Intent to Issue Operating Permits under the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001--4015) and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter F.
Southcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, Ronald Davis, New Source Review Chief, (717) 705-4702.
07-05040: Lumax Industries, Inc. (P. O. Box 991, Chestnut and Fourth Street, Altoona, PA 16603) for operation of their manufacturing facility in the City of Altoona, Blair County. The facility has the potential to emit 90 tons per year of VOCs and 20 tons per year of hazardous air pollutants. The facility-wide (State-only) operating permit will limit volatile organic compound emissions to less than 30 tons per year, single hazardous air pollutant emissions to less than 10 tons per year and combined hazardous air pollutant emissions to less than 25 tons per year. The operating permit shall contain testing, monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements, emission restrictions and work practice standards designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701 Contact: David Aldenderfer, Program Manager, (570) 327-3637.
53-00012: Patterson Lumber Co., Inc. (92 West Street, Galeton, PA 16922-0235) for operation of a sawmill facility in West Branch Township, Potter County.
The facility incorporates a 16 mmBtu per hour wood-fired boiler, a 9.6 mmBtu per hour natural gas-fired boiler, 12 lumber kilns and 4 lumber predryers, various pieces of sawmill and other woodworking equipment and lumber marking and end sealing operations. The PM emissions from the wood-fired boiler are controlled by a multicyclone collector and the particulate matter emissions from some of the sawmill and other woodworking equipment are controlled by two fabric collectors. The air contaminant emissions from the facility are not expected to exceed 22.98 tons of PM (including PM10), 27.15 tons of NOx, 44.88 tons of CO, 12.03 tons of VOCs, 1.0 ton of volatile hazardous air pollutants and .49 ton of SOx per year.
The respective facility is not a major (Title V) facility for any air contaminant.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to incorporate into the operating permit to be issued conditions requiring compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to the emission of air contaminants as well as the conditions previously existing in Operating Permit 53-302-002A issued on June 22, 1995, for the facility's wood-fired boiler. These previously-existing conditions include a requirement that the particulate matter emissions from the wood-fired boiler be controlled by a multicyclone at all times.
The Department additionally proposes to incorporate into the operating permit to be issued a condition limiting the particulate matter emissions from one of the facility's two fabric collectors to .01 grain per dry standard cubic foot of effluent gas volume, a condition limiting the VOC and volatile hazardous air pollutant emissions resulting from the use of lumber marking paint to 10.0 and 1.0 tons, respectively, in any 12 consecutive month period, a condition limiting the materials to be used for end sealing lumber to materials which contain no VOCs or volatile hazardous air pollutants and conditions requiring the maintenance of records of the amount of lumber processed through the kilns and predryers each month as well as the identity and amount of lumber end sealing and lumber marking materials used each month.
41-00066: Sunoco, Inc.--R and M (Post Road and Blueball Avenue, Marcus Hook, PA 19061) to operate a soil vapor extraction system and associated biofilter at their former Atlantic Terminal in Armstrong Township, Lycoming County.
The soil vapor extraction system is used to remove petroleum products vapors from soil. The air contaminant emissions from the soil vapor extraction system are controlled by a biofilter. The resultant VOC emissions to the atmosphere are not expected to exceed 3.6 tons per year, a portion of which will also be hazardous air pollutants.
The respective facility is not a major (Title V) facility for any air contaminant.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to incorporate into the operating permit to be issued conditions requiring compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to the emission of air contaminants as well as the conditions previously established in Plan Approval 41-330-004 issued by the Department on December 2, 2003. These previously-established conditions include requirements that the biofilter contain at least 213 cubic yards of bed material, have a bed surface area of at least 900 square feet and handle no more than 600 cubic feet per minute of gases at any time, a requirement that the VOC destruction efficiency of the biofilter be at least 92% (by weight), a requirement that the resultant VOCs emissions to the atmosphere be no greater than 3.6 tons in any 12 consecutive month period and a requirement that the biofilter inlet gas flow, influent gas humidity, bed temperature, inlet air contaminant concentration, outlet air contaminant concentration and visual bed appearance be monitored and recorded at least twice per month and the data reported to the Department on a monthly basis.
