Public Notice Wood-Mode, Inc. (One Second Street, Kreamer, PA 17833) has submitted an application (No. OP-55-0005B) to the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under section 127.11 of Chapter 127 of Article III of the Department's Rules and Regulations for approval to modify a wood cabinet molding/rail finishing operation in Middlecreek Township, Snyder County, by increasing its emission of volatile organic compounds such that the respective molding/rail finishing operation will no longer constitute an air contamination source of ''minor significance.'' Approval is also being requested to control the volatile organic compound emissions from the modified molding/rail finishing operation with a regenerative thermal oxidizer which is already in place at the respective facility for the control of volatile organic compound emissions from other air contamination sources.
Wood-Mode, Inc. is a major facility for which a Title V operating permit application (TVOP-55-00005) has been submitted but for which no Title V operating permit has yet been issued.
Information provided by Wood-Mode indicates that the modified molding/rail finishing operation will potentially emit up to 10.18 tons of volatile organic compounds per 12 consecutive month period, some of which will also constitute hazardous air pollutants. A preliminary review of this information by the Department indicates that the modified molding/rail finishing operation will meet all applicable air quality requirements including the best available technology requirements of sections 127.1 and 127.12 of Chapter 127 of Article III of the Department and Subpart JJ of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, 40 CFR 63.800--63.808. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to approve the application and issue plan approval for the proposed modification and thermal oxidizer use. If this plan approval is issued and if the modified molding/rail finishing operation is subsequently found to be in compliance with all conditions of the plan approval as well as all applicable regulatory requirements, the plan approval will be incorporated into an operating permit (either Operating Permit OP-55-0005 or a Title V operating permit) via administrative amendment in accordance with Section 127.450 of Chapter 127 of Article III of the Rules and Regulations of the Department.
In order to ensure compliance with all applicable standards, the Department proposes to place the following conditions in the respective plan approval.
1. This plan approval is issued for the modification of a wood cabinet molding/rail finishing operation incorporating a Delle Vedove model SLC/15 spray booth. Said modification is an increase in volatile organic compound emissions from the respective finishing operation such that the finishing operation no longer constitutes an air contamination source of ''minor significance.'' The volatile organic compound emissions from the modified finishing operation shall be controlled by an existing Salem 75-5V RTO regenerative thermal oxidizer. This plan approval is also issued for the installation of a Salem thermal oxidizer on the respective finishing operation.
2. Under the best available technology provisions of sections 127.1 and 127.12 of Chapter 127 of Article III of the Rules and Regulations of the Department, the Salem thermal oxidizer shall maintain a combustion chamber temperature of at least 1400°F, subject the air contaminant emissions to a residence time of at least 0.5 seconds and provide a volatile organic compound (VOC) destruction efficiency of at least 95% during all times that the respective molding/rail finishing operation is generating air contaminant emissions. Additionally, the thermal oxidizer shall be equipped with a continuous combustion chamber temperature monitoring and recording system.
3. Under the best available technology provisions of sections 127.1 and 127.12 of Chapter 127 of Article III of the Rules and Regulations of the Department, the air contaminant emissions from the respective molding/rail finishing operation shall be captured at an efficiency of at least 52% and ducted to the Salem thermal oxidizer. The Department reserves the right to require a greater capture efficiency should it be demonstrated that a greater capture efficiency is occurring.
4. Under the best available technology provisions of sections 127.1 and 127.12 of Chapter 127 of Article III of the Rules and Regulations of the Department, all finishing materials applied in the respective molding/rail finishing operation shall be applied via automatic air assisted airless spray guns.
5. Under the best available technology provisions of sections 127.1 and 127.12 of Chapter 127 of Article III of the Rules and Regulations of the Department, the VOC emissions (including those resulting from any associated cleanup activities) from the respective molding/rail finishing operation shall not exceed 10.18 tons per 12 consecutive month period (as determined by the Department). Additionally, the volatile organic compound emissions from the respective finishing operation shall not exceed 2.7 tons per 12 consecutive month period until such time as the finishing operation has been ducted to the Salem thermal oxidizer.
6. Under the best available technology provisions of sections 127.1 and 127.12 of Chapter 127 of Article III of the Rules and Regulations of the Department, all containers of VOC-containing materials (finishing and/or coating materials, cleaning solutions, and the like) shall be kept closed when not in actual use. Any cleaning, rags or cloths and the like containing VOC-containing materials shall be kept in closed containers when not in actual use. VOC-containing materials shall not be disposed of by evaporation. Cleaning, rags or cloths and the like with VOC-containing materials shall not be dried or otherwise treated or pretreated prior to reuse or removal from site by any means which is intended to promote the evaporative loss of contained VOCs into the atmosphere. Spray guns and lines shall not be cleaned by spraying solvent through the gun unless the gun is located within a spray booth which is ducted to the Salem thermal oxidizer.
7. This finishing operation shall comply with all applicable requirements of Subpart JJ of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, 40 CFR 63.800--64.808 (Hazardous Air Pollutant Emissions from Wood Furniture Manufacturing Operations), in accordance with such schedule as may be specified therein.
8. The company shall maintain comprehensive, accurate records of the identities, types (sealer, thinner, and the like), quantities, VOC contents, water content and content of each individual hazardous air pollutant of each VOC-containing material used in the respective finishing operation each month. The company shall submit the records generated under this condition to the Department on a quarterly basis by no later than the 30th day following the end of the quarter (reports due on January 30, April 30, July 30 and October 30). Additionally, these records shall be retained onsite for at least 5 years.
9. Within 180 days from the date the respective molding/rail finishing operation has been ducted to the Salem thermal oxidizer, the company shall perform testing to demonstrate compliance with the destruction efficiency and capture efficiency requirements specified in conditions 3 and 4 herein as well as to determine the capture efficiency for all other sources controlled by the Salem thermal oxidizer. This testing is to be performed in accordance with procedures which are acceptable to the Department while all of the sources controlled by the Salem thermal oxidizer are operating at maximum capacity and while coating or finishing material usage rates in all individual spray booths are being accurately monitored. A pretest plan or protocol shall be submitted to the Department at least 60 days in advance of the proposed test dates and two copies of a test report shall be submitted no more than 60 days after the performance of the testing. The pretest plan or protocol is to include a description of the proposed testing and analytical procedures to be used, a description of the procedures to be used to monitor the coating or finishing material usage in each booth during the testing and dimensioned sketches of the oxidizer inlet and outlet showing the test port locations. The test report is to include the test results, a description of the testing and analytical procedures actually used for the performance of the testing and all coating or finishing material usage data collected during the testing.
10.
