The proposed facility's Plan Approval 41-00084A was issued on January 31, 2013, to Moxie Energy LLC for construction of a natural-gas-fired combined-cycle power plant to produce approximately 900 MW at the Moxie Patriot Generation Plant in Clinton Township, Lycoming County. On January 30, 2014, the Department received notice from Panda Patriot, LLC, informing the Department that Moxie Patriot, LLC had been purchased by Panda Patriot, LLC with no change in the federal Tax ID number and the facility should be identified as the Panda Patriot Generation Plant. The Department issued a revision of Plan Approval 41-00084A on March 25, 2014, to incorporate the name change for the facility.
Panda Patriot has purchased 242 tons of NOx ERCs and only 6.82 tons of the required 69.2 tons of VOC ERCs. The balance of the VOC ERCs (62.4 tons) will be purchased prior to the operation of the facility. The proposed NOx ERCs were purchased from Techneglas, Inc. located in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. The proposed VOC ERCs were purchased from Bennington Paperboard Co. located in Rensselaer County, New York. The Department intends to issue Plan Approval 41-00084B for the Panda Patriot Generation Plant located in Clinton Township, Lycoming County, to incorporate 242 tons of NOx ERCs and 6.82 tons of VOC ERCs. The plan approval will offset the total net increase in potential to emit (PTE) for NOx and a portion of the net increase in PTE for VOC and make the ERCs federally enforceable prior to the ERCs expiring.
The Department's review of the information submitted by Panda Patriot, LLC indicates that the proposed ERCs will comply with the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 127.208, relating to ERC use and transfer requirements. Based on these findings, the Department intends to approve the application and issue a plan approval for the transfer and use of the ERCs. The Department has included the following conditions in the proposed plan approval.
1. This plan approval is granted solely for the transfer and use of ERCs according to 25 Pa. Code § 127.208(2), and does not authorize a person to construct, modify, or reactivate an air contaminant source or allow for the installation of an air cleaning device on an air contaminant source.
2. This plan approval authorizes the transfer and use of 242 tpy of NOx ERCs from Techneglas Inc. to Panda Patriot, LLC to meet the offset emissions requirements of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127.
3. This plan approval authorizes the transfer and use of 6.82 tpy of VOC ERCs from Bennington Paperboard Co. to Panda Patriot, LLC to meet the offset emissions requirements of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127.
4. Techneglas Inc. created NOx ERCs from shutdown of sources at their plant in Luzerne County. The 242 tpy of NOx ERCs were generated from shutdown of sources per the following schedule: 141.52 tpy on August 11, 2004 and 100.48 tpy on August 15, 2004.
5. Bennington Paperboard Co. created VOC ERCs from shutdown of sources at their plant in Rensselaer County, New York. The 6.82 tpy of VOC ERCs were generated from shutdown of sources on August 20, 2008.
6. These ERCs are to be used to satisfy offset emissions requirements of Plan Approval 41-00084A in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206—127.210, for the NOx and VOC emissions increases from the proposed facility.
7. Upon the issuance of this plan approval, the ERCs are no longer subject to expiration under 25 Pa. Code § 127.206(f), except as specified in 25 Pa. Code § 127.206(g). If the NOx and VOC ERCs identified in this plan approval are not used and subsequently re-entered into the ERC registry, the applicable 10-year expiration date may not be extended.
8. This approval satisfies the requirements of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subpart E (relating to new source review) including 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.205(4), 127.208(2), 127.209(c) and 127.210.

Proposed Revision to the State Implementation Plan to Meet the Requirements of Reasonably Available Control Technology set forth by the Clean Air Act Under the 8-Hour Ozone NAAQS; Public Hearing
The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAA) requires Philadelphia County (Philadelphia) to submit to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision demonstrating that Philadelphia has implemented all necessary Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) controls on all major stationary sources of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx).
The Philadelphia Department of Public Health, Air Management Services (AMS) is now seeking public comment on a proposed SIP revision that updates Philadelphia's RACT demonstration for the 1997 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).
On December 13, 2013 (78 FR 75902), EPA conditionally approved Philadelphia's 1997 8-hour ozone RACT demonstration provided in the 2006 and 2010 SIP revisions, based upon a commitment from AMS to submit additional SIP revisions to provide source-specific RACT determinations for certain major sources of VOC and NOx in Philadelphia and a certification that previously adopted source-specific RACT controls approved by EPA in the Pennsylvania's SIP under the 1-hour ozone NAAQS for the remaining sources in Philadelphia County (as listed in 40 CFR 52.2020(d)(1)) continue to adequately represent RACT for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS.
