PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS
NEW 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.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Office identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate Regional Office to schedule an appointment.
Persons wishing to receive a copy of the proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit must indicate their interest to the Department Regional Office within 30 days of the date of this notice and must file protests or comments on a Proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed document to that person or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. 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 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 the date of the hearing.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the Regional Office identified. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
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.

Code §§ 127.44 and 127.83 and 40 CFR 52.21(l)(2) and (q) in the City of Warren, Warren County. The facility currently has a Title V permit No. 62-017G. This plan approval 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. 62-017G is necessary to achieve compliance with the Compliance Plan for Low Sulfur Gasoline approved by the EPA on November 16, 2001. The project covers the Phases II and III of the Compliance Plan and will reduce sulfur in gasoline and diesel fuels. The project includes installation of a Delayed Coker, Material Handling of the Coke, an FCC Hydrotreater, Hydrogen Reformer, Hydrogen Flare, SRU3/ARU3 (Sulfur Recovery Unit 3/Amine Regeneration Unit 3), Pit Flare and modification of the North Crude Heater with installation of Low NOx Burners (LNB). The existing tail gas treatment unit (TGTU) will be modified to accommodate the increased throughput. The trays in the quench tower will be modified, piping will be modified, heat transfer and pump modifications will also occur. The SRU2 (existing) will not be modified and will continue feeding the TGTU. The new SRU3 will feed the TGTU in parallel with the SRU2. The refinery upgrade project will allow United to produce lower sulfur fuels while increasing crude capacity by 5,000 barrels per day (bpd) and allow for the processing of heavier asphaltic crudes. Applicable requirements for the proposed application include the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) regulations (40 CFR 52.21). This plan approval 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.
NOx and CO emissions will increase by 36.2 TPY and 223.6 TPY, respectively, from the 2000/2001 baseline emissions. VOC, Total Suspended Particulates (TSP), PM10 and SO2 emissions will decrease by 26.7 TPY, 15.7 TPY, 22.6 TPY and 498 TPY, respectively, from the 2000/2001 baseline emissions.

55. The Department shall administratively amend the owner/operators Title V Operating Permit No. TV-00017 to authorize operation of the sources after startup. Issuance of an operating permit is contingent upon satisfactory compliance with Conditions 1--54, upon the source being constructed and operated as stated on the application and upon the satisfactory demonstration that the emissions from the source will not be in violation of applicable rules and regulations of the Department.
56. Information required to be submitted as part of the conditions should be submitted to Devendra Verma, New Source Review Chief, Air Quality, 230 Chestnut St., Meadville, PA 16335.
The Department has determined that the application reflects the use of Best Available Control Technology, as required by the PSD regulations.
The facility will trigger PSD for CO pollutant only. One year of site-specific surface meteorological data was used in the model. Data was collected at two levels, 30 meters and 70 meters, from August 1, 1988, through July 31, 1989. The data collected at 30 meters was used in this analysis because it more closely represents the release heights of United's sources. The 30-meter data included temperature, wind direction, wind speed and sigma-theta. Stability class was calculated from the sigma-theta data. Mixing heights were derived from upper air data collected at Pittsburgh International Airport, located approximately 175 kilometers southwest of United.
The preliminary analysis predicts the maximum CO impacts to be below the Class II area significance levels. This is sufficient to demonstrate that the proposed modification will not cause or contribute to a violation of the CO NAAQS. A ''full'' impact NAAQS demonstration is therefore not necessary. There is no increment standard for CO. The results of the CO preliminary analysis are presented in the following table.
Preliminary Analysis Results for CO
Pollutant Averaging Period Highest Modeled Impact Class II Area Significance Level µg/m3 µg/m3 CO 1 hour 804.7 2,000 8 hour 352.6 500 No visibility impairment analysis was performed since CO is not associated with degradation in visibility. No significant impact on soils and vegetation is anticipated. There is no expected impact on air quality from residential, commercial and industrial growth associated with the project.
A Class I Area impact analysis was not necessary since the nearest Federal Class I Area is over 300 km away and beyond the generally accepted range of CALPUFF, the recommended long-range transport model.
The Department has made a preliminary determination to approve the plans submitted by United Refining Company subject to the conditions listed. A final determination will be made based on additional inputs received.
The Department will consider written comments received within 30 days of the publication of this notice. Persons may oppose this preliminary determination by filing a written notice with the Department of Environmental Protection, Air Quality Program, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, Attn.: Devendra Verma.
Each protest shall include the name, address and telephone number of the person filing each protest; identification of the proposed plan approval issuance being opposed; and a concise statement of the reasons for objection to the issuance of the plan approval and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based.
Copies of the application and the modeling analysis used in the evaluation are available for public inspection between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA. Appointments for scheduling a review may be made by calling Linda Conway, (814) 332-6340.
If sufficient public interest is generated, the Department, prior to the issuance of the plan approvals may in its discretion, hold a public meeting or fact-finding conference, at which time persons may appear and give testimony. If it is decided to hold a public hearing, a notice to this effect shall be published in the local newspaper giving the place and time of a hearing.
For any additional information, contact Devendra Verma or Larry Wonders at (814) 332-6940 or write to the Department at the Meadville address previously given.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to do so should contact the Department or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
If a plan approval has not undergone the public notice process, the change to an operating permit must be treated as a significant modification. In these situations the Department should follow the procedures described in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.421--127.431 for State-only operating permits or 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.521--127.524 for Title V operating permits.
