35-322-010A: Alliance Sanitary Landfill, Inc. (398 South Keyser Avenue, Taylor, PA 18517) for several administrative changes to the conditions of an issued plan approval No. 35-322-010. The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has approved and issued a Plan approval No. 35-322-010, dated July 7, 2009, with conditions for the installation and operation of two (2) enclosed landfill gas flares and one (1) open candle flare. Subsequent to the issuance of the Plan Approval, the company has discussed the conditions of the Plan Approval with the Department and has requested administrative changes to the conditions to improve the clarity of the conditions and its consistency with the Department's BAT guidance. This action does not represent any additional waste being introduced into the landfill, or an expansion of the landfill, merely the administrative changes in permit conditions. No additional gas is being generated since the gas generation is based on the size and volume of the landfill. The company has proposed no other changes. Alliance Sanitary Landfill is a major facility subject to Title V permitting requirements. The volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from the landfill will be controlled by enclosed landfill gas flares and will continue to be less than 50 tons per year. The Plan Approval and Operating Permit will contain additional recordkeeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.

(5160 Main Street, Whitehall, PA 18052) for installation and operation of a Dry Absorbent Addition (DAA) system and a Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) system for the control of SO2 and NOX emissions from Kiln Nos. 2 and 3 at the facility in Whitehall Township, Lehigh 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 No. 39-309-076 to Lafarge North America, Inc., 5160 Main Street, Whitehall, PA 18052, for their plant located in Whitehall Township, Lehigh County. The facility currently operates under Title V Operating Permit No. 39-00011. This plan approval will be incorporated into the Title V Operating Permit through an administrative amendment at a later date, and the action will be published as a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
Plan Approval No. 39-309-076 is for the installation and operation of a Dry Absorbent Addition (DAA) system and a Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) system for the control of SO2 and NOx emissions from Kiln Nos. 2 and 3 at the facility. The proposed changes do not physically alter the kilns in any way, do not impact kiln production capacity, and do not result in an increase in kiln production or emissions. The proposed changes will enable the installation of additional kiln air pollution control equipment and implement enforceable reductions in sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from each kiln. The company will be limited to the following emissions limitations after installation of these systems.
Kiln No. 2 Kiln No. 3 Facility-Wide 30-Day Rolling Average 30-Day Rolling Average 12-Month Rolling Average NOx 2.58 lb/ton of clinker 2.92 lb/ton of clinker 2.03 lb/ton of clinker SO2 4.06 lb/ton of clinker 3.19 lb/ton of clinker 2.59 lb/ton of clinker
The proposed SNCR and DAA systems will be operated to comply with the above emissions limitations. The Plan Approval and Operating Permit will contain additional recordkeeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating in compliance with all applicable air quality requirements.
Copies of the application, Department analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at the Department's Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711.

In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44—127.46, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue Air Quality Plan Approval: PA-32-00393B to allow the continued construction and initial operation of a specialty steel plant located in Center Township, Indiana County. The facility will produce up to 55,000 tons of metal ingots annually. Air contamination sources proposed at the facility include four electric induction furnaces, one argon-oxygen decarburization (AOD) vessel, four natural gas-fired annealing boxes, two natural gas-fired ladle pre-heaters, ingot and pig pouring, slag handling, and a parts washer.

COAL AND NONCOAL MINING ACTIVITY APPLICATIONS Applications under the Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1396.1—1396.19a); the Noncoal Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 3301—3326); The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001); the Coal Refuse Disposal Act (52 P. S. §§ 30.51—30.66); The Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1406.1—1406.21). Mining activity permits issued in response to such applications will also address the applicable permitting requirements of the following statutes: the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001—4015); the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P. S. §§ 693.1—693.27); and the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101—6018.1003).
The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). A copy of the application is available for inspection at the District Mining Office indicated above each application. Where a 401 Water Quality Certification is needed for any aspect of a particular proposed mining activity, the submittal of the permit application will serve as the request for the certification.
Written comments or objections, or requests for an informal conference, or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application may be submitted by any person or any officer or head of any Federal, State or local government agency or authority to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated above each application within 30 days of this publication, or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.121—77.123 and 86.31—86.34.
Written comments or objections related to a mining permit application should contain the name, address and telephone number of persons submitting comments or objections; application number; and a statement of sufficient detail to inform the Department on the basis of comment or objection and relevant facts upon which it is based.
Requests for an informal conference, or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.123 or 86.34, must contain the name, address and telephone number of the requestor; the application number; a brief summary of the issues to be raised by the requestor at the conference; and a statement whether the requestor desires to have the conference conducted in the locality of the proposed mining activities.
When a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) number is listed, the mining activity permit application was accompanied by an application for an individual NPDES permit. The Department has made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the mining activity permit, but the issuance of the NPDES permit is contingent upon the approval of the associated mining activity permit.
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that do not exceed the technology-based effluent limitations. The proposed limits are listed in Table 1.
For noncoal mining activities, the proposed limits are found in Table 2. Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description below specifies the parameters. The limits will be in the ranges specified in Table 1.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume, or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur, will be incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91—96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 362-0600-001, NPDES Program Implementation—Memorandum of Understanding Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs).
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES permit application should submit a statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated previously each application within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92.61. The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and shall contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and shall state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. In the case where a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.
