Re: Yucca Growth Infrastructure, LLC Initial NSR Application

Dear Permitting Program Staff:

Please accept this additional comment, demand for public hearing and demand for permit
application denial, submitted by the New Mexico Environmental Law Center on behalf of Jose
Saldaña Jr. and Vivian Fuller (hereinafter, “Community Members”), regarding Yucca Growth
Infrastructure, LLC’s (“YGI”) Initial NSR Application for the YGI Microgrid (“Application”).
Ultimately, YGI’s Application simply contains too many unknowns and provides far more
questions than answers that this Department must address prior to issuing any air pollution
permit at the expense of Southern New Mexico residents. ..
