AIR QUALITY
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.
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.

PA No. 66-315-035C: The Proctor and Gamble Paper Products Co. (P. O. Box 32, Mehoopany, PA 18629-0032) for modification of two paper machines in Washington Township, Wyoming County.
The Procter and Gamble Paper Products Company submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) an application for approval for a modification to an existing plan approval issued for the construction and operation of two paper machines. The proposed change would occur at their sources in Washington Township, Wyoming County. The application was submitted pursuant to 25 Pa. Code § 127.11 and has been reviewed in accordance with all applicable air quality regulations.
The company proposes to rebuild both paper machines by removing the two CPD dryers and installing one LFSR (Low Flow Suction Roll--vacuum drying) and two 7-foot diameter predryers (through-air drying). There are no changes planned for the burners and firing rates will remain well below the currently permitted levels. There are no emission increases anticipated with this hot air delivery systems change. Proposed modification and changes are not subject to the requirement of PSD regulations. A preliminary review of the information submitted by The Procter & Gamble Paper Products Company indicates that the construction and operation of the proposed two paper machines will meet all applicable air quality requirements. Based upon these findings, the Department plans to approve the application and issue a permit for the modification of two paper machines.
The information provided by the applicant and Department's own analysis indicates that after modification of paper machine, emissions from these paper machines will remain the same as previously approved. Particulate emissions will be 54.9 tpy; CO emissions will be 306 tpy; VOCs will be 380.2 tpy; and NOx emissions will be 206.9 tpy. The emissions of these pollutants are within all applicable emissions limitations and will not cause an exceedance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. No net increase will occur from this project, therefore, the modification is not subject to the NSR requirement.
To assure compliance with the applicable standards, the Department will place the following conditions on the plan approval.
1. Stack test shall be performed in accordance with the provisions of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 139 of the Rules and Regulations of the Department to show compliance with the applicable standards.
2. NOx emissions from boilers Nos. 1, 2 and 4 shall be recorded continuously.
Persons wishing to provide the Department with additional information they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of the Plan Approval may submit the information to the address that follows. Each written comment shall include the following:
1. Name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comment.
2. Identification of the proposed Plan Approval No. 66-315-035C.
3. Concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or any objections to issuance of the Plan Approval.
Request for a public fact finding conference or hearing may also be made by writing the Department at the address shown as follows. A public conference may be held if the Department in its discretion decides that a conference is warranted on the basis of the information received. Persons who have submitted comments or have requested a conference will be notified of the decision to hold a conference by publication in a newspaper or in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, or by telephone, when the Department determines notification by telephone is sufficient. Comments and requests must be received by the Department no later than 30 days after final publication date.

61-004C: Electralloy (175 Main Street, Oil City, PA 16301) for the addition of a Praxair CoJetTM gas injection system on the EAF in the Borough of Oil City, Venango County.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a plan approval for their plant in the Borough of Oil City, Venango County. The facility currently has a Title V permit which was issued October 31, 2002. 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.
This application is for the addition of a Praxair CoJetTM gas injection system on the EAF. This system utilizes burners that will add natural gas, oxygen and an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon into the EAF. It is projected that the addition of gases into the furnace will increase the potential exhaust by upwards of 3,000 scfm. There will also be potential temperature increases caused by the addition of oxygen and natural gas. The maximum rated capacity of the furnace will not increase. The Plan Approval will require three valid emission tests with and without the Co-Jet burner. If the stack testing indicates that emissions have not increased with the addition of the Co-Jet burner, the Department will let the Plan Approval expire and the Co-Jet burner will be considered an exempted source. If the results of the stack testing show that the emission rates of pollutants with the Co-Jet burner on are significantly higher than with the Co-Jet burner off, emission limits will be established for those pollutants.
