuance of final
permiL This publication provides notice of those
opportunities.
Copies of the major amendment application,
the DEQ's review of the application, and the pro-
posed permit can be viewed at DEQ's Cheyenne
office (122 West 25th Street, Cheyenne, WY
82002), at the Weston County Public Library
(23 West Main St Newcastle, WY 82701), and
the Weston County Clerk's Office (1 West Main,
Newcastle, WY 82701).
Any interested person has the right to either:
provide comments on the proposed permit,
which DEQ will consider prior to taking final
action on the permit application, or file formal
written objections to the proposed permit. The
period for providing comments, or filing formal
written objections to the proposed permit, shall
begin on 6/11/2015 and end on 7/10/2015.
Any comments or formal written objec-
tions must be received by 5:00 PM on the
last day of the notice period. Comments or
formal objections must be submitted in writing
to the Department of Environmental Quality,
Todd Parfitt, Director, 122 West 25th Street,

must be accompanied by a statement of the
facts upon which the objection is based. If sub-
stantial written objections are filed, a contested
case hearing will be held by the Environmental
Quality Council.

Disabilities Act, special assistance or alternative
formats will be made available upon request for
individuals with disabilities.
