08-00045A: Moxie Liberty, LLC (612 Center Street South, Suite 200, Vienna, VA 22180) has submitted an application to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection for plan approval to construct a natural gas-fired combined-cycle power plant to produce 936 MW or less of electricity in Asylum Township, Bradford County. The project consists of two identical 1 x 1 power blocks, and each block includes a combustion gas turbine and a steam turbine. Each combined-cycle process will also include a heat recovery steam generator and supplemental duct burners. Additionally, one diesel-fired emergency generator, one diesel-fired fire water pump, two diesel fuel storage tanks, two lube oil storage tanks, and one aqueous ammonia storage tank were proposed to be constructed and operated. Each combined-cycle process will be rated at 468 MW or less. The heat input rating of each combustion gas turbine is 2890 MMBtu/hr (HHV) or less, and the heat input rating of each supplemental duct burner is equal to 387 MMBtu/hr (HHV) or less. This application is subject to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) of Air Quality regulations of 40 CFR 52.21, the Nonattainment New Source Review (NNSR) regulations of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.201—27.218, and the Best Available Technology (BAT) requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. The facility's total particulate matter (PM) including total PM10 and total PM2.5, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, and greenhouse gas emissions are subject to the PSD requirements. The facility's nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds emissions are also subject to the NNSR requirements. The Department has determined that the proposed levels of the air contaminants emissions satisfy best available control technology (BACT) and Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER) requirements as well as the Department's BAT requirements.
The facility is also subject to the following Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources (NSPS): 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart KKKK—Standards of Performance for Stationary Combustion Turbines codified in 40 CFR 60.4300 through 60.4420 and 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart IIII—Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines codified in 40 CFR 60.4200 through 60.4219. The proposed project is also subject to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines codified 40 CFR 63.6580 through 63.6675 as applicable to the proposed diesel-fired engines. The Department has determined that this facility satisfies all applicable requirements of these subparts including Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) requirements.
Pursuant to the PSD provisions of 40 CFR 52.21 and 25 Pa. Code § 127.83, Moxie Liberty has performed dispersion modeling. The air quality analysis methodology is consistent with the ''Guideline on Air Quality Models'' codified in Appendix W to 40 CFR Part 51, associated United States Environmental Protection Agency modeling policy and guidance, and the Department's recommendations. The air quality analysis adequately demonstrates that the proposed emissions due to the project will not cause or significantly contribute to air pollution in violation of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter less than 2.5 micrometers (PM-2.5), and particulate matter less than 10 micrometers (PM-10), and the PSD standards for NO2, PM-2.5, and PM-10. In addition, the analysis adequately demonstrates that the project's proposed emissions, in conjunction with anticipated emissions due to general commercial, residential, industrial, and other growth associated with the project, will not impair visibility, soils, and vegetation. Furthermore, the effect of the project's emissions on air quality related values, including visibility, in Federal Class I areas is adequately addressed.
Based on the findings presented above, the Department intends to issue a plan approval for the proposed project. The following is a summary of the conditions that the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable air quality regulatory requirements:

57-00005A: Appalachia Midstream Services, LLC (P. O. Box 54382, 6100 N. Western Avenue, Oklahoma City OK 73154) has submitted an application to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (Department) for plan approval to construct five compressor engines and one dehydration unit at their Cherry Compressor Station located in Cherry Township, Sullivan County. The respective facility is a state only (natural minor) facility for which a state only operating permit has not yet been issued.
The Department's review of the information submitted by Appalachia Midstream Services indicates that the compressor engines to be constructed will comply with applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources. Additionally, the Department has determined that the proposed engines satisfy best available technology (BAT) requirements, pursuant to 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 as well as the Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines specified in 40 CFR 60, Subpart JJJJ. Pursuant to the requirements of BAT, the compressor engines are restricted to emit emissions for the following pollutants at a rate above; 0.50 g/Bhp-hr for nitrogen oxide (NOx), 0.19 g/Bhp-hr for carbon monoxide (CO), 0.16 g/Bhp-hr for volatile organic compounds (VOC, expressed as NMNEHC), and 0.04 g/Bhp-hr for formaldehyde. To demonstrate compliance with these limitations, Appalachia will be required to conduct EPA reference method testing on each engine-compressor's exhaust for NOx, CO, VOC, and formaldehyde emissions. Continuous compliance demonstration will include monitoring of operational parameters of the catalyst and testing for NOx and CO on an approximate quarterly basis. The compressor-engines are also required to use only pipeline quality natural gas as fuel for operation. Each engine-compressor has a site rating of 3,550 bhp.
Based on the findings above, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval with annual emission restrictions for all sources at the Cherry Compressor Station as well as monitoring, recordkeeping and work practice requirements to verify compliance with the annual emission restrictions.
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 57-00005A to ensure compliance with applicable Federal and State regulatory requirements including the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12.
