46-0026G: Global Packaging, Inc. (209 Brower Avenue, Oaks, PA 19456) on March 13, 2014, to install a new 10-station flexographic printing press at its Oaks facility in Upper Providence Township, Montgomery County. This facility is a minor facility. The facility wide VOC emissions will stay below 25 tons per year. The combined HAP emissions will be below 25 tons per year. Each HAP emissions will stay below 10 tons per year. The Plan Approval and Operating Permit will contain recordkeeping requirements and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
46-0282: Titan International, Inc. (700 Queen Street, Pottstown, PA 19464) on March 13, 2014, to install two (2) batch reactor tanks, two (2) natural gas cooking kettles, and related metal recovery equipment, including fume scrubbers, at a new facility in Pottstown Borough, Montgomery County. The modification is to correct the source level testing condition for Source ID 101 (Reactor Tank DT1) and Source ID 102 (Reactor Tank DT2) to state testing shall be performed within 180 days of completion of construction of all sources listed in the plan approval. The associated technical review memo correctly stated testing to be performed within 180 days of construction; however the plan approval incorrectly stated testing to be performed within 180 days of plan approval issuance. The minor modification corrects this error. There are no other changes in the plan approval. Facility-wide potential to emit for all criteria pollutants is below major facility thresholds for the Philadelphia Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area. The plant is therefore a Natural Minor Facility. The plan approval will include monitoring, testing, recordkeeping and reporting requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.

Each boiler is equipped with Low NOx (nitrogen oxides) Burners and Flue Gas Recirculation. The boilers are the major emission source. With the Operating Permit renewal, the following emissions limitations per 12-month rolling period, are revised using updated emissions factors: NOx reduction to 1.7 tons/year and carbon monoxide (CO) increase to 1.27 tons/year. Limits for the boilers for particulate matter and volatile organic compounds (VOC) remain at 0.28 ton/year and 0.08 ton/year respectively. The facility has taken a restriction to operate the boilers as gas fired boilers, pursuant to 40 CFR Section 63.11237 thereby avoiding applicability of 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart JJJJJJ, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers Area Sources. The facility has also taken a restriction to operate the emergency generators in conformance with the exemption criteria for 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart ZZZZ, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines. The operating permit will include monitoring and recordkeeping requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
