AIR RESOURCES

Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications

Nonmajor Sources and Modifications

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed an integrated plan approval, State operating permit and Title V operating permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.

   The Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities. Although the sources covered by these applications may be located at a major facility, the sources being installed or modified do not trigger major new source review or prevention of significant deterioration requirements.

   Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Offices identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office.

   Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Any comments or protests filed with the Department's Regional Offices must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the plan approval or operating permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior to the date of the hearing.

   Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121--143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

OPERATING PERMITS

Notice of Intent to Issue Title V Operating Permits

   Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.521, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a Title V Operating Permit to the following facilities. These facilities are major facilities subject to the operating permit requirements under Title V of the Federal Clean Air Act and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapters F and G (relating to operating permit requirements; and Title V operating permits).

Notice of Intent to Issue Synthetic Minor State-Only Operating Permits for Certain Gasoline Distribution Facilities

   Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.424, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is providing notice of its intent to issue synthetic minor State-only Operating Permits to the gasoline distribution facilities shown. These facilities have the physical and operation capacity to emit major source amounts of regulated pollutants, but are not considered major sources because the owners or operators of these facilities have taken Federally enforceable emission limits below major source thresholds to avoid requirements of Title III and/or Title V of the Clean Air Act. The Federally enforceable emission restrictions apply to the gasoline throughput for each facility.

   In order to qualify as an area source for Title III purposes or a nonmajor source under Title V in moderate ozone nonattainment areas, the maximum allowable emissions (after controls) shall be less than 50 tons per year or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and 10 tons of a single hazardous air pollutant (HAP) or 25 tons per year of any combination of HAPs. The HAP emissions from these facilities include benzene, hexane, toluene, xylene and methyl-tertiary butyl-ether (MTBE). For purposes of Title V, other pollutants including carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and PM-10 must also be emitted below the major source thresholds (see Title V facility definition in 25 Pa. Code § 121.1).

   The Department will issue the synthetic minor permits no later than June 15, 1998. As a result the gasoline distribution maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standard in 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R will not apply to the gasoline bulk terminals and/or pipeline breakout stations listed in this notice. Title V operating permits will not be issued to these facilities. Copies of the synthetic minor application, the proposed permit and other relevant documents are available for public inspection during normal business hours in the Department regional offices identified in this notice.

   Persons wishing to provide the Department with additional information which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of these synthetic minor permits may submit the information to the appropriate Department Regional Office. A 30-day comment period, from the date of this publication, will exist for the submission of protests or comments on the proposed permits. Each written protest or comment must include the name, address and telephone number of the commentator, the proposed permit number and a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a public hearing, a notice of the date, time and location of the hearing will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior to the hearing.

   The final synthetic minor State-only operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that these facilities comply with applicable requirements including monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

S. §§ 3301--3326); The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.1001); the Coal Refuse Disposal Control Act (52 P. S. §§ 30.51--30.66); The Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1406.1--1406.21).

   The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). A copy of the application is available for inspection at the District mining office indicated above each application. Where a 401 water quality certification is needed for any aspect of a particular proposed mining activity, the submittal of the permit application will serve as the request for the certification.

   Written comments or objections, or requests for informal conferences on applications, may be submitted by any person or any officer or head of any Federal, State or local government agency or authority to the Department at the same address within 30 days of this publication, or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.121--77.123 and 86.31--86.34 (relating to public notices of filing of permit applications, opportunity for comment, and informal conferences).

   Where any of the mining activities listed will have discharges of wastewater to streams, the Department will incorporate NPDES permits into the mining activity permits issued in response to these applications. The NPDES permits will contain, at a minimum, technology-based effluent limitations (as described in the Department's regulations--25 Pa. Code §§ 77.522, 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.242, 89.52 and 90.102) for iron, manganese, suspended solids, settleable solids, alkalinity and pH. In addition to the above, more restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining which may occur will be incorporated into a mining activity permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 93 and 95). Persons or agencies which have requested review of the NPDES permit requirements for a particular mining activity within the above-mentioned public comment period will be provided with a 30-day period to review and submit comments on those requirements.

   Written comments or objections should contain the name, address and telephone number of persons submitting comments or objections; application number; and a statement of sufficient detail to inform the Department on the basis of comment or objection and relevant facts upon which it is based. Requests for an informal conference must contain the name, address and telephone number of requestor; application number; a brief summary of the issues to be raised by the requestor at the conference; and a statement whether the requestor desires to have the conference conducted in the locality of the proposed mining activities.
