46-0001: JBS Souderton, Inc. (741 Souder Road, Souderton, PA 18964) for installation of a new 48.28 MMBtu/hr gaseous-fired Johnston Boiler (Source ID 040) at the rendering plant in Franconia Township, Montgomery County. The boiler will be equipped with a low-NOx boiler and flue gas recirculation. JBS is a major source of Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions, currently operating under TVOP No. 46-00001. The installation will not trigger New Source Review or Prevention of Severe Deterioration for any criteria pollutant, including Greenhouse Gases. The source is not subject to Compliance Assurance Monitoring pursuant to 40 CFR Part 64 because the potential pre-control NOx emissions are less than the major facility threshold for the Philadelphia Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area (25 tpy). The plan approval will include monitoring, testing, recordkeeping and reporting requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
09-00053: Greif Packaging LLC (695 Louis Drive, Warminster, PA 18974) for the following changes at its existing steel drum manufacturing facility in Warminster Township, Bucks County:
- Modification of the volatile organic compound (''VOC'')/hazardous air pollutant (''HAP'') emission capture and control system.
- Installation of a new regenerative thermal oxidizer (''RTO'') and the removal of an existing RTO (Source ID C05 in State Only Operating Permit No. 09-00053).
- An increase to the total operating time for the three spray booths and three associated (dedicated) bake ovens from 5,600 hours per year (on a 12-month rolling basis) to 6,600 hours per year (on a 12-month rolling basis).
The facility is currently permitted under State Only (Synthetic Minor) Operating Permit No. 09-00053. Since the DEP renewed the State Only Operating Permit (''SOOP'') in 2008, Greif Packaging LLC modified the VOC emission capture and control system at the facility, such that the actual emissions of xylene, a HAP, have exceeded 10 tons/yr (on a 12-month rolling basis), the major facility threshold. As a result, the facility's status has changed from State Only to Title V, and the affected coating operations at the facility (i.e., the aforementioned spray booths and bake ovens, a silk screen machine, an inkjet printer, an adhesives operation, and all associated cleanup operations) have become subject to the provisions of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart MMMM. These changes will be reflected in the Plan Approval, which is intended to supersede the SOOP for all sources except the existing RTO.
To demonstrate compliance with the applicable organic HAP emission restriction from 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart MMMM (i.e., 0.31 kg/L coating solids [2.6 lbs/gal coating solids] for general use coatings), for the affected coating operations at the facility, Greif Packaging LLC has elected to use the emission rate without add-on controls option as the compliance option for all affected coating operations. Greif Packaging LLC's subsequent conversion (from when the VOC/HAP emission capture and control system at the facility was modified) to lower-VOC/HAP-content coatings is integral to the affected coating operations complying with the organic HAP emission restriction.
Greif Packaging LLC has elected to restrict VOC emissions from the facility to less than 21 tons/yr and HAP emissions from the facility to less than 10 tons/yr for any individual HAP and less than 21 tons/yr for total HAPs. While this will not serve to change the facility's status as Title V or being subject to the provisions of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart MMMM, it will ensure that the facility will not be subject to the Compliance Assurance Monitoring (''CAM'') requirements of 40 CFR Part 64 whenever the Plan Approval is incorporated into a Title V Operating Permit.
The Plan Approval will include monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting, and work practice requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.

14-00003F: Pennsylvania State University (Office of Physical Plant Building Room 101P, University Park, PA 16802) for a plan approval for a West Campus Steam Plant (WCSP) Improvement Project proposal at the WCSP which is located on the University Park Campus located in College Township, Centre County. This project's proposal consists of replacing two (2) coal-fired units with natural gas-fired, removing the old gas-fired boiler (Boiler No. 5) and converting two (2) existing coal-fired units to fire solely natural gas as fuel for operation in order to reduce the potential to emit levels of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions below the major source of HAP thresholds, 10/25 tons per year for single HAP and combined HAP, respectively. As applicable and set forth in the following regulatory requirements, the application is subject to the best available technology (BAT) provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 apply to the new units that will replace Boiler No. 1 and 2. The details about the level of potential to emit for the air contaminants emissions from the new gas-fired units can be found below in the list of conditions for the proposal.
The proposed boilers' emissions are also subject to National Standards of Performance for Stationary Industrial Boilers as codified in 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart Db. Additionally, the gas-fired unit criteria, as specified in 40 CFR 63.11195(e) apply to the new boilers by the permittee electing to fire the new boilers on distillate oil as per the gas-fired unit criteria specified in 40 CFR 63.11237. Firing on distillate oil will be restricted to local emergency gas curtailments and maintenance testing limited to 48 hours per year. The Department has determined that the proposed levels of the air contaminants emissions satisfy MACT requirements as well as the Department's BAT requirements.
The stationary emergency generator sources specified in the proposal are subject to the National Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark-Ignited and Compress- ion Ignited Engines that are codified in 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart JJJJ and Subpart IIII, respectively. In addition, the stationary emergency generator sources are subject to the National Emission Standards of Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines that is codified 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart ZZZZ. The Department has determined that the proposed sources meet all applicable air quality regulatory requirements.
The Department's review of the information submitted by Pennsylvania State University indicates that the proposed sources will meet all applicable air quality regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the Department's BAT requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on these findings, the Department intends to approve the application and issue a plan approval for the construction and operation of the sources specified in this proposal for the WCSP Improvement Project. The facility is a major (Title V) facility. The project will lower the level of potential to emit for hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions below the major source thresholds. If the Department determines that the sources are constructed and operating in compliance with the plan approval conditions and the specification of the application for Plan Approval 14-00003F, the requirements established in the plan approval will be incorporated into Title V Operating Permit 14-00003 by the administrative amendment provisions pursuant to 25 Pa. Code § 127.450. 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:
