   19-322-002C: White Pines Corporation (515 State Route 42, Millville, PA 17846) for operation of a rock screening and conveying operation at their residual waste landfill facility in Pine Township, Columbia County. The operation will process onsite rock that will be used for daily cover at the landfill. Fugitive particulate matter from the operation of the respective equipment is controlled by a water spray dust suppression system and the resultant emissions are minimal. The generator which is used to power the operation has the potential to emit up to 2.26 tons of nitrogen oxides, 0.40 ton of carbon monoxide and 0.07 ton of hydrocarbons per 12 consecutive month period.

   The Department has determined that the rock screening and conveying operation has been constructed and is operating, in conformance with all conditions contained in Plan Approval 19-322-002C as well as in compliance with all applicable requirements contained in 25 Pa. Code Article III including the fugitive air contaminant emission requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.1 and 123.2 and the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. The Department consequently intends to issue an operating permit for the rock screening and conveying operation.

   The Department plans to place conditions in the operating permit to be issued which are intended to ensure continued compliance with all applicable requirements as well as require appropriate record keeping practices to be employed. The following is a summary of these conditions:

   1.  The screening and conveying operation shall not be operated at any time that the associated water spray dust suppression system cannot be operated due to freezing weather or any other reason.

   2.  The generator used to power the screening operation shall not be operated more than 500 hours during any 12 consecutive month period. The company shall maintain a record of the number of hours the generator is operated each month.

   3.  If at any time it is determined the air contaminant emissions from the screening and conveying operation are in excess of any applicable air contaminant emissions limitation, the company shall immediately install additional water spray nozzles and/or take other control measures as are necessary to reduce the air contaminant emissions to within the applicable limitations.

   The permit application proposes to obtain a maintenance permit for a 12-foot stone arch enclosure with a distance of 465 linear feet and a 60 inch corrugated plastic pipe enclosure measuring 250 linear feet on an unnamed tributary to the West Branch of the Susquehanna River. This arch structure was constructed to convey stream flow under a railroad turnbuckle a minimum of 50 years ago. After the September 1999, flood events, a 60-inch smooth bore corrugated plastic pipe was installed to convey the additional 100-year flood flows that the existing structure could not convey. This area was severely damaged by the flood, which prompted an Emergency Permit (EP6099503) for restoration of the site. One condition of the Emergency Permit was to obtain a maintenance permit for the corrective action of which this application is serving. There are no stream or wetland impacts associated with this project since it has been completed. The watercourse is classified as a Warm Water Fishery.
