AIR QUALITY
OPERATING PERMIT
Notice of Intent to Revise Operating Permits for Large Municipal Waste Combustors
Under section 111(d)/129 of the Clean Air Act, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated Emission Guidelines (EG) to control the emission of combustor gases from existing large municipal waste combustors (MWCs). (See 60 FR 65382, December 19, 1995, and 62 FR 45116, August 25, 1997). The guidelines are codified at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb (relating to emission guidelines and compliance times for large municipal waste combustors that are constructed on or before September 20, 1994). The Subpart Cb requirements apply to any existing large MWC unit that is capable of combusting more than 250 tons per day of municipal solid waste.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to submit Section 111(d)/129 State Plan for large MWCs to EPA by March 27, 1998. In accordance with the Plan, the Department will implement the EG by incorporating the applicable requirement of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb into Federally Enforceable State Operating Permits (FESOPs). The revised FESOPs will serve as the legally enforceable mechanism to implement the Subpart Cb requirements.
Copies of the proposed permit amendments and other relevant information are available for public inspection and additional information may be obtained by contacting the Department's Southeast Regional Office.
Interested persons may submit written comments, suggestions or objections concerning the proposed permit amendments to the Regional Office within 30 days of publication of this notice. Written comments submitted to the Department during the 30-day public comment period shall include the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, along with the reference number of the proposed permit. The commentator should also include a concise statement of any objections to the issuance of the revised permit and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based.
The Department reserves the right to hold a public hearing on the proposed action based upon the information received during the public comment period and will provide notice of the hearing at least 30 days prior to the hearing.
The following designated MWC facilities must comply with the Subpart Cb requirements.

REASONABLY AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
(RACT)
Reasonably Available Control Technology; Public Hearing
Bird-In-Hand Woodworks, Inc. The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has made a preliminary determination to approve a revised Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) Plan and proposes to revise the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the Bird-In-Hand Woodworks, Inc. at 3031 Industry Road, East Hempfield Township, Lancaster County.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in RACT Operating Permit No. 36-2022A for the existing facility to comply with current regulations. The preliminary VOC RACT revision involves the addition of an EPA control technology guidance emission limitation and the removal of a tons per year VOC emission limitation.
The preliminary RACT determination, when 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 SIP.
An appointment to review the pertinent documents at the Southcentral Regional Office may be scheduled by contacting Mary Disanto at (717) 540-5018 between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposal. The hearing will be held on May 20, 1998, at the Department of Environmental Protection, Lancaster District Office, 1661 Old Philadelphia Pike, Lancaster, PA 17602 from 1 p.m. until all scheduled comments on the proposal are received.
Those wishing to comment are requested to contact Susan Frank at (717) 541-7969 at least 1 week in advance of the hearing to schedule their testimony.
