OPERATING PERMITS


Intent to Issue Title V Operating Permits under the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001--4015) and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G.

   Southeast Region: Air Quality Program, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401, Janine Tulloch-Reid, Facilities Permitting Chief, (484) 250-5920.

   23-00014: Kimberly-Clark of Pennsylvania, LLC (Front and Avenue of the States, Chester, PA 19013) in the City of Chester, Delaware County. This action is a renewal of the Title V Operating Permit. The initial permit was issued on December 19, 2001. The facility is primarily used for the manufacture of tissue paper and paper towels. As a result of potential emissions of NOx and VOCs, the facility is a major stationary source as defined in Title I, Part D of the Clean Air Act Amendments, and is therefore subject to the Title V permitting requirements adopted in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G. The proposed Title V Operating Renewal does not adopt any new regulations and does not reflect any change in air emissions from the facility. The facility is not subject to Compliance Assurance Monitoring under 40 CFR Part 64.

   The renewal contains all applicable requirements including monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting.
