AIR QUALITY
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 to schedule an appointment.
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.

Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) Allowance Program Proposed revisions to Title V/State Only Operating Permits to include conditions relating to NOx Allowance Requirements in 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.101--123.120.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue new or revise existing Title V/State Only Operating Permits to include provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.101--123.120 (relating to NOx allowance requirements). These regulations establish an NOx budget and an NOx allowance trading program for NOx affected sources for the purpose of achieving the health-based ozone ambient air quality standard. An NOx affected source is defined as a fossil fuel fired indirect heat exchange combustion unit with a maximum rated heat input capacity of 250 MMBtu/hour or more and all fossil fuel fired electric generating facilities rated at 15 megawatts or greater or any other source that voluntarily opts to become an NOx affected source.
The new or revised Title V/State only operating permits will require the owner or operator of each NOx affected source to hold a quantity of NOx allowances meeting the requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.110(a) by December 31, of each calendar year. One NOx Allowance is the limited authorization to emit one ton of NOx during the NOx Allowance Control Period, which begins May 1 of each year and ends September 30 of the same year. The NOx allowances held in the source's current year NOx Allowance Tracking System (NATS) account must be equal to or greater than the total NOx emitted from the source during the year's NOx allowance control period. The initial NOx allowance control period begins on May 1, 1999.
The new or revised Title V/State only operating permits will also include emission monitoring, reporting and recordkeeping requirements for each NOx affected source. NOx emissions from each NOx affected source shall be monitored in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.108 and the procedures contained in the document titled ''Guidance for Implementation of Emission Monitoring Requirements for the NOx Budget Program.''
Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed Title V/Operating Permits must submit the protest or comments within 30 days from the date of this notice. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed permits. Comments or protests filed at the above address must include 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 hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation, where the facility is located, at least 30 days prior to the date of the hearing.

Rush Township and Ryan Township,
Schuylkill CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has reviewed the Rush--Ryan Joint Act 537 Plan Amendment of 1998 (Plan), dated June 1998, adopted August 1998, as compiled by the Northeastern Schuylkill Joint Municipal Authority, on behalf of Rush Township and Ryan Township. The Department has found the Plan is acceptable and planning approval is hereby granted.
The Plan proposes to consolidate the Quakake and Tamanend sewage planning area (Area 1) as proposed in Rush Township's October 1993 Sewage Plan Revision, which was approved by the Department on December 14, 1993, with the Park Crest, Hosensock, Grier City and Barnesville planning area (Area 2) as proposed in the April 1995 Joint Sewage Plan Update, which was approved by the Department on July 12, 1995. Specifically, this Plan proposes the following changes to the previously approved Plans:
1. Elimination of the construction of a 0.090 million gallons per day (mgd) treatment plant in Rush Township for Area 1.
2. Elimination of the construction of a 0.175 mgd treatment plant at the Lakewood Site for Area 2.
3. Construction of a sewage conveyance system along State Route (S. R.) 53090 and S. R. 53040, to connect Area 1 to Area 2.
4. Construction of a 0.245 mgd treatment plant near the junction of S. R. 54 and Holly Road, to serve Area 1 and Area 2, with an outfall discharging into Pine Creek downstream of Sobolewski's pond.
In accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20(a)) (Act 537), and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 71, the Department will hold Rush Township and Ryan Township responsible for complete and timely implementation of this Plan according to the schedule contained therein.
This approval covers only the wastewater planning aspects of this project. Before construction of the proposed project may commence, one must obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit (NPDES Permit) and a Part II Water Quality Management Permit from the Department.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
Under Act 2, 1995
Preamble 4
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908) and Chapter 250 Administration of Land Recycling Program.
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8 Administration of Land Recycling Program requires the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its final actions on plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the Act 2 (Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act) remediation standards. Plans and reports required by provisions of Act 2 for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media, benefits of reuse of the property, and in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. A cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program in the Department's Regional Office under which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate Regional Office listed.