This SIP revision is intended to partially satisfy AMS' commitment by addressing source-specific RACT determinations for the following major sources of NOx:
• Exelon—Delaware Station (1325 N. Beach Street, Philadelphia, PA 19125), with three 15.5 MW combustion turbines and one 17.5 MW combustion turbine
• Exelon Generating Company—Richmond Station (3901 N. Delaware Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19137), with two 66 MW combustion turbines
• Exelon Generating Company—Schuylkill Station (2800 Christian Street, Philadelphia, PA 19146), with one 233 MMBTU/hr combustion turbine, one 284 MMBTU/hr combustion turbine, and one 2.75 MW emergency generator
• Veolia Energy Philadelphia—Edison Station (908 Sansom Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107), with two 283 MMBTU/hr boilers and two 335 MMBTU/hr boilers
• Veolia Energy—Schuylkill Station (2600 Christian Street, Philadelphia, PA 19146), with two 795 MMBTU/hr boilers, one 761 MMBTU/hr boiler, one 1119 MMBTU/hr boiler, and one 1515 MMBTU/hr combustion turbine.
In addition, AMS is revising the RACT plan approvals for the following facilities:
• Veolia Energy Philadelphia—Edison Station (908 Sansom Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107): AMS is adding emission limits of 185.93 tons of NOx per rolling 12 month period for the Boilers #1 and #2 and 220.1 tons of NOx per rolling 12 month period for Boilers #3 and #4.
• Veolia Energy—Schuylkill Station (2600 Christian Street, Philadelphia, PA 19146): AMS is adding an emission limit of 365.6 tons of NOx per rolling 12 month period for Boiler #23.
Anyone affected by the proposed updates to the SIP revision may submit written comments or a request for a public hearing by mail to Air Management Services, 321 University Avenue, 2nd Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19104, Attn: Karen Smith within thirty (30) days from today. If requested, AMS will hold a public hearing to discuss these issues on July 31, 2014, at 6 PM at the Spellman Building, 321 University Avenue, 1st Floor Conference Room, Philadelphia, PA 19104. Persons with a disability who desire to attend the meeting and require an auxiliary aid, service, or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact Alison Riley at (215) 685-9422 to discuss how AMS may accommodate their needs.

MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed NPDES permits associated with mining activity (coal or noncoal) permits. The applications concern industrial waste (mining) discharges to surface water and discharges of stormwater associated with mining activities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has prepared a draft NPDES permit and made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the associated mining activity permit.
Effluent Limits for Coal Mining Activities
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that are the more stringent of technology-based (BAT) effluent limitations or Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL).
The BAT limits for coal mining activities, as provided in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 87—90 are as follows:
30-Day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Iron (Total) 3.0 mg/l 6.0 mg/l 7.0 mg/l Manganese (Total) 2.0 mg/l 4.0 mg/l 5.0 mg/l Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 Alkalinity greater than acidity* * The parameter is applicable at all times. In addition, the Department imposes a technology-based aluminum limit of 2.0 mg/l (30 day average) to protect stream uses.
A settleable solids instantaneous maximum limit of 0.5 ml/l applies to: surface runoff (resulting from a precipitation event of less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from active mining areas; active areas disturbed by coal refuse disposal activities; mined areas backfilled and revegetated; and all other discharges and drainage (resulting from a precipitation event of greater than 1-year 24-hour to less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from coal refuse disposal piles. Similarly, modified BAT limits apply to iron, manganese and suspended solids in surface runoff, discharges and drainage resulting from these precipitation events and those of greater magnitude in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Exceptions to BAT effluent limits may be applicable in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities
The BAT limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 40 CFR Part 436 and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 77 are as follows:
30-day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l Alkalinity exceeding acidity* pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 * The parameter is applicable at all times. Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters.
In addition to BAT or WQBEL limits, coal and noncoal NPDES permits establish effluent limitations in the form of implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the associated Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, the Reclamation Plan and the NPDES permit application. These BMPs restrict the rates and quantities of associated pollutants from being discharged into surface waters in this Commonwealth.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur are incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91—96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 362-0600-001, NPDES Program Implementation—Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation, and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s). Additional discharge limitations may apply in the event that unexpected discharges occur.
Discharge rates for surface mining activities are precipitation driven. Discharge rates for proposed discharges associated with underground mining are noted in the permit description.
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES draft permit should submit a written statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each draft permit within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92a.82(d). The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.
