REASONABLY AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
(RACT)
Proposed Revision to the State Implementation Plan for Oxides of Nitrogen and Volatile Organic Compounds and Notice of Public Hearing
OSRAM SYLVANIA Products, Inc.
Tioga County Approval of Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan for OSRAM SYLVANIA Products, Inc.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has made a preliminary determination to approve a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan and an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for a facility owned and operated by OSRAM SYLVANIA Products, Inc. in Wellsboro Borough, Tioga County.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the RACT approval for the facility to comply with current regulations.
The preliminary RACT determination, if finally approved, will be incorporated into an operating permit for the facility and will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.
The preliminary RACT determination for the largest nitrogen oxides-emitting source within the facility, a glass furnace identified as Tank No. 42, is the operation of an associated combustion ratio control system so as to maintain optimum combustion conditions within the furnace, the implementation of the furnace maintenance, repair and upgrade program described in the respective RACT plan, the operation of the furnace in accordance with good air pollution control practices and the maintenance of a nitrogen oxides emission rate below 375.3 tons within any 12 consecutive month period. All other nitrogen oxide-emitting sources at the facility are subject to the presumptive RACT requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 129.93(c).
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed operating permit and the proposed SIP revision. The hearing will be held on December 18, 1997 at 1 p.m. at the Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA. The public is invited to comment on the proposal. Persons interested in commenting are invited to appear at the public hearing.
Persons wishing to present testimony at the hearing should contact Daniel Spadoni at (717) 327-3659 at least 1 week in advance of the hearing to reserve a time to present testimony. Oral testimony will be limited to a maximum of 10 minutes per individual and two written copies of the oral testimony are requested. Each organization is requested to designate one witness to present testimony on its behalf.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to do so should contact Daniel Spadoni at (717) 327-3659 or the Pennsylvania AT&T relay service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
Those unable to attend the hearing, but wishing to comment, should provide written comments to David Aldenderfer, Air Quality Environmental Program Manager, Pennsylvania DEP, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701-6448. Comments should be submitted by January 2, 1998.
All pertinent documents are available for review from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling (717) 327-3693.
Con-Lime, Inc.
Centre County On May 31, 1995, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) conducted a public hearing to solicit comments on a proposed nitrogen oxides Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) determination and proposed operating permit issuance for two rotary lime kilns, a rotary stone dryer and various small combustion sources owned and operated by Con-Lime, Inc. in Benner Township, Centre County. The Department subsequently issued an operating permit, identified as OP-14-0001, to Con-Lime, Inc. on June 30, 1995.
One of the restrictions contained in Operating Permit OP-14-0001 limited the lime production rate of lime kiln #1 to a maximum of 10.5 tons per hour and 91,980 tons per year and the lime production rate of lime kiln #3 to a maximum of 10.0 tons per hour and 87,600 tons per year. Con-Lime, Inc. has requested that these restrictions be modified to allow a production rate of 14.0 tons per hour for lime kiln #1, 17.0 tons per hour for lime kiln #3 and annual rates for both kilns which reflect continuous long-term operation at the elevated hourly production rates. As the nitrogen oxides emissions from lime kiln #1 are limited to 10.2 pounds per ton of lime produced and those from lime kiln #3 are limited to 9.1 pounds per ton of lime produced, the net effect of allowing higher hourly and annual production rates for the lime kilns will be to increase their allowable hourly and annual nitrogen oxides emission rates.
Con-Lime, Inc. claims that the production rate restrictions currently specified in Operating Permit OP-14-0001, which were established on the basis of data previously provided by Con-Lime, Inc., are erroneous and that the requested allowable production rates reflect the lime kilns' true capabilities.
After examining the data provided by the company, the Department has concluded that the true capacity of lime kiln #1 is 14.0 tons of lime per hour and that of lime kiln #3 is 17.0 tons of lime per hour. The Department is, therefore, preliminarily proposing to modify Operating Permit OP-14-0001 to specify these rates as the maximum hourly production rates allowed for lime kilns #1 and #3. The Department has also determined, however, that the data provided by Con-Lime, Inc. does not support modification of the currently-specified annual lime production restrictions to the levels being requested. The Department has, therefore, preliminarily decided not to approve the request for an increase in the allowable annual lime production rates.
If approved, the revised allowable hourly lime production rates will be incorporated into a revised operating permit and submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a revision to the Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan.
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed revised operating permit and the proposed SIP revision. The hearing will be held on December 18, 1997, at 1 p.m. at the Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA. The public is invited to comment on the proposal. Persons interested in commenting are invited to appear at the public hearing.
Persons wishing to present testimony at the hearing should contact Daniel Spadoni at (717) 327-3659 at least 1 week in advance of the hearing to reserve a time to present testimony. Oral testimony will be limited to a maximum of 10 minutes per individual and two written copies of the oral testimony are requested. Each organization is requested to designate one witness to present testimony on its behalf.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to do so should contact Daniel Spadoni at (717) 327-3659 or the Pennsylvania AT&T relay service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
Those unable to attend the hearing, but wishing to comment, should provide written comments to David Aldenderfer, Air Quality Environmental Program Manager, Pennsylvania DEP, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701-6448. Comments should be submitted by January 2, 1998.
All pertinent documents are available for review from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling (717) 327-3693.
