Proposed Revision to the State Implementation Plan for Oxides of Nitrogen and Volatile Organic Compounds; Public Hearing.
On May 20, 1996, the Department of Environmental Protection conducted a public hearing to solicit comments on a proposed volatile organic compound and nitrogen oxide Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) determination, plan approval issuance, operating permit issuance and State Implementation Plan (SIP) amendment for a natural gas compressor station owned and operated by National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation (NFGS) in Allegany Township, Potter County, and identified as their ''Ellisburg Station.'' The Department subsequently issued an operating permit, identified as OP-53-0009, and a plan approval, identified as PA-53-0009A, which established RACT for the station's various emission sources. The Department has now concluded that certain revisions to Operating Permit OP-53-0009 are necessary.
First, NFGS has determined that it is unable to meet the 1.5 pounds per hour volatile organic compound emission limitation for Dehydration Still #1 as established in the operating permit. The Department has determined that this is due to the use by NFGS of a newly-available, more refined emission determination method than that which was available and in use when NFGS made its original operating permit application. This more refined emission determination method shows a volatile organic compound emission rate of 1.78 pounds per hour for Dehydration Still #1. After evaluating the information, the Department has determined that the revised volatile organic compound emission rate is still reflective of RACT. The Department has therefore made a preliminary determination to approve the proposed revised limitation.
Second, the Department has determined that it incorrectly failed to include two other dehydration stills (identified as Still #2 and Still #3) in the operating permit. After reviewing the pertinent information the Department has made preliminary RACT determinations for these two additional dehydration stills, and intends to revise the operating permit to include these dehydration stills and their RACT volatile organic compound emission limitations.
If approved, the revisions described above (as summarized below) will be incorporated into a revised operating permit and submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a revision to Pennsylvania's SIP.
The following is a summary of the sources involved in the revisions described above, and the preliminary RACT volatile organic compound emission limitations to which the Department has determined each should be subject:
Source VOC, tons per year VOC, pounds per hour Still #1 1.78 7.81 Still #2 1.83 8.00 Still #3 3.09 13.55
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed SIP revision. The hearing will be held on June 19, 1997, at 1 p.m. at the Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA. The public is invited to comment on the proposal. Persons interested in commenting are invited to appear at the public hearing.
Persons wishing to present testimony at the hearing should contact Daniel Spadoni at (717) 327-3659 at least 1 week in advance of the hearing to reserve a time to present testimony. Oral testimony will be limited to a maximum of 10 minutes per individual and two written copies of the oral testimony are requested. Each organization is requested to designate one witness to present testimony on its behalf.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations should contact Daniel Spadoni at (717) 327-3659 or the Pennsylvania AT&T relay service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
Those unable to attend the hearing, but wishing to comment, should provide written comments to Air Quality Environmental Program Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701-6448. Comments should be submitted by July 4, 1997.
Pertinent documents are available for review from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling (717) 327-3693.
