55-399-007: Kerrico Corp. (R. R. 1, Box 131H, Selinsgrove, PA 17870) for modification of a cast polymer bathroom and kitchen countertop manufacturing operation by increasing VOC emissions above 10 tons per year in Penn Township, Snyder County.
The respective facility is a major (Title V) facility for which a Title V operating permit has not yet been issued.
The respective facility is not expected to emit more than 38.53 tons of VOCs per year, of which no more than 36.12 tons will be HAPs, primarily styrene but also some methyl methacrylate. The facility is also not expected to emit more than 5.0 tons of acetone per year.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by Kerrico Corporation indicates that the facility should comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 and the requirements of Subpart WWWW of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, 40 CFR 63.5780--63.5935 (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Reinforced Plastic Composites Production). Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the modification of the cast polymer bathroom and kitchen countertop manufacturing operation.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable requirements:
1. The two gelcoat spray booths shall be equipped with a complete set of overspray filters any time the booths are in use and, additionally, shall be equipped with instrumentation to continuously monitor the pressure differential across the filters.
2. Gelcoat applied in the facility shall be applied in the two gelcoat spray booths with HVLP or high volume low pressure spray technology (or an application technique determined by the Department to have an equivalent, or lower, air contaminant emission potential) only. The air pressure of each HVLP spray system shall be set such that the air pressure at the tip of the spray gun is between .1 psig and 10.0 psig.
3. Each HVLP spray gun used at the facility shall be tested at least once each calendar quarter using ''test gauge air caps'' or ''air cap test kits'' to determine the air pressure at the tip of the gun.

18-315-0001A: First Quality Tissue, LLC (904 Woods Avenue, Lock Haven, PA 17745) for installation of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system incorporating a 2.0 mm/Btu per hour natural gas/propane-fired flue gas reheat burner, on seven 11.56 mm/Btu per hour natural gas/propane-fired boilers (and possibly on an eighth such boiler which is yet to be constructed) associated with a paper machine (Paper Machine No. 1) at a paper towel and tissue manufacturing facility in Castanea Township, Clinton County.
The respective facility is a major (Title V) facility for which a Title V operating permit has not yet been issued.
The proposed SCR system is intended to ensure that the NOx emissions from the boilers will comply with the emission limits established in Plan Approval 18-315-001 (issued by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) on August 20, 2004, under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) provisions of 40 CFR 52.21 and 25 Pa. Code § 127.83, the New Source Review (NSR) provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.201--127.217 and the best available technology provision of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. The respective NOx emission limits are 15 parts per million, dry volume basis at 3% oxygen, one hour average, 1.93 pounds per hour and 8.45 tons per 12-consecutive month period.
The Department's review of the information submitted by First Quality Tissue, LLC indicates that the proposed SCR system should be capable of ensuring compliance with the 15 ppm NOx emission limitation as well as with the revised hourly and 12 consecutive month period emission limitations of 1.69 pounds and 7.40 tons the Department proposes to establish for the boilers as a result of a proposed SCR system design which will, at any given time, accommodate only seven of the eight possible boilers to be associated with Paper Machine No. 1. The Department also proposes to similarly adjust the allowable hourly SOx emission limitation and allowable hourly and 12-consecutive month period CO, VOC and PM, including PM10 emission limitations for the boilers. These adjustments will result in decreases of 3.21, .22 and .27 ton per 12-consecutive month period in the allowable CO, VOC and PM/PM10 emissions from the boilers.
The use of a SCR system will result in the emission of a new air contaminant, ammonia. The ammonia emissions are not expected to be greater than 10 ppm, dry volume basis at 15% oxygen. The Department has determined that this level of emission complies with the BAT provision of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12.
Based on the finding discussed, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the installation of the SCR system on the boilers associated with Paper Machine No. 1.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable requirements:
1. Only seven of the eight boilers potentially associated with Paper Machine No. 1 shall be operated at any given time following the installation of the SCR system.
2. The burner incorporated in the SCR system shall be fired on natural gas or propane only.
3. The temperature of the boiler flue gas at the inlet to the catalyst incorporated in the SCR system shall be maintained between 400° and 500°F at any time any of the eight boilers are operating unless none of the eight boilers are being exhausted to the SCR system.
4. The SCR system shall be equipped with instrumentation to continuously monitor and record the temperature of the flue gas at the inlet of the catalyst as well as the ammonia injection rate and the boilers shall be equipped with instrumentation to continuously monitor and record their combined steam load. Records generated under this condition shall be retained for at least 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.
5. Following installation of the SCR system, the SCR system may be bypassed and the boilers exhausted directly to atmosphere only during periods of scheduled SCR system maintenance when the boilers are operating at low steam demand or during emergencies to prevent unsafe conditions. The NOx emission limitation, however, remains applicable at all times.
6. The ammonia emissions from the exhaust of the SCR system shall not exceed 10 ppm, dry volume basis at 15% oxygen.
7. Following the installation of the SCR system, the NOx emissions from the boilers, measured at the outlet of SCR system if the SCR system is in use and measured at the outlet of the boilers if the SCR system is not in use, shall not exceed 15 ppm, dry volume basis at 3% oxygen, one hour average, 1.69 pounds per hour, and 7.4 tons in any 12-consecutive month period, the CO emissions shall not exceed 100 ppm, dry volume basis at 3% oxygen, 6.48 pounds per hour and 28.37 tons in any 12 consecutive month period, the VOC emissions shall not exceed .45 pound per hour and 1.97 tons in any 12 consecutive month period, the SOx emissions shall not exceed .054 pound per hour and .24 ton in any 12-consecutive month period and the PM emissions (including PM10) shall not exceed .59 pound per hour and 2.58 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
8. Within 120 days of completion of installation of the SCR system, the permittee shall perform NOx CO and VOC stack testing on the exhaust of the SCR system while the boilers are operating at their normal maximum rate of production as well as on the exhaust of the boilers when the SCR system is not being used and the boilers are operating at the maximum steam load considered by the permittee to be the ''low steam load'' at which the boilers will operate during scheduled SCR maintenance. A test protocol shall be submitted to the Department at least 60 days prior to the performance of this testing.
The permittee shall additionally perform such other stack testing as may be required to calibrate the SCR system or which may be deemed necessary by the Department to determine compliance with any emission limitation contained herein or in Plan Approval 18-315-001.
9. Within 120 days of completion of installation of the SCR system, and at least annually thereafter, the permittee shall calibrate the system in accordance with procedures which have been approved by the Department to ensure that the NOx and ammonia emission rates will not exceed the NOx and ammonia limitations specified at any boiler steam load or ammonia injection rate. A protocol for performing this calibration shall be submitted to the Department at least 60 days in advance of each occurrence of calibration.
10. Comprehensive accurate records shall be maintained of the following during each period of scheduled SCR system maintenance during which the boilers are exhausted directly to atmosphere:
a. The date and time the maintenance was commenced.
b. The date and time the maintenance was completed.
c. The combined boiler steam load. This information is to be recorded at least once per hour for the duration of the maintenance period.
