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.

49-00005B: Hoeganaes Corp. (1001 Taylors Lane, Cinnaminson, NJ 08077) for their facility in Delaware Township, Northumberland County. The respective facility is a major facility for which a Title V operating permit (TVOP 49-00005) has been issued. The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a plan approval to authorize the applicant to modify a fluidized bed metal powder coating system and associated equipment (insulated particles process ) identified in TVOP 49-00005 as Source ID P102. The respective modification is an increase in the amount of methylene chloride emitted from the IPP and the resulting process modifications (controls, monitoring, recordkeepin and reporting) specified herein.
Under the best available technology provisions in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the methylene chloride emissions from the IPP are being controlled by a combination of carbon adsorption, closed loop condensation and a leak detection and repair program (LDAR).
This modification will result in up to 28 tons of methylene chloride emissions in any 12 consecutive month period.
The maximum 1-hour ambient concentration of methylene chloride is projected to be 5,834 micrograms per cubic meter (short-term exposure limit is 10,851 micrograms per cubic meter), 69 meters from the source (at the facility fence line). Hoeganaes used the SCREEN3 (version 96043) model to predict the maximum 1-hour risk threshold.
The Department's review of the information contained in the application indicates that the IPP, as proposed, will comply with all applicable requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department intends to approve the application and issue plan approval for the proposed modification.
The Department proposes to place in the plan approval the following conditions to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. Under the best available technology provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the methylene chloride emissions (including point source emissions and fugitive emissions) from the IPP shall not exceed 30.47 pounds per ton of production on a monthly average basis.
2. Under the best available technology provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the methylene chloride emissions (including point source emissions and fugitive emissions) from the IPP shall not exceed 28 tons in any 12 consecutive month period.
