Notice of Intent to Issue a Plan Approval and Amend a Title V Operating Permit
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue two plan approvals to Southdown, Inc. (2001 Portland Park, Wampum, PA 16157), for their plant located in Wampum Borough, Lawrence County. The facility currently has a Title V permit No. 37-00013. The plan approvals will, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450, be incorporated into the Title V operating permit through an administrative amendment at a later date.
Plan approval No. PA37013A is for the installation of slag feed equipment and the incorporation of slag as a raw material. This construction will result in no emission increases at the facility. The construction of material handling equipment at a Portland Cement production facility is subject to Federal NESHAP requirements defined in 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LLL.
Plan approval No. PA37013A is for the installation of four baghouses on the existing clinker transfer system. The installation of the baghouses on the transfer system will result in a particulate matter reduction of 5.40 tons/year.
The Plan Approvals and Operating Permit will contain additional recordkeeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
REASONABLY AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
(RACT)
Proposed Revision to the State Implementation Plan for Plain'n Fancy Kitchens, Inc.
Heidelberg Township, Lebanon County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is proposing to amend its State Implementation Plan (SIP) by withdrawing the existing facility specific SIP revision and to issue a new Plan Approval for Plain'n Fancy Kitchens, Inc. at Oak Street and Route 501, Schaefferstown, PA 17088.
The Department issued an operating permit (38-318-019C) to Plain'n Fancy Kitchens, Inc. on December 23, 1994 limiting the facility's Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) emissions to less than 50 tons per year. Subsequently, U. S. EPA approved this Operating Permit on August 8, 1995, as a part of Pennsylvania's SIP. Plain'n Fancy Kitchens, Inc. submitted an application on May 10, 2000, to increase the facility's VOC emissions to 70 tons per year.
This proposal includes two actions: 1) Revocation of the existing facility specific SIP revision which limited the facility's VOC emissions to less than 50 tons per year of VOC. 2) Issuance of a new Plan Approval (38-02011). These actions do not adopt any new regulations.
The proposed Plan approval limits the facility's potential VOC emissions to 70 tons per year. Additional conditions require monitoring, testing, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements for the VOC sources at the facility. 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.
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposal. The hearing will be held on December 19, 2000, at the Schaefferstown Fire Company, Oak Street, Schaefferstown, PA 17087 from 1 p.m. until such a time as all scheduled comments on the proposal are received. The public is invited to comment on the proposed action and SIP revision revocation. Persons interested in commenting are invited to appear at the public hearing. Persons interested in submitting written comments should send their comments to Ranjan Roy, Air Quality Program, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110-8200 on or before December 29, 2000.
An appointment may be scheduled to review Plan Approval 38-02011A, and other pertinent documents at the Southcentral Regional Office by contacting Mary DiSanto at (717) 705-4732 between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.

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 such 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.

Where any of the mining activities listed below will have discharges of wastewater to streams, the Department will incorporate NPDES permits into the mining activity permits issued in response to these applications. These 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.
