Notice of Intent to Issue Title V Operating Permit #16-00127

   Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.521, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a Title V Operating Permit to Piney Creek Limited Partnership (Piney Creek).

Piney Creek's representative to contact concerning this application is Kendall Reed, Plant Manager, at R. R. 2, Box 56, Clarion, PA 16214 or at (814) 226-8001.

   Piney Creek's facility is primarily used for the generation of electricity. The facility's primary air emission sources include a fluidized bed combustion unit and coal and limestone handling and conveying areas. The facility is a major stationary source as defined in Title I, Part D of the Clean Air Act Amendments due to the facility's potential to emit of sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide. The facility is therefore subject to the Title V Operating Permit requirements adopted in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G.

   Copies of the application, the Department's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public inspection during normal business hours at the Department of Environmental Protection, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.

   Any person wishing to provide the Department of Environmental Protection with additional information which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of this permit may submit the information to the Department at the address shown above. A 30-day comment period, from the date of this publication, will exist for the submission of comments. Each written comment must contain the following information:

   *  Name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments.

   *  Identification of the proposed permit (specify Permit #TV 16-00127)

   *  Concise statements regarding the relevancy of the information in the proposed permit or objections to issuance of the permit.

   A public hearing may be held, if the Department, in its discretion, decides that such a hearing is warranted based on the information received. All persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper or by the Pennsylvania Bulletin, or by telephone, where the Department determines such notification by telephone is sufficient. Written comments or requests for a public hearing should be directed to Larry W. Wonders, Regional Air Quality Program Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Northwest Region, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335. For additional information concerning the permit or the issuance procedure, contact Eric A. Gustafson, Facilities Section Chief, Air Quality Program, at the same address or phone at (814) 332-6940.


Notice of Intent of Issue Title V Operating Permit No. 09-00016

   Under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.424 and 127.521 the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue a Title V Operating Permit to PECO Energy, for the Croydon facility. The PECO Energy Croydon Plant is located at 955 River Road, Croydon, in Bristol Township, Bucks County.

   The Croydon facility is primarily used for peak electrical production. As a result of the potential levels of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Sulfur Oxides (SOx), Particulate Matter (PM10), and Carbon Monoxide (CO) emitted, Croydon is a major stationary source as defined in Title I, Part D of the Clean Air Act Amendments. The facility is therefore subject to the Title V permitting requirements adopted in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G.

   The proposed Title V Operating Permit does not adopt any new regulations and does not reflect any change in air emissions from the facility. It incorporates all of the applicable air quality requirements for each source at the existing plant into a single permit as required under Title V of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Upon final approval, the permit will be issued for a period of 5 years.

   An appointment to review the permit application and the draft Title V Operating Permit at the Department's Southeast Regional Office may be scheduled by contacting the Record's Management staff, at (610) 832-6000 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.

   A 30-day comment period, from the date of this publication, will exist for the submission of comments. Each written comment must contain the following:

   *  Name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments.

   *  Identification of the proposed permit (specify permit TVOP-09-00016)

   *  Concise statements regarding the relevancy of objections to issuance of the permit.

   A public hearing may be held, if the Department of Environmental Protection, in its discretion, decides that such a hearing is warranted based on the information received. All persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified on the decision to hold a hearing by publication in this newspaper or by the Pennsylvania Bulletin, or by telephone, where the Department of Environmental Protection determines such notification by telephone is sufficient.
