AIR QUALITY
PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS The Department has developed an ''integrated'' plan approval, State Operating Permit and Title V Operating Permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the regional office listed before the applications. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule appointments.
Persons wishing to receive a copy of a proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit shall indicate interests to the Department regional office within 30 days of the date of this notice and shall file protests or comments on a proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed documents to persons or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that hearings be held concerning a proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit. A comment or protest filed with the Department regional office shall include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the Plan Approval or Operating Permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior the date of the hearing.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the regional office listed before the application. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
Final Plan Approvals and Operating Permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121—143, the Federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 7401—7671q) and regulations adopted under the Federal Clean Air Act.

59-00004: Ward Manufacturing, LLC (PO Box 9, 117 Gulick Street, Blossburg, PA) for renewal of a Title V Operating Permit for their facility in the Borough of Blossburg, Tioga County. The facility is currently operating under amended Title V Operating Permit 59-00004 revised August 5, 2010. The facility's main sources include a cupola, core machines, pouring lines operation and molding and casting operations. The facility has the potential to emit major quantities of carbon monoxide, total particulate matter, volatile organic compounds and hazardous air pollutant emissions. The proposed renewal Title V operating permit has incorporated the Compliance Assurance Monitoring (CAM) provisions applicable to the molding and casting operations for monitoring of the performance of the baghouse that control particulate matter emissions. The CAM provisions included in the proposed Title V operating permit require pressure differential monitoring in addition to the existing monitoring requirement using bag leak detection system. Additionally, the Department has made a preliminary determination on the RACT proposal from the company and included the proposed RACT conditions into the Title V operating permit proposal. The proposed renewal Title V operating permit also contains applicable Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) requirements for the cupola, core machines and pouring lines operation which includes monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting conditions to ensure compliance with this federal regulation as well as state regulations.

The facility is currently operating under renewal Title V Operating Permit 18-00007 issued on September 8, 2005. The facility's main sources of air contaminant source are 13 spray-booths. The facility is defined to be a major VOC emitting facility by 25 Pa. Code 121.1. The facility is also classified as a major source for hazardous air pollutants and particulate matter pursuant to the Clean Air Act. The proposed renewal Title V operating permit has revised the Compliance Assurance Monitoring (CAM) provisions applicable to 12 spray-booths. The CAM provisions included in the proposed Title V operating permit require pressure differential monitoring that reasonably assures compliance with the applicable particulate matter emissions limitations. The proposed renewal Title V operating permit contains applicable Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) requirements for the facility. Additional monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting and work practice conditions are included in the Title V operating permit to assure compliance with Federal and State air regulatory requirements.
