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 the 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 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. 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 before the application. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

This project will emit up to 1,476 tons of nitrogen oxides, 1,833 tons of SOx, 2,464 tons of CO, 100.4 tons of PM, including PM10, 48.45 tons of VOCs, 234.33 tons of hydrochloric acid and 172.13 tons of ammonia in any 12 consecutive month period.
This project is subject to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.81--127.83 and 40 CFR 52.21 for CO. In addition, evaluation of the proposed ''alternate scenario'' where only one lime kiln (kiln 6) would be constructed and three existing lime kilns at the Pleasant Gap site would not be shutdown, concluded that the potential emission of SO2 would also exceed the significance threshold and would therefore be subject to the PSD requirements. In the case of the first scenario, where both lime kilns (kilns 6 and 7) are proposed to be constructed, seven existing lime kilns will be shutdown, including the three Pleasant Gap kilns. The Department has determined that the proposed level of CO and SO2 emission control will satisfy the Best Available Control Technology requirement of these regulations and that the emission of these air contaminants will not endanger the maintenance of any applicable National Ambient Air Quality Standard or result in the consumption of more ambient increment than is available in the Spring Township area.
The maximum annual SO2 ambient concentration is projected to be 57.4 micrograms per cubic meter (standard is 80 micrograms per cubic meter), the maximum 24-hour SO2 ambient concentration is projected to be 331.6 micrograms per cubic meter (standard is 365 micrograms per cubic meter), the maximum 3-hour SO2 ambient concentration is projected to be 1,250 micrograms per cubic meter (standard is 1,300 micrograms per cubic meter), the maximum 8-hour CO ambient concentration is projected to be 4,946.5 micrograms per cubic meter (standard is 10,000 micrograms per cubic meter) and the maximum 1-hour CO ambient concentration is projected to be 13,973.1 micrograms per cubic meter (standard is 40,000 micrograms per cubic meter). The total amount of increment consumed at the respective site, including the impact of kiln 6, is projected to be 9.5 micrograms per cubic meter of the 20 micrograms per cubic meter of total allowable annual SO2 increment, 89.9 micrograms per cubic meter of the 91 micrograms per cubic meter of the total allowable 24-hour SO2 increment and 479.6 micrograms per cubic meter of the 512 total allowable 3-hour SO2 increment. This will leave 10.5 micrograms per cubic meter of annual SO2 increment, 1.1 micrograms per cubic meter of 24-hour SO2 increment and 32.4 micrograms per cubic meter of 3-hour SO2 increment available for future industrial, and the like, growth in the Spring Township area.
According to 40 CFR 52.21(l)(2), an alternative to the air quality models specified in 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix W (relating to Guideline on Air Quality Models) may be used to model air quality if the EPA approves the substitute model. Use of the substituted model must also be subject to notice and an opportunity for public comment.
As an alternative to EPA Guideline Models, AERMOD Version 02222 was used in the air quality analysis for the proposed Graymont facility. Specific approval for the use of AERMOD Version 02222 in this analysis was granted by the EPA Region III Administrator and was consistent with the recommendations under section 3.2 of 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix W. The Department is expressly requesting written comments on AERMOD Version 02222, the EPA-approved substitute model used for the lime kiln project. Under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44 and 127.83 and 40 CFR 52.21(l)(2) and (q), notice is given that the Department is soliciting written comments on the use of the nonguideline model, AERMOD Version 02222, approved by the EPA.
The PSD regulations also require an analysis of the impact of the facility's projected SO2 and CO emissions on visibility, soils and vegetation. The Department has determined that there will be no adverse impact on local visibility and minimal impacts on soil and vegetation.
The Department's review of the information contained in the application indicates that the two new lime kilns and associated equipment and control devices will comply with all applicable requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the PSD requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.81--127.83 and 40 CFR 52.21, the best available technology (BAT) requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, Subpart AAAAA of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Lime Manufacturing, Subpart HH of the Federal Standards of Performance for Lime Manufacturing Plants, Subpart OOO of the Federal Standards of Performance for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing Plants and Subpart Y of the Federal Standards of Performance for Coal Preparation Plants.
