Reasonably Available Control Technology; Public Hearings
Revision of Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan for Pennsylvania Power & Light Company, Sunbury SES, Shamokin Dam Borough, Snyder County.
The Department of Environmental Protection 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 (Sunbury SES) owned and operated by Pennsylvania Power & Light Company in Shamokin Dam Borough, Snyder 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 result in the revision of operating permit # OP-55-0001 previously issued on December 27, 1994, and will be submitted to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.
The following is a summary of the preliminary RACT determination which the Department proposes to incorporate into operating permit # OP-55-0001 for 4 pulverized coal and petroleum coke arch-fired electric utility boilers as a revision to the respective permit:
Source nitrogen oxides emission limit Units 1A and 1B (Stack # 1) not to exceed 1.10 pounds of nitrogen oxides (NOx, expressed as NO2) per million BTU of heat input, 30 day rolling average Units 2A and 2B (Stack # 2) not to exceed 1.16 pounds of nitrogen oxides (NOx, expressed as NO2) per million BTU of heat input, 30 day rolling average One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed operating permit revision and SIP revision. The hearing will be held on September 10, 1996, at 1 p.m. at the DEP Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
