SPECIAL NOTICES
Notice of Intent to Issue
Synthetic Minor Operating Permit
Permit No. S95-054
Philadelphia County City of Philadelphia Air Management Services (AMS) intends to issue a Synthetic Minor Operating Permit (Permit No. S95-054) to Amerada Hess Corporation for the gasoline terminal located at 1630 South 51st Street, Philadelphia, PA 19143.
The facility is a bulk gasoline terminal subject to the operating permit requirements under 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter F (relating to operating permit requirements). It applied for a synthetic minor operating permit and accepted emission limitations in order to avoid being a major facility subject to the operating permit requirements under Title V of the Federal Clean Air Act and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G (relating to Title V operating permits). Its major sources of emissions include three gasoline storage tanks, and a gasoline loading rack which without emission limitations would have the potential to emit major source levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs).
Copies of the Synthetic Minor application, proposed permit and other relevant information are available for public inspection at Air Management Services, Spelman Building, 321 University Avenue--2nd Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19104. An appointment to review the documents may be scheduled by contacting Brenda Bonner at (215) 685-7572 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.
Interested persons may submit written comments, suggestions or objections concerning the proposed Synthetic Minor permit to Thomas Huynh, Chief of Source Registration, Air Management Services, 321 University Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19104 within 30 days of publication of this notice. Written comments submitted to AMS during the 30-day public comment period shall include the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments.
AMS reserves the right to hold a public hearing on the proposed action based upon the information received during the public comment period and will provide notice of any scheduled public hearing at least 30 days in advance of the hearing. The hearing notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation where the facility is located.
