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 a proposed plan approval or operating permit must indicate 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 a proposed plan approval and operating permit. 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 (act) and regulations adopted under the act.

46-0033: Waste Management Disposal Services of Pennsylvania, Inc. (1425 Sell Road, Pottstown, PA 19464). The Department will correct the hourly and annual emission limit for NOx of the Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) permit, OP-46-0033, as an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the facility in West Pottsgrove Township, Montgomery County and Douglass Township, Berks County. This correction does not change the RACT determination for the source of a NOx concentration of 42 parts per million parts by volume. The increase in emissions is a result of a correction to the calculation. The revised RACT permit will be submitted to the EPA as a revision to the Pennsylvania SIP.
1. Proposed revision to the SIP for NOx.
2. Administrative amendment to a Title V operating permit.
3. Revision to RACT plan.
Summary of the revision:
Implementation Source Potential to Emit Control Device Schedule Turbines (two) 42 ppmv of NOx
(15% oxygen, dry basis)
9.0 lbs/hr
Annual tune-up or
adjustmentImplemented 24.77 tons per year
(each turbine)
4. Notice of an administrative amendment to a Title V operating permit.
Notice is given, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.462(c) and 127.521, to incorporate an administrative amendment into the existing Title V Operating Permit TVOP-46-00033. This permit is being amended to incorporate the following changes of the amended RACT Operating Permit OP 46-0033:
(1) Superceding 46-322-009.
(2) Inclusion of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart WWW, Standards of Performance for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills.
(3) Revision of the RACT, which includes changing the NOx emission limits for each of the two gas turbines by an additional 4.25 pounds per hour and 3.97 tons per year on a 12-month rolling basis. This will result in a new emission limit for each of the gas turbines of 9.0 pounds per hour and 24.77 tons per year on a 12-month rolling basis. This amended Title V Operating Permit will contain requirements to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements, but does not include the landfill's Eastern Expansion, which currently operates under Plan Approval 46-322-007.

Initial requests for 401 Water Quality Certification will be published concurrently with the permit application. Persons objecting to approval of a request for certification under section 401 of the FWPCA, the issuance of a Dam Permit or Water Obstruction and Encroachment Permit or the approval of an Environmental Assessment must submit comments, suggestions or objections within 30 days of the date of this notice, as well as any questions, to the office noted before the application. Comments should contain the name, address and telephone number of the person commenting, identification of the certification request to which the comments or objections are addressed and a concise statement of comments, objections or suggestions including the relevant facts upon which they are based.
The Department may conduct a fact-finding hearing or an informal conference in response to comments if deemed necessary.
