49-00047A: Furman Foods, Inc. (PO Box 500, 770 Cannery Road, Northumberland PA 17857-0500) for construction of an anaerobic digester that will handle maximum 0.85 MGD of wastewater from the plant's process in order to reduce the volume of wastewater sent to the irrigation field. Digester construction will also expand the current on-site treatment capabilities and further process additional wastewater from projected business growth. Further processing is also required for nutrient reduction as part of the Chesapeake Bay Tributary Strategy. Furman Foods also propose to install a flare and engine that will respectively control and combust biogas generated from the digester. The proposed engine will be a nominal 225 kW; bio-gas-fired engine-generator set to produce electricity at the wastewater treatment plant located on-site at the plant in Point Township, Northumberland County. A new scrubber will scrub the biogas sent to the engine to remove hydrogen sulfide. The scrubber media will be iron sponge (wood chip impregnated with iron oxide).
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by Furman Foods, Inc. indicates that the air contamination sources to be constructed will comply with applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources including the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code Section 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval for the proposed construction described in the previous paragraph.
The emissions (PTEs) from the digester will not exceed on a 12-consecutive month period basis; 3 tpy of nitrogen oxides, 15 tons of carbon monoxide, and 35 tons of sulfur dioxide using the flare for biogas destruction throughout the entire 12-consecutive month period and based on 8760 hours of operation. During normal operation, the engine will combust most (> 70%) of the biogas from the digester. The PTEs during normal operation from the engine are approximately equal to 3.4 tpy of nitrogen oxides, 1.7 tons of carbon monoxide, 0.1 tons of sulfur dioxide, 0.7 tpy of VOC as non-methane hydrocarbons, and 0.7 tpy of formaldehyde. To demonstrate compliance with ton per 12 CMP emissions limitations from the engines, Furman Foods will be required to conduct EPA reference method testing on the engine's exhaust for nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, and formaldehyde. Testing will measure the average emissions rate over at least three (3), 1-hour periods to assure the rates do not exceed the following guaranteed rates: nitrogen oxides—1.0 g/Bhp-hr, carbon monoxide—0.5 g/Bhp-hr, volatile organic compound—0.2 g/Bhp-hr, and formaldehyde—0.07 g/Bhp-hr.
In addition to the emission limitations above, the following is a summary of the types of conditions the Department intends to place in Plan Approval 49-00047A to ensure compliance with applicable Federal and State regulatory requirements including the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code Sections 127.1 and 127.12.
Annual testing on the engine for NOx and CO.Monitoring requirement of the H2S from the outlet of the scrubber.
Monitoring requirements of the pilot flame of the flare and temperature of the combustion zone in the flare.
Monitoring requirement of the engine's catalyst inlet temperature.
Monitoring requirements of monthly engine and flare run-time hours.Work practice requirements to construct and operate the engine (and catalyst), scrubber, and flare in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and good air pollution control practices.

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. Notices of requests for 401 Water Quality Certifications are included in individual application notices, as noted.
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—123 and 86.31—34 (relating to public notices of filing of permit applications, opportunity for comment, and informal conferences).
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 (relating to public hearing-informal conferences) or § 86.34 (relating to informal conferences), 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.
Where 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 below. 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 through 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 (MOU) Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation, and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s) (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 above 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.
