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 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.
PLAN APPROVALS
Plan Approval Applications Received under the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001--4015) and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter B that may have special public interest. These applications are in review and no decision on disposition has been reached.

Box 1189, York, PA 17404) for installation of a regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) on Tunnel Kilns TK5 and TK6 in their West Manchester Township, York County facility. The RTO will reduce VOC emissions by an estimated 90 tons per year. This plan approval will include monitoring, record keeping and reporting requirements designed to keep the sources operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
Northwest Region: Air Quality Program, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481, Devendra Verma, New Source Review Chief, (814) 332-6940.
33-033C: Owens Brockway Glass Container (Cherry Street, Brockway, PA 15824) for modification of Plan Approval 33-033B in Brockway, Jefferson County. This is a Title V Facility. The public notice is required for sources required to obtain a Plan Approval at Title V facilities in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.44. 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. 33-033C is for the modification of the applied ceramic labeling (ACL) plan approval 33-033B. The plan approval was originally issued on July 31, 2003, and required installation of afterburners to control particulate emissions from the process. The new plan approval removes the previous limits on the afterburner temperatures and requires a stack tests to verify continued compliance with particulate emissions and establishment of new minimum afterburner temperatures. The applicant will be required to comply with the outlet particulate emission rate of 0.02 gr/dscf. In addition to the emission testing and monitoring afterburner temperatures, the applicant will be required to conduct daily observations to detect abnormal visible emissions and EPA Method 9 visible emission observations when abnormal visible emissions are detected. The Plan Approval and Operating Permit will contain additional recordkeeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
