Notice of proposed revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for NOx and VOCs, notice of public hearing and notice of intent to issue revised air quality Title V Operating Permit 55-00005.
Under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.521 and 127.541, the Department intends to issue a revised Title V operating permit to Wood-Mode, Inc. located in Middlecreek Township, Snyder County. The Wood-Mode representative to contact regarding this application is Michael E. Ludecker, Manager of Safety and Environmental Services, One Second Street, Route 522, Kreamer, PA 17833.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.541, this Title V operating permit revision is to include Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) determinations made by the Department for three boilers at the Wood-Mode facility. In addition, this Title V operating permit revision will include the terms and conditions of plan approvals 55-302-005B and 55-302-005C for two boilers. The proposed Title V operating permit contains all applicable regulatory requirements including monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting conditions.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91--129.95, the Department has made a preliminary determination to approve an amendment of a RACT plan and an amendment to the SIP for a wood cabinet manufacturing facility owned and operated by Wood-Mode, Inc.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the amendment of the RACT approval for the facility, which are intended to comply with current regulations.
The preliminary RACT determination, if approved, will result in the revision of Title V operating permit 55-00005 issued on January 7, 2002, and will be submitted to the EPA as a revision to the Commonwealth's SIP.
The following is a summary of the preliminary RACT determination which the Department proposes to incorporate into Title V operating permit 55-00005, as a revision to that permit, for a 10.2 million Btu per hour woodwaste fired boiler (Boiler No. 1), a 32 million Btu per hour woodwaste and natural gas fired boiler (Boiler No. 3) and a 16.5 million Btu per hour natural gas fired boiler (Boiler No. 2):
1. All three boilers shall be operated in accordance with manufacturer's specifications and good air pollution control practices. Additionally, the permittee shall perform an annual inspection and tune-up on the two boilers which fire woodwaste (Boilers Nos. 1 and 3).
2. The VOC emissions from Boiler No. 1 shall not exceed 2.45 tons in any 12 consecutive month period, the VOC emissions from Boiler No. 2 shall not exceed .36 ton in any 12 consecutive month period and the VOC emissions from Boiler No. 3 shall not exceed .264 ton in any 12 consecutive month period.
3. Records shall be maintained of the amount of woodwaste burned each month in each of the two boilers which burn woodwaste (Boilers Nos. 1 and 3), the dates and results of the annual inspections and tune-ups performed on each of the respective two boilers, the amount of natural gas burned each month in Boiler No. 3, if any.
A public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed operating permit revision and the proposed SIP revision. The hearing will be held on December 3, 2002, at 1 p.m. at the Department's Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA. The public is invited to comment on the proposal. Persons interested in commenting are invited to appear at the public hearing.
Persons wishing to present testimony at the hearing should contact Daniel Spadoni at (570) 327-3659 at least 1 week in advance of the hearing to reserve a time to present testimony. Oral testimony will be limited to a maximum of 10 minutes per individual and two written copies of the oral testimony are requested. Each organization is requested to designate one witness to present testimony on its behalf.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to do so should contact Daniel Spadoni at (570) 327-3659 or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

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 before 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 certification.
Written comments, 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 will have discharges of wastewater to streams, the Department will incorporate NPDES permits into the mining activity permits issued in response to these applications. 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 previous, 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 previously-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.
