Interim Final Technical Guidance
DEP ID: 270-0810-006. Title: Guidance for Performing Single Stationary Source Determinations for Oil and Gas Industries. Description: The Department announces the availability of interim final technical guidance for performing single stationary source determinations for Oil and Gas Industries. There are significant gas exploration and extraction activities occurring in the Commonwealth within the Marcellus Shale formation and other formations. This guidance is intended to assist the Department air program permitting staff in making single source determinations for oil and gas industries in this Commonwealth.
Single source determinations arise when air contamination sources under common control are located on one or more contiguous or adjacent properties. These determinations will be made in the Commonwealth on a fact-specific and case-by-case basis, applying the ''common sense notion of plant.'' This interim final guidance applies to case-by-case analyses conducted by the Department's air program permitting staff when determining whether stationary sources should be considered a single source for permitting requirements applicable to programs including Prevention of Significant Deterioration Nonattainment New Source Review and Title V permitting programs. Contact: Questions regarding the interim final guidance can be directed to Krishnan Ramamurthy, Chief of the Division of Permits, Bureau of Air Quality at kramamurth@pa.gov or (717) 787-4325. Written Comments: Interested persons may submit written comments on this interim final technical guidance document by November 21, 2011. The Department will accept comments submitted by e-mail, but comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted. A return name and address must be included in each e-mail transmission. Written comments should be submitted to Krishnan Ramamurthy, Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Air Quality, P. O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8468 or kramamurth@pa.gov.
Effective Date: This interim final technical guidance is effective on October 12, 2011. The Department's Air Quality permitting staff will begin implementing the technical guidance in permitting decisions on an interim basis immediately, while public comments are being received and considered.
