OPERATING PERMITS
Intent to Issue Title V Operating Permits under the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001--4015) and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G.
Southeast Region: Air Quality Program, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401, Edward Jurdones Brown, Facilities Permitting Chief, (484) 250-5920.
15-00045: Sealed Air Corp. (22 Meredith Court, Modena, PA 19358) for renewal of the Title V Operating Permit in Modena Borough, Chester County. The initial permit was issued on June 1, 2001. The facility is primarily used for recycling corrugated scrap paper to rolls of crepe paper. A 46 million Btu/hr boiler provides the steam that is necessary for the process. As a result of potential emissions of NOx, the facility is a major stationary source as defined in Title I, Part D of the Clean Air Act Amendments, and is therefore subject to the Title V permitting requirements adopted in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G. The proposed Title V Operating Renewal does not adopt any new regulations and does not reflect any change in air emissions from the facility. The facility is not subject to Compliance Assurance Monitoring under 40 CFR Part 64. The renewal contains all applicable requirements including monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting.
46-00081: Markel Corp. (435 School Lane, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462) for renewal of the Title V Operating Permit in Plymouth Township, Montgomery County. The initial permit was issued on 10-25-2001.

This permit is requested for a flood protection project in and along approximately 2,040 linear feet (approximately 1.8 acres) of a UNT (intermittent flow through 1,795 feet of buried culvert and 245 feet of open channel) to Moshannon Creek. See the USGS ''Houtzdale'' Quadrangle, North 18.8 inches, West 2.3 inches. The following activities are associated with the construction of this project:
* Remove approximately 1,960 feet of existing undersized and dilapidated culvert (locally known as 'the canal') from a point 40 feet upstream of 2nd Avenue to a point 120 feet downstream of Logan Street.
* At the upstream end of the project (between the SR 53 culvert outlet and 2nd Avenue), construct 80 feet of 7-foot-wide by 5-foot-high cast-in-place concrete rectangular channel.
* Through the middle of the project (between 2nd Avenue and Logan Street), install 1,795 feet of 6-foot-wide by 4 1/2-foot-high precast concrete box culvert.
* At the downstream end of the project (between Logan Street and Moshannon Creek), construct 140 feet of 6-foot-wide by 2-foot-high cast-in-place concrete rectangular channel with stone riprap slope protection extending from the tops of the walls up to the surrounding ground surface, followed by 25 feet of 6-foot-base-width trapezoidal stone riprap channel to Moshannon Creek.
* Other work includes connecting existing street drains to the new culvert, adjusting existing sanitary sewer lines that conflict with project construction, restoring road pavements that have been removed or damaged during construction, and grading and seeding all areas that have been disturbed during construction.
Anticipated construction time is 10 months.
E3514-001, Department of General Services, Bureau of Engineering and Architecture, 18th and Herr Streets, Harrisburg, PA 17125, Meadow Brook Flood Control Project, City of Scranton, Lackawanna County, USACOE Baltimore District.
This notice is a request to reissue a permit for a flood protection project in and along approximately 3,524 linear feet (approximately 4.5 acres) of Meadow Brook. Permit No. E35-356, which was previously issued for this work, inadvertently expired December 31, 2005. The project begins 180 feet upstream of Green Ridge Street (USGS ''Scranton'' Quadrangle, North 9.5 inches, West 3.2 inches) and extends to Meadow Brook's confluence with the Lackawanna River (USGS ''Scranton'' Quadrangle, North 9.0 inches, West 4.6 inches).
In November 2005, under a Federal contract, the United States Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District, began construction of an earthen levee flood protection project along the east bank of the Lackawanna River. That work is scheduled to be complete in March 2007. Since the levee system will cross the Meadow Brook outfall, the pipe sections at the outfall of the state's Meadow Brook project must be installed before the Corps can extend their levee across and beyond Meadow Brook. Therefore, it is imperative that the Meadow Brook project begins as soon as possible. Delays in starting construction of the Meadow Brook project will almost certainly result in delays and cost increases in the Corps project.
The following activities are associated with the Meadow Brook project:
* Remove existing culverts and stream enclosures along a 3,524-foot reach of Meadow Brook.
* Construct and maintain a 16-foot long concrete transition culvert between the upstream end existing culvert and a new 10-foot wide by 7-foot high concrete box culvert.
* Construct and maintain 1,806 linear feet of 10-foot-wide by 7-foot high concrete box culvert.
* Construct and maintain 231 linear feet of 10-foot wide by 7-foot high concrete open channel.
* Construct and maintain a 14-foot long concrete transition structure between the 10-foot wide by 7-foot high concrete open channel and a new 10.5-foot diameter concrete pipe culvert.
* Install and maintain 360 linear feet of 10.5-foot diameter concrete pipe culvert.
* Construct and maintain a 22-foot long concrete transition culvert between the 10.5-foot diameter concrete pipe culvert and a new 12-foot wide by 8.5-foot high concrete box culvert.
* Construct and maintain 188 linear feet of 12-foot wide by 8.5-foot high concrete box culvert.
* Construct and maintain a 22-foot long concrete transition culvert between the 12-foot wide by 8.5-foot high concrete box culvert and a new 12-foot diameter concrete pipe culvert.
* Install and maintain 814 linear feet of 12-foot diameter concrete pipe culvert. At pipe outlet, construct and maintain concrete end walls and a 53-foot long grouted R-7 riprap apron.
* Construct and maintain approximately 11 stormwater outfall penetrations varying in size from 18-inch diameter to 48-inch diameter at various locations along the flood control project.
Anticipated construction time is 18 months.
