40-329-001: Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Corp. (P. O. Box 1396, Houston, TX 77251-1396) for re-activation of an existing internal combustion engine at their facility in Buck Township, Luzerne County. The engine has been out of service for maintenance and has been retrofitted with Low Emission Combustion Technology (LEC) to reduce emissions while operational. The engine is manufactured by Cooper-Bessemer, model number 10V-250. The unit has a maximum rated capacity of 23.5 mmBtu/hr and can operate 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. The unit fires on natural gas only. Emissions from other sources at the facility will not increase from the re-activation of this source. NOx emissions will be limited to 2.9 g/hp-hr (21.74 lbs/hr). VOC emissions will not exceed 7.5 lbs/hr. The PM emissions shall not exceed 0.04 gr/dscf, under 25 Pa. Code § 123.13. The SO2 emissions in the effluent gas shall not exceed 500 ppmvd. The company currently has a Title V Permit 40-00002. The Operating Permit will include testing, monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements designed to keep the sources operating within all applicable air quality requirements. The 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.
Southwest Region: Air Quality Program, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745, Barbara Hatch, Facilities Permitting Chief, (412) 442-4174.
30-00072: Consol Pennsylvania Coal, Co. (1800 Washington Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15241-1421) for a renewal of their Title V operating permit. The most significant sources of emissions at the facility are two thermal dryers and the wash plant. Coal handling and processing also contribute to emissions. The facility is subject to Title V requirements because of its potential to emit NOx, SOx, CO, PM and VOC at the Bailey Mine Coal Preparation Plant in Richhill Township, Greene County.
Northwest Region: Air Quality Program, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481, Matthew Williams, Facilities Permitting Chief, (814) 332-6940.