Initial and subsequent testing at the exhaust of each engine-compressors using Department-approved methods on an approximate annual basis
Monitoring requirement to take representative samples of gas into the station, the inlet and outlet exhaust temperature of catalysts to demonstrate continuous compliance with the destruction efficiency of the catalyst and monitoring requirement on the engines-compressors for nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide emissions on an approximate quarterly basis
Recordkeeping requirement for engine-compressors' gas usage and operational hours including the records of all required monitoring
Work practice requirement to construct and operate in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and good air pollution control practices, minimize blowdowns and limit the emission of malodors to level undetectable outside the property
The air contaminate emissions from all sources at the proposed compressor station will be restricted to the following annual 12 consecutive month limitations; 92.4 tpy for NOx, 42.3 tpy for CO, 42.3 tpy for VOC, 1.5 tpy for sulfur oxide, 6.3 tpy for particulate matter (PM) including PM10 and PM2.5, 7.1 tpy for formaldehyde, and 22.6 tpy for hazardous air pollutants (HAP). Compliance requirements for these annual restrictions include monthly recordkeeping of emissions from each source at the proposed station

25-1025A: Erie Cemetery Association (2116 Chestnut Street, Erie, PA 16502), the Department intends to issue a plan approval for authorization to continue operation of two existing crematories at their existing facility in the City of Erie, Erie County. Public notice is required for sources required to obtain a Plan Approval in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.44.
The identical crematories were installed in 1959 and 1975. Erie Cemetery Association (ECA) was unaware that they should have received authorization for the crematory built in 1975. The units' operation has never resulted in a complaint to the Department or ECA. This plan approval issuance is subject to the following special conditions:
Work Practice
1) The crematories' burners shall be operated and maintained as prescribed by the manufacturer. A copy of the burner's operational and maintenance literature shall be maintained onsite with the units at all times.
2) The owner/operator may only cremate human remains and the container used to transport the remains.
3) The owner/operator of the crematory must ensure that all medical devices (e.g. pacemakers, defibrillators, etc.) and potentially hazardous remedial devices (e.g. radioactive implants, etc.) have been removed from bodies and properly disposed of prior to cremation. Documentation certifying compliance with this requirement shall be maintained for each cremation.
4) The crematory shall be:
a. Operated in such a manner as not to cause air pollution, as defined in 25 Pa. Code § 121.1.
b. Operated and maintained in a manner consistent with good operating and maintenance practices.
c. Attended by a trained operator at all times when the unit is in operation.
d. Operated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications and the applicable terms and conditions of this Permit.
e. Operated such that the temperature at the exit of the secondary chamber shall be maintained at or above 1600° F throughout the cremation cycle.
f. Observed by a trained operator for stack emissions. The permittee shall verify compliance with visible and odor emission limitations through the following procedures:
i. The permittee shall observe the exhaust stack of the crematory at least once during each cremation cycle for the presence of visible emissions;
ii. If any visible or odor emissions are apparent, the permittee shall take immediate action to eliminate them; and
iii. If any visible or odor emissions are apparent after the corrective action, the crematory shall not start another cremation cycle until the permittee can verify compliance with the visible emission limitations specified in this plan approval through methods prescribed in 25 Pa. Code § 123.43 (relating to measuring techniques), such as Method 9 readings taken by a certified visible emissions reader.
iv. At a minimum of once during any consecutive six month period, visible stack emissions shall be measured by an individual certified in method 9 visible emission evaluation. The observations shall begin during initial firing of the primary chamber and shall occur for a minimum of 30 minutes with averages taken in 3 minute intervals. A record of this evaluation shall be kept on site in a log and shall include (at a minimum) the name, title, and signature of the observer, documentation of certification, the date, time, temperature, description of atmospheric conditions, and the approximate weight of material to be cremated. Erie Cemetery Association may petition the Department for a reduced frequency of these visible emission evaluations after four compliant observations have been made in succession.
g. If nighttime operation of the crematory is to occur, adequate artificial lighting of the plume at the stack outlet must be provided to enable observations of stack emissions at night.
Monitoring
The owner/operator shall install, maintain, and operate continuous temperature monitors to measure the temperatures at the exit from the primary combustion chamber and at the exit from the secondary (or last) chamber of the crematory. Sensors shall be located such that flames from the burners do not impinge on the sensors. These temperatures shall be recorded in either analog or digital read-only format.
Recordkeeping
The owner/operator shall maintain records of:
i. Visible emission observations and any corrective actions;
ii. A time and corresponding temperature during each cremation cycle when the temperature of the secondary (or last) combustion chamber achieves 1600°F or greater.
iii. The number of cremations performed;
iv. Operating training certification(s);
v. Burner adjustments and maintenance;
vi. Thermocouple calibrations, adjustments and replacements;
vii. The removal from the body and proper disposal of any implanted electronic devices and potentially hazardous remedial devices
Emission Restrictions
1) No person may permit the emission to the outdoor atmosphere of particulate matter from any incinerator, at any time, in such a manner that the particulate matter concentration in the effluent gas exceeds 0.1 grain per dry standard cubic foot, corrected to 12% carbon dioxide. (Filterable Only)
2) Visible emissions shall not exceed either of the following limitations:
i. Equal to or greater than 20% for a period or periods aggregating more than three minutes in any 1 hour;
ii. Equal to or greater than 40% at any time.
3) [25 Pa. Code § 123.31] A person may not permit the emission into the outdoor atmosphere of any malodorous air contaminants from any source in such a manner that the malodors are detectable outside the property of the person on whose land the source is being operated.
